Which comes first along evolutionary lines, the hoof or toes? A lot of animals, like cow, and goats have a split hoof, and pigs' are almost more little hooves on the end of toes. I believe horses, who have on solid hoof, have bones that look like toes inside the hoof.
So is all of the process of the hoof splitting apart into toes or the toes coming together into a hoof?

Both plurals are acceptable, like "dwarfs" and "dwarves," "scarfs" and "scarves," or "staffs" and "staves."Hooves? I types hoofs before, neither is being autocorrected. Society has failed me![]()
Yeah, I've seen both and I fault Tolkien for making that happen. Unfortunately, it may more be the weird mash up that English is.Hooves? I types hoofs before, neither is being autocorrected. Society has failed me![]()
