It is not only important, but, in a degree necessary, that the people of this country, should have an American Dictionary of the English language; for, although the body of the language is the same as in England, and it is desirable to perpetuate that sameness, yet some differences must exist. Language is the expression of ideas; and if the people of one country cannot preserve an identity of ideas, they cannot retain an identity of language. |
ZEBU, n. A variety of the common ox, with a hump on the shoulders. It is found in the East Indies and resembles the bos Indicus, or Indian ox, but is very small, being sometimes little larger than a dog.
A bovine mammal (Ros
Indicus) extensively domesticated in India, China, the East
Indies, and East Africa. It usually has short horns, large pendulous
ears, slender legs, a large dewlap, and a large, prominent hump over
the shoulders; but these characters vary in different domestic breeds,
which range in size from that of the common ox to that of a large
mastiff.
* Some of the varieties are used as beasts of burden, and some fore for riding, while others are raised for their milk and flesh. The Brahmin bull, regarded as sacred by the Hindoos, also belongs to this species. The male is called also Indian bull, Indian ox, Madras ox, and sacred bull. | ||||||||
