Root: صعر
Full Definition
صَيْعَرِيَّةٌ
Obliquity in going or march or course: from صَعَرٌ [Verbal.Noun of صَعِرَ].
def.2 Also A mark made with a hot iron upon the neck of a camel: or of a she-camel only: a mark of the people of El-Yemen, only made upon she-camels: not upon a camel whether male or female, as it is said to be by A'Obeyd [and J]. J was led into error by a verse of El-Museiyab Ibn 'Alas; wherein he uses the phrase بِنَاجٍ عَلَيْهِ الصَّيْعَرِيَّةُ [With a swift he-camel marked with the صيعريّة]; on hearing which, Tarafeh Ibn-El-'Abd said, قَدِ ٱسْتَنْوَقَ الجَمَلُ [The male camel has assumed the characteristic of the female camel]. El-Bedr El-Karáfee urges that the term بَعِير, used by J, includes the female; and that the masc. epithet [نَاجٍ] is used [by the poet] because the male is the more honourable, being more hardy, and stronger than the female: but this demands consideration.
