هزج هزر هزرب


هَزَارٌ

هَزَارٌ [The nightingale;] a certain bird, (Ḳ. TA,) the same that is called عَنْدَلِيبٌ, (Ṣ, Ḳ, art. عندلب,) of sweet voice; improperly said in the Ḳ to be what is called in Persian هَزَارْ دَسْتَانْ; for هزار itself is Persian, and signifies “a thousand,” and دَاسْتَانْ means [as also دَسْتَانْ in that language] “a tale;” as though this bird, in the sweetness of its warbling and the pleasantness of its melody, told a thousand tales; being thus called by way of hyperbole and excessive praise: then they contented themselves by employing the word هزار alone; and the Arabs used it, and prefixed to it the article ال: (TA:) the pl. is هَزَارَاتٌ. (Mṣb.)


Supplement:

هَزَوَّرٌ

هَزَوَّرٌ A strong boy or young man: and a weak old man: as also حَزَوَّرٌ: pl. هَزاَوِرَةٌ. (Abu-t-Teiyib, in TA, art. حزر.)
