كَرَوْيا

Root: كرى

Full Definition

كَرَوْيا [Caraway-seed] is of the measure فَعَوْلَلٌ [and if so must be written كَرَوْيًا]: or it may be فَعَوْلًى: [but see what follows:] AHn says that, if with medd, it is fem. [and therefore كَرَوْيَآءُ]: but it is not Arabic [and therefore, without medd, it is probably كَرَوْيَا].
