(Mgh.) ― -b2- A كَارَة [or bundle, put in one piece of cloth and tied up, ] of clothes; (S, Msb, TA;) what are tied up in one piece of cloth, (K, TA,) of clothes: (TA:) or clothes, and other things, put together [ in a bundle ]; as also ↓ رَزْمَةٌ: (Mgh:) IAmb explains it as meaning the thing in which are sorts (ضُرَوب) and mixtures of clothes: and hence the author of the K has taken a meaning assigned by him to رِزْمَةٌ, which, he says, is also written ↓ رَزْمَةٌ, namely, ضَرْبٌ شَدِيدٌ [ a vehement beating ], altering and substituting: (TA:) the pl. of رِزْمَةٌ is رِزَمٌ.
