دُخَس
Etymology
From the root ذ خ س (ḏ-ḵ-s), denoting "to be fleshy", "to be fat or chubby", "to have blubber", "to be full or thick", likely a term originally applied for various marine mammals; considered cognate with Hebrew תַּחַשׁ (táḥash, “marine mammal, sea cow; source of the covering of the tabernacle”), a biblical term of much debate, often cited with this Arabic term for explanation.
