A,) and which the woodfretter can hardly, or not at all, wear, or waste; (
A,
Msb;) and he says that its
pl. is سِيجَانٌ: (
Msb: [but this is said in the
A only to be
pl. of ساج meaning “ a rounded, wide, طَيْلَسَان: ”]) some say that it resembles ebony, but is less black: (
Msb:) accord to the
A, Noah's ark was made of it: but several authors say that it is related in the Book of the Law revealed to Moses that it was made of the صَنَوْبَر [or pine-tree]; and some say that the صنوبر is a species of the ساج: (
TA:)
AHn describes it, (
O,
TA,) on the authority of one who had seen it in its places of growth, (
O,) as a species of tree that grows to a great size, tall and wide, having leaves like the shields of the Deylem (الدَّيْلَم,
q. v.), with one of which leaves a man may cover himself, and it will protect him from the rain, and it has a sweet odour, like the odour of the leaves of the walnut, and is fine and soft, or smooth; (
O,
TA,) the elephants [he says] are fond of it, and of the leaves of the banana, both of which they eat: it is not of the trees that grow in the land of the Arabs, nor does it grow in any country except those of India and the Zenj; nor does any tree grow so tall, nor any so big: (
