ـعْقِــبَةٌ (thus in the O) appears, from what follows, to be an
inf. n. of the latter verb in this sense; or it may perhaps be from the former verb, like تَهْلِكَةٌ from هَلَكَ; for] one says, بَاعَنِى سِلْعَةً وَعَلَيْهِ تَـ

Ham p. 287.) And He asked respecting the information another person than the one whom he asked the first time. (
A,
TA.)
b5: and تَـ
ـعَقَّــبْتُ الرَّجُلَ I sought to discover in the man that which he would be ashamed to expose; or the slip, or fault, that he had committed: and ↓ اِسْتَـ
ـعْقَــبْتُهُ signifies the same. (
O,
K. *) [In critical observations and the like, تـ
ـعقّــبهُ is often used as meaning He found fault with him; animadverted upon him; or impugned his judgment or assertion; بِقَوْلِهِ كَذَا وَكَذَا by his saying so and so. and تـ
ـعقّــب عَلَيْهِ seems to be similarly used as meaning He animadverted upon his saying: (compare اِعْتَرَضَ عَلَيْهِ:) but more commonly as meaning he animadverted upon it, i. e. a saying, and the like.]

ـعقّــبت may here mean I search out: but see the
Ham p. 287; where are some remarks, on this verse, that appear to me to be fanciful and far-fetched.]
6 يَتَعَاقَبَانِ (
T,
S,
O,
Msb,
TA) They follow each other [by turns]; or alternate; (
T,
Msb,
TA;) one coming and the other going; (
TA;) said of the night and the day; (
T,
Msb;) or as the night and the day; (
S,
O,
TA;) as also ↓ يَعْتَقِبَانِ. (
TA.) You say, تَعَاقَبَ المُسَافِرَانِ عَلَى الدَّابَّةِ The two travellers rode upon the beast, each of them in his turn. (
TA: and the like is said in the
Msb.) And تعاقبا عَمَلًا They two did a work, or deed, by turns, or alternately:
syn. اِرْتَوَحَاهُ, (
K and
TA in art. روح,) and تَرَاوَحَاهُ (
TA in that art.) And تعاقبا They helped each other by turns. (
TA.) And بِالضَّرْبِ ↓ يَعْتَقبَانِهِ They two ply him by turns with beating (
A.) See also 3, near the beginning. التَّعَاقُبُ also signifies The coming to water [by turns, or] time after time. (
TA.) 8 إِعْتَقَبَ see 1, former half, in two places:
b2: and see 3, near the beginning, in two places; and 6, also in two places.
b3: [اعتقبهُ signifies also He took it, or had it, subsequently. Thus one of the meanings of الـ
ـعُقْــبَةُ is
expl. in the
A and
TA by the words مَا يَعْتَقِبُونَهُ بَعْدَ الطَّعَامِ مِنَ الحَلَاوَةِ i. e. What they have, or take, after the main portion of the meal, consisting of sweetmeat.
b4: And He had it, or experienced it, as a consequence of an act &c.: and that it may have ↓ مُعْتَقَبُ for an
inf. n. in this sense (as well as in other senses agreeably with
analogy) seems to be meant by its being said (in the
Ham p. 287) that المُعْتَقَبُ signifies أَخْذُ
عُقْــبَةِ الشَّىْءِ i. e. آخِرِهِ. See also a somewhat similar signification of 5.] One says, فَعَلْتُ كَذَا فَاعْتَقَبْتُ مِنْهُ نَدَامَةً i. e. [I did such a thing and] I found, or experienced, in consequence thereof repentance; (
S, O;) as also ↓ اِسْتَـ
ـعْقَــبْتُ. (
A, O.) And مِنْ كَذَا خَيْرًا ↓ استـ
ـعقــب He found, or experienced, in consequence of such a thing, or after such a thing, good. (
T,
Msb.) And hence, perhaps, the saying of the lawyers, يَصِحُّ الشِّرَآءُ عِتْقًا ↓ إِذَا اسْتَـ
ـعْقَــبَ [as meaning The sale, or purchase, is valid when it has emancipation as an after-event]: but this does not agree with the former phrase unless by a far-fetched interpretation; and therefore one should say, إِذَا
عَقَــبَهُ العِتْقُ i. e. when emancipation follows it. (
Msb.)
b5: اعتقب also signifies He withheld, or detained, a thing in his possession. (
TA.) And [particularly] He (a seller) withheld, or detained, an article of merchandise from the purchaser until he should receive the price: (
S,
A,
O,
K:) for the doing of which he is said in a
trad. to be responsible; meaning, if it perish in his keeping. (
S,
A, O.) And He detained, confined, or imprisoned, a man. (
S, O.)

O,
K: [see also 1, last quarter:])
n. un. with 3: (
S, O:) or such as are white of the أَطْنَاب of the joints; (
Mgh,
Msb; [see عَصَبٌ;]) the عَصَب being such as are yellow: (
Mgh and
Msb in art. عصب:)
accord. to
IAth, the عَصَب [or sinews, or tendons,] of the two portions of flesh next the back-bone on either side, and of the سَاقَانِ and وَظِيفَانِ [meaning the hind and fore shanks], that are intermingled with the flesh, of any animal; the half of one whereof, divided lengthwise from the other half, is extended, or drown out, and trimmed, and cleansed of the flesh, and the وَتَر [or string for the bow or the like] is made thereof; and they are sometimes in the two sides of the camel; but [properly speaking] there is a difference between the عَصَب and the
عقَــب; the former being such as incline to yellow, whereas the latter incline to white, and are the harder, and firmer, or stronger, of the two:
AHn says, on the authority of Aboo-Ziyád, that the
عَقَــب are [the sinews, or tendons,] of the two portions of flesh next the back-bone on either side, of the sheep or goat, and of the camel, and of the ox or cow,(

عَقِــبٌ (

TA) and [of mult. as well as of pauc.] أَـ
ـعْقَــابٌ: (
Msb,
TA:) and ↓
عَقِــيبٌ is said to signify the same; but
MF cites an assertion that this is a word of a bad dialect. (
TA.) وَيْلٌ لِلْأَـ
ـعْقَــابِ مِنَ النَّارِ [Wo to the heels from the fire of Hell], (
O,
Msb,

TA,) or, as some say, ↓
عُقْــبَةُ الشيطان, (
Msb,
TA,) with damm, (
TA,) which is forbidden in prayer, is
expl. as meaning The placing the buttocks upon the heels between the two prostrations; which is what some term الإِقْعَآءُ: (
Mgh, *
O,
Msb,
TA:) so says
A'Obeyd: (
Msb:) or,
accord. to some, this means the leaving the heels unwashed in the ablution preparatory to prayer. (
O.) وَطِئَ النَّاسُ
عَقِــبَ فُلَانٍ [
lit. The people trod upon the heel of such a one] means the people walked after, or near after, such a one: and in like manner, هُوَ مُوَطَّأُ الـ
ـعَقِــبِ [
lit. He is one whose heel is trodden upon]: (
O,
TA; *) because of his having command over people, and their being submissive to him: (
O:) the latter phrase means he is one who has many followers: (
A,
TA: [see also art. وطأ:]) جَآءَ زَيْدٌ يَطَأُ
عَقِــبَ عَمْرٍو primarily signifies Zeyd came putting his foot in the place of the foot [or heel] of 'Amr every time that the latter raised his foot. (
Msb.) And one says, مِنْ أَيْنَ
عَقِــبُكَ, (
A,
O,) or مِنْ أَيْنَ كَانَ
عَقِــبُكَ, (
TA,) meaning Whence camest thou? or Whence hast thou come? (
A,
O,
TA.) and رَجَعَ فُلَانٌ عَلَى
عَقِــبِهِ Such a one returned by the way of his heel; i. e., by the way that was behind him, and whence he had come; quickly. (
Msb.) And وَلَّى عَلَى
عَقِــبِهِ, and عَلَى
عَقِــبَيْهِ, He turned back, or receded, from a thing to which he had betaken himself. (
TA.) لَا تَرُدَّهُمْ عَلَى أَـ
ـعْقَــابِهِمْ, occurring in a
trad., means Turn not thou them back to their former condition of not emigrating [for the sake of religion]: and مَا زَالُوا مُرْتَدِّينَ عَلَى أَـ

TA.)

pl. [of the first four words is أَـ

TA.) Hence, (
S,) it is said in the
Kur [xviii. 42], ↓ هُوَ خَيْرٌ ثَوَابًا وَخَيْرٌ
عُقُــبًا [or ↓
عُقْــبًا or ↓

عَقِــبِ رَمَضَانَ, (
T,
O,
Msb,) meaning He journeyed in the end, or the last, or latter, part, of Ramadán: (

Msb:) and فِى أَـ

عَقِــبِهِ and ↓
عَقْــبِهِ, meaning He came after him; or near after him; [as though at his heel; and hence, properly, close after him;] and جَآءَ
عَقِــبَهُ; from the phrase جَآءَ زَيْدٌ يَطَأُ
عَقِــبَ عَمْرٍو, meaning as
expl. above. (
Msb.) And بَنُو فُلَانٍ سَقْىُ إِبِلِهِمْ
عَقِــبَ بَنِى فُلَانٍ i. e. [The sons of such a one, the watering of their camels is] after [that of] the sons of such a one; a saying mentioned by

Rázee says, in the Mukhtár es-Siháh, that he had found no authority in the

عقــبَ فُلَانٍ
[
app. عَقِــبَ], meaning Such a one came after such a one, except a similar saying of
ISk, cited by
Az, in which
عقــبَ is
expl. as signifying after. (
TA.) [But if the word in question be
عَقِــبَ, sufficient authorities for its use in this sense have been cited above: though it seems from what here follows that

لَقِىَ مِنْهُ
عُقْــبَةً He experienced from him, or it, difficulty. (

عِقْــبَةَ القَمَرِ, (
S,) or ↓
عُقْــبَةَ القمر, (so in the

S, O:) but,
accord. to

عُقْــبَةَ القَمَرِ means once in the year: so in the following verse, of one of the Benoo-'Ámir: لَا يُطْعِمُ المِسْكَ وَالكَافُورَ لِمَّتَهُ وَلَا الذَّرِيرَةَ إِلَّا
عُقْــبَةَ القَمَرِ [He will not apply to his hair that descends below the ear musk and camphor, nor the perfume called ذريرة, save once in the year]: or, as
Lh relates it,
عِقْــبَةَ القمر: thus in the
L; in which it is added that this saying of
IAar requires consideration, because the moon cuts [a meridian of] the celestial sphere once in every month: but
MF replies that it may be in
conjunction with the said star only once in the year, as the moon's path varies in each successive month. (

Msb,) well known: (
K:) of the

عُقَــابٌ ذَكَرٌ [This is a male eagle]: or it is only female; and a bird of another kind couples with it; whence Ibn-'Oneyn says, satirizing a person named Ibn-Seyyideh, Say thou to Ibn-Seyyideh, مَا أَنْتَ إِلَّا كَالْـ

MF,
TA:) the
pl. (of pauc.,
S, O) is أَـ
ـعْقُــبٌ, (
S,
O,
K,) because it is of the
fem. gender and the measure أَفْعُلٌ specially belongs to pls. of

عِقْــبَانُ الجِرْذَانِ [The eagles that prey upon the large field-rats] are not black, but of the colour termed كُهْبَة; and no use is made of their feathers, except that boys feather with them round-topped pointless arrows. (

عُقَــابُهَا [meaning It has a banner, which guides the generous; like as the military banner guides and attracts warriors: for غَايَةٌ sometimes signifies a sign which the vintner used to set up to attract customers]: the repetition is approvable because of the difference of the two words in themselves:

tropical:) A black she-camel; as being likened to the bird. [so called], (

accord. to some, المـ
ـعقّــب [here] signifies the debtor who puts off the payment of his debt; so that المظلوم is an
agent and المـ

K.) مُعَاقِبٌ: see
عُقِــيبٌ, with which it is
syn. b2: [Hence,] إِبِلٌ مُعَاقِبَةٌ Camels that eat one time, or turn, of the [kind of plants called] حَمْض, and another of the [kind called] خُلَّة. (
S,
O,
K.)
b3: And نَخْلَةٌ مُعَاقِبَةٌ A palm-tree that bears fruit one year, and fails to do so another. (
TA.)
b4: And مُعَاقِبٌ also signifies A revenger of blood: a poet, cited by
IAar, says, وَنَحْنُ قَتَلْنَا بِالمَحَارِقِ فَارِسًا جَزَآءَ العُطَاسِ لَا يَمُوتُ المُعَاقِبُ meaning [And we slew, in El-Mahárik, (
app. the name of a place,) a horseman,] taking our bloodrevenge quickly, in the time that elapses between a sneeze and the prayer for the sneezer [which is usually “ God have mercy on thee ”]: the memory of the blood-revenger shall not die. (
TA. [It is there also said that الـ
ـعقــب (
app. a mistranscription for ↓ المُـ
ـعَقِّــبُ, as may be conjectured from the fact that the م after the article is often indistinctly written, and inferred on other grounds,) is
syn. with المُعَاقِبُ as here explained.]) مُعْتَقَبٌ: see 8:
A2: and see also 5, last sentence.
مُعْتَقِبٌ: see
عَقِــيبٌ.
مُتَـ
ـعَقَّــبٌ: see 5, former half, in two places.
يَـ
ـعْقُــوبٌ, perfectly
decl., because it is an Arabic word, not altered, and, although having an augmentative letter at the beginning, not of the measure of a verb; whereas يـ
ـعقــوب as a proper name of foreign origin is imperfectly
decl.; (
S, O;) The حَجَل [or partridge]: (
K:) or the male of the حَجَل; (
S,
O,
Msb;) or of the قَبْج; (
Lh,
Mgh;) but
ISd says, I know not whether
Lh mean by this the حَجَل or the قَطَا or the كَرَوَان, nor do I know that the قَبْح is the same as the حَجَل: (
TA:) and the male of the قَطَا [or sand-grouse]: (
TA:)
pl. يَعَاقِيبُ. (
S,
Mgh,
O,
Msb.) كَأَنَّكُمْ يَعَاقِيبُ الحَجَلِ, occurring in a
trad., means [
As though ye were the males of partridges] in your haste, and your flying into destruction: for they are such that, when they see the female in the possession of the fowler, they throw themselves upon him, so as to fall into his hand. (
Z,
TA in art. ركب.)
b2: and
accord. to some, (
TA,) the
pl. also signifies Horses: they being thus termed as being likened to the يعاقيب of the حَجَل, (
O,
TA,) because of their swiftness: (
TA:) so in the phrase رَكْضَ اليَعَاقِيبِ [
As the running of the horses, or of the swift horses]; in a verse of Selámeh Ibn-Jendel: (
O,
TA:) but others say that the meaning [here] is, the males of the حَجَل. (
TA.) It is said in the
L that فَرَسٌ يَـ
ـعْقُــوبٌ means A horse that has a run after another run [or the power of repeating his running] (ذُو
عَقْــبٍ [or
عَقِــبٍ]). (
TA.)
b3: J has cited [in the
S] the words of a poet, عَالٍ يُقَصِّرُ دُونَهُ اليَـ
ـعْقُــوبُ [High, so that the يـ
ـعقــوب falls short of reaching it] as an
ex. of the last word meaning the male of the حَجَل: but
IB says that it appears to mean in this case the male of the
عُقَــاب [or eagle]; like as اليَرْخُومُ means the male of the رَخَم; and اليَحْبُورُ, the male of the حُبَارَى; for the حَجَل is not known to have so high a flight: and ElFarezdak describes يَعَاقِيب as congregating with vultures over the slain. (
TA.) اليَـ
ـعْقُــوبِيَّةُ [a
coll. gen. n.,
n. un. يَـ
ـعْقُــوبِىٌّ,] the name of A sect of the خَوَارِج, followers of Yaakoob Ibn-'Alee El-Koofee. (
TA.)
b2: And A sect of the Christians; the followers of Yaakoob ElBarádi'ee [or Jacobus Baradæus], who assert the unity of the divine and human natures [in the person of Christ], and who are the most unbelieving and stubborn of the Christians: so says El-Mak- reezee, in one of his tracts. (
TA.)
