Bibliotheca Polyglotta

▪ Lane reports that in ClassAr dictionaries, the word is interpretated as signifying a ‘separating o.s.’, or an ‘artifice whereby one may avoid a thing or escape from it’, or the ‘avoiding a thing’. Accord. to Lane, the word is not used but in negative phrases, except by post-classical writers.
▪ The common phrase lā budda min ka-ḏā is explained by Lane as ‘there is no separating o.s. from such a thing, there is no artifice whereby one may avoid it, or escape from it; there is no avoiding it, hence: it is absolutely necessary; it is not possible to separate o.s. from it, nor is there anything that can serve in its stead’.
