baqarN bqr qr a gen. n., (S, Msb,) a word of well-known meaning, (S, Msb, K,) [The bovine genus; the ox, or bull, and cow; and oxen, or bulls, and cows; neat; black cattle; ] applied to the domestic and the wild: (TA:) [but the wild have also distinctive appellations, as will be seen below:] n. un. baqarapN , (S, Msb, K, [but in the K it is said that baqarN is pl. of baqarapN ,]) which is applied to the male and the female; (S, Msb, K;) the p being added only to restrict it to unity: (S, Msb:) the pl. of baqarN is A^aboqurN [a pl. of pauc.]; (M,) and A^aboqaArN , meaning herds of oxen, or bulls, or cows: (Msb and TA in art. Abl :) and the pl. of baqarapN is baqaraAtN (S, Msb, K) and buqurN and buq~aArN (K) and bawaAqiru (As, T, K) and ↓ A^uboquwrN ; (K;) [or rather this last is a quasi-pl. n.;] and the following [also] are quasi-pl. ns., namely, ↓ bayoquwrN , (K,) which is syn. with baqarN , (S,) and ↓ baqiyrN , (K,) or this signifies a collection, or herd, of baqar , (S,) and ↓ baAqirN , (K,) or this signifies a collection, or herd, of baqar with their pastors, (Lth, S,) and ↓ baAquwrN , and ↓ baAquwrapN , (K,) or this last is syn. with baqarapN in the dial. of the people of El-Yemen: (S:) or ↓ baAquwrN and ↓ yaboquwrN and ↓ A^uboquwrN are all syn. with baqarN ; and so, accord. to Ktr, is ↓ baAquwrapN . (Mgh.) ― -b2- baqaru AlwaHo$i [and Albaqaru AlwaHo$iY~u signify The wild ox, or bull, and cow; and wild oxen, or bulls, and cows, collectively: n. un. baqarapu AlwaHo$i and Albaqarapu AlwaHo$iy~apu ; masc. and fem.: in Egypt, these appellations are applied to the antilope defassa of modern zoologists: so says Sir Gardner Wilkinson; and to this, I believe, they generally apply in the poems &c. of the early Arabs: it is a species of bovine antelope: in Barbary, it seems that the animal thus called is another species of bovine antelope, or perhaps a variety of the former; it is said to be what is termed by Pallas antilope bubalis; by others, alcephalus bubalis, or acronotus bubalis; and this is said to come occasionally to the Nile: but the Arabic appellations given above are employed with much laxity: thus we find baqaru AlwaHo$i explained as meaning] a kind of animal of which there are four different species: the first called mihiA [i. e. mahFA , a coll. gen. n. of which the n. un. is mahaApN ]; the second, Ayl [i. e. A_iy~alN ]; the third yHmwr [i. e. yaHomuwrN ], or yAmwr [i. e. yaA^omuwrN ]; the fourth, vyvl [or vayotalN ], and also wEl [i. e. waEolN ]: (Ed-Demeeree, cited by De Sacy, erroneously written by him “ Domaïri, ” in his Chrest. Ar. sec. ed. ii. 435 et seq.:) or what is called in Persian kwzn [or Gawazono (see also A_iy~alN in art. Awl )]; it has a great horn, with branches; an additional branch growing upon its horn every year; and its horn is solid, thus differing from the horns of other animals, for their horns are hollow: when it hears singing, and the sounds of musical instruments, it listens thereto, and then it takes no care to guard itself from the arrows, by reason of its intense delight therein: when it raises its ear, it hears sounds; and when it relaxes it, it hears not anything. (Kzw: also cited by De Sacy, ubi suprà.) The Arabs regard baqar [meaning bqr AlwH$ ] as ominous of evil, because of the sharpness of their horns. (Ham p. 285.) ― -b3- milo'u masoki Albaqarapi [ The quantity that fills the hide of the bull, or cow, ] means (tropical:) a large quantity.
