مَرْضُوفَةٌ ذ A cooking-pot [ in which the food is ] thoroughly cooked by means of heated stones: (S:) or the stomach, or maw, of a ruminant animal, which is washed and cleansed, and carried in a journey; and when the people desire to cook, and there is no cooking-pot, they cut up the flesh-meat, and put it into the stomach, or maw, then they betake themselves to some stones, and kindle a fire upon them so that they become heated, whereupon they put them into the stomach, or maw. (O, K.) It occurs in the saying of ElKumeyt, وَمْرضُوفَةٍ لَمْ تُؤْنِ فِى الطَّبْخِ طَاهِيًا عَجِلْتُ اـِلَى مُحْوَرِّهَا حِينَ غَرْغَرَا (S, O, K,) i. e. [ Many a cooking-pot &c, or many a stomach, or maw, &c., has there been,] that did not impede nor delay [ in the cooking the cook, to the whiteness of the froth whereof I have hastened when it made a sound in boiling, or broiling ]. (S.) [This art. is wanting in the copies of the L and TA to which I have had access.]
