a flea.{Parosh,} (in Arabic {borghooth,} Syriac, {poorthano,}) the well known little contemptible and troublesome insect, the flea, seems to be so called from its agility in leaping and skipping, from {para,} "free," and {raash,} "to leap, bound." David, by comparing himself to this insect, seems to import, that while it would cost Saul much pains to catch him, he would obtain but very little advantage from it.

a partridge.{Korai} certainly denotes the partridge, which is called in Arabic, {kiräa.} It seems to be so called from the cry or {cur} which it utters when calling its young.
