Animal whose name, when capitalized, is a major West African language (3)

I believe the answer is:

ewe

(Other definitions for ewe that I've seen before include "Sheep found in sewer" , "She'll provide material to knit" , "One needing pastoral care" , "Ruminant" , "21a [SHEEP]" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
