2 سحّجهُ ذ , (S, K,) inf. n. تَسْحِيجٌ and مُسَحَّجٌ, [of which latter, see an ex. in what follows,] (TA,) He abraded, or otherwise removed, its outer integument, or superficial part, much, or often. (S, K.) ― -b2- See also 1. An ex. of the latter inf. n. occurs in the following hemistich of the “ Jeemeeyeh ” of El-'Ajjáj: “ جَأْبَا تَرَى بِلِيِتِهِ مُسَحَّجَا
” [A bulky, or strong, wild ass, in the side of whose neck thou seest much biting, or lacerating of the skin, that has made marks upon it]: thus heard by AHát from the mouth of AZ, and thus recited by the former to As, who disallowed it, and said, تَلِيلَهُ [i. e. whose neck, or cheek, thou seest to be much bitten, &c., instead of بِلِيِتِهِ], but abstained from objecting after AHát had adduced other exs. [of similar inf. ns.], and among them the saying in the Kur [xxxiv. 18], وَ مَزَّقْنَاهُمْ كُلَّ مُمَزَّقٍ: Az says that مسحّجا is here made an inf. n., like تَسْحِيجًا. (TA)
