Nounغَرْفٌ1 sense

Core sense — a species of tree used for tanning; skins tanned with itgenerated

1a species of trees with which one tans—غَرَفٌ

This latter form is mentioned by Yaakoob.

When dry, [said to be] what are termed ثُمَام. [But perhaps this statement applies particularly to غَرَفٌ, which see below; and see also ثُمَامٌ.]

A'Obeyd: called غَرْفٌ and غَلْفٌ [q. v.].

AHn says the غرف is a species of trees from which bows are made [see عِضَاهٌ], and no one tans with it; but Kz says its leaves may be used for tanning, though bows are made of its branches.

Aboo-Mohammad mentions, on the authority of As, that one tans with the leaves of the غَرَف and not with its branches.

El-Báhilee says that غَرْفٌ means certain skins, not such as are termed قَرَظِيَّة [i. e. not tanned with قَرَظ] but tanned, in Hejer, in this way: one takes sprigs of the أَرْطَى, puts them in a mortar and pounds them, then throws dates upon them, so that an altered odour comes from them; after that a certain quantity is laded out for each skin, and the skin is tanned with it. The term غَرْف is applied to what is laded out, and to every quantity of skin from that mash, to one and to all alike.

But Az says the غَرْف with which skins are tanned is well known, one of the trees of the desert, and he says: I have seen it; and my own view is that the skins termed غَرْفِيَّة are so termed in relation to the species of trees called the غَرْف, not to what is laded out.

As says that الغَرْفُ, with the ر sākin, means certain skins that are brought from El-Bahreyn.

So according to AA, or IAar; it is not used for tanning. Az says that what IAar says is correct.

AHn says that when it becomes dry, and one chews it, its odour is likened to that of camphor.

A'Obeyd: or one of the species of ثُمَام that resembles the rushes of which brooms are made, and with which leathern water-bags are covered to protect them from the sun so that the water becomes cool.

The ism waḥda is formed with ة.
