User blog comment:Eðkee/Anglish word for vulture./@comment-1045231-20180503172443

Tearbird, maybe? Roughly a calque from Latin. There seems to be a Theedish word beginning with G that may not have made it into English or went (changed) meaning. "earngeat" and some alike words (e.g. "earngeap") may have meant vulture in Old English - Maybe it would become earngate or earngape?
