         DefinitionShort: large domesticated solid-hoofed quadruped; Equus caballus; stockily built in comparison to today’s horses, with shorter heads and thicker necks; about 122–142 cm tall, and 2.1 m long; coat varies from dark to pale brown; eats plants; used in battle, both to ride and for pulling chariots; symbolic of military might; associated with the sun, which was said to ride across the sky in a chariot

         Glosses: horse

         Comments: Since horses are widely distributed in the world (at least knowledge about them is widespread), it is rarely difficult to obtain a satisfactory term. In some instances, however, expressions designating horses may seem rather strange. For example, in Sediq, a language spoken in Taiwan, a horse is literally ‘a soldier’s cow.’
