K,)
inf. n. as above, (Ibn-'Abbád,) (

ـرَّعَ see 1; first and second sentences:
b2: and see also 4.
b3: تَذَـ
ـرُّعٌ also signifies The measuring a thing with the fore arm. (
S,
K.) [See also 1.] A poet says, (
S,) namely Keys Ibn-El-Khateem El-Ansáree, (
TA,) تَرَى قِصَدَ المُرَّانِ تُلْقَى كَأَنَّهَا تَذَـ
ـرُّعُ خِرْصَانٍ بِأَيْدِىالشَّوَاطِبِ [Thou seest the fragments of the hard and pliant spears thrown as though they were what is seen in the measuring, with the fore arm, of rods of palm-sticks in the hands of the females who pare them]: (
S,
TA:) or,
accord. to
As, تَذَـ
ـرَّعَ فُلَانٌ الجَرِيدَ signifies Such a one put the palm-sticks upon his fore arm, and pared them: and خِرْصَانٌ means, originally, rods of palm-sticks: and شَوَاطِبُ is
pl. of شَاطِبَةٌ; meaning a woman who peels the عَسِيب, and then throws it to the مُنَقِّيَة, who removes all that is upon it with her knife until she has left it slender, when she throws it back to the شاطبة. (

K.)
b5: تَذَـ
ـرَّعَــتِ المَرْأَةُ The woman split palm-leaves to make of them a mat. (
IDrd,

TA.)

ـرَّعَــتِ الإِبِلُ الكَـ
ـرَعَ The camels came to drink of the rain-water and waded in it with their arms. (

A2: تذ
رّع بِذَرِيعَةٍ (

ـرَعَ: see 4.
10 استذ
رع بِهِ He concealed, or protected, himself by it, (namely a thing,
TA,) and made it a ذَرِيعَة [
q. v.] for him. (Ibn-'Abbád,
K.) ذَـ
ـرْعٌ, in its primary acceptation, has the signification explained in the first sentence of this article. (
S,
TA.)
b2: [Hence, it is used in the sense of] (
tropical:) Power, or ability; as also ↓ ذِرَاعٌ; (
TA;) or a man's reach, or extent of power or ability. (
Msb.) And hence the phrases, ضَاقَ بِالأَمْرِ ذَـ
ـرْعُــهُ, and ↓ ذِرَاعُهُ, (
K,) and ضَاقَ بِالأَمْرِ ذَـ
ـرْعًــا, (
S,
Msb,
K,) in which the last word is in the
accus. case as an explicative, for the original form of the phrase is that first mentioned, (
TA,) and sometimes they said ↓ ذِرَاعًا, (
S,
TA,) (
tropical:) He was unable to do, or accomplish, the thing, or affair; as though meaning, he stretched forth his arm to it and it did not reach it; (
S,
TA; *) or these phrases are thus used because he who is short in the fore arm will not reach that which he who is long therein reaches, nor will the power of the former equal that of the latter; therefore they are proverbially applied to him whose power falls short of the attainment, or accomplishment, of an affair: (
TA:) or he lacked strength, or power, or ability, to do, or accomplish, the thing, or affair, and found not any way of escape from what was disagreeable therein: (
K:) or he was unable to bear, or endure, or undertake, the thing, or affair. (
Msb.) You say also, مَا لِى بِهِ ذَـ
ـرْعٌ, and ↓ ذِرَاعٌ, (
tropical:) I have not power, or ability, to do it. (
TA.) And كَسَرَ ذٰلِكَ مِنْ ذَـ
ـرْعِــى (
tropical:) That disabled, hindered, prevented, or withheld, me from doing that which I desired. (
TA.) And اِقْصِدْ بِذَـ
ـرْعِــكَ (
tropical:) Deal thou gently with thyself; moderate thyself restrain thyself;
i. q. اِرْبَعْ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ; (
S,
TA;) and let not thy soul, or mind, carry thee beyond thy measure or extent [of power or ability]. (
TA.) And أَبْطَرْتُ فُلَانًا ذَـ
ـرْعــهُ (
tropical:) I imposed upon such a one more than he was able to do: (
S,
TA:) but ذَـ
ـرْعٌ also signifies (assumed
tropical:) the body: and [
accord. to
IAar] أَبَطَرَنِى ذَـ
ـرْعِــى means (
tropical:) He wasted my body, and cut off my means of subsistence. (
TA.) [See also art. بطر.] You likewise say, رَجُلٌ
↓ رَحْبُ الذِّرَاعِ [and الذَّـ
ـرْعِ] (
tropical:) A man having ample strength, and power, and might in war or fight, courage, valour, or prowess. (
TA. [See also رَحْبٌ.]) And ضَعِيفُ الذَّـ
ـرْعِ (
tropical:) Impotent. (
KL.)
b3: And hence, فُلَانٌ خَالِى الذَّـ
ـرْعِ (
tropical:) Such a one has his heart devoid of anxieties, or solicitudes, and griefs; because the heart is sometimes one of the seats of power: or it may mean, agreeably with the original signification of ذَـ
ـرْعٌ, such a one is free from the causes of occupation which require the stretching forth of the fore arm and extending of the hand. (
Har p. 131.) and رَجُلٌ وَاسِعٌ الذَّـ
ـرْعِ, and ↓ الذِّرَاعِ, (
tropical:) A man large, or liberal, in disposition. (
K.) And كَبُرَ فِى ذَـ
ـرْعِــى (assumed
tropical:) Its occurrence, or befalling, was of great moment, momentous, grievous, or distressing, to me. (
TA.)
b4: ذَـ
ـرْعٌ also signifies The measure of anything: and نَخْلَةٌ ذَـ
ـرْعُ رَجَلٍ, A palm-tree of the measure of the stature of a man. (
TA.) ذَـ
ـرَعٌ A coveting; desiring eagerly; or lusting. (

inf. n. of which the verb is ذَـ
ـرِعَ.]
A2: See also ذَرِيعَةٌ.
ذَـ
ـرِعٌ: see ذَرِيعٌ, in two places.

ISd,
K) (assumed
tropical:) A woman (
S) light, or active, with the hands in spinning: (
S,
K:) or one who spins much; who has ability to do so. (

Msb,) [The part] from the elbow to the extremities of the fingers; (
Mgh,
Msb;) the fore arm;
syn. سَاعِدٌ [
q. v.; thus corresponding to the سَاق of the leg]: (
Lth,
K:) and (
tropical:) [the space] from the extremity of the elbow to the extremity of the middle finger: (
M,
Mgh, *
K: [in the last of which, the space is plainly shown to be meant, like as the part is shown in the
Msb to be meant in the explanation cited above from that work and the
Mgh: see also جَرِيبٌ:]) in both these senses, sometimes
masc., (
K,)
accord. to
Kh: (
TA:)
J says, (
TA,) as relating to the arm, it is
masc. and
fem.; but
Sb says that it is
fem.: (
S,
TA:) [
Mtr says,] it is
fem.: (
Mgh:) [
Fei says,] the measure so called is in most instances
fem.:
accord. to
ISk, it is
fem.; but some of the Arabs make it
masc.:
Fr says that it is
fem.; but that some of [the tribe named] 'Okl make it
masc.:
As did not know an instance of its being
masc.: and
Zj says that such an instance is
extr.; not choice: (
Msb:) the measure thus called, [i. e. the cubit,] (
Msb,) the ذِرَاعٌ مُكَسَّرَة [or cubit which is divided into fractions], (
Mgh,) is six قَبَضَات [or fists] (
Mgh,
Msb) of middling measure; (
Msb;) and this is called ذِرَاعُ العَمَامَّةِ [the cubit of the common people, or the common cubit], because it wants one قَبْضَة [or fist] of what is called ذِرَاعُ المَلِكِ [the cubit of the king], namely one of the Kisràs, (
Mgh,
Msb,) not the last of them, whose ذراع was seven قَبَضَات: (
Mgh:) [see also مِيلٌ: it is also an astronomical measure; and as such, it seems, from several instances in which it is mentioned by
Kzw and other writers, to be, probably, by rule, two degrees; nearly the half, or quarter, of the length assigned in different instances to the measure termed رُمْحٌ; but, like the latter, not precise nor uniform in every instance:] the
dim. is ↓ ذُرِيَّعَةٌ, with ة because it is
fem.; (
TA;) or ↓ ذُرَيْعٌ [or ↓ ذُرَيِّعٌ, without ة,
accord. to those who make it
masc.]: (
L voce حَرْبٌ:) the
pl. is أَذْـ
ـرُعٌ and ذُـ
ـرْعَــانٌ; (
O,
Msb,
K;) or,
accord. to
Sb, the former only; (
S,
Msb;) and
Sb adds, they have given it this form of
pl. because it is
fem.; meaning, that فِعَالٌ and فُعَالٌ and فَعِيلٌ, when
fem., have the
pl. of the measure أَفْعُلٌ. (
TA.) In the phrase الثَّوْبُ سَبْعٌ فِى ثَمَانِيَةٍ [The garment, or piece of cloth, is seven cubits by eight spans], they say سبع because أَذْـ
ـرُع is
fem., and ثمانية because أَشْبَار is
masc.; (
S; [and the like is said in the
Mgh;]) and because the length is measured by the ذراع, and the breadth by the شِبْر. (
S in art. ثمن.) ذِرَاعٌ is also used as an
epithet, applied to a
masc.
n.: thus they say, هٰذَا ثَوْبٌ ذِرَاعٌ [This is a garment, or piece of cloth, a cubit in length]. (
Kh.) You say also, هُوَ مِنِّى عَلَى حَبْلِ الذِّرَاعِ It is prepared, or made ready, on my part: (
S:) and هُوَ لَكَ عَلَى حَبْلِ الذِّرَاعِ I will pay it to thee in ready money: or it is prepared, or made ready, for thee: the حبل being a certain vein in the ذراع. (
TA.)
b2: [Hence several
tropical significations:] see ذَـ
ـرْعٌ, in six places: and see also ذَرَاعٌ.
b3: Hence also, (
Z,
TA,) (
tropical:) The instrument with which one measures the length of the ذراع [or cubit], (
S,
Z,
O,
Mgh,
K,) made of a piece of wood, (
Mgh,) or whether it be iron or a rod of wood. (
O,
K.)
b4: [Hence also,] (assumed
tropical:) A sleeve: as in the phrase ثَوْبٌ مُوَشَّى الذِّرَاعِ (assumed
tropical:) [a garment, or piece of cloth, variegated, or figured, in the sleeve]:
pl. ↓ مَذَا
رِعُ, a
pl. not agreeing with its
sing., like مَلَامِحُ and مَحَاسِنُ. (
TA.)
b5: Of the fore legs of bulls or cows, and of sheep or goats, [The arm; i. e.] the part above the كُرَاع: and of the fore legs of camels and horses and mules and asses, [likewise the arm; i. e.] the part above the وَظِيف: (
K:) [also the arm-bone of any of the animals here mentioned:]
accord. to
Lth, (
TA,) of any animal, [but this is by synecdoche, (assumed
tropical:) the fore leg;]
i. q. يَدٌ; (
Msb,
TA;) applying to the whole of whatever is called thus: (
TA:) [thus, again, corresponding to سَاقٌ; this latter term, in like manner, having a proper and a synecdochical acceptation. Hence the
prov.] لَا تُطْعِمِ العَبْدَ الكُرَاعَ فَيَطْمَعَ فِى الذِّرَاعِ [Feed not thou the slave with the shank, lest he covet the arm]. (
K.)
b6: [Hence,] الذِّرَاعُ, also called ذِرَاعُ الأَسَد (assumed
tropical:) Two bright stars, which are one of the Mansions of the Moon: (
S:) [there are two asterisms thus called; together, الذِّـ
ـرَعَــانِ: one of them is] الذِّرَاعُ المَبْسُوطَةُ, [also called ذِرَاعُ الأَسَدِ المَبْسُوطَةُ,] the two bright stars α and β] in the heads of Gemini: (
Kzw in his description of Gemini:) [the other is called الذِّرَاعُ المَقْبُوضَةُ, and] ذِرَاعُ الأَسَدِ المَقْبُوضَةُ, the two bright stars α and β] of Canis Minor: (
Kzw in his description of Canis Minor:) [hence it appears that the ancient Arabs, or many of them, extended the figure of Leo (as they did also that of Scorpio) far beyond the limits which we assign to it: the former ذراع
accord. to those who make النَّوْءُ to signify “ the auroral rising,”
but the latter
accord. to those who make it to signify “ the auroral setting,” is the Seventh Mansion of the Moon: the following descriptions in
Kzw's account of the Mansions of the Moon, and in the O and
K and
TA, are obscure and inaccurate:] الذِّرَاعُ is one of the Mansions of the Moon, (
O,
Kzw,
K,) and is called ذراع الاسد المقبوضة, (
O,
Kzw,) or ذراع الاسد المبسوطة: (
K:) the lion has a ذراع which is مبسوطة and a ذراع which is مقبوضة, (
O,
Kzw,
K,) and this is the one next to Syria, (
O,
K,) or on the left, (
Kzw,) and in it the moon has a mansion; the مبسوطة being next to El-Yemen, (
O,
K,) or on the right; (
Kzw;) [but this description of their relative positions should be reversed, as is shown by what precedes and by what follows;] each being two stars, between which is the measure of a سَوْط [or whip]; (O;) and the latter is higher in the sky, and more extended, than the other, (
O,
K,) wherefore it is called مبسوطة; (O;) and sometimes the moon deviates, and so has a mansion in it: (
O,
K:) [it is said in the
TA that الذراع is also a name of one of the asterisms (نُجُوم) of الجَوْزَآء; but this is the same that is called the مبسوطة:] it rises [at dawn] on the fourth of تَمُّوز [or July O.
S.], and sets [at dawn] on the fourth of كَانُون الآخِر [or January, O.
S.]: (
O,
Kzw: [and so in the
K, except that in this last, it is erroneously said to set in كَانُون الأَوَّل:]) so says
IKt: but Ibráheem El-Harbee says that it rises on the seventh of تمّوز, and sets on the sixth of كانون الآخر. (
O,
TA.) [See مَنَازِلُ القَمَرِ, in art. نزل; and see also نَوْءٌ, and نَكْبَآءُ.] The rhyming prosaist of the Arabs says, إِذَا طَلَعَتِ الذِّرَاعْ حَسَرَتِ الشَّمْسُ القِنَاعْ وَاسْتَعْلَتْ فِى الأُفُقِ الشُّعَاعْ وَ تَرَقْرَقَ السَّرَابُ فِى
كُلِّ قَاعْ [When the Dhiráa rises at dawn, the sun puts off the veil, and the rays ascend in the horizon, and the mirage flickers, or glistens, in every plain]. (
TA.) And the Arabs assert that when there is no rain [at any other season] in the year, the ذراع does not break its promise, though it be but a بَغْشَة [or weak shower of rain]: (
Kzw,
TA:) [or] its نَوْء is approved, and seldom does it break its promise. (
Kzw.)
b7: ذِرَاعٌ also signifies (assumed
tropical:) A certain mark made with a hot iron upon the arm (ذراع) of a camel: (
S,
K:) and is a mark of the Benoo-Thaalebeh in El-Yemen, and of some persons of the Benoo-
Málik-Ibn-Saad. (
K.)
b8: Also (
tropical:) The fore part of a spear or spear-shaft: (
K,
TA:) this is called (
S,
TA) also (
TA) ذِرَاعُ الَعَامِلِ. (
S,
TA.) ذَرُوعٌ: see what next follows.
ذَرِيعٌ Wide in step, (
