Al-Lughoos, like jurwal, was neglected by Al-Jawhari. Al-Farra' said: Al-Lu'oos, with 'ayn, is a dialectical variant for it, and it refers to the eager, greedy, fast-eating wolf, and wolves are lughaus, and Al-Layth cited the preceding saying of Dhu al-Rummah.

واللغوس: اللص الختول الخبيث، ويوصف به الذئب أيضا.

And al-lughoos: the cunning, wicked thief, and it is also used to describe the wolf.

واللغوس: عشبة ترعى، والذي في نص أبي حنيفة: عشبة من المرعى، قال: واللغوس أيضا: الرقيق من النبات الخفيف الناعم الريان.

And al-lughoos: a pasture herb. What is in Abu Hanifa's text is: a herb from the pasture. He said: And al-lughoos also: the tender, light, soft, and succulent vegetation.

وقيل: هو عشب لين رطب يؤكل سريعا.

And al-mutari'id: that which shakes from its lushness. This is taken from the saying of Ibn Ahmar describing a bull: (I surprised it with my eye, and it persisted in its gaze... meaning a tender, lughoos, mutari'id plant).

ويروى متربد ومعناه: أني نظرت إليه وشغلته عني.

And it is narrated mutarabbid, and its meaning is: that I looked at it and it distracted me.

And al-mutari'id: an adjective for it, meaning it shakes from its lushness. After this, the interpretation of Ibn Ahmar's words is not hidden, so it has no place here, and he was mistaken in it. Look into it and ponder.

والملغوس، كمطربل: الطعام النيء الذي لم ينضج، وهو الملهوج.

And al-malghoos, like mutarbil: the raw food that has not been cooked, and it is al-malhooj.

Ibn Al-Sikkit said this, and others said: malghoos meat: red and not cooked.
