alaunts

n. (plural of alaunt English)

Usage examples of "alaunts".

There were half a dozen black and white alaunts, which looked like greyhounds with the heads of bull-terriers or worse.

The alaunts were uncoupled as the exciting notes of the menee began to ring through the forest, and then the whole scene began to move.

The noise grew to a crescendo of excitement as the blood-thirsty thunder of the alaunts pealed through the lesser notes.

As it charged, the alaunts closed in, seizing it fiercely by shoulder or throat or leg, so that what surged down on the huntsman was not one boar but a bundle of animals.

Three of them, lean as alaunts in parti-colored dress, tumbled into the space before the dais, juggling noisy tambours as they went.
