S,

L:) in this sense
masc.; but improperly made
fem.: (
Mgh:) the two bones above mentioned are called the زَنْدَانِ as being likened to the زندان with which fire is produced. (
A,
Mgh. *) And in some one or more of the dialects, الأَعْلَى مِنْ الزَّنْدَيْنِ is The سَاعِد [
q. v.]; and الأَسْفَلُ مِنَ الزَّنْدَينِ, the ذِرَاع [
