     وَيَقُولُونَ مَثْرَد لِصَحْفَةٍ يُؤْكَلُ فِيهَا وَهُوَ مُوَلَّدٌ. وَلَوْ أَتَوْا بِهِ عَلَى قِيَاسٍ لَقَالُوا مَثْرِدٌ أَيْ مَوْضِعُ ٱلثَّرْدِ كَمَا يُقَالُ مَضْرِبٌ لِمَوْضِعِ ٱلضَّرْبِ.

     wayaqūlūna maṯrad liṣaḥfatin yuʔkalu fīhā wahuwa muwalladun. walaw ʔataw bihi ʕalā qiyāsin laqālū maṯridun ʔay mawḍiʕu ṯ-ṯardi kamā yuqālu maḍribun limawḍiʕi ḍ-ḍarbi.

     They say maṯrad for a bowl one eats from, this is a late bastard form. To draw an analogy, we would have to say maṯrid, as the place of ṯard (crumbs), just as one calls a site a place where on sets things up.
