Root: صرى

Full Definition

مُصَرَّاةٌ A ewe, or she-goat, whose milk has been caused to collect in her udder by her not having been milked for some days; as also صُرَّى , like رُبَّى; (so in copies of the K; [but this, if correct, should be mentioned in art. صر, in which the former is also mentioned; accord. to the TA, however, it seems to be صُرًى , without teshdeed, for it is there said to be like رُبى;]) both likewise applied to a she-camel, and to a cow; and signifies the same, applied to a she-camel and to a ewe or she-goat; and so, applied to a she-camel, صَرْيَآءُ , of which the pl. is صَرَايَا, an irreg. pl. [See also صَرٍ.]
2 Aboo-'Alee, in the Bári', makes it syn. with مَصْرُورَةٌ; and so says the Imám EshSháfi'ee; as though originally مُصَرَّرَةٌ: but Suh, in the R, disallows this.
