Definition
The Greek word for a female fox or a feminine form referring to foxes.
Etymology
Direct from ancient Greek 'alopeke,' the feminine form of 'alopex.' This gendered language was typical in Greek, where animals and objects had masculine and feminine versions.
Kelly Says
Ancient Greek assigned genders to animals in their vocabulary—a 'she-fox' was linguistically different from any fox. This reveals how people thousands of years ago thought about nature and categorization.
