2 Applied to a camel, it means Such as is termed أَفَكُّ [q. v.]; whose shoulder is slit [so I render اِنْخَرَمَ, but I incline to think that it here means is splayed, or dislocated, as though rent without being separated (see تَخَرَّمَ)], and the عَصَبَة [which I suppose to signify in this case either tendon or ligament] that is in the interior of the أَخْرَمَ [q. v., app. here meaning the glenoid cavity of the scapula] detached.
