Found this article by Rabbi David Wolpe. He's the guy who appears in History Channel specials like Mysteries of the Bible sometimes.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teraphim

I'm not sure about the quality of Wikipedia, but at least it's something.

I wonder if the tera- prefix is a reference to the number of wings they had? Some angels are described in terms of numbers of eyes and wings...

Hope it helps.  Smiley
