عرجن
Q. 1 عَرْجَنَهُ He struck him, or beat him, with an عُرْجُون [
q. v.]. (
S,
K.) And عَرْجَنَهُ بِالعَصَا He struck him, or beat him, with the staff, or stick. (
TA.)
b2: And He figured it (i. e. a garment, or piece of cloth,) with the forms of عَرَاجِين,
pl. of عُرْجُونٌ. (
K.)
b3: And He smeared, or rubbed over, him, or it, with blood, or with saffron, or with خِضَاب [i. e. hinnà, or the like]. (
K.) عُرْجُونٌ A raceme of a palm-tree, or of dates;
syn. عِذْقٌ: or, when it has become dry and curved: (
K:) or the base, or lower part, (أَصْل,
S,
K, and also A and
Mgh and
Msb in art. عرج [because the ن is therein regarded as augmentative],) of the عِذْق (
S,
K) or كِبَاسَة [which signifies the same as عِذْق], (
A,
Mgh,
Msb,) which curves, and from which the fruit-stalks are cut off, and which then remains upon the palm-tree, dry: (
S:) or the عُود [meaning main stem] of the كِبَاسَة: (
Th,
K:)
Az says, it is yellow and broad: [but it is the contrary of broad in comparison with its length:] and in the
Kur xxxvi. 39, the moon when it has become slender [in appearance, towards the end of the lunar month,] is likened to the old عُرْجُون, in respect, as
ISd says, of its slenderness and curvature: (
TA:) [in the
TA voce سُبَاطَةٌ, the
pl. عَرَاجِينُ is strangely used as meaning the fruit-stalks of the raceme of a palmtree:] بَنَاتُ عُرْجُونٍ signifies the fruit-stalks of a raceme of dates: (
T in art. بنى:) [it is said that] the ن of عُرْجُونٌ, though this word imports the meaning of اِنْعِرَاجٌ [or “ a state of bending ”], is shown to be radical by the word مُعَرْجَنٌ, occurring in a verse of Ru-beh, and also by the fact that there is no verb of the measure فَعْلَنَ. (
TA. [But عَشْرَنَ and سَبْعَنَ, though these are said to be
post-classical, and,
accord. to some, عَلْوَنَ, may be mentioned, and perhaps some other, as being of this measure.])
b2: Also A certain plant, (
K,
TA,) white,
accord. to
Th, (
TA,) like the فُطْر [or toadstool], resembling the فِقْع [a white and soft sort of كَمْء], (
K,
TA,) which dries, having a round form: or a species of the كَمْأَة, of the measure of a span, or a little less than that; good, or pleasant, while fresh: (
TA:)
pl. عَرَاجِينُ. (
K.) مُعَرْجَنٌ, occurring in a verse of Ru-beh, (
TA,) A garment, or piece of cloth, in which are [figured] the forms of عَرَاجِين [
pl. of عُرْجُونٌ]. (A and
TA in art. عرج.)
