Brown-Driver-Briggs Expanded Definition

סְנַמִּיר noun [masculine] fin (Late Hebrew id.; quadriliteral according to Sta^{§ 243}; Fl in Levy^{NHWB iii. 725 a} compare Aramaic סִמְמּוֺרִין points, nails, and derive this from סַמֵּר verb nail, with infixed פ (Levy^{ChWB ii. 507 b})); — Leviticus 11:9,10,12 = Deuteronomy 14:9,10.

Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition

סְנַפִּיר quadrilit. the fin of fishes, Levit. 11:9 Deuteronomy 14:9. The origin is uncertain. It may seem however to come from the triliteral root, נָפַר, نفر to flee, to hasten, Piel, to propel; with a sibilant prefixed. Comp. Lehrg. p. 862. [“Perhaps from زنفل to hasten, and نفر to flee.”]
