جَفِيرٌ

A kind of quiver like the كِنَانَة, but wider, (Lth, S, TA,) in which are put many arrows: (Lth, TA:) or a [quiver of the kind called] جَعْبَة [q. v.], of skins, in which is no wood: or of wood, in which are no skins; (K;) or in which is no skin; as in some good lexicons: (TA:) or of skins, and slit in its side, that the wind may enter it, and the feathers in consequence may not be eaten: (TA: [see also جَشِيرٌ:]) or the same as the جعبة and the كنانة: (El-Ahmar, TA:) or a quiver for نَبْل, wide, of wood. (Ham p. 358.) Hence, لَيْسَ فِى جَفِيرِهِ غَيْرُ زَنْدَيْنِ [There is not in his quiver aught save two pieces of wood for producing fire]: a prov. applied to him in whom is no good. (Meyd.)
