Nounالنَّسَا1 sense

Core sense — the vein of the thigh, running from the hip to the hoofgenerated

1

Commonly عِرْقُ النَّسَا; apparently the sciatic vein: the portion, in the thigh, of the vein which in the back is called the وَتِين, and which extends to the shank, where it is called the صَافِن. IAth, under أَبْهَرُ.

Or the صاَفِن and the عرق النسا are two branches of one عِرْق, that is, one vein. Ibn-Seenà, volume 1, book 3, page 608, where the opening of each of these to let blood is mentioned.

In a solid-hoofed animal, النسا is a vein proceeding from the hip, or haunch, lying within each thigh, then passing by the hock, so as to reach the hoof.

When the breast is fat, each of its thighs becomes cleft by two large portions of flesh, and the نسا runs between them and is visible.

[Today it seems to be applied by some to the sciatic nerve: and عِرْقُ النَّسَا, as also النَسَا by itself, often means sciatica, or hip-gout: see نِقْرِسٌ, and also شَنِجٌ.]
