خزر

خِنْزِيرٌ خنزير [The swine; the hog; the pig; ] a certain foul animal, (Msb,) well known; (K;) said to be forbidden [ to be eaten ] by every prophet: (Msb:) [fem. with ة:] pl. خَنَازِيرُ: (S, Msb, K:) not, as some say, خُزْرٌ: [though this is an epithet applicable to swine:] (TA:) accord. to some, it is of the measure فِعْلِيلٌ; because ن is not [generally] added as a second letter: but accord. to others, of the measure فِنْعِيلٌ; because ن is sometimes added as a second letter, and because it is held to be derived from خَزِرَ, since all خنازير are خُزْر; as it is said in the A, كُلُّ خِنْزِيرٍ أَخْزَرُ. (TA.) ― -b2- خَنَازِيرُ also signifies A well-known disease; (S;) [ scrofula; or glandular swellings in the neck; ] ulcers, (K,) or hard ulcers, (S,) which arise in the neck: (S, K:) or ganglions, or hard or nodous lumps beneath the skin, in the neck, and in soft parts, such as the armpits; but most frequently in the neck.
