Thai stuff - Word of the day and the Fourth letter of the alphabet

Why isn't there a letter for our dear friend, the cow?

- Kor Kwai
ควาย
Kwai - Buffalo


Kor Kwai is a Low class consonant and has a mid tone for Kor and a mid tone for Kwai.

It can be considered sacraligeous to eat buffalo meat due to the working nature of this gentle giant. Buffalo are still used to help plow fields of rice. They do seem gentle but I don't think I would want to find myself between a buffalo and a hard place.
