فجل

فُجْلٌ ذ (S, O, K) and ↓ فُجُلٌ, (O, K,) both mentioned by AHn, (O, TA,) or ↓ فِجْلٌ, (Msb,) thus, with kesr, commonly pronounced by the vulgar, (TA,) [The radish, raphanus sativus; (Forskål's Flora Ægypt. Arab., lxix. no. 327; and Delile's Floræ Ægypt. Illustr., no. 608;)] a certain أَرُومَة [or root of the kind termed rhizoma ], (K, TA,) that occasions abominable eructation; (TA;) a herb, (Msb,) well known: (S, Msb:) said by IDrd to be not a genuine Arabic word; and thought by him to be derived from فَجِلَ signifying as expl. above: (Msb:) n. un. with ة, (K,) i. e. فُجْلَةٌ (S, O) and فُجُلَةٌ (O) [and فِجْلَةٌ]: it is a gardenplant, found in abundance; and there is a Syrian sort, said to be produced by putting together the seeds of the colza and [ those of ] the فجل: (TA:) it (i. e. each sort, TA) is good for pain of the joints, and jaundice, (K, TA,) and sciatica, and the نِقْرِس [i. e. gout, or specially in the foot or feet ], (TA,) and pain of the liver (K, TA) arising from cold, (TA,) and the biting and stinging of vipers and scorpions: (K, TA: [several other supposed properties thereof mentioned in the K, and many more mentioned in the TA, I omit as unimportant:]) what is most potent thereof is its seed; then, its peel; then, its leaf; then, its flesh. (K, TA.) What is called حَبُّ الفُجْلِ is Another remedial thing: (K:) this فجل is not of the species of herb mentioned above: (O, Msb, TA:) so says AHn: the hakeem Dáwood says, it is one of the species of this فجل, a wild species, elongated, abounding in the Sa'eed of Egypt: (TA:) [it is the raphanus oleifer, mentioned by Delile (Floræ Ægypt. Illustr., no. 609,) as cultivated in Nubia and in Egypt, and called in Arabic “ symâgah: ”] from it (or from its seed, TA) is made the oil of the فجل (دُهْنُ الفُِجْلِ); (Msb, K, TA;) and it is known by the appellation of السَّيْمَعَةُ [correctly السَّيْمَغَةُ]. (TA.) [Delile, ubi suprà, no. 571, mentions فِجْل الجَمَل, as a name of The cakile maritima of Tournefort; the bunias cakile of Linn.: and in the same, no. 396, he mentions فِجْل الجَبَل as the Arabic name of The rumex spinosus of Linn.; as does also Forskål, in his work cited above, p. lxv., no. 213, and again in p. 76.]
