ضِرْوٌ A dog, (M,) or young dog, (Ṣ, Kudot;,) such as is termed ضَارٍ [i. e. habituated, or accustomed, to the chase]; (Ṣ, M, Ḳ;) as alsoضَرِىٌّ↓: (Ḳ, TA: [in the CK, كالضَّرَى is erroneously put for كَالضَّرِىِّ:]) the latter word is like غَنِىٌّ: (TA:) the fem. of the former is with ة {ضِرْوَةٌ): and the pl.
