    I agree, but it must be a very uncommon word. I never heard of the word "kine" until now.

    Where did you stumble up on this poem? On the web? I'm asking because there may be more such poems in that place.
    Althogh someone told me he didn't like that site, but all the same:

    Thanks, mishau!
    You're right that I didn't like that forum. There were some cogent reasons for it.... Now this forum's getting better but there are still some things that keep me away from this place.

    This forum (masterrussian) is, like you said, the best.

    Just because you haven't heard something doesn't mean it's extremely rare. I'm 19 and have heard it many a time. Maybe you should read more.

    Kine is very rare though.
