Etymology 1
Unclear. Compares to Aramaic הדיא (hāḏāyā), הודיא (hōḏāyā, “a kind of bird of prey”), Mishnaic Hebrew הֲדָיָה (haḏāyā, “a bird of the hawk species”), for earlier Biblical Hebrew דָּאׇה (dāʾā), דַּיָּה (dayyā) either of which has been assumed to mean “kite” and equated with Aramaic דַּיְיתָא, דַּיְתָא (dayyəṯā), דַּיּוּתָא (dayyūṯā), which is found in in Classical Syriac as ܕܰܝܬ݂ܳܐ (dayṯā, “kite”), ܕܰܝܘܱܝ (dayway, “kite”), even Ugaritic 𐎄𐎛𐎊 (dỉy, “a kind of bird of prey”), and curiously poetic Arabic اِبْن دَأْيَة (ibn daʾya, “raven”), like the Aramaic and Hebrew bird names with h- are also preceded by בַּר (bar) respectively בֶּן (ben, “son”), sometimes in the latter בַּר (bar) which exposes the latter as an Aramaism, so perhaps the Arabic terms are too, with better-preserved consonantism as in كَمَأ (kamaʾ, “truffle”). The Tigre ሕዶ (ḥədo, “owl”) may be an only random correspondence.
