See FOWL. Cp. ornis, a hen.
2 | Strong's Number: g4071 | Greek: peteinon |
Bird (Fowl):
signifies "that which is able to fly, winged." It is connected with ptenon signifying "feathered, winged," which is used in 1Cr 15:39. Cp. petomai and petaomai, "to fly." In the Gospels the RV always translates it "birds," e.g., Mat 6:26; but "fowls" in Act 10:12; 11:6. The AV unsuitably has "fowls," in the Gospels, except Mat 8:20; 13:32; Luk 9:58.
