This is the utmost quantity that the camel yields at one milking. (IAar, M.) ― -b2- Also A she-camel three of whose teats dry up: (S, M, A, K: [accord. to the TA, it is said in the T that such is termed ↓ مَثْلُوثٌ; but I think that this is a mistranscription:]) or that has had one of her teats cut off (IAar, T, M, L, K) by cauterization, which becomes a mark to her, (IAar, M,) and [in some copies of the K “ or ”] is milked from three teats: (T, M, L, K:) or that has three teats; (IAar, TA;) [and] so ↓ مُثَلِّثَةٌ: (T, TA:) or a she-camel having one of her teats dried up in consequence of something that has happened to it.
