What is the definition of "S'lav"?

1.

Rashi: It is a fat bird called 'a quail'.

2)

Why is "S'lav" written with a 'Siyn' and not with a 'Shiyn'?

1.

Yoma, 75b: Because on the one hand, for the Resha'im, it felt like a pipe (Silon) in their throats, the Tzadikim ate it in tranquility (be'Shalvah). 1

See Torah Temimah, citing the Mechilta - which has a different version of the answer.

3)

How will we reconcile this Pasuk, which writes that a layer of due fell on top of the Manna, with the Pasuk in The desert (11:9), which describes how the Manna fell on to a layer of dew?

1.

Rashi: In fact, the Manna lay between two layers of dew, as if it was in a box, thereby keeping it fresh.
