جَرَّةٌ

[A jar;] a well-known vessel; (Msb;) an earthen vessel; a vessel made of potters' clay: (T, IDrd, * S, * K: *) or anything made of clay: (Mgh:) diminutive جُرَيْرَةٌ: (TA:) plural جِرَارٌ (T, S, Mgh, Msb, K) and جَرَّاتٌ (Msb) and جَرٌّ, (T, S, Msb, K,) [or this last is rather a coll. gen. n., signifying pottery, or jars, &c.,] like تَمْرٌ in relation to تَمْرَةٌ; or, according to some, this is a dialect var. of جَرَّةٌ. (Msb.) Beverage of the kind called نَبِيذ made in such a vessel is forbidden in a tradition: (Mgh, TA:) but according to IAth, the tradition means a vessel of this kind glazed within, because the beverage acquires strength, and ferments, more quickly in a glazed earthen vessel.
