calved
Bore young bovine
Calved is the past tense of calve.
A cow or other bovine calves when it gives birth: The heifer calved in early spring.
Glaciers and icebergs also calve when large chunks break off and fall into the water: We watched the glacier calve into the sea.
Both senses involve something massive producing a smaller version of itself.
