{{short description|Type of whip}} {{refimprove|date=June 2020}} {{corporal punishment}} A '''knout''' {{IPAc-en|ห|n|aส|t}} ({{langx|ru|ะบะฝัั}}, {{IPA|ru|knut}}) is a Russian [[whip]] that consists of a [[rawhide (material)|rawhide]] thong or a rope attached to a long wooden handle. Commonly used for prodding horses or cattle, knouts were also used for [[flagellation]] as a [[corporal punishment]] in Russian history. The English word is a spelling-pronunciation of a French transliteration of the Russian word ะบะฝัั (''knut''), which means "whip".
