[Nothing will draw water in a well of which most of the water has been exhausted, to which many press to draw, except the kind of buckets made of a round piece of skin, of ample capacity]: i. e. one cannot draw water from a small quantity but with wide and shallow buckets: but some say that مدارات should be مداراة, from المُدَارَاةُ فِى الأُمُورِ; holding it to be for بِمُدَارَاةِ الدِّلَآءِ; and reading لَا يُسْتَقَى.لَايَسْتَقِى فِى النَّزَحِ المَضْفُوفِ إِلَّا مُدَارَاتُ الغُرُوبِ الجُوفِ
2 Also A garment of the kind called إزَار figured with sundry circles: pl. مُدَارَاتٌ.
