Hi,
cow, kine from Middle English cu, kyen, cognate with German kuh,
kuehne. People nowadays feel a little sheepish about using the older
plural, perhaps cowed into it by herd pressure. However, it can
help you out in Scrabble.
We put many of our railways in cuttings, and build little bridges so
that livestock can cross from one field to another. Somehow this
particular bovid contrived to fall off the bridge. Perhaps her stocks
and shares weren't doing too well in a bull market.
