def.3 Also, and فِقْعٌ , the latter mentioned by ISk, A species of كَمْأَة [or truffles]; accord. to A 'Obeyd, the white and soft thereof: which is the worst thereof; or, as IAth says, a species of the worst [kind] of كمأة, accord. to AHn, it comes forth from the ground so as to appear, white, and is bad; the good being that which is extracted by digging: Lth says, It is a كَمْء [or truffle] that comes forth from the base of the plant called إِجْرِد [q. v.], and is of the worst of كمأة, and the quickest in becoming corrupt: the pl. is فِقَعَةٌ, which is of both forms of the sing.; and فَقْعٌ, with fet-h, has for pls. أُفْقُعٌ [a pl. of pauc.] and فُقُوعٌ [a pl. of mult.].
