aja

AJA
apud Hebræos accipitris species est, quam veteres Æsalonem, Germani Smirle, Galli Esmerillon appellant. Nomen a clamore. Uti enim aquilarum clangere est, milvorum jugere vel lipire, accipitrum pipare, et crocitare corvorum ; ita ja, ja secundum Arabes hujus avis proprium est, unde ipsa Hebræis dicta videtur איה Aja ; unde de ejus oculo legimus Job. 28. 7 : Semitam non novit avis, neque eam vidit oculus Aja. Hæc ex Hofmanni Lexico.
