Full Definition
غَضَفَةٌ
A certain bird: or a
قَطَاة [or sandgrouse]: or the قَطَاة
termed
جُونِيَّة: pl.
غَضَفٌ [or rather this, if correct, is a coll. gen. n.]: J says that
[thus in the TA, but in my and other copies of the S
, for which Golius appears to have found الغُضُفُ,] signifies القَطَا الجُونُ; but IB says that it is correctly القطا الجُونِىُّ. (TA. [See جُونِىٌّ: and particularly what is said at the end of the paragraph thus headed.])
def.2 Also An [eminence of the kind called] أَكَمَة. (O, K, TA. [For اكمة, in this case, the TK has most strangely substituted اكمه, meaning أَكْمَهُ, for it explains it as signifying “ blind from the birth; ” and this, though an obvious mistake, Freytag asserts to be the right reading and explanation.])
