Easton's Bible Dictionary - Nehiloth

Nehiloth [N] [S]

only in the title of Psalms 5 . It is probably derived from a root meaning "to bore," "perforate," and hence denotes perforated wind instruments of all kinds. The psalm may be thus regarded as addressed to the conductor of the temple choir which played on flutes and such-like instruments.
