Full Definition
2 [Hence,] A horse contracted [in make] and broad in the back; or a horse broad in the back, and short therein; of the sort called بَرَاذِين; pl. دُكٌّ.
3 And the fem. signifies A she-camel having no hump: or whose hump is not prominent, but spreading upon her sides: pl. دُكٌّ and دَكَّاوَاتٌ, said in the S to be like حُمْرٌ and حَمْرَاوَاتٌ, but one does not say حَمْرَاوَاتٌ, like as one does not say أَحْمَرُونَ: and in like manner the masc. is applied to a he-camel: or دَكَّآءُ [in the sense here explained] has no masc., and therefore it is allowable to say دَكَّاوَاتٌ.
