سُنْـ
ـدُسٌ Thin, or fine, دِيبَاج [or silk brocade]: (
Th,
M,
Bd and
Jel in xviii. 30,
Jel in xliv. 53,
Msb,
K,
TA:) or thin, or fine, حَرِير [
q. v.]: (
Bd in xliv.:) opposed to إِسْتَبْرَقٌ: (
TA:) or
i. q. بِزْيَوْنٌ [
expl. by
IB as meaning thin, or fine, ديباج: so in the
TA in art. بزن]: (
S:) or a kind of بزيون; (
Lth,
K,
TA;) made of [the kind of down called] مِرْعِزَّى: (
Lth,
TA:) or a kind of بُرُود [
pl. of بُرْدٌ,
q. v.]: (
M,
K:) [
accord. to Golius, præstans et subtile panni serici genus; as on the authority of Ibn-Maaroof: and Attalicus pannus, aurum argentumve intextum habens; as on the authority of
J, who, however, explains it only by the word بِزْيَوْنٌ: it is mentioned in the
S and
Msb in art. سـ
ـدس; and in the latter, is said to be of the measure فُنْعُلٌ; but
accord. to the
K, the ن is a radical letter:] it is [said to be] an arabicized word, without contradiction, (
Lth,
K,) as well as إِسْتَبْرَقٌ: (
Lth:) but both these words occur in the
Kur-án, and Esh-
Sháfi'ee and others deny that any arabicized word occurs therein: [though they are opposed by
Bd (xvii. 37) and others:] some say that they are instances of the agreement of different languages. (
MF.)
