a man as soon as a boar for she has not such tusks 

 as the boar, but sometimes they do much harm

 they go to their pasture, all day and when they 

 return they sharpen their tusks and cut against 

 trees when they rub themselves on coming from 

 the soil. What men call a trif of tame swine is
