קוּפַּד קוּפְּדָא #2   n.m./f. #2  hedgehog, porcupine


  hedgehog, porcupine  JLAtg, Sam, Syr, Man.  TgJ Is14:23 : וַאְשַוֵינַה לִירוּתַת קוּפדִין.

At P Zeph 2:14 the original meaning (i.e., either "hedgehog" or bird) is somewhat unclear, although the parallelism suggests the latter. However, presumably based on the LXX ἐχῖνος, as well as the verbal root qpd , later tradition understood it as the former.
