and
, like ثُمَامَةٌ, or
, Water that is for him, of the tribes, who first arrives at it; water that is common property among a number of tribes, and is for him who first arrives at it: and in like manner the latter word applied to a well. You say, هٰذَا مآءٌ بَيْنَ بَنِى فُلَانٍ وَبَنِى فُلَانٍ, meaning, [This is water between the sons of such a one and the sons of such a one, so that] whichever of them arrives at it first waters [his beasts] and the others do not throng him.
