cherubin
Winged celestial infant
Cherubin is an archaic or poetic plural of cherub, referring to angelic beings.
The word appears in older translations of the Bible and in literary contexts: The cherubin stood guard at the gate of Eden.
Modern usage strongly favors cherubim as the plural, making cherubin rare outside historical or deliberately archaic writing.
