2 Also استكرش He became large in his stomach: or became hard in his palate, and wide in his belly, after he had become large: or he became large in his belly: or he became large in his belly, and ate much: or he became large in his belly, and began to eat: but some disapprove of its being said of a boy, asserting that one says of a boy إِسْتَجْفَرَ.
