2 And Vehemence of grief or anxiety and of war and of heat, or of the hot season, &c.: and vehemence of the heat of summer.
3 And A contraction, or much contraction, and sternness, or moroseness, of the face, by reason of dislike, or hatred.

def.3 Also i. q. عَطْفَةٌ [i. e.] A certain bead (خَرَزَةٌ) by which women fascinate men so as to withhold them from other women. (Lh, M, K, TA. [This is evidently what is meant by عَطْفَة, but is given in the M and K as a signification distinct therefrom.])
def.4 See also مُصَرَّاةٌ.
