[which obtained] among [the tribes of] Er-Ribáb: but, IB says, this is a mistranscription; for what ISk says, in the book entitled “ ElIsláh, ” is, غَصِصْتُ بِاللُّقْمَةِ فَأَنَا أَغَصُّ بِهَا غَصَصًا قَالَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ وَغَصَصْتُ لُغَةٌ فِى الرِّبَابِ, with [the pointed غ and] the unpointed ص: to which [says SM] I add, that thus it is found in the handwriting of Aboo-Zekereeyà and of Ibn-El-Jawáleekee, in the “ Isláh ” of ISk, and they expressly assert that what is in the S is a mistranscription.

You say also عضضت بِمَالِى, [so in the TA, without any vowel-signs to the verb,] inf. n. عُضُوضَةٌ and عَضَاضَةٌ, [to agree with which, the pret. by rule should be عَضُضْتُ,] (assumed tropical:) I clave, or held fast, to my property.
