Full Definition

ظَرَّI He cut [or split off] a مِظَرَّة [i. e. a fragment of hard stone, with a sharp edge, to be used as a knife]. (Lth, T, M, K. [In some copies of the K, مَظرّة; and in one place, in a copy of the M, مَظِرّة: but correctly مِظَرَّة, as is said in the TA.]) This the pastor does for the purpose of cutting off therewith a thing resembling a wart within the belly of a she-camel, at the orifice of the womb, when she is affected by a disease occasioned by lusting for the male.
2 And He slaughtered a she-camel, or, as in the “ Tekmileh, ” an animal, with the [stone called] ظُرَر.
