English term or phrase: centipede(s)
Dear all,

What is the classical Arabic translation for the word "centipede"?

Mawrid says حريش Is there any other names? IS it fimeinine of musculine? What is the plural of it??????

Coz I think that حرائش means something different!

Thanks a lot.

وجمع هذا الاسم هو جمع مؤنث سالم المئينيات، وأم أربع وأربعين جمعها أمهات أربع وأربعين
أما الحريش فلست متأكدة لأن البحث عن حريشات قادني إلى وصفات طعام لذيذة بعيدة عن الحريش
