3 And He desired, or demanded, of him the [having, or taking, a] road, or way, within some one of his boundaries.
4 مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَسْتَطْرِقَ نَصِيبَ الآخَرِ, a phrase used by El-Kudooree, means Without his taking for himself the portion of the other as a road or way [or place of passage]. And الاِسْتِطْرَاقُ بَيْنَ الصُّفُوفِ, a phrase used by Khwáhar-Zádeh [commonly pronounced KháharZádeh], means The going [or the taking for oneself a way] between the ranks [of the people engaged in prayer]: from الطَّرِيقُ. And اِسْتَطْرَقْتُ إِلَى البَابِ I went along a road, or way, to the door. [Hence a phrase in the Fákihet el-Khulafà, p. 105, line 15.]
5 [ٱسْتَطْرَقَتْ in a verse cited in the K in art. دد is a mistake for استطرفت, with فا: see 10 in art. طرب.]
