10 استدرك الشَّىْءَ بِالشَّىءِ ذ [properly] signifies بِهِ ↓ حَاوَلَ اـِدْرَاكَهُ [i. e. He sought, or endeavoured, to follow up the thing with the thing ]: (K:) as, for instance, الخَطَأَ بِالصَّوَابِ [ the mistake with what was right ]. (TK.) [Hence,] you say, اِسْتَدْرَكْتُ مَافَاتَ [ I repaired, amended, corrected, or rectified, what had passed neglected by me, or by another; and I supplied what had so passed, or what had escaped me, or another, through inadvertence ]; and ↓ تَدَارَكْتُهُ signifies the same [in relation to language and to other things; whereas the former verb is generally restricted to relation to language or to a writer or speaker]. (S, Msb.) You say also, استدرك عَلَيْهِ قَوْلَهُ He corrected, or rectified, what was wrong, or erroneous, in his saying: [but more commonly, he supplied what he had omitted in his saying; generally meaning, what he had omitted through inadvertence: and اِسْتَدْرَكْتُهُ عَلَيْه I subjoined it, or appended it, to what he had written, or said, by way of emendation; or, more commonly, as a supplement, i. e., to supply what had escaped him, or what he had neglected: ] and hence, عَلَى البُخَارِىِّ ↓ المُسْتَدْرَكُ [ The Supplement to ElBukháree; a work supplying omissions of ElBukháree;] by El-Hákim. (TA.) [Thus] اِسْتِدْرَاكٌ signifies The annulling a presumption, or surmise, originating from what has been before said, [ by correcting an error, or errors, or by supplying a defect, or defects, ] in a manner resembling the making an exception. (Kull.) [Hence حَرْفُ ا@سْتِدْرَاكٍ, meaning A particle of emendation, applied to بَلْ, and to لٰكِنَّ or لٰكِنْ.]
