"Gibor" means "hero" only in Ivrit, not in LHK.  "Giboraya" is Unkelus's 
translation of "Nefilim".   Where he uses it for "Anak" he's not being 
completely literal, because Anak was one specific Nefil/Gibor.  When it 
comes to "benei Anak min hanefilim" he translates it "benei Anak min 
Giboraya"; does Davis bold that one too?
