I've been trying to think of a context in which you would say Í have a shoe', and I am stumped.

Eĉ homo kun ligna kruro bezonus paron da ŝuoj.

But it's easy:

- what do you have out there?
- I have a shoe, why do you ask?
- ...

benjordan:Why Unukornulo?

He picked apart the word, and wonders why do you use "ul" instead of "cxevalo."
Indeed. It sounds also strange to me. Can't think of any other case where the suffix "-ulo" is used for an animal (even if it is just imaginary).

Look up the Esperanto translation of 'rodent'- nagetier in German - you will find ronĝ-ulo

Actually -UL is sometimes (though rarely) used for certain animals, as well as some inanimate objects. PMEG has examples.

I would say "unikorno" myself though, for a unicorn.

animals -ulo:
abelmanĝulo
akarulo
amebulo
araneulo
arbogrimulo
birdbekulo
blugorĝulo
bluvostulo
brakpiedulo
brankulo
dentoskrapulo
dikhaŭtulo
muŝkaptulo
... and many, many more...

Mamulo (a mammal) is probably the most common animal word with -ul.

What's the Esperanto word for a mane? It doesn't appear to be in the Lernu dictionary.

hebda999 (عرض الملف الشخصي) 23 فبراير، 2012 7:13:46 ص

mane = kolhararo (hair on horse neck)
mane = forĝista martelo (a tool)

Hmm I'm stumped between unikorno and unikornulo... The first sounds less like an animal but it's what it is literally called. Also, while we're on the topic of unicorns and cxevalo... They aren't horses. They're not horses with a horn glued on either... They have different tails (lion), different hooves (goat), a beard (goat))... It's saddening what a modern unicorn is. Nothing like a mythical creature. It'd be like putting wings on a komodo and claiming it's a faithful representation of a classic dragon. Where's the horns, fire and huge size and treasures? The same place the unicorn's features went...

Anyways, I find it interesting that ul is used with it... I've never noticed how it tends to be associated with people.
