And ثَبِيرٌ ↓ مَا أَرْسَى (tropical:) As long as Thebeer [the mountain so called] remains [firm] in its place. (TA.) [Its being said that this is tropical is app. meant to indicate that the verbs above are properly used only in relation to a ship, in senses explained in what follows; which, however, I doubt.] You say also, رَسَتْ قَدَمُهُ, meaning His foot stood firm in war: (M:) or رَسَتْ أَقْدَامُهُمْ فِى الحَرْبِ Their feet stood firm in war.

And ارسى السَّفِينَةَ, [inf. n. as above and also (as is shown by what follows) مُرْسًى, He anchored the ship;] he made the ship to rest, or become stationary, upon the anchor: (TA:) or the meaning is, [in some instances, he grounded the ship; i. e.] he made the lower, or lowest, part of the ship to reach the bottom of the water, so that she remained stationary.

(M, TA. [Golius and Freytag say that its pl. is رِسًى; but on what authority, I know not: the former mentions no authority beside the S and K; and the latter, none but the K.]) رَسِىٌّ  Firm, or steadfast, in good and in evil. (Az, Sgh, K.) ― -b2- And The pole that is fixed in the middle of the [tent called] خِبَآء. (Az, Sgh, K.) رَاس ٍ ذ Stationary, at rest, fixed, fast, firm, steady, steadfast, or stable. (Msb.)

(TA.) مَرْسًى  may be used as an inf. n., or a n. of time, or a n. of place. (Bd in xi. 43 [cited above: see 4].) [As a n. of place, it commonly means An anchorage, or a place of anchoring; a port; or a station for ships: pl. مَرَاس ٍ.] مُرْسًى  may be used as an inf. n., or a n. of time, or a n. of place.
