Root: ضبر
Full Definition
ضُبَّارٌ
A sort of tree resembling very nearly that of the
بَلُّوط, [i. e. the oak,] the wood of which is good as fuel, like that of the
مَظّ: its fresh firewood, when kindled, sends forth a sound like that of
مَخَارِيق [pl. of مِخْرَاقٌ, q. v.]; and therefore they use it to do so at the thickets wherein are lions, which flee in consequence: the n. un. is with ة.
