Lane's Arabic-English Lexicon

أَقْفَزُ

Root: قفز

Full Definition

أَقْفَزُ and مُقَفَّزٌ A horse whose whiteness of the lower parts of his fore legs extends as far as his مِرْفَقَانِ [properly signifying the elbows; but here, probably meaning, as it seems to do in some other instances, the knees], without his having the like in the hind legs; as though he had gloves (قُفَّازَانِ) put upon him: or whose whiteness of the lower parts of the legs does not extend beyond the أَشَاعِر [or hairs next the hoof]; as also مُنَعَّلٌ.
