Wheat; and the grain of wheat; syn. بُرٌّ and قَمْحٌ and طَعَامٌ; of the first three of which words, بُرٌّ is the most chaste; (S in art. بر;) the well-known grain called
بُرٌّ: chewed, and applied as a poultice, it is good for the bite of a dog: or, correctly, what is chewed thereof disperses humours; but for the bite of a dog, it is coarsely pounded, and put upon the bite; as is said by the author of the “ Minháj: ” and one of its wellknown properties is this; that when it is put upon a piece of heated iron, and powdered, and ringworms (قَوَابِىّ) are smeared with the moisture thereof, it removes them: pl. حِنَطٌ.
