Root: حصرم

Form: Q. 1

Full Definition

حَصْرَمَ
Q. 1 [Verbal.Noun حَصْرَمَةٌ,] He braced his bow, making the string tight, or tense.
2 He twisted a rope strongly.
3 He filled a vessel, or a skin: or he filled a skin so that it became strait [or tense].
4 He pared and shaped a reed for writing.
5 [Golius has added the signification “ Excitavit, ” as on the authority of the KL; but in my copy of that work, I find, as the Verbal.Noun of the verb having this signification, حَثْحَثَةٌ, which immediately follows the significations of حَصْرَمَةٌ, and hence appears to have been omitted in the copy of the KL used by Golius.]
