الفَيْشَلَةُ

Full Definition

الفَيْشَلَةُ The حَشَفَة; [i. e.] the head [or glans] of the penis: and the head of any مُحَوَّق [or penis having a large glans]: (CK: in the text of the K as given in the TA, مُجَوَّف: [and thus in my MS. copy of the K; but it has been there altered, app. to agree with the TA, as have many other words in that copy; and the former reading is evidently, I think, the right:] some say that its ل is augmentative, like the ل in عَبْدَلٌ and in [the proper name] زَيْدَلٌ: but it may be from some other word than فَيْشَةٌ, though this has nearly the same meaning, [or, as is said in the TA in art. فيش, both have the same meaning,] and, if so, the ى may be augmentative, which is more agreeable with analogy: the pl. is فَيَاشِلُ, and is another pl. [or rather a coll. gen. n.] thereof, used as such in a verse of Jereer.
2 [The pl.] فَيَاشِلُ signifies also a name of Certain trees.
3 [Freytag adds as other meanings what belong to a description of the proper name of a certain water and of hills surrounding it, called الفَيَاشِلُ.]
