[proper] name: (L: [i. e., accord. to IbrD, because he uses عُرْجَ as a sing. proper name, curtailed by poetic license from العُرْجَة: if so, this last word seems here to signify a personification of lameness:]) and accord. to him (i. e. IAạr), one says هٰذِهِ عُرَاجُ↓, meaning This is the female hyena [not hyenas]; the latter word imperfectly decl. (O.)
