Ye konnen thereon as much as any man.
Chaucer.
Ko"nite (?), n. (Min.) See Conite.
Konze (?), n. (Zoöl.) A large African antelope (Alcelaphus
Lichtensteini), allied to the hartbeest, but having shorter and flatter
horns, and lacking a black patch on the face.
Koo"doo (?), n. (Zoöl.) A large South African antelope (Strepsiceros
kudu). The males have graceful spiral horns, sometimes four feet long.
The general color is reddish or grayish brown, with eight or nine white
bands on each side, and a pale dorsal stripe. The old males become dark
bluish gray, due to the skin showing through the hair. The females are
hornless. Called also nellut. [Written also kudu.]
