カブ

noun

cub; young animal

A katakana rendering corresponding to English 'cub', especially in contexts involving English labels, names, or explanations. In ordinary Japanese, a specific native-style expression such as 子グマ or 子ライオン is often clearer.

• 動どう物ぶつ園えんの英えい語ご表ひょう示じでは、子こグマの横よこに「カブ」と書かかれていた。

  On the zoo's English sign, 'cub' was written next to the bear cub.
