وُعُول, does not quit the mountain, and its horns have branches: (T, Mgh: *) he says that the وعول are dusky, or dingy, or of a hue inclining to black and dust-colour, with whiteness in their lower parts; and the ثَيَاتِل [plural of ثَيْتَل] are like them in their colours, and only distinguished from them by the horns; the وعل having long horns, which extend backwards until they meet over his tail: (T:) also a species of [the bovine antelope called] بَقَرُ الوَحْشِ, (M, K,) that abides in the mountains.
