حَافَة [or side]: and he took from its
حافة: as also تخوّفه: or he took by little and little from it, namely, a thing, or from its
حافات [or sides]; (S in art. حيف;) as also [تخوّفهُ and] تحيّفهُ. Abd-Allah Ibn-' Ajlán En-Nahdee says, or some other poet, (L in art. خوف,)
[Her saddle abraded from a long and high, compact hump; like as the piece of skin used for smoothing arrows has abraded from the rod of the tree called نبعة]. [See also 5 in art. خوف, where another reading of this verse is given.]تَحَوَّفَ الرَّحْلُ مِنْهَا تَامِكًا قَرِدًا كَمَا تَحَوَّفَ عُودَ النَّبْعَةِ السَّفَنُ
