II. scream, scold,
screaming, scolding, Frey Dozy ii. 195; Syriac 
anger, reviling); — only Qal Imperfect 3 masculine singular וַיָּ֫עַט בָּהֶם 1 Samuel 25:14 and he screamed at them (of Nabal).
[עִיט] verb denominative dart greedily (like a bird of prey); —
Qal Imperfect 3 masculine singular וַיַּ֫עַט Qr (Kt:erroneous ויעשׂ) 1 Samuel 14:32 and the people darted greedily upon the spoil (אֶלהַֿשָּׁלָל, Song of Solomon 2masculine singular וַתַּ֫עַט 1 Samuel 15:19 (on forms see Ges§ 72 f f.).
עִיט (or עוּט Hiphil), to press upon, to rush violently upon any person or thing. (Kindred to the roots עוּשׁ, עוּת. Syr. ܙܶܬܥܰܝܶܛ to be indignant, to rush upon any one; ܥܝܰܛܙܳ indignation, wrath.

I formerly (see on Isaiah 22:17) referred these forms to the root עָטָה (and this has been followed by Winer in his Lexicon), in the sense of laying hold, and seizing, comparing the Arab. عطا, in which however the only notion is that of taking, receiving.
