بَرْصٌ

, with fet-h, A certain small reptile (دُوَيْبَّةٌ) that is in the well. (Ibn-'Abbád, Sgh, K. [In the CK, فى البَعِيرِ is put by mistake for فِى البِيءْرِ.]) [Perhaps it is the same as is called بُرْص, (see this word below,) which may be a vulgar pronunciation; and if so, this may be the reason why the author of the K has added, contra. to his usual rule, “with fet-h.”]
