sorkka- ja kavioeläin
Finnish
editNoun
editUsage notes
editUngulates used to be called kavioeläimet in zoology, and the perissodactyls were called varsinaiset kavioeläimet (“true ungulates”). This caused confusion as in common Finnish the word kavio refers strictly to a single-toed hoof and the word sorkka to an even-toed hoof. In regulation sorkka- ja kavioeläin is used as equivalent to "ungulate".
