رِيَاغٌ

1.
, as in the [T and] O and Tekmileh and L; in the K, erroneously, رِيغٌ; (TA;) Dust, or dust raised: (Sh, K:) or, as some say, (TA,) dust, or earth, (K, TA,) in a general sense: or such as is comminuted. (TA.) Ru-beh says, describing an ass [i. e. a wild ass] and his females,
وَإِنْ أَثَارَتْ مِنْ رِيَاغٍ سَمْلَقَا
تَهْوِى حَوَامِيهَا بِهِ مُدَقَّقَا
using an inversion, for he means أَثَارَتْ رِيَاغًا مِنْ سَمْلَقٍ [i. e. And if they raise earth from a level plain, the sides of their hoofs make it to fall down reduced to powder]. (TA.)
2.
