Full Definition
شُرْشُورٌ
A certain bird, of small size; said by As to be thus called by the people of El- Hijáz; and by the Arabs of the desert,
بَرْقَش [a mistranscription for بِرْقِش]: it is said to be dustcoloured; in elegance, like the
حُمَّرَة; and to be a little larger than the
عُصْفُور [or sparrow]. [Freytag, on the authority of Dmr, says that it is the same as is called
ابو براقش: (but see بِرْقِشٌ:) and describes it as being of an ashy colour, with some mixture of redness; and of the passerine kind.]
