قَزْدِيرٌ [which is applied in the present day to tin, and pewter]: El-Kásim Ibn-Maan says, I heard an Arab of the desert say, هٰذَا رَصَاصٌ آنُكٌ, i. e. [this is] pure [lead]: it is of the measure أَفْعُلٌ, [originally أَأْنُكٌ,] which is one of the forms of pls., like أَفْلُسٌ; and there is no other word of this measure, among sing. nouns, except أَشُدٌّ [originally أَشْدُدٌ], and آجُرٌ in the dial. of those who pronounce it without teshdeed: it is disputed, however, whether أَشُدٌّ be a sing. or a pl.: [and as to آجُرٌ, see what follows:] or, accord. to some, آنُكٌ is of the measure فَاعُلٌ, and is the only word of that measure in Arabic: or it is a foreign word; and so are آجُرٌ and [the proper names] آمُلُ and كَابُلُ. It is said, in a trad., that he who listens to a singing female slave, آنُك shall be poured into his ears on the day of resurrection.
