Vulpine Lady (here I come)
Vulpine is word of the day.
*2 : foxy, crafty
Of, relating to, or resembling a fox. We need a Danish word for this. Rævet? no. Apart from “Mikkel Ræv” (Michael (the) Fox), Vulpes vulpes is listed as a synonym. And that goes hand in hand with the attached Latin background fact
In Walden (1854), Henry David Thoreau described foxes crying out “raggedly and demoniacally” as they hunted through the winter forest, and he wrote, “Sometimes one came near to my window, attracted by my light, barked a vulpine curse at me, and then retreated.” Thoreau’s was far from the first use of “vulpine”; English writers have been applying that adjective to the foxlike or crafty since the 15th century. Its Latin parent is the adjective “vulpinus,” which itself comes from the noun “vulpes,” meaning “fox.”
