فردخ

Root entry · 4 derived lemmas

This root entry appears to be incomplete and potentially corrupted. It discusses a word possibly related to largeness and softness, but notes its absence in major lexicons and suggests it might be a misspelling. It then transitions to the root 'فرسخ' (farsakha), discussing its meaning as a unit of distance, time, and stillness.
