Brown-Driver-Briggs Expanded Definition
 עָגוּר noun [masculine] apparently understood by Masoretes as name of a bird; very uncertain; crane according to Saad (Isaiah), but note of crane not suitable (Tristr NHB 239f.); — וְתוֺר וְסוּס וְעָגוּר Jeremiah 8:7; כְּסוּס עָגוּר Isaiah 38:14 (but here gloss Klo Brd Di Dn Che Hpt); Thes and (in Jeremiah) Hi Gf Gie strike out וְ and take ׳ע as adjective of סוס = twittering or the like; Thes assumes transpos. from גער, Ethiopic cry.

I, II, III. עַד see I. עדה. עֵד see עוד.

עֹד see עוֺד. עִדֹּא see עדד. below,

עדד (√ of following; compare Arabic count, reckon, number, period; Aramaic עִדָּנָא time).

Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition

עָגוּר masc. adj. gyrating, wheeling, flying in circles, from the root עָגַר, which see. It is

(a) epith. of the swallow, Isaiah 38:14, כְּסוּס עָגוּר “like a swallow wheeling in circles” [chirping, chattering, twittering, is the meaning given in Thes.] (LXX. omit עָגוּר; Syr. render, chattering swallow).

(b) poet. for the swallow itself, Jeremiah 8:7. Compare דְּרוֹר, the etymology of which is very similar. Bochart (Hieroz. ii. 68, seq.) regards the word עָגוּר as signifying the crane; but his arguments have but little weight. This meaning is principally refuted by the passage referred to in Isaiah, which Bochart renders “as the swallow, and as the crane,” a sense which would have been expressed by כַּסּוּס וְכֶעָגוּר Both words being without the article clearly shews that the first is a substantive, and the second its epithet; compare כְּקֵן מְשֻׁלָּח Isaiah 16:2 כְּמֹץ עֹבֵר 29:5 כְּנַחַל שׁוֹטֵף 30:28. Compare page 212, B.
