غَارَةٌ سَنْحَآءُ [app. as meaning An incursion into the territory of an enemy taking by surprise], accord. to one reading of a trad., is from سَنَحَ الرَّأْىُ [expl. above]: but the reading commonly known is سَحَّآء [q. v.]. (IAth, TA.) سَنِيحٌ: see سَانِحٌ.

(O.) سَنَحْنَحٌ A man who sleeps not during night: (K:) or سَنَحْنَحُ اللَّيْلِ a man who is vigilant; who sleeps not; who journeys during the night. (O.) سَانِحٌ (S, A, Msb, K, &c.) and ↓ سَنِيحٌ (S, A, K) both signify the same, (S, A, K,) applied to a gazelle, (S, K, *) or to a bird, (S, A, Msb,) &c., (S, Msb,) Turning its right side towards the spectator; thus expl. by Ru-beh to Yoo, in the presence of AO; i. e. passing from the direction of the left hand of the spectator towards the direction of his right hand: (S:) or coming from the direction of the right side of the spectator (Aboo-'Amr Esh-Sheybánee, IF, A, L, Msb) towards the direction of his left hand; turning towards him its left side, which is that termed الإِنْسِىُّ: contr. of بَارِحٌ [q. v.]: (Aboo-'Amr Esh-Sheybánee, L:) the pl. [of the former] is سَوَانِحُ and سَانِحَاتٌ and [of either] سُنُحٌ: and this last is also employed to signify auspicious and inauspicious gazelles [&c.], accord. to the different opinions of the Arabs. (L.) The Arabs [who apply the epithet in the latter of the two senses first explained] regard the سَانِح as a good omen, and the بَارِح as an evil omen; (Aboo-'Amr Esh-Sheybánee, S, L;) because one cannot shoot at the latter without turning himself: (S in art. برح:) but some of them hold the reverse of this: (Aboo-'Amr Esh-Sheybánee, L:) the people of Nejd hold the سانح to be a good omen; but sometimes a Nejdee adopts the [contr.] opinion of the Hijázee. (IB, TA,) It is said in a prov., مَنْ لِى بِالسَّانِحِ بَعْدَ البَارِحِ [expl. in art. برح]. (S, K.) b2: [It is said in Har p. 671 that السَّانِحُ also signifies المتطيّر المتفاّل, as though meaning The person auguring, or who augurs, evil or good, from birds: but I think that the right reading is المُتَطَيَّرُ بِهِ وَالمُتَفَأَّلُ بِهِ مِنَ الطُّيُورِ, i. e. what is regarded as an evil omen and as a good omen, of birds.]

(Msb.) b2: مِفْتَاحُهَا الطُّهُورُ, said by the Prophet, in relation to prayer, means (tropical:) That which is as though it were the key thereof is the thing [or water] with which one purifies himself; being the means of removing the legal impurity that prevents one's addressing himself boldly to the act of prayer. (Msb.) b3: And أُوِتِيتُ مَفَاتِيحَ الكَلِمِ, or مَفَاتِحَ الكَلِمِ, accord. to different relaters, occurring in a trad., i. e. I have been given the keys of words, means [I have been given] an easy faculty, granted by God, for the acquirement of eloquence and chasteness of speech, and the attaining to the understanding of obscure meanings, and novel and admirable kinds of knowledge, and the beauties of expressions and phrases, which are closed against others, and difficult to be learnt by them. (L.) b4: And المِفْتَاحُ signifies also (assumed tropical:) A certain brand upon the thigh and neck (K, TA) of a camel, in the form of what is [properly] thus called. (TA.) مَفْتُوحٌ An opened, or unclosed, [and an unlocked,] door.

(TA in art. ختم.) يَوْمٌ مُنْفَتِحٌ بَالمَآءِ (tropical:) A day [of clouds] bursting, or opening vehemently, with rain.
