(TA.)

ناقة كَسِيرٌ (Ṣ, Ḳ) i. q. مَكْسُورَةٌ [lit., A broken she-camel,] (Ḳ,) is like the phrase كَفٌّ خَضِيبٌ, (Ṣ, TA,) meaning مَخْضُوبَةٌ: (TA;) or a she-camel having one of its legs broken: (Mgh:) and شَاةٌ كَسِيرٌ a sheep, or goat, having one of its legs broken: كسير being of the measure فَعِيلٌ in the sense of the measure مَفْعُولٌ: (Mgh, Mṣb:) and كَسِيرَةٌ also, [app. as an epithet in which the quality of a subst. is predominant,] like نَطِيحَةٌ: (Mṣb:) كَسِيرٌ, occurring in a trad. is explained as signifying a sheep, or goat, having a broken leg, that cannot walk; (IAth,* Mgh;) but this requires consideration. (Mgh.)

كَاسِرٌ [Breaking]; fem. with ة {كَاسِرَةٌ}: pl. masc. and fem. كُسَّرٌ; and pl. fem. كَوَاسِرُ also (Ḳ.)

جَمْعُ التَّكْسِيرِ † [The broken plural;] the plural in which the composition of the singular is changed; (Ḳ;) the change being either apparent, as in رِجَالٌ, pl. of رَجُلٌ, or understood, as in فُلْكٌ, which is both sing. and pl., for the ḍammeh in the sing. in this case is like the ḍammeh of قُفْلٌ, and that in the pl. is like that of أسْدٌ. (Ibn-ʼAḳeel: see Dieterici's “Alfijjah”, &c.; pp. 329 and 330.)

Also تَكْسِيرٌ † [The area of a circle]: in the circle are three things: دَوْرٌ [or circumference] and قُطْرٌ [or diameter] and تَكْسِيرٌ [or area], which [last] is the product of the multiplication of the half of the قطر by the half of the دور: and it is sometimes called مِسَاحَةٌ.

(TA.) [It is scarcely necessary to add that this is not perfectly exact.]

(Ḳ.)

Hence, رَجُلٌ صُلْبُ المَكْسِرِ (A, L) ‡ A man who bears up against difficulty, distress, or adversity: because one breaks a piece of wood, to try if it be hard or soft. (TA.) And of a pl. number, هُمْ صِلَابُ المَكَاسِرِ. (A.) And فُلَانٌ هَشُّ المَكْسِرِ, (TA,) andالمُكَسَّرِ↓, (TA in art. هش, q. v.,) † [Such a one is easy, or compliant, when asked], which is an expression of praise when it means [lit.] that he is not one whose wood gives only a sound when one endeavours to produce fire from it; and of dispraise when it means [lit.] that be is one whose wood is weak. (TA.) And فُلَانٌ طَيِّبُ المَكْسِرِ † Such a one is praised when tried, proved, or tested: (Ṣ, TA:) and رَدِىْءُ المَكْسِرِ [dispraised when tried,, &c.]. (TA.)
