Definition: a hole, typically occupied by an animal as a den or lair

Notes: In most languages it is important to make a distinction between φωλεός as in OET LUK 9:58 and ὀπή ‘hole’ (1.53: ὀπή), for φωλεός is normally some type of hole serving as a typical habitation or place of escape for an animal, while ὀπή in OET HEB 11:38 would not be a place of normal habitation.
