Nettle
        

charul. Job 30:7, "brambles" (Umbreit). But the bushmen of whom Job speaks "gathered together under the (tall) nettles" to boil them for potherbs (see Job 30:4). The root chaaral "to burn" also favors the Urtica; wrens, "burning" or "stinging nettle." Royle, from the Arabic khardul, our charlock, argues for the wild mustard. Also qimowsh; Isaiah 34:13.
