[See also فَقْعٌ below.]) [And] فَقَعَ said of a skin, or hide, or a tanned, or red, skin or hide, (أَدِيم,) It was beautiful and clear [in colour]. (Ham p. 562.) A2: فَقَعَ said of a boy, He became active, and grew, grew up, or became a young man; (K, * TA; [in both of which it is implied that the aor. of the verb in this and the next two senses is فَقَعَ and فَقُعَ, as above;]) and so ↓ تفقّع. (TA.) A3: And فَقَعَ (K, TA) said of a man, (TA,) He died from, or in consequence of, the heat. (K, TA.) A4: فَقَعَتِ الفَوَاقِعُ فُلَانًا The calamities of time, or fortune, crushed such a one. (K, * TA.) A5: فَقَعَ, aor. ـَ (K,) inf. n. فَقْعٌ, (O,) He stole. (O, K. [Accord. to the TK, trans. in this sense.]) A6: And He emitted wind from the anus, with a sound; (K, TA;) in which sense the inf. n. is likewise فَقْعٌ; accord. to some, peculiarly said of an ass: and بِهِ ↓ فَقَّعَ, and ↓ بِمِفْقَعٍ, and ↓ بِمِفْقَاعٍ, inf. n. تَفْقِيعٌ, he did so vehemently. (TA.) A7: فَقِعَ, i. e. like فَرِحَ, (K, TA,) inf. n. فَقَعٌ, (TK,) said of a man, (TA,) He became red.

أَصَابِعَهُ, (S, O, * TA,) inf. n. as above, (S, O, K, TA,) i. q. فَرْقَعَهَا, (S, O, * K, * TA, *) [He cracked the joints of his fingers;] i. e. he pressed his fingers so that a sound was heard to proceed from their joints: (TA:) the action signified thereby is forbidden to be performed in prayer: (O, TA:) [but it is said that] this is the contracting of the fingers to the inner side of the hand and making a sound with the outer side [app. by pressing the fist upon the ground so as to make the joints of the fingers crack, when rising; for I think that any action more irregular than this would be too obviously wrong to need prohibition]. (O.) b3: And فقّع الوَرْدَةَ, inf. n. تَفْقِيعٌ, He made the rose into a round form (أَدَارَهَا), and then struck it so that it rent open, or asunder, producing a sound: (O:) or التَّفْقِيعُ signifies the striking a rose with the hand, (O, K,) or the making a rose-leaf into a round [and app. hollow] form, and pressing it with the fingers, (TA,) so that it produces a sound, (O, K, TA,) when rending open, or asunder.

(O, K, TA.) 5 تَفَقَّعَ see 1. b2: [Reiske, as stated by Freytag, has explained this verb as signifying It was, or became, contracted; said of a hand: but probably, I think, in consequence of his having found تَفَقَّعَت erroneously written for تَقَفَّعَت.]6 تفاقعت عَيْنَاهُ His eyes became white: (O, K, TA:) or became cleft, or fissured: or had in them foul, or foul white, matter. (TA.) 7 انفقع It became cleft, or fissured, or rent open or asunder. (O, K.) فَقْعٌ [an inf. n., of فَقَعَ, q. v. Used as a subst.,] Intense whiteness. (TA.)

(AHn, TA.) A vile man is likened thereto: (S, O, K: *) one says, هُوَ أَذَلُّ مِنْ فَقْعِ قَرْقَرٍ, (S,) or مِنْ فَقْعٍ بقَرْقَرَةٍ, (O, K,) [He is more vile than the فقع of, or than فقع In, a (??) and soft tract of ground,] because the beasts kick it along, (S,) or because it offers not resistance to the gatherer thereof, or because it is trodden with the feet, (O, K,) and the beasts kick it along. (O.) b2: [From a mention of the pl. فَقُوعٌ in art. ذأن, and in the present art. in the TA, it appears that فَقْعٌ is also applied to The species of fungus called ذُؤْنُون, and to the species called طُرْثُوث, &c.] b3: And [hence, perhaps,] فَقْعٌ [as a coll. a.] signifies also (assumed tropical:) Pointed toes (خَرَاطِيم of a sort of boots (O, TA.) فِقْعٌ: see the next preceding paragraph.

فَقَاعٍ; see what next follows.

فُقَاعٍ; (O, and thus in my MS, copy of the K; in other copies of the K فُقَاع or فُقَاعٌ; and in all the copies is added بالضَّمِّ كَرُبَاع or كَرُبَاعٍ; [but there is no such word as رُبَاعٍ. nor رُباعٌ; whence it seems to be meant that we should read كَرُبَاعَ; i. e. فُقَاعُ, like رُباعُ, imperfectly decl.; but see what follows;]) so says Ibn-Buzurj: (O:) or, (O, K,) accord. to Az, (O,) ↓ فقاعٍ, (O, K, *) like رُبَاعٍ, (O.) [i. e.] with fet-h, like ثَمَانٍ (كَثَمَانٍ): (K:) [which suggests that كَرُبَاعٍ may be an early mistranscription for كَربَاعٍ, and that فُقَاع is wrong, and only فَقَاعٍ right, though it is said in one place in the TA that فَقَاع is like سَحَاب, i. e. that it is فَقَاعٌ:] or it is ↓ فَقِيعٌ, like أَمِيرٌ; (K, TA;) so accord. to El-Jáhidh, as mentioned by Az: (TA:) applied to a man, as meaning Red; (O, K, TA;) intensely so; by reason of إِغْرَاب [i. e. app., goodliness of condition]: (O, TA:) and ↓ فُقَاعِيٌّ, as an epithet applied to a man, signifies red. (TA.) فَقِيعٌ, (so in the O,) or ↓ فِقِّيعٌ, like سِكِّيتٌ, (K,) but the former, like أَمِيرٌ, is the right, [a coll. gen. n.,] and its n. un. is with ة, (TA,) The white, of pigeons; (K, TA;) said by El-Jáhidh to be such, of pigeons, as are like the صِقْلَابِىّ [or Sclave] of men; (O, TA;) a kind of white pigeon; so called as being likened to a [white] species of truffle [i. e. the فَقْع]. (TA.) b2: أَبْيَضُ فَقِيعٌ, (so in the O,) or ↓ ابيض فِقِّيعٌ, like سِكِّيتٌ, (K,) White that is intense (O, K) in whiteness. (O.) [See also فَاقِعٌ.] b3: فَقِيعٌ as an epithet applied to a man: see فُقَاعٍ.

فَقَّاعٌ One who emits wind from the anus, with a sound, much, or frequently. (TA.) b2: And Strong, or vehement; and bad, corrupt, or wicked. (Lth, O, K.) فُقَّاعٌ. 1 certain beverage, (S, O, L, K,) [a sort of beer.] made from barley: (L, TA:) [but there are several sorts thereof, perhaps peculiar to postclassical times: (see De Sacy's Chrest. Arabe, see, ed., vol. i., pp. 149-154:)] so called because of the froth that rises upon its head. (O, K. [See فُقَّاعَةٌ.]) b2: And A certain plant, (AHn, O, K.) such as is termed ↓ مُتَفَقِّعٌ, i. e., (AHn, O, K. *) which, when it dries up, becomes hard, and as though it were horns. (AHn, O, K.) [Now applied in North-Western Africa to The toadstool, which is called in other parts فُطْرٌ.]

فُقَّاعَةٌ, like رُمَّانَةٌ, sing. of فَقَاقِيعُ, (TA,) which signifies The bubbles that rise upon water, (S, O, K, TA,) and upon wine, (O,) [&c.,] round, [or globular.] (TA,) like قَوَارِير [or vessels of glass]. (S, O, TA.) فُقَّاعِىٌّ A seller of [the beverage called] فُقَّاع. (TA.) فَاقِعٌ (S, O, K) and ↓ فُقَاعِىٌّ (K) Yellow intensely yellow; (S, O, K;) thus both signify: (Lh, K, TA:) or red intensely red: (K:) or red free from an admixture of whiteness: or purely red: (TA:) or فَاقِعٌ is applied to white and to any other colour as signifying free from admixture; (K;) and ↓ فُقَاعِىٌّ is applied in this sense to white: (TA:) and ↓ أَفْقَعُ, of which the pl. is فُقْعٌ, signifies intensely white. (K.) فَاقِعَةٌ A calamity, or misfortune: (S, O, K:) pl. فَوَاقِعُ. (S, O, K. *) أَفْقَعُ; pl. فُقْعٌ: see فَاقِعٌ.

فَقْرٌ مُفْقِعٌ, accord. to the K, signifies مُدْقِعٌ [as though meaning Poverty causing to cleave to the dust or earth]: but the right phrase is فَقِيرٌ مُفْقِعٌ, signifying مُدْقِعٌ [i. e. a poor person cleaving to the dust or earth: for أَدْقَعَ is intrans. as well as trans.]; which denotes the worst condition, like مَجْهُودٌ.

(K.) A3: Also, i. e. فَرْعٌ, Property that is beneficial, or serviceable, and made ready, or prepared: (O, K, TA:) or, accord. to the S, it is ↓ فَرَعٌ which has this signification; but this is said by Sgh [app. in the TS], and after him by the author of the K, to be a mistake; and a verse in which it occurs with the ر quiescent is cited in the O and K as an ex. of it in this sense: it may be, however, that the poet has made the ر quiescent of necessity [by poetic license, for the sake of the metre]; or it may here [properly] signify

“ a branch,” and be metonymically used as meaning recent property. (TA.) A4: See also the next paragraph, latter half.

وب

أ1 وَبِئَتِ الأَرْضُ, (S, K,) aor. ـب (K, TA,) or ـْ (CK,) and تَوْبَأُ, (accord. to the K: in the (S and) L and other lexicons, only this last aor. is mentioned; but it is asserted on the authority of Az, who says that this form of the pret. is of the dial. of the Kusheyrees, that the aor. is تِيبَا, with kesr to the ت, [contr. to analogy,] TA,) inf. n. وَبَأٌ; (K;) or وَبَآءَةٌ; (S;) and وَبِيَت, aor. ـْ and تَوْبَا; (Moo'ab and Jámi') and وَبُؤَت, inf. n. وَبَآءٌ and وَبَآءَةٌ and أَبَآ and أَبَآةٌ (K, the و being changed into أ in the latter two); and with و without وَبُاَ, [i. e., وَبُوَت]; (Moo'ab and Jámi'] and وُبِئَت, (S, K,) like عُنِىَ, [i. e., pass. in form, but neut. in signification,] (K,) aor. ـب (L and other lexicons,) in which, the و being changed into ى, the vowel of the first letter necessarily becomes kesr, (TA,) or تُوبَأُ, (S,) inf. n. وَبْءٌ, (K, TA: in the CK وَبَأٌ,) or وَبَآءٌ; (S, L, &c.;) and ↓ أَوْبَأَت, (S, K,) inf. n. إِيبَآءٌ; (TA;) The land was, or became, afflicted with وَبَأ: (K:) or, much afflicted with disease. (S.) A2: وَبَأَ, aor. ـْ (K; contr. to rule, which requires that the aor. should be يَبَا; MF;) and ↓ وبّأ; He put the utensils, or goods, one upon another; or packed them up: or he prepared, set in order, or arranged, them; syn. عَبَأَ. (K.) A3: وَبَأَ إِلَيْهِ; (S, K: Ibn-El-Mukarram says, I think that Th has mentioned وَبَأْتُ, without tesh-deed; but I am not confident of it; TA;) and ↓ اوبأ, inf. n. إِيْبَآءٌ; (S, K;) dial. vars. of وَمَأَ and أَوْمَأَ; (S;) He made a sign to him: (S, K:) or اوبأ اليه signifies he made a sign to him with his fingers, forwards, that he should approach; and اومأ اليه “ he made a sign to him with his fingers, backwards, that he should retire, or remain behind. ” So accord. to the K; but this is at variance with what the leading lexicographers have transmitted. In the L it is said, وبأ اليه and اوبأ are dial. syns. of ومأ and اومأ he made a sign to him: or, accord. to some, اومأ اليه signifies “ he made a sign with his hand to him, (i. e., to a person before him,) turning his fingers towards the palm of his hand, in order that he should approach him; ” [in doing which, the palm of the hand is held towards the person beckoned;] and ↓ اوبا أليه he made a sign to him; (i. e., to a person behind him,) opening his fingers [from the palm] towards the back of the hand, in order that he should retire, or remain behind; [in doing which, the palm of his hand is towards himself]. El-Ferezdak says, تَرَى النَّاسَ إِنْ سِرْنَا يَسِيرُونَ خَلْفَنَا النَّاسِ وَقَّفُوا ↓ وَإِنْ نَحْنُ وَبَّأْنَا إِلَى

[If we journey on, thou seest the people journey on behind us; and if we make a sign to the people to remain behind, they stop, one after another]. ↓ أَوْبَأْنَا is also read in this verse for وَبَّأْنَا. Ibn-Buzruj says, that اومأ signifies “ he made a sign with the eyebrows, and the eyes; ” and ↓ وبّأ, he made a sign with the hands, and a garment, and the head. (TA.) b2: وَبَأَتْ إِلَيْهِ, aor. ـَ She (a camel) yearned towards it [i. e., towards her young one]; or uttered to it the cry produced by yearning: syn. حَنَّتْ. (K.) 2 وَبَّاَ see 1.4 اوبأ It became unwholesome: syn. صَارَ وَبِيْأً. (TA.) A2: See 1.

(TA.) Accord. to Ibn-En-Nefees, it is a corruption happening to the substance of the air, by reason of causes in the heavens or the earth; as stinking water, and carcases, such as are the result of bloody battles. Accord. to the hakeem Dá-ood, it is a change effected in the air by events in the higher regions, as the conjunction of beaming stars; and by events in the lower regions, as bloody battles, and the opening of graves, and the ascending of putrid exhalations; with which causes conspire the changes of the seasons and elements, and the revolutions of the universe. They mention also its signs; among which are fever, small-pox, defluxions, itch or scab, tumours, &c. What is said in the Nuzheh necessarily implies that the طاعون is one of the different kinds of وبا; as the physicians hold to be the case: but the opinion which the critics among the professors of practical law and the relaters of traditions hold is, that these two diseases are distinct, the one from the other; the وبا being an unwholesomeness in the air, in consequence of which diseases become common among men; and the طاعون being that kind [of disease] with which men are smitten by the jinn, or genii: an opinion which they corroborate by the words in a trad. إِنَّهُ وَحْزُ أَعْدَائِكُمْ مِنَ الجِنِّ [Verily it is the unpenetrating thrusting of your enemies among the jinn]. (TA.) The pl. of وَبَأٌ is أَوْبَآءُ; and of ↓ أَوْبِيَةٌ, وَبَآءٌ (S, K, TA) or أَوْبِئَةٌ. (CK.) بِئَةٌ The state of a land being afflicted with وَبَأ. (K.) أَرْضٌ وَبِئَةٌ, and ↓ وَبِيْئَةٌ, (S, K,) and ↓ مَوْبُوْءَةٌ, (S, L,) and مُوبِئَةٌ, (S, K,) a land much, or often, afflicted with وَبَأ: (K:) or, much afflicted with disease. (S.) وَبَاءٌ: see وَبَأٌ.

وَبِىْءٌ Sick; unwell; (IAar:) See أرْضٌ وَبِئَةٌ. b2: وَبِىْءٌ Unwholesome water. (TA.) مُوبِئٌ Engendering وَبَأ. (TA.) b2: جُرْعَةَ شَرُوبٍ

أَنْفَعُ مِنْ عَذْبٍ مُوبٍ A draught of brackish water is more profitable than sweet water that engenders وَبَأ. (A trad.) Here the وَبُاَ is omitted in the last word to assimilate it to شروب. It is a proverb, applied to two men; one, superior in station, and more slim; the other, inferior in station, but more useful. (TA.) b3: See أَرْضٌ وَبِئَةٌ. b4: مُوبِئٌ Water that is little in quantity; and failing, or stopping. (K.) مَوْبُوْءَةٌ: see أَرُضٌ وَبِئَهٌ.
