شُوَيْكِيَّةٌ

Root: شوك

Full Definition

شُوَيْكِيَّةٌ , thus [says Sgh] I have seen the latter word in a verse in the Deewán of Dhu-r-Rummeh in the handwriting of Skr, with a distinct sheddeh to the [latter] ى, but in the handwriting of El-Bujeyrimee without a sheddeh; Camels whose canine teeth have grown forth: some say that it is شُوَيْكِئَة, with ء, and is for شُوَيْقِئَة [q. v.], the ق being changed into ك.
