from its words; and this is of two sorts; one is that of which the
meaning is known by referring it to what is termed
مُحْكَم [q. v.]; and the other is that of which the knowledge of its real
meaning is not attainable in any way: (TA:) or it means what is not
understood without repeated con- sideration: (TA in art.
