מָרוֹד   n.m.  wild ass, onager


  wild ass, onager  JLAtg, LJLA.  TgO Gen16:12 : וְהוּא יְהֵי מָרוֹד  [=MT וְהוּא יִהְיֶה פֶּרֶא אָדָם].  TgJob6:5? : {מ}<ע>רודא.  TgJob39:5 : מן פטר מרודא בר חורי ושושלי ערודא מן שארי.

Probably the same word as "rebellious" used as a special targumic word based on its occurrence in TgO Gen 16:12 where it glosses פֶּרֶא אָדָם. The more frequent use in LJLA shows that this variant is the correct early one in the Onqelos text, otherwise it would not have been re-used by later targumists.
