^a Gk. χοιρογρύλλιον.

^b Hyraxes, like hares and rabbits, mimic the chewing behavior of ruminants and pseudoruminants, making it look like they chew cud (their madibular motions are similar to chewing cud, but the hyrax is physically incapable of regurgitation). The point again is not that they do "chew the cud," but that chewing the cud alone is not enough to qualify as clean. So even if they do appear to chew the cud, they're unclean because they are not cloven hoofed. (Unlike hares and rabbits, hyraxes do not redigest their food, neither cud nor cecotrope.)
