In Deuteronomy 14:15 and Leviticus 11:16, the singular masculine noun appears within a sequence of bird names. In Deuteronomy 14:15 the APB renders the list, "The daughter of the ostrich, the ostrich, the gull, and the hawk of its kind," while in Leviticus 11:16 it renders, "the ostrich, the nighthawk, the sea gull, and the hawk according to its kind;".
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB places the term in bird lists in both verses, so its precise English correspondence cannot be isolated with certainty.
