امترسVIII : see 5.
2 امترستِ الأَلْسُنُ فِى الخُصُومَاتِ The tongues persisted in wranglings, or contentions, and assailed one another.
3 امترست بِهِ, occurring in a poem of Aboo-Dhu-eyb, is said of wild asses that had drawn near to the hunter as one that would rub himself against a thing: or, accord. to Es-Sukkaree, of a wild she-ass, and meaning, She began to strive with him to circumvent him and gain the mastery (جعلت تكارُّه وتُعَالِجُهُ [as written in the TA; but I doubt not that تكارُّه is a mistranscription for تُكَايِدُهُ, which is much like تعالجه in signification; and therefore I have thus rendered it]): or the meaning is, she had his arrow sticking fast in her.
