What are the various meanings of כָּנָף ('wing,' 'extremity' in the OT as per BDB) in extra-biblical Hebrew literature, including rabbinic writings? Please be as exhaustive as possible.

Have you checked Jastrow? "to bend, cover" "border, lap" "cover" (pl.):"hands, arms; shoulders, forelegs" "curved attachments, handles"
