An incision, or a cut, made by the elbow [ of a camel ], in the arm, [probably a mistake for in the side, (see 1, near the middle of the paragraph,)] so as to reach to the flesh, cutting through the skin, by the side of the callous protuberance upon the breast. (O.) [See also حَازٌّ, in art. حز.] ― -b2- [Hence, app.,] ذُو عَرْكَيْنِ, as used by a poet, [the dual, it seems, being put for the sing. for the sake of the rhyme, as it ends a verse,] is a metaphorical term for The vulva of a woman; the عَرْك in its primary sense being in the camel. (TA.) -A2- Also The dung of beasts or birds of prey. (O, K.) -A3- And Herbage trodden and eaten. (TA.)
