(T, S, M, Msb.) وَلَقَدْ ذَرَأْنَا لِجَهَنَّمَ كَثِيرًا مِنَ الْجِنِّ وَ الْإِنْسِ, in the Kur [vii. 178], means [And verily] we have created [for Hell many of the jinn, or genii, and of mankind]. (T.) b2: He multiplied, or made numerous. (K.) يَذْرَؤُكُمْ فِيهِ, in the Kur [xlii. 9], means He multiplieth you thereby; i. e., by making of you, and of the cattle, pairs, males and females: so says Zj; and Fr says the like; and this is a correct explanation. (T.) b3: Also, (S, M, K,) and so ذَرَا, (TA,) He sowed land: (S, M, K, TA:) but the latter verb is said to be the more chaste. (MF.) A2: ذَرَأَ فُوهُ His teeth fell out from his mouth; (K, TA;) as also ذَرَا and ذَرَى, without ء: (TA:) but the most chaste is said to be without ء: ذَرَأَ, with ء, is said to be of weak authority, or a mispronunciation. (MF.) b2: ذَرِئَ, (M, K,) or ذَرِئَ شَعَرَهُ, (S,) aor. ـَ (K,) inf. n. ذَرَأٌ; (S, * M, O;) and ذَرَأَ, (S, K,) aor. ـَ (K;) and ذَرُؤَ, aor. ـُ (Ktr, TA;) His hair became white, or hoary, in the fore part of his head: (S:) or he had whiteness intermixed with blackness in the hair of his head: (M:) or his hair became white, or hoary: (K:) or he began to become white, or hoary, (M, K,) in the fore part of his head, (K,) or in the upper part of each side of the head.

And اذرأهُ إِلَىكَذَا He constrained him, or compelled him, to have recourse to, or to do, such a thing. (K, * TA.) A 'Obeyd mentions أَذْرَى, without ء; but 'Alee Ibn-Hamzeh asserts that this is incorrect. (M.) b3: اذرأ الدَّمْعَ He, or it, made tears to flow. (K, * TA.) b4: And اذرأه He frightened him. (M, K.) A2: أَذْرَأَتْ She (a camel) excerned (أَنْزَلَتْ) the milk (M, K, TA) from [app. a mistake for into] her udder: a dial. var. of أَدْرَأَتْ [q. v.]. (TA.)

(S, M, Msb.) b2: [And used in the sense of the pass. part. n. of that verb; and alike as sing. and pl. because originally an inf. n.] ذَرْءُ النَّارِ, (S, K, TA,) [for ذَرْءٌ لِلنَّارِ,] related as occurring in a trad. (S, TA) of 'Omar, (TA,) means Created [i. e. destined] for the fire [of Hell]: (S, K, TA:) but as some relate it, the phrase is ذَرْوُ النَّارِ, meaning [either “ the children of the fire,” agreeably with what next follows, or] “ to be scattered in the fire. ” (S, TA.) b3: Also The number of [ones] offspring: one says, أَنْمَىاللّٰهُ ذَرْأَكَ May God increase [the number of] thine offspring; as also ذَرْوَكَ. (T.) A2: Somewhat; (M, K;) as in the saying, بَلَغَنِى ذَرْءٌ مِنْ خَبَرٍ [Somewhat of news, or information, reached me, or came to my knowledge]: (K, TA:) or ذَرْءٌ مِنْ خَيْرٍ [somewhat of good]: (so in some copies of the K and M:) thus ذرء is written by IAth: in some copies of the K, ذُرْءٌ, with damm: (TA:) or ذَرْءٌ here means a little; and ذَرْوٌ is a dial. var. thereof. (M in art. ذرو.) Also A little of what is said. (TA.) A3: A thing intervening as a separation or an obstacle: so in the saying, مَا بَيْنَنَا وَ بَيْنَهُ ذَرْءٌ [There is not anything intervening &c. between us and him, or it].

ذُرْأَةٌ (S, M, K) and ↓ ذَرَأٌ, (S,) the latter an inf. n. (M, [see 1,]) the former a simple subst., (S,) Whiteness, or hoariness, in the fore part of the head: (S:) or whiteness intermixed with blackness in the hair of the head: (M:) or whiteness, or hoariness, of the hair: (K:) or the beginning of whiteness or hoariness (M, K) in the fore part of the head, (K,) or in the upper part of each side of the head. (A, TA.) ذَرْآنِىٌّ and ذَرَآنِىٌّ Intensely white salt: (S, M, K:) derived from ذُرْأَةٌ: one should not say أَنْذَرَانِىٌّ; (S, K;) for this is a vulgarism: some pronounce it with the unpointed د. (TA.) ذَرِىْءٌ Sown seed. (S, M, K.) ذُرِّيَّةٌ (T, S, M, Mgh, K) and ذِرِّيَّةٌ (M, K) and ذَرِّيَّةٌ, (K,) [or ذَرِيَّةٌ, without a sheddeh to the ر, accord. to the Msb in art. ذر,] always pronounced by the Arabs without ء: (S:) accord. to some, (TA,) from الذَّرْءُ; (M, TA;) so says Th; (M;) the measure of the first being فُعُّولَةٌ or فُعِّيلَةٌ; [so that it is originally ذُرُّوءَةٌ or ذُرِّيْئَةٌ;] (TA;) but the ء is suppressed because of frequency of usage: (M:) accord. to others, from الذَّرُّ, signifying “ the act of scattering; ” because God scattered the ذرّيّة upon the earth; and the measure is فُعْلِيَّةٌ or فُعُّولَةٌ, [if the latter,] the word being originally ذُرُّورَةٌ, the last ر being changed into ى, in a manner similar to the case of تَقَضَّتِ العُقَابِ [in which تَقَضَّضَت becomes تَقَضَّيَت and then تَقَضَّت; so that ذُرُّورَةٌ becomes ذُرُّويَةٌ and then ذُرِّيَّةٌ]: (TA:) Children, or offspring, (T, S, Mgh, K,) of a man, and used as a sing. also, (Mgh,) or of men and of jinn, or genii: (S, K:) pl. [ذُرِّيَّاتٌ (see art. ذر) and sometimes] ذَرَارِىُّ. (S.) Hence, هَبْ لِى مِنْ لَدُنْكَ ذُرِّيَّةً طَيِّبَةً [in the Kur iii. 33, meaning Give me, from Thee, a good offspring]. (Mgh.) And in a trad. of Ibn-'Omar, فَجَعَلَنِى فِى الذُّرِّيَّةِ means And he put me among the little ones, or young ones. (Mgh.) b2: It is also applied to signify Progenitors: as in the saying, in the Kur [xxxvi. 41], حَمَلْنَا ذُرِّيَّتَهُمْ فِى الْفُلْكِ المَشْحُونِ [We carried their progenitors in the laden ark]. (T.) b3: And it is used also to signify Women; [because they are the sources of offspring;] (T, Mgh, TA;) like as سَمَآءٌ is used to signify “ rain: ” (TA:) as in the saying of 'Omar, حُجُّوا بِالذُّرِّيَّةِ [Perform ye the pilgrimage with the women]. (T, Mgh, TA. [See his saying in full, voce رِبْقٌ.]) الذَّارِئُ an epithet applied to God, The Creator. (T.) أَذْرَأُ; fem. ذَرْآءُ: see 1, last sentence. Applied to a ram, Having whiteness in the head; (M, K;) and so the fem. applied to a ewe: (M:) or having the ears variegated, or speckled, with black and white, and the rest black: (K:) or it has this latter meaning when applied to a horse, and to a kid; and so the fem. applied to a female kid, (S, O,) or to a she-goat: (M:) and is not applied to the sheep-kind. (S, O.) مُذْرِئٌ: see 4, last sentence.

برج

1 بَرِجَ [written in the TA without the vowel-signs, but the context seems to show that it is thus, and that the inf. n. is بَرَجٌ] It (anything) was, or became, apparent, manifest, or conspicuous, and high, or elevated: whence بُرْجٌ, applied to a certain kind of structure. (TA.) b2: بَرِجَ, [aor. ـَ inf. n. بَرَجٌ, [also signifies] He had that quality of the eye which is termed بَرَجٌ, explained below.

(A boo-Is-hák, TA.) Fr, referring to verse 33 of ch. xxxiii. of the Kur, says that in the time when Abraham was born, the women used to wear a shirt of pearls, not sewed at the two sides; or, as some say, they used to wear garments which did not conceal their persons. (TA.) بُرْجٌ [Gr. πύργος, (Golius,) A tower;] an angle, syn. رُكْن, (S, K,) of a fortress, (S,) or of a city: (TA:) and sometimes a fortress itself: (S, K:) so called from its conspicuousness and construction and height: (TA: [see 1:]) or the primary signification of برج is strength; whence أَبْرَجُ in a sense explained below: (Har p. 286:) pl. [of mult.] بُرُوجٌ and [of pauc.] أَبْرَاجٌ: (S:) the بُرُوجٌ of the wall of a city or fortress are chambers (بُيُوت [meaning towers]) built upon the wall: and such chambers (بيوت) built upon the sides of the angles of a قَصْر [i. e. pavilion or palace &c.] are sometimes thus called. (Lth.) [Hence,] بُرْجُ حَمَامٍ [A pigeon-turret; a pigeon-house; being generally constructed in the form of a turret, or of a sugar-loaf;] a lodging-place of pigeons: pl. as above. (Msb.) b2: Also (assumed tropical:) [A sign of the Zodiac;] one of the بُرُوج of the heaven; (S, K;) which are twelve in number; every one having a distinct name: (TA:) the Arabs in ancient times did not know them: (Ham p. 560:) pl. أَبْرَاجٌ as well as بُرُوجٌ: (Msb, TA:) these are meant by the بُرُوج mentioned in the Kur xv. 16 and xxv. 62 and lxxxv. 1: (Bd, Jel:) or in the last of these instances, (Bd,) by the بروج in the heaven are meant the Mansions of the Moon: (Bd, Msb:) or the stars or asterisms or constellations: (TA:) or the great stars or asterisms or constellations; (Bd, Msb;) and so, accord. to Zj, in the second of the said passages of the Kur: (TA:) or the gates of heaven: (Bd, Msb:) or, as some say, i. q. قُصُور [i. e. pavilions &c.]. (TA.) بَرَجٌ Such a constitution of the eye that the white entirely surrounds the black, (S, M, K,) no part of the black being concealed: (S, M:) or width of the eye: or width of the white of the eye, and largeness of the eyeball, and beauty of the black part: or clearness of the white and black parts theeeof: (M, TA:) or width of the eye, and largeness of the eyeball: (Ham p. 560:) or width of the eye with intense whiteness of the person: (TA:) and distance between the eyebrows.

(K.) خُلُقٌ بَارِجٌ A large, or liberal, disposition; syn. وَاسِعٌ. (Ham p. 560.) أَبْرَاجٌ A man having that quality of the eye which is termed بَرَجٌ: (M, TA:) fem. بَرْجَآءُ; applied to a woman; (S) and also to an eye (عَيْنٌ) having the quality termed بَرَجٌ: (M, TA:) pl. بُرْجٌ.

لب

1 لَبڤ3َ [لَبَّ, originally لَبِبَ,] sec. per. لَبِبْتَ, (S, K,) the most common form of the verb, (TA,) and [لَبَّ, originally لَبُبَ, like حَبَّ, originally حَبُبَ, q. v.,] sec. Pers\. لَبُبْتَ, aor. ـَ (S, K,) in the dial. of El-Hijáz, deviating from rule as aor. of the latter form of the verb; (TA;) inf. n. لَبَابَةٌ (S, K) and لِبٌّ and لَبٌّ; (TA;) and لَبَّ, aor. ـِ in the dial. of Nejd; like فَرَّ, aor. ـِ (TA;) and [لَبَّ], sec. Pers\. لَبِبْتَ, aor. ـُ [contr. to analogy;] (Yz;) and [لَبَّ], sec. Pers\.

لَبُبْتَ, aor. ـُ [agreeably with analogy;] (Yoo;) He was, or became, possessed of لُبّ, i. e., understanding, intellect, or intelligence. See لُبٌّ. (S, K.) It has been said by some (as the authors of the T, the S, &c.) that لَبُبْتَ, aor. ـَ has not its like among the class of reduplicative verbs; i. e., in being of the measure فَعُلَ in the pret., and يَفْعَلُ in the aor. : but three similar verbs have been mentioned; namely, دَمُمْتَ, شَرُرْتَ, and عَزُزَتِ الشَّاةُ (meaning “ the ewe, or goat, became scant in her milk ”). (TA.) [This, however, is a mistake: the assertion relates to لَبُبْتَ having for its aor. (regularly) تَلُبُّ: see دَمَّ, aor. ـُ A2: لَبَّ, aor. ـِ and ↓ لَبْلَبَ; He (a goat, and sometimes ↓ لبلب is used in the same sense with reference to a buck-antelope,) uttered a cry, or sound, at rutting-time. (TA.) A3: لَبَّ اللَّوْزَ He broke the almond and took forth its kernel. (TA.) b2: لَبَّهُ, (K,) sec. Pers\. لَبَبْتُ, aor. ـُ inf. n. لَبٌّ, (S,) He struck him upon the part called the لَبَّة; (S, K;) i. e., the pit above the breast, between the collar-bones; the place where camels are stabbed. (TA.) A4: لَبَّ, aor. ـُ It (a house) faced, was opposite to, or stood over against, another house. (Kh, S, K.) A5: See 4.2 لبّب, inf. n. تَلْبِيبٌ, He (a man warning, or admonishing, a people, and crying out for aid,) put his quiver and his bow upon his neck, and then grasped his own clothes at the upper part of his bosom: ex.

إِنَّا إِذَا الدَّاعِى اعْتَرَى وَلَبَّبَا [Verily we, when a caller comes seeking a kind office, and puts his quiver &c.]: (Lth:) or لبّب here signifies تَرَدَّدَ: see above. (TA.) b2: He drew together his garments at his bosom and breast, in altercation, or contention, and then dragged him along. (S, K.) b3: Also, He put round his neck a rope, or a garment, and held him with it. (TA.) A2: See also 5, and تَلْبِيبٌ

A3: لبّب It (grain) got a لُبّ, or heart, (S, K,) an edible heart. (TA.) A4: لبّب, inf. n. تَلْبِيبٌ, He went backwards and forwards, or to and fro; went and came: syn. تَرَدَّدَ. (K.) ISd says, This is related, but I know not what it is. (TA.) See below.4 البّ بِالمَكَانِ, inf. n. إِلْبَابٌ; (ISk, S, K;) and ↓ لَبَّ بِهِ, [aor. ـُ inf. n. لَبٌّ; (Kh, S, K;) He remained, stayed, abode, or dwelt, in the place; (S, K;) kept to it. (S.) Hence, says Fr., the expression لَبَّيْكَ, q. v. infra. (S, K.) b2: البّ عَلَى الأَمْرِ He kept to the thing, or affair. (TA.) A2: البّ It (growing corn, &c.) had, bore, or produced, the edible substance in the grain: like احبّ. (S.) A3: البّ لَهُ الشَّىْءُ The thing appeared to him: syn. عَرَضَ. (K.) A4: أَلْبَبْتُ السَّرْجَ I made a لَبَب (or breast-leather) to the saddle. (TA.) b2: أَلْبَبْتُ الدَّابَّةَ I put a لَبَب (or breast-leather) on the beast of carriage; (S, K;) as also ↓ لَبَبْتُهَا, aor. ـُ (K.) 5 تلبّبت بِمِنْطَقَتِهَا [app. a mistake for بِمِنْطَقِهَا] She (a woman) put one end of her scarf over her left shoulder, and drew forth the middle of it from beneath her right arm, and covered with it her bosom, and put the other end also over her left shoulder. (TA.) b2: تلبّب He raised his clothes, or tucked them up: (K:) he girded himself, and raised, or tucked up, his clothes; (S;) a signification assigned in the A to ↓ لَبَّبَ: he girded himself with his garment about his bosom; or wrapped it round him at his bosom: he drew together his garments: he girded himself with a weapon &c.: he armed himself, and raised, or tucked up, his clothes for fight: (TA:) he bound his waist with a rope. (S, in art. حزم.) b3: تَلَبَّبَ الرَّجُلَانِ The two men seized each other at the part called لَبَّة. (TA.) A2: تلبّب الوَادِى (tropical:) He took his way through the valley: and, in like manner, ↓ لبّبوا and ↓ استلبّوا they took their way through it. (A.) 10 استلبّهُ He made trial of his understanding, or intelligence. See لُبٌّ.

A2: And see 5.

R. Q. 1 لَبْلَبَةٌ, [inf. n. of لَبْلَبَ,] The being tender, affectionate, kind, or compassionate, to offspring. (S, K.) b2: لَبْلَبَتْ عَلَى وَلَدِهَا, inf. n. as above, She (a ewe) was tender, or affectionate, to her young one, and licked it, when she brought it forth, (S, K,) making a sound like لِبْ لِبْ. (TA.) b3: See 1. b4: لَبْلَبَ عَلَيْهِ, inf. n. as above, He was kind, or compassionate, to him; i. e., to a man: he was kind, or affectionate, to him, and aided, or succoured, him. (TA.) A2: لَبْلَبَ It was separated, dispersed, or scattered. (AA, T, K.) (The inf. n., لبلبة, is explained by تَفَرُّقٌ: but I think it not improbable that this is a mistake for تَرَفُّقٌ; and that the meaning is, He was gentle, courteous, or kind.]

لَبٌّ inf. n. of لَبَّ “ he remained, &c. ” b2: لبَّيْكَ [At thy service! lit., Doubly at thy service!] (S, K, &c.) and لَبَّيْهِ [At his service: &c.]. (TA.) [See an ex. voce مَرْهُوبٌ. It is used in the present day like our phrase At thy service, and may well be thus rendered, or with the addition of time after time.] لبّيك is derived from أَلَبَّ [or rather from لَبَّ as syn. with البّ] “ he remained &c. ”; and means I wait intent upon thy service, or upon obedience to thee: (Fr, S, K;) waiting [at they service] after waiting; [i. e., time after time;] and answering [thy commands] after answering: (K:) it [i. e. the noun without the annexed pron.] is put in the acc. case as an inf. n. [used as an absolute complement of its own verb which is understood], as in حَمْدًا لِلّٰهِ وشُكْرًا; and the right way would be to say لَبًّا لَكَ; but it is put in the dual number for the sake of corroboration; meaning إِلْبَابًا بِكَ بَعْدَ إِلْبَابٍ, and إِقَامَةً بَعْدَ إِقَامَةٍ, [waiting at thy service, or in attendance upon thee, or in thy presence, after waiting, or time after time]. (Fr, S.) [See also the similar expression سَعْدَيْكَ.] Or لَبٌّ signifies the obeying, or serving; or obedience, or service; from the original signification of the “ remaining, staying, abiding, or dwelling,” [in a place]: the dual, in the nom. case, is لَبّانِ; and in the acc. and gen., لَبَّيْنِ; and the original meaning of لبيك is I have obeyed thee, or served thee, twice: [or I do obey thee, &c.:] the ن [of لبّين] being elided because of its being prefixed to the pron. (IAar.) Or لبّيك is from the saying دَارُ فُلَانٍ تَلُبُّ دَارِى “ the house of such a one faces my house ”; (Kh, S, K;) and the meaning is I present myself before thee, (or repair to thee, K,) doing what thou likest, answering thee [after answering, or time after time]: the ى is to form the dual number; and indicates that the noun is in the acc. case as an inf. n. [used as mentioned above]. (Kh, S.) Or it means My love [is given] to thee; from the expression اِمْرَأَةٌ لَبَّةٌ “ a woman loving (and affectionate, TA,) to her husband ”: so in the K: but the expression, as related on the authority of Kh, is أُمٌّ لَبَّةٌ; which is confirmed by a verse that he cites. (TA.) Or the meaning is إِخْلَاصِى لَكَ [My sincere service, or the like, (is given) to thee;] from the expression حَسَبٌ لُبَابٌ

“ pure nobility, or the like. ” (K.) Accord. to Yoo, لبّيك is a noun in the sing. number with the pron. annexed to it: this noun is originally لَبَّبٌ, of the measure فَعْلَلٌ: (not of the measure فَعَّلٌ, because this is rare in the language:) the the last ب is changed into ى to avoid the reduplication; and thus it becomes لَبَّىٌ: then the ى, being movent, and immediately preceded by fet-hah, is changed into ا; and it becomes لَبَّا [or لَبَّى, for the ى in this case is called ا]: then, being conjoined with ك in لبّيك, and with ه in لبّيه, its ا is changed into ى; after the same manner as you say إِلَيْكَ and عَلَيْكَ and لَدَيْكَ. (TA.) [But see what here follows.] b3: لَبَّىْ يَدَيْكَ is a phrase exactly similar to لبّيك, meaning At the service (or, lit. doubly at the service) of thy hands! and this is said, in the S, art. لبى to be at variance with the opinion of Yoo, given above; for, if لبّى were similar to إِلَى &c., being prefixed to a noun, not a pron., it would be لَبَّى يَدَيْكَ, not لَبَّىْ.] Accord. to El-Khattá- bee, لبّى يديك signifies May thy hands be safe and sound! the desinential syntax being disregarded in the saying يديك, which rightly should be يَدَاكَ, in order that يديك may match in sound with لبّيك: but Z says, that the meaning is, I will obey thee, and be at thy free disposal, as a thing which thou shalt dispose of with thy hands in whatever manner thou shalt please. (TA.) b4: In like manner you say لَبَّىْ زَيْدٍ [At the service (or doubly at the service) of Zeyd]. (Msb.) See art. لبى. b5: لَبِّ, with kesreh for its termination, like أَمْس and غَاقِ, is also related as having been used: (Sb:) [and it is still used in some parts, as signifying At thy service!].

A2: لَبٌّ keeping, or adhering, [to a thing]: remaining, or staying. (K.) b2: A camel-driver who keeps constantly to the work of driving the camels, not leaving them. (TA.) b3: رَجُلٌ لَبٌّ A man who keeps to a thing, or affair, or business; as also ↓ لَبِيبٌ; (S, K;) a man who keeps to his art, or craft, or trade, not ceasing from it. (TA.) b4: رجلٌ لَبٌّ طَبٌّ A man who keeps to business, [and is skilful, expert, clever, or intelligent]. (S, TA.) A3: لَب One who renders himself near to people by affection and friendship [or is friendly and affectionate to them]: courteous, polite, or affable: fem. لَبَّةٌ: pl. لِبَابٌ. (TA.) b2: اِمْرَأَةٌ لَبَّةٌ A woman who renders herself near by affection and friendship [or is friendly and affectionate], to people; (S;) courteous, polite, or affable: (S, K:) a woman loving to her husband; (K;) affectionate to him: or, accord. to Kh, the expression is أُمٌّ لَبَّةٌ: see لَبٌّ, above.

حَرَامٌ وَإِنِّى بَعْدَ ذَاكِ لَبِيبُ by بعد ذاك is meant مع ذاك; and by لبيب, مُقِيم, (remaining, or staying,) or, accord. to some, مُلَبٍّ, from التَّلْبِيَة: see art. لبى. (S.) لَبَابَةٌ: see لَبَابٌ.

لِبَابَةٌ What is worn by the مُتَلَبِّب [app. meaning him who girds himself, and raises or tucks up his clothes, and arms himself, for fight]: (TA:) [A garment which he who prepares himself for fight puts on over other garments. (Freytag.) App., A piece of drapery thrown over the upper part of the bosom, and over the shoulders. See 5.]

(TA.) See عُصْرٌ.

لَوْلَبٌ A large quantity of water, which, when the aperture (مَفْتَح, as in the T; or فَتْح, as in MS. copies of the K; in the CK فُتُح;) [mean-ing the aperture of the tank or the like] carries off thereof what it can, and the hole by which it runs out (صُنْبُورُهُ, meaning the مَثْعَب of the water, TA,) is too narrow to admit it freely on account of its abundance, whirls round, and becomes like the spout of a vessel. (T, K.) AM says, I know not whether it be an Arabic word or arabicized; but the people of El-'Irák are fond of using it. (TA.)

Its more appropriate place, I think, would be in an art. composed of the letters للب (accord. to what is said of مُلَوْلَبٌ in the S, K); or rather, (accord. to its derivation from the Pers\.,) لولب.] Pl. لَوَالِبُ.
