Full Definition
آبِنُوسٌ
, with medd to the ا and kesr to the ب, or with damm to the ب, [i. e. آبُنُوسٌ, and by some written آبَنُوسٌ,] or with the بquiescent, [i. e. أَبْنُوسٌ,] and without و, [app. أَبْنُسٌ,] [Ebony;] a thing well known, which is brought from India: an arabicized word: (Msb [in which is added the proper Arabic appellation; but the word in my copy of that work is imperfectly written; app. جعفر; which, however, does not seem to be the word intended:]) some say that it is the same as
سَاسَم: others, that it is different therefrom: and respecting the measure of the word, authors differ.
