French word for male pig?

There is no 3-letter French word for a female pig. The female pig is "la truie", sometimes called "une coche" (term used mainly among pig breeders); "une laie" is a female boar. The English term "sow", meaning female pig, comes from a Latin word for pig, through old French and Burgundian dialect. The French related word is "soue", a rarely used term meaning a pigsty.
