besto (accusative singular beston, plural bestoj, accusative plural bestojn)
Usage notes[edit]
Since the very beginning of Esperanto, besto has meant any member of the animal kingdom, including humans. However, because many Esperanto speakers interpret it as meaning "non-human animal", animalo was coined to explicitly mean any animal including humans.
