[arch] hoofed [IW]

(med) bshul chags kyi gras, Perissodactyla animals (Phrin Las 1987).
The group of 'odd-toed' ungulates includes horses, rhinos and tapirs. Does the tibetan term include all hoofed animals (Perissodactyles and Artiodactyles) or only the 'odd-toed' ones ? In any case, in the continuation of the thangka images come the Perissodactyles 'horse', 'kiang', 'ass' and 'mule'. Johannes Schmidt (talk) 17:03, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
