cal f or (nonstandard) m (plural cales or cais)
Although common, usage of "cal" as a masculine gender noun is proscribed.
Inherited from Late Latin caballus (“horse”), from Latin caballus (“pack horse”), probably of Gaulish [Term?] origin or from something further east, such as a Scythian and ultimately Proto-Iranian [Term?] origin.[1] The Romanian word likely went through an earlier hypothetical form *căal or *caual.[2] Compare Aromanian cal.
