Good ????. It does say ??? ????? with regard to humans as well – ?????????? ????-???? ??? ??????? ?????????? ???????? ????-???? ?????? ????? ????? ????????? ?????? ????? – but the appellation ??? ????? seems strange for an animal. Chizkuni makes note that with regard to birds, the Torah never uses these terms. He says that these terms apply to any being whose physical ????? ?????? is similar to a human’s. Rambam writes that these words are typical homonyms (in the sense he uses the word) – words which start off with one meaning and then are “borrowed” to mean other things. He writes (Guide 1:6):
“The two Hebrew nouns ??? and ??? were originally employed to designate the “male and female” of human beings, but were afterwards applied to the “male and female” of the other species of the animal creation. For instance, we read, “Of every clean beast you shall take for you by sevens,” ??? ????? (Gen. 7:2), in the same sense as ??? ????, “male and female.” The term ??? ????? was afterwards applied to anything designed and prepared for union with another object. Thus we read, “The five curtains shall be coupled together, one (???) to the other” (?????) (Exod. 26:3).”
