Also: a thing with which one beats, or flogs; the دِرَّة of the Sultán; a whip.

Apparently a whip for flogging criminals. I have not found any Arab who can describe it today; it seems to have been a kind of whip, or scourge, of twisted cords or thongs, used for punishment and in sport, such as is now called فِرْقِلَّة; or a whip made of a strip, or broad strip, of thick and tough hide or the like.

Golius and Freytag describe it as “strophium ex fune aliave re contortum, aut nervus taurinus, similisve res, quibus percuti solet”, Freytag as though from the S and K, in neither of which any such explanation is found.

An Arabic word, well known; or an arabicized word, from the Persian دُرَّهْ. Plural دِرَرٌ.
