تَشْرِيمٌII i. q. تَشْقِيقٌ [meaning The slitting, or rending, and perhaps also cleaving, splitting, &c., much, or in several places]: (S, K, TA: [see 2 in art. خرم:]) one says, شرّمهُ [he slit it &c.], in relation to the ear &c.: [it is used in relation to the end, or tip, of the nose; and to the orifice of the vagina of a she-camel; as shown above:] see 1, second sentence. تَشْرِيمُ الظِّئَارِ is [The scarifying of the vulva, or of the orifice of the vagina, for the purpose of] the making a she-camel to affect and suckle a young one not her own [by causing her to imagine, from the pain thus occasioned, that she has recently brought forth that young one]; تشريم in this phrase signifying تَشْقِيق. (T in art. ظأر.) It is said in a trad. of Ibn-'Omar, that he purchased a she-camel, and, seeing in her what is thus termed, returned her: in this instance, تشريم الظئار means The laceration of the two edges of the vulva on the occasion of ظئار. (T and TA in art. ظأر: see 1 in that art.)
