He (a-horse) stretched forth his arms, (مَذَّ ضَبْعَيْهِ, Ṣ, M, L, Ḳ,) in running, (Ṣ,) to a degree that he could not exceed, to overtake, (حَتَّى لَا يَجِدَ مَزِيدًا لِلِّحَاقٍ, M, L, Ḳ,) and contracted, or drew in, (حَبَسَ, [perhaps a mistake for خَنَسَ, which may mean either contracted, or threw back,]) his hind legs to a degree that he could not exceed, to overtake, without any confusion [in his motions]. (M, L.)

مَلَذَهُ, aor. ـُ {يَمْلُذُ}, inf. n. مَلْذٌ and مَلَاذَةٌ, He contented him with courteous and soothing speech, and made him to hear that which rejoiced him, without doing, or performing, anything. (T, L.) Accord. to Aboo-Is-ḥáḳ, the ذ in this word is a substitute for ث. (M, L.) See مَلَثَهُ.
