Full Definition
خُشْعَةٌ
A low hill: or a hill cleaving to the ground: and a piece of rugged ground: or [elevated ground such as is termed] قُفّ
that is for the most part soft, i. e. neither stone nor clay: and a rock growing in the sea: pl. خُشَعٌ. It is said in a trad., كَانَتِ الأَرْضُ خُشْعَةً عَلَى المَآءِ ثُمَّ دُحِيَتْ [The earth was a low hill, &c., upon the water: then it was spread out]: but this trad. is variously related.
