(TA.) كُرَّاسٌ ذ : see what next follows. كُرَّاسَةٌ ذ [A quire, or parcel, of paper, generally consisting of five sheets, forming ten leaves, of a book; also vulgarly called كَرَّاسَةٌ and كَرَّاسٌ;] one of what are termed ↓ كُرَّاسٌ and كَرَارِيسُ; [كُرَّاسٌ being a coll. gen. n. and كَرَارِيسُ a pl.;] (S, A, K;) a portion of a صَحِيفَة [i. e. book or volume]: (A, K:) so called because compacted: (TA:) or from تَكَرَّسَ signifying “ he collected together ” fire-wood, &c.

(A.) مُكْرَسٌ ذ : see مُكْرِسٌ. ― -b2- قِلَادَةٌ مُكْرَسَةٌ and ↓ مُكَرَّسَةٌ A necklace in which the pearls or other beads are strung upon two strings, and these are joined together by divisions of large beads: so in the TS and K, excepting that in the latter, فِى خَيْطٍ is erroneously put for فِى خَيْطَيْنِ. (TA.) [See كِرْسٌ, last signification.] And [in like manner], ↓ نَظْمٌ مُكَرَّسٌ and مُتَكَرِّسٌ A string of beads one above another. (TA.) رَسْمٌ مُكْرِسٌ ذ (S) (in the L and TA مُكْرَسٌ, but the former, being agreeable with the verb, (see 4,) is probably the right reading,] Traces of men's abode in which is a compacted mixture of dung and urine of camels or of sheep or goats. (S, L, * TA. * [And accord. to the second and third of these authorities, ↓ كَرِسٌ seems to signify the same.]) مُكَرَّسٌ ذ : see مُكْرَسٌ: the former, in two places. مُتَكَرِّسٌ ذ : see مُكْرَسٌ: the former, in two places.
