   In Deuteronomy 14:16 and Leviticus 11:17, the masculine singular noun occurs among named creatures; the APB renders the surrounding lists with bird names. In Isaiah 34:11, the same form is included among creatures that “possess it and dwell in it,” while the APB describes the place with “formlessness” and “void.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term with “owl” in Deuteronomy 14:16 and Isaiah 34:11, but Leviticus 11:17 includes both “little owl” and “great owl” in its list. These labels do not by themselves isolate the term's precise contribution.
