def.2 Also A man's [small sub-tribe such as is called] عَشِيرَة, and [such as is called] فَخِذ.
def.3 And A small couch, of a size sufficient for one person: of the dial. of El-Yemen.
def.4 [El-Makreezee mentions the custom of attaching طَوَارِق حَرْبِيَّة upon the gates of Cairo and upon the entrances of the houses of the أُمَرَآء; and De Sacy approves of the opinion of A.
