CROW, n. G., L.

1. A large black fowl, of the genus Corvus the beak is convex and cultrated, the nostrils are covered with bristly feathers, the tongue is forked and cartilaginous. This is a voracious fowl, feeding on carrion and grain, particularly maiz, which it pulls up, just after it appears above ground.

To pluck or pull a crow, is to be industrious or contentious about a trifle, or thing of no value.

2. A bar of iron with a beak, crook or two claws, used in raising and moving heavy weights.

3. The voice of the cock. See the Verb.

CROW, pret. and pp. crowed formerly, pret. crew. Gr. See the Noun.

1. To cry or make a noise as a cock, in joy, gaiety or defiance.

2. To boast in triumph to vaunt to vapor to swagger. A popular, but not an elegant use of the word.
