Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia
  1. (n) taha
    An African weaver-bird of the family Ploceidæ, Pyromelana taha (originally Euplectes taha of Sir A. Smith, then Ploceus taha of G. R. Gray). The male is mostly yellow and black, and 4½ inches long; the female is smaller, and quite different in color. This bird is found in the interior of southeastern Africa. Its name appears to be shared by some other weavers, and is applied by some compilers to the rufous-necked weaver, commonly called Hyphantornis textor (G. R. Gray), after Ploceus textor of Vieillot, 1819, though its onym is H. cucullatus, after Oriolus cucullatus of Philipp Ludwig Statius Müller, 1776, as first indicated by John Cassin in 1864.
  2. (n) taha
    [capitalized] A genus of such weaver-birds, not different from Pyromelana.
Chambers's Twentieth Century Dictionary
  1. (n) Taha
    tä′ha an African weaver-bird of the family Ploceidæ.
