Full Definition
بَنَّةٌ
A sweet, or pleasant, odour; such as that of the apple and the like, or the quince: Sb says that it is a name for a sweet, or pleasant, odour, like
خَمْطَةٌ: and an unpleasant odour; a fetid odour; whence بَنَّةٌ الغَزْلِ [the odour of the yarn] occurring in a saying of 'Alee, respecting a weaver; which shows that A'Obeyd erred in asserting it to have only the first of the foregoing significations; which Suh, in the R, assigns also to
بُنَانَةٌ : the odour of sheep, or goats, or of camels or cattle; and of the dung of gazelles; and of the lodging-places of sheep or goats and of oxen or bulls or cows and of gazelles: and sometimes the lodgingplaces themselves, of sheep or goats: pl. بِنَانٌ.
