be like عِلْمٌ as inf. n. of عَلِمَ, and said by Az to
be allowable because a simple subst. is put in the
place of an inf. n., He computed by conjecture the
number: and hence خَرْصُ النَّخْلِ, and التَّمْرِ, [the
computing by conjecture the quantity of fruit
upon palm-trees, and of dates,] because خَرْصٌ is
the computing quantity by opinion, not by knowledge. (TA.) ―
