[There is no poor-rate  in the case of] the camel upon which one journeys; if the phrase be thus: but if it be فِى جَمَلِ ظَعِينَةٍ, by the last word is meant a woman: (TA:) Az  says, one should not say حُمُولٌ nor ظُعُنٌ except as meaning the camels upon which are هَوَادِج, whether there be in them women or not.
