JENNET

This article appears in Volume V15, Page 321 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: JEE-JUN
JENNET , a small Spanish
horse
 ; the word is sometimes applied in
English
  to a mule, the offspring of a she-ass and a stallion. Jennet comes, through Fr.
genet
 , from Span. jinete, a
light
  horseman who rides d la gineta, explained as " with his legs tucked up." The name is taken to be a corruption of the Arabic
Zenata
 , a Berber tribe famed for its cavalry.
English
  and
French
  transferred the word from the rider to his
horse
 , a meaning which the word has only acquired in
Spain
  in
modern
  times.
