qunajin
/qunadʒin/
Definition
heifer or filly in its third year, a young female of the herd not yet fully grown — Elbrusoid row 14031 writes редко only on its second reading, the three-year-old filly; the cow reading carries no label, so the merged sense is left unmarked. Nevruz glosses it as a two-year-old heifer, a year younger than the Russian side gives.
- qunajin iynek satıldı — the three-year-old heifer was sold
- qunajinni sürüwge qoşdula — they put the heifer in with the herd
- qunajinni satarğa izleydi — he wants to sell the heifer

The overlap in the last rows is real, not a mistake: qunajinleri can mean "his / her heifers", "their heifer", or "their heifers" — context decides.
