donkeyish
Like a braying beast
Donkeyish means resembling or characteristic of a donkey—stubborn, slow, or obstinate.
The word carries a mildly insulting tone when applied to people: His donkeyish refusal to compromise frustrated everyone.
Like the animal's reputation, it suggests plodding dimness rather than active malice.
