M,
Mgh,
K,) and يَئِفُّ, (

analogy, (
TA,) [but the former, though irregular, is the more common,]
inf. n. أَفٌّ; (

K,) by reason of anxiety, or disquietude of mind, or by reason of vexation, distress of mind, or disgust: (
IDrd,
M,
K:) held by
Sb to be of the same class as سَبَّحَ and هَلَّلَ meaning “ he said سُبْحَانَ اللّٰهِ ” and “ he said لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللّٰهُ. ” (
M.) Yousay also, ↓ أَفَّفَهُ, and بِهِ ↓ أَفَّفَ, and بِهِ ↓ تَأَفَّفَ, meaning He said to him أُفِّ. (
M.) And جَعَلَ مِنْ رِيحٍ وَجَدَهَا ↓ فُلَانٌ يَتَأَفَّفُ Such a one began to say أُفِّ أُفِّ by reason of a smell which he perceived. (
T.) And عَلَيْهِ ↓ إِنَّهُ يَتَأَفَّفُ Verily he is angry with him, or enraged against him. (

imitative sequent: (
S:) or أُفٌّ signifies the dirt of the ear; and تُفٌّ, the dirt of the nails; (
As,
T,
M,
K; but in the last, of the nail;) the phrases mentioned above being used on the occasion of deeming a thing dirty or filthy, and afterwards on the occasion of experiencing annoyance or disgust at anything; (
As,
T,
M,*
TA;) and ↓ أَفَفٌ, also, has the former of these two meanings: (

M;) or the dirt of the nail; (
K;) and تُفٌّ, the dirt in the nail: (

TA:) or the former signifies stink: (
Zj,
TA:) or paucity; (
T,
M,
K) as also ↓ أَفَفٌ; (

accord. to different copies of the
K,) [all these forms, making the number (forty) mentioned by the author of the
K, I have drawn from a comparison of three copies of that work, and I believe them to be correct: some other forms are mentioned by
SM as perhaps indicated in the
K; but I see no good reason for this: he then adds,] and ↓ أَفَهْ and ↓ أَفُوهْ and ↓ أَفَّهْ, the last mentioned by
IB on the authority of
IKtt. (
TA.) أُفِّ, [with its variants,] in its primary sense, denotes one's blowing at a thing that falls upon him, such as dust or ashes; or at the place, to remove therefrom what is annoying; therefore people say, at anything that they deem troublesome, or displeasing, or hateful, أُفِّ لَهُ [as though meaning A puff, or blast of breath, to it]: (
KT,
T:) or [rather] it is a word imitative of a sound; [like ugh in English, both in sound and meaning; and in meaning like our interjections foh and faugh;] (
Bd on the
ex. in the
Kur which will be found below, and
TA;) denoting vexation, or distress of mind, or disgust; (
Bd ubi suprà) or denoting contempt: (
TA:) or it is a
verbal noun, meaning I am vexed, or distressed in mind, or disgusted: (
Bd ubi suprà:) or it is an
imperative verbal noun [denoting disgust or abhorrence, like out, and away]: (
IJ,
M:) or he who says أُفَّا لَكَ uses it in the manner of an imprecation, like as one says وَيْلًا لِلْكَافِرِينَ; and he who says أُفٌّ لَكَ puts it in the
nom. case because of the ل, like as one says وَيْلٌ لِلْكَافِرِينَ; and he who says أُفٍّ لَكَ puts it in the
gen. case likening it to words imitative of sounds. (
IAmb.) It is said in the
Kur [xvii. 24], وَلَا تَقُلْ لَهُمَا أُفِّ, (
T,
S,
TA,) or أُفٍّ, (
TA, [in which other readings also are mentioned,]) [And say not thou to them (i. e. to thy father and mother) Ugh, &c.,] meaning, do not thou deem anything of their affairs burdensome, nor be contracted in bosom thereby, nor be rough, or harsh, or coarse, to them: (
KT,
T:) or do not thou say to them anything expressive of the least disgust, when they have become old, but take upon thyself their service; أُفِّ signifying stink. (
