She made for herself the food for the occasion of child-birth, (A, * K,) i. e., what is called خُرْسَة. (TA.) Hence the prov. تَخَرَّسِى يَانَفْسُ لَا مُخَرِّسَةَ لَكِ (A, * TA) Make thou the food for child-birth for thyself, O self: there is no maker of it for thee: said by a woman who had given birth to a child and had not any one to care for her: alluding to a man's taking care for himself: (K, TA:) and also related [in the A] without the words يا نفس. (TA.)

[He feigned himself dumb, or speechless,] is from خَرِسَ المَجْلِسُ: hence إِذَا شَهِدْتَ مَنْ لَا يَفْهَمُ عَنْكَ فَتَخَارَسٌ [When thou art present with, or beholdest, him who will not understand what thou sayest, then feign thyself dumb, or speechless]. (A.)
