Nounسِرْجِينٌ1 sense

Core sense — dung of horses or camels, used for manuregenerated

1dung of horses or other solid-hoofed animals, or fresh dung of camels, sheep and goats—زِبْلٌ

Also of wild oxen and the like; used for manure. Mentioned under سرجن.

A foreign, or Persian, word, originally سَرْكِين [meaning سَرْگِينْ], arabicized; mentioned under سرجن.

It is arabicized by turning the ك [or گ] into ج, and also into ق, so that one says سِرْقِينٌ as well.

As is related to have said: I do not know how to say it, and I say only رَوْثٌ. It has kesr on the first letter so as to agree with Arabic words; fet-h is not allowable, because there is no instance of the measure فَعْلِيلٌ, though the M gives سِرْجِينٌ and سَرْجِينٌ.

The word being arabicized, all its letters should be treated as radical; but many hold the ن to be augmentative, and so mention the word, or the two words, in the present article, as does the author of the Msb.
