 Ne·hi·loth n. pl.  Script. A term supposed to mean, perforated wind instruments of music, as pipes or flutes.
 

From: 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.
