- דַּיָּג (dayâg, H1771) דַּיָּג is the direct Hebrew equivalent of ἁλιεύς (halieús, G231) ἁλιεύς, both denoting one who catches fish as an occupation; the Greek term's additional nautical nuance (sailor on salt water) reflects Mediterranean context but does not alter the core fisher semantics shared across both languages.
