Re: וְעַל כְּנַף שִׁקּוּצִים in Daniel 9:27c

In two previous posts on the old-format forum, I requested information about the various meanings of words corresponding to כָּנָף ('wing,' 'extremity') in the cognate languages of Hebrew, but so far I have not received a response.

I again request those with knowledge of such languages to kindly provide this information. Unfortunately, I don't have access to the necessary resources to check this. I am especially interested in how גַּף is used in extra-biblical Aramaic--this word is used three times only in the sense of a bird's wing in the book of Daniel.
