Uhm... i suggest that you should probably translate |kok| {gallinaceous
fowl} as _rooster_ in English, not as _cock_. Like _ass_ (formerly =
"donkey"), today _cock_ is used almost exclusively to refer to a certain
part of the human body, and _rooster_ has taken over the animal 'male
chicken' meaning.
