[Vulgarly pronounced مُرْجَان.]

The ن is said to be an added letter, because there is no Arabic word of the measure فَعْلَالٌ except reduplicative ones, like خَلْخَالٌ; but Az says: I do not know whether it is a triliteral-radical word or a quadriliteral. IKtt asserts it to be of the measure فَعْلَالٌ.
