Full Definition
the poet meaning [By thy life, I will not approach to hold loving communion, or intercourse, with an ignoble, or a low, female;] nor will I direct my regard to the short ropes which bind [to the pegs] the lower part of the tent of my friend, coveting his wife, and the like: or he may mean nor will I direct my regard to the female relations of my friend, such as his paternal aunt, and his maternal aunt, and the like. [See آصِرَةٌ, below.]لَعَمْرُكَ لَا أَذْنُو لِوَصْلِ دَنِيَّةٍ وَ لَا أَتَصَبَى آصِرَاتِ خَلِيلِى
2 Also, the first, A thing by which things are tied firmly, or made firm or fast.
3 A thong of untanned hide which binds together the عَضُدَانِ of a camel's saddle: and إِسَارٌ is a dial. var. thereof.
4 Also, and أَيْصَرٌ , A [garment of the kind called] كِسَآء in which dry herbage, or fodder, is collected: or a كسآء filled with herbage, and tied: or a كسآء in which is dry herbage, or fodder: otherwise it is not thus called: pl. [of the former] أُصُرٌ and آصِرَةٌ; and of the latter أَيَاصِرُ.
5 And both words, Dry herbage, or fodder: or dry herbage, or fodder, collected together: or dry herbage, or fodder, in a [garment of the kind called] كسآء: otherwise it is not thus called: or dry herbage, or fodder, contained in a مِحَشّ.
