Derived nouns 3

Nounالبِخَاعُ1 sense

Core sense — a vein, or nerve, in the back-bone, lying within the back of the neckgenerated

1a certain vein, or nerve—عِرْق

It is in the صُلْب [or back-bone] — so Z in the Fáïk and in the Ksh, and the K — lying within the قَفَا [or back of the neck].

Bd says it lies within the فَقَار [or vertebrae]; but this is said to be a copying error, the right reading being قفا, as in the Ksh.

The K says it runs into the bone (or, in the CK, bones) of the neck, but this is a mistake.

Z asserts, in his Fáïk and in the Ksh, that it is different from the نُخَاع with ن, which is the white cord inside the bone of the neck, reaching to the back-bone.

IAth says: I have searched long in dictionaries, and in books of medicine and anatomy, but have not found البخاع with ب mentioned in any of them.
