Psalms 119:105 NUN. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. [kjv]

ιδ νουν λυχνος τοις ποσιν μου ο λογος σου και φως ταις τριβοις μου [lxx]

… Lámpara … pies … palabra… lumbrera … camino. [es]

The ancient Greek word "τριβούς" ≈ "path" which means, literally, "three cows". It would appear that if three cows could walk through, it was a "path".

The modern Greek word "τρία" (TREE-a) ≈ "three" and comes from the ancient Greek word "τρία" ≈ "three".
The ancient Greek word "βοῦς" ≈ "cow".

Hebrew: נר לרגלי דברך ואור לנתיבתי׃

The PIE (Proto Indo-European) root "GOWS" ≈ "cattle" and is the source of the English word "cow" and could refer to a cow, an ox, a bull, etc.

The Middle English word "cou" ≈ "cow".
The German word "Kuh" ≈ "cow".
The Latin word "bos" ≈ "cow" as a loan word from Sabellic. An English descendant is "bovine".
The Sanskrit word "गो" (go) ≈ "cow".
The Hindi word "गो" (go) ≈ "cow".

The Old English word "Þrimilcemonaþ" ≈ "three-milkings month" which was the Anglo-Saxon word for the month of May, as recorded by Bede (name meaning "prayer") in his work De Temporibus (On Time, about 703). Bede started dating dates from the birth of Christ and that has continued to this day.

Some milk cow jokes could be uttered here, but that might be utter (udder) disaster.
