مُدَارَةٌ مدار مداره مدارة مدره A skin made round, and sewed, (S, K,) in the form of a bucket, (S,) with which one draws water. (S, K.) A rájiz says, “ لَايَسْتَقِى فِى النَّزَحِ المَضْفُوفِ
إِِلَّا مُدَارَاتُ الغُرُوبِ الجُوفِ
” [Nothing will draw water in a well of which most of the water has been exhausted, to which many press to draw, except the kind of buckets made of a round piece of skin, of ample capacity]: i. e. one cannot draw water from a small quantity but with wide and shallow buckets: but some say that مدارات should be مداراة, from المُدَارَاةُ فِى الأُمُورِ; holding it to be for بِمُدَارَاةِ الدِّلَآءِ; and reading لَا يُسْتَقَى. (S, TA.) ― -b2- Also A garment of the kind called إِزَار figured (K, TA) with sundry circles: pl. مُدَارَاتٌ. (TA.)
