Lapwing: The name of an unclean bird, mentioned only in
(Leviticus 11:19; Deuteronomy 14:18)
The Hebrew name of this bird, dukiphath, has been generally
regarded as denoting the hoope (Upupa epops), an onomatopoetic word
derived from the cry of the bird, which resembles the word "hoop;" a
bird not uncommon in Palestine. Others identify it with the English
peewit.
