OWL, LITTLE

(koc; nuktikorax; Latin Athene meridionalis): A night bird of prey distinguished by a round head, and extremely large eyes. The little owl is left in the Revised Version (British and American) only in the lists of abominations (see Leviticus 11:17 Deuteronomy 14:16).

See OWL.

WAY, LITTLE
