-=====oyop semim=====
-This phrase appears in Genesis 1 phase 5, then again in Genesis 2:19-20. It seems to be a portmanteau made be combining [[oyop]] and [[semim]], which refers to a specific type of creature.
-Consider the meanings inherent in those two words. The [[semim]] are a group of legendary individuals or perhaps a "prototypical people". [[Oyop]] typically refers to birds. The phrase here then seems to indicate some kind of "legendary bird-men", or "prototypical bird-men". Abstracting the characteristic of birds as flying things, we could derive famous or prototypical flying people. Thus, the implication of 'oyop shemim' appears to be that there were real or imagined flying men in the time before the ancient Hebrew period.
