2 Also, and عُلَامٌ , The صَقْر [or hawk]; the latter on the authority of IAar: and [particularly] the بَاشَق [i. e. the musket, or sparrow-hawk]; as some say: or so the former word, or the latter word accord. to Kr and IB.
3 And the former word, The [plant called] حِنَّآء [i. e. Lawsonia inermis]: thus correctly, but mentioned by Kr as without tesh-deed.
4 And the same, i. e. with tesh-deed, The kernel of the stone of the نَبِق [or fruit, i. e. drupe, of the lote-tree called سِدْر].
