Meadow

	Meadow
   (1.) Heb. ha'ahu (Gen. 41:2, 18), probably an Egyptain word
   transferred to the Hebrew; some kind of reed or water-plant. In
   the Revised Version it is rendered "reed-grass", i.e., the sedge
   or rank grass by the river side.
   
     (2.) Heb. ma'areh (Judg. 20:33), pl., "meadows of Gibeah"
   (R.V., after the LXX., "Maareh-geba"). Some have adopted the
   rendering "after Gibeah had been left open." The Vulgate
   translates the word "from the west."
