单词 kirmew
释义

kirmewn.

Etymology: < German kirrmeve, < kirren to coo, chirp, cry with a harsh sound + meve gull, mew n.1
Obsolete.
The common Tern. It is doubtful whether the word has any standing in English except as occurring in quot. 16942 (transl. from German), which is also the source cited by Pennant, from whom subsequent writers get the name. Montagu ( Ornith. Dict. 1802–33) gives also kirman, probably an error.
ΘΚΠ
the world > animals > birds > order Charadriiformes > family Laridae (gulls and terns) > [noun] > member of genus Sterna (tern) > sterna hirundo (common tern)
