K,
TA,) in, or upon, which one goes to and fro; (

K,
TA,) but the latter is disapproved by the author of the “
Bári'; ” (
Msb,
TA;) A seesaw; i. e. a piece of wood [or a plank] the middle of which is placed upon a heap of earth or the like, then a boy sits upon one end of it and another boy upon its other end, (
Msb,

Jámi' of
Kz, and thus
Th says on the authority of
IAar: (
TA:) [
accord. to the
CK and some
MS. copies of the
K, these two words signify the same as رُجَّاحَةٌ; but
accord. to other copies of the
K, and the
TA, the meaning of this last word is different from that of the two preceding words: see also زُحْلُوقَةٌ:] the
pl. of the first is أَرَاجِيحُ (

pl. word can be thus explained by a
sing. word: (
TA: [but an
inf. n., such as is here used, is often used in explanation of a
sing. and of a dual and of a
pl.]) مِرْجَحٌ: see رَجَاحٌ.
مِرْجَاحٌ: see رَجَاحٌ.
b2: Also
sing. of مَرَاجِيحُ, (
TA,) which signifies (

b2: and also as meaning (assumed
