* the wild goat.
The word {akko,} according to the LXX. and Vulgate, signifies
the {tragelephus,} or goat-deer; so called from its
resemblance to both species. Dr. Shaw states that an animal
of this kind is found in the East, where it is called
{fisht(966c)l,} and {lerwee.}
pygarg. or, bison. Heb. dishon.
The {pygarg,} [pygargos,] or white-buttocks, according to the
LXX.; and Dr. Shaw states that the {li(836d)ee,} as the Africans
call it, is exactly such an animal; being of the same shape
and colour as the antelope, and of the size of a roebuck.
* the wild ox.
{Theo,} probably the {oryx} of the Greeks, a species of large
stag; and the {Bekkar el wash} of Dr. Shaw.
