The quantity of water that is taken [or laded out] with the hand [as with a ladle]; (JK, S, * Mgh, * O, Msb, * K;) as much thereof as fills the hand; (JK;) and ↓ غُرَافَةٌ signifies the same: (O, K:) before it is so taken it is not termed غُرْفَة: (S, K:) the plural is غِرَافٌ. (S, Msb, K.)

And [hence, apparently,] Somewhat remaining, of milk. (IAar, TA in article جزع.)
