fem.: (
Mgh:) or what is thus called is
masc. when thus called; (

fem.: (
Msb:) or it is properly
masc.; and if found in poetry made
fem., سِنٌّ is meant thereby: (
Zj,
Msb:) but
As denies its being made
fem.; (
Msb,
TA;) and as to the saying ascribed to Dukeyn, فَفُقِئَتْ عَيْنٌ وَطَنَّتْ ضِرْسُ [And an eye was put out, and a tooth, or grinder, sounded], he says that the right reading is وَطَنَّ الضِّرْسُ [and the tooth, or grinder, sounded], and that he who heard these words understood them not. (

prov., applied to the man whose nature is evil on the occasion of his defending. (
Meyd.) And one says, اِتَّقِ النَّاقَةَ بِجِنِّ ضِرَاسِهَا, meaning (
tropical:) Beware thou of the she-camel in the case of the recentness of her bringing forth, and of her evil disposition towards him who approaches her, by reason of her attachment to her young one. (
A,
TA.) [In the
TA, in art. جن, this saying is mentioned with ضِرَامِهَا in the place of ضِرَاسِهَا: the former may perhaps be another reading; but I rather think that it is a mistranscription for the latter. And in the present art. in the
TA, it is added that
Sgh has mentioned (
app. in the
TS, for he has not done so in the
O,) El-
Báhilee's having explained الضِّرَاسُ as meaning سِيْمٌ لهم; and that it is likewise explained in the
T as meaning سِيْمٌ: but I know no such word as سِيْمٌ; nor do I know any word of which it is likely to be a mistranscription, though I have diligently searched for such. This word سِيْمٌ has been altered by the copyist in each instance in the
TA; so that it seems to have been indistinctly written by the author.]

tropical:) The biting of war. (
