I liked finding out that buos was the actual word for ox. It helps make sense of boustrophedon, as the ox plows. I teach typography, and boustrophedic is how we describe the way ancient scripts were written in times before most cultures decided on a regular way to put down words on paper (such as we do, from left to right, and then down to the next line, and then from left to right again). Many cultures wrote in boustrophedic fashion.
