coney

Biblical rock dweller

Coney is an older word for rabbit, now rarely used except in certain fixed expressions and place names like Coney Island.

The word also refers to rabbit fur, especially when used in clothing.

In biblical translations, coney sometimes appears for the hyrax, a small mammal of the Middle East.

The spelling cony is a variant.
