As indicated above, in the Hebrew horns is plural form with definite article,
unicorns is singular form, no article.
The word qarney is not in the plural but in the dual. The plural of qeren is
qarnot. Compare also yad, yadayim, yadot. The word re'em is probably
"wild ox" and a singular "wild ox" fits perfectly as a parallel to "bullock."
