أَــخْنَثُ مِنْ دَلَالِ [More effeminate, or more incapable of venery, than Delál]: a prov. (S, TA.) Delál was a certain man of El-Medeeneh, (TA,) who was made a eunuch, together with several other مُــخَنَّثُــون. (TA in art. دل. [See Freytag's Arab.

(TA in art. ارب.) The مُــخَنَّث is also called ↓ خُنَاثَةُ and ↓ خُنَيْثَةُ [each imperfectly decl.]. (K, TA.) مُــخَنِّثٌ: see what next precedes.

(TA in that art.) [Golius explains ثَخَنٌ as meaning “ crassities, spissitudo; ” on the anthority of Ibn-Maaroof and Ibn-Beytár; but I suspect that he found ثَخَنٌ in their works written for ثُخْنٌ or ثِخَنٌ, both inf. ns. of ثَخُنَ.]
