أَنْكَبُ عَنِ الحَقِّ, and عَنْهُ ↓ نَاكِبٌ, (tropical:) A man deviating from the right course of action &c. (A.) b2: نَكْبَاءُ [fem. of أَنْكَبُ] an epithet applied to Any wind that blows obliquely, taking a direction between [the directions of] two [cardinal] winds: (TA:) a wind that blows obliquely, deviating from the direction whence blow the right (القُوَّم [or the cardinal]) winds: (S:) or a [particular] wind that blows obliquely, and takes a direction between [the directions of] two [cardinal] winds; (K;) which destroys the camels and sheep &c., and restrains the rain: (TA:) or a wind that blows in a direction between that of the east, or easterly, wind, (الصَّبَا,) and that of the north, or northerly, wind, (الشَّمَال): (Az, K:) that between the south, or southerly, and east, or easterly, winds, being called جِرْبِيَاءُ: (Az:) [but see this word, and see below:] or what are termed نُكْبُ الرِّيَاحِ [نُكْبٌ being pl. of نكباء] are four: (IAar, Th, S, K:) namely, first, the نكباءُ الصَّبَا وَالجَنُوبِ the wind that blows in a direction between that of the east, or easterly, and that of the south, or southerly, wind; also called الأَزْيَبُ; (S, K;) which is a very thirsty wind, that dries up much the leguminous plants; but Et-Tará- bulusee, in the Kf, and Mbr and IF, assert that the ازيب is the جنوب; not its نكباء: (TA:) second, the نكباءُ الصَّبَا وَالشَّمَالِ the wind that blows in a direction between that of the east, or easterly, and that of the north, or northerly, wind; also called الصَّابَيةُ, and called also ↓ النُّكَيْباَءُ, (S, K,) a diminutive meant to convey the opposite of a diminutive sense; for they find this wind to be very cold; (S;) it is very boisterous and very cold; unattended by rain or by any good: (TA:) third, the نكباءُ الشَّمَالِ وَالدَّبُورِ the wind that blows in a direction between that of the north, or northerly, and that of the west, or westerly, wind; also called الجِرْبِيَاءُ; and termed نَيِّحَةُ الأَزْيَبِ the opposite wind to the ازيب; (S, K;) a cold wind; (S;) and sometimes attended by a little rain; but Ibn-El-Ajdábee asserts that the جربياء is the شمال: (TA:) fourth, the نكباءُ الجَنُوبِ والدَّبُورِ the wind that blows in a direction between that of the south, or southerly, and that of the west, or westerly, wind; also called الهَيْفُ; (in the CK, الهَيَفُ;) and termed نَيِّحَةُ النُّكَيْباَءِ the opposite wind to the نكيباء; (S, K;) a hot wind (S) and very thirsty. (TA.) Accord. to Ibn-Kubás, the tract whence blows the نكباء [by which he means only the wind that blows from the north-east or thereabout] is that extending between the point where rises the ذِرَاع [or the asterism composed of the stars a and b of Gemini, E. 33 degrees N., in central Arabia; or a and b of Canis Minor, E. 7 degrees N., in the same latitude] and the pole-star: and the tract between the pole-star and the point where sets the ذراع is the tract whence blows the شمال.

Sh says, Each of the four [cardinal] winds has its نكباء, which is called in relation to it: that of the صبا is that which is between it and the شمال; [blowing from the north-east, or thereabout;] and it resembles it in gentleness; sometimes having sharpness, or vehemence; but this is seldom; only once in a long space of time: that of the شمال is that which is between it and the دبور; [blowing from the north-west, or thereabout;] and it resembles it in coldness: it is called الشمالُ الشَّامِيَّةُ: each of them is called by the Arabs شاميّة: that of the دبور is that which is between it and the جنوب; blowing from the point where sets سُهَيْل [or Canopus; i. e., S. 29 degrees W., in the latitude of central Arabia]; and it resembles it in its violence and boisterousness: and that of the جنوب is that which is between it and the صبا; [blowing from the south-east, or thereabout;] and it is the wind most resembling it in its softness and in its gentleness in winter. (L.) The pl. of نكباء is نُكْبٌ, as shown above. (S, K &c.) [See also تَبُّوعُ الشَّمْسِ, in art. تبع.] b3: دَبُورٌ نكب [app. ↓ نَكْبٌ, originally an inf. n., used as an epithet, and therefore applicable without ة to a fem noun] i. q. نَكْباَءُ; [app., The نكباء of the دبور, a southwesterly wind]. (TA.) b4: أَنْكَبُ A camel having a disease in the shoulder-joint, or in the shoulderblade, and in consequence halting: (S:) a camel that walks on one side, or inclining, or as though he walked on one side. (L.) b5: فَامَةٌ نَكْبَاءُ An inclining pulley: and قِيَمٌ نُكْبٌ inclining pulleys. (TA.) b6: أَنْكَبُ (assumed tropical:) Overpowering, or oppressive; unjust, or tyrannical. (S, TA.) b7: الدَّهْرُ أَنْكَبُ لَا يُلِبُّ (assumed tropical:) Fortune abounds with evil accidents, or disasters, or afflictions, or calamities; i. e. it deviates much, or often, from the right course: it will not remain in one state: or, accord. to one relation, الدهر انكث الخ. A proverb. (TA.) A2: أَنْكَبُ A man not having with him a bow. (S, K.) مَنْكِبٌ (masc., Lh, K) The shoulder; i. e. the place of junction of the os humeri and the scapula, (S, K.) in a man &c; (ISd:) the place of junction of the os humeri and the scapula and the [tendon called] حَبْلُ العَاتِقِ, in a man and a bird and any other thing. (TA.) [It seems to be regarded by some as originally signifying “ a place of deflection: ” but] Sb denies its being a noun of place, because, were it so, it would be مَنْكَبٌ: he does not allow it to be included in the class of مَطْلِعٌ, because this is extr. Pl. مَنَاكِبُ. رَجُلٌ شَدِيدُ المَنَاكِبِ, signifies A man having a strong shoulder: as though the sing. were applied to denote each part of the joint, and the pl. to denote the whole. (TA.) b2: هَزُّوا مَنَاكِبَهُمْ (tropical:) [They shook their shoulderjoints;] i. e., they rejoiced, or were joyful, or happy. (TA.) b3: خِياَرُكُمْ أَلَيْنُكُمْ مَنَاكِبَ فِى

(El-Kazweenee &c.) b6: مَنْكِبٌ (tropical:) The side of anything; or a lateral, or an adjacent, part, quarter, or tract, thereof: (K:) pl. مَنَاكِبُ: ex. سِرْنَا فِى منكبٍ مِنَ الأَرْضِ We proceeded, or journeyed, along a side, or lateral part, of the land: and, in like manner, مِنَ الجَبَلِ of the mountain: (TA:) so in the Kur, lxvii. 15, the pl. signifies the sides, &c., of the earth: (Fr:) or its roads, accord. to some: (TA:) or its mountains: (Zj:) which last signification in this case is preferred by Az: (TA:) or the sing. signifies an elevated place, or part, of the earth or land. (S.) b7: المَنَاكِبٌ (tropical:) The feathers next after the قَوَادِم; [which latter are the anterior, or primary, feathers of a bird's wing;] (K;) the feathers of the wing of a vulture or an eagle that are next after the قوادم, which are the strongest and most excellent of the feathers; (TA:) four [feathers] in the wing of a bird, next after the قوادم (S.) [the four secondary feathers of the wing:] in the wing of a bird are twenty leathers: the first of them are those called القوادم; the next, المناكب; the next, الخَوَا فِى: the next, الأَباهِرُ; the next, الكُلَى. (L.) It is a word without a sing. (K.) ISd says, I know not a sing. ?? it; but by analogy it should ?? ??. (TA.) b8: راَشَ

?? (tropical:) He feathered his arrow with feathers such as are described above. (TA.) A2: مَنْكِبٌ (tropical:) عَرِيفٌ i. q.

(TA.) مِنْكَابٌ عَنِ الحَقِّ [(assumed tropical:) One who deviates much from the right course of action &c.] (TA.) مَنْكُوبٌ and نَكِبٌ, accord. to the copies of the K, but the latter word is a mistake for ↓ نَكِيبٌ, Having the foot wounded, and made to bleed, by stones: or hit, or struck, or hurt, by stones. (K.) See 1. b2: مَنْكُوبٌ (assumed tropical:) Overcome or afflicted, by fortune: or smitten with an evil accident, or the like. (S, TA.) See نُكِبَ.

حَتِّ (indecl., with kesr for its termination, TA) A cry by which birds are chidden. (K.) حَتٌّ: see حُتَات. b2: Also Dead; [as though strewn upon the ground, in fragments;] applied to locusts (جَرَاد): pl. أَحْتَاتٌ; (K;) its only pl. (MF.)

(tropical:) fleet, or swift, when emaciated by journeying; the subst.

براية being said to be put for the inf. n. بَرْى: (A, * L:) some of the Basrees say that the poet means a camel; but As disapproves of this, because to that which he here describes he has before applied the epithet هِجَفّ: ISd says that in his opinion he likens his horse or his camel to a male ostrich, because of the epithet هجفّ, preceding, and because neither the horse nor the camel eats the colocynth, but this plant is cropped by ostriches; شرى meaning the colocynth: IJ says that شرى here signifies a tree of which bows are made; and the poet means that if the trees thus called are tall, they conceal him, and he is the more lonesome, or sad; and that if they were short, his eye would range freely, and he would be pleased, and would run gently. (L.) A2: See also حَتَّى, near the end of the paragraph.

حَتَتٌ A disease that affects trees, in consequence of which their leaves fall off. (TA.) حتّه [app. حِتَّةٌ, as pronounced in the present day; pl. حِتَتٌ; now applied to A bit of anything; properly, a paring, or scraping;] a piece of peel or bark or crust or the like. (TA.) حَتَاتٌ Cries, shouts, noises, or clamour; or a confusion, or mixture, of cries or shouts or noises, or of crying or shouting or noise. (K.) حُتَاتٌ What is rubbed and scraped off; or what becomes scattered, strewn, or dispersed; or what becomes so by degrees, part after part; of a thing. (S, TA.) A word of this class generally ends with ة; (TA;) [as قُلَامَةٌ and نُجَارَةٌ &c.; but ↓ حُتَاتَهٌ seems to be also used in the same sense: and hence the phrase,] مَافِى يَدِى مِنْهُ حُتَاتَهٌ, so in the A, but in the K ↓ حَتٌّ, (TA,) There is not aught of it in my hand. (A, K, TA.) b2: Also A disease that attacks the camel, so that he becomes emaciated, and his flesh and fat and colour change, and his hair falls off.

حَتَّى is a particle, used in three senses: (Mughnee:) it is a particle denoting the end of an extent; (Mughnee, K;) which is its predominant meaning; (Mughnee;) asserted by some to be always its meaning: (TA:) and denoting a cause, or motive: and syn. with إِلَّا as an exceptive; (Mughnee, K;) which last is the rarest, and is mentioned by few. (Mughnee.) b2: It is used as a preposition governing the gen. case, in the same manner as إِلَى (S, Mughnee) in respect of meaning and government, (Mughnee,) denoting the end of an extent; (S;) [signifying To, till, until, or to the time of;] but the word that it so governs must be a noun properly so called, not a pronoun except in a case of poetic license; and must signify the last part, or portion, of what is signified by that which precedes حتّى, as in the saying, أَكَلْتُ السَّمَكَةَ حَتَّى رَأْسِهَا [I ate the fish, even to its head]; or must be prefixed to the word signifying that part, or portion, as in the saying, [in the Kur xcvii. last verse,] سَلَامٌ هِىَ حَتَّى مَطْلَعِ الفَجْرِ [A night of peace, or of salutation, is it, until the time of the rising of the dawn]. (Mughnee.) It is also followed by a mansoob aor. , as in سِرْتُ حَتَّى أَدْخُلَهَا [I journeyed until I entered it, ادخلها here virtually meaning دَخَلْتُهَا], أَنْ being here understood after حتّى, and the ان together with the verb being rendered in grammatical analysis by an inf. n. governed in the gen. case by حتّى

[so that حتّى ان ادخلها means حتّى دُخُولِى إِيَّاهَا]: this is one of the cases in which حتّى differs from إِلَى; for one may not say, سِرْتُ إِلَى أَدْخُلَهَا [with أَنْ understood after الى]: and in the same sense it is used in the phrase, [in the Kur xx. 93,] حَتَّى

يَرْجِعَ إِلَيْنَا مُوسَى [Until Moses return to us]. (Mughnee.) b3: It is also syn. with كَىْ, denoting a cause or motive [of action &c., signifying To the end that, in order that, or so that], as in the saying, أَسْلِمْ حَتَّى تَدْخُلَ الجَنَّةَ [Become a Muslim, to the end that, or in order that, or so that, thou mayest enter Paradise]; being in this case, likewise, followed by a mansoob aor. (Mughnee.) b4: It is also used [as a preposition virtually governing the gen. case, أَنْ being understood after it,] in the sense of إِلَّا, meaning Except, or unless, likewise followed by a mansoob aor. , as in the following verse: لَيْسَ العَطَآءُ مِنَ الفُضُولِ سَمَاحَةً

حَتَّى تَجُودَ وَمَا لَدَيْكَ قَلِيلُ [The giving of superfluities is not liberality: (giving is not liberality) except, or unless, (or here we may also say until,) thou be bountiful when little is in thy possession]. (Mughnee.) b5: It is also a conjunction, like وَ, [signifying And, or rather even,] (S, Mughnee,) but on three conditions: first, that the word following it and conjoined by it be a noun properly so called, not a pronoun: secondly, that this noun signify a part, or portion, of what is signified by that which precedes حتّى, as in قَدِمَ الحُجَّاجُ حَتَّى

المُشَاةُ [The pilgrims arrived: even those on foot], and أَكَلْتُ السَّمَكَةَ حَتّى رَأْسَهَا [I ate the fish: even its head]: thirdly, that the noun following it and conjoined by it denote either the greatest or the least [literally or figuratively] of what are included in the signification of the noun that precedes حتّى, as in مَاتَ النَّاسُ حَتَّى الأَنْبِيَآءُ [Men have died: even the prophets], and زَارَكَ النَّاسُ حَتَّى

الحَجَّامُونَ [The people visited thee: even the cuppers]. (Mughnee.) b6: It is also used as an inceptive particle, (S, Mughnee,) preceding a nominal proposition, (Mughnee,) as in the following verse (of Jereer [so in a copy of the S]): فَمَا زَالَتِ القَتْلَى تَمُجَّ دِمَآءَهَا بِدِجْلَةَ حَتَّى مَآءُ دِجْلَةَ أَشْكَلُ [And the slain ceased not to emit their blood into the Tigris, so that the water of the Tigris was of a mixed colour consisting of red and white]: (S, Mughnee:) and preceding a verbal proposition, of which the verb is a pret., as in the phrase, [in the Kur vii. 93,] حَتَّى عَفَوْا وَقَالُوا [So that they became numerous, and said]: (Mughnee:) and preceding a marfooa aor. , as in the phrase, [in the Kur ii. 210,] حَتَّى يَقُولُ الرَّسُولُ [So that the Apostle said, or, as in the S, so that this was the case: the Apostle said], accord. to him who reads يَقُولُ; (IHsh, in De Sacy's “ Anthol. Gramm. Ar.,” p. 82 of the Arabic text;) others reading يَقُولَ, which, as well as يَقُولُ, here means قَالَ. (Jel.) b7: [Respecting the cases in which the mansoob aor. is used after حاّى, and those in which the marfooa aor. is used, the following observations are made.] When حتّى precedes a future, the latter is mansoob, by reason of أَنْ understood before it, as in the saying, سِرْتُ إِلى

الكُوفَةِ حَتَّى أَدْخُلَهَا [I journeyed to El-Koofeh until I entered it: see above]: (S:) it is not mansoob unless the verb is a future: if it is future with respect to the time of speaking, it must be mansoob, as in حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ إِلَيْنَا مُوسَى

[cited above]: if the verb is future with respect to what precedes, only, it may be mansoob, as in حَتَّى يَقُولَ الرَّسُولُ [mentioned above]; or it may be marfooa; but not unless [somehow] denoting a present time; (Mughnee;) and if present with respect to the time of speaking, it must be marfooa, as in the saying, سِرْتُ إِلَى الكُوفَةِ حَتَّى أَدْخُلُهَا [I have journeyed to El-Koofeh so that now I am entering it]; (S, Mughnee; *) but if not really present, it is not marfooa unless denoting a past event as though it were present, as in حَتَّى يَقُولُ الرَّسُولُ [explained above]; nor may it be marfooa unless denoting an effect of what precedes it; so that you may not say, سِرْتُ حَتَّى تَطْلُعُ الشَّمْسُ, nor مَا سِرْتُ حَتَّى أَدْخُلُهَا unless the ما is regarded as prefixed to the entire affirmative phrase that follows it, nor هَلْ سِرْتَ حَتَّى تَدْخُلُهَا; nor may it be marfooa unless it denote a complement to what precedes it, so that you may not say سيْرى

حَتَّى أَدْخُلُهَا, as the inchoative would in this case be without an enunciative. (Mughnee.) b8: [The following verse of El-Farezdak is cited in the Mughnee as an ex. of حتّى used as an inceptive particle: فَوَاعَجَبَا حَتَّى كُلَيْبٌ تَسُبُّنِى

كَأَنَّ أَبَاهَا نَهْشَلٌ وَمُجَاشِعُ and it is there added that يَسُبُّنِى النَّاسُ must be understood in this verse before حتّى: but I rather think that حتّى is here a conjunctive particle, and that the meaning is, And alas, my wonder! the people revile me: even Kuleyb revile me, as though their father were Nahshal and as though he were Mujáshi'.] b9: It should be observed that حتُّى may be used in three different ways in some sentences: thus you may say, using it as a preposition (in the sense of إِلَى), أَكَلْتُ السَّمَكَةَ حَتَّى

رَأْسِهَا [I ate the fish, even to its head]; and, using it as a conjunction, حَتَّى رَأْسَهَا [even its head]; and, using it as an inceptive particle, حَتَّى رَأْسُهَا [for حَتَّى رَأْسُهَا مَأْكُولٌ so that its head was eaten]. (Mughnee.) b10: It is said in the K that حتّى

renders makhfood and marfooa and mansoob; and that therefore Fr said, أَمُوتُ وَفِى نَفْسِى مِنْ حَتَّى شَىْءٌ [“ I shall die with something respecting حتّى (remaining unsettled) in my mind ”]: this is said on the supposition that حتّى deviates in government from an established rule, which is, that a particle which governs one part of speech governs that only; those, for instance, which render mansoob and mejzoom governing verbs only, and the particles that govern nouns governing none but nouns: but the truth is, that حتّى

governs only the gen. case; a marfooa noun or aor. after it would be so without it, as حتّى in this case is only an inceptive particle; and a mansoob aor. after it is rendered so by أَنْ understood, so that حتّى in this case virtually governs a noun in the gen. case [as has been shown above]: therefore the remark quoted above from the K is faulty, and confounds things that should be distinguished. (MF, TA.) b11: Some say that حتّى is [a noun] of the measure فَعْلَى, from ↓ الحَتُّ the ceasing from a thing, having finished it; or the becoming unoccupied by a thing; like شَتَّى from الشَّتُّ: but Az disapproves of this, because, were it so, the pronunciation termed إِمَالَة would be allowable in its case, and it is not so: حتّى, he says, is a particle, not a noun, nor a verb. (TA.) b12: حَتَّامَ is originally حَتَّى مَا [Till when? until when? or how long?]: the ا of ما is elided because the expression is used interrogatively, like as it is when any preposition is prefixed to it if used interrogatively, as in بِمَ and فِيمَ and عَمَّ. (S.) b13: In the dial. of Hudheyl, عَتَّى is said for حَتَّى. (L.) مَا تَرَكُوا إِلَّا رِمْدَةَ حَتَّانَ, or حَتَّانٍ, (as in different copies of the K in art. رمد,) They left not of them so much as thou mightest rub thy hands therewith and then blow it away in the wind after rubbing it off. (K ubi suprà.) حَتْحَتٌ: see حَتٌّ.

حَتْحَتَةٌ (tropical:) Quickness, (K, TA,) and haste, in anything. (TA.) [App. an inf. n., of which the verb is ↓ حَتْحَتَ.] Hence the prov., شَرُّ السَّيْرِ الحَتْحَتَهُ (tropical:) [The worst pace is that which is quick and hasty: but in Freytag's “ Ar. Prov. ” (i. 654,) الحَقْحَقَة]. (TA.) حَتْحَاتٌ i. q. حَثْحَاثٌ [Quick, or swift, &c.]. (K.) مِحْتَاتٌ: see حَتُوتٌ.
