قَرْحٌ

and قُرْحٌ A wound; (L;) the bite of a weapon, and of a similar thing that wounds the body: (L, K: [but in some copies of the K, for عَضُّ السِّلَاحِ وَنَحْوِهِ مِمَّا يَجْرَحُ البَدَنَ (which is the reading in the CK), we find عضّ السلاح وَنَحْوُهُ ممّا يَخْرُجُ بِالبَدَنِ, and the L and TA combine the two readings, the latter whereof gives a second signification, which will be found below:]) i. q. جُرْحٌ [with which جَرْحٌ is held by many to be synonym]: (TA:) they are two dialect vars., (S, Msb,) like ضَعْفٌ and ضُعْفٌ, (S,) and جَهْدٌ and جُهْدٌ, (Fr, Msb, TA,) and وَجْدٌ and وُجْدٌ; (Fr, TA;) the former of the dialect of El-Hijáz: (Msb:) or the former is a verbal noun and the latter is a simple subst.: (L, Msb:) or the former signifies as above; and the latter signifies its pain: (A:) or the latter seems to bear this latter signification; and the former, to signify wounds themselves: (Yaakoob, TA:) [and the like is said in the L and K:]) [and thus used in a plural sense, the former is a coll. gen. n.;] and its n. un. is قَرْحَةٌ; and plural قُرُوحٌ: (L:) one says, بِهِ قُرْحٌ مِنْ قَرْحٍ In him is pain from a wound; (A;) or from wounds. (L.)

قَرْحٌ also signifies Pustules, or small swellings, when they have become corrupt; (L, K;) [i. e. purulent pustules; and imposthumes, ulcers, or sores: and so قُرْحٌ according to the L and some copies of the K, as shown above; but this seems to be of doubtful authority: قَرْحٌ in this sense is a coll. gen. n.:] its n. un. is قَرْحَةٌ; and plural قُرُوحٌ. (S.) Imra-el-Keys (the poet, TA) was called ذُو القُرُوحِ because the King of the Greeks sent to him a poisoned shirt, from the wearing of which his body became affected with purulent pustules, or ulcers, or sores, (تَقَرَّحَ,) and he died: (S, K, * TA:) or, as some say, he was called ذُو الفُرُوجٍ, with ف and ج; because he left only daughters. (Es-Suyootee, TA.)

Also, (according to the K,) or قُرْحٌ, (as in the L,) A severe scab or mange, that destroys young weaned camels; (L, K;) or that attacks young weaned camels, and from which they scarcely ever, or never, recover: so says Lth: Az, however, says that this is a mistake; but that قُرْحَةٌ signifies a certain disease that attacks camels, explained below. (L.)
