Flag: (Heb., or rather Egyptian, ahu,)
(Job 8:11) rendered "meadow" in
(Genesis 41:2,18) probably the Cyperus esculentus, a species of rush eaten
by cattle, the Nile reed. It also grows in Palestine. In
(Exodus 2:3,5)
(Isaiah 19:6) it is the rendering of the Hebrew suph, a word which
occurs frequently in connection with yam; as yam suph, to denote
the "Red Sea" (q.v.) or the sea of weeds (as this word is rendered,)
(Jonah 2:5) It denotes some kind of sedge or reed which grows in
marshy places.
