Root: خبر

Full Definition

خَبْرٌ : see خُبْرٌ.

def.2 Also Trees of the kind called سِدْر [or lote-trees], and أَرَاك, with abundant herbage around them; as also خَبِرٌ : [both coll. gen. ns.:] ns. un. خَبْرَةٌ and خَبِرَةٌ.
2 Seed-produce.
3 A place where water rests, or stagnates, in a mountain: a place where water has fallen, such as the water-course has furrowed (خَبَّرَ [perhaps a mistranscription for خَبَرَ]) in the summits (رُؤُوس) [of mountains], and through which one wades.

def.3 A large [leathern water-bag of the kind called] مَزَادَة [q. v.]; as also خَبْرَآءُ and خِبْرٌ : but this last is disallowed, in the sense above-explained, by AHeyth; and others say that the first word is better: pl. of the first خُبُورٌ.
