غَضَفَةٌ ذ A certain bird: or a قَطَاة [or sandgrouse]: (IDrd, O, K:) or the قَطَاة termed جُونِيَّة: pl. ↓ غَضَفٌ [or rather this, if correct, is a coll. gen. n.]: J says that ↓ الغَضَفُ [thus in the TA, but in my and other copies of the S ↓ الغُضْفُ , for which Golius appears to have found الغُضُفُ,] signifies القَطَا الجُونُ; but IB says that it is correctly القطا الجُونِىُّ. (TA. [See جُونِىٌّ: and particularly what is said at the end of the paragraph thus headed.]) -A2- Also An [eminence of the kind called] أَكَمَة. (O, K, TA. [For اكمة, in this case, the TK has most strangely substituted اكمه, meaning أَكْمَهُ, for it explains it as signifying “ blind from the birth; ” and this, though an obvious mistake, Freytag asserts to be the right reading and explanation.])
