(TA. [But عَشْرَنَ and سَبْعَنَ , though these are said to be post-classical, and, accord. to some, عَلْوَنَ , may be mentioned, and perhaps some other, as being of this measure.]) ― -b2- Also A certain plant, (K, TA,) white, accord. to Th, (TA,) like the فُطْر [or toadstool], resembling the فِقْع [a white and soft sort of كَمْء ], (K, TA,) which dries, having a round form: or a species of the كَمْأَة , of the measure of a span, or a little less than that; good, or pleasant, while fresh: (TA:) pl. عَرَاجِينُ .
