yonnie

/ ˈjɒnɪ /

noun

Origin of yonnie¹

from a native Australian language

Yonnie, the Ayrshire bull, tossed his head and sat as the rope tightened on his noseband.

Accepting fate, Yonnie scrambled up and plodded after the wagon.

I had been dreaming all the time of how much I should have liked to hold that little flaxen-haired "Yonnie" in my arms.

He immediately returned, took up "Yonnie," and brought her out into the circle on his arm.
