Accord. to the Mṣb, it is of the measure فِنْعِيلٌ: but accord. to the O and Ḳ, the ن is a radical letter.]
It is also used by the Arabs of our time as a metonymical appellalation of ‡ A coward: or a low, vile, or mean, person: as though they meant thereby a townsman, or villager, who constantly eats in cookingpots and bowls of copper; differing from the people of the desert. (TA.)
