(TA.) ― -b2- He made it near: [the inf. n. being explained in the TA by التقريب; but I incline to think that this is a mistranscription, for التّعْرِيبُ; and that the meaning is, he made it clear, plain, distinct, or perspicuous:] he abridged it: he restricted, or limited, himself in it, namely, a saying, and abridged of it what was needful.
