vives

From Old French vives, French avives (compare Spanish abivas), from Arabic ذِئْبَة (ḏiʔba, literally “she-wolf”).

vives (uncountable)

1. (obsolete) A disease of animals, especially horses, based in the glands under the ear, where a tumour is formed which sometimes ends in suppuration.
   • 1816, Richard Lawrence, The complete farrier, and British sportsman, page 245:

     The Vives, like the strangles, is most incident to young horses, and usually proceeds from the same causes, such as catching cold, being over-heated, or over-worked, about the time of shedding their teeth.
