Anagrams
Catalan
Etymology 1
From Latin can-, stem of canis.
Noun
Ca m. (plural cans)
Notes
- This term is used in Catalonia or Valencia only in stock phrases, with gos (feminine gossa) being the term generally used for a dog.
- In the Balearics, ca has retained its use as the primary word for a dog. However, instead of a feminine of ca, *cana, being used for a female dog, in the Balearics, cussa, the feminine of cus (“little dog”) is used.
- Note also that those breeds of dogs that originated in the Balearics use ca and not gos to form name of the breed.
Synonyms
- gos (“dog”) m.
Hyponyms
- (Balearics) cus (“little dog”) m., (Balearics) cussa (“female dog”) f.
