TA:) El-Jarmee says, I heard
As say that this word signifies coolness of the mouth and teeth; and I said, Our companions say that it is their sharpness when they come forth; by which is meant their new, or recent, and fresh state; for when they have undergone the lapse of years, they become abraded, or worn: but he said, It is nothing but their coolness: and the saying of Dhu-r-Rummeh, وَفِى اللِّثَاتِ وَفِى أَنْيَابِهَا شَنَبُ [which should be rendered And in the gums, and in her canine teeth, is coolness], corroborates the assertion of
As; for there is no sharpness in the gum: (
