الفِرْسِنُ

الفِرْسِنُ, of the camel, is What corresponds to the حَافِر [or hoof] of the horse or a similar beast: (Ṣ, Ḳ:) or the part which is below the رُسْغ [or pastern] and in which are the bones called سُلَامَى [q. v.]: and sometimes it is ‡ of the sheep or goat: it is of the fem. gender: and the pl. is فَرَاسِنُ: (TA:) accord. to Ibn-Es-Sarráj, the ن is augmentative, because it is from فَرَسْتُ, (Ṣ, TA,) and [therefore] it has been mentioned before [in art. فرس, in which see more]. (Ṣ.)
