Root entry · 1 derived lemma

R. Q. 1 قَحْقَحَةٌ ذ [an inf. n. of which the verb is قَحْقَحَ] signifies The laughing of the ape or monkey. (L, K.) [Compare with this قَهْقَهَةٌ.] ― -b2- And The voice's being, or becoming, reiterated in the throat, or fauces. (L, K.) And it is similar to بُحَّةٌ [which means A hoarseness, roughness, harshness, or gruffness, of the voice]. (L.) [But both of these significations are also assigned in the L to فَحْفَحَةٌ, with ف; to which alone, of these two words, they may perhaps belong.]
