The description of the bride's thighs is "long," referring to both the outer and inner thighs. The "فرج" (vulva) is the space between the buttocks. His saying "he approached the hindquarters" refers to the forelegs. The phrase "two shoulders" is from the saying "two shoulders, two shoulders." He said "dar and darah," and "khazatayn" from my saying "la khala." And "aktanz" so that it might be "khazatayn." So I will not say what others have said, but rather what he brought. It is like "haff" from "al-dhab" and like "hathf" from "nahy" (according to the original), and like "khazatayn." What is narrated from the speech of the Arabs is that the partridge said to the quail, "Qata, qata, qata, stand still, give me." He meant "mantayn," and it is said that it could be "shaya'an." "Your eggs are two." He made the "alif" apparent for the movement of the "ta'," as if the "ta'" was thrown, so that the "ta'" would be silent. He said, "It is difficult to look from the eye of Basra." The people of Quds, when they passed through Tayy, said, "We are satisfied, we are satisfied." Similarly, "khazana" was. The verb "khaza" means to be long, and the source is not extended like "alif" and "hamza." Musa wrote it with "ba'," which is a mistake because it is from the "waw" roots. Al-Qattab added "khaza, bazza." He ate on his forelegs, and a man said, "Kazwan." His saying "kazwan" is like the shepherd's saying, "He is like the camel's forelegs, blessed in their thickness." Al-Qutbi said he meant "as if a lion was blessed upon them." The saying "lakzat al-lahm" (a lump of flesh) is like the shepherd's saying, "And 'abnan, ra'an, ma'fahuma." He meant "as if the enemy was like that." Ghaythan added "kamayn jawdhar." Al-Asma'i said, "He described the thighs as having a lot of flesh because it is the sweat of the thighs and the sweat of the face." He said, "The sweat of the face appears, and the veins are visible from the scarcity of flesh, and similarly the thighs."
