Yousay likewise تفنّن فِى الكَلَامِ [He practised, or took to, various modes, or manners, in speech; he diversified therein]. (TA in art. طرق, conj. 3.

(IAar, T, K.) فَنٌّ A sort, or species, syn. ضَرْبٌ, (T, M, K,) or نَوْعٌ, (S, Msb,) of a thing; (Msb;) as also ↓ أُفْنُونٌ [in this sense and in the senses here following; in the CK, erroneously, اَفْنُون]: (M, K:) and a state, or condition; syn. حَالٌ: (M, K:) [and a way: (see what follows:)] and a mode, or manner: (MA:) pl. [of mult.] فُنُونٌ (T, S, M, Msb, K) and [of pauc.] أَفْنَانٌ. (T, M, K.) One says, رَعَيْنَا فُنُونَ النَّبَاتِ [We pastured our cattle upon the various sorts of herbage]: and أَصَبْنَا فُنُونَ الأَمْوَالِ [We obtained the various sorts of possessions]: and a poet says, قَدْ لَبِسْتُ الدَّهْرَ مِنْ أَفْنَانِهِ كُلُّ فَنٍّ نَاعِمٍ مِنْهُ حَبِرْ [I have enjoyed of the various sorts of fortune, every pleasant, soft, sort thereof]. (T.) [↓ أُفْنوُنٌ has for its pl. أَفَانِيْنُ, which may also be regarded as pl. of أَفْنَانٌ pl. of فَنٌّ like as it is said to be a pl. pl. of فَنَنٌ: and] أَفَانِينُ [alone], (S,) or أَفَانِينُ كَلَامٍ, (TA,) signifies kinds [or sorts], and ways, or modes, or manners, [i. e. diversities, or varieties,] of speech; (S, TA, * PS;) like أَسَالِيبُ [pl. of أُسْلُوبٌ].

(T.) فُنَّةٌ Much, or abundance, of herbage. (IAar, K.) فَنَنٌ A branch of a tree: (S, M, Msb, K:) or such as is of just proportion in length or in breadth: (T:) said to be syn. with غُصْنٌ; but this latter signifies “ such as has been cut off ” i. q. قَضِيبٌ meaning مَقْضُوبٌ: (M:) pl. أَفْنَانٌ; (T, S, M, Msb, K;) said by Sb to be its only pl.; (M;) occurring in the Kur lv. 48; where some explain it as pl. of فَنٌّ, and meaning “ sorts,” or “ species ”; others, as pl. of فَنَنٌ: (T, Bd:) and أَفَانِينُ is a pl. pl., (T, S, K,) i. e. pl. of أَفْنَانٌ. (T, S.) b2: And as a branch shelters like as does darkness, a poet uses it metaphorically, saying, أَغَاثَ شَرِيدَهُمْ فَنَنُ الظَّلَامِ (tropical:) [The shelter of the darkness aided him, or them, who fled]. (M.) b3: And [in like manner also] the pl. pl. is used in a trad. describing the inmates of Paradise, as meaning (tropical:) Locks of hair; these being likened to branches: and El-Marrár says, أَعَلَاقَةً أُمَّ الوَلِيدِ بَعْدَمَا

أَفْنَانُ رَأْسِكَ كَالثَّغَامِ المُخْلِسِ (tropical:) [Dost thou feel attachment of love to Umm-ElWeleed after that the locks of thy head have become like the hoary thaghám?]; meaning the locks of the hair of his head when he had become hoary. (T. [See ثَغَامٌ.]) فَنِينٌ A humour in the armpit [of a camel], with pain. (M, K.) b2: And A camel having the tumour thus called; as also ↓ مَفْنُونٌ. (M, K.) شَجَرَةٌ فَنَّآءُ and فَنْوَآءُ, which latter is anomalous, A tree having branches; (S;) the latter thus expl. by AA; but by rule it should be فَنَّآءُ: (A'Obeyd, T:) or the latter, which is anomalous, signifies having long branches: (M:) or both signify having many branches. (K.) b2: And [hence] اِمْرَأَةٌ فَنْوَآءُ (assumed tropical:) A woman having much hair: but in this case, as in the former, the epithet, by rule, should be فَنَّآءُ. (M.) [See also فَيْنَانٌ.]

فَنَّانٌ A wild ass that has various sorts, or modes, of running: (S, K:) used in this sense in the poetry of El-Aashà. (S.) [See also مِفَنٌّ.]

شَعَرٌ فَيْنَانٌ (assumed tropical:) Hair having locks [lit. branches (أَفْنَان)] (M, * K) like the أَفْنَان of trees; [the latter word properly signifying having many branches, (see Ham p. 622,) of the measure فَيْعَالٌ, not فَعْلَان;] therefore it is perfectly decl.: so says Sb: (M:) or it signifies long and beautiful hair; the latter word being of the measure فَيْعَالٌ from الفَنَنُ, and the ى augmentative. (T.) b2: and one says also, agreeably with analogy, رَجُلٌ فَيْنَانٌ, (M,) and اِمْرَأَةٌ فَيْنَانَةٌ, (M, K,) meaning [A man, and a woman,] having much hair; (K;) for فَيْنَان is perfectly decl., derived from أَفْنَانُ الشَّجَرِ: IAar has mentioned اِمْرَأَةٌ فَيْنَى meaning [a woman] having much hair; and if the phrase be thus, فَيْنَان must be imperfectly decl.; but [ISd says] I regard this as a mistake of IAar. (M.) [See also art. فين.]

أُفْنُونٌ: see فَنٌّ, in two places.

A2: Also A tangled, or luxuriant, or dense, branch. (T, K.) b2: And Obscure, indistinct, or confused, speech, (T, K,) of a foolish, stupid, or dull, person. (T.) b3: And A mixed, or confused, run, of a horse and of a she-camel. (T, K.) A3: Also A serpent. (T, M, K.) b2: And An old woman: so some say: (M:) or an old woman advanced in age: (T, K:) or one who is flaccid, or flabby: (K:) Yaakoob has explained it as having the first of these three meanings; but IB regards this as improbable, because a verse of Ibn-Ahmar which is cited as an ex. thereof is preceded by what shows that it is applied to his beloved. (TA.) [It is said in the M to be also the proper name of a certain woman; and as such it may be used by Ibn-Ahmar.] b3: And i. q. دَاهِيَةٌ [A calamity, or misfortune, &c.]: (M, K:) so some say. (M.) A4: And The first part of youth, or youthfulness; and of clouds. (M, K.) مِفَنٌّ A man who has various sorts, or modes, [i. e. diversities, or varieties,] of speech; (T, TA;) and so ↓ مُتَفَنِّنٌ: (S:) or a man who utters, or performs, wonderful things: (S, K, TA:) fem. with ة.

(M, K.) b3: Also, with ة, A she-camel that seems to one to have been ten months pregnant, ثُمَّ تَنْكَشِفُ مَنَ الكِشَافِ [app. meaning then suffers, or exposes, herself to be compressed; from الكِشَافُ as inf. n. of كَشَفَت said of a she-camel: compare تنكشف as here used with تَكْتَشِفُ said of a woman]. (K.) مَفْنُونٌ: see فَنِينٌ.

[See 10 in art. دف.]) b4: [The signification “ Celeriter obortæ fuerunt manaruntque lacrymæ,” assigned by Golius to the first of these verbs, as on the authority of the KL, is a mistake: it is taken from an explanation of ذَرْفٌ, which, in my copy of the KL, immediately follows the explanations of دَفٌّ and دِفَافٌ.]2 ذَفَّّ see 1, in two places. b2: You say also, ذَفِّفْ جَهَازَ رَاحِلَتِكَ Lighten thou the travellingapparatus of thy riding-camel.

↓ إِلَىَّ وَعَادِسَا ↓ أَخَا اللَّيْلِ مَعْدُوسًا or عَلَىَّ, as some relate it, (O, [and thus, instead of إِلَىَّ, in one of my copies of the S,]) meaning [I constrain them (referring to camels mentioned in a preceding verse) to bear the terror of the darkness, and I cease not to be, as a nightfarer,] journeyed to by night [and journeying]. (S, O.) [It is added in the S, as though to indicate another meaning, وَعَدَسَ لُغَةٌ فِى حَدَسَ; and in the O and K, وَالعَدْسُ الحَدْسُ; (in the O with أَيْضًا between these two inf. ns.;) but accord. to the TA, the meaning intended by this is, The going away into, or in, the country, or land: see, however, what here follows.] b2: العَدْسُ also signifies The treading hard, or vehemently, (شِدَّةُ الوَطْءِ, S, O, K, TA,) upon the ground; and so الحَدْسُ.

A2: It is now applied also to Bats' dung; which is used in medicine, administered internally; and also applied externally, mixed with vinegar, to tumours: so says Forskål in his Descr. Animalium, p. iii.: but he there states عدسيه to be an appel-lation of the bat itself.]
