הגדרה (אנגלית)

By analogy: conducted a thorough check, investigated carefully (originally: checked the validity of the fringes on the tallit).

("He should wrap himself in the fringes as the morning light, and he must inspect the fringes to see if they are whole before wrapping himself, lest he recite a blessing in vain" - Sefer Seder HaYom, Intent of Tzitzit and Tefillin and their Order. Likewise: "Before he wraps himself in the tallit, he should check the fringes to see if they are fit" - Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, 9:7. And also: "He will not first check their fringes nor seek the 'olive's worth' of nationality in her soul" - Bialik / Our Young Song)
