Full Definition
بِنٌّ
A place having a fetid odour.
def.2 It also signifies طِرْقٌ مِنَ الشَّحْمِ and السِّمَنِ (K, TA: in the CK السَّمْنِ:) [said in the TA to mean قُوَّةٌ مِنْهُمَا, i. e. Strength arising from fat and from fatness: but I think that وَالسِّمَنِ has been added in the K in consequence of a misunderstanding, and that the meaning is a layer of fat; this meaning seeming to be indicated by the ex. here following, and corroborated by significations of several conjugates of طِرْقٌ, as طَرِيقَةٌ and طَرَقٌ and طِرَاقٌ &c.] One says of a beast (دَابَّة) when it has become fat, رَكِبَهَا بِنٌّ عَلَىبِنٍ and طِرْقٌ عَلَى طِرْقٍ [clearly I think, meaning Layer upon layer, of fat, has accumulated upon it.]
