(نَهَشَ) النُّونُ وَالْهَاءُ وَالشِّينُ أَصْلٌ صَحِيحٌ، وَمَعْنَاهُ مَعْنَى الَّذِي قَبْلَهُ. قَالَ ابْنُ دُرَيْدٍ: قَالَ الْأَصْمَعِيُّ النَّهْسُ وَالنَّهْشُ وَاحِدٌ، وَهُوَ أَخْذُ اللَّحْمِ بِالْفَمِ. وَخَالَفَهُ أَبُو زَيْدٍ فَقَالَ: النَّهْشُ: بِمُقَدَّمِ الْفَمِ.
Volunteers needed (having reasonably advanced knowledge of Arabic, and relatively good English): There are 20-40 dictionaries that can be added to The Arabic Lexicon once the digital versions are reviewed and any necessary corrections carried out (sometimes this can be done in a few hours). If you're interested, please email me at this address: contact@hawramani.com.
- My new book Learning Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) for Complete Beginners is now available on Amazon.com in paperback and Kindle formats. It uses the same innovative learning method as my highly related Learning Quranic Arabic for Complete Beginners.
