ذِرْوَةٌ

and ↓ ذُرْوَةٌ The upper, or uppermost, part of a thing (S, M, Msb, K) of any kind; (M, Msb;) and so, according to Et-Takee Esh-Shemenee, ↓ ذَرْوَةٌ: (TA:) and particularly, of a camel's hump, (S, M,) and of the head: (M:) and a camel's hump itself: (TA:) plural ذُرًى. (S, TA.) It is said in a tradition, أَتَى بِإِبِلٍ غُرَرِ الذُّرَى [or غُرِّ الذُّرَى?] He brought camels having white humps. (TA.) And in another tradition, عَلَى ذِرْوَةِ كُلِّ بَعِيرِ شَيْطَانُ [On the hump of every camel is a devil]. (TA.) And in a prov., مَا زَالَ يَفْتِلُ فِى الذِّرْوَةِ وَالغَارِبِ [He ceased not to twist the fur of the upper part and the fore part of the hump: originating from, or occurring in, a tradition, which see explained in article غرب]: it means, (tropical:) he ceased not to render familiar, or tame, [or rather to endeavour to do so,] and to remove refractoriness. (TA.)

[Hence,] تَزَوَّجَ مِنْهُمْ فِى الذِّرْوَةِ وَ النَّاصِيَةِ (T, M *) (assumed tropical:) He married among the noble and high of them. (T.)
