طِنْجِرٌ ذ A certain vessel (O, Msb) of copper or brass, (Msb,) in which one cooks, (O, Msb,) nearly resembling a طَبَق, (Msb,) without a cover; (O;) also called ↓ طِنْجِرَةٌ [vulgarly pronounced طَنْجَرَة and تَنْجَرَة, and now applied to a saucepan]: (TA:) خَبِيص [q. v.] is made in it: (K in art. خبص:) an arabicized word; in Pers. پَاتِيلَهْ: (K: [in some copies of the K, and in the O, بَاتِيلَهْ:]) pl. of the former طَنَاجِيرُ (Msb) [and of the latter طَنَاجِرُ. Accord. to the Msb, it is of the measure فِنْعِيلٌ: but accord. to the O and K, the ن is a radical letter.] ― -b2- It is also used by the Arabs of our time as a metonymical appellalation of (tropical:) A coward: or a low, vile, or mean, person: as though they meant thereby a townsman, or villager, who constantly eats in cookingpots and bowls of copper; differing from the people of the desert.
