مَشْرَفِيَّةٌ
Certain swords, so called in relation to مَشَارِفُ, or in relation to مَشَارِفُ الشَّامِ, i. e. certain towns, or villages, of the land of the Arabs, near to the رِيف [q. v.]: so says AO: or, as some say, this is a mistake, and they are so called in relation to a place of El-Yemen: [or, accord. to some, in relation to المَشَارِفُ, certain towns, or villages, near Howrán: ] and it is said that مَشْرَف was the name of a blacksmith who made swords: one says سَيْفٌ مَشْرَفِىٌّ, not مَشَارِفِىٌّ, because a rel. n. is not formed from a pl. of the measure of مَشَارِفُ.
