s. m. (M.), ) A party of women collected to spin thread together; a Spinning Bee:—átan dí khiṭ bhaj gaí. The spinning party broke up:—átan dí rann ná kár ná kamm. A woman at a spinning-party is not of the slightest use. (Proverb, on the way women waste their time at spinning parties):—átan vich sahelíyáṇ nit kheḍiṉ te haseṇ; maiṇkúṇ bájh tauṇ dost de rátíṇ ḍiháṇ nahíṇ chaiṉ. In spinning parties the girls are always playing and laughing; without you, friend, I have no rest by night or day.
