| meaning 2 | (West Country) hedgehog | Wherever there be a gate, or even an apology for one, consisting of a gapway jammed full of a combination of what are mostly called brambles, the near neighbourhood of the same where it opens, or should open, on the field, is always a good place, and one that may well be taken advantage of, more especially if the furze-pig be the bait employed; while a nest of eggs neatly arranged on the top of an adjacent portion of the hedgerow, devoid of bushes, is equally likely to bring the crows into the gins set about for them (1884, Carnegie, William, “Winged Vermin”, in Practical Game Preserving, page 457). For mowdewart and marmot; for furze-pig / and parmaceti; for feline / and anserine; for Lawrence the tod (1982, Pugh, Sheenagh, “I think someone might write an elegy”, in Poetry Wales, volume 17, number 4). |

Reference to hedgehog's pig-like snout. In Slavic tradition see Gura SA 2, 181-182, Gura 1997. According to Ukrainian and Polish belief, there are two types of hedgehogs - one with a pig's snout, the other with a dog's. The first can be eaten, while the second is inedible. In Ukrainian two varieties of hedgehogs are sometimes distinguished lexically: ярич песiй 'dog hedgehog' and ярич свинський 'pig hedgehog' Dzendzelivs'kij 1987, 226). In Lesser Poland (Tarnobrzeg) there was belief that a hedgehog can turn into a pig. The relation between hedgegor with the pig is reflected in Russian пороситься 'to give birth (about a pig, a hedgehog and a badger)' (Dal' 1, 51, SRNG 2, 121)
