The term 'xilop' is generally used as a noun and is the general term for spiders. Used as a technical term, it strictly refers to members of order Araneae. In normal usage as a fuzzy category, the most prototypical member is a small, web-spinning spider, and the boundaries can be less crisp.

The word 'xilop' is what used to be called an 'Easter egg', or embedded popular culture reference, to J. R. R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings books, where where was a deadly giant spider named Shelob. Xilop is the closest Common rendering of Shelob.
