كُرْدٌ

Root: كرد

Full Definition

كُرْدٌ a pl. [or rather a coll. gen. n.] of which the sing. [or n. un.] is كُرْدَةٌ , the latter signifying A مَشَارَة, i. e. channel of water for irrigation, of places, [or plots] of seed- produce: this is what is meant in the K by the saying that الكُرْدُ signifies الدَّبْرَةُ مِنَ المَزَارِعِ, and that the n. un. is with ة: an instance of agreement between the languages of the Arabs and the 'Ajam; or, as some assert, an Arabic word derived from المُكَارَدَةُ: or كُرْدٌ signifies a دَبْرَة, and is [originally] a Pers. word: and the pl. is كُرُودٌ: and كُرْدَةٌ is like كُرْدٌ [in signification]: [see also دَبْرَةٌ, voce دَبْرٌ:] or كُرْدَةٌ signifies a piece of land, or of sown land, or one having a raised border; and its pl. is كُرَدٌ [app. a mistranscription for the coll. gen. n. كُرْدٌ].
