pearls, 
a pearl) Esther 1:6.
דַּר m. Esther 1:6, commonly taken as i.q. Arabic دَرُّ, دُرَّةُ, a pearl, especially a large one, from the root דָּרַר to shine. Nor would pavements inlaid with pearls be foreign from Asiatic luxury (see Bochart, Hieroz. ii. 780, seq.); I prefer, however, to understand a stone like a pearl, perhaps mother-of-pearl (Derlen = mutter), or the kind of alabaster, called in German Derlenmutterftein.
