3 Coarse sand: or what is مُتَرَقْرِق, probably, [says SM,] a mistake for مَدْقُوق [broken into small particles], agreeably with an explanation of حُثٌّ in the L, for, as to مترقرق, [he adds,] I have not found it in any book, of sand, and of earth, or dust: or what is dry, or firm, or hard, and coarse, of sand.
