inf. n. فَأْرٌ, (
TK,) He dug; (

Msb;) [a
coll. gen. n.:]
n. un. with ة: (
Lth,
T:) [in the
S and O and
Msb, فَأْرٌ is said to be
pl. of فَأْرَةٌ, but in the last is added, like تَمْرَةٌ and تَمْرٌ, showing that by
pl. is meant
coll. gen. n.:] the
pl. of فأر, (
Lth,
T,
M,
K,) or of فأرة, (
O,
Msb,) is فِئْرَانٌ (
Lth,
T,
M,
O,
K,
Msb) and فِئِرَةٌ: (

K:)
accord. to
IAar, (
T,
TA,) ↓ فُؤَرٌ, like صُرَدٌ, (
O,
K,
TA,) is applied to the male: (
T,
O,
K,
TA:) but this last word occurs in the phrase الفَأْر الفُؤَر, [in which الفأر is evidently used in a sense mentioned below, namely, “the muscles,” as is indicated in the
T and
O,] and,
accord. to some, [الفُؤَر is a
corroborative epithet, for they say that] this phrase is like لَيْلٌ لَائِلٌ and يَوْمٌ أَيْوَمُ: (
O:) فَأْرَةٌ is applied [
accord. to some] to the female; (
M;) or [more correctly] to the male and the female, (
M,
K,) like as حَمَامَةٌ is applied to the male and the female of the [genus] حَمَام. (
M,
TA.)
b2: Also Musk: (
M,
K:) this is sometimes called فَأْرٌ because it is from the [animal, or from a kind of animal, called] فَأْر, as some say. (

b3: And فَأْرَةُ المِسْكِ signifies The bag, follicle, or vesicle, (نَافِجَة,

O,
K, or نَافِقَة,

T,
S,
M,
O,
K:) and is also without ء; (
M,
Msb;) or it should correctly be mentioned in art. فور, [as being called فَارَةٌ] because of the spreading (فَوَرَان) of its odour: or it may be with ء because it has the appearance, or form, of the [animal called] فَأْرَة. (

K.) It was said to an Arab of the desert أَتَهْمِزُ الفَأْرَةَ, (
K,
TA, in the

TA.)
b4: [Hence,
app., by a synecdoche, فَأْرَةُ المِسْكِ is applied to The mush-animal, or Tibet-musk; moschus moschiferus:] El-
Jáhidh says, I asked a perfumer, of [the sect of] the Moatezileh, respecting [the animal called] فأرة المسك, and he said, it is not a mouse, or rat, (فأرة,) but is more like a young gazelle: it is found in the region of Tubbat [or Tibet]; and is hunted; and the man who catches it binds tightly its navel, [or rather its umbilical follicle,] which being pendent, the blood collects in it; then it is slaughtered; and when it is quiet, he cuts out the bound navel, and buries it in barley (شعير) until the congealed blood becomes converted into strong-scented musk. (
TA.)
b5: And فَأْرَةُ الإِبِلِ signifies The sweet odour of the camels, [likened to that of the vesicle of musk,] which diffuses itself from them when they have pastured upon the herbs and their blossoms, (
S,
O,) or, as some say, upon the [plant called]
خُزَامَى [
q. v.], (
O,) and then drunk, and returned from the water, with their skins moist: (
S, O:) so says Yaakoob. (
S.) Thus in a verse cited
voce ذَفِرٌ. (
S, O. [Therefore فَأْرَةٌ ذَفْرَآءُ should there be rendered A pungent sweet odour like that of a vesicle of musk. But see فَارَة, in art. فور.])
A2: الفَأْرُ signifies also (assumed
tropical:) The muscles: (
T, O:) and فَأْرُ المَتْنِ (assumed
