أَسْنَدُ ذ [a comparative and superlative epithet from أَسْنَدَ الحَدِيثَ, q. v., though (like أَسْوَدُ and أَبْيَضُ when used as epithets of this kind) deviating from a general rule, which requires that such an epithet be formed from an unaugmented triliteralradical verb]. You say أَسْنَدُ لِلْحَدِيثِ, meaning أَنَصُّ لَهُ, q. v. (TA in art. نص.)

(TA.) ― -b4- And i. q. دَعِىٌّ [as meaning (assumed tropical:) One who claims as his father a person who is not his father; or an adopted son; or one whose origin, or lineage, or parentage, is suspected ]; (S, M, L, K;) as also ↓ سَنِيدٌ; (M, L, K; [see an ex. in a verse cited voce أَسَرُّ;]) opposed to كَرِيمٌ.

مَسْنَدٌ ذ : see سَنَدٌ, second sentence.

خُشُبٌ مُسَنَّدَةٌ ذ , [in the Kur lxiii. 4, meaning Pieces of wood made to lean, or incline, against a wall, (Jel,)] the latter word is with teshdeed because of its relation to many objects (لِلْكَثْرَةِ). (S.) -A2- مُسَنَّدَةٌ also signifies A certain sort of cloths, or garments; and so ↓ مَسْنَدِيَّةٌ. (M, TA.)

مَسْنَدِيَّةٌ ذ : see what next precedes.

مُسَانَدَةٌ ذ (O, K, and Ham p. 783, in the CK and TK [erroneously] مُسَانِدَةٌ) (assumed tropical:) A she-camel having the breast and fore part prominent: (As, O, K:) or whereof one part of her frame stays, or supports, (يُسَانِدُ,) [ and so renders firm or strong, ] another part: (Sh, O, K:) or having prominent withers: (Ibn-Buzurj, L:) or strong in the back: or whose frame, or make, is symmetrical, or conformable in its several parts: or, as some say, whose frame, or make, is dissimilar, or unconformable, in its several parts; because the hump differs from the other parts; so that it is from the phrase تَسَانَدَ القَوْمُ meaning as expl. above [see 6]: (Ham p. 783:) and مُسَانَدَةُ القَرَا (tropical:) a she-camel hard, firmly compacted, in the back.

(TA.) -A2- See also the next paragraph.
