(S.) [Hence,] مُخَّةٌ جَامِدَةٌ A hard piece of marrow. (L.)

(assumed tropical:) Remaining fixed, stationary, or motionless. (Bd and Jel in xxvii. 90.)

(assumed tropical:) A thing that does not grow, or increase; [incapable of growth, or increase; inanimate;] as stone, in contradistinction to a tree [and an animal]. (Kull.)
