ḥérek ḷeṣtát di-ṣáˁanhin kaḷ íno nóʸher di-yeḥéľen aḷ-ŝínik ‘I looked up to see whether there was a bird flying around, but didn’t see any’ (CSOL I 8:27)

In the Vienna corpus two lexemes clearly represent the meaning “bird”: nóʸher and eṣféroʰ. The former is slightly less common than the later, and these terms seems to be synonymous. In the dialect of the Da’rho tribe, however, only nóʸher is used as a general term for “bird”, while eṣféroʰ is said to designate a concrete bird species (”sparrow”). There is also a possibility that nóʸher and eṣféroʰ are used to as generic terms for big and small birds respectively.
