(TA voce عَسْجَدٌ.) Every quadriliteral-radical or quinqueliteral-radical word [that is genuine Arabic] contains one or two or three of these six letters: every word of either of these classes that does not contain one of these six letters is to be judged adventitious: all the other letters are termed الحُرُوفُ المُصْمَتَهُ.
