Root entry · 1 derived lemmaمُسْتَتِمٌّ مستتم One who seeks, demands, or requests, wool, or camels' hair, to complete therewith the weaving of his كِسَاآء: so in a poem of Aboo-Duwád, (S,) where he says, فَهْىَ كَالبَيْضِ فِى الأَدَاحِىِّ لَا يُوْ هَبُ مِنْهَا لِمُسْتَتِمٍّ عِصَامُ i. e., And they (referring to certain camels) are, in respect of the care that is taken of them, and in smoothness, like the eggs [ in the places where the ostrich has deposited them in the sand ]; there may not be found upon them to be given from them, to one who demands a تِمَّة, [even so much as] a tie for a water-skin; for they have become fat, and cast their hair. (TA.)
