George Leo Haydock

Sedge-bush, or flag. Hebrew achu; so called, because from one root many brothers (as it were) spring. Septuagint style it Boutomon , as it was usually “cut for oxen,” Genesis xli. 2. (Parkhurst) (Haydock) — As plants die without suction, so do those who depart from God. (Menochius)
