צְלָצַל m.n. (pl. צִלְצָלִים) a species of locust, cricket (Deut. 28:42). [According to most commentators the same word appears in the phrase אֶרֶץ צִלֽצַל כּֽנָפַיִם (Is. 18:1) which accordingly means ‘the land of the winged locusts’. The word prob. derives from צלל ᴵᴵ and lit. means ‘the whirring insect’. cp. Syr. צֶצְרָא, צַרְצּוֹרָא, Arab. ṣarṣar, ṣarṣūr, Akka. ṣarṣaru. cp. also צוֹצֵל and צַרֽצוּר ᴵᴵ.]
