(S.) The Arabs used to say, in the time of paganism, when a daughter was born to one of them, هَنِيْئا لَكَ النَّافِجَةُ May she who is to increase thy property by her dowry be productive of enjoyment to thee! (S.) A4: نَافِجَةٌ A bag, follicle, or vesicle, of musk: (K:) pl. نَوَافِجُ: (S:) an arabicized word, (S, K,) from [the Persian] نَافَهْ; and therefore some say that it is properly written نَافَجَةٌ: or, accord. to the Msb, it is Arabic, and a bag of musk is so called because of its high value, from نَفَجَهُ “ he magnified him, or it: ” but this requires consideration.
