مُغْثُورٌ; [A kind of manna;] a produce of the [species of tree, or shrub, called] رِمْث
and sometimes of the
عُشَر
and the
عُرْفُط
and the
ثُمَام
and the
سَلَم

&c.; the gum of the
رمث
and
عرفط; the gum that is found upon the
رمث, which is sweet, and is eaten; a thing that flows, or exudes, from the ends of the twigs of the
رمث, resembling
دِبْس
in its colour; (ISh, in explanation of the pl. مَغَافِيرُ;) a gum that flows, or exudes, from the
عرفط, not of pleasant odour; a gum resembling [the kind of sweetmeat called] نَاطِف, exuded by the
عرفط, which is put into a piece of cloth, then sprinkled with water, and drunk: accord. to Lth, مِغْفَارٌ is applied to the gum of the
إِجَّاصَة: and some say that
مِغْفَرٌ is applied to gum of a round shape;
صُعْرُورٌ to that which is in shape like a finger; and ذَوْبٌ to that which flows upon the ground: and
مِغْفَرٌ is also applied to a twig of a gum-tree, from which [for بِهِ , in the TA, I read مِنْهُ,] is wiped a white fluid, whereof is made a sweet beverage: pl. [of مُغْفُورٌ and مِغْفَارٌ and مِغْفِيرٌ] مَغَافِيرُ, and [of مِغْفَرٌ and مُغْفُرٌ] مَغَافِرُ: it is also said that مَغَافِيرُ is applied to a kind of sweet honey, like
رُبّ, except that it is white. [Hence the saying,]
[This is gathering, not the scraping off مغفر]: a prov. alluding to the preference of a thing; said to him who obtains much good. [See also Freytag's Arab. Prov., ii. 874.]هٰذَا الجَنَى لَا أَْنْ يُكَدَّ
