(TA.) ― -b2- [Also applied to Clay; plastic clay; or potters' earth. ]

بَلَاسٌ بلاس , (S, Msb, K,) like سَلَامٌ, (Msb,) and سَحَابٌ, (K,) [in a copy of the M written بِلَاسٌ,] A [ garment, or piece of stuff, of the kind called ] مِسْح [i. e. of hair-cloth ]: (S, M, Msb, K:) used in this sense by the people of El-Medeeneh: (S:) a Persian word; (AO, S, Msb;) originally بَلَاسٌ, without ال: (TA:) arabicized: (S, Msb:) also called by the Arabs Pَلَاس, with the ب termed مُشَبَّع: (TA:) pl. بُلُسٌ. (M, Msb, K.) [The pl.] بُلُسٌ is also applied to Large sacks of مُسُوح [i. e. hair-cloths ], in which figs are put, [ or, more probably, in which straw is put, for التِّين, which I find in two copies of the S and in the TA, can hardly be doubted to be a mistranscription of التِّبْن], and upon which is paraded he who is made a public example that others may take warning from him, and the subject of a proclamation [acquainting the spectators with his offence ]: whence the imprecation, أَرَانِيكَ ا@للّٰهُ عَلَىالبُلُسِ [ May God show me thee upon the large haircloth-sacks ]. (S, TA.)

بَلَسَانٌ بلسان لسان [The balsam-tree; or the species that produces the balsam of Mekkeh; i. e., the amyris opobalsamum; ] a certain kind of tree, (M,) or shrub, resembling the حِنَّاآء, (K,) having many leaves, inclining to white, in odour resembling the سَذَاب [or rue ], (TA,) the berry of which has an unguent, (Lth, M, TA,) which is hot, (Lth, TA,) and its unguent is in great request: (Lth, K, TA:) its unguent [ opobalsamum ] is more potent than its berry [ carpobalsamum ], and its berry is more so than its wood [ xylobalsamum ] : the best of its wood is the smooth, tawny-coloured, pungent and sweet in odour: it is hot and dry in the second degree; and its berry is a little hotter than it: its wood opens stoppages of the nose, and is good for the sciatica and vertigo and headache, and clears cloudiness of the eye, and is good for asthma and oppression of the breath, and for flaccidity of the womb, used by fumigation; it is also beneficial in cases of barrenness, and counteracts poisons and the bite of vipers: (the Minháj, TA:) it is said in the K and in the Minháj, and by most of the physicians and those who treat of drugs, that it grows only at 'Eyn-Shems, in the neighbourhood of El-Káhireh, the place called ElMatareeyeh; but MF observes that this is strange, as it is well known that it is mostly found in the district of El-Hijáz, between the Harameyn and El-Yembo' , whence it is conveyed to all countries: the truth, however, is, that it ceased to grow at ' Eyn-Shems in the latter part of the eighth century [of the Flight], and it was endeavoured [successfully] to be made to grow in El-Hijáz. (TA.) [See also De Sacy's “ Abd-allatif, ” p. 89.]
