Who this is
Not a person but a Hebrew musical or poetic term found in the title of Psalm 7, and in its plural form, shigionoth, in Habakkuk 3:1, likely describing an irregular, emotionally intense style of composition, possibly connected to a root meaning "to wander" or "to reel." Its precise musical meaning is uncertain, since no other ancient source explains the term.
