O, in two copies of the
S written مُحِقّ, and in a third copy omitted,] or مُحِقَ, without teshdeed, as seen by
Az written in an old book, [i. e. Do I wonder at a measure incompletely filled?] is a saying of the Arabs,
expl. in the book above alluded to, and,
Az thinks, correctly, as meaning is it anything more than a measure incompletely filled? [and in a similar manner, but not so fully,
expl. in two copies of the
S and in the O:] or,
accord. to
IB, is it anything more than the fact of my measure's being incompletely filled? (
