Onageru - Onageru

Japanese: オナーゲル - おなーげる
Onageru - Onageru

...In those days, the onager (an intermediate form between a donkey and a horse, living in a wild state from India to the Near East. It is also called the onager, onager, or Persian donkey) was used for rapid military purposes in this region. Although it was a wild animal, it was captured, trained, and used. Even before the widespread use of riding horses, donkeys were content to be used as livestock for transport and drawing by the common people, giving way to the onager. As the Hittites' use of horses spread, the status of donkeys further declined, and they were relegated to the position of livestock for transport by the common people, and they appeared less and less in the spotlight.
