ضُبَّارٌ ذ A sort of tree resembling very nearly that of the بَلُّوط, [i. e. the oak,] (AHn, O, K,) the wood of which is good as fuel, like that of the مَظّ: its fresh firewood, when kindled, sends forth a sound like that of مَخَارِيق [pl. of مِخْرَاقٌ, q. v.]; and therefore they use it to do so at the thickets wherein are lions, which flee in consequence: (AHn, O:) the n. un. is with ة. (AHn, O, K.)
