Jastrow: טָרוּף

טָרוּף m. 1) (denom. of טָרָף) covered with leaves. Tosef. Neg. VIII, 2, v. טֶרֶף. —2) (part. pass. of טָרַף, cmp. Pi.) disfigured by irregular spots; (oth. opin.) chopped, full of incisions; (oth. opin.) planed, smooth. Ned. 25ᵃ; Shebu. 29ᵇ (ref. to one swearing that he had seen a serpent ‘like the beam of an oil press’) בט׳ he meant ‘spotted’ like a beam &c. Ib. (in answer to the argument כולהו נחשי מיטרף טריפין (or טריפי, not טרפי) that all serpents are ‘spotted’) בשגבו ט׳ (Ms. M. שבגבו) he meant a serpent spotted on the back (and not only around the neck). Ned. l. c. קורת … גבו ט׳ (read גבה) the back of a press beam may be spotted (i.e. no objection of the purchaser is valid based on the spotted condition of the beam); according to the opinion: ט׳ = planed, all beams must be planed, (otherwise the purchaser has a right to reject).—[Other meanings, v. טָרַף.]
