قَدِيرٌ

Root: قدر

Full Definition

قَدِيرٌ : see قَادِرٌ.

def.2 Flesh-meat cooked in a pot, with seeds to season it, such as pepper and cuminseeds and the like: if without such seeds, it is called طَبِيخٌ: or what is cooked in a قِدْر; as also قَادِرٌ : so in the K; but this seems to be a mistake, occasioned by a misunderstanding of the saying of Sgh [and others] that قَدِيرٌ is the same as قَادِرٌ: or perhaps the right reading of the passage in the K is وَالقَدِيرُ القَادِرُ وَمَا يُطْبَخُ فِى القِدْرِ; and it has been corrupted by copyists:) [but this is improbable, as the passage, if thus, would be in part a repetition:] also cooked broth; and so مَقْدُورٌ .
