S,
O,) He grasped it; (
S,
O,
K;) namely, a thing [such, for
ex., as a bow]: (

TA.)
b3: عَجَسَ and ↓ تعجّس alone signify He was, or became, slow, tardy, late, or backward: (

أَمْرَهُ He searched repeatedly after the knowledge of his (i. e. another's
S, O) affair, or case. (

O, or ↓ بِعُجْسَةٍ,
K, [but see what follows,]) of the night: (

K:) El-Marrár Ibn-Sa'eed El-Fak'asee says, describing his travelling-companions, وَإِذَا هُمُ ارْتَحَلُوا بِلَيْلٍ حَابِسٍ
↓ المُتَعَجِّسِ ↓ أُخْرَى النُّجُومِ بِعَجْسَةِ [And when they departed in an impeding night, in the last period of the appearance of the stars, in a last portion of the night of him who goes forth at that time]. (O: in which بعجسة is thus written, with fet-h and damm, and with مَعًا above them.) [It is also said in the O (immediately after this verse), and likewise in the
K and
TA (in neither of which is the verse cited), in all of them probably from one and the same source, that ↓ المُتَعَجِّسُ means المُتَشَمْخِرُ; and it is added in the
TA that this has been mentioned in its place: but it is not mentioned in its proper art. in the O nor in the
K nor in the
TA; and it is evidently a mistranscription, for المُسْتَحِرُ, part.
n. of اِسْتَحَرَ (
q. v. voce أَسْحَرَ), and therefore I have rendered المُتَعَجِّس as above.]

O,) and سَجِيسَ
↓ عَجِيسٍ and سَجِيسَ عَجِيسَ, (

dim. form, (
