[See also خُضْرَةٌ.] ― -b2- Also Milk mixed with much water: (S, K:) AZ says that it is like سَمَارٌ, meaning as above, diluted so as to be of a dark, or an ashy, dust-colour (حَتَّى ا@خْضَرَّ): like as the rájiz says, “ جَاؤُوا بِضَيْحٍ هَلْ رَأَيْتَ الذِّئْبَ قَطْ
” [They brought milk mixed with much water. Hast thou ever seen the wolf?]: meaning that the milk was of an ash-colour (أَوْرَق), like the colour of the wolf, by reason of the great quantity of the water: or, as some say, milk and water in the proportion of one third of the former to two thirds of the latter: it is of any milk, that has been kept in a skin or that is fresh, and from any beast: some say that the word is a pl., [or rather a coll. gen. n.,] and that the sing., or n. un., is with ة.
