(gcide) | Grunt \Grunt\ (gr[u^]nt), v. t. [imp. & p. p. Grunted; p. pr.

grunzen, Dan. grynte, Sw. grymta; all prob. of imitative; or
perh. akin to E. groan.]
To make a deep, short noise, as a hog; to utter a short groan
or a deep guttural sound.

To grunt and sweat under a weary life. --Shak.

Grunting ox
(gcide) | Ox \Ox\ ([o^]ks), n.; pl. Oxen. [AS. oxa; akin to D. os. G.
ochs, ochse, OHG. ohso, Icel. oxi, Sw. & Dan. oxe, Goth.
a['u]hsa, Skr. ukshan ox, bull; cf. Skr. uksh to sprinkle.
[root]214. Cf. Humid, Aurochs.] (Zool.)
The male of bovine quadrupeds, especially the domestic animal
when castrated and grown to its full size, or nearly so. The
word is also applied, as a general name, to any species of
bovine animals, male and female.
[1913 Webster]
All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field.
--Ps. viii. 7.
[1913 Webster]
Note: The castrated male is called a steer until it attains
its full growth, and then, an ox; but if castrated
somewhat late in life, it is called a stag. The male,
not castrated, is called a bull. These distinctions are
well established in regard to domestic animals of this
genus. When wild animals of this kind are spoken of, ox
is often applied both to the male and the female. The
name ox is never applied to the individual cow, or
female, of the domestic kind. Oxen may comprehend both
the male and the female.
