The lizard is a gecko, and the plural is wazgh, awzag, wazghan, wazghan, and izghan, as a substitute;

وعندي أن الوزغان إنما هو جمع وزغ الذي هو جمع وزغة كورل وورلان لأن الجمع إذا طابق الواحد في البناء وكان ذلك الجمع مما يجمع جمع على ما جمع عليه ذلك الواحد، وليس بجمع وزغة لأن ما فيه الهاء لا يجمع على فعلان.

And I believe that 'wazghan' is indeed a plural of 'wazgh', which is a plural of 'wazagh' like 'kurr' and 'wurral', because a plural matches the singular in form, and that plural is collected in the same way as the singular is collected, and it is not a plural of 'wazagh' because what contains the 'taa marbuta' is not pluralized as 'faylan'.

بضرب كآذان الفراء فضوله، ... وطعن كإيزاغ المخاض تبورها
