صيـر (II) "The word صير originally means brine, and consequently, the small fish of various species that were salted and used to make brine;" from de Sacy, Relation de l'Égypte par Abd-allatif, p. 287, who also observes that, among the Talmudists, the word ix has the same meaning of brine (صيرة), in the scropos fish, Thousand and One Nights, XI, p. 48 ed. Fleischer, Arabic manuscripts - Freytag). From this word صير, the verb صير was formed, meaning to brine, which is used either when speaking of fish, Beeri, p. 4, or when speaking of fruits, Ibn-Batouta, II, p. 1, p. 126; Alcala curitur azeitunas (to put olives in brine, meaning to preserve). ضـد (IV) rival, p. 45; Alcala has the 4th form in the Fourcompete with equality.

Edrisi uses ضربة in the sense of obligation, p. 1.
