Reply to comment by ajenni1120 in Did sheep fur always just endlessly grow or was that something that was selectively bred? Were they originally naturally adapted to be going through a lot of foliage and thickets and stuff that would keep their coat relatively trimmed? by EuroTraschBozos
Ignoring the fact that soay sounds almost like the Norwegian word for sleep, sau, soay also sounds like what you would call a female sheep, "søye".

which is also funnily close to the dutch word for boring, "saai", which in flemish dialects is pronounced pretty similar to "soay".
