noncow

Where it comes from

From non- + cow.

noun noncows

  1. That which is not a cow. The Buddhist maintains that the genus of cow is nothing but the exclusion of noncows or nonexistence in noncows (anyapoha). Venkatanatha refutes this view. It is wrong, since the universal is apprehended as a positive entity.

adjective

  1. not comparable Not of or pertaining to cows; beef-free. Your local supermarket may not carry coconut milk but you should be able to buy the real, noncow product in cans at a specialty food store or at an oriental grocery store.
