  • The pygarg (/ˈpaɪɡɑːɡ/) is an animal mentioned in the Bible in Deuteronomy 14:5 as one of the animals permitted for food. The Septuagint translates the Hebrew ḏîšōn (דִּישֹׁן) as pygargos in Koiné Greek ("white-rumped", from pyge "buttocks" and argo "white"), and the King James Version takes from there its term pygarg. Henry Baker Tristram (1867) proposed that the pygarg was the Saharan antelope addax and described it as "a large animal, over 3+1⁄2 feet [1 m] high at the shoulder, and, with its gently-twisted horns, 2+1⁄2 feet [80 cm] feet long. Its colour is pure white, with the exception of a short black mane, and a tinge of tawny on the shoulders and back". Outside the biblical use, the term was also applied to the Siberian roe deer in the 18th century, whose specific name is pygargus in scientific Latin. (en)
  • Disom (em hebraico: דישון, "pular") é um clã horeu, mencionado como o "filho" mais novo e em outros lugares como o "neto" de Seir. A forma Disom ocorre várias vezes na lista dos clãs horeus, juntamente com muitos outros nomes totem. Também é uma palavra mencionada na Bíblia , como um dos animais permitidos para o alimentação. A septuaginta a traduz como "desonestidade", como "pygargos" (que significa "traseira branca"). Assume-se que ela seja a ser a antílope adax. É descrito como "um animal de grande porte, com cerca de 3½ metros de altura no nível do ombro e com chifres gentilmente trançados com cerca de 2½ metros de comprimento. Sua cor é o branco puro, com exceção de uma juba preta curta, e um toque de fulvo sobre os ombros e costas.". Henry Baker Tristram, A História Natural da Bíblia (1867). (pt)
