Msb,
K) and ↓ مَصْحَفٌ; (

Fr,
S,
O,
Msb,) being from أُصْحِفَ meaning as
expl. above, and one of certain words that are pronounced by [some of] the Arabs with kesr to the م instead of damm because the latter is deemed by them difficult of utterance, of which words are also مِخْدَعٌ and مِطْرَفٌ and مِغْزَلٌ and مِجْسَدٌ, (
