امترس بِهِ

امترستِ الأَلْسُنُ فِى الخُصُومَاتِ (tropical:) The tongues persisted in wranglings, or contentions, (S, M,) and assailed one another. (M, A.)

امترست بِهِ, occurring in a poem of Aboo-Dhu-eyb, is said of wild asses that had drawn near to the hunter as one that would rub himself against a thing: (S, TA:) or, according to Es-Sukkaree, of a wild she-ass, and meaning, She began to strive with him to circumvent him and gain the mastery (جعلت تكارُّه وتُعَالِجُهُ [as written in the TA; but I doubt not that تكارُّه is a mistranscription for تُكَايِدُهُ, which is much like تعالجه in signification; and therefore I have thus rendered it]): or the meaning is, she had his arrow sticking fast in her. (TA.)
