مُذَكَّرٌ

[A masculine word; a word made mas- culine].

مُذَكَّرَةٌ A she-camel resembling a hecamel in make and in disposition. (S.) And also, (K, TA,) or ↓ مُذْكَرَةٌ, (according to the CK,) A woman who makes herself like a male; (K;) as also ↓ ذَكَرَةٌ, (L, and so in a copy of the K,) or ↓ ذَكِرَةٌ, (so in another copy of the K, and in the TA,) or ↓ ذَكْرَةٌ, (so in the CK,) and ↓ مُتَذَكِّرَةٌ. (K.)

مُذَكَّرَةُ الثُّنْيَا A she-camel having a large head, (K, TA,) like that of a he-camel: (TA:) because her head is one of the parts that are excepted in the game of chance [called المَيْسِر] for the man who has sold her: [therefore those parts are termed الثُّنْيَا:] (K:) or resembling the make of the male in [the largeness of] the head and legs. (Th, M in article ثنى.)

And يَوْمٌ مُذَكَّرٌ (tropical:) A day that is severe, distressing, or hard to be borne; as also ↓ مُذْكِرٌ: (K, TA:) or in which a severe fight, or slaughter, has taken place. (A, TA.) [See also ذَكَرٌ, last sentence but one.]

And دَاهِيَةٌ مُذَكَّرَةٌ (tropical:) A severe calamity or misfortune; (A, K;) and so ↓ مُذْكِرٌ [without ة because it is from this epithet applied to a she-camel as meaning "bringing forth a male;" for her doing so was disliked, as has been mentioned voce ذَكَرٌ]: (K:) or the latter means which none can withstand but strong, courageous, stubborn men. (TA.)

-A2- See also ذَكَرٌ, in two places, in the latter half of the paragraph.
