Full Definition
صِرَارٌ
The thing with which a she-camel's udder is bound: the string which is tied over the she-camel's udder and over the [piece of wood called] تَوْدِيَة, in order that her young one may not suck her; and in order that it may not make any impression upon her, they smear her teats with fresh [dung of the kind called] بَعَر: or a piece of rag which is bound upon the she-camel's teats, in order that her young one may not such her: pl. أَصِرَّةٌ. It is a custom of the Arabs to bind the صرار upon the udders of their milch camels when they send them to pasture by themselves; and when they return in the evening, they loose the اصرّة, and milk.
