And the large, brittle, entering (thing), meaning the one inside (the horn), is called mureekh al-qarn, (like al-mureekh), as in ameer, thus in all versions.

عن الليث في مرخ، فجعله مريخا، وجمعه على أمريخة، وجعله في هاذا الباب مريخا بتشديد الياء، قال ولم أسمعه لغيره.

From Al-Layth in (the entry for) 'marakh', he made it 'mureekhan', and its plural 'amreekhah', and in this section he made it 'mureekhan' with a shaddah on the ya, saying he had not heard it from anyone else.

والذي نقله الأزهري عن أبي خيرة أنه قال هو المريخ والمريج، أي بالخاء والجيم، كلاهما كأمير: القرن الداخل ويجمعان أمريخة وأمرجة.

And what Al-Azhari transmitted from Abu Khayrah is that he said it is 'al-mureekh' and 'al-mureej', meaning with kha and jeem, both like ameer: the inner part of the horn, and they are pluralized as 'amreekhah' and 'amraja'.
