def.4 [It occurs in the O and K, in art. خوق, as signifying The penis of a horse: perhaps a mistranscription for شِوَار, q. v.: I find it expl. in this sense in Johnson's Pers., Arab., and Engl. Dict.; but he may have taken it from the K.]
def.5 [It is said to signify] also A portion that a beast has left remaining of its fodder: but Kh says, “ I asked ADk, Is it نِشْوَارٌ or مِشْوَارٌ? and he said نِشْوَارٌ, and asserted it to be Pers.: ” it is an arabicized word, originally نِشْخُوَار: (O, K: or, as in the CK, نُشْخوار: [correctly نِشْخْوَارْ or نُشْخْوَارْ:]) one says, نَشْوَرَتِ الدَّابَّةُ نِشْوَارًا.
