Full Definition
دُرْجَةٌ
A thing which is rolled up, and inserted into a she-camel's vulva, and then [taken forth, whereupon] she smells it, and, thinking it to be her young one, inclines to it [and yields her milk]: or, accord. to Aboo-Ziyád El-Kilá- bee, a thing consisting of rags, or of tow and rags and other things, which is rolled up, and stuffed into a she-camel's vulva, and into her tuel, and bound, when they desire her to incline to the young one of another, having first bound her nose and her eyes: they leave her thus, with her eyes and nose bound, for some days, and she in consequence suffers distress like that occasioned by labour: then they loose the bandage [of her vulva] from her, and this thing comes forth from her, and she thinks it to be a young one; and when she has dropped it, they unbind her eyes, having prepared for her a young camel, which they bring near to her, and she thinks it to be her own young one, and inclines to it: or with the thing that comes forth from her they besmear the young one of another she-camel, and she thinks it to be her own young one, and inclines to it: the thing thus rolled up is called دُرْجَةٌ and جَزْمٌ and وَثِيقَةٌ; and the thing with which her eyes are bound, غِمَامَةٌ; and that with which her nose is bound, صِقَاعٌ: the pl. [of mult.] is دُرَجٌ and [of pauc.] أَدْرَاجٌ: or it signifies [or signifies also] a piece of rag containing medicine, which is put into a she-camel's vulva when she has a complaint thereof: pl. دُرَجٌ.
