Yousay likewise تفنّن فِى الكَلَامِ [He practised, or took to, various modes, or manners, in speech; he diversified therein]. (TA in art. طرق, conj. 3.

[of mult.] فُنُونٌ (T, S, M, Msb, K) and [of pauc.] أَفْنَانٌ. (T, M, K.) One says, رَعَيْنَا فُنُونَ النَّبَاتِ [We pastured our cattle upon the various sorts of herbage]: and أَصَبْنَا فُنُونَ الأَمْوَالِ [We obtained the various sorts of possessions]: and a poet says, قَدْ لَبِسْتُ الدَّهْرَ مِنْ أَفْنَانِهِ كُلُّ فَنٍّ نَاعِمٍ مِنْهُ حَبِرْ [I have enjoyed of the various sorts of fortune, every pleasant, soft, sort thereof]. (T.) [↓ أُفْنوُنٌ has for its pl. أَفَانِيْنُ, which may also be regarded as pl. of أَفْنَانٌ pl. of فَنٌّ like as it is said to be a pl. pl. of فَنَنٌ: and] أَفَانِينُ [alone], (S,) or أَفَانِينُ كَلَامٍ, (TA,) signifies kinds [or sorts], and ways, or modes, or manners, [i. e. diversities, or varieties,] of speech; (S, TA, * PS;) like أَسَالِيبُ [pl. of أُسْلُوبٌ].

(T, K. *) The Arabs say, كُنْتُ بِحَالِ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَنَّةً مِنَ الدَّهْرِ and فَيْنَةً مِنَالدَّهْرِ [I was in such and such a state, or condition, at, or during, a particular time]. (T.) فُنَّةٌ Much, or abundance, of herbage. (IAar, K.) فَنَنٌ A branch of a tree: (S, M, Msb, K:) or such as is of just proportion in length or in breadth: (T:) said to be syn. with غُصْنٌ; but this latter signifies “ such as has been cut off ” i. q. قَضِيبٌ meaning مَقْضُوبٌ: (M:) pl. أَفْنَانٌ; (T, S, M, Msb, K;) said by Sb to be its only pl.; (M;) occurring in the Kur lv. 48; where some explain it as pl. of فَنٌّ, and meaning “ sorts,” or “ species ”; others, as pl. of فَنَنٌ: (T, Bd:) and أَفَانِينُ is a pl. pl., (T, S, K,) i. e. pl. of أَفْنَانٌ. (T, S.) b2: And as a branch shelters like as does darkness, a poet uses it metaphorically, saying, أَغَاثَ شَرِيدَهُمْ فَنَنُ الظَّلَامِ (tropical:) [The shelter of the darkness aided him, or them, who fled]. (M.) b3: And [in like manner also] the pl. pl. is used in a trad. describing the inmates of Paradise, as meaning (tropical:) Locks of hair; these being likened to branches: and El-Marrár says, أَعَلَاقَةً أُمَّ الوَلِيدِ بَعْدَمَا

أَفْنَانُ رَأْسِكَ كَالثَّغَامِ المُخْلِسِ (tropical:) [Dost thou feel attachment of love to Umm-ElWeleed after that the locks of thy head have become like the hoary thaghám?]; meaning the locks of the hair of his head when he had become hoary. (T. [See ثَغَامٌ.]) فَنِينٌ A humour in the armpit [of a camel], with pain. (M, K.) b2: And A camel having the tumour thus called; as also ↓ مَفْنُونٌ. (M, K.) شَجَرَةٌ فَنَّآءُ and فَنْوَآءُ, which latter is anomalous, A tree having branches; (S;) the latter thus expl. by AA; but by rule it should be فَنَّآءُ: (A'Obeyd, T:) or the latter, which is anomalous, signifies having long branches: (M:) or both signify having many branches. (K.) b2: And [hence] اِمْرَأَةٌ فَنْوَآءُ (assumed tropical:) A woman having much hair: but in this case, as in the former, the epithet, by rule, should be فَنَّآءُ. (M.) [See also فَيْنَانٌ.]

فَنَّانٌ A wild ass that has various sorts, or modes, of running: (S, K:) used in this sense in the poetry of El-Aashà. (S.) [See also مِفَنٌّ.]

شَعَرٌ فَيْنَانٌ (assumed tropical:) Hair having locks [lit. branches (أَفْنَان)] (M, * K) like the أَفْنَان of trees; [the latter word properly signifying having many branches, (see Ham p. 622,) of the measure فَيْعَالٌ, not فَعْلَان;] therefore it is perfectly decl.: so says Sb: (M:) or it signifies long and beautiful hair; the latter word being of the measure فَيْعَالٌ from الفَنَنُ, and the ى augmentative. (T.) b2: and one says also, agreeably with analogy, رَجُلٌ فَيْنَانٌ, (M,) and اِمْرَأَةٌ فَيْنَانَةٌ, (M, K,) meaning [A man, and a woman,] having much hair; (K;) for فَيْنَان is perfectly decl., derived from أَفْنَانُ الشَّجَرِ: IAar has mentioned اِمْرَأَةٌ فَيْنَى meaning [a woman] having much hair; and if the phrase be thus, فَيْنَان must be imperfectly decl.; but [ISd says] I regard this as a mistake of IAar. (M.) [See also art. فين.]

أُفْنُونٌ: see فَنٌّ, in two places.

A2: Also A tangled, or luxuriant, or dense, branch. (T, K.) b2: And Obscure, indistinct, or confused, speech, (T, K,) of a foolish, stupid, or dull, person. (T.) b3: And A mixed, or confused, run, of a horse and of a she-camel. (T, K.) A3: Also A serpent. (T, M, K.) b2: And An old woman: so some say: (M:) or an old woman advanced in age: (T, K:) or one who is flaccid, or flabby: (K:) Yaakoob has explained it as having the first of these three meanings; but IB regards this as improbable, because a verse of Ibn-Ahmar which is cited as an ex. thereof is preceded by what shows that it is applied to his beloved. (TA.) [It is said in the M to be also the proper name of a certain woman; and as such it may be used by Ibn-Ahmar.] b3: And i. q. دَاهِيَةٌ [A calamity, or misfortune, &c.]: (M, K:) so some say. (M.) A4: And The first part of youth, or youthfulness; and of clouds. (M, K.) مِفَنٌّ A man who has various sorts, or modes, [i. e. diversities, or varieties,] of speech; (T, TA;) and so ↓ مُتَفَنِّنٌ: (S:) or a man who utters, or performs, wonderful things: (S, K, TA:) fem. with ة.

(M, TA.) b2: And Old, and evil in disposition, as an epithet applied to a man: (M:) and so with ة applied to a woman. (M, K.) b3: Also, with ة, A she-camel that seems to one to have been ten months pregnant, ثُمَّ تَنْكَشِفُ مَنَ الكِشَافِ [app. meaning then suffers, or exposes, herself to be compressed; from الكِشَافُ as inf. n. of كَشَفَت said of a she-camel: compare تنكشف as here used with تَكْتَشِفُ said of a woman]. (K.) مَفْنُونٌ: see فَنِينٌ.

مُتَفَنِّنُ: see مِفَنٌّ.

فك

1 الفَكُّ, accord. to Er-Rághib, primarily signifies التَّفْرِيجُ [i. e. The opening a thing; and particularly by diduction, or so as to form an intervening space, or a gap, or breach]. (TA.)

إِصْبَعُهُ i. e. اِنْفَرَجَتْ وَزَالَتْ [Such a one fell, and his foot, or his finger, became unknit, or loosened, and dislocated]: (S, O:) [or] انفكّت قَدَمُهُ means زَالَتْ [i. e. his foot became dislocated; and انفكّت إصْبَعُهُ means اِنْفَرَجَتْ [i. e. his finger became unknit, or loosened in a joint].

(Msb.) One says, مَقْتَلُ الرَّجُلِ بَيْنَ فَكَّيْهِ [which may be best rendered The man's slayer is between his two jaws, or two lateral portions of his lower jaw]; (S, O, TA;) meaning the man's tongue: (TA:) a prov., in which مقتل may be [properly] an inf. n., or a noun of place, or an inf. n. used in the place of an act. part. n.: accord. to the third of these explanations, [which most nearly denotes the meaning intended,] it is as though one said, قَاتِلُ الرَّجُلِ بَيْنَ فَكَّيْهِ. (Meyd. [See Freytag's Arab. Prov., ii. 597.]) See also فَكَكٌ.

[But see 1, last explanation but one, where it is mentioned as an inf. n.]) b2: And (K) A state of dislocation of the foot: (S, O, K:) hence the phrase, in a verse of Ru-beh, كَمُنْهَاضِ الفَلَكٌ: (S, O: *) but (in this instance, O), accord. to As, الفَلَك is used by poetic license for الفَكّ [meaning “ the jaw,” so that the phrase signifies like him whose jaw has become broken after its having been set]. (S, O.) b3: And A state of fracture of the jaw: (K, TA:) or of dislocation thereof. (TA.) فَكَاكُ الرَّهْنِ and فِكَاكُهُ, (S, O, Msb, * K,) the latter mentioned by Ks (S, O, Msb) and ISk, (Msb,) That wherewith the pledge is, or is to be, redeemed: (S, O, Msb, * K:) so in a verse cited voce غَلَقَ.

(TA.) And أَحْمَقُ فَاكٌّ وَهَاكٌّ (tropical:) [A foolish, or stupid, person,] one who talks of that which he knows and of that which he knows not, and is more, or oftener, incorrect than correct.
