def.2 Also The bird that the sportsman sets up in order that the falcon, or hawk, may alight upon it and so he may capture it; also called رَامِجٌ and مِلْوَاحٌ: he takes an owl, and ties something black to its leg, and sews up its eyes, and ties to its shanks a long string; and when the falcon, or hawk, alights upon it, he captures it from his lurking-place: mentioned by Lth and by IDrd; and thought by the latter to be not a genuine Arabic word.
