صعر

صَيْعَرِيَّةٌ ذ Obliquity in going or march or course: (S, K:) from صَعَرٌ [inf. n. of صَعِرَ]. (S.) -A2- Also A mark made with a hot iron upon the neck of a camel: (S:) or of a she-camel (K) only: (TA:) a mark of the people of El-Yemen, only made upon she-camels: (Tedhkireh of Aboo-'Alee:) not upon a camel whether male or female, (K,) as it is said to be by A'Obeyd [and J]. (TA.) J was led into error by a verse of El-Museiyab (K) Ibn 'Alas; wherein he uses the phrase بِنَاجٍ عَلَيْهِ الصَّيْعَرِيَّةُ [ With a swift he-camel marked with the صيعريّة]; (TA;) on hearing which, Tarafeh (K) Ibn-El-'Abd (TA) said, قَدِ ا@سْتَنْوَقَ الجَمَلُ [The male camel has assumed the characteristic of the female camel]. (K, TA.) El-Bedr El-Karáfee urges that the term بَعِير, used by J, includes the female; and that the masc. epithet [نَاجٍ] is used [by the poet] because the male is the more honourable, being more hardy, and stronger than the female: but this demands consideration.
