12 manko
Crippled, as an animal with an injured forefoot. The DRAE indicates that it describes a person who has lost an arm or a hand or an animal that has lost a forefoot. It also refers to an animal or person that has lost the use of one of these members. Santamaría glosses it as a four-legged animal that limps because of an impaired forefoot, even if the injury is temporary and the animal has not lost complete use of the member. In the movies, a manco horse was frequently put out of its misery by a shot heard but not seen. In real life, depending on the seriousness of the injury, the horse might be nursed back to health, particularly if the outfit was short on working mounts. -
