דַּיָּה f., Deuteronomy 14:13; Isaiah 34:15, some bird of prey, dwelling amongst ruins. According to Bochart, the black vulture; compare דְּיוֹ. I prefer the falcon, or kite, called from its swift flight, so that דַּיָּה may be from דָּאָה (א doubled being changed into י like the Syr. ܫܐܶܠ Pa. ܫܰܝܶܠ). LXX. ἰκτῖνος, Vulg. milvus.
