| Oct 12, 2018 at 16:40 | comment | added | Arioch | In general, animals that took part in peasant's life tend to default on female gender (кошка, собака and even pests like мышь, крыса), and wild animals tend to default on male gender (волк, медведь, кабан). It is not always so (лиса is feminine word, for example), but more often than not. Basically for peasants knowing gender of their domestic animals was really important. You can get milk from a cow but not from a bull, you know :-) | |

This is done in order not to distract non-castrated male horses. | |
| Oct 12, 2018 at 14:47 | comment | added | Баян Купи-ка | the tendency seems to be that the use of лошадь is connected with exploitation of horses as a labor force, and of конь with sports and military | |
