Full Definition
أَحْنَكُ
in the saying هٰذَا البَعِيرُ أَحْنَكُ
الإِبِلِ
This camel is the most voracious of the camels, or in the phrase أَحْنَكُ البَعِيرَيْنِ
the more voracious of the two camels, and أَحْنَكُ الشَّاتَيْنِ
the more voracious of the two sheep or goats, is anomalous, because one does not [regularly] use a word of this kind denoting a natural attribute: and it has no verb; like أَبْرَحُ. (L in art. برح.)
