They belong to the family Bovidae (I am not including the pronghorn antelope, which is not an antelope despite the name) but several subfamilies. Bovidae also include lo kanba e lo bakni e lo lanme, so it's not obvious what gismu to base a type-3 fu'ivla on. {antilope} is a valid type-4, but I'm not sure it's wise to have a word for "antelope" since it doesn't correspond to anything taxonomic. phma
