Lapwing
the name of an unclean bird, mentioned only in Lev. 11:19 and
Deut. 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.
