TA,) A youthful he-camel; one in a state of youthful vigour:
fem. with ة; (
S,

tropical:) a young man;] and بَكْرَةٌ to (
tropical:) a young woman: (
TA:) the
pl. (of pauc.,
S) is أَبْكُرٌ; (
S,
K;) and ↓ أُبَيْكِرُونَ occurs as
pl. of the
dim. of أَبْكُرٌ; (
S,
TA;) and (
pl. of mult.,
S,
TA) بِكَارٌ, (
S,
Msb,) like as فِرَاخٌ is

pl. of بَكْرَةٌ; (

K) and بِكَارَةٌ; (
S,
Msb,
K;) and [
quasi-pl. n.]
↓ بَكَارَةٌ. (
K.) Hence the well-known
prov., (
TA,) صَدَقَنِى سِنَّ بَكْرِهِ, and سِنُّ بَكْرِهِ, meaning He hath told me what is in his mind, and what his ribs infold: a saying originating from the following fact: a man bargained with another for a youthful camel (بَكْر), and said, “What is his age (سِنُّهُ)? ” the other answered, “He is in his ninth year: ”
then the young camel took fright and ran away: whereupon his owner said to him, هِدَعْ هِدَعْ; and this is an expression by which are quieted young ones, (
K,) of the camel; (
TA;) so when the purchaser heard it, he said, صدقنى سنّ بكره [He hath told me truly the age, or as to the age, of his youthful camel: or the age of his youthful camel has spoken truly to me]: if سنّ is in the
accus. case, the meaning [of the verb] is عَرَّفَنِى, (
K,) and سنّ is in the
accus. case as a second
objective complement; (
TA;) or خَبَرَ سِنِّ is meant; [in the
CK, erroneously, خَبَرَ;] or فِى سِنِّ; the
prefixed noun [خَبَرَ] or the proposition [فِى] being suppressed [and سنّ being therefore in the
accus. case]: but if سنّ is in the
nom. case, veracity is attributed to the [animal's] age, by an amplification: (
K:) or, as some say, the buyer said to the owner of the camel, “How many years has he? ” and he told him; and he looked at the teeth of the camel, and found him to be as he had said; whereupon he said, صدقنى سِنُّ بكره. (
