cow
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common, feminine singular absolute. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun denotes a singular female of the bovine species, derived from the root פרה conveying fruitfulness and bearing young. "Cow" preserves the feminine singular form and reflects the general sense of a mature female bovine without narrowing it unnecessarily to a young heifer. |
