فم

فَمٌ The mouth: (MA, KL, &c.:) it is originally فَوَهٌ, (S, K, and Msb in art. فوه,) with two fet-hahs, (Msb in that art.,) or فَوْهٌ; (so in some copies of the S;) the ه being cut off from it, the و is not susceptible of declension, because it is quiescent, therefore م is substituted for it; but when you form the dim. or the pl., you restore it to its original state, saying [in the former case] فُوَيْهٌ and [in the latter case] أَفْوَاهٌ, and not أَفْمَآءٌ [in some of the copies of the S not أَفْمَامٌ]: but when you form the rel. n., you say ↓ فَمِىٌّ; and, if you will, ↓ فَمَوِىٌّ, combining the substitute and the letter for which it is substituted, like as they say in the dual فَمَوَانِ; this being held to be allowable because of there being therein another letter rejected, i. e. the ه, as though they made the م in this case to be a substitute for the ه, not for the و: (S, TA:) and one says also فَمَيَانِ, which, like فَمَوَانِ, is anomalous; (IAar, K in art. فوه;) but one says فَمَانِ also, as well as فَمَوَانِ: (Msb in art. فوه:) it has three forms, فَمٌ and فُمٌ and فِمٌ: (S, K, TA:) and some decline it doubly; saying in the nom. case فُمٌ, accus. فَمًا, and gen. فِمٍ; (S, TA;) like اِمْرُؤٌ and اِبْنُمٌ, which have been said to be the only other instances of the kind: (TA:) when it is prefixed to the [pronominal] ى, one says فِىَّ and فَمِى: but when to [a pronoun] other than the ى, it is declined with the letters و and ا and ى, so that one says فُوُهُ and فَاهُ and فِيهِ; but one also says فَمُهُ: (Msb. in art. فوه:) and sometimes the م is musheddedeh, (S, K,) in poetry, as in the saying, (S, TA,) of Mohammad Ibn-Dhu-eyb El-'Ománee El-Fukeymee, the rájiz, (TA in this art. and in art. طسم,) addressing Er-Rasheed, or, accord. to IKh, said in relation to Suleymán Ibn-'Abd-El-Melik and 'Abd-El- 'Azeez. (TA in art. طسم,) يَا لَيْتَهَا قَدْ خَرَجَتْ مِنْ فُمِّهِ حَتَّى يَعُودَ المُلْكُ فِى أُسْطُمِّهِ (S, TA) or أُطْسُمِّهِ i. e. [O, would that it had gone forth from his mouth, so that the dominion might return] to its rightful owner; (S in art. سطم, and TA in art. طسم;) and it would have been allowable, (S, TA,) accord. to ISk, (S,) or accord. to Fr, (TA,) if he had said ↓ من فَمِّهِ, with fet-h to the ف: (S, TA:) the pl. of فم, with teshdeed, is أَفْمَامٌ; and its dim. is ↓ فُمَيْمٌ, mentioned by Lh. (TA.) MF says that many of the expositors of the Tes-heel have collected the dial. vars. of this word, compounded and uncompounded, and they have exceeded twenty; that with fet-h, they say, being the most common and the most chaste. (TA.) [See more in art. فوه.] b2: [Hence,] الفم is metonymically applied to (tropical:) The teeth. (Ham p. 242.) b3: [Hence also,] فَمُ الحُوتِ (assumed tropical:) The star [a] in the mouth of Piscis Australis. (Kzw &c.: see art. حوت.) And فَمُ الفَرَسِ (assumed tropical:) The star [e] upon the lip of Pegasus. (Kzw.) b4: [And فَمُالرَّحِمِ (assumed tropical:) The mouth of the womb.] b5: And فَمُ النَّهْرِ (assumed tropical:) The mouth of the river. (MA.) b6: And [hence likewise,] فَمٌ is also used as meaning (assumed tropical:) Branch; opposed to اِسْتٌ meaning “ root. ” (TA in art. سته; in which see اِسْتٌ, last quarter.) A2: فَمٌ مِنَ الدِّبَاغِ means The quantity that is used at one time, of tan; (Fr, K, * TA;) like نَفْسٌ مِنْهُ. (Fr, TA.) فَمِىٌّ and فَمَوِىٌّ: see the preceding paragraph, near the beginning.

فُمَّ a dial. var. of the conjunction تُمَّ [q. v.]: (K:) or the ف in the former is a substitute for the ث in the latter: one says, رَأَيْتُ عَمْرًا فُمَّ زَيْدًا and ثُمَّ زَيْدًا, both meaning the same [i. e. I saw 'Amr: then Zeyd]: (TA:) and in like manner one says فُمَّتَ and فُمَّتْ, meaning تُمَّتَ and تُمَّتْ. (M and TA voce ثُمَّ.) فُمٌّ and فَمٌّ: see the first paragraph, latter half.

فُمَيْمٌ: see the first paragraph, latter half.

خص

ى1 خَصَاهُ, (S, Mgh, Msb, K,) aor. ـْ (JK, Mgh, Msb,) inf. n. خِصَآءٌ (JK, S, Mgh, Msb, K) and خَصَآءٌ, mentioned, by MF, from Expositions of the Fs, (TA,) and خَصْىٌ, agreeably with analogy, occurs in a trad. of Esh-Shaabee, though we have not heard it, (Mgh,) He drew forth, or extracted, his testicles; (S, Mgh, Msb, K;) [he gelded, or castrated, him;] namely, a stallion, (S,) a sheep or goat, or a horse or similar beast, (Lth, JK, TA,) and a man or boy, (TA,) or a slave. (Msb.) One says, بَرِئْتُ إِلَيْكَ مِنَ الخِصَآءِ [I am irresponsible to thee for castration]. (S.) b2: [Hence,] كَانَ جَوَادًا فَخُصِىَ [lit. He was a fleet and excellent horse, and he was gelded]; meaning (tropical:) he was rich, and he became poor. (TA.) b3: The poets term satire, and the act of overcoming, خِصَآء: one of them says, خَصَيْتُكَ يَا ابْنَ حَمْزَةَ بِالقَوَافِى

كَمَا يُخْصَى مِنَ الحَلَقِ الحِمَارُ [(tropical:) I have emasculated thee, O son of Hamzeh, with rhymes, like as the he-ass is emasculated in consequence of the disease termed حَلَق; for which, it is asserted, (as is said in the TA, art. حلق,) there is no remedy but gelding]. (IB, TA.) 4 اخصى [as though meaning (assumed tropical:) He did away with that which rendered him like one emasculated; the ا, app., having a privative property;] (tropical:) he learned one science. (Sgh, K, TA.) b2: The use of إِخْصَآءٌ [its inf. n.] in the sense of خِصَآءٌ inf. n. of خَصَى is a mistake. (Mgh.) 8 اختصى He castrated himself; or made himself a eunuch. (KL.) خَصٍ Having a complaint of his خُصَى [or testicles]. (K.) خُصْىٌ; and the dual خُصْيَانِ: see خُصْيَةٌ, in five places.

خِصْىٌ: see what next follows.

خُصْيَةٌ A testicle; (El-Umawee, S;) sing. of خُصًى; (S, Mgh, Msb, K;) it is [one] of the organs of generation; (K;) well known; (Msb;) and ↓ خِصْيَةٌ signifies the same, (S, K,) and so does ↓ خُصْىٌ, (Msb, K,) and ↓ خِصْىٌ; (K;) and خُــصْوَةٌ is a dial. var., occurring in a trad., but is extr.: (Sh, TA:) accord. to some, (Msb,) the sing. is خُصْيَةٌ [alone], (T, Msb,) of the fem. gender; (T, TA;) and the dual is ↓ خُصْيَانِ, (ElUmawee, T, S, Mgh, Msb, K,) of the masc. gender, (T, TA,) without ت, (El-Umawee, S, Mgh, Msb,) irreg., (El-Umawee, S, Msb,) like

أَلْيَانِ dual of أَلْيَةٌ, (El-Umawee, S,) and خُصْيَتَانِ also, (T, Mgh, K,) this latter being sometimes used, (T, Mgh,) though rarely, (MF on the authority of the Expositions of the Fs,) both mentioned by ISh: (T, TA:) AO says, I have heard خُصْيَة, with damm, but I have not heard ↓ خِصْيَة, with kesr; and I have heard ↓ خُصْيَاهُ [as the dual], though they did not use ↓ خُصْىٌ as the sing.; (S;) IB, however, cites exs. of this last as a sing.: (TA:) AA says that الخُصْيَتَانِ signifies the two testicles; and ↓ اَخُصْيَانِ, the two skins [which compose the scrotum, i. e.,] in which are the two testicles; citing an ex. in which the latter dual is used in this sense; (S;) and ISk says the like; whereas IKoot makes الخُصْيَةُ to signify [the scrotum, i. e.] the skin containing the testicle. (Msb.) b2: Also (tropical:) An earring (قُرْطٌ) in the ear: (JK, Sgh, K:) thus called by way of comparison: (TA:) pl. خُصًى. (JK.) خِصْيَةٌ: see the next preceding paragraph, in two places.

خَصِىٌّ Whose testicles have been drawn forth, or extracted; (S, Mgh, Msb, K;) [gelded, or castrated; a eunuch;] applied to a sheep or goat, and a horse or similar beast, (TA,) and a man (S, TA) or boy, (TA,) or a slave; (Msb;) as also ↓ مَخْصِىٌّ: (K:) pl. خِصْيَانٌ (S, Mgh, K) and خِصْيَةٌ: (S, K:) in giving it the former pl., they liken it to a subst., like ظَلِيمٌ, of which the pl. is ظِلْمَانٌ: so says Sb; meaning that فِعْلَانٌ is generally the pl. of فَعِيلٌ as a subst. (TA.) One says also خَصِىٌّ نَصِىٌّ; using the latter word as an imitative sequent. (Lh, TA.) b2: Also (tropical:) Poetry in which is no amatory effusion. (K, TA.) خَاصٍ [act. part. n. of 1]. They say, جَآءَ كَخَاصِى

العَيْرِ [lit. He came like the gelder of the ass], meaning he came ashamed: (JK, and TA in art. جوج:) and also, disappointed, or unsuccessful. (TA in that art.) مَخْصًى The place of cutting [or gelding or castration]. (S.) مَخْصِىٌّ: see خَصِىٌّ.
