Actually, if you can find TN #31 in the Technical Notes Stack 3.1, you will
have had to run into an actual dogcow (Clarus) saying !fooM.  Gee, wonder

Sorry to disappoint you here, but dogcows are NOT called Moof.  Moof! is the
sound a dogcow makes.  Make no mistake about it.  Dogcows are called dogcows,
