   grey-scale
  
      (US "gray-scale") 1. Composed of (discrete) shades
      of grey.   If the {pixels} of a grey-scale {image} have N
      {bit}s, they may take values from zero, representing black up
      to 2^N-1, representing white with intermediate values
      representing increasingly light shades of grey.   If N=1 the
      image is not called grey-scale but could be called
      {monochrome}.
  
      2. A range of acurately known shades of grey printed out for
      use in calibrating those shades on a display or printer.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Gier eagle
      Heb. raham = "parental affection," Lev. 11:18; Deut. 14:17;
      R.V., "vulture"), a species of vulture living entirely on
      carrion. "It is about the size of a raven; has an almost
      triangular, bald, and wrinkled head, a strong pointed beak,
      black at the tip, large eyes and ears, the latter entirely on
      the outside, and long feet." It is common in Egypt, where it is
      popularly called "Pharaoh's chicken" (the Neophron
      percnopterus), and is found in Palestine only during summer.
      Tristram thinks that the Hebrew name, which is derived from a
      root meaning "to love," is given to it from the fact that the
      male and female bird never part company.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Grizzled
      party-coloured, as goats (Gen. 31:10, 12), horses (Zech. 6:3,
      6).
