بُرٌّ

Wheat; and the grain of wheat; synonym قَمْحٌ, (S, * Msb,) or حِنْطَةٌ; (M, K;) but it is a more chaste word than قَمْحٌ and حِنْطَةٌ: (M:) plural of بُرَّةٌ; (S, M;) or [rather] بُرَّةٌ is the n. un. [signifying a grain of wheat, like قَمْحَةٌ]: (IDrd, Msb:) the plural of بُرٌّ is أَبْرَارٌ; (K;) or this plural is allowable on the ground of analogy, according to Mbr, but is disallowed by Sb. (S.) It is said in a prov., (TA,) هُوَ أَقْصَرُ مِنْ برَّةٍ [He, or it, is shorter than a grain of wheat]. (A, TA.) And you say, أَطْعمَنَا ابْنَ بُرَّةٍ He fed us with bread. (A.)
