Full Definition

رَاهِطَآءُ and رُهَطَةٌ and رُهَطَآءُ , like دَامَّآءُ, One of the holes of the jerboa, from which it takes forth the earth or dust, and collects it; it is the first hole that it excavates; and is between the قَاصِعَآء and the نَافِقَآء; and therein it hides its young: or, as AHeyth explains the first of these words, what the jerboa makes, or puts, at the mouth of the قاصعاء, and what is behind that, covering its hole except enough to admit the light from it.
