مُسْتَتِمٌّ مستتم One who seeks, demands, or requests, wool, or camels' hair, to complete therewith the weaving of his كِسَآء: so in a poem of Aboo-Duwád, (S,) where he says, “ فَهْىَ كَالبَيْضِ فِى الأَدَاحِىِّ لَا يُوْ
هَبُ مِنْهَا لِمُسْتَتِمٍّ عِصَامُ
” i. e., And they (referring to certain camels) are, in respect of the care that is taken of them, and in smoothness, like the eggs [in the places where the ostrich has deposited them in the sand]; there may not be found upon them to be given from them, to one who demands a تِمَّة, [even so much as] a tie for a water-skin; for they have become fat, and cast their hair. (TA.)
