2 Also A ewe whose hips are unknit, or loosened, [in the joints], ( وَرِكَاهَا [see 4],) when she brings forth. And A woman whose bones are unknit, or loosened, ( عِظَامُهَا) in consequence of parturition: and hence, as likened thereto, a camel that is fatigued, and drags his feet, or stands still: or a woman fatigued in consequence of parturition: and hence, as being likened thereto, a she-camel that is fatigued. And A she-camel that has brought forth her first offspring. [See also فَارِجٌ.]
3 Also, accord. to the K, [and the O as on the authority of Ibn- 'Abbád,] i. q. بَارِدٌ: but [SM says that] this is a mistake for بَارِزٌ, meaning Uncovered, appearing, or apparent; in which sense it is applied also to a fem. noun: it is applied, in a verse of Aboo-Dhu-eyb, to a pearl (دُرَّة), as meaning uncovered, and exposed to view, for sale.
