حصن

1 حَصُنَ, (Mgh, Msb, K,) aor. ـُ (K, TA,) inf. n. حَصَانَةٌ, (S, Mgh, Msb, TA,) said of a حِصْن [or fortress], (S,) or of a place, (Mgh, Msb, TA,) i. q. مَنُعَ, [for which the CK erroneously substitutes وَمَنَعَ, after كَكَرُمَ, as though the verb were حَصُنَ and حَصَنَ,] (K, TA,) [i. e.] It was, or became, مَنِيع [meaning inaccessible, or unapproachable, or difficult of access]; it was, or became, unattainable, by reason of its height; (Msb;) it was fortified, or protected against attack, so that one could not gain access to what was within it. (Mgh.) b2: Hence, (Mgh,) حَصُنَتْ, (S, Msb, K,) aor. ـُ (K,) inf. n. حُصْنٌ (S, Mgh, K) and حَصْنٌ and حِصْنٌ (K) and حَصَانَةٌ; (S, * Msb, * TA;) and ↓ أَحْصَنَتْ, (S, Mgh, K,) inf. n. إِحْصَانٌ; (Mgh;) and ↓ تحصّنت; (K;) said of a woman, She was, or became, continent, or chaste; or she abstained from what was not lawful nor decorous; syn. عَفَّتْ: (S, Mgh, Msb, K:) or she was, or became, married; or she had a husband; (K;) as also حَصَنَتْ and ↓ أُحْصِنَتْ: (Ham p. 101, in which حَصُنَتْ is likewise mentioned in this sense:) or ↓ أَحْصَنَتْ signifies she was, or became, pregnant; (K;) as though pregnancy protected her from a man's going in to her. (TA.) A2: حَصَنَهُ, inf. n. حَصْنٌ, He preserved, or guarded, him, or it, in places inaccessible, or unapproachable, or difficult of access, as in a حِصْن [or fortress]. (TA.) [See also 2 and 4.]2 حصّنهُ, [inf. n. تَحْصِينٌ;] and ↓ احصنهُ; He made it, or rendered it, inaccessible, or unapproachable, or difficult of access; (Msb, K;) he made it, or rendered it, unattainable, by reason of its height; (Msb;) he fortified it, or protected it against attack, so that one could not gain access to what was within it; (Mgh;) namely, a place. (Mgh, Msb.) حَصَّنْتُ القَرْيَةَ I built a wall around the town, or village. (S.) b2: For the former verb, see also 4.

A2: And see 5.4 احصنهُ: see 2. b2: Also He, (God,) or it, (a coat of mail [or the like],) protected, or defended, him. (Fr, Mgh, * TA.) b3: العِفَّةُ تُحْصِنُ مِنَ الرِّيبَةِ [Continence, or chastity, preserves from suspicion, or evil opinion]. (Mgh.) b4: الَّتِى أَحْصَنَتْ فَرْجَهَا, in the Kur [xxi. 91 and lxvi. last verse], means Who preserved her pudendum from that which is unlawful or indecorous; (Zj, Mgh, * TA;) who abstained from what is unlawful or indecorous; or was continent, or chaste. (Msb.) b5: احصن المَرْأَةَ He (her husband) caused the woman to abstain from that which is unlawful or indecorous, or to be continent or chaste; (S, Mgh, K; *) as also ↓ حَصَّنَهَا. (K.) And احصنهُ التَّزَوُّجُ [Marriage caused him to abstain from that which is unlawful &c.]. (K.) b6: [Also He married the woman; i. e. gave her in marriage.] See أُحْصِنَتْ above, in the first paragraph. In the Kur iv. 30, some read فَإِذَا أُحْصِنَّ, meaning And when they are married. (S, TA.) And a poet says, أَحْصَنُوا أُمَّهُمُ مِنْ عَبْدِهِمْ تِلْكَ أَفْعَالُ القِزَامِ الوَكَعَهْ i. e. They married [their mother to their slave: such are the deeds of the mean, the base]. (S.) A2: أَحْصَنَتْ, intrans.: see 1, in two places. b2: In the Kur iv. 30, some read فَإِذَا أَحْصَنَّ; and accord. to Ibn-Mes'ood, this, said of female slaves, means And when they are Muslimehs. (TA.) Accord. to Aboo-Haneefeh, الإِحْصَانُ in a case of stoning involves six conditions; The being a Muslimeh, and free, and of sound intellect, and of the age of puberty, and validly married, and having had her marriage consummated: and in a case of charging with adultery, the being a Muslimeh, and free, and of sound intellect, and of the age of puberty, and continent, or chaste. (Mgh.) b3: And أحْصَنَ He (a man, S, Msb) married, or took a wife. (S, Msb, K.) With the lawyers, إِحْصَانٌ meansThe act of coïtus conjugalis in a case of valid marriage; and accord. to Esh-Sháfi'ee, by a free man who has attained to puberty, and in the case of a free woman who has attained to puberty, among the Muslims and the believers in a plurality of gods; meaning, in a case of valid marriage. (Msb.) 5 تحصّن, said of the enemy, (S, TA,) [He fortified himself: or] he entered the [or a] حِصْن [or fortress]: or protected himself by it: or took it, or made it, as a place of abode. (TA.) b2: and hence, He guarded, or protected, himself in any way. (TA.) b3: See also 1. b4: Also He (a horse, TA) became a حِصَان, (K,) i. e. a stallion, or fit to cover: (TA voce رَاحَ:) or affected to be so: (Az, TA:) [and so ↓ حَصَّنَ or حُصِّنَ; for] a horse in this case is said to bear evidence of التَّحَصُّن and التَّحْصِين. (S, * K, TA.) حِصْنٌ [A fortress; a fort; a fortified place;] a place of which the interior is inaccessible; (K;) any place that is fortified, or protected against attack, so that one cannot gain access to what is within it; (Mgh;) a place that is unattainable, by reason of its height; (Msb;) a fortified city: (TA:) pl. [of mult.] حُصُونٌ (S, Msb, K) and حِصَنَةٌ and [of pauc.] أَحْصَانٌ. (K.) [Hence,] أَبُو الحِصْنِ: see أَبُو الحُصَينِ, below. [Hence, also,] خَيْلُ العَرَبِ حُصُونُهَا ذُكُرُهَا وَإِنَاثُهَا (tropical:) [The horses of the Arabs are their حُصُون; the males thereof and the females thereof]. (TA.) A man said to 'Abd-Allah Ibn-El-Hasan, “My father has left the third of his property for the حُصُون: ” and he replied “ Buy thou horses: ” so in the A: in the M, “Buy thou therewith horses, and mount [men] on them [to fight] in the cause of God. ” (TA.) b2: [Hence, also,] (tropical:) Arms. (K, TA.) Yousay, جَآءَ يَحْمِلُ حِصْنًا (tropical:) He came bearing arms. (TA.) b3: Also The [new moon; or the moon when it is termed] هِلَال: in the K, الهَلَاكُ is erroneously put for الهِلَالُ. (TA.) حَصْنَآءُ: see what next follows.

حَصَانٌ (S, Mgh, Msb, K) and ↓ حَاصِنٌ (S, Mgh, K) and ↓ حَاصِنَةٌ (K) and ↓ حَصْنَآءُ (S, K) and ↓ مُحْصِنَةٌ (Th, S, Mgh, Msb, K) and ↓ مُحْصَنَةٌ, (Th, S, Msb, K,) applied to a woman, Continent, or chaste; or abstaining from what is not lawful nor decorous, (Th, S, Mgh, Msb, K,) or from that which induces suspicion or evil opinion: (Sh and TA in explanation of the first of these epithets:) or married; having a husband: (K:) or حَصَانٌ has both of these significations: (Ham p. 101:) and accord. to Th, (S,) ↓ مُحْصَنَةٌ, with fet-h only, has the latter signification; (S, Mgh, * Msb; *) and means caused to be continent or chaste, or to abstain from that which is unlawful or indecorous, by her husband: (Mgh: [and the same is implied in the S:]) and this epithet is also applied to a woman emancipated: and to one having become a Muslimeh: (Az, TA:) [certain particular applications of ↓ مُحْصِنَةٌ have been implicatively shown above: see 4:] the pl. of حَصَانٌ is حُصُنٌ and حَصَانَاتٌ: and the pl. of ↓ حَاصِنٌ and ↓ حَاصِنَةٌ is حَوَاصِنُ and حَاصَنَاتٌ: the former of which (حواصن) also signifies pregnant, (K,) applied to women: (TA:) the pl. محصنات, in the first instance of its occurrence in ch. iv. [verse 28] of the Kur, is read by all ↓ مُحْصَنَات, (A 'Obeyd, TA,) meaning having husbands; (A 'Obeyd, Mgh, Msb, TA;) because when such women are made captives, their marriage-tie is cut: but in other instances, some read thus, understanding it in the sense last explained; and others read ↓ مُحْصِنَات, as meaning that have become Muslimehs: (A 'Obeyd, TA:) in the Kur iv. 29, it means free women: and in the Kur v. 7, continent, or chaste, women: (Mgh: [in the Msb, it is said to have the latter of these last two meaning in 4:25, and the former of them in 5:5:]) ↓ مُحْصَنَات is the more common in the language of the Arabs. (Fr, TA.) b2: حَصَانٌ also signifies A pearl, or a large pearl; syn. دُرَّةٌ: (K:) because it is protected in the interior of the shell that contains it. (TA.) حِصَانٌ A generous, or high-bred, horse, (Msb, K,) of whose seed one is niggardly: (K:) or a male horse: (Mgh, K:) or this latter is a secondary meaning, originating from frequency of usage: (S, Msb:) or a stallion horse; or one fit to cover: (TA voce رَاحَ:) the حِصَان is. so called because he preserves his rider: (TA:) or because his back is like the حِصْن to his rider; (Mgh, Msb;) wherefore horses are called حُصُونٌ: (Mgh:) or because one is niggardly of his seed, so that he is not made to cover any but a generous mare: (S, Mgh, Msb:) pl. حُصُنٌ. (Mgh, Msb, K.) حَصِبينٌ, applied to a place, (Msb, TA,) or to a حِصْن [or fortress], (S,) Inaccessible, or unapproachable, or difficult of access; syn. مَنِيعٌ; (Msb, K; *) [unattainable, by reason of its height; fortified, or protected against attack, so that one cannot gain access to what is within it; (see حَصُنَ, of which it is the part. n.;)] a building that protects him who has recourse to it for refuge. (Sb, TA.) b2: هُوَ الحَصِينُ أَنْ يُرَامَ, meaning مِنْ أَنْ يُرَامَ ↓ أَحْصَنُ: see (near its end) the first paragraph in art. ال. b3: دِرْعٌ (K) and حَصِينَةٌ (Sh, K) A coat of mail firmly, strongly, or compactly made: (K:) or trusty, or trusted in, having the rings [for الخلق in the L and TA, I read الحَلَق,] near together; such that weapons produce no effect upon it: (Sh, L, TA:) so called because it is [as] a حِصْن to the body. (Er-Rághib, TA.) حُصَيْنٌ dim. of حِصْنٌ. b2: Hence,] أَبُوالحُصَيْنِ The fox; syn. الثَّعْلَبُ; (S, K;) so called because of his protecting himself from causes of harm by his acuteness; (Har p. 663;) as also أَبُو

↓ الحِصْنِ. (M, K.) حَاصَنٌ and حَاصِنَةٌ: see حَصَانٌ, in four places. b2: The latter also signifies A man's wife: and so حَاضِنَةٌ. (TA.) أَحْصَنُ [More, and most, strongly fortified, or protected against attack]. (TA in art. لوم.) See also حَصِينٌ.

مُحْصَنٌ Wheat stored up. (TA in art. عسى.) b2: A man caused, by marriage, to abstain from that which is unlawful or indecorous, or to be continent or chaste; expl. by قَدْ أَحْصَنَهُ التَّزَوُّجُ. (K.) And A man married, or having a wife; (S, Msb, K;) as also ↓ مُحْصِنٌ: (Zj, Msb:) the former anomalous [if أُحْصِنَ be not allowable as meaning, like أَحْصَنَ, “he married,” or “ took a wife: ” but see 1 and 4]. (S, Msb.) For the fem., مُحْصَنَةٌ, and its pl., مُحْصَنَاتٌ, see حَصَانٌ, in four places.

مُحْصِنٌ: see مُحْصَنٌ: and for the fem., مُحْصِنَةٌ, and its pl., مُحْصِنَاتٌ, see حَصَانٌ, in three places.

مِحْصَنٌ A lock; syn. قُفْلٌ. (K.) b2: The piece of iron that extends upwards upon the nose of the horse, having its base in the كِعَامَة, which is the iron thing that embraces, or clasps, (تَلْتَقِمُ,) the muzzle of the horse.

b3: A [basket of the kind called] زَبِيل: (K:) one should not say مِحْصَنَةٌ. (TA.)

(TA.) ↓ أَرْفَؤُوا

إِلَى جَزِيرَةٍ occurs in a trad. [as meaning They brought the ship near to an island]: and some say أَرْفَيْتُ for أَرْفَأْتُ; which latter is the original. (TA.) b2: [Hence, accord. to ISd in the M, but this I think doubtful,] رَفَأَ الثَّوْبَ, (Az, T, S, M, Mgh, Msb, K,) aor. as above, (Az, T, S, Mgh, Msb,) and so the inf. n., (Az, T, S, Mgh,) He repaired, or mended, [or darned,] the garment, (S, Msb,) where it was rent; (S;) or he closed up what was rent in the garment, drawing the parts together, (M, Mgh, K,) by texture [with the needle, i. e. darning]: (Mgh:) and sometimes it is pronounced without ء; (S;) [i. e.,] one says also [رَفَا الثَّوْبَ, and] رَفَوْتُهُ, aor. ـُ (Msb,) inf. n. رَفْوٌ; (IAar, T, Msb;) and رَفَيْتُهُ, aor. ـِ inf. n. رَفْىٌ, which is of the dial. of Benoo-Kaab; (Msb;) but this last is strange. (TA.) [See 1 in art. رفو.] One says, مَنِ آغْتَابَ خَرَقَ وَمَنِ اسْتَغْفَرَ رَفَأَ (tropical:) [He who traduces another, behind his back or otherwise, though with truth, rends, and he who begs forgiveness repairs]: (S, M:) i. e., by الاِغْتِيَاب he rends his religion, and by الاِسْتِغْفَار he repairs it. (M.) b3: And [hence,] رَفَأَ بَيْنَهُمْ He effected a reconciliation, or made peace, between them; (M, K;) like رَقَأَ.

(TA.) b5: See also 3. b6: رَفَأَ is also said to signify تَزَوَّجَ [He married; or took a wife]; (TA;) or so رَفا [without ء]. (T.) 2 رفّآهُ, (T, S, M, K,) inf. n. تَرْفِئَةٌ and تَرْفِىْءٌ, (T, S, K,) He said to him, (namely, a man who had had a wife given to him, T, S, M,) بِالرِّفَآءِ وَالبَنِينَ; (T, S, M, K; [see رِفَآءٌ, below;]) as also رفّاهُ, without ء. (TA.) 3 رافأهُ, (Az, T, S, M,) inf. n. مُرَافَأَةٌ; (Az, T;) and ↓ ارفأهُ, (K, but there without any objective complement,) and ↓ رَفَأَهُ; (TA;) He treated him in an easy and a gentle manner; or abated to him the price, or payment; syn. حَابَاهُ; (Az, T, S, M, K; *) فِى البَيْعِ [in selling]: (Az, T, S:) or ↓ ارفأهُ signifies دَارَاهُ [he treated him with gentleness, or blandishment; soothed, coaxed, wheedled, or cajoled, him; &c.]: (IAar, M:) or ارفأ is also syn. with دَارَى; and so is رافأ. (K.) 4 ارفأ He, or it, drew near, or approached. (K.) You say, ارفأتِ السَّفِينَةُ The ship drew near, or approached, (T, TA,) to the land, (T,) or to the part of the land that was near, or to the bank of a river. (TA.) b2: ارفأ إِلَيْهِ He inclined to, or towards, him, or it; (Fr, T, K; *) as also ارفى. (Fr, T.) And (K) He had recourse, or he betook himself, or repaired, to him, or it, for refuge, protection, preservation, concealment, covert, or lodging; (S, M, K;) as also ارفى. (TA in art. رفو.) b3: He combed, or combed and dressed, his hair. (K, * TA.) A2: As a trans. v. : see 1, in two places: b2: and see also 3, in two places.6 تَرَافَؤُوا They agreed together; or were of one mind or opinion: (S, K:) and they aided, or assisted, one another; or leagued together, and aided one another. (S.) And ترافؤوا عَلَى الأَمْرِ They agreed together to do the thing: (M:) they agreed together, or conspired, to do the thing, their stratagem and their affair being one. (T, TA.) رِفَآءٌ Close union; coalescence; (ISk, T, S, M, K;) consociation; these being the meanings if the root be with ء: (ISk, T:) good consociation: (T:) and composure of disunited circumstances or affairs: (K:) or reparation: (Msb:) and concord, or agreement; (T, S, M;) like مُرَافَاتٌ; [if the root be] without ء: (T:) or, if the root be without ء, the meaning is tranquillity; or freedom from disturbance, or agitation. (ISk, T, S.) Such are said to be the meanings in the saying, بِالرِّفَآءِ وَالبَنِينَ; (ISk, T, S, M, Msb, K; [see 2;]) i. e. [May it (the marriage) be] with close union, &c., (K, TA,) and increase (TA) [or rather the begetting of sons, not daughters]: or with reparation [of circumstances or condition, and the begetting of sons]. (Msb.) It is said, in a trad., that the Prophet forbade the use of this phrase, disliking it because it was a customary form of congratulation in the Time of Ignorance: (T, * TA:) and some relate that he used to say, in its stead, بَارَكَ اللّٰهُ عَلَيْكَ and بَارَكَ فِيكَ [May God bless thee], and جَمَعَ بَيْنَكُمَا فِى خَيْرٍ [may He unite you two in prosperity]. (T, TA.) Some of them used to congratulate him who had taken a wife by saying, بِالرِّفَآءِ وَالثَّبَاتِ وَالبَنِينَ لَا البَنَاتِ [May it be with close union, &c., and constancy, and the begetting of sons, not daughters]. (Har p. 364.) And one says also, بَيْنَ القَوْمِ رِفَآءٌ, meaning Between the people is close union, and concord, or agreement. (Msb.) رَفَّآءٌ [A darner;] one who closes up what is rent in garments, drawing the parts together, (M, Mgh, K,) by texture [with the needle, i. e. darning]; in Pers\. رَفُوگَرْ.

(M, K.) And صَمَّتِ الأُذُنُ, aor. as above, inf. n. صَمَمٌ, The ear was, or became, deaf. (Msb.) b2: [And He was, or became, as though he heard not.] One says, صَمَّ عَنْهُ (assumed tropical:) [He was as though he heard not him, or it; he was deaf to him, or it]; (M;) and عَنْهُ ↓ أَصَمَّ [meaning the same]. (S, M.) b3: [Hence صَمَّ signifies also (assumed tropical:) He or it, uttered, or made, no sound or noise; like him who, not hearing, returns no reply to a call or question; (assumed tropical:) was dumb, or mute.] One says, صَمَّتْ حَصَاةٌ بِدَمٍ (tropical:) [A pebble made no sound in falling upon the ground by reason of blood]; i. e. the blood was so copious that if one threw a pebble into it no sound would be heard in consequence thereof, (As, S, M, Meyd, K, TA,) because it would not fall upon the ground: (As, S, Meyd:) the saying is a prov. (Meyd.) And hence the saying of Imra-el-Keys, صمِّى ابْنَةَ الجَبَلِ, (S, K,) in the following verse: بُدِّلْتُ مِنْ وَائِلٍ وَكِنْدَةَ عَدْ وَانَ وَفَهْمًا صَمِّى ابْنَةَ الجَبَلِ (assumed tropical:) [I have been given in exchange, for Wáïl and Kindeh,' Adwán and Fahm: make no sound, O pebble: app. meaning that he would shed much blood]: (S, TA: but this verse is omitted in one of my two copies of the S:) or the meaning is, O echo; (S, M, Meyd, K;) so they assert: (AHeyth, TA:) or O calamity; the saying being a prov.; (Meyd, TA;) applied to the case of a severe calamity; as though meaning be dumb, O calamity; said by As to be applied in relation to an event deemed excessively foul or evil: (TA:) or O serpent; (Meyd, TA;) which is said to be the primary meaning: (Meyd:) or O rock. (A Heyth, K, TA. [See also the second of the sentences here following.]) One says also, صَمَّ صَدَاهُ (tropical:) [His echo became dumb, or may his echo become dumb;] meaning he perished, or may he perish. (S, K, TA.) And ↓ صَمِّى صَمَامِ [in the CK erroneously written صُمِّى] meaning (tropical:) Increase, O calamity: (S, K, TA:) or it is applied to a man who brings to pass a calamity, and means be dumb, O calamity: (TA:) or صَمَامِ means calamity, and war; but primarily, the serpent; and this saying, like صَمِّى ابْنَةَ الجَبَلِ, is a prov. said when two parties refuse to make peace, and persist in opposition; meaning answer not the charmer, O serpent, but continue as thou art wont to be. (Meyd.) b4: صَمَمٌ in relation to stones, (Lth, TA,) or stone, (M,) [app. as an inf. n.,] signifies The being hard [and solid (see أَصَمُّ)]; or [as a simple subst.] hardness [and solidity]: (Lth, M, TA:) and in relation to a spear-shaft, the being compact; or compactness.

And صُمَّ, with damm, He was struck vehemently. (IAar, TA.) 2 صمّم, said of a sword, (S, M, K, TA,) accord. to the K, signifies It struck the joint, and cut, or severed, it: or i. q. طَبَّقَ: but this is at variance with what is said by J and other leading authorities; which is as follows: (TA:) it penetrated into the bone, and cut, or severed, it; but when it strikes the joint, and cuts, or severs, it, one says طَبَّقَ; a poet says, describing a sword, يُصَمِّمُ أَحْيَانًا وَحِينًا يُطَبِّقُ [It penetrates into the bone, &c., sometimes, and at one time it strikes the joint, &c.]: (S, TA:) or it passed into the bones: (M:) and ↓ صَمْصَمَ, said of a sword, signifies the same: (M, TA:) or تَصْمِيمٌ signifies a sword's penetrating into that which is struck with it without its causing any sound to be heard; from الصَّمَمُ in the ear. (Ham p. 326.) b2: And hence تَصْمِيمٌ signifies also (tropical:) A man's keeping constantly, or perseveringly, to the thing that he purposes, until he attains [it]. (Ham ubi suprà.) One says, صَمَّمَ عَلَى كَذَا (assumed tropical:) He kept constantly, or perseveringly, to his opinion in respect of such a thing, after his desiring to do it. (IDrd, TA.) b3: And صمّم, (S, Msb, K, TA,) inf. n. تَصْمِيمٌ, (M, K,) (tropical:) He acted, or went on, with penetrative energy, or with sharpness, vigorousness, and effectiveness, (S, M, Msb, K, TA,) in an affair, (M, Msb, K, TA,) and in journeying, (S, K, TA,) in this case said of a horse, (Z, TA,) and in other things; (S;) as also ↓ صَمْصَمَ. (K.) b4: And (tropical:) He bit, and infixed his canine teeth, (S, K, TA,) and did not let go what he bit: (S, TA:) or صمّم فِى عَضَّتِهِ he infixed his teeth [or canine teeth] in his bite.

(M, K.) b2: [Hence,] أَصَمَّنِى الكَلَامَ (assumed tropical:) He, or it, diverted me from hearing the speech; as though he, or it, rendered me deaf. (TA.) b3: [Hence, اصمّهُ signifies also (assumed tropical:) He, or it, caused him to be as though he heard not. b4: And hence, (assumed tropical:) He, or it, caused him, or it, to utter, or make, no sound or noise; like him who, not hearing, returns no reply to a call, or question; to be dumb, or mute.] One says, أَصَمَّ اللّٰهُ صَدَاهُ (tropical:) [May God make his echo to return no sound;] meaning may God destroy him: (TA:) a prov., said in imprecating death upon a man; the صدي being that which returns the like of his voice, or cry, from the mountains &c.; and when a man dies, the صدي hears not from him anything that it should answer him, so that it is as though it were deaf. (Meyd.) [In the vulgar language, ↓ صَمَّمَ likewise signifies (assumed tropical:) He silenced him, reduced him to silence, or closed his mouth: so says De Sacy, in his Chrest. Arabe, sec. ed., iii. 379.] b5: And اصمّهُ [in the CK اَصْمَمَهُ] also signifies He found him to be أَصَمّ [i. e. deaf]. (S, M, K.) One says, نَادَاهُ فَأَصَمَّهُ [He called him, or called to him, and found him to be deaf]. (TA.) And أَصَمَّ دُعَاؤُهُ His call found persons deaf to it, (Th, M, K,) who would not hear his censure. (K.) b6: See also 1, near the end.6 تصامّ He feigned himself to be أَصَمّ [i. e. deaf]. (S.) [It is intrans. and trans.] You say, تصامّ عَنْهُ and تصامّهُ He feigned to him that he was deaf. (M.) And تصامّ عَنِ الحَدِيثِ (M, K) and تصامّهُ (M) He feigned (M, K) to his companion (M) that he was deaf to the narrative, or story. (M, K. *) تَصَامَمْتُهُ means تَصَامَمْتُ مِنْهُ [or عَنْهُ], i. e. I made a show of being deaf [to it], and feigned myself inattentive [to it]. (Ham p.

(K.) b4: Also [app. (assumed tropical:) The vermiform appendage of the cœcum;] the thin, or slender, extremity of the عفجة: (K: [the last word in this explanation is thus, without any syll. signs, in my MS. copy of the K and in the TA: in the CK, عَفِجَة: but the right reading is evidently عِفَجَة, which is said in the TA, in art. عفج, to be, like أَعْفَاجٌ, a pl. of عَفَجٌ and its dial. vars.: see this last word:] thus called [in my opinion because resembling a meatus auditorius that is closed, and therefore deaf; though said to be so called] because of its hardness. (TA.) b5: And نَاقَةٌ صَمَّآءُ (tropical:) A fat she-camel: (K, TA:) and, (K,) or as some say, (TA,) one that has just conceived, or become pregnant.

(TA.) b2: See also صِمْصِمٌ. b3: And (assumed tropical:) A strong camel: so says Aboo-' Amr Esh-Sheybánee: and he cites the saying, حَمَّلْتُ أَثْقَالِى مُصَمِّمَاتِهَا [as meaning I loaded their strong camels with my burdens]: (TA:) or the مُصَمِّمَات, here mentioned, are the camels that do not utter a grumbling cry; patient of travel. (Ham p. 791.)
