Paper; synonym كَاغَدٌ: (K:) or such as is made of the
بَرْدِىّ [or papyrus], found in Egypt: (TA:) [and particularly a roll, or scroll, thereof: see also طُومَارٌ, and سُرْفَةٌ:] what one writes upon: (S, Msb:) also written قُرْطَاسٌ; (S, Msb, K;) but the former is the better known, (Msb), or the former only is of established authority, for El-Járabardee says the contrary of the latter; (MF;) and قَرْطَاسٌ; (Lh, ISd, K;) but this is not mentioned by most of the lexicographers; (MF;) and
قَرْطَسٌ signifies the same; (AZ, S, Msb, K;) and so does
قِرْطَسٌ. (K [apparently on the authority of El-Fárábee and Aboo-'Alyà; but the names are imperfectly written in the TA.])
