الطَّرَا

Root: طرو

Full Definition

الطَّرَا [without the article طَرًا] What is not of the nature of the earth; or whatever is upon the surface of the earth, of such things as are not of the nature of the earth, consisting of pebbles; or small pebbles; [and the like;] and dust and the like: and, as some say, the sorts of created things whereof the number cannot be reckoned; or any created things whereof the number and the sorts cannot be reckoned. One says, هُمْ أَكْثَرُ مِنَ الطَّرَى وَالثَّرَى [or الطَّرَا والَثَّرَا i. e. They are more in number, or quantity, than the pebbles, &c., and than the moist earth].
