مُتَمِّمٌ

Root: تم

Full Definition

مُتَمِّمٌ One whose arrow wins time after time [in the game called المَيْسِر], and who feeds the poor with the flesh [of the camel which constitutes the shares] thereof: or who, when players in the game called الميسر have diminished the slaughtered camel [by taking their shares], takes what has remained, so as to complete the shares, or make up their full number. (K. [See 2. In the CK, نَقَصَ اِيْسارَ جَزُوْرِ المَيْسِرِ is erroneously put for نَقَصَ أَيْسَارٌ جَزُورَ المَيْسِرِ.])
