Usage notes
editThis word translates ฮธฮทฯฮฏฮฟฮฝ (thฤrรญon), but is only used in an instance where human beings are described pejoratively as "beasts". When describing actual animals in a neutral sense, the word ๐ณ๐น๐ฟ๐ (dius) is used.
Declension
editNo singular forms are attested, but they probably existed.
