مَقْنَأَةٌ
and مَقْنُؤَةٌ i. q.
مَقْمَأَةٌ [and مَقْمُؤَةٌ], A place on which the sun does not come; as also
قُنْأَةٌ [perhaps a mistranscription for قَنْأَةٌ like its syn. قَمْأَةٌ]: some say that مَقْنَاةٌ and مَقْنُوَةٌ, [thus] without ء, signify the contr. of
مَضْحَاةٌ [which means a place from which the sun is hardly ever, or never, absent].
