Shiggaion

Easton, 1897

From the verb shagah, "to reel about through drink," occurs in the title of Psalms 7. The plural form, shigionoth, is found in Habakkuk 3:1. The word denotes a lyrical poem composed under strong mental emotion; a song of impassioned imagination accompanied with suitable music; a dithyrambic ode.
