(S.) b3: Also (assumed tropical:) Fresh milk upon which is poured رَائِب [i.e. curdled, or thick, or churned, milk]: (S, K:) if dates and clarified butter are put into it, it is [termed] عَوْبَثَانِىٌّ.

نص

1 نَصَّ الشَّىْءَ, (S,) aor. ـُ (Mgh,) inf. n. نَصٌّ, (Mgh, TA,) He raised the thing; syn. رَفَعَهُ [which is here to be understood, like the English equivalent by which I have rendered it, in several senses, as the sequel will show]. (S, Mgh, TA.) This is the primary signification: (TA:) or, accord. to As, it is from نَصَّ النَّاقَةَ, q. v. infra. (S.) You say, نَصَّ العَرُوسَ, (M, K,) or نَصَّتْهَا, (A, Mgh,) or نَصَّها النِّسَآءُ, (Msb,) aor. as above, (A, Mgh,) and so the inf. n., (Msb,) He, or she, or the women, raised, (A, Msb,) or seated, (K,) or raised and seated, (Mgh,) or showed, or displayed, (M,) the bride upon the مِنَصَّة, (M, A, Msb, K,) or upon the مَنَصَّة. (Mgh.) and نَصَّتِ الظَّبْيَةُ جِيدَهَا The doe-antelope raised, or elevated, her neck. (M, TA.) And نُصَّ فُلَانٌ سَيِّدًا (tropical:) Such a one was set up as a lord, or chief. (A, TA.) And نَصَّ المَتَاعَ, (M, K,) inf. n. as above, (M,) He put the furniture, or goods, or utensils, one upon another. (M, K.) Hence, (TA,) نَصَّ الحَدِيثَ, (M, Msb, TA,) or نَصَّهُ إِلَى

صَاحِبِهِ, (A,) aor. and inf. n. as above, (M, Msb, TA,) (tropical:) He traced up, or ascribed, or attributed, the tradition to the author thereof, resting it on his authority, by mentioning him, or mentioning, uninterruptedly, in ascending order, the persons by whom it had been handed down, up to the author; or mentioning the person who had related it to him from the author, if only one person intervened; syn. رَفَعَهُ; (M, TA;) [i. e.] رَفَعَهُ إِلَى

مَنْ قَالَهُ: (Msb:) IAar says, (TA,) النَّصُّ signifies الإِسْنَادُ إِلَى الرَّئِيسِ الأَكْبَرِ (tropical:) [the tracing up, or ascribing, or attributing, a tradition, in the manner explained above, to the greatest person of authority, here meaning Mohammad, or the author of the tradition]; (K, TA;) [i. e.] نَصُّ الحَدِيثِ signifies إِسْنَادُهُ وَرَفْعُهُ إِلَى الرَّئِيسِ الأَكْبَرِ. (Mgh.) You also say, نَصَّ الحَدِيثَ إِلَيْهِ, (K,) or إِلَى فُلَانٍ, (S,) (tropical:) He ascribed, or attributed, or traced up, the tradition to him, or to such a one, in the manner explained above; syn. رَفَعَهُ. (S, K.) See also أَنَصُّ. b2: نَصَّ الشَّىْءَ (assumed tropical:) He made the thing apparent, manifest, plain, or evident; he showed it, exhibited it, manifested it, evinced it, discovered it, or revealed it. (M, * K.) [The verb seems to be thus used because a thing is rendered conspicuous by being raised. See نَصَّ العَرُوسَ, above.] b3: [Hence, نَصَّ عَلَى شَىْءٍ مَّا, aor. and inf. n. as above, (tropical:) He, or it, (generally said of a passage in the Kur. or a trad.,) made a statement, or a plain, explicit, unequivocal declaration, respecting some, or any, particular thing, not capable of application to any other thing: and he mentioned something, or anything, particularly, or specially; he particularized, or specified it by words; very frequently used in these senses: and such we are to understand from the saying] النَّصُّ also signifies التَّوْقِيفُ وَالتَّعْيِينُ عَلَى شَىْءٍ مَّا: (K:) [for which I would rather read النَّصَّ عَلَى شَىْءٍ مَّا also signifies التَّوْقِيفُ وَالتَّعْيِينُ: adding the observation that التوقيف as syn. with النصّ is restricted in art. وقف in the K to a special relation to the law: and that النَّصُّ عَلَى الشَّىْءِ is often found explained as signifying تَعْيِينُهُ; as, for instance, in p. 377 of Har.:] these significations of النَّصُّ are tropical, from that word as denoting “ elevation ” and “ appearance. ” (TA.) See also نَصٌّ below. b4: [From نَصَّهُ signifying “ he raised it,” and consequently “ he made it apparent,” are derived several other significations, here following.]

b5: يَنُصُّهُمْ [app. for يَنُصُّ مَا عِنْدَهُمْ] occurs in a trad. respecting Heraclius, meaning (assumed tropical:) He elicits, and makes apparent, their opinion: (TA:) or نَصَّ الرَّجُلَ, (S, M, &c.,) inf. n. as above, (M,) signifies (tropical:) he went to the utmost point in questioning, or asking, the man respecting a thing, (S, K,) so as to elicit what he possessed [of information respecting it]; (S;) i. e. (TA) (tropical:) he importuned the man in questioning, or asking, and urged him to tell the utmost that he knew; (A, TA;) or (assumed tropical:) he questioned, or asked, the man respecting a thing so as to elicit the utmost that he possessed [of information respecting it], (M.) [See also 3.]

b6: [In like manner you say,] نَصَّ النَّاقَةَ, (S, M, Mgh, K,) and الدَّابَّةَ, (M, Msb,) aor. as above, (M,) and so the inf. n., (S, M,) He made the she-camel, and the beast, to exert herself to the full, or to the utmost, or beyond measure, in going, or pace; or to go the pace termed مَرْفُوع; syn. رَفَعَهَا فِى السَّيْرِ: (M, Mgh:) or he elicited her utmost pace; (K, TA;) from النَّصُّ as signifying الرَّفْعُ; for the phrase رَفَعَهَا فِى السَّيْرِ necessarily implies the eliciting the utmost of her celerity of pace: (TA:) or he went a vehement pace so as to elicit the utmost that she possessed [of celerity[: (As, S:) or he put her in motion so as to elicit her utmost pace: (A'Obeyd, TA:) or he urged, or incited, her, and elicited her pace: (Msb:) نَصَّ, alone, also occurs in a trad., (M, Msb,) as meaning رَفَعَ نَاقَتَهُ: (M:) and نَاقَتَهُ ↓ نَصْنَصَ signifies the same as نَصَّهَا. (IKtt, TA.) You do not say of a camel نَصَّ, making him the agent, and the verb intrans. (O, * TA.) [In the M, however, I find it said, that النَّصُّ and النَّصِيصُ signify السَّيْرُ الشَّدِيدُ; app. indicating that they are inf. ns., of which the verb is نَصَّ, aor. , accord. to rule, نَصِّ, signifying He went a vehement pace, or vehemently: and Golius says, as on the authority of Ibn-Maaroof, that this verb is used intransitively, with نَصِيصٌ for its inf. n., as signifying valide incessit: but see نَصٌّ below.] b7: [Hence, app.,] النَّصُّ also signifies The urging or inciting [a beast]; syn. الحَثُّ. (M.) b8: and نَصَّ الشَّىْءَ, (M, K,) aor. ـُ inf. n. نَصٌّ, (TA,) He moved the thing; put it in motion, or into a state of commotion; agitated it; stirred it; shook it; (M, K;) as also ↓ نَصْنَصَهُ. (S, M, K.) Hence the saying, فُلَانٌ يَنُصُّ أَنْفَهُ غَضَبًا (K, TA [in the CK, incorrectly, يَنِصُّ,]) Such a one moves about his nose by reason of anger. (TA.) And ↓ نَصْنَصَ لِسَانَهُ He moved about his tongue; (S, M;) like نَضْنَضَهُ; (M;) which is a dial. form; (A'Obeyd, S;) the former being the original; the ص not being, as some assert it to be, substituted for the ض; for these two letters are not of the same kind so as to be commutable. (M.) A2: See also 8.2 نَصَّّ see 3.3 ناصّهُ, (K,) inf. n. مُنَاصَّةٌ, (TA,) He (a man, TA) went to the utmost length with him, (namely his creditor,) in reckoning, so as to omit nothing therein; (K, TA;) as also ↓ نصّصهُ, (K,) inf. n. تَنْصِيصٌ. (TA.) He (God) went to the utmost length with him, (namely a man,) in questioning and in reckoning. (TA.) [See also 1.]6 تناصّ القَوْمُ The people, or company of men, crowded, thronged, or pressed, together. (TA.) 8 انتصّ He, or it, (said of a camel's hump, Lth, TA,) became raised, or elevated, or high: (K, TA:) or (TA) became even and erect. (Lth, K, * TA.) [In a copy of the A, the verb in these senses, and relating to a camel's hump, is written نَصَّ.] You say also, انتصّت العَرُوسُ, (M, K,) or انتصّت على المِنَصَّةِ, (A,) The bride became raised, (A,) or seated, (K,) or shown or displayed, (M,) upon the مِنَصَّة. (M, A, K.) A2: He (a man, TA) drew himself together; contracted himself; or shrank. (Ibn-'Abbád, K, TA.) R. Q. 1 نَصْنَصَ, (S, M, K,) inf. n. نَصْنَصَةٌ, (Sh, M,) He, or it, became in motion, or in a state of commotion; became agitated, stirred, or shaken; moved, or moved about,; bestirred himself or itself; shook. (Sh.) He (a man) shook in his walk, being erect. (M.) He (a camel) shook, or became in a state of commotion, in rising from the ground. (M.) b2: [Also,] said of a camel, it is like حَصْحَصَ; (S;) i. e., it signifies (TA) He (the camel) fixed, or made firm or steady, his knees upon the ground, and put himself in motion, or in a state of commotion, previously to rising. (Lth, K, TA.) [See also نَضْنَضَ.] b3: And He (a camel) made a hollow place in the ground with his breast, in order to lie down. (M, TA.) A2: نَصْنَصَ used transitively, see 1, latter portion, in three places.

نَصٌّ The end, or extremity, of anything; (Az, S, M;) the utmost, or extreme, extent, term, limit, point, or reach, of a thing: this is the primary signification. (Az, TA.) It is said in a trad., (S, M,) of 'Alee, (S,) إِذَا بَلَغَ النِّسَآءُ نَصَّ الحِقَاقِ, فَالعَصَبَةُ أَوُلَى بِهَا مِنَ الأُمِّ (S, * M, K, *) or نَصَّ الحَقَائِقِ, (K, * TA,) but the former is that which is commonly known; (TA;) i. e. When women attain the period of mature intellect, (Mbr, S, K, TA,) and know the real natures of things, (K, art. حق,) [then the male relations on the father's side have a better right to dispose of her in marriage than the mother;] meaning, when they attain to that age at which they are qualified to contend for their rights; [accord. to the former reading;] for this is what is termed الحِقَاق: (K, * TA:) or when they attain to puberty: (Az, TA:) or when they attain to that period at which they become objects of contention for right; when every one of the guardians asserts himself to have the best right: (K:) or الحقاق in the trad. is a metaphorical term, from the same word as applied to camels [when entering upon the fourth year]; (K, * TA;) and الحقائق, also, in this case, accord. to some, properly signifies the same, being a pl. of حِقَّةٌ; (TA in art. حق;) and the meaning is, when they attain to the extreme term of childhood. (M, K.) A2: In the conventional language of men of science, it signifies (tropical:) A thing [or statement] plainly, or explicitly, declared, or made manifest, by God, and his Apostle; of the measure فَعْلٌ in the sense of the measure مَفْعُولٌ: (Msb:) or a نَصّ of the Kur-án, and of the traditions, is an expression, or a phrase, or a sentence, indicating a particular meaning, not admitting any other than it: (TA:) so in the conventional language of the lawyers and the scholastic theologians: (MF, on the خُطْبَة of the K:) or a statute, or an ordinance, indicated by the manifest or plain meaning of words of the Kur-án, and of the Sunneh: from النَّصُّ as denoting “ elevation ” and “ appearance: ”

or, as some say, from نَصَّهُ as signifying “ he elicited, and made apparent, his opinion. ” (TA.) Hence, also, as used by the practical lawyers, it signifies (tropical:) An evidence, or a proof: (TA:) [and particularly a text of the Kur-án, or of the Sunneh, used as an authority in an argument, for proof of an assertion.] The pl. [in all these senses] is نُصُوصٌ. (Msb.) b2: [Also, (assumed tropical:) The text, or very words, of an author, book, writing, or passage: frequently used in this sense.]

A3: Hardness, difficulty, or straitness, of an affair, or a state, or case. (M, TA.) A4: سَيْرٌ نَصٌّ, and ↓ نَصِيصٌ, (S, K,) A vehement pace, in which a beast is made to exert itself to the full, or to the utmost, or beyond measure; or in which the utmost possible celerity is elicited; [this meaning seems to be indicated, though not expressed, in the S;] syn. جِدٌّ رَفِيعٌ: (K:) or, the former, as Az says, in one place, a kind of swift pace: or, as he says in another place, the utmost pace which a beast of carriage is able to attain: (TA:) or نَصٌّ and ↓ نَصِيصٌ signify a vehement pace or going. (M.) See 1.

نَصِيصٌ: see نَصٌّ, last sentence, in two places.

هَوُ نَصَّاصُ الأَنْفِ He is one who moves about his nose [much] by reason of anger. (Ibn-'Abbád, K.) حَيَّةٌ نَصْنَاصٌ A serpent that moves about much. (K.) [See also نَضْنَاضٌ.]

أَنَصُّ [a comparative and superlative epithet from نَصَّ الحَدِيثَ, q. v.]. 'Amr Ibn-Deenár said, مَا رَأَيْتُ رَجُلًا أَنَصَّ لِلْحَدِيثِ مِنَ الزُّهْرِىِّ I have not seen a man more skilled in tracing up, or ascribing, or attributing, a tradition to its author, in the manner explained above, (voce نَصَّ,) than Ez-Zuhree; i. q. أَرْفَعَ لَهُ and أَسْنَدَ. (TA.) مَنَصَّةٌ: see what next follows, throughout.

مِنَصَّةٌ, (S, M, A, Msb, K,) or ↓ مَنَصَّةٌ, (Mgh,) The thing upon which a bride is raised (S, * A, K) and seated, (Mgh,) or shown or displayed, (M,) or upon which she stands (تقف [but this is probably a mistake for تَقْعُدُ, i. e. sits,]) when displayed to the bridegroom, (Msb,) in order that she may be seen (M, Mgh) [and distinguished] from among the women; (Mgh;) being a chair, (Mgh, Msb, TA,) or couch; (TA;) or consisting of pieces of cloth raised, and carpets laid smoothly for a seat: (M:) written with kesr (Msb, K) as being an instrument, (Msb,) or with fet-h [as being a place]: (Mgh:) accord. to some authorities, مِنَصَّةٌ and مَنَصَّةٌ seem to signify the same thing: (TA:) or the latter is the حَجَلَة [i. e. a kind of curtained canopy] (K, TA) over the مِنَصَّة: (TA:) from نَصَّ المَتَاعَ, q. v. (K.) It is said in a proverb, وُضِعَ فُلَانٌ عَلَى المِنَصَّةِ (assumed tropical:) Such a one was exposed to disgrace and infamy: (TA:) or to the utmost disgrace and infamy. (M.)

(التَّاسعُ عَشَرَ: واواتُ الأَبْنِيَةِ كالجَوْرَبِ والتَّوْرَبِ) للتُّرابِ والجَدْوَلِ والحَشْوَرِ وَمَا أَشْبَهَها.
(العِشْرونَ: واوُ الوَقْتِ: وتَقْرُبُ مِن واوِ الحالِ) كَقَوْلِك: (اعْمَلْ وأَنْتَ صَحِيحٌ) ، أَي فِي وقْتِ صحَّتِكَ والآنَ وأَنْتَ فارِغٌ.
(الحادِي والعِشْرونَ: واوُ النِّسْبَةِ: كأَخَوِيَ فِي النِّسْبَةِ إِلَى أَخٍ) ، بفَتْح الهَمْزةِ والخاءِ وكَسْر الواوِ، وَهَكَذَا كانَ يَنْسبُه أَبو عَمْرِو بنُ العَلاءِ، وَكَانَ يَنْسبُ إِلَى الزِّنازِنَوِيٌّ، وَإِلَى أُخْتٍ أُخَوِيٌّ بضمِّ الهَمْزةِ، وَإِلَى ابنِ بَنَوِيٌّ، وَإِلَى عالِيَةِ الحجازِ عُلْوِيٌّ، وَإِلَى عَشِيَّة عَشَوِيٌّ، وَإِلَى أَبٍ أَبَوِيٌّ.

(الثَّالثُ والعِشْرونَ: الواوُ الفارِقَةُ) : وَهِي كلُّ واوٍ دَخَلَتْ فِي أَحَدِ الحَرْفَيْن المُشْتَبَهَيْن تَفْرقُ بَيْنه وبينَ المُشْبَه لَهُ فِي الخَطِّ (كواوِ أُولئِكَ وأُولَى لئَلاَّ يَشْتَبِه بإِلَيْكَ وَإِلَى) ، كَقَوْلِه تَعَالَى: {أُولئِكَ على هُدًى من رَبِّهم} ، وَقَوله تَعَالَى: {غَيْرُ أُولي الضَّرَرِ} زِيدَتْ فيهمَا الواوُ فِي الخَطِّ ليَفْرقَ بَيْنهما وبينَ مَا شَاكَلهما فِي الصُّورَةِ.
(الَّرابعُ والعِشْرونَ: واوُ الهَمْزةِ فِي الخَطِّ) واللّفْظِ، فأَمَّا الخَطّ (كهذهِ نِساؤُكَ وشاؤُكَ) صُوِّرَتِ الهَمْزةُ واواً لضمَّتها، (و) أَمَّا (فِي اللَّفْظِ: كحَمْراوانِ وسَوْداوانِ) وَمثل قَوْلك: أُعِيذُ بأَسْماواتِ اللهاِ وأَبْناواتِ سَعْدٍ، وَمثل السَّمواتِ وَمَا أَشْبَهها.
(الخامسُ والعِشْرونَ: والنِّداءِ والنُّدْبةِ) ، الأوَّل كوازَيْد، وَالثَّانِي كواغُرْبَتاهْ، وَقد تقدَّمَ. وَفِي التكملةِ: وَهِي غَيْرُ واوُ النُّدْبة. فتأَمَّل.
(السَّادسُ والعِشْرون: واوِ الحالِ) ، كَقَوْلِك: (أَتَيْتُه والشمسُ طالِعَةٌ) ، أَي فِي حالِ طُلوعِها، وَمِنْه قَوْله تَعَالَى: {إِذْ نادَى وَهُوَ مَكْظُومٌ} ، ومَثَّل الجَوْهرِي لواوِ الحالِ بقولِهم: قُمْتُ وأَصُكّ وَجْهَه، أَي قُمْتُ صاكًّا وَجْهَه، وكقولهم: قُمْتُ والناسُ قُعُودٌ.
(السَّابعُ والعِشْرونَ: واوُ الصَّرْفِ) : قَالَ الفرَّاء: (وَهُوَ أَنْ تأْتي الواوُ مَعْطوفَةً على كَلامٍ فِي أَوَّلهِ حادِثَةٌ لَا تَسْتَقيمُ إعادتُها على مَا عُطِفَ عَلَيْهَا كقولهِ) ، أَي الشاعرِ، وَهُوَ المُتَوكِّلُ اللَّيْثي:
(لَا تَنْهَ عَن خُلُقٍ وتأْتيَ مِثْلَهُ (عارٌ عَلَيْك إِذا فَعَلْتَ عَظِيمُ (فإنَّه لَا يجوزُ إعادَةُ: وتَأْتي مِثْلَه على تَنْهَ) ؛ هَكَذَا فِي النسخِ، ونَصّ الفرّاء أَلا تَرَى أَنَّه لَا يجوزُ إعادَةُ (لَا) على (وتَأْتي مِثْلَه) ، فلذلكَ (سُمِّيَ صَرْفاً إِذْ كَانَ مَعْطوفاً وَلم يَسْتَقِمْ أَن يُعادَ فِيهِ الحادِثُ الَّذِي فِيمَا قَبْلَهُ) .
وممَّا يُسْتدركُ عَلَيْهِ:
واوُ الإعْرابِ: كَمَا فِي الأسْماءِ السِّتَّةِ.
وبمعْنَى إِذْ نَحْو: لَقِيتُكَ وأَنْتَ شابٌّ، أَي إِذْ أَنتَ، وَعَلِيهِ حملَ قَوْله تَعَالَى: {وطائِفَة قد أَهَمَّتْهم} ، أَي إِذْ طائِفَة.
وللتَّفْصِيل: كَقَوْلِه تَعَالَى: {ومِنْكَ ومِن نُوح} ، {ونَخْلٍ ورُمَّانٍ} .
وتَدْخُلُ عَلَيْهَا أَلِفُ الاسْتِفْهامِ: كَقَوْلِه تَعَالَى: {أَو عَجِبْتُم أَنْ جاءَكُم ذِكْرٌ مِن رَبِّكم} ، كَمَا نقولُ أَفَعَجِبْتم؛ نقلَهُ الجَوْهرِي؛ وكذلكَ قولهُ تَعَالَى: {أَو لم يَنْظُرُوا} ، {أَوَ لم يَسِيرُوا} .
وللتِّكْرار: كَقَوْلِه تَعَالَى: {حافِظُوا على الصَّلواتِ والصَّلاةِ الوُسْطَى} .
وَمِنْهَا الواواتُ الَّتِي تدخُلُ فِي الأجْوبةِ فتكونُ جَواباً مَعَ الجَوابِ وَلَو حُذِفَتْ كانَ الجَوابُ مُكْتَفِياً بنَفْسِه؛ أنْشَدَ الفرَّاء:
حَتَّى إِذا قَلَتْ بُطُونَكُمُ
ورَأَيْتُمُ أَبْناءَكُم شَبُّواوقَلَبْتُمُ ظَهْرَ المِجَنِّ لَنا
إنَّ اللَّئِيمَ العاجِزُ الخَبُّأَرادَ: قَلَبْتُم. ومِثْلُه فِي الكَلامِ: لمَّا أَتانِي وأَثِبُ عَلَيْهِ، كأنَّه قَالَ: وَثَبْتُ عَلَيْهِ، وَهَذَا لَا يجوزُ إلاَّ مَعَ لمَّا وَحَتَّى إِذا.
وَمِنْهَا الواوُ الدائِمَةُ: وَهِي كلُّ واوٍ تلابسُ الجزاءَ ومَعْناها الدَّوامُ كَقَوْلِك: زُرْني وأَزُورَكَ وأَزُورُكَ، بالنَّصْبِ والرَّفْع، فالنَّصْبُ على المُجازاةِ، ومَنْ رَفَعَ فمعْناهُ زِيارَتَكَ عليَّ واجبةٌ أُدِيمُها لكَ على كلِّ حالٍ.

(Az.) رُبْعٌ (S, Mgh, Msb, K) and ↓ رُبُعٌ, (S, Msb, K,) the former a contraction of the latter, (Msb,) [which is the more chaste, but the former is the more common,] A fourth part; (S, Msb, K;) one of four parts; (Mgh;;) as also ↓ رَبِيعٌ, (Msb, K,) like عَشِيرٌ; (TA;) and ↓ مِرْبَاعٌ, like مِعْشَارٌ: (Ktr, and S:) or the last signifies, (Msb, K,) or signifies also, (S,) the fourth part of the spoil, which the chief used to take (S, Msb, K) in the Time of Ignorance: (K:) the pl. of رُبْعٌ and ↓ رُبُعٌ is أَرْبَاعٌ [a pl. of pauc.] (Msb, TA) and رُبُوعٌ [a pl. of mult]: (TA:) and that of ↓ رَبِيعٌ is رُبُعٌ (K.) b2: الرُّبْعُ الهَاشِمِىُّ The same as the صَاع; because the قَفِيز is twelve times what is termed مَنّ: but الرُّبْعُ الحَجَّاجِىُّ is the same as the مُدّ, which is a quarter of what is termed الصَّاعُ الحَجَّاجِىُّ.

(TA.) b2: [Also, for سَيْرُ رِبْعٍ, A journey in which the camels are watered only on the first and fourth days.] b3: [In like manner,] with respect to fever, it signifies The seizing on one day and leaving two days and then coming again on the fourth day [counting the day of the next preceding fit as the first]. (S, K.) [The fever is termed] حُمَّى الرِّبْعِ [The quartan fever;] the fever that occurs on one day and intermits two days and then comes again on the fourth, and so on. (Msb.)

رِبَاعٌ [a pl. of mult.] and أَرْبَاعٌ [a pl. of pauc.]; (S, Msb, K;) both irreg.; for accord. to the rule given by Sb, the pl. should be رِبْعَانٌ [like صرْدَانٌ pl. of صَرَدٌ]: (TA:) pl. fem. رُبَعَاتٌ (S, Msb, K, TA [in the CK, erroneously, رَبْعاتٌ]) and رِبَاعٌ. (K.) Hence the saying, مَا لَهُ هُبَعٌ وَلَا رُبَعٌ He has not a young camel brought forth in the end of the breeding-time nor one brought forth in the beginning thereof. (S, TA.) [See another ex. voce بُلَعٌ.] b2: [Hence, also,] الرُّبَعِ (assumed tropical:) A very small star in the midst of the عَوَائِذ, which are in the head of التِّنِّين [or Draco].

رَبَاعٌ: see an ex. in the phrase هُمْ عَلَى رَبَاعِهِمْ, voce رِبْعَةٌ.

A2: رَبَاعٍ, (S, Msb, K,) like ثَمَانٍ (S, K) and يَمَانٍ [in the CK ثَمَانٌ and ثَمَانٍ] and شَنَاحٍ and [pls. like] جَوَارٍ, which are the only words of this form, (K,) and رَبَاعٌ, (Kr, K,) accus. of the former رَبَاعِيًا, (S, Msb, K,) and fem. رَبَاعِيَةٌ, (S, K,) Shedding its tooth called the رَبَاعِيَة, q. v.; applied to the sheep or goat in the fourth year, and to the bull and cow and the solid-hoofed animal in the fifth year, and to the camel in the seventh year: (S, Msb, K:) [see 4:] pl. [of pauc.] أَرْبَاعٌ (Az, K) and [of mult.] رُبُعٌ (Az, S, Msb, K) and رُبْعٌ, (Th, Az, K,) but the former is the more common, (Az,) and رُبَعٌ (IAar, K) and رِبْعَانٌ (S, Msb, K) and رِبَاعٌ and رَبَاعِيَاتٌ. (K.) You say, رَكِبْتُ بِرْذَوْنًا رَبَاعِيًا [I rode a hackney shedding his رَبَاعِيَة, or in his fifth year]. (S, Msb, K.) b2: Hence, حَرْبٌ رَبَاعِيَةٌ (assumed tropical:) Vehement and youthful war. (TA.) رُبَاعُ [Four and four: four and four together: or four at a time and four at a time:] is a deviation from the original form, (S, K,) or أَرْبَعَةٌ أَرْبَعَةٌ; for which reason, [and, accord. to general opinion, because it is at the same time an epithet, (see ثُلَاثُ,)] it is imperfectly decl.: (K:) but the dim. is ↓ رُبَيِّعٌ, perfectly decl. (S voce ثُلَاثُ, q. v.) [See exs. voce ثُلَاثُ.] In the Kur iv. 3, El-Aamash read ↓ وَرُبَعَ instead of وَرُبَاعَ. (IJ, K.) رَبُوعٌ A she-camel that yields four أَقْدَاح [pl. of قَدَحٌ] of milk. (IAar.) A2: See also الأَرْبِعَآءُ.

رَبِيعٌ: see رُبْعٌ, in two places.

A2: It has also a twofold application; to months and to seasons: and it has a twofold application to months; denoting Two months, (S, Msb, K,) [next] after صَفَرٌ; (S, K;) and they say, (Msb,) one should only say, in speaking of them, شَهْرُ رَبِيعٍ الأَوَّلُ and شَهْرُ رَبِيعٍ الآخِرٌ; (S, Msb, K;) [but in the margin of the copy of the S which I have here followed, I find it stated that in the handwriting of the author the former is شهر ربيعِ الاول (with a single kesreh, and with no syll. sign to الاول); and in another copy of the S I find شهرُ ربيع الاولِ and شَهرُ رَبيع الآخِر;] with the addition of شهر: but it is allowable to say also شَهْرُ رَبِيعِ الأَوَّلِ and شَهْرُ رَبِيعِ الآخِرِ: the word شهر is necessarily added in order to discriminate between the months thus called and the season called ربيع: Az says, the Arabs mention all the months without the word شهر except the two months of ربيع and the month of رَمَضَان: and they say also شَهْرَا رَبِيعٍ and أَشْهُرُ رَبِيعٍ and شُهُورُ رَبِيعٍ: (Msb:) these months were thus called because, when they received this name, they occurred in the season when the earth produced herbage. (Msb in art. جمد.) It has a twofold application also to seasons; الرَّبِيعُ الأَوَّلُ being The season in which the truffles and the blossoms come, (S, Msb, K,) and this is [also called] رَبِيعُ الكَلَأِ [the rabeea of the herbage, properly called the spring of Arabia]; (S;) and الرَّبِيعُ الثَّانِى The season in which fruits ripen; (S, Msb, K;) [also called رَبِيعُ الثِّمَارِ;] but some people call this الرَّبِيعُ الأَوَّلُ; (S, TA;) and the season which follows the winter, and in which the truffles and the blossoms come, they call الرَّبِيعُ الثَّانِى; but all of them agree that the خَرِيف [or autumn] is called الرَّبِيعُ: AHn says, the two divisions of the winter [by which he means the half-year commencing at the autumnal equinox] are called رَبِيعَانِ; the former being رَبِيعُ المَآءِ وَالأَمْطَار ِ [the rabeea of the water and the rains, in which the rain called الوَسْمِىّ, which is termed the first of the rains, commences]; and the second being رَبِيعُ النَّبَاتِ [or رَبِيعُ الكَلَأِ the rabeea of the herbage], because the herbage therein attains to its last stage: and he adds, that رَبِيعٌ is applied by the Arabs to the whole winter, [meaning, again, the half-year commencing at the autumnal equinox,] because of the moisture, or rain: (TA:) or the year consists of six seasons; (so in the K; but in the S, “and I heard Abu-l-Ghowth say, the Arabs make the year to be six seasons; ”) two months thereof are called الرَّبِيعُ الأَوَّلُ; and two months, صَيْفٌ; and two months, قَيْظٌ; (S, K;) and two months, ربيع الثانى, (so in a copy of the S,) or رَبِيعٌ الثّانى, (so in another copy of the S, [but in the margin of this latter, I find it stated that in the handwriting of the author it is ربيعُ الثانى, without tenween,]) or الرَّبِيعُ الثَّانِى; (K;) and two months, خَرِيفٌ; and two months, شِتَآءٌ. (S, K.) Az relates, with respect to the seasons and divisions of the year, on the authority of Aboo-Yahyà Ibn-Kibáseh, who possessed very great knowledge thereof, that the year consists of four seasons; namely, الرَّبِيعُ الأَوَّلُ, which the vulgar call الخَرِيفُ [The autumn]; then الشِّتَآءُ [the winter]; then الصَّيْفُ, which is الرَّبِيعُ الآخِرُ [or الثَّانِى, i. e. the spring]; then القَيْظُ [the summer, or hot season]: all this is what the Arabs in the desert say: the ربيع which is with the Persians the خريف, he says, commences on the third of أَيْلُول [September O. S.]; and the شِتَآء, on the third of كَانُون الأَوَّل [December O. S.]; and the صيف which is with the Persians the ربيع. on the fifth of آذَار [March O. S.]; and the قيظ which is with the Persians the صيف, on the fourth of حَزِيرَان [June O. S.]: and Aboo-Yahyà adds, the ربيع of the people of El-' Irák agrees with the ربيع of the Persians, which is after the شتاء [or winter], and which is the season of the flowers, or roses, and is the most temperate of the seasons: the people of El-' Irák, he says, have rain in all the winter, and have abundance of herbage in the خريف, which the Arabs call الربيع الاوّل: and Az says, the quarter of the خريف is called خريف because the fruits are gathered therein; and the Arabs call it ربيع because the first rain [which is called الوَسْمِىّ] falls therein. (TA.) The pl. of ربيع is أَرْبِعَةٌ [a pl. of pauc.] and أَرْبِعَآءُ [a pl. of mult.] (S, Msb, K) and رِبَاعٌ; (AHn, K;) or the first of these is pl. of ربيع الكلأ (Fr, Yaakoob, S, Msb, K) and of the ربيع of the months; (Fr, Msb;) but the second is pl. of ربيع in the sense of جَدْوَلٌ, to be explained below. (Fr, Yaakoob, S, Msb, K.) Hence the phrase in a supplication, mentioned in a trad., اَللّٰهُمَّ اجْعَلِ القُرْآنَ رَبِيعَ قَلْبِى [O God, make Thou the Kur-án to be the life, or ease, of my heart]; because the heart of man becomes lively, or at ease, in the season called رَبِيع. (TA.) Hence also, (TA,) أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ The هُدْهُد [or hoopoe]; (K;) because it appears with the [season called] ربيع. (TA.) [See also, respecting the seasons &c., the word زَمَنٌ.] b2: Also The rain in the [season called] رَبيع [as meaning the half-year commencing at the autumnal equinox, (which includes what is really the spring of Arabia, called “ the rabeea of the herbage,”) accord. to a statement of AHn cited above, and accord. to what is stated on the authority of Az voce نَوْءٌ]: (S, K:) or [only, accord. to some,] the rain which is after the وَسْمِىّ, and after which is [that called] the صَيْف, and then the حَمِيم: or, accord. to AHn, rain whenever it comes: Az says, I have heard the Arabs call thus the first rain falling upon the earth in the days of the خَرِيف [or autumn]: (TA:) the pl. [of pauc.] is أَرْبِعَةٌ and [of mult.] رِبَاعٌ. (AHn, TA.) [See also, respecting the rains, the word زَمَنٌ.] b3: Also Herbage; green herbage which the beasts eat; (TA;) [properly] the herbage that is produced by the first rain in the quarter which is called the رَبِيع, and which is commonly called the خَرِيف [or autumn], (Msb in art. زمن,) [continuing its growth during the winter-quarter, which is also called the رَبِيع, and which includes, as stated above, what is really the spring of Arabia, called “ the rabeea of the herbage,” wherein, as AHn says, the herbage attains to its last stage: it seems generally to mean the spring-herbage, which is earlier or later in different latitudes:] pl. أَرِْبعَةٌ. (TA.) [Hence,] a poet says, يَدَاكَ يَدٌ رَبِيعُ النَّاسِ فِيهَا وَفِى الأُخْرَى الشُّهُورُ مِنَ الحَرَامِ meaning (assumed tropical:) [Thy two hands are such that] one hand has in it the means of the plentiful subsistence of mankind, [and in the other are the sacred months, i. e.] in the other is [that which causes] security, and safeguard, and the preservation of what is to be regarded as sacred and inviolable. (TA.) [Compare Proverbs iii. 16.] b4: Also (assumed tropical:) A rivulet, or streamlet; (Msb, K;) i. q. جَدْوَلٌ: (S, Msb, K:) or i. q. نَهْرٌ: (Mgh:) or نَهْرٌ صَغِيرٌ: (Har p. 402:) (tropical:) a rivulet, or streamlet, that runs to palmtrees: and رَبِيعُ السَّاقِى, a subst prefixed to its epithet, occurring in a trad., (assumed tropical:) the river [or rivulet] that waters seed-produce: (TA:) pl. أَرْبِعَآءُ (Fr, Yaakoob, S, Msb, K) and رِبْعَانٌ. (TA.) A poet says, describing one drinking much, فُوهُ رَبِيعٌ وَكَفُّهُ قَدَحٌ (assumed tropical:) His mouth is a river [and his hand is a bowl]. (TA.) b5: Also A share, or portion, of water for [irrigating] land, (IDrd, K, TA,) whatever it be: or, as some say, a share, or portion, thereof for the quarter of a day or night; but this is not of valid authority. (TA.) You say, لِفُلَانٍ مِنْ هٰذَا المَآءِ رَبِيعٌ, (K, TA,) or, as in some copies of the K, فِى, instead of مِنْ, i. e. To such a one belongs a share, or portion, of this water [for irrigating land]. (TA.) b6: The dim. of رَبِيعٌ is ↓ رُبَيِّعٌ. (Msb.) رُبَيِّعٌ: see رُبَاعٌ: A2: and see also رَبِيعٌ, last sentence.

رَبَاعَةٌ: see رِبْعَةٌ, in two places.

رِبَاعَةٌ: see رِبْعَةٌ, in four places. b2: It also signifies A kind of حَمَالَة [meaning obligation, or responsibility, that must be discharged, or performed, taken upon himself by a person for others; and here, particularly, such as is taken upon himself by the head, or chief, of a people]. (S, K.) You say, هُوَ عَلَى رِبَاعَةِ قَوْمِهِ, [properly He is over the affairs of his people, as indicated above, voce رِبْعَةٌ, last sentence,] meaning He is the head, or chief, of his people. (TA.) Abu-l- Kásim El-Isbahánee says, رِبَاعَةٌ is metaphorically used to signify (tropical:) The being a head, or chief; or the office of head, or chief; in consideration of the taking of the مِرْبَاع [or fourth part of the spoil, which was the share of the chief]: and hence one says, لَايُقِيمُ رِبَاعَةَ القَوْمِ غَيْرُ فُلَانٍ (tropical:) [None will act vigorously in the office of head, or chief, of the people, except such a one]. (TA.) رَبِيعَةٌ A stone that is raised, or lifted, (S, K, TA,) for trial of strength: (K, TA:) applied only to a stone. (Az, TA.) A2: A helmet of iron. (Lth, S, K.)

نَابَانِ, and [two called] ضَاحِكَانِ, and six أَرْحَآء, on each side [three], and [two teeth called]

A2: رَبِيعٌ رَابِعٌ A fruitful, or plentiful, ربيع [meaning the season so called]. (ISk, K.) b2: One does not say يَوْمٌ رَابِعٌ like as one says يَوْمٌ قَائِظٌ &c., because there is no corresponding verb, like قَاظَ, &c., for such a verb would have no meaning of heat nor of cold. (IB.) A3: هُوَ رَابِعٌ عَلَى حَالِهِ He is abiding, or continuing, in his state, or condition. (TA.) أَرْبَعٌ: see أَرْبَعَةٌ.

[because he meant thereby يَوْمُ الأَرْبِعَآءُ]; but Abu-l-Jarráh used to say, مَضَتِ الأَرْبِعَآءُ بِمَا فِيهِنَّ, making it fem. and pl., and employing it like a n. of number: (Lh:) Th is related to have mentioned أَرَابِيعُ as a pl. of الأَرْبِعَآءُ; but ISd says, I am not sure of this.
