inf. n. رَيْثٌ, (

M,
A,
Mgh,
Msb,
K,) He, or it, was, or became, slow, tardy, dilatory, late, or backward; (

And it appears from the following saying of Maakil Ibn-Khuweylid, لَعَمْرُكَ لَلْيَأْسُ غَيْرُ المُرِيثِ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الطَّمَعِ الكَاذِبِ [By thy life, or by thy religion, assuredly despair that is not slow in its issue is better than hope that gives a false promise, if this be his meaning,] that ↓ اراث may be a
dial. var. of رَاثَ: but the poet may mean [that does not make a man slow, i. e.] غَيْرُ المُرِيثِ المَرْءَ. (

Ks. (

K:) its verb, ريّث, is said of a man or of a horse. (
TK.)
A2: تَرْيِيثٌ is also
syn. with تَلْيِينٌ [The rendering a thing soft, &c.]. (

Msb) or سَاعَةَ فِعْلِهِ (
Mgh) [I granted him a delay during the space of his doing such a thing]. And لَمْ يَلْبَثْ إِلَّا رَيْثَمَا قُلْتُ, i. e. قَدْرَ ذٰلِكَ [He tarried not save during the space that, or as long as, or while, I said such a thing]. (
TA, from a
trad.) And so in the saying, مَا قَعَدَ عِنْدَنَا فُلَانٌ إِلَّا رَيْثَ أَنْ حَدَّثَنَا بِحَدِيثٍ تُمَّ مَرَّ [Such a one sat not with us, or at our abode, save during the space that, or as long as, or while, he related to us a story, or tradition; then he went away]. (

Báhileh says, لَا يُصْعِبُ الأَمْرَ إِلَّا رَيْثَ يَرْكَبُهُ وَ كُلَّ أَمْرٍ سِوَى الفَحْشَآءِ يَأْتَمِرُ [He finds not the affair difficult save while he is embarking in it; and every command but that which exceeds the bounds of rectitude he obeys]: (
