Full Definition
المَنِيحُ
An arrow (of those used in the game called
المَيْسِر, S) which has no lot, or portion, unless the person to whom it pertains be given something: it is the third of the arrows to which the term
غُفْلٌ
is applied, which have no notches, and to which is assigned no portion and no fine; these being only added to give additional weight to the collection of arrows from fear of occasioning suspicion [of foul play]: it is one of four arrows to each of which is assigned no portion and no fine; the first is called المُصَدَّرُ; the next, المُضَعَّفَ; the next, المنيح; and the last, السَّفِيحُ: accord. to some, an arrow that is borrowed because it is regarded as fortunate: or an arrow which has a portion assigned to it.
