Parallel reading

الستهم بالضم: الكبير العجز

Al-Sutahim (with dammah) means the large posterior.

وفي الصحاح: هو الأستة، والميم زائدة

And in Al-Sahah: it is Al-Ustah, and the 'meem' is extra.

قال بعض أرباب الحواشي: لا وجه لذكره هنا؛ فإن الميم زائدة كما ذكر، وإنما محله في الهاء.

Some annotators said: there is no reason to mention it here; for the 'meem' is extra as mentioned, and its place is with the 'haa'.

قال شيخنا: وفسره جماعة بأنه الاست، وسيأتي للمصنف في الهاء، وفسره بأنه عظيم الاست، فتأمل.

Our Sheikh said: A group interpreted it as the posterior, and the author will mention it later under the 'haa', interpreting it as a large posterior; so ponder this.

ومما يستدرك عليه: هو في أستمه الحب بضم الأول والثالث وتشديد الميم المفتوحة أي: وسطه

And among what is to be added to it: it is in 'Ustummah' (with dammah on the first and third letters and shaddah on the open 'meem'), meaning: its middle.

والجمع: أساتم، لغة بني تميم في الأسطمة بالطاء والأطسمة بالقلب، كما سيأتي.

And the plural is 'Asatim', a dialect of Banu Tamim for Al-Ustamah (with a 'taa') and Al-Tusimah (with inversion), as will be mentioned later.
