名詞

eale f

1. A mythical African beast, based perhaps on the rhinoceros; the yale.
   • c. 77 CE – 79 CE, Pliny the Elder, Naturalis Historia 8.73:

     Apud eōsdem et quae vocātur eale, magnitūdine equī fluviātīlis, caudā elephantī, colōre nigrā vel fulvā, māxillīs aprī, maiōra cubitālibus cornua habēns mobilia quae alterna in pugnā sē sistunt variēque īnfēsta aut oblīqua, utcumque ratiō mōnstrāvit.

     Among the same people there’s also the beast that is called yale, of the size of a hippopotamus, with the tail of an elephant, of black or yellow colour, with the jaws of a boar, having movable horns longer than a cubit which in fight are raised alternatively, either forwards or obliquely, as need be.
