accord. to the Book of Verbs by

ISk cites
AO as asserting that عَضَضْتُ, with fet-h [to the first ض] is a
dial. var. [which obtained] among [the tribes of] Er-Ribáb: but,
IB says, this is a mistranscription; for what
ISk says, in the book entitled “ ElIsláh,” is, غَصِصْتُ بِاللُّقْمَةِ فَأَنَا أَغَصُّ بِهَا غَصَصًا قَالَ
أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ وَغَصَصْتُ لُغَةٌ فِى الرِّبَابِ, with [the pointed غ and] the unpointed ص: to which [says
SM] I add, that thus it is found in the handwriting of Aboo-Zekereeyà and of Ibn-El-Jawáleekee, in the “ Isláh ” of
ISk, and they expressly assert that what is in the
