غشو

غشو and غشى 1 غَشِيَهُ, aor. ـْ inf. n. غَشَاوَةٌ, It covered, or concealed, him, or it; (TA;) as also ↓ تغشّاهُ. (MA.) And one says, غَشَانِى اللَّيْلُ, i. e. غَشِيَنِى

[The night covered me, or concealed me: or the meaning may be that which next follows]. (JK.)

b2: غَشِيَهُ, (K, TA,) aor. and inf. n. as above, (TA,) is said of an event (أَمْرٌ), [and of heat, (S and K in art. دغم,) and of cold, (K in that art.,) and of an affection of the mind or body, and of various things, sometimes in like manner of a man, and of a company of men,] in a similar sense; and so ↓ تغشّاهُ; (K, TA;) both signifying It came upon, [or invaded, so as to surprise, and so as to over-whelm, properly meaning] as a thing that covered, him, or it. (K, * TA.) Hence, in the Kur [liii. 16], إِذْ يَغْشَى السِّدْرَةَ مَا يَغْشَى [When there was coming upon the lote-tree so as to cover it, or overspread it, what was so coming]. (TA.) And in the same [xx. 81], فَغَشِيَهُمْ مِنَ الْيَمِّ مَا غَشِيَهُمْ [and there came upon them so as to overwhelm them, of the sea, what so came upon them]. (TA.) and in the same [viii. 11], إِذْ يَغْشَاكُمُ [followed by االنُّعَاسُ, i. e. When it (drowsiness) was coming upon you, or overcoming you]; accord. to one reading; other readings being يُغْشِيكُمُ and يُغَشِّيكُمُ [followed by النُّعَاسَ]. (TA.) See also غَاشِيَةٌ, in three places.

b3: [A somewhat similar signification of غَشِيَهُ will be found below.]

b4: One says of the night, يَغْشَى بِظُلْمَتِهِ كُلَّ مَا بَيْنَ

السَّمَآءِ وَالأَرْضِ [It covers, or conceals, with its darkness, everything that is between the heaven and the earth]. (Jel in xcii. 1.) And [hence it is said that] غَشِىَ اللَّيْلُ means The night was, or became, dark; as also ↓ اغشى. (Msb, TA.)

b5: [And غَشِيَهُ, and غَشِىَ بَصَرَهُ and ↓ غشّاهُ, signify It, i. e. light (ضَوْءٌ), came upon him, and upon his eye, with an overpowering effect, so as to obscure, or dazzle, his sight.]

b6: غَشِيَهُ also signifies جَآءَهُ (S) or أَتَاهُ (Mgh, Msb, K) [which have two meanings, i. e. He came to him, and he did it; both, perhaps, here meant, for both are well-known

meanings of غَشِيَهُ]; and, thus used, the aor. is as above, (TA,) and the inf. n. is غَشَيَانٌ, (S, TA,) or غِشْيَانٌ, (so in one of my copies of the S,) or the subst. is ↓ غِشْيَانٌ, (Msb,) with kesr, (Mgh, Msb,) syn. with إِتْيَانٌ. (Mgh.) You say, غَشِىَ فُلَانًا He came to such a one; syn. أَتَاهُ; as also غَشَاهُ, aor. ـْ (K.)

b7: [Hence,] غَشِيَهَا, (S, MA, Msb, K,) inf. n. غَشَيَانٌ or غِشْيَانٌ, (accord. to different copies of the S,) or the latter and غَشْىٌ, (MA,) or ↓ غِشْيَانٌ is the subst. in this case also, (Msb,) and syn. with إِتْيَانٌ, metonymically used in the sense of جِمَاعٌ, (Mgh, Msb,) (tropical:) He compressed her; (S, MA, Msb, K;) namely, a woman; (MA, K;) as also ↓ تغشّاها. (MA, Msb, TA.)

b8: And غَشِىَ

إِلَيْهِ مَحْجَرًا He did to him (أَتَى إِلَيْهِ) a forbidden action. (TA in art. حجر.) [Hence,] ↓ غِشْيَانُ

المَحَارِمِ [The doing of forbidden things]. (Mgh and Msb and K in art. رهق.) And غَشِىَ الشَّىْءَ He occupied himself with the thing, engaged in it, or personally managed or conducted it; syn. لَابَسَهُ and بَاشَرَهُ. (JM.) [And ↓ تغشّى has a similar meaning; for it is said that] التَّغَشِّى and الغَشْىُ

primarily signify الإِتْيَانُ and المُلَابَسَةُ: and they took an extended range in using the former, so that one said, بِالعَدْلِ ↓ تَغَشَّاهُمْ or بِالْجَوْرِ [app. meaning He ruled them with equity or with injustice]. (Ham p. 27.) [And one says, يَغْشَى

الحُرُوبَ (see Ham p. 27), meaning He plunges into wars, or battles: see مُغَامِسٌ, and its verb.]

b9: One says also, غَشِيَهُ بِالسَّوْطِ, (K, in which it is said to be like رَضِيَهُ, and so accord. to some copies of the S, the phrase in these being غَشِيَتُ

الرَّجُلَ بِالسَّوْطِ,) or بِهِ ↓ غَشَّاهُ, (accord. to other copies of the S, the verb in these being written غَشَّيْتُ, and thus accord. to an explanation of قَنَّعَ

رَأْسَهُ بِالسَّوْطِ in art. قنع in the K,) He struck him (i. e. a man, S) with the whip; he flogged him. (S, K.)

A2: غُشِىَ عَلَيْهِ, (S, MA, Mgh, Msb, K,) inf. n. غَشْىٌ, (S, Mgh, * K,) or غُشْىٌ, (MA,) or both, (Msb,) and غَشَيَانٌ, (K, TA, and so in some copies of the S,) or غِشْيَانٌ, (so in other copies of the S,) and ↓ غَشْيَةٌ, (S, Mgh,) or this last is an inf. n. of un., (Msb,) or it is the subst., (K,) He swooned, i. e. became senseless: (MA, PS:) or i. q. أُغْمِىَ عَلَيْهِ [q. v.]: (K, TA:) or الغَشْىُ, or الغُشْىُ, is a state of inertness (تَعَطُّل, Mgh, Msb) of the motive and sensitive faculties, (Mgh,) or of the motive faculties and of the sensitive will, (Msb,) on account of the weakness of the heart, (Mgh, Msb,) and the soul's becoming drawn together thereto by a cause that suppresses it (يُخْفِيهِ)

within so that it finds not a place of passage, and of the causes thereof is a strangling [or stifling], or hurtful, cold repletion, or vehement hunger, (Mgh,) or vehement pain, (Mgh, Msb,) or cold, or excessive hunger, (Msb,) or an evil affection in some associate, or participating, organ, such as the heart and the stomach: (Mgh:) some say that it is the same as الإِغْمَآءُ [for which see its proper art.]; (Mgh, Msb;) thus say the scholastic theologians: (Mgh:) others (the physicians and the lawyers, Mgh) make a difference between these two terms. (Mgh, Msb.)

2 غَشَّيْتُ الشَىْءَ, (S, Msb,) inf. n. تَغْشِيَةٌ, (S,) I covered the thing; put a cover, or covering, upon it, or over it. (S, Msb.) One says, غَشَّى

اللّٰهُ عَلَى بَصَرِهِ, inf. n. as above; and ↓ اغشى; (K, TA;) i. e. God put a covering upon, or over, his eyes. (TA.) And hence, (TA,) it is said in the Kur [xxxvi. 8], فَهُمْ لَا يُبْصِرُونَ ↓ فَأَغْشَيْنَاهُمْ and we have put a covering over them [so that they shall not see]. (S, TA.)

b3: غشّاهُ said of light; see 1, former half.

b4: See also 4.

b5: غشّاهُ بِالسَّوْطِ: see 1, latter half.

b6: One says also, غَشَّيْتُهُ سَيْفًا, or سَوْطًا, [in my original غشيته, without any syll.

sign, but app. as I have written, for I do not find any instance of غَشِىَ as doubly trans., meaning I equipped him with a sword, or a whip,] like the saying كَسَوْتُهُ سَيْفًا, or عَمَّمْتُهُ. (TA.)

4 اغشاهُ إِيَّاهُ and ↓ غشّاهُ He made it to cover it; or to be a cover, or covering, upon it, or over it. (MA, * TK, and Bd * and Jel * in vii. 52, &c.)

b2: And [hence,] both signify He made it, i. e. an event (أَمْر), to come upon, [or invade, so as to surprise, or so as to overwhelm, properly meaning] as a thing that covered, him, or it. (K, * TA,) Both of these verbs are used in this sense in the Kur-án accord. to different readings in vii. 52 and xiii. 3, and likewise (as mentioned in the first paragraph of this art., q. v.,) in viii. 11. (TA.)

b3: Also, the former, He made him, or it, to come to him. (S, MA, TA.)
