وعل: or the male of the
أَرْوَى: En-Nadr says that it has small horns: Aboo-Kheyreh, that it is of the
وُعُول, does not quit the mountain, and its horns have branches: he says that the وعول are dusky, or dingy, or of a hue inclining to black and dust-colour, with whiteness in their lower parts; and the ثَيَاتِل [pl. of ثَيْتَل] are like them in their colours, and only distinguished from them by the horns; the وعل having long horns, which extend backwards until they meet over his tail: also a species of [the bovine antelope called] بَقَرُ الوَحْشِ, that abides in the mountains.
