فَوَّارَةٌ ذ , (accord. to the K,) or ↓ فُوَّارَةٌ, (accord. to a copy of the M,) A source, or spring, of water: (M, K:) [the latter word is app. the right in this case; for] IAar says that ↓ فُوَّارَةٌ is applied to a wave: and to a بِرْكَة [i. e. watering-trough, or the like; or basin, pool, pond; &c.]: and فَوَّارَةٌ, to anything that is not water: and in one place he says that دَوَّارَةٌ and فَوَّارَةٌ are applied to anything that does not move nor turn round; and دُوَّارَةٌ and ↓ فُوَّارَةٌ to such as moves and turns round. (T, TA.) ― -b2- فَوَّارَةُ الوَرِكِ, with fet-h and teshdeed, signifies The hole, or perforating aperture, of the ورك [or haunch ]: (S, O:) or the فَوَّارَة, (K,) or ↓ فُوَّارَة, (so in a copy of the M,) is an aperture in the وَرِك [or haunch ], to the belly, or interior of the body, not obstructed by bone: (M, K:) [these two explanations plainly apply to the sacroischiatic foramen: but what here follows is consistent with what precedes, though somewhat less clear:] or the فَوَّارَتَانِ, (K,) or ↓ فُوَّارَتَانِ, (accord. to a copy of the M,) are [ two parts, in the region of the pelvis, described as being ] سِكَّتَانِ [a word which I do not find to have any proper meaning that would be here apposite, but which seems to be applied in this case, by a kind of catachresis, to two parts through which a weapon or the like may pass, ] between [ each of ] the haunch-bones or hip-bones (بَيْنَ الوَرِكَيْنِ) and the قُحْقُح [or ischium ], towards the side of the وَرِك [or hip-bone ], (M, K,) not intervening as obstacles in the way to the belly, or interior of the body; and they are what become in a state of commotion in the act of walking, or going along.
