Root entry · 1 derived lemmaفُرْفُورٌ ذ : see فُرَارٌ, in three places. [It is said that] it signifies A fat جَمَل (Thus in copies of the K [an evident mistranscription for حَمَل, i. e. lamb, as is indicated in the TA by the addition such as has become what is termed جَفْرٌ].) ― -b2- And (assumed tropical:) A youth, or young man; (O, K, TA;) as being likened to the lamb (حَمَل) that has obtained plenty of herbage and has become fat; (TA; [see فُرَارٌ;]) and so ↓ فُرَافِرٌ. (O, K, TA.) ― -b3- And A certain bird; (S, O, K;) as also ↓ فُرْفُرٌ (O, K) and ↓ فِرْفِرٌ: (K:) a small عُصفُور [i. e. sparrow, or passerine bird ]: (ISh, T, M:) so it is said: (M:) and ↓ فُرْفُرٌ signifies the عُصْفُورٌ [in an absolute sense]; (M, K;) as also فُرْفُورٌ: (K:) accord. to AHát, Et-Táïfee says that ↓ الفُرْفُرُ, of which the pl. is الفَرَافِرُ, signifies the نَقَاقِير; thus he says, [using the pl.,] not the نُقَّار [or نَقَّار? (see عُصْفُورٌ)]; and he adds that sometimes it is said that the فُرْفُور is the صِرّ [q. v.]; and some say ↓ الفِرْفِرُ, with kesr, but he says, I am not confident of its chasteness: (O:) [accord. to Ed-Demeeree, as stated by Freytag, فُرْفُرٌ is the name of a small aquatic bird like the dove or pigeon: SM says, app. relying upon the correctness of a modern application of the word,] I have seen the فُرْفُور in Egypt, and it is smaller than the اـوَذّ [which is applied to the goose and sometimes to the duck ]. (TA.) -A2- Also, and ↓ فُرَافِرٌ, Parched meal (سَوِيق) prepared from the يَنبُوت [a tree described in art. نبت, which see, and see also غَافٌ], (M, O, K,) i. e. from the fruit thereof; (O, K;) as some say, from the ينبوت of 'Omán. (TA.)
