Full Definition

ثَلُوثٌ A she-camel that fills three vessels such as are called أَقْدَاح, when she is milked, [i. e.,] at one milking. This is the utmost quantity that the camel yields at one milking.
2 Also A she-camel three of whose teats dry up: (S, M, A, K: [accord. to the TA, it is said in the T that such is termed مَثْلُوثٌ ; but I think that this is a mistranscription:]) or that has had one of her teats cut off by cauterization, which becomes a mark to her, and [in some copies of the K “ or ”] is milked from three teats: or that has three teats; [and] so : or a she-camel having one of her teats dried up in consequence of something that has happened to it.
