(TA.) -A2- Also (tropical:) The rush (دُفْعَة) of a horse among other horses, in running: (TA:) or the rush (دُفْعَة) of a horse in striving to outstrip: (S, TA: [I read فِى سِبَاقِهِ, as in a copy of the S; instead of فى سِيَاقِهِ, as in other copies of the S and in the TA:]) so in the saying, فَرَسٌ شَدِيدُ السَّلَّةِ (tropical:) [ A horse of which the rush &c. is vehement ]: (S, TA:) and خَرَجَتْ سَلَّتُهُ عَلَى الخَيْلِ (S) or عَلَى سَائِرِ الخَيْلِ (TA) (tropical:) [ His rush in striving to outstrip proceeded against the other horses ]. ― -b2- And A revulsion of shortness of breathing (اِرْتِدَادُ رَبْوٍ) in the chest of a horse, in consequence of his suppressing such shortness of breathing [so I render مِنْ كَبْوَةٍ يَكْبُوهَا, but this phrase admits of other renderings, as will be seen in art. كبو]: (M, K:) when he is inflated thereby, one says, أَخْرَجَ سَلَّتَهُ [app. meaning he has manifested his revulsion of shortness of breathing ]; and thereupon he is urged to run with vehemence, and made to sweat, and coverings are thrown upon him, and that shortness of breathing (ذٰلِكَ الرَّبْوُ) passes forth.

[or coll. gen. n.] because it denotes what is made by art, not created, and it should more properly be regarded as of the class of كَوْكَبٌ and كَوْكَبَةٌ [which are syn.] because this is more common than the class of سَفِينَةٌ and سَفِينٌ.
