That would be so much easier to spin if the F replaced an S. Accio
Buffalo instead of Accio Bussalo, with only the need to figure out
what Bussalo is.
The thing that landed on his chest might have been a Water Buffalo
(Bubalus bubalis) or an American Bison (Bison bison). but both are in
the cow family, Bovidae, from Latin word for 'cow', Bos. Maybe he said
Accio Bos when he meant Accio Bof. Maybe it's more closely related to
levitating a feather with Wingardium Leviosa -- he meant to levitate a
toad with Bufium Leviosa but instead said Busium Leviosa (of which I
would never have thought if not for some long-ago post explaining why
'wingardium' is Wizardish for 'feather'.)
