Root entry · 1 derived lemma

2 طلّم ذ , inf. n. تَطْلِيمٌ, He beat a cake of bread baked in hot ashes with his hand, (K, TA) in order that it might become cool. (TA.) Hence the saying of Hassán. تَظَلُّ جِيَادُنَا مُتَمَطِّرَاتٍ يُطَلِّمُهُنَّ بِالخُمُرِ النِّسَاآءُ (K, * TA:) or, as some relate it, يُلَطِّمُهُنَّ; but this is weak, or repudiated: (K:) or this is the correct reading, and the more obviously appropriate in meaning, accord. to MF; and accord. to IAth, it is the reading commonly known, and the same as the former in meaning: (TA:) the meaning is, [ Our coursers passing the day running like the pouring of rain, ] the women wiping the sweat from them with the mufflers: (K, TA:) or, as some say, [ the women with the mufflers ] beating them with the hands in removing the dust that was upon them. (TA.)
