rock

rock
(rok) s. m.
Oiseau gigantesque et fabuleux dont parlent les Mille et une Nuits (arabe, rokh).
   L'une d'elles [statues] a une tête d'aigle, et il nous paraît très vraisemblable qu'elle nous offre l'image vulgaire du nesrokh, l'aigle tout-puissant, divinité primordiale de la théogonie assyrienne, le prototype de l'oiseau fabuleux des contes arabes, de cet aigle gigantesque qui a conservé le nom de rock, finale du nom primitif de la divinité oubliée, SAULCY le Musée assyrien du Louvre, dans la Revue des Deux-Mondes, 1847, t. XX, p. 457.
