جَوْرَفٌ جورف : see جُرَافٌ. ― -b2- Hence, as being likened to the torrent thus termed, (TA,) (tropical:) A quick, or swift, بِرْذَون [or hack, &c.]. (K.) And (tropical:) An ass; [app. meaning a wild ass, because of his swiftness.] (Sgh, K.) And, accord. to some, A male ostrich: (as in the K:) but this is a mistranscription for جَوْرَقٌ, with ق. (Abu-l-' Abbás, T, Sgh, L, TA.)
