Bovine
Eschew obfuscation. I was perplexed why we use The word vaccine, which comes from vacca, meaning cow in Latin, when as I erroneously recalled bos is the word for cow in Latin, thus bovine. Faulty memory, bos in Latin is ox in English.

Re: Bovine
We haven't seen bovine as a stand-alone patient here, but we have had related word, boustrophedon, thrice, here in the Agora.
