Etymology 1
From Middle English sheep, scheep, schep, schepe, from Old English s??ap, from Proto-West Germanic *sk?p, from Proto-Germanic *sk?p? (compare West Frisian skiep, North Frisian schäip, Dutch schaap, German Schaf), beside *keppô (compare Old Norse kjappi (“buck”), dialectal German Kippe (“newborn calf”)), of unknown origin. Perhaps from the same Scythian word (compare Ossetian ??? (cæw, “goat”), Persian ???? (?apiš, “yearling goat”)) which was borrowed into Albanian as cjap, sqap (“buck”) and into Slavic (compare Polish cap). After Kroonen, *sk?p? is instead from the root of Proto-Germanic *skaban? (“to scratch”) via Kluge's law.

urial
English
Wikispecies
Alternative forms
- oorial
Noun
urial (plural urials)
- A bearded reddish sheep, subspecies of Ovis orientalis (including Ovis orientalis vignei), previously classified as Ovis vignei, being endemic to southern Asia and believed to be a wild ancestor of domestic sheep.
- 1990, A. Ghosh (editor), Animals, Domestication of, article in An Encyclopaedia of Indian Archaeology, page 3,
- All domesticated sheep are descended from the moufflon, urial or argali. They are closely related to each other and connected by intermediate breeds. Most wool sheep are believed to have been derived from urial stock, while hair sheep are traced back to the moufflon.
- 2011, Colin Groves, Peter Grubb, Ungulate Taxonomy, page 237,
- O. severtzovi has been shuffled back and forth between the urial and the argali groups.
- 2011, John P. Rafferty, Grazers, Britannica Educational Publishing, page 136,
- Most urials live in open habitats, with few or no trees, but there are indications that this may be a recent adaptation to changing environmental conditions and that the urial was originally more of a woodland animal than at present.

Usage notes
Taxonomic classification of sheep species/subspecies remains incompletely decided.
The urial and the related mouflon are regarded as different subspecies groups of Ovis orientalis, but in the past have been classified as separate species. See Urial on Wikipedia.Wikipedia
