A broad نَصْل [or iron head] (IDrd, Msb, K) of an arrow: (IDrd:) or an arrow having such a نصل, (Lth, IF, K,) with which wild animals are shot; (Lth;) but Az says that this explanation is at variance with what has been heard from the Arabs: (TA:) or it signifies, (M,) or signifies also, (K,) a long نصل; (M, K;) not a broad one: (M:) or an arrow having such a نصل; (M;) with which wild animals are shot: (K:) or a long and broad نصل: (S:) or it is of half the size of a نصل, and is worthless; children play with it, and it is the worst kind of arrow [-head], and is used for shooting at objects of the chase and any other thing: (TA:) plural مَشَاقِصُ. (S.)
