ذُنَابَى

It is also applied to Four [feathers] in the wing of a bird, after what are called الخَوَفِى. (S.)

It is said in a tradition, مَنْ مَاتَ عَلَى ذُنَابَى طَرِيقٍ فَهُوَ مِنْ أَهْلِهِ, meaning [(assumed tropical:) Whosoever dies] purposing to pursue a way leading to some particular end, [he is to be reckoned as one of the people thereof.] (TA.)

Accord. to Fr and the S, it signifies also A fluid like mucus that falls from the noses of camels: but this is a mistake: the right word, as stated by IB and others, is ذُنَانَى. (L, MF, TA.)
