טוּשׂ to fly violently, to seek for prey, as an eagle, properly to dash upon, compare German ftoßen, a word appropriated to birds of prey, whence Stößer, Stoßvogel, the English word to toss. Job 9:26, כְּנֶשֶׁר יָטוּשׂ עֲלֵי אֹכֶל (With this corresponds Syr. ܛܣܳ used of the flying of an eagle or vulture, for Hebrew דָּאָה Jeremiah 48:40, 49:22 Pael, Deuteronomy 32:11; Job 39:13 ܛܝܣܳܐ a lofty or vehement flight.)
