[دِرَمْ]; (S;) also pronounced ↓ دِرْهِمٌ, (S, Msb, K,) but this is of rare occurrence; (TA;) and ↓ دِرْهَامٌ, (S, K,) which is more rare; (TA;) A certain silver coin; (Mgh, Msb;) like as دِينَارٌ signifies a certain gold coin: (Mgh:) [and the weight thereof; i. e. a drachm, or dram:] its weight is six دَوَانِيق [or dániks]; (Msb, and K in art. مك;) i. e., the weight of the دِرْهَم إِسْلَامِىّ: but in the Time of Ignorance, some dirhems were light, being four دوانيق; and these were called طَبَرِيَّةٌ: and some were heavy, being eight دوانيق; and these were called عَبْدِيَّةٌ, or بَغْلِيَّةٌ: and of these two they made two that were equal; so that each درهم was six دوانيق: this is said to have been done by 'Omar: or, accord. to another account, some dirhems were of the weight of twenty carats, and were called the weight of ten [i. e. of ten dániks]; and some were of the weight of ten [carats], and were called the weight of five; and some were of the weight of twelve [carats], and were called the weight of six; and they put the three weights together, and called the third part thereof the weight of seven: and one of the weights of the درهم before El-Islám was twelve carats, which is six دوانيق: but the درهم اسلامىّ is sixteen carats; the دانق of this being a carat and two thirds: (Msb:) or dirhems should be fourteen carats [i. e. seven dániks]; ten being of the weight of seven مَثَاقِيل [or mithkáls]: in the Time of Ignorance, some were heavy, [equal to] مثاقيل; and some were light, [called]

طَبَرِيَّةٌ; and when they were coined in the age of El-Islám, they made of the heavy and the light two dirhems, so that ten became equal to seven مثاقيل: A 'Obeyd says that this was done in the time [of the dynasty] of the sons of Umeiyeh: (El-Karkhee, cited in the Mgh:) [see also De Sacy's “ Chrest. Arabe,” sec. ed., vol. ii. p. 110 of the Arabic text, and p. 282 of the transl.; where it is further stated, on the authority of Ibn-Khaldoon, that the دِرْهَم مَغْرِبِىّ was three دوانيق; and the يَمَنِىّ, one دانق; and, as is said in the Msb, that 'Omar adopted the mean between the بغلىّ and the طبرىّ, making the درهم to be six:] the pl. (of درهم, S) is دَرَاهِمُ and (of درهام, S) دَرَاهِيمُ. (S, K.) [The former of these pls. is often used as signifying Money, cash, or coin, in an absolute sense.] The dim. is ↓ دُرَيْهِمٌ and ↓ دُرَيْهِيمٌ: the latter held by Sb to be anomalous; for he says that it is as though it were formed from دِرْهَامٌ, though this was not used by them. (TA.) b2: Hence, as being likened thereto, [i. e., to the coin thus called,] (TA,) دِرْهَمٌ signifies also (assumed tropical:) A حَدِيقَة [app. as meaning a round piece of land surrounded by a fence or the like, or by elevated land; for this is one of the significations of حَدِيقَةٌ]. (K.) [It is said that] this is taken from the saying of 'Antarah, [describing shower of copious rain,] فَتَرَكْنَ كُلَّ حَدِيقَةٍ كَالدِّرْهَمِ [So that they left every ridged-round spot of ground like the درهم]. (TA.) [But accord. to one reading, he said, كُلَّ قَرَارَةٍ; meaning, as is said in the EM, p. 227, “every round hollow; ” and likening such a hollow to the درهم because of its roundness, and the clearness and whiteness of its water.]

دِرْهَامٌ: see the next preceding paragraph.

دُرَيْهِمٌ: see the next preceding paragraph.

مُدَرْهَمٌ A man possessing many دَرَاهِم: (Az, K:) it has no verb: (TA:) you should not say دُرْهِمَ. (Az, K.) مُدْرَهِمٌّ An old man tottering (سَاقِطٌ) by reason of age. (S, K.)

نشج

1 نَشَجَ, aor. ـِ inf. n. نَشِيجٌ and نُشُوجٌ, It (water) made a sound [in running] upon the ground.

شيح

1 شَاحَ: see 4. b2: [Also, accord. to Freytag, on the authority of the “ Kitáb el-Addád,” He was brave, or bold: thus having two contr. significations. b3: Another meaning assigned to it by him, in common with شَايَحَ and أَشَاحَ, as on the authority of the K, i. e. “ Diligens fuit,” is a mistake.]2 شيّحهُ, (O,) inf. n. تَشْيِيحٌ, (K,) He cautioned him; or made him to fear, or be in fear. (O, K. *) b2: And He removed him, or it, far away. (O.) A2: And شيّح, (O, TA,) inf. n. as above, (K,) He looked at his adversary, or antagonist, and straitened him, or treated him with hardness or harshness: (O, K, * TA:) from IAar. (TA.) 3 شَاْيَحَ see the next paragraph, in two places. b2: Also He fought. (T, K.) 4 اشاح, (S, A, K,) inf. n. إِشَاحَةٌ, (IAar, TA,) He was cautious, or in fear, (S, A, K,) مِنْهُ [of it], (A, TA,) i. e. a thing, or an affair, (TA,) and عَلَى حَاجَتِهِ [for the thing that he wanted]; (K;) as also ↓ شايح, (S, A, K,) inf. مُشَايَحَةٌ and شِيَاحٌ; and ↓ شَاحَ: (K:) or he was cautious and in fear, endeavouring to repel death.

(IAar, TA.) One says, كَلَّمْتُهُ فَأَشَاحَ بِوَجْهِهِ I spoke to him, and he turned away his face. (A.) b5: اشاح also signifies He advanced, or came forward; syn. أَقْبَلَ. (Fr, O, TA.) [Thus it has two contr. meanings. See also the part. n., مُشِيحٌ.] b6: And He defended what was behind his back. (IAth, TA.) [See, again, the part. n.] b7: اشاح بِذَنَبِهِ, said of a horse, He let his tail hang down loosely. (Lth, S.) F, in the K, following Az and Sgh, says that this is a mistranscription of the verb, for اساح; but his assertion requires proof. (MF.) [See the latter verb, in art. سيح.]

A2: اشاحت الأَرْضُ The land produced the plant called شِيح. (AHn, O, K.) شِيحٌ Cautious, or fearing; (A, K;) as also ↓ شَائِحٌ, (A, TA,) and ↓ مُشِيحٌ: (As, O:) or this last, cautious, or fearing, and at the same time striving, labouring, toiling, or exerting himself: (Az, TA:) or all signify prudent; discreet; or having, or using, precaution, or good judgment; (Ham p. 281;) and so ↓ شَيْحَانُ. (Id. p. 43.) b2: In the dial. of Hudheyl, (S, O,) Striving, labouring, toiling, or exerting himself, (S, A, O, K,) in affairs; (S, O, K;) and so ↓ شَائِحٌ, (A, K,) and ↓ مُشِيحٌ: (As, O, K:) pl. of the first [and app. of the second also] شِيَاحٌ: (S, O.)

(Fr, O, L.) A3: Accord. to the K, [probably on the authority of Lth,] it signifies also A [garment of the kind called] بُرْد, of El-Yemen: but Az says that there is no kind of garment so called: the correct word is سَيْحٌ, with [the unpointed] س [and with fet-h]. (TA.) شَيْحَانُ [and probably with tenween also]: see شِيحٌ. b2: Also Very jealous; (S, O, K;) because such is cautious for his wives, or women under covert, or household or family; (S, O;) and so ↓ شَائِحٌ. (K.) b3: Also, (O, K,) and ↓ شِيحَانٌ, (As, O, K,) Tall: (O, K:) or goodly in tallness. (L.) b4: And the former, That makes, or utters, a low sound in running; [so I render يَتَهَمَّسُ عَدْوًا in the K and TA; in the O and in my MS. copy of the K, يَتَهَمَّشُ; but the former I think the right reading; app. by reason of quickness, or swiftness; for it is added,] quickness, or swiftness, is meant thereby: (O, TA: *) mentioned by Az, on the authority of Khálid Ibn-Jembeh. (TA.) [In this sense it seems to be with tenween: for]

شَيْحَانَةٌ [is its fem. and] means A quick, or swift, she-camel. (S, O.) b5: Also A horse strong in spirit; syn. شَدِيدُ النَّفْسِ; (O, K, TA; in the CK, النَّفَسِ [i. e. in breath];) and so ↓ شِيحَانٌ: thus expl. by Skr. (O.) شِيحَانٌ: see the next preceding paragraph, in two places.

شِيَاحٌ Mutual caution or fear. (And The act of striving, labouring, toiling, or exerting oneself, in anything. (K.) [But in both of these senses it seems to be an inf. n. of 3, q. v.]

A2: Also (K) Drought, dearth, scarcity. (O, K.) شَائِحٌ: see شِيحٌ, in two places: b2: and see also شَيْحَانُ.

مُشِيحٌ: see شِيحٌ, in two places. It is also expl. as meaning Striving, labouring, toiling, or exerting himself, and persevering in his work: (A:) and striving &c., and hastening, or going quickly. (TA.) b2: Also Advancing, or coming forward, to one. (Fr, O, K.) b3: And Defending what is behind one's back. (Fr, O, K.) مُشَيَّحٌ is expl. as meaning Striped; applied to a garment: but Az says that there is no such word, so applied: the correct word is مُسَيَّحٌ, with [the unpointed] س. (TA.) مَشِيحَى: see the following paragraph.

مَشِيحَآء: see the following paragraph.

مَشْيُوحَى: see the following paragraph.

مَشْيُوحَآءُ (S, O, K) and ↓ مَشِيحَى (O, K) A state of haste: (S, O, K:) or a state of confusion: (K:) the latter meaning mentioned in the L: (TA:) you say, هُمْ فِى مَشْيُوحَآءَ مِنْ أَمْرِهِمْ (S, O, K) and فى مَشِيحَى من امرهم (O, K) They are in a state of haste in respect of their affair: (S, O, K:) or in a state of confusion in their affair: (L, K:) as having the latter meaning, Ibn-Málik says that it is مَشِيجَآء, with ج and medd, of the measure فَعِيلَآء, not مَفْعِلَآء; but this requires consideration: Ibn-Umm-Málik and others, following AHei, say that ↓ القَوْمُ فِى مَشِيحَآءَ مِنْ أَمْرِهِمْ means the people, or party, are in a state of striving, labour, toil, or exertion, and determination, or resolution, in respect of their affair. (TA.) A2: مَشْيُوحَآءُ also signifies A land that produces the plant called شِيح; (S, O, K;) and so ↓ مَشْيُوحَى: (O, K:) or it signifies many plants of the kind so called: thus in the T, on the authority of As and A 'Obeyd, and so says AHn, as is stated [in the O and] in the R; (TA;) AHn saying further that it is like مَشْيُوخَآء meaning a company of شُيُوخ [or elderly men], and مَعْيُورَآء meaning a herd of عُيُور [or asses], &c.; (O;) [so that it is a quasi-pl. n.;] but this is disallowed by El-Mufaddal Ibn-Selemeh. (TA.)
