1 قَمِحَهُ, (S, A, L, K,) aor. ـَ (K,) inf. n. قَمْحٌ; (S;) and ↓ اقتمحهُ; (S, A, L, K;) He ate it, or took it into his mouth, (S, K,) namely, meal of parched barley or wheat, &c., (S, A, L,) not bread nor dates nor the like, but only what is eaten in the manner termed سَفٌّ, (L,) without moistening it, or kneading it with water &c.; syn. اِسْــتَفَّهُ; (S, K;) he took it in the palm of his hand (A, L) [and conveyed it] to his mouth (A) or licked it up. (L.) And قُمْحَةً مِنْهُ ↓ اِقْتَمَحْتُ [I so ate a mouthful thereof, i. e. of what is eaten in the manner described above]. (A.) b2: and ↓ اقتمحهُ likewise signifies, (L, K,) as also قَمِحَهُ, (L,) He drank it, namely, what is called نَبِيذ, (L, K,) and شَرَاب [app. as meaning wine], and water, and milk. (L.) A2: And, from قَمِحَهُ signifying as expl. above, you say, قَمَحَ عَنِ المَآءِ, (A,) or [simply] قَمَحَ, (S, L, K,) with fet-h, (S,) aor. ـَ (L,) inf. n. قُمُوحٌ; (S, L, K;) as also قَمَهَ, aor. ـَ inf. n. قُمُوهٌ; (L;) and ↓ قامح, (A, L,) inf. n. مُقَامَحَةٌ and قِمَاحٌ; (A;) and ↓ تقمّح, and ↓ انقمح; (S, L, K;) He (a camel) raised his head (S, A, K) from the water (A) or at the watering-trough, and refused to drink, (S, K,) his thirst being satisfied, (S, A,) or by reason of loathing, or of the coldness of the water, or of some disease. (A.) And الإِبِلُ ↓ قَامَحَتِ The camels came to the water and did not drink, (S, K,) but raised their heads, (S,) by reason of disease, or of cold, (S, K,) or of the coldness of the water, or because their thirst was satisfied. (TA.) and ↓ شَرِبَ فَتَقَمَّحَ and ↓ انْقَمَحَ [He drank] and raised his head and left drinking by reason of his thirst's being satisfied. (S.) And فُلَانٌ مِنَ المَآءِ ↓ تقمّح Such a one drank water, or the water, with dislike, or loathing. (Az.) ↓ أَشْرَبُ فَأَتَقَمَّحُ, said by Umm-Zara, means (tropical:) [I drink] and I satisfy my thirst until I am not able to drink more, so I raise my head like the [camel that is said to be]

مُقَامِح: (A, TA: *) Az says that التَّقَمُّحُ primarily relates to water, but is metaphorically used by her in relation to milk: she means that she satisfied her thirst with milk until she raised her head from drinking it like as does the camel when he dislikes drinking water: (TA:) or, as some relate her words, she said, فَأَتَقَنَّحُ, (A, TA, *) which [likewise] means, “and I raise my head in consequence of the being satisfied with drinking. ” (A.) [See also art. قنح.] b2: قَمَحَ, aor. ـَ inf. n. قُمُوحٌ, is also expl. by Lth as signifying He (a camel) became very languid by reason of vehement thirst: but accord. to Az, this is wrong. (L.) 2 قمّحهُ, (A, K,) inf. n. تَقْمِيحٌ, (K,) (tropical:) He repelled him (i. e. his companion, A) with a small and paltry thing, in lieu of much that was due to him; (A, K; *) like as the wronging commander does to him who engages with him in a warring, or warring and plundering, expedition, by doling to him the least, or meanest, thing, and choosing for himself in preference to him in the partition of the spoil. (A, TA.) 3 قَاْمَحَ see 1, near the middle, in two places. b2: Hence, (S, A,) شَهْرَا قِمَاحٍ, (S, A, K,) also called ↓ شَهْرَا قُمَاحٍ, (K,) The two coldest, (S, K,) or two of the coldest, (A,) months (S, A, K) of winter; (A;) said by Sh to be شِيبَانُ and مِلْحَانُ; (TA; [in which it is also here said that they are the two months whereof each is called كَانُون: if so, corresponding to December and January O. S.: but see شِيبَانُ, in art. شيب:]) so called because the camels, when they come therein to water, find its coldness hurtful to them, and therefore raise their heads from it. (S.) 4 أُقْمِحَ, (MA,) [in my MS. copy of the K indefinitely written اقمح, and in the CK آقْمَحَ, but it is correctly أُقْمِحَ, as is shown by its being added, after the explanation, in the TA, “ whence ↓ مُقْمَحُونَ in the Kur ” (xxxvi. 7,] and by explanations of this epithet in several of the expositions of the Kur-án, and the like is also indicated in the S,] inf. n. إِقْمَاحٌ, (S,) said of a camel, (MA,) or of a man, and [in this case, but not when said of a camel,] tropical, (TA,) He raised his head, and contracted his eyes: (S, MA, K, TA:) [or he was made to raise his head and to contract his eyes:] it is expl. by Z as in the K. (TA.) b2: [Hence,] one says, (S,) أَقْمَحَهُ الغُلُّ (tropical:) The غُلّ [i. e. the ring, or collar, of iron, for the neck, or the shackle for the neck and hands, consisting of two rings, one for the neck and the other for the hands, connected by a bar of iron,] caused his (i. e. a captive's K) head to be raised, by reason of the straitness thereof; (S, K, TA;) meaning that the bar of the غُلّ, which [by its projecting above the ring around the neck] pricked his chin, did not let him lower his head; as is said in the A. (TA.) b3: الإِقْمَاحُ [as inf. n. of أُقْمِحَ, like أُكْمِحَ (with ك and ح) in form and in meaning,] also signifies (assumed tropical:) The elevating of the head by reason of pride: and so الإِكْمَاخُ. (L and TA in art. كمخ: but in the CK, in that art, الاِقْماخُ, with خ.) And اقمح بِأَنْفِهِ [i. e. أُقْمِحَ] signifies شَمَخَ [i. e. شَمَخَ بِأَنْفِهِ, (assumed tropical:) He magnified, or exalted, himself; was proud; behaved proudly, or disdainfully; or elevated his nose, from pride]; (K, TA;) and raised his head, scarcely ever, or never, lowering it: as though the verb had two contr. significations. (TA.) b4: اقمح said of thirst is expl. by Lth as signifying It rendered a camel very languid: but accord. to Az, this is wrong. (L.) A2: اقمح السُّنْبُلُ The ears [of wheat] became pervaded by the farinaceous substance. (K.) b2: And اقمح البُرُّ, so in the T and L and other lexicons, but in all the copies of the K البُرُّ ↓ اِقْتَمَحَ, The wheat becomes mature قَمْح. (TA.) 5 تَقَمَّحَ see 1, near the middle, in four places.7 إِنْقَمَحَ see 1, near the middle, in two places.8 إِقْتَمَحَ see 1, first quarter, in three places: A2: and see also 4, last sentence.

قَمْحٌ Wheat, syn. بُرٌّ, (S, A, Mgh, L, Msb, K,) and حِنْطَةٌ, and طَعَامٌ, (Msb,) when the farinaceous substance pervades the ears, or from the time when it has attained its full growth to the time when it has become compact: (L:) [and the grain of wheat; as also بُرٌّ and حِنْطَةٌ and طَعَامٌ:] a word of the dial. of Syria. and sometimes used by the people of El-Hijáz; or, as some say, a Coptic word; but the former assertion is the more correct: (TA:) the word بُرٌّ is more chaste: (S in art. بر:) ↓ قَمْحَةٌ signifies a single grain thereof. (Msb.) b2: جَرَى القَمْحُ فِى السُّنْبُلِ means The farinaceous substance pervaded the ears [of wheat]. (L.) قَمْحَةٌ: see the next preceding paragraph.

قُمْحَةٌ A mouthful of قَمِيحَة [q. v.]: (S, K:) or, as more than one have said of water. (TA.) A2: See also القُمَّحَانُ.

القِمْحَى and القِمْحَاةُ The قَيْشَة [q. v.. generally meaning the glans of the penis]. (K.) القِمْحَانَةُ The part between the قَمَحْدُوَة [or occiput] and what is termed نُقْرَةُ القَفَا [which is the small hollow in the back of the neck]. (K.) القُمَّحَانُ, thus accord. to the Basrees, (TA,) and القُمَّحَانُ, and ↓ القُمْحَةُ, (K,) The [plant called] وَرْس [q. v.]: (S, K, TA:) or [the kind of perfume called] الذَّرِيرَةُ: (TA:) or (so accord. to the K and TA, but in the S “ also,”) a substance that comes upon the surface of wine, like الذَّرِيرَة: (S, K, TA:) it is the froth, or scum, thereof: (L, TA:) or, as some say, (TA, but in the K “ and,”) saffron: (K, TA:) or a certain perfume: or a white substance that overspreads wine resembling الذَّرِيرَة: this last is said to be what is meant in the following verse by En-Nábighah [Edh-Dhubyánee], the only poet known by AHn to have mentioned القمّحان: إِذَا فُضَّتْ خَوَاتِمُهُ عَلَاهُ يَبِيسُ القُمَّحَانِ مِنَ المُدَامِ

[When its seals are broken, what is exsiccated of the white substance resembling particles of calamus aromaticus of the wine comes, or appears, upon its surface]. (L, TA.) قُمَاحٌ, a subst. from قَمَحَ or قَامَحَ, Aversion of a camel from drinking, by reason of the thirst's being satisfied, or of loathing, or of the coldness of the water, or of some disease. (L. [See also حُمَامٌ.]) Hence شَهْرَا قُمَاحٍ, also called شَهْرَا قِمَاحٍ: see 3.

إِنَّهُ لَقَمُوحٌ لِلنَّبِيذِ Verily he is a great drinker of the beverage called nebeedh. (ISh.) قَمِيحَةٌ a subst. signifying What is eaten in the manner termed اِقْتِمَاح, [see قَمِحَ,] (S, L,) of the meal of parched barley or wheat, &c., (L,) or such as a digestive stomachic (جُوَارِش [often written جَوَارِش], &c.: (S:) expl. in the K by the word جُوَارِش [only], in some copies with the addition of a final ن [evidently a mistake for ت, since its original in the Pers\. گُوَارِشْ or گُوَارِشْت]: (TA:) app. from القَمْحُ meaning البُرُّ. (S.) b2: [Hence] one says, مَا أَصَابَتِ الإِبِلُ إِلَّا قَمِيحَةً مِنْ كَلَأٍ (tropical:) The camels obtained not [aught] save somewhat of dry herbage which they took into the mouth unmoistened, or licked up. (A, TA.) قَامِحٌ A camel raising his head (S, A, K) from the water (A) or at the watering-trough, and refusing to drink, (S, K,) his thirst being satisfied, (S, A,) or by reason of loathing, or of the coldness of the water, or of some disease: (A:) and disliking water from any cause: (K:) and ↓ مُقَامِحٌ signifies the same, applied to a he-camel, (As, S, A,) and to a she-camel: (As, S, K:) pl. of the former قُمَّحٌ; (S, K;) and of ↓ the latter قِمَاحٌ, which is anomalous, (S,) or this is pl. of قَامِحٌ, or it is [an inf. n.] syn. with مُقَامَحَةٌ, used as an epithet; you say إِبِلٌ قِمَاحٌ; (A;) and إِبِلٌ

↓ مُقَامِحَةٌ. (S.) b2: Also, (K,) as expl. by Lth, and so ↓ مُقَامِحٌ, but, accord. to Az, wrongly, (L,) A camel very languid by reason of vehement thirst. (L, K.) مُقْمَحُونَ: see 4, first sentence.

مُقَامِحٌ, and its fem.: see قَامِحٌ, in three places.

نص

1 نَصَّ الشَّىْءَ, (S,) aor. ـُ (Mgh,) inf. n. نَصٌّ, (Mgh, TA,) He raised the thing; syn. رَفَعَهُ [which is here to be understood, like the English equivalent by which I have rendered it, in several senses, as the sequel will show]. (S, Mgh, TA.) This is the primary signification: (TA:) or, accord. to As, it is from نَصَّ النَّاقَةَ, q. v. infra. (S.) You say, نَصَّ العَرُوسَ, (M, K,) or نَصَّتْهَا, (A, Mgh,) or نَصَّها النِّسَآءُ, (Msb,) aor. as above, (A, Mgh,) and so the inf. n., (Msb,) He, or she, or the women, raised, (A, Msb,) or seated, (K,) or raised and seated, (Mgh,) or showed, or displayed, (M,) the bride upon the مِنَصَّة, (M, A, Msb, K,) or upon the مَنَصَّة. (Mgh.) and نَصَّتِ الظَّبْيَةُ جِيدَهَا The doe-antelope raised, or elevated, her neck. (M, TA.) And نُصَّ فُلَانٌ سَيِّدًا (tropical:) Such a one was set up as a lord, or chief. (A, TA.) And نَصَّ المَتَاعَ, (M, K,) inf. n. as above, (M,) He put the furniture, or goods, or utensils, one upon another. (M, K.) Hence, (TA,) نَصَّ الحَدِيثَ, (M, Msb, TA,) or نَصَّهُ إِلَى

صَاحِبِهِ, (A,) aor. and inf. n. as above, (M, Msb, TA,) (tropical:) He traced up, or ascribed, or attributed, the tradition to the author thereof, resting it on his authority, by mentioning him, or mentioning, uninterruptedly, in ascending order, the persons by whom it had been handed down, up to the author; or mentioning the person who had related it to him from the author, if only one person intervened; syn. رَفَعَهُ; (M, TA;) [i. e.] رَفَعَهُ إِلَى

مَنْ قَالَهُ: (Msb:) IAar says, (TA,) النَّصُّ signifies الإِسْنَادُ إِلَى الرَّئِيسِ الأَكْبَرِ (tropical:) [the tracing up, or ascribing, or attributing, a tradition, in the manner explained above, to the greatest person of authority, here meaning Mohammad, or the author of the tradition]; (K, TA;) [i. e.] نَصُّ الحَدِيثِ signifies إِسْنَادُهُ وَرَفْعُهُ إِلَى الرَّئِيسِ الأَكْبَرِ. (Mgh.) You also say, نَصَّ الحَدِيثَ إِلَيْهِ, (K,) or إِلَى فُلَانٍ, (S,) (tropical:) He ascribed, or attributed, or traced up, the tradition to him, or to such a one, in the manner explained above; syn. رَفَعَهُ. (S, K.) See also أَنَصُّ. b2: نَصَّ الشَّىْءَ (assumed tropical:) He made the thing apparent, manifest, plain, or evident; he showed it, exhibited it, manifested it, evinced it, discovered it, or revealed it. (M, * K.) [The verb seems to be thus used because a thing is rendered conspicuous by being raised. See نَصَّ العَرُوسَ, above.] b3: [Hence, نَصَّ عَلَى شَىْءٍ مَّا, aor. and inf. n. as above, (tropical:) He, or it, (generally said of a passage in the Kur. or a trad.,) made a statement, or a plain, explicit, unequivocal declaration, respecting some, or any, particular thing, not capable of application to any other thing: and he mentioned something, or anything, particularly, or specially; he particularized, or specified it by words; very frequently used in these senses: and such we are to understand from the saying] النَّصُّ also signifies التَّوْقِيفُ وَالتَّعْيِينُ عَلَى شَىْءٍ مَّا: (K:) [for which I would rather read النَّصَّ عَلَى شَىْءٍ مَّا also signifies التَّوْقِيفُ وَالتَّعْيِينُ: adding the observation that التوقيف as syn. with النصّ is restricted in art. وقف in the K to a special relation to the law: and that النَّصُّ عَلَى الشَّىْءِ is often found explained as signifying تَعْيِينُهُ; as, for instance, in p. 377 of Har.:] these significations of النَّصُّ are tropical, from that word as denoting “ elevation ” and “ appearance. ” (TA.) See also نَصٌّ below. b4: [From نَصَّهُ signifying “ he raised it,” and consequently “ he made it apparent,” are derived several other significations, here following.]

b5: يَنُصُّهُمْ [app. for يَنُصُّ مَا عِنْدَهُمْ] occurs in a trad. respecting Heraclius, meaning (assumed tropical:) He elicits, and makes apparent, their opinion: (TA:) or نَصَّ الرَّجُلَ, (S, M, &c.,) inf. n. as above, (M,) signifies (tropical:) he went to the utmost point in questioning, or asking, the man respecting a thing, (S, K,) so as to elicit what he possessed [of information respecting it]; (S;) i. e. (TA) (tropical:) he importuned the man in questioning, or asking, and urged him to tell the utmost that he knew; (A, TA;) or (assumed tropical:) he questioned, or asked, the man respecting a thing so as to elicit the utmost that he possessed [of information respecting it], (M.) [See also 3.]

b6: [In like manner you say,] نَصَّ النَّاقَةَ, (S, M, Mgh, K,) and الدَّابَّةَ, (M, Msb,) aor. as above, (M,) and so the inf. n., (S, M,) He made the she-camel, and the beast, to exert herself to the full, or to the utmost, or beyond measure, in going, or pace; or to go the pace termed مَرْفُوع; syn. رَفَعَهَا فِى السَّيْرِ: (M, Mgh:) or he elicited her utmost pace; (K, TA;) from النَّصُّ as signifying الرَّفْعُ; for the phrase رَفَعَهَا فِى السَّيْرِ necessarily implies the eliciting the utmost of her celerity of pace: (TA:) or he went a vehement pace so as to elicit the utmost that she possessed [of celerity[: (As, S:) or he put her in motion so as to elicit her utmost pace: (A'Obeyd, TA:) or he urged, or incited, her, and elicited her pace: (Msb:) نَصَّ, alone, also occurs in a trad., (M, Msb,) as meaning رَفَعَ نَاقَتَهُ: (M:) and نَاقَتَهُ ↓ نَصْنَصَ signifies the same as نَصَّهَا. (IKtt, TA.) You do not say of a camel نَصَّ, making him the agent, and the verb intrans. (O, * TA.) [In the M, however, I find it said, that النَّصُّ and النَّصِيصُ signify السَّيْرُ الشَّدِيدُ; app. indicating that they are inf. ns., of which the verb is نَصَّ, aor. , accord. to rule, نَصِّ, signifying He went a vehement pace, or vehemently: and Golius says, as on the authority of Ibn-Maaroof, that this verb is used intransitively, with نَصِيصٌ for its inf. n., as signifying valide incessit: but see نَصٌّ below.] b7: [Hence, app.,] النَّصُّ also signifies The urging or inciting [a beast]; syn. الحَثُّ. (M.) b8: and نَصَّ الشَّىْءَ, (M, K,) aor. ـُ inf. n. نَصٌّ, (TA,) He moved the thing; put it in motion, or into a state of commotion; agitated it; stirred it; shook it; (M, K;) as also ↓ نَصْنَصَهُ. (S, M, K.) Hence the saying, فُلَانٌ يَنُصُّ أَنْفَهُ غَضَبًا (K, TA [in the CK, incorrectly, يَنِصُّ,]) Such a one moves about his nose by reason of anger. (TA.) And ↓ نَصْنَصَ لِسَانَهُ He moved about his tongue; (S, M;) like نَضْنَضَهُ; (M;) which is a dial. form; (A'Obeyd, S;) the former being the original; the ص not being, as some assert it to be, substituted for the ض; for these two letters are not of the same kind so as to be commutable. (M.) A2: See also 8.2 نَصَّّ see 3.3 ناصّهُ, (K,) inf. n. مُنَاصَّةٌ, (TA,) He (a man, TA) went to the utmost length with him, (namely his creditor,) in reckoning, so as to omit nothing therein; (K, TA;) as also ↓ نصّصهُ, (K,) inf. n. تَنْصِيصٌ. (TA.) He (God) went to the utmost length with him, (namely a man,) in questioning and in reckoning. (TA.) [See also 1.]6 تناصّ القَوْمُ The people, or company of men, crowded, thronged, or pressed, together. (TA.) 8 انتصّ He, or it, (said of a camel's hump, Lth, TA,) became raised, or elevated, or high: (K, TA:) or (TA) became even and erect. (Lth, K, * TA.) [In a copy of the A, the verb in these senses, and relating to a camel's hump, is written نَصَّ.] You say also, انتصّت العَرُوسُ, (M, K,) or انتصّت على المِنَصَّةِ, (A,) The bride became raised, (A,) or seated, (K,) or shown or displayed, (M,) upon the مِنَصَّة. (M, A, K.) A2: He (a man, TA) drew himself together; contracted himself; or shrank. (Ibn-'Abbád, K, TA.) R. Q. 1 نَصْنَصَ, (S, M, K,) inf. n. نَصْنَصَةٌ, (Sh, M,) He, or it, became in motion, or in a state of commotion; became agitated, stirred, or shaken; moved, or moved about,; bestirred himself or itself; shook. (Sh.) He (a man) shook in his walk, being erect. (M.) He (a camel) shook, or became in a state of commotion, in rising from the ground. (M.) b2: [Also,] said of a camel, it is like حَصْحَصَ; (S;) i. e., it signifies (TA) He (the camel) fixed, or made firm or steady, his knees upon the ground, and put himself in motion, or in a state of commotion, previously to rising. (Lth, K, TA.) [See also نَضْنَضَ.] b3: And He (a camel) made a hollow place in the ground with his breast, in order to lie down. (M, TA.) A2: نَصْنَصَ used transitively, see 1, latter portion, in three places.

نَصٌّ The end, or extremity, of anything; (Az, S, M;) the utmost, or extreme, extent, term, limit, point, or reach, of a thing: this is the primary signification. (Az, TA.) It is said in a trad., (S, M,) of 'Alee, (S,) إِذَا بَلَغَ النِّسَآءُ نَصَّ الحِقَاقِ, فَالعَصَبَةُ أَوُلَى بِهَا مِنَ الأُمِّ (S, * M, K, *) or نَصَّ الحَقَائِقِ, (K, * TA,) but the former is that which is commonly known; (TA;) i. e. When women attain the period of mature intellect, (Mbr, S, K, TA,) and know the real natures of things, (K, art. حق,) [then the male relations on the father's side have a better right to dispose of her in marriage than the mother;] meaning, when they attain to that age at which they are qualified to contend for their rights; [accord. to the former reading;] for this is what is termed الحِقَاق: (K, * TA:) or when they attain to puberty: (Az, TA:) or when they attain to that period at which they become objects of contention for right; when every one of the guardians asserts himself to have the best right: (K:) or الحقاق in the trad. is a metaphorical term, from the same word as applied to camels [when entering upon the fourth year]; (K, * TA;) and الحقائق, also, in this case, accord. to some, properly signifies the same, being a pl. of حِقَّةٌ; (TA in art. حق;) and the meaning is, when they attain to the extreme term of childhood. (M, K.) A2: In the conventional language of men of science, it signifies (tropical:) A thing [or statement] plainly, or explicitly, declared, or made manifest, by God, and his Apostle; of the measure فَعْلٌ in the sense of the measure مَفْعُولٌ: (Msb:) or a نَصّ of the Kur-án, and of the traditions, is an expression, or a phrase, or a sentence, indicating a particular meaning, not admitting any other than it: (TA:) so in the conventional language of the lawyers and the scholastic theologians: (MF, on the خُطْبَة of the K:) or a statute, or an ordinance, indicated by the manifest or plain meaning of words of the Kur-án, and of the Sunneh: from النَّصُّ as denoting “ elevation ” and “ appearance: ”

or, as some say, from نَصَّهُ as signifying “ he elicited, and made apparent, his opinion. ” (TA.) Hence, also, as used by the practical lawyers, it signifies (tropical:) An evidence, or a proof: (TA:) [and particularly a text of the Kur-án, or of the Sunneh, used as an authority in an argument, for proof of an assertion.] The pl. [in all these senses] is نُصُوصٌ. (Msb.) b2: [Also, (assumed tropical:) The text, or very words, of an author, book, writing, or passage: frequently used in this sense.]

A3: Hardness, difficulty, or straitness, of an affair, or a state, or case. (M, TA.) A4: سَيْرٌ نَصٌّ, and ↓ نَصِيصٌ, (S, K,) A vehement pace, in which a beast is made to exert itself to the full, or to the utmost, or beyond measure; or in which the utmost possible celerity is elicited; [this meaning seems to be indicated, though not expressed, in the S;] syn. جِدٌّ رَفِيعٌ: (K:) or, the former, as Az says, in one place, a kind of swift pace: or, as he says in another place, the utmost pace which a beast of carriage is able to attain: (TA:) or نَصٌّ and ↓ نَصِيصٌ signify a vehement pace or going. (M.) See 1.

نَصِيصٌ: see نَصٌّ, last sentence, in two places.

هَوُ نَصَّاصُ الأَنْفِ He is one who moves about his nose [much] by reason of anger. (Ibn-'Abbád, K.) حَيَّةٌ نَصْنَاصٌ A serpent that moves about much. (K.) [See also نَضْنَاضٌ.]

أَنَصُّ [a comparative and superlative epithet from نَصَّ الحَدِيثَ, q. v.]. 'Amr Ibn-Deenár said, مَا رَأَيْتُ رَجُلًا أَنَصَّ لِلْحَدِيثِ مِنَ الزُّهْرِىِّ I have not seen a man more skilled in tracing up, or ascribing, or attributing, a tradition to its author, in the manner explained above, (voce نَصَّ,) than Ez-Zuhree; i. q. أَرْفَعَ لَهُ and أَسْنَدَ. (TA.) مَنَصَّةٌ: see what next follows, throughout.

مِنَصَّةٌ, (S, M, A, Msb, K,) or ↓ مَنَصَّةٌ, (Mgh,) The thing upon which a bride is raised (S, * A, K) and seated, (Mgh,) or shown or displayed, (M,) or upon which she stands (تقف [but this is probably a mistake for تَقْعُدُ, i. e. sits,]) when displayed to the bridegroom, (Msb,) in order that she may be seen (M, Mgh) [and distinguished] from among the women; (Mgh;) being a chair, (Mgh, Msb, TA,) or couch; (TA;) or consisting of pieces of cloth raised, and carpets laid smoothly for a seat: (M:) written with kesr (Msb, K) as being an instrument, (Msb,) or with fet-h [as being a place]: (Mgh:) accord. to some authorities, مِنَصَّةٌ and مَنَصَّةٌ seem to signify the same thing: (TA:) or the latter is the حَجَلَة [i. e. a kind of curtained canopy] (K, TA) over the مِنَصَّة: (TA:) from نَصَّ المَتَاعَ, q. v. (K.) It is said in a proverb, وُضِعَ فُلَانٌ عَلَى المِنَصَّةِ (assumed tropical:) Such a one was exposed to disgrace and infamy: (TA:) or to the utmost disgrace and infamy. (M.)
