لها أشارير من لحم، تتمره ... من الثعالي، ووخز من أرانيها

It has strips of meat, which it cuts into pieces... from foxes, and a morsel of its rabbits.

Except for a nose-ring, and ashes of two pots, and not a stout peg, or two pegs, ... and cooking stones as you place them on tripods.

أي لم يبق من هذه الدار التي خلت من أهلها، مما تحلى به وتعرف، غير رماد القدر والأثافي؛ وهي حجارة القدر والوتد الذي تشد إليه حبال البيوت؛ والود: الوتد إلا أنه أدغم التاء في الدال، فقال ود.

And 'al-arinibah': a herb similar to 'al-nasi', except that it is thinner, weaker, and softer, and it is very beneficial for livestock, and it has, when dry, fluff, which flies off whenever moved and gets into the eyes and nostrils; from Abu Hanifa.

حتى رأيت الأرنبة تأكلها صغار الإبل.

Until I saw the 'arnabah' being eaten by young camels.

أحدهما أنها واحدة الأرانب، حملها السيل، حتى تعلقت في الشجر، فأكلت؛ قال: وهو بعيد لأن الإبل لا تأكل اللحم.

One of them is that it is a single rabbit, carried by the flood, until it got caught in the trees, and was eaten; he said: And this is unlikely because camels do not eat meat.

والثاني: أن معناه أنها نبت لا يكاد يطول، فأطاله هذا المطر حتى صار للإبل مرعى.

And the second: that its meaning is a plant that hardly grows tall, and this rain made it grow until it became pasture for the camels.

والذي عليه أهل اللغة: أن اللفظة إنما هي الأرينة، بياء تحتها نقطتان، وبعدها نون، وهو نبت معروف، يشبه الخطمي، عريض الورق، وسنذكره في أرن.

And what is upon the linguists: that the word is actually 'al-arinah', with a 'yaa' with two dots below it, and then a 'noon', and it is a known plant, resembling mallow, with broad leaves, and we will mention it under 'arn'.

قال شمر قال بعضهم: سألت الأصمعي عن الأرنبة، فقال: نبت؛ قال شمر: وهو عندي الأرينة، سمعت في الفصيح من أعراب سعد بن بكر، ببطن مر، قال: ورأيته نباتا يشبه الخطمي، عريض الورق.

Shammir said: Some of them said: I asked Al-Asma'i about 'al-arnabah', and he said: a plant; Shammir said: And in my opinion, it is 'al-arinah', I heard in Al-Fasih from the Bedouins of Sa'd ibn Bakr, in Batn Mar, he said: And I saw it as a plant resembling mallow, with broad leaves.

قال شمر: وسمعت غيره من أعراب كنانة يقول: هو الأرين.

Shammir said: And I heard another from the Bedouins of Kinanah say: It is 'al-arin'.

وقالت أعرابية، من بطن مر: هي الأرينة، وهي خطمينا، وغسول الرأس؛

And a Bedouin woman, from Batn Mar, said: It is 'al-arinah', and it is our mallow, and a hair wash.

قال أبو منصور: وهذا الذي حكاه شمر صحيح، والذي روي عن الأصمعي أنه الأرنبة من الأرانب غير صحيح؛ وشمر متقن، وقد عني بهذا الحرف، فسأل عنه غير واحد من الأعراب حتى أحكمه، والرواة ربما صحفوا وغيروا؛ قال: ولم أسمع الأرنبة، في باب النبات، من واحد، ولا رأيته في نبوت البادية.

Abu Mansur said: And this which Shammir narrated is correct, and what was narrated from Al-Asma'i that it is 'al-arnabah' from rabbits is incorrect; and Shammir is precise, and he was concerned with this letter, so he asked more than one Bedouin about it until he mastered it, and narrators sometimes make errors and change things; he said: And I have not heard 'al-arnabah', in the category of plants, from anyone, nor have I seen it in the plants of the desert.

قال: وهو خطأ عندي.

He said: And it is an error in my opinion.

قال: وأحسب القتيبي ذكر عن الأصمعي أيضا الأرنبة، وهو غير صحيح.

He said: And I think Al-Qutaybi also mentioned 'al-arnabah' from Al-Asma'i, and it is incorrect.

And Arnab: the name of a woman; Ma'n ibn Aws said:

متى تأتهم، ترفع بناتي برنة، ... وتصدح بنوح، يفزع النوح، أرنب

When you come to them, my daughters will raise a wail, ... and cry out with lamentation, the lamentation will frighten, Arnab.
