Root entry · 1 derived lemma

قَسْوَرٌ ذ (S, TA) and قَسْوَرَةٌ, (K, TA,) the former a coll. gen. n., and the latter the n. un., (M,) A certain plant, (S, M, K,) which grows in plain, or soft, land; (M, K;) a sour plant, of the kind called نَجِيل, which is like the جُمَّة [or full and long hair of the head ] of a man, and becomes tall and large, of which camels are greedily fond, (AHn, M,) and which fattens them, and makes them plentiful in milk. (Az, TA.) Lth is in error in saying that the former signifies a huntsman, or hunter; for it signifies a plant, as IAar and AHn and others have said. -A2- See also قَسْوَرَةٌ, in two places.
