nehiloth - Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary :

  Nehiloth
  only in the title of Ps. 5. It is probably derived from a root
  meaning "to bore," "perforate," and hence denotes perforated
  wind instruments of all kinds. The psalm may be thus regarded as
  addressed to the conductor of the temple choir which played on
  flutes and such-like instruments.
