Full Definition
2 Also Judgment, or opinion, and understanding, or intellect, or intelligence; as in the saying, مَا لَهُ صَيُّورٌ [He has not judgment nor understanding]: or a judgment, or an opinion, to which one eventually comes; as in the saying, مَا لَهُ بَدْءٌ وَلَا صَيُّورٌ [He has not a first, nor a final, idea, thought, judgment, or opinion].
def.2 Also, as AHn says, on the authority of Aboo-Ziyád, and صَائِرَةٌ , Dry herbage or pasture, that is eaten long after its being green: and he adds that no herbs have صَيُّور except such as are of the kinds called الثَّغْر and الأَفَانِى.
def.3 أُمُّ صَيُّورٍ signifies A confused and dubious affair, through which there is no way of passing; as in the phrase وَقَعَ فِى أُمِّ صَيُّورٍ, mentioned by Yaakoob [ISk] in the “ Alfádh ” [accord. to some of the copies of that work]: originally meaning a [mountain, or hill, such as is termed] هَضْبَة without a pass: but it is more probably صَبُّور [q. v., in art. صبر].
