Or that verb, and the first, and the form 2 verb, said of young, or unweaned, camels: they had purulent pustules in their necks.

Or it means: they had purulent pustules, like the skin eruption called قُوَبَآء, coming out here and there on their lips and legs and discharging a fluid like yellow water; the healthy camels are then cauterized so that the diseased may not pass the disease on to them.

on this sense All three verbs, said of camels: they had a disease that made their fur fall off, so that the skin appeared and shone.

Core sense — the mange, or scab; a vice, or fault; evil, or mischiefgenerated

1the mange, or scabعُرٌّ
the mange, or scabعُرَّةٌ
the mange, or scabعَرَّةٌ

The mange, or scab; see also عَرَرٌ.

Or عَرٌّ has this meaning; but عُرٌّ, with damm, means purulent pustules in the necks of young, or unweaned, camels.

Also a certain disease that makes the camel's fur fall off, so that the skin appears and shines, as some say; or purulent pustules, like the skin eruption called قُوَبَآء, which comes out in camels here and there on their lips and legs, discharging a fluid like yellow water; the healthy camels are then cauterized so that the diseased may not pass the disease on to them.

En-Nábighah says, addressing En-Noamán Ibn-El-Mundhir: [And you have charged me with the crime, or offence, of a man other than myself, and left him like the one that has the disease called عُرّ, while another than he is cauterized as he pastures at will]

shāhid

Whoever reads العَرّ in relating this verse is wrong, for cauterization is not used as a guard against the mange, or scab.

1.1figurative · مجاز — inferred

Hence, apparently: a vice, or fault, or the like. [See also عُرَّة.]

Core sense — a place of mange; a crime, or sin; a cause of being reviledgenerated

1

A place of عَرّ, i. e. of mange, or scab: this is the primary meaning.

1.1the region of the sky beyond the Milky Way, toward the North Poleالمَعَرَّةُ

Or, as some say, المَعَرَّةُ is the name of a certain star, or group of stars, below the مَجَرَّة [or Milky Way, apparently meaning when the latter, as seen from Arabia, stretches across the sky above the North Pole].

The Milky Way is المَجَرَّة. The region is so called because of the number of stars in it, just as the sky is called الجَرْبَآءُ because of its many stars, these being compared to scabs on the body of a man.

[I have alighted between the مَعَرَّة and the مَجَرَّة]نَزَلْتُ بَيْنَ المَعَرَّةِ وَالمَجَرَّةِ

To this and the مَجَرَّة a man alluded when, asked about the place where he alighted and stayed, he told the inquirer that he had alighted between two great and numerous tribes.

Also a foul, or abominable, thing; a cause of grief or vexation; annoyance, or hurt, or a thing by which one is annoyed or hurt, synonym أَذًى; or أَذِيَّةٌ, displeasing, grieving, or vexing conduct; and the same as شِدَّةٌ [apparently meaning violence, or the like], mentioned between the meanings of إِثْمٌ and أَذِيَّةٌ.
