Full Definition

مُضَمَّنٌ Water included in a mug or other vessel: and milk included in the udder.
2 Also Poetry made to comprise a verse [from another poem]. And A verse [made to be] not complete otherwise than with what follows it.
3 And A sound [made to comprehend with it somewhat of another:] upon which one cannot pause without conjoining it with another: in the T it is said to be [such as is exemplified in] a man's saying قِفْ فُلَ [or فُلُ, for قِفْ فُلَانُ Pause thou, such a one], with making the ل to have a smack of the vowel-sound (بِإِشْمَامِ اللَّامِ إِلَى الحَرَكَةِ).
