TA:) [for] طَفَّ,
inf. n. طُفُوفٌ, signifies it rose [
app. so as to become visible]: and it was, or became, little in quantity: the saying is a
prov., relating to a man's being content with a part of that which he wants: (

Z: or each may be correct: that the latter is correct, and that ↓ طَفَافٌ or ↓ طِفَافٌ is its

epithet is not applied unrestrictedly except in the case of exorbitant deficiency: [or]
accord. to Aboo-Is-hák [i. e.
Zj], the مطفّف is thus called because he seldom or never steals from the measure or balance save what is paltry, i. e. طَفِيف; for it is from طَفُّ الشَّىْءِ, meaning “ the side of the thing: ” the
pl. occurs in the
Kur lxxxiii. 1. (
