Paw
po (, kaph, literally, palm, , yadh, literally, hand): The former (kaph) is applied to the soft paws of animals in contradistinction to the hoofs (Lev 11:27); the latter is thrice used in 1Sa 17:37 : Yahweh that delivered me out of the paw (yadh) of the lion, and out of the paw (yadh) of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand (yadh) of this Philistine. The verb to paw (, haphar) is found in the description of the horse: He paweth (margin they paw) in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength: he goeth out to meet the armed men (margin, the weapons) (Job 39:21). The word is usually translated to delve into, to pry into, to explore.
