Raah. Daah.IXION. A sort of bird mentioned in Deut. xiv. 13. Moses places it among the unclean birds. It is a kind of vultur, is white, and has a very piercing eye. The Hebrew word which S. Jerom here translates Ixion, in Leviticus xi. 14. he has interpreted Hawk. This Hebrew word is raah, or daab ; the transcribers confounding the letter resch with daleth, write raah in Deuteronomy, and daah in Leviticus.
