K.) سِكَّةٌ A ploughshare; i. e. the iron thing with which the ground is ploughed; (

accord. to
As, سكّة مأبورة here signifies a ploughshare properly prepared [for ploughing]; and, he says, the meaning is, that the best of property is a brood [of a mare] or seed-produce. (
S.) [It has been suggested to me that, if طريقة in the explanation above have the signification here assigned to it, the
epithet مصطفّة is redundant; and therefore that طريقة alone may be the proper explanation, and may mean in this case, as it does in many others, a tall palm-tree, or the tallest of palm-trees, or a smooth palm-tree, or a palm-tree the head of which is reached by the hand; and that مصطفّة may have been added in consequence of misunderstanding, and سطر substituted for طريقة for the same reason: but I think it much more probable that the
epithet has been added because طريقة is ambiguous; and this is confirmed by what here follows.]
b2: Also A زُقَاق [meaning street]: (
S,
O, *
Msb:) or [rather] a wide زُقَاق: (
