أَكَبَّ عَلَى سَاعِدَيْهِ النَّمِرْ [She has two compact portions of flesh and sinew confining her back-bone, like as appear when the leopard falls prostrate upon his fore shanks], he means خَظَاتَانِ, suppressing the ن for the purpose of alleviation of the utterance: (Fr, S:) or, as some say, he means ↓ خَظَتَا, restoring the ا that fell out on account of the concurrence of two quiescent letters in the sing. [i. e. خَظَاتْ, for خَظَتْ is formed from خَظَاتْ, which is from خَظَوَتْ,] when the ت has become movent. (S.) b2: خَاظٍ also signifies Thick, and hard, firm, or rigid: (TA:) and [so, or simply] thick, applied to an arrow. (AHn, TA.) And one says سَاعِدٌ خَاظِى
