رَمَكٌ

In the saying of Ru-beh,

يَرْبِضُ فِى الرَّوْثِ كَبِرْذَوْنِ الرَّمَكْ

[That lies down upon his breast in the dung of horses, or similar beasts, like the jade, or hack, of the رَمَك], AA says, الرمك, here, is from the Pers. رَمَهْ [which means a “ herd," ” “ flock, ” “ troop, ” or the like]; and he adds that the people's saying that it means الرَّمَكَة is a mistake. (O, TA. [Perhaps, however, AA knew not رَمَكٌ as a coll. gen. n. of which رَمَكَةٌ is the n. un.; for as such it seems to me more reasonable to regard it in this instance.])
