الــغَوْر:
بالفتح ثم السكون، وآخره راء، والــغور:
المنخفض من الأرض، وقال الزّجّاج: الــغور أصله ما تداخل وما هبط، فمن ذلك غور تهامة يقال للرجل: قد أغار إذا دخل تهامة، وغور كل شيء:
قعره، وكلّ ما وصفنا به تهامة فهو من صفة الــغور لأنهما اسمان لمسمّى واحد، قال أعرابيّ
أراني ساكنا من بعد نجد ... بلاد الــغور والبلد التهام
فربّتما مشيت بحرّ نجد ... وربّتما ضربت به الخيا
وربّتما رأيت بحرّ نجد ... على اللأواء أخلاقا كراما
أليس اليوم آخر عهد نجد؟ ... بلى فاقروا على نجد السلاما
قال الأزهري: الــغور تهامة وما يلي اليمن، وقال الأصمعي: ما بين ذات عرق إلى البحر غور تهامة، وطرف تهامة: من قبل الحجاز مدارج العرج وأولها من قبل نجد مدارج ذات عرق، والمدارج:
الثنايا الغلاظ، وقال الباهلي: كلّ ما انحدر سيله مغرّبا عن تهامة فهو غور، وقال الأصمعي: يقال غار الرجل يــغور إذا سار في بلاد الــغور، وهكذا قال الكسائي وأنشد قول جرير:
يا أمّ طلحة ما رأينا مثلكم ... في المنجدين ولا بــغور الغائر
لو كان من أغار لكان مغيرا، فلما قال الغائر دلّ على أنه من غار يــغور، وسئل الكسائي عن قول الأعشى:
نبيّ يرى ما لا ترون، وذكره ... أغار، لعمري، في البلاد وأنجدا
فقال: ليس هذا من الــغور وإنما هو من أغار إذا أسرع، وكذلك قال الأصمعي، وروى ابن الأنباري أن الأصمعي كان يروي هذا البيت:
نبيّ يرى ما لا ترون، وذكره ... لعمري غار في البلاد وأنجدا
وروي عن ابن الأعرابي أنه قال: غار القوم وأغاروا إذا انحدروا نحو الــغور، قال: والعرب تقول: ما أدري أغار فلان أم أنجد أي ما أدري أتى الــغور أم أتى نجدا، وكذلك قال الفراء واحتج بقول الأعشى.
والــغور: غور الأردنّ بالشام بين البيت المقدّس ودمشق، وهو منخفض عن أرض دمشق وأرض البيت المقدس ولذلك سمي الــغور، طوله مسيرة ثلاثة أيام، وعرضه نحو يوم، فيه نهر الأردنّ وبلاد وقرى كثيرة، وعلى طرفه طبرية وبحيرتها ومنها مأخذ مياهها، وأشهر بلاده بيسان بعد طبرية، وهو وخم شديد الحر غير طيب الماء وأكثر ما يزرع فيه قصب السكر، ومن قراه أريحا مدينة الجبّارين، وفي طرفه الغربي البحيرة المنتنة وفي طرفه الشرقي بحيرة طبرية. وغور العماد: موضع في ديار بني سليم. والــغور أيضا غور ملح: ماء لبني العدوية، قال الهيش بن شراحيل المازني مازن بني عمرو بن تميم:
فان قتلت أخي، إذ حمّ مقتله، ... فلست أول عبد ربّه قتلا
لقيته طيّبا نفسا بميتته ... لما رأى الموت لا نكسا ولا وكلا
وقد دعوتك يوم الــغور من ملح ... إلى النزال فلم تنزل كما نزلا
فلا عدمت امرأ هالتك خيفته ... حتى حسبت المنايا تسبق الأجلا
ولا أسنّة قوم أرشدوك بها ... سبل الفرار فلم تعدل بها سبلا
وكان الهيش من قتّال بني مازن وشجعانها وشعرائها، والأيام والأحاديث في الــغور كثيرة، وقالت ماجدة البكرية:
ألا يا جبال الــغور خلّين بيننا ... وبين الصّبا يجري علينا شنينها
لقد طال ما جالت ذراكنّ بيننا ... وبين ذرى نجد فما نستبينها
وقال جميل:
يــغور، إذا غارت، فؤادي وإن تكن ... بنجد يهم منّي الفؤاد إلى نجد
أتيت بني سعد صحيحا مسلّما، ... وكان سقام القلب حبّ بني سعد
وقال الأحوص:
وإنك إن تنزح بك الدار آتكم ... وشيكا، وإن يصعد بك العيس أصعد
وإن غرت غرنا حيث كنت وغرتم، ... أو أنجدت أنجدنا مع المتنجّد
متى تنزلي عينا بأرض وتلعة ... أزرك ويكثر حيث كنت تردّدي
