A variant or dialectal spelling of an old word for tail or queue.
From Old French 'coe' or 'queue' meaning tail, possibly influenced by Latin 'cauda.' The spelling varies across Middle English texts.
The word 'queue' (line of people) and 'cue' (stick for billiards) both come from 'coue'—same origin, wildly different modern meanings!
