2 Freytag has also assigned to it a meaning belonging to أَعْذَبَ, q. v.]

def.3 And see also 2, last sentence.

def.4 [عَذِبَ, Verbal.Noun عَذَبٌ, is mentioned by Golius as signifying “ Quisquiliis aut lente palustri obducta fuit, ” and in a similar manner by Freytag; by both as said of water, and as on the authority of the K: but I find, in the K, no ground for this, except an explanation of عَذِبٌ, q.v., of which ISd knew not a verb.]
