Full Definition

انساحVII His belly became large and wide, and approached [the ground] by reason of fatness. One says of a she-ass, انساح بَطْنُهَا, meaning Her belly became big, and approached the ground.
2 انساح بَالُهُ [His, or its, state, or condition,] became free from straitness, or unstraitened. A poet says, namely, Dhu-r-Rummeh, أُمَنِّى ضَمِيرَ النَّفْسِ إِيَّاكِ بَعْدَمَا يُرَاجِعُنِى بَثِّى فَيَنْسَاحُ بَالُهَا [I make the secret thoughts of the soul to wish for thee after my grief, or sorrow, returns to me; and then the state, or condition, thereof, becomes free from straitness].
3 انساح said of a garment, or piece of cloth, &c., It became much rent, or rent in several places. In like manner it is said of the dawn [as meaning It broke]. And it is said in the trad. relating to the cave (الغَار [mentioned in the Kur ix. 40]) فَٱنْسَاحَتِ الصَّخْرَةُ, meaning [And the mass of rock] became impelled and riven: and hence, [accord. to some,] the of a house [expl. in art. سوح]: but as some relate it, the verb in this instance is [انصاخت,] with ص and خ.
