Root: وجر
Full Definition
وِجَارٌ
and وَجَارٌ The hole, or den, (جُحْر, A, K,) or subterranean habitation, (سَرَب, T, S,) of the hyena, &c., or, and the like, such as the lion, and the wolf, and the fox, and the like: pl. [of pauc.] أَوْجِرَةٌ and [of mult.] وُجُرٌ. A poet uses the expression كِلَابُ وِجَارٍ, applying وجار metaphorically to the place of the dog: but it is not improbable that the correct relation may be ضِبَاعُ
وِجَارٍ: though it may be allowable to call hyenas كَلَاب, as her young ones are called جِرَآء.
