2 Also, Hair collected together upon the head: or hair hanging down upon the ears: or hair extending beyond the lobe of the ear: or hair extending to the lobe of the ear: or hair such as is termed جُمَّة, extending to the ears: it is said to be larger than what is termed جُمَّة; but this is a mistake: the order is this: first, the وَفْرَة; then, the جُمَّة; then, the لِمَّة: the second of these three is what extends beyond the ears; and the third is what descends upon the shoulder-joints: pl. وِفَارٌ.
