Easton, 1897

Heb. ayalah (2 Samuel 22:34; Psalms 18:33, etc.) and ayeleth (Psalms 22, title), the female of the hart or stag. It is referred to as an emblem of activity (Genesis 49:21), gentleness (Proverbs 5:19), feminine modesty (Song of Solomon 2:7; Song of Solomon 3:5), earnest longing (Psalms 42:1), timidity (Psalms 29:9). In the title of Psalms 22, the word probably refers to some tune bearing that name.
