Full Definition
قَرْحٌ
and
قُرْحٌ
A wound; the bite of a weapon, and of a similar thing that wounds the body: (L, K: [but in some copies of the K, for عَضُّ السِّلَاحِ وَنَحْوِهِ مِمَّا يَجْرَحُ البَدَنَ , we find عضّ السلاح وَنَحْوُهُ
ممّا يَخْرُجُ بِالبَدَنِ, and the L and TA combine the two readings, the latter whereof gives a second signification, which will be found below:]) i. q.
جُرْحٌ [with which جَرْحٌ is held by many to be syn.]: they are two dial. vars., like ضَعْفٌ and ضُعْفٌ, and جَهْدٌ and جُهْدٌ, and وَجْدٌ and وُجْدٌ; the former of the dial. of El-Hijáz: or the former is an Verbal.Noun and the latter is a simple subst.: or the former signifies as above; and the latter signifies its pain: or the latter seems to bear this latter signification; and the former, to signify wounds themselves: [and the like is said in the L and K:]) [and thus used in a pl. sense, the former is a coll. gen. n.;] and its n. un. is
قَرْحَةٌ ; and pl. قُرُوحٌ: one says, بِهِ قُرْحٌ مِنْ قَرْحٍ
In him is pain from a wound; or from wounds.
2 قَرْحٌ also signifies Pustules, or small swellings, when they have become corrupt; [i. e. purulent pustules; and imposthumes, ulcers, or sores: and so قُرْحٌ accord. to the L and some copies of the K, as shown above; but this seems to be of doubtful authority: قَرْحٌ in this sense is a coll. gen. n.:] its n. un. is قَرْحَةٌ ; and pl. قُرُوحٌ. Imra-el-Keys was called ذُو القُرُوحِ because the King of the Greeks sent to him a poisoned shirt, from the wearing of which his body became affected with purulent pustules, or ulcers, or sores, (تَقَرَّحَ,) and he died: or, as some say, he was called ذُو الفُرُوجٍ, with ف and ج; because he left only daughters.
3 Also, or قُرْحٌ , A severe scab or mange, that destroys young weaned camels; or that attacks young weaned camels, and from which they scarcely ever, or never, recover: so says Lth: Az, however, says that this is a mistake; but that قُرْحَةٌ signifies a certain disease that attacks camels, expl. below.
def.2 See also قَرِيحٌ.
