(TA.) You say also, تحسّر الوَبَرُ عَنِ البَعِيرِ The fur, or soft hair, fell off from the camel: and in like manner one says of the plumage from the birds: (A:) and of the hair from the ass. (TA.) See also 2. ― -b2- تحسّرت بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ [She uncovered herself, or her head and forehead, or her head, or her face, before him: (see حَاسِرٌ:) or] she sat before him with her face uncovered. (TA from a trad.) -A2- See also 1, in two places.
