Full Definition
رَزْنٌ
A place that is elevated and hard, having in it a depression that retains the water [of the rain]: pl. رُزُونٌ and رِزَانٌ: the latter of which pls. is also pl. of رِزْنَةٌ [q. v.]. It is also sing. of أَرْزَانٌ signifying [Hollows, or cavities, such as are termed] نُقَرٌ [pl. of نُقْرَةٌ] in stone, or in rugged ground, that retain the water [of the rain]; and so is
رِزْنٌ ; or, accord. to Ibn-Hamzeh, this latter only; and thus says IB, because a noun of the measure فَعْلٌ has not a pl. of the measure أَفْعَالٌ, except in a few instances. [The pl.] رُزَونٌ also signifies The remains of a torrent in places which it has partially worn away.
