Or, rather, "on, or among the reeds or sedges;" for so
{achoo} is generally supposed to denote (see Job 8:11); so
called, according to Mr. Parkhurst, from its fitness for
making ropes, or the like, to connect or join things
together, from {achah,} to join, connect: thus the Latin
{juncus,} a bulrush, {a jungendo,} from joining, for the same
reason. He supposes it to be that sort of reed growing near
the Nile which Hasselquist describes as "having scarce any
branches, but numerous leaves, which are narrow, smooth,
channelled on the upper surface, and the plant about eleven
feet high. The Egyptians make ropes of the leaves."
