βοίδης 1002 K. Eust. 962.18 ὅτι καὶ εἰς ἀναισθησίας σκῶμμα λαμβάνεται ὁ βοῦς, δηλοῖ καὶ ὁ παρὰ Μενάνδρῳ βοίδης, ὅ ἐστι πρᾷος, εὐηθής, καθ᾽ ὁμοιότητα τοῦ ἀμνοκῶν. No examples found.
βορβορώδης 25 K. Hipp. Aph. 1260 B Foes.; Progn. 43.39. Plat. Phaed. 111 E. Arist. H. A. 5.15.547 b 16, 20. Theophr. H. P. 9.2.3. Strab. 12.8.19; 17.1.7. Aretae. p. 129.4 Erm.

βουκόρυζα 1003 K. Suid. βουκόρυζαν τὴν μεγάλην κόρυζαν. Cf. Hesych. βουκόρυζος· ἀναίσθετος, ἀσύνετος. See Eust. 962.15. The prefix βου- is "often used to express something huge and monstrous" L. and S. E. g. βουλιμιᾷ Ar. Pl. 873; βούπαις Ar. Vesp. 1206. Liddell and Scott's lexicon contains 13 such compounds; 20 if we include derivatives of βούλιμος. Their use in classical times is apparently limited to comedy.
βουληφόρως 123 K. A very common word in Homer. In every other instance cited there is a quotation from, or at least a reference to, the Homeric poems. Homer's ἀγοραὶ βουληφόροι seems to have been a familiar quotation. I am inclined to see an echo of it here, and to regard the passage as ironical. The title of the play, "The slave who twice deceives his master", seems to favor this interpretation. Il. 1.44, al.; Od. 9.112. Pind. O. 12.5. Plat. Legg. 680 B. Strab. 13.1.25.
