سر

1 سَرَّهُ, accord. to the TA, has two contr. significations: for it is there stated that “ one says سَرَرْتُهُ meaning كَتَمْتُهُ and سَرَرْتُهُ meaning أَعْلَنْتُهُ: ” and it is added that “ it will occur again soon: ” but it does not again occur in that work, nor have I found it in any other lexicon: I therefore think that it is a mistranscription, for أَسْرَرْتُهُ, first Pers\. of أَسَرَّهُ, q. v.]

A2: سَرَّهُ, (S, O, Msb, K, &c.,) aor. ـُ (MS,) inf. n. مَسَرَّةٌ (S, O, K) and سُرُورٌ [which latter, from the explanations of it which will be found below, seems to be generally, if not only, as an inf. n., that of سُرَّ,] and سُرٌّ [which is also syn. with سُرُورٌ in the senses assigned to the latter below] and سُرَّى and تَسِرَّةٌ [which last may be also an inf. n. of ↓ سرّرهُ expl. by Freytag as syn. with سَرَّهُ in the sense here following, but without an indication of any authority], (O, K,) He, or it, rejoiced him; gladdened him; or made him happy; syn. أَفْرَحَهُ: (Msb, K:) [or made him to experience a pleasure, or delight, and dilatation of the heart, of which there was no external sign: see سُرُورٌ, below.] And سُرَّ, [inf. n. سُرُورٌ, (see above,)] He rejoiced; was joyful, or glad; or was happy: (S, * A, * K:) [or he experienced a pleasure, or delight, and dilatation of the heart, of which there was no external sign; accord. to an explanation of سُرُورٌ:] you say, سُرَّ بِهِ and ↓ اِسْتَسَرَّ [He rejoiced, was joyful or glad, or was happy, by reason of him, or it]. (A.) b2: سَرَّهُ, (K,) aor. as above, (TA,) also signifies He saluted him with [the offering of what are termed] المَسَرَّة, i. e. the extremities of sweet-smelling plants. (K.) A3: Also سَرَّهُ, (S, M,) aor. as above, inf. n. سَرٌّ, (S,) or سِرٌّ, (so in a copy of the M,) He cut his (a child's) سِرَر, or سُرّ, i. e. navel-string. (S, M.) and سُرَّ He (a child) had his navel-string cut. (K.) b2: And سَرَّهُ, aor. as above, He pierced him, or thrust him, [with a spear or the like,] in his سُرَّة [or navel]: a poet says, وَإِنْ أَدْبَرُوا فَهُمُ مَنْ يُسَبْ نَسُرُّهُمُ إِنْ هُمُ أَقْبَلُوا [We pierce them in the navel if they advance; and if they retreat, they are those who are pierced in the podex; يُسَبْ being for يُسَبُّ]. (S.) A4: سَرَّ الزَّنْدَ, aor. as above, inf. n. سَرٌّ, He put a piece of wood, (M, K,) or a little piece of wood, (S,) in the interior of the زند [or piece of stick, or wood, for producing fire], (M,) or in its extremity, (S, K,) inserting it in its interior, (S,) in order that he might produce fire with it. (S, M, K.) One says, سُرَّ زَنْدَكَ فَإِنَّهُ أَسَرُّ Fill up the interior of thy زند, that it may produce fire, (AHn, M,) for it is [worn] hollow. (S, K.) A5: سَرَّ, [sec. Pers\. سَرِرْتَ,] aor. ـَ (IAar, Sgh, L, K,) inf. n. سَرَرٌ, remarked upon by MF as extr., [though it is agreeable with a general rule,] said of a man, (TA,) He had a complaint of the سُرَّة [or navel]. (IAar, Sgh, L, K.) b2: Also, aor. and inf. n. as in the next preceding case, said of a camel, He had the pain, or disorder, termed سَرَرٌ [q. v.]. (IAar, M.) 2 سَرَّّ see 1, second sentence.

A2: سَرَّرْتُهُ in the phrase سَرَّرْتُهُ سُرِّيَّةً I gave him, or caused him to take, a concubine slave, doubly trans., is [said to be] changed to سَرَّيْتُهُ for alleviation of the pronunciation. (Msb.) A3: سرّرهُ, inf. n. تَسْرِيرٌ, said of water, It reached his سُرَّة [or navel]. (K.) 3 سارّهُ, inf. n. مُسَارَّةٌ and سِرَارٌ, (S, M,) [He spoke, or discoursed, secretly to him or with him;] he acquainted him with a secret. (M.) You say, سارّهُ فِى أُذُنِهِ He spoke secretly to him in his ear. (S, * K, * TK.) And كَانَ يُحَدِّثُهُ كَأَخِى السِّرَارِ occurs in a trad., meaning He (Mohammad) used to talk to him ('Omar) in a low voice, like him who is telling a secret. (TA.) b2: بَيْعُ السِّرَارِ is The selling in which one says, “I will put forth my hand and thou shalt put forth thy hand, and if I produce my signet-ring before thee, it is a sale for such a price; and if thou produce thy signet-ring before me, for such a price: ” if they produce together, or do not both produce, they do thus again. (Mgh.) 4 اسرّهُ, (S, M, A, Mgh, Msb, K,) inf. n. إِسْرَارٌ; (Msb;) [and accord. to the TA سَرَّهُ; but see the first sentence of this art.;] He concealed it; suppressed it; kept it secret; (S, M, A, Mgh, Msb, K;) namely, a story, or the like: (A, Mgh, Msb:) and, contr., he manifested it; revealed it; published it; made it known. (S, M, Msb, K.) Both of these significations have been assigned to the verb in the phrase وَأَسَرُّوا النَّدَامَةَ, in the Kur [x. 55 and xxxiv. 32]: (S:) some say, that the meaning is They will manifest repentance: Th says, they will conceal it from their chiefs: the former [says ISd] is the more correct: (M:) the former meaning is also given on the authority of AO; but Sh says, I have not heard it on the authority of any other; and Az says that the lexicologists most strongly disapprove of the saying of AO; and it is said that the meaning is, they, the chiefs of the polytheists, will conceal repentance from the lower class of their people, whom they shall have caused to err; and in like manner say Zj and the [other] expositors. (TA.) In like manner also the two contr. significations are assigned to the verb in the saying of Imra-el- Keys, [in his Mo'allakah,] لَوْ يُسِرُّونَ مَقْتَلِى, which As used to quote with ش, thus, لَوْ يُشِرُّونَ مَقْتَلِى, meaning that they might publish, or make known, my slaughter. (S.) You say also, أَسَرَّ إِلَيْهِ حَدِيثًا He revealed unto him a story (S, K) secretly. (TA.) An ex. occurs in the Kur lxvi. 3. (TA.) And أَسْرَرْتُ إِلَيْهِ المَوَدَّةَ, and بِالمَوَدَّةِ, I showed, or manifested, to him love, or affection. (S.) It is said in the Kur [lx. 1], تُسِرُّونَ إِلَيْهِمْ بِالْمَوَدَّةِ, meaning, Ye reveal to them the news of the Prophet by reason of the love that is between you and them; the objective complement of the verb being suppressed: or المودّة may be an objective complement, the ب being a redundant corroborative, as in أَخَذَ الخِطَامَ and أَخَذَ بِهِ: (Msb:) and this interpretation is correct; for إِسْرَارٌ to a person necessarily implies revealing a secret to him and at the same time concealing it from another. (B.) b2: وَأَسَرُّوهُ بِضَاعَةً, in the Kur xii. 19, signifies And they concealed, or kept secret, his case, making him as an article of merchandise: (Jel:) or they conjectured in their minds that they should obtain, by selling him, merchandise. (TA.) [See also an ex. voce اِرْتَغَى, in art. رغو.] b3: اسرّ الفَاتِحَةَ, and بِالفَاتِحَةِ, He recited the Fátihah [or First Chapter of the Kur-án] secretly, or inaudibly: (Msb:) or the latter form of expression is a mistake. (Mgh.) b4: أَسْرَرْتُهُ also signifies نَسَبْتُهُ إِلَى السِّرِّ [which may mean either I attributed it to secrecy, or, like many phrases of this kind, by inversion, I attributed to him secrecy, or mystery]. (Msb.) 5 تسرّر and تسرّى, (M, K,) and ↓ استسرّ, (K,) He took to himself a concubine-slave. (M, * K, * TA.) And تَسَرَّرْتُ جَارِيَةً, and تَسَرَّيْتُهَا, (S,) and ↓ اِسْتَسَرَّيْتُهَا, (TA,) I took to myself a girl, or young woman, as a concubine-slave. (S, * TA.) تَسَرَّرْتُهَا is [said to be] thus changed to تَسَرَّيْتُهَا, (T, S, Msb,) for alleviation of the pronunciation, (Msb,) on account of the three ر s following one another, (T,) being like تَظَنَّنْتُ and تَظَنَّيْتُ. (T, * S.) Lth says that تسرّيت is a mistake; but Az says that it is correct. (TA.) ↓ اِسْتَسَرَّنِى

occurs in a trad. as signifying He took me to himself as a concubine-slave; but by rule one should say تَسَرَّرَنِى, or تَسَرَّانِى: as to ↓ استسرّنى, it [more properly] signifies “ He revealed to me his secret. ” (TA.) b2: تَسَرَّرَ فُلَانٌ بِنْتَ فُلَانٍ [as though signifying Such a one took to himself the daughter of such a one as a concubine-slave] is said when a man of low birth takes as his wife a woman or girl of high birth because of the abundance of his property and the littleness of hers. (M.) 6 تسارّوا They spoke, or discoursed, secretly together; acquainted one another with secrets. (S, K.) [See also 3.]

A2: تسارّإِلَى ذٰلِكَ (tropical:) He experienced pleasure, or delight, at that: as, for instance, at his scratching a part of his body, or pressing, or kneading, it; and at a thing disliked by another person. (A, TA.) [But I am in some doubt as to the correctness of this, and incline to think that it is a mistake for ↓ استسرّ.]10 استسرّ He, or it, became concealed; or he, or it, concealed himself or itself: (K:) it (a thing, or an affair,) became hidden or concealed or secret: (A, Msb:) it (the moon) became concealed (S, M, A, TA) by the light of the sun, (TA,) [i. e. by its proximity to the sun,] for one night, or for two nights. (AO, S.) A2: استسرّهُ He took extraordinary pains in concealing it, or keeping it secret. (TA.) b2: See also 5, in four places. b3: اِسْتَسَرَّنِى He revealed to me his secret. (TA.) A3: See also 1; and see 6, last sentence.

سَرٌّ A man who rejoices, or gladdens, another; or makes him happy; (S, K;) [and so ↓ سَارٌّ:] fem. سَرَّةٌ; with which ↓ سَارَّةٌ is syn. (Lh, M, K.) You say رَجُلٌ بَرٌّ سَرٌّ A man who treats with goodness and affection and gentleness, and rejoices &c., (S, K, TA,) his brethren: (TA:) pl. بَرُّونَ سَرُّونَ. (S, K.) سُرٌّ: see سُرُورٌ: A2: and سِرٌّ, last sentence but one.

A3: It is also a contraction of سُرُرٌ, pl. of سَرِيرٌ. (Sb, M.) A4: Also, and ↓ سِرَرٌ, (S, M, K,) and ↓ سَرَرٌ, (S, K, in the CK سُرَر,) The navel-string of a child; i. e. the thing that the midwife cuts off from the navel (سُرَّة) of a child; (S, K;) the thing that hangs from the navel (سُرَّة) of a newborn child, and that is cut off: or ↓ سِرَرٌ signifies the part that is cut off thereof, and that goes away: (M:) pl. (of سِرَرٌ, S, [or of سُرٌّ or سَرَرٌ,]) أَسِرَّةٌ, (Yaakoob, S, M, K,) which is extr. (M.) One says, عَرَفْتُ ذٰلِكَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُقْطَعَ سُرُّكَ [I knew that before thy navel-string was cut]: one should not say سُرَّتُكَ; for the سُرَّة is not cut. (S.) and وَاحِدِ ↓ وَلَدَتْ ثَلَاثَةً فِى سَرَرٍ She brought forth three [boys] consecutively, or one at the heels of another. (M.) [See also سِرٌّ, last sentence.]

سِرٌّ A secret; a thing that is concealed, or suppressed, (S, M, A, Mgh, Msb, K,) in the mind; (TA;) as also ↓ سَرِيرَةٌ: (S, M, A, K:) or the former has the above-mentioned signification, and the latter signifies a secret action, whether good or evil: (Lth:) [and the former, also, a mystery:] pl. of the former, أَسْرَارٌ; (S, M, A, Mgh, Msb, K;) and of the latter, سَرَائِرُ. (S, A, K.) It is said in a prov., مَا يَوْمُ حَلِيمَةَ بِسِرٍّ [The day of Haleemeh is not a secret]: applied to anything commonly known: alluding to Haleemeh the daughter of El-Hárith the son of Aboo-Shemir El-Ghassánee; for, when her father sent an army to El-Mundhir the son of Má-es-Semà, she took forth for the soldiers some perfume in a vessel (مِرْكَن), and perfumed them with it. (S.) [You say also, هُوَ مَوْضِعُ سِرِّى He is the depositary of my secret, or secrets.] The words of the Kur [lxxxvi. 9] ↓ يَوْمَ تُبْلَى السَّرَائِرُ signify In the day wherein the secret tenets and intentions shall be tried and revealed: (Jel:) or by السرائر is here meant fasting, and prayer, and alms-giving, and ablution on account of the pollution termed جَنَابَة. (TA.) [See also a verse cited in the third paragraph of art. عرض.] b2: A thing that is revealed, appears, or is made manifest: thus it has two contrary significations. (MF.) b3: السِّرُّ [for مَحَلُّ السِّرِّ, (assumed tropical:) The heart; the mind; the recesses of the mind; the secret thoughts; the soul;] is a syn. of الضَّمِيرُ. (K in art. ضمر. [See also سَرِيرَةٌ.]) [لَا تُتْعِبْ سِرَّكَ (assumed tropical:) Weary not thy heart, or mind, is a common modern phrase. And one says, of a deceased holy man, قَدَّسَ اللّٰهُ سِرَّهُ (assumed tropical:) May God sanctify his soul.] b4: سِرٌّ also signifies Secrecy; privacy; contr. of عَلَانِيَةٌ. (S in art. علن.)

سَرُورٌ: see what next follows.

سُرُورٌ, (S, M, A, Msb,) or ↓ سَرُورٌ, when used as a simple subst., (IAar, Sgh, K,) but this is strange, and, accord. to MF, unknown, whether as a simple subst. or as an inf. n., (TA,) and ↓ سُرٌّ (M, Msb) and ↓ سَرَّآءُ and ↓ تَسُرَّةٌ, (M,) Happiness, or joy, or gladness; syn. فَرَحٌ; (M, K; *) contr. of حُزْنٌ: (S:) or dilatation of the bosom with delight, or pleasure, wherein is quiet or tranquillity or rest of mind, of short or of long continuance; whereas فَرَحٌ is dilatation of the bosom with delight, or pleasure, of short continuance, transitory, or fleeting, not lasting, as is the case in bodily and worldly pleasures; but فَرَح is sometimes called سُرُور, and vice versâ: (Er-Rághib, TA in art. فرح:) or سُرُورٌ signifies pleasure, or delight, and dilatation of the heart, of which there is no external sign; distinguished from حُبُورٌ, which is cheerfulness, i. e., pleasure, or delight, or dilatation of the heart, which has a visible effect in the aspect. (TA.) A2: Also sing. of ↓ سُرُرٌ, (TA,) which signifies The upper extremities of the stems of plants. (K, TA.) See also مَسَرَّةٌ.

(Sb, M.) It is said to be derived from سُرُورٌ, because it generally belongs to persons of ease and affluence and of authority, and to kings. (MF.) b2: Hence, and as an appellation of good omen, (Er-Rághib,) A bier, before the corpse is carried upon it: (K:) when the corpse is carried upon it, it is called [نِعْشٌ and] جَِنَازَةٌ.

غرض

1 غَرِضَ, aor. ـَ (S, K,) inf. n. غَرَضٌ, (S, A, K,) He was vexed, or disquieted by grief, and by distress of mind; he was grieved, and distressed in mind: he was disgusted; he turned away with disgust. (S, A, K.) You say, غَرِضَ مِنْهُ He was vexed by, or at, him, or it, and disquieted by grief, and by distress of mind; he was grieved, and distressed in mind, by him, or it: (Mgh in art. غرض, and TA:) he was disgusted with it, or at it; he turned away from it with disgust: (Mgh:) and he feared him, or it. (Ibn-'Abbád, K, TK: but the first and second mention only the inf. n. of the verb in this last sense.) And غَرِضَ بِالمُقَامِ, aor. and inf. n. as above, [He was vexed, &c., by continuance, stay, residence, or abode, in a place: he was disgusted with it, or at it.] (S.) And إِذَا فَاتَهُ الغَرَضُ فَتَّهُ الغَرَضُ i. e. الضَّجَرُ [When the object of aim, or endeavour, escapes him, so that he cannot attain it, vexation, or disquietude by grief, and by distress of mind, or disgust, crushes him]. (A, TA.) b2: And hence, (A,) aor. as above, (K,) and so the inf. n., (A, TA,) He yearned, or longed: (S, A, K:) or he yearned, or longed, vehemently, or intensely: (TA:) إِلَيْهِ for him, or it: (S:) or إِلَى لِقَائِهِ for meeting with him: the verb in this sense being made trans. by means of الى because it imports the meaning of اِشْتَاقَ and حَنَّ [which are made trans. by the same means]: (A, TA:) [for] accord. to Akh, غَرِضْتُ إِلَيْهِ signifies غَرِضْتُ مِنْ هٰؤُلآءِ إِلَيْهِ [I turned with vexation, or disgust, from these, to him, or it]; because the Arabs connect the verb [with its objective complement] by means of all these particles [mentioned above; namely, ب and من and الى]. (S.) Mbr reckons غَرَضٌ, as meaning both “ being disgusted ” and “ yearning ” or “ longing,” among words having contrary significations; and so does Ibn-Es-Seed; (MF;) and in like manner, IKtt. (TA.) [Perhaps these derive the latter meaning from غَرَضٌ signifying “ a butt,” or “ an object of aim,” &c.]

A2: غَرَضَ عَنْهُ, (TA,) [in the TK غَرَضَهُ,] inf. n. غَرْضٌ, (Ibn-'Abbád, K,) He (a man, TA) refrained, forbore, abstained, or desisted, from him, or it; left, relinquished, or forsook, him, or it. (Ibn-'Abbád, * K, * TA.) A3: غَرُضَ, aor. ـُ inf. n. غِرَضٌ, It (a thing) was fresh, juicy, moist, not flaccid. (S, K.) A4: غَرَضَ الشَّىْءَ, aor. ـِ (K,) inf. n. غَرْضٌ; (TA;) and ↓ غرّضهُ, (K,) inf. n. تَغْرِيضٌ; (TA;) He plucked the thing while it was fresh, juicy, moist, or not flaccid: or he took it (أَخَذَهُ, in some copies of the K جَذَّهُ, which is a mistake, TA) while it was so. (K.) b2: (assumed tropical:) He did the thing hastily, or hurriedly, before its time; syn. أَعْجَلَهُ عَنْ وَقْتِهِ. (Ibn-'Abbád, O, TS, K. *) b3: غَرَضَ السَّخْلَ, (S, K,) aor. and inf. n. as above; (TA;) and ↓ غرّضها; (K;) (assumed tropical:) He weaned the lambs, or kids, before their time. (ISk, S, K.) b4: غَرَضَتْ سِقَآءَهَا, (S, K,) aor. and inf. n. as above, (S,) (assumed tropical:) She (a woman, S) churned, or agitated, the contents of her milk-skin, and when its butter had formed in little clots but had not collected together, she poured out the milk, and gave it to people to drink. (ISk, S, K. *) b5: غَرَضْتُ لَهُ غَرِيضًا (tropical:) I gave him to drink fresh milk. (TA.) b6: غَرَضْتُ لِلضَّيْفِ غَرِيضًا (tropical:) I fed the guests with food that had not been kept through the night: so in the A: but in the K, لَهُمْ ↓ أَغْرَضَ غَرِيضًا (tropical:) he kneaded for them fresh dough, and did not feed them with food that had been kept through the night. (TA.) A5: غَرَضَهُ, aor. ـِ [inf. n. غَرْضٌ,] also signifies He filled it, namely, a vessel, (S, K,) and a skin, and a wateringtrough; (TA;) and so ↓ اغرضهُ. (K.) b2: and He stopped short of filling it completely. (S, K. [See also 2.]) Thus it has two contr. significations. (S, K.) A rájiz says, لَقَدْ فَدَى أَعْنَاقَهُنَّ المَحْضُ وَالدَّأْظُ حَتَّى مَا لَهُنَّ غَرْضُ (S, TA,) i. e. Verily the محض and the دأظ [the pure milk and the fatness and fulness so that there is no deficiency in their skins] have ransomed them from being slaughtered and sold. (TA.) [But see غَرْضٌ below.] b3: Also, aor. ـِ inf. n. غَرْضٌ, He broke it (i. e. a thing) without separating it. (TA.) A6: غَرَضَ البَعِيرَ, (S,) or النَّاقَةَ, (K,) [aor. ـِ as appears from the word مَغْرِضٌ, for otherwise, by rule, it would be مَغْرَضٌ,] inf. n. غَرْضٌ, (K,) He bound the غَرْض upon the camel; (S;) as also ↓ اغْتِرضهُ; (TA;) or he bound the she-camel with the غُرْضَة, (K,) or غَرْض; (TA;) as also ↓ أَغْرَضَهَا; (K;) and in like manner, غَرَضَ البَغِيرَ بِالغَرْضِ. (TA.) 2 غرّض, inf. n. تَغْرِيضٌ, He ate fresh flesh-meat. (K.) b2: See also غَرَضَ, in two places.

A2: One says also, غَرِّضْ فِى سِقَائَكَ Fill not thy skin [completely; leave a portion unfilled in thy skin]. (S.) b2: And فُلَانٌ بَحْرٌ لَا يُغَرَّضُ i. e. [Such a one is a sea] that will not become exhausted. (S, A, TA.) A3: And غرّض signifies also تَفَكَّهَ, (K, TA.) [meaning He affected jesting, or joking, for it is] said in the I. to be from الفُكَاهَةُ signifying المُزَاحُ. (TA.) 3 غارض إِبِلَهُ (tropical:) He brought his camels to the watering-place early in the morning; in the first part of the day. (A, O, K.) 4 اغرضهُ He made him to be vexed, or disquieted by grief, and by distress of mind; to be grieved, and distressed in mind: he made him to be disgusted; to turn away with disgust. (S.) A2: See also 1, latter half, in two places.

A3: اغرض النَّاقَةَ: see 1, last sentence.

A4: اغرض He (a man) hit, or attained, the غَرَض [i. e. the butt, or object of aim, &c.]. (IKtt.) 5 تغرّض, (K, TA,) thus in the O, on the authority of Ibn-'Abbád; but accord. to the Tekmileh, ↓ انغرض; (TA;) said of a branch, It broke without breaking in pieces: (K, TA:) or, accord. to the L, the latter signifies It bent and broke without becoming separated. (TA.) 7 إِنْغَرَضَ see what next precedes.8 اِغْتَرَضَ: (so in a copy of the A: [and if this be correct, the primary signification seems to be It (a thing) was plucked, or taken, while it was fresh, juicy, moist, or not flaccid: quasi-pass. of غَرَضَ in the first of the senses assigned to it as a trans. v. above:]) or اُغْتَرِضَ: (so in the JK and TA: [and if this be correct, it is app. formed by transposition from اُغْتُضِرَ:]) (tropical:) He died in his fresh state; (JK;) [i. e.] he died a youth, or a young man: [the latter reading seems to be the right, for it is said to be] similar to اُحْتُضِرَ [evidently a mistranscription for اُخْتُضِرَ]. (A, TA.) A2: اغترض الشَّىْءَ He made the thing his غَرَض [i. e. butt, or object of aim, &c.]. (TA.) A3: اغترض البَعِيرَ: see 1, last sentence.

غَرْضٌ and ↓ غُرْضَةٌ The appertenance of a camel's saddle of the kind called رَحْل which is like the حِزَام of the سَرْج (S, K) and the بِطَان of the قَتَب; (S;) i. e. girth, or fore girth, (تَصْدِير,) thereof; (S;) the حِزَام of the رَحْل: (A:) pl. of the former, أَغْرَاضٌ [a pl. of pauc.] (S, K) and أَغْرُضٌ [also a pl. of pauc.] (IB) and غُرُوضٌ [a pl. of mult.]: and of the latter, ↓ غُرْضٌ, [or rather this is a coll. gen. n.,] (S, K,) like as بُسْرٌ is of بُسْرَةٌ, (S,) and غُرُضٌ. (S, K.) [Hence the saying of Mohammad,] غُرْض shall not be bound [upon camels by pilgrims] except to three mosques; the sacred mosque [of Mekkeh], and my mosque [of ElMedeeneh], and the mosque [El-Aksà] of Beytel-Makdis [or Jerusalem]. (TA.) A2: غَرْضٌ also signifies (accord. to some, in the verse cited in the first paragraph, S, TA) The place of what thou hast left (مَوْضِعُ مَا تَرَكْتَهُ, not ماء [i. e. not مَآءٍ] as written in the S [and K], TA,) and not put into it anything: (S, K, TA:) and is said by some to be like the أَمْت [q. v.] in a skin. (TA.) b2: And A state of folding. (AHeyth, K.) And A man's having folds (غُرُوض) in the body when he has been fat and then has become lean. (Sgh, K.) And you say, طَوَيْتُ الثَّوْبَ عَلَى غُرُوضِهِ i. e. غُرُورِهِ [I folded the garment, or piece of cloth, according to its first, or original, foldings.] (Ibn-'Abbád, Z, Sgh, K.) عُرْضٌ: see the next preceding paragraph.

غَرَضٌ A butt, a mark, or an object of aim, at which one shoots, or throws; (S, O, Msb, K;) a thing that thou settest up (مَا أَمْثَلْتَهُ) to shoot or throw at: (IDrd:) pl. أَغْرَاضٌ. (Msb, K.) It is said in a trad., لَا تَتَّخِذُوا شَيْئًا فِيهِ الرَّوحُ غَرَضًا [Ye shall not take a thing in which is the vital principle as a butt]. (TA.) And hence one says, النَّاسُ أَغْرَاضُ المَنِيَّةِ (assumed tropical:) [Mea are the butts of destiny, or of death]: and جَعَلْتَنِى غَرَضًا لِشَتْمِكَ (assumed tropical:) [Thou madest me, or hast made me, a butt for thy reviling]. (TA.) b2: And hence, (tropical:) An object of aim or endeavour or pursuit, of desire or wish, or of intention or purpose: (Msb:) a scope; or any end which one endeavours, or seeks, or intends, or purposes, to attain: (B:) an object of want, and of desire: (TA:) the advantage, or good, which one seeks, or endeavours, or purposes, to attain, or obtain, from a thing: so much used in this tropical sense as to be, in this sense, conventionally regarded as proper. (MF.) You say, غَرَضُهُ كَذَا (tropical:) His object of aim or endeavour or pursuit, &c., is such a thing: (Msb:) or his object of want, and of desire, is such a thing (TA.) And فَعَلَ لِغَرَضٍ صَحِيحٍ (tropical:) He did, or acted, for a just, or right, object of aim &c. (Msb.) And فَهِمْتُ غَرَضَكَ (assumed tropical:) I understood, or have understood, thine object of aim &c., or thine intention; syn. قَصْدَكَ. (S.)

(S, O, K. *) b2: And غَرَفَ نَاصِيَتَهُ He clipped his forelock; (S, O, K;) i. e. a horse's. (S, O.) A3: غَرَفَ الجِلْدَ, (S, O, TA,) inf. n. غَرْفٌ, (TA,) He tanned the skin with غَرْف [q. v.].

(S, O, K.) 5 تَغَرَّفَنِى He took everything that was with me: (K, TA:) so in the Tekmileh. (TA.) 7 انغرف It (a thing) became cut, or cut off. (S, O, K.) b2: And It bent, or became bent: (Yaakoob, TA:) and some say, it broke, or became broken: (TA:) [and ↓ غَرَفَ, inf. n. غَرْفٌ, app. has both of these meanings; for] الغَرْفُ, accord. to IAar, signifies The bending, or becoming bent; and the breaking, or becoming broken. (TA.) انغرف said of a bone means It broke, or became broken: and said of a branch, or stick, or the like, it became broken, but not thoroughly. (TA.) b3: And He died. (TA.) 8 إِغْتَرَفَ see 1, first sentence. غَرْفٌ and ↓ غَرَفٌ, (S, K,) the latter mentioned by Yaakoob, (S,) A species of trees, (شَجَرٌ,) with which one tans; (S, K;) when dry, [said to be] what are termed ثُمَام: (TA: [but perhaps this statement applies particularly to غَرَفٌ, which see below: and see also ثُمَامٌ:]) accord. to A'Obeyd, called غَرْفٌ and غَلْفٌ [q. v.]: AHn says, the غرف is a species of trees from which bows are made; [see عِضَاهٌ;] and no one tans with it; but Kz says that its leaves may be used for tanning therewith, though bows be made of its branches: and Aboo-Mohammad mentions, on the authority of As, that one tans with the leaves of the ↓ غَرَف, and not with its branches: El-Báhilee says that غَرْفٌ signifies certain skins, not such as are termed قَرَظِيَّة, [i. e. not tanned with قَرَظ, but] tanned, in Hejer, in the following manner: one takes for them sprigs (هَدَب) of the أَرْطَى, and puts them in a mortar, and pounds them, then throws upon them dates, whereupon there comes forth from them an altered odour, after which a certain quantity is laded out for each skin, which is then tanned therewith; and the term غَرْف is applied to that which is laded out, and to every quantity of skin from that mash, to one and to all alike: but Az says, the غَرْف with which skins are tanned is well known, of the trees of the desert (البَادِيَة), and, he says, I have seen it; and what I hold is this, that the skins termed غَرْفِيَّة are thus termed in relation to the species of trees called the غَرْف, not to what is laded out: As says that الغَرْفُ, with the ر quiescent, signifies certain skins that are brought from El-Bahreyn. (TA.) غَرَفٌ, (O, K, TA,) accord. to AA, (O,) or IAar, (T, TA,) i. q. ثُمَامٌ [Panic grass]; (O, K, TA;) not used for tanning therewith; and accord. to Az, this that IAar says is correct: AHn says that when it becomes dry, and one chews it, its odour is likened to that of camphor: (TA:) or ثُمَام while green: (K:) or one of the species of ثُمَام, which resembles rushes (أَسَل,) of which brooms are made, and with which water-bags of leather are covered to protect them from the sun so that the water becomes cool: (A 'Obeyd, TA:) the n. un. is with ة. (AHn, O.) And, (O, K,) accord. to Skr, (O,) The شَثّ, and طُبَّاق, and نَشَم [thus (correctly) in the O, but in the K بَشَم], and عَفَار [in the CK غَفار], and عُتْم, and صَوْم, and حَبَج, and شَدْن, and حَيَّهَل [or حَيَّهْل], and هَيْشَر, and ضُرْم [thus in the O and in some copies of the K] or ضِرْم [thus in other copies of the K]: every one of these is called غَرَف.

(K, * TA.) غُرْفَةٌ The quantity of water that is taken [or laded out] with the hand [as with a ladle]; (JK, S, * Mgh, * O, Msb, * K;) as much thereof as fills the hand; (JK;) and ↓ غُرَافَةٌ signifies the same: (O, K:) before it is so taken it is not termed غُرْفَة: (S, K:) the pl. is غِرَافٌ. (S, Msb, K.) b2: and [hence, app.,] Somewhat remaining, of milk. (IAar, TA in art. جزع.) A2: Also i. q. عُِلِّيَّةٌ; (S, O, Msb, K;) i. e. [An upper chamber; or] a chamber in the upper, or uppermost, story: (Har p. 325:) pl. غُرَفٌ and غُرَفَاتٌ (S, O, Msb, K) which latter is held by some to be a pl. pl.

(Bd in xxv. 75.) Accord. to the S [and O], the phrase دُونَ غُرْفَةِ عَرْشِهِ occurs in a verse of Lebeed, as applying to the Seventh Heaven: but what is [found] in his poetry is دُونَ عِزَّةِ عَرْشِهِ. (IB, TA.)

(O, K.) b2: And A rope, or cord, tied with a bow, or double bow, (مَعْقُودٌ بِأُنْشُوطَةٍ, O, K,) which is put upon the head, (O,) or hung upon the neck, (K,) of a camel: (O, K:) of the dial. of El-Yemen.

[Her husband had become altered for the worse, or stinking, having died, in a well which he had descended]: from the saying in the Kur مِنْ حَمَأ

مَسْنُونٍ: [see مَسْنُونٌ:] but some say that he [who used this phrase] meant [to say, or meant thereby,] أَسِنَ, i. e. his head became affected with vertigo by reason of a foul odour that he smelt, and he swooned.

(M, L, K.) 3 سانّ النَّاقَةَ, inf. n. مُسَانَّةٌ and سِنَانٌ, (S, M, L, K,) He (the stallion-camel) bit the she-camel with the fore part of the mouth: (L:) or he opposed himself to her, (M, L,) or drove her, (S, L,) or bit her with the fore part of the mouth, and drove her, (K,) to make her lie down, (S, M, L, K,) in order that he might cover her: (S, M, * L, K:) or he covered her without her desiring it, or before she desired it, by force. (IB, L.) 4 اسنّ, (S, M, L, Msb, K,) inf. n. إِسْنَانٌ, (Mgh, L, Msb,) said of a man, (S, M, L, Msb, K,) and of other than man, (Msb,) i. q. كَبِرَ [meaning He became advanced in age, or fullgrown], (S, L, Msb,) or كَبِرَتْ سِنُّهُ [which means the same]; (M, L, K;) as also ↓ استسنّ: (K:) but Az says that الإِسْنَانُ in the case of an animal of the ox-kind and of the sheep or goat, is not the same as in that of a man: for in such animals it means [the attaining to the age of] the coming forth of the [permanent] ثَنِيَّة [or central incisor]: (Msb:) or in such animals it means at least [the attaining to the age of] the shedding of the [tooth called] ثنيّة [which is generally said to be in the third year]; and at the utmost in such animals, [the attaining to the age of] what is termed الصُّلُوغ or السُّلُوغ [which is in the sixth year]; and at the utmost in camels, [the attaining to the age of] what is termed البُزُول [which is generally in the ninth year]. (Mgh, L.) [It is also expl. in the K as meaning His tooth grew forth: but the right explanation is one given in the Mgh and L; i. e. his tooth whereby he became مَسِنّ grew forth.] لَمْ يُسْنَنْ, occurring in a trad. of Ibn-'Omar, as some relate it, is a mistake for لَمْ يُسْنِنْ. (Mgh, L.) And البَدَنَةُ ↓ سُنَّتِ, a phrase mentioned by KT, as meaning The teeth of the بدنة grew forth, is also a mistake [for أَسَنَّت]. (L.) b2: You say also, اسنّ سَدِيسُ النَّاقَةِ The [tooth called] سديس of the she-camel grew forth, i. e. in the eighth year. (S, L.) A2: Also, said of God, He made a tooth to grow forth. (S, L, K.) اللّٰهُ ↓ سَنَّهَا, [referring to the teeth of a بَدَنَة,] a phrase mentioned by KT, is a mistake [for أَسَنَّهَا].

(K.) R. Q. 1 سَنْسَنَتِ الرِّيحُ The wind blew coldly, or coolly; as also نَسْنَسَت: so in the Nawádir. (L.) سِنٌّ i. q. ضِرْسٌ [as meaning A tooth; in which sense this latter word is often used; though it is frequently restricted to a molar tooth, or to any of the teeth except the central incisors]: (M, L, K:) [or, accord. to some, a single tooth; i. e. one that is not of the double, or molar, kind; as shown by a description in what follows:] of the fem. gender: (S, M, L, Msb:) pl. أَسْنَانٌ (S, M, L, Msb, K) and أَسِنَّةٌ and أَسُنٌّ, (M, L, K,) the last of these mentioned by Lh, and this and the second anomalous; (M, L;) or the second is allowable as pl. of the first of these pls.; (S;) or it is pl. of the سِنَان of the spear; but may also be pl. of أَسْنَانٌ as pl. of سِنٌّ applied to herbage upon which camels pasture, in an instance to be cited in what follows: (A'Obeyd, T, L:) the vulgar say إِسْنَان and أُسْنَان, which are wrong: (Msb:) the أَسْنَان of a human being consist of four ثَنَايَا, and four رَبَاعِيَات, and four أَنْيَاب, and four نَوَاجِذ, and sixteen أَضْرَاس: or, as some say, four ثنايا, and four رباعيات, and four انياب, and four نواجذ, and four ضَوَاحِك, and twelve أَرْحَآء: (Msb:) or the أَسْنَان and أَضْرَاس together make up the number of thirty-two; the ثنابا are four, two above and two below [in the middle]; next are the رباعيات, which are four, two above and two below; next are the انياب, which are four [likewise, two above and two below]; and next are the اضراس, which are twenty, on each side five above and five below; and of these [last] the four that are next to the انياب are the ضواحك; next to each ناب, above and below, is a ضَاحِك; next to the ضواحك are the طَوَاحِن, also called the أَرْحَآء, which are twelve, on each side [above and below] three; and next to these are the نواجذ, which are the last of the teeth in growth, and the last of the اضراس, on each side of the mouth one above and one below: (Zj in his “ Khalk el-Insán: ”) the dim. of سِنٌّ is ↓ سُنَيْنَةٌ, because it is fem. (S.) One says, لَا آتِيكَ سِنَّ الحِسْلِ, (S, M, L,) i. e. I will not come to thee as long as remains the tooth of the young one of the [kind of lizard called]

ضَبّ; (M, L;) meaning, ever; (S, M, * L;) because the حسل never sheds a tooth: (S, L:) or, as Lh relates it, on the authority of ElMufaddal, سِنَّىْ حِسْلٍ; [using the dual form of سِنٌّ;] and [it may be rendered, accord. to the former reading, (assumed tropical:) during the life of the young one of the ضّب, for] he says, they assert that the ضبّ lives three hundred years, and that it is the longest-lived creeping thing upon the earth. (M, L.) A poet (Aboo-Jarwal El-Jushamee, whose name was Hind, L) says, describing camels taken as a bloodwit, فَجَآءَتْ كَسِنِّ الظَّبْىِ لَمْ أَرَ مِثْلَهَا بَوَآءَ قَتِيلٍ أَوْ حَلُوبَةَ جَائِعِ [And they came; (assumed tropical:) like the age of the gazelle was the age of every one of them: I have not seen the like of them for an equivalent of a slain person, or a milch camel of one hungry: (I have given a reading of this verse that I have found in the M and TA in art. ظبى, instead of that in the present art. in the S and L, in which سنآءَ and سَنَآءَ are put in the place of بَوَآءَ app. for سِنَآءَ, an inf. n. of سَانَاهُ, and as such here meaning a soothing, or the like:)] he means that they were ثُنْيَان, [pl. of ثَنِىٌّ], because the ثَنِىّ is one shedding [or that has shed] his ثَنِيَّة, and the gazelle has no ثَنِيَّة [in the upper jaw], so that he is always [one that may be termed] a ثَنِىّ. (S, L.) It is said in a trad., إِذَا سَافَرْتُمْ فِى الخِصْبِ فَأَعْطُوا الرُّكُبَ

أَسِنَّتَهَا, [expl. as] meaning When ye journey in the land abounding with herbage, enable ye the ridden beasts to take of the pasturage: (S, L:) but Az states that A'Obeyd says, I know not أَسِنَّة except as pl. of the سِنَان of the spear; and if the trad. be [correctly] preserved in memory, it seems to be pl. of أَسْنَان; for سِنٌّ [sometimes] signifies the [portion of] herbage upon which camels pasture; and its pl. is أَسْنَانٌ; one says, أَسْنَانٌ مِنَ المَرْعَى; and the pl. of أَسْنَانٌ is أَسِنَّةٌ: Aboo-Sa'eed says that this last is pl. of سِنَانٌ, not of أَسْنَانٌ, and ↓ سِنَانٌ is applied to the [plants, or trees, called] حَمْض, as meaning (assumed tropical:) a strengthener [i. e. a sharpener of the appetite] of the camels for the [plants, or trees, called] خُلَّة: [see a phrase in the earlier part of the first paragraph:] in like manner, also, [he says,] when they light upon what is termed سِنٌّ مِنَ المَرْعَى [a portion of pasturage], this is termed عَلَى السَّيْرِ ↓ سِنَانٌ [a strengthener, or sharpener, for journeying]: this explanation is approved by Az, and likewise that of A'Obeyd: it is also related, on the authority of Fr, that السِّنُّ signifies the eating vehemently: [a signification mentioned in the K as well as in the L:] and Az says, I have heard more than one of the Arabs say, أَصَابَتِ الإِبِلُ اليَوْمَ سِنًّا مِنَ المَرْعَى

[The camels have obtained to-day a good portion of pasturage] when they have eaten well of the best of the pasturage: Z says that ↓ أَعْطُوا الرُّكُبَ أَسِنَّتَهَا means (assumed tropical:) Give ye to the ridden beasts what will prevent their being slaughtered; for when their owner pastures them well, they become fat, and goodly in his eye, and therefore he withholds himself, with niggardliness, from slaughtering them, and this [condition of them] is likened to أَسِنَّة [as meaning “ spear-heads ”] pl. of سِنَانٌ: [see also أَخَذَتْ رِمَاحَهَا, said of camels, voce رُمْحٌ:] or if the pl. of سِنٌّ be intended by it, the meaning is, enable ye them [i. e. the ridden beasts] to take of the pasturage; and hence the trad., أَعْطُوا السِّنَّ حَظَّهَا مِنَ السِّنِّ, i. e. Give ye the possessors of the سِنّ [meaning tooth] their share of the سِنّ which is the pasture. (L.) السِّنُّ is also used for ذَوَاتُ السِّنِّ [The possessors of the tooth] as meaning the slave and horses and the like and other animals, [collectively, in like manner as خُفٌّ and حَافِرٌ are used,] in a trad. of 'Omar. (L.) And it is said in a trad. of Ibn-Dhee-Yezen, لَأُوطِئَنَّ أَسْنَانَ العَرَبِ كَعْبَهُ, for ذَوِى أَسْنَانِ العَرَبِ, meaning [I will assuredly make] the great men and the nobles [of the Arabs to tread upon his ankle]. (L.) [But اسنان in this instance may be pl. of سِنٌّ in the sense here next following; so that ذوى اسنان may be rendered the advanced in age.]) b2: Hence, (L,) (tropical:) Life; (S, M, L, Msb;) metaphorically used in this sense as indicative of its length and its shortness; (L;) [for the teeth vary with the length of life;] the measure, (K,) or extent, of life; (Msb, K;) [the age attained;] used in relation to human beings and others: (M, L, K:) of the fem. gender in this sense also, (M, L, Msb,) because meaning مُدَّةٌ: (Msb:) pl. أَسْنَانٌ, (M, L, K,) only. (M, L.) You say رَجُلٌ حَدِيثُ السِّنِّ, meaning (assumed tropical:) A young man. (S, Msb, K, all in art. حدث.) And جَاوَزْتُ أَسْنَانَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِى (assumed tropical:) [I have exceeded] the lives of the people of my house. (L.) And صَدَقَنِى سِنَّ بَكْرِهِ [and سِنُّ بَكْرِهِ, expl. in art. بكر]. (L.) b3: And (assumed tropical:) A like, an equal, or a match, in age, of another; (M, L, K;) like تِنٌّ; (M, L;) as also ↓ سَنِينٌ, (M, L, K,) and ↓ سِنِينٌ, (L,) or ↓ سَنينَةٌ: (M, K:) in this sense also fem.; and [therefore] the dim. is ↓ سُنَيْنَةٌ; (L;) one says, اِبْنِى سُنَيْنَةُ ابْنِكَ [My son is the equal in age of thy son]: (El-Kanánee, L:) and the pl. is أَسُنٌّ and أَسْنَانٌ. (L.) b4: Also (assumed tropical:) A tooth of a مِنْجَل [or reaping-hook]: (M, L, K: *) pl. أَسْنَانٌ, signifying its أُشُر. (L and K in art. اشر.) b5: [And (assumed tropical:) A tooth of a comb.] The Arabs say كَأَسْنَانِ المُشْطِ meaning (assumed tropical:) [Like the teeth of the comb] in equality, in respect of any state, or condition: but if they mean equality in respect of evil, they say سَوَاسِيَةٌ كَأَسْنَانِ الحِمَارِ [Equals like the teeth of the ass]; سواسية being an anomalous pl. of سَوَآءٌ. (Har p. 39.) b6: and (assumed tropical:) The nib, i. e. the place of paring, of a writingreed: (S, L, K:) [and each lateral half of that part; for] the writing-reed has a right سِنّ and a left سِنّ: (TA in art. حرف:) [and ↓ سِنَّةٌ occurs in the K voce جِلْفَةٌ as meaning the point of a writing-reed.] One says, أَطِلْ سِنَّ قَلَمِكَ وَسَمِّنْهَا وَحَرِّفْ قِطَّتَكَ وَأَيْمِنْهَا [Make long the nib, or pared portion, of thy writing-reed, and make it thick (lit. fat), and make thy mode of cutting the extremity of the nib oblique, and make it to incline towards the right]. (S, L. *) b7: A tooth [or pin] of a key [app. of the kind of wooden lock called ضَبَّة, q. v.]. (MA.) b8: See also سِنْسِنٌ. b9: Also, (M, K, and A and K in art. فص,) or ↓ سِنَّةٌ, (S, JM,) A clove, (فَصٌّ, S and A as syn. with سِنٌّ in art. فص, and JM in explanation of سِنَّةٌ in the present art., or فَصَّةٌ, S and L in explanation of سِنَّةٌ,) or a حَبَّة [app. here meaning small distinct portion] of the head [app. here meaning bulb], (M and L and K in explanation of سِنٌّ,) of garlic. (S, M, A, L, K, JM.) A2: [Accord. to some,] one says, وَقَعَ فُلَانٌ فِى سِنِّ رَأْسِهِ, meaning Such a one fell into [what equalled] the number of his hairs, of good, (M, * L, K, *) and of evil: (L:) or, as some say, into what he willed, or wished, and had authority to decide: (L, K:) but this is a mistranscription: (Meyd:) the correct saying is فِى سِىِّ رَأْسِهِ, (Az, Meyd, L,) and سَوَآءِ رَأْسِهِ, meaning he fell into a state of enjoyment, or welfare; (Meyd;) the former sometimes expl. as meaning, [he lighted upon, or came upon, what equalled] the number of the hairs of his head, of wealth, or good: (A'Obeyd, Meyd:) or what equalled [the hairs of] his head, of abundance of herbage, or of the goods, conveniences, or comforts, of life: (Az, L, and Meyd * on the authority of IAar:) the saying is a prov.
