Full Definition
[but in the EM it is مَسَكِّ, thus with س, and with fet-h to the م; a word which I do not find in any lexicon: it is said that] مسك signifies a coat of mail narrow in the rings: and the poet means, And of many an ample coat of mail [narrow in the rings] have I rent open the middle parts with the sword, from over a man who was the defender of those who, or that which, it was his duty to defend, who was pointed to as being the cavalier of the army.وَمِشَكِّ سَابِغَةٍ هَتَكْتُ فُرُوجَهَا بِالسَّيْفِ عَنْ حَامِى الحَقِيقَةِ مُعْلَمِ
