Al-fanqūrah, like 'aṣfūrah, was neglected by Al-Jawharī. Al-Layth said: it is the hole of al-faqḥah, meaning Umm Suwayd, like al-fanqūr, without the 'hā'. Al-Ṣāghānī restricted himself to the latter, quoting Al-Layth, while the author of Al-Lisān restricted himself to the former and did not attribute it.
