boar - Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary :

  Boar
  occurs only in Ps. 80:13. The same Hebrew word is elsewhere
  rendered "swine" (Lev. 11:7; Deut. 14:8; Prov. 11:22; Isa. 65:4;
  66:3, 17). The Hebrews abhorred swine's flesh, and accordingly
  none of these animals were reared, except in the district beyond
  the Sea of Galilee. In the psalm quoted above the powers that
  destroyed the Jewish nation are compared to wild boars and wild
  beasts of the field.

  borough, or all the managers or directors of any institution; as, the board 
  of aldermen; the board of directors of the Bank of North America. The 
  majority of the board have in general the power to perform the acts of the 
  whole board, but sometimes they are restrained by their charters, and it
