مَصْقُولٌ ذ : see صَقِيلٌ. ― -b2- مَصْقُولُ الكِسَآءِ means (assumed tropical:) Milk overspread with a pellicle: (O, * TA:) a rájiz says, “ فَهْوَ إِِذَا مَا ا@هْتَافَ أَوْ تَهَيَّفَا
يُبْقِى الدُّوَايَاتِ إِِذَا تَرَشَّفَا
عَنْ كُلِّ مَصْقُولِ الكِسَآءِ قَدْ صَفَا
” [And he, when he thirsts, or experiences the hot south-west wind (الهَيْف), leaves only the pellicles when he sucks in with his lips from every quantity of milk overspread with a pellicle, that has become clear]: accord. to As, it means the froth of milk: (TA:) IAar explained it accord. to its apparent signification, as used in a verse of 'Amr Ibn-ElAhtam El-Minkaree, (O, TA,) i. e. as meaning a [glossy] red كِسَآء; [a sense not indicated by that verse, and clearly inconsistent with the ex. cited above;] and when told how As had explained it, replied that, when he had said it, he was ashamed to retract it.
