Full Definition
ذُبَحٌ
A certain plant which ostriches eat: this word and
ذِبَحٌ signify the plant called
الجَزَرُ
البَّرىُّ, which is of a red colour: and, accord. to the K, another plant: but correctly a red plant (نَبْتٌ أَحْمَرُ, not نبت آخَرُ,) having a stem, or root, (أَصْلٌ) from which is peeled off a black peel, whereupon there is taken forth a white substance, resembling a white
خزرة [or bead, but perhaps this is a mistranscription for جَزَرَة, i. e. a carrot], which is sweet and good, and is eaten: [each word is a coll. gen. n.;] and the n. un. is ذُبَحَةٌ and ذِبَحَةٌ: so says AHn, on the authority of Fr: and he says also, on the authority of AA, that the ذُبَحَة is a tree that grows upon a stem, and in a manner resembling the
كراث [app. كَرَاث, not كُرَّاث], and then has a yellow flower; its root is like a
جزرة [i. e. جَزَرَة, or carrot], and it is sweet, and of a red colour: or the ذُبَح is a plant having a stem, or root, (أَصْلٌ,) which is peeled, and there comes forth what resembles the
جِزر [i. e. جِزَر or جَزَر, meaning carrot]; and a black skin is peeled from it; and it is sweet, and is eaten; and has a red flower.
2 Also, and ذِبَحٌ , the former the more common, A species of the كَمْأَةٌ [or truffle], of a white colour.
