to efron 241 Was intended as a fictional name given by human colonist (the ones of the starships) to tha huge flying beast they discovered on the planet. the name derives fron Old Bible: here the behemoth description (source wikipedia): Behemoth is the name of a creature mentioned in the Book of Job, 40:15-24. In Hebrew it can be rendered as בהמות, Bəhēmh, Behemot, B'hemot; in Arabic بهيموث (Bahīmūth) or بهموت (Bahamūt) . The word is most likely a plural form of בהמה (bəhēmāh ("animal")). It may be an example of pluralis excellentiae, a Hebrew method of expressing greatness by pluralizing a noun; it thus indicates that Behemoth is the largest and most powerful animal. Metaphorically, the name has come to be used for any extremely large or powerful entity. Bye !!
