Full Definition
سُقُرْقَعٌ
, an arabicized word from سُكُرْكَه, [or سُكُرْگَهْ, so written in Persian,] A certain beverage, the wine of the Abyssinians, made from
ذُرَة [or millet]: or a certain beverage of the people of El-Hijáz, from barley and [other] grains; to which they have become addicted: Lth says, it is an Abyssinian word, not of the language of the Arabs, because there is not in the language a quinqueliteral-radical word having damm to the first syllable and fet-h to the last, except such as is reduplicative, like ذُرَحْرَحٌ. [See also سُكُرْكَةٌ, and مِزْرٌ, and غُبَيْرَآءُ.]
