Hoofed
/huːft/noun
Having hooves; equipped with a hoof or hooves.
Did you know?English hoof comes from Old English hōf, and its deeper Germanic relatives are linked to the same ancient root that gave Latin cōpula-like notions of a “hoof” as a hard, protective foot-surface rather than a magical term.
