[split] Discussion of f116v interpretations by Anton Alipov

[ThomasCoon]

Actually it's not easy to decide between goat and lamb. For the goat, it lacks horns, and for the lamb, the tail speaks against it. And the depiction is awkward in itself. However, abomasum fits both options well, because both goats and lambs belong to ruminants.

I interpreted the curly lines around the animal's head as horns, but you're right that they don't look like typical goat horns. They could also be ears. It's not easy to decide, as you say.

I'm reading the third and fourth articles you posted, by the way. Will post later today (in American EST time)
