נְפִלִים noun masculine plural giants, according to ᵐ5 γίγαντες so ᵑ6ᵑ9; הַנְּפִלִים Genesis 6:4 (J), הַנְּפִילִים בְּנֵי עֲנָקמִןהַֿנְּפִלִים Numbers 13:33 (JE); ᵐ5 omit ׳בְּנֵי וגו, and so Di; these words perhaps doublet, but already in ⅏, also ᵑ9 (etymology dubious; compare Aramaic נִיפְלָא, נְפִילָא Orion; conjectures see in Thes Di^{on the passage}; Tu Kn Len^{Or. i. 344, Eng. Tr. 345f.}; Che^{Hebraica. iii (1887), 175,176}; all very precarious).
