[جثم] فيه: نهى عن أكل "المجثمة" هي كل حيوان ينصب ويرمي ليقتل إلا أنها تكثر في نحو الطير والأرانب مما يجثم بالأرض أي يلزمها ويلتصق بها، وجثم الطائر جثوماً وهو بمنزلة البروك للإبل. ومنه ح: فلزمها حتى "تجثمها" [من] تجثم الطائر أنثاه إذا علاه للسفاد. ط: الشيطان "جاثم" على قلبه من جثم الطير. وفي "جثمان" أنس أي جسده. مد: "فأصحبوا في ديارهم جثمين" ميتين قعوداً لا حراك بهم.
