1 فَخَذَهُ, (
S,
O,
L,
K,)
aor. ـَ (
TA, and so
accord. to some copies of the
K, in which the verb is said to be like مَنَعَهُ,) or ـِ (so in other copies of the
K,)
inf. n. فَخْذٌ, (
L,) He hit, or hurt, his (another's) thigh: (
S,
L,
K:) or he broke his thigh: like as one says رَأَسَهُ and رَجَلَهُ. (
O.) And فُخِذَ He was hit, or hurt, in his thigh: (
M,
L,
K:) or his thigh was broken. (
A.) 2 فَخَّذَ see 5, in two places.
b2: فخّذ عَشِيرَتَهُ (assumed
tropical:) He called his عشيرة [or kinsfolk] فَخِذ by فَخِذ [i. e. one small body of families after another], (
S,
Mgh, *
O,
L,
K, *)
inf. n. تَفْخِيذٌ: (
TA:) from a
trad. (
S,
O,
L.)
b3: And فَخَّذَهُمْ,
inf. n. as above; (
K;) or فخّذ بَيْنَهُمْ; (
L;) (assumed
tropical:) He dispersed them, and abstained from aiding them;
syn. فَرَّقَهُمْ وَخَذَلَهُمْ: (

L) فخّذهم (
O,
L,
Msb) عَنْ فُلَانٍ, (
O,
L,)
inf. n. as above, (
O,
L,
Msb,) signifies خذلهم, (
L,
Msb, [in both written without any of the
syll. signs,]) or خذّلهم عَنْهُ [which is evidently the right reading (i. e. he induced them to abstain from aiding such a one), and I believe it to be the right reading also in the explanation given immediately before from the
L and
K]: (
O:) and فخّذ بَيْنَهُمْ he dispersed them. (
O,
Msb.) 3 فَاْخَذَ see the next paragraph, in two places.
5 تفخّذ المَرْأَةَ He (a man,
Msb) sat between the thighs of the woman (
Mgh,
Msb) as he sits who performs [or is about to perform] the act of coïtus; as also ↓ فاخذها, [
inf. n. مُفَاخَذَةٌ;] and ↓ فخّذها,
inf. n. تَفْخِيذٌ: (
Msb:) or he sat above the thighs of the woman: (

L.)
A2: And تفخّذ He retired, or held back, (
O,
K,) عَنِ الأَمْرِ from the affair. (

i. q. اِسْتَخْذَى, (
Fr,
O,
K,
TA,) i. e. He was, or became, lowly, humble, or submissive; and so اِسْتَخْذَأَ. (
TA in arts. خذى and خذأ.) فَخِذٌ and فَخْذٌ (
S,
O,
L,
Msb,
K) and فِخْذٌ (
S,
O,
L,
K) and فِخِذٌ, (
L,
TA,) as Ez-Zarkashee says in his
Expos. of El-Bukháree, (
TA,) for in the case of every faucial medial radical of a word of the measure فَعِل, whether a noun like فَخِذٌ or a verb like شَهِدَ, there are four
dial. vars., namely, فَعِل and فَعْل and فِعْل and فِعِل; (
Seer,
O,
TA;) thus it is said in the Tes-heel of Ibn-
Málik; and
MF says that the first three forms are common to every word of the measure of كَتِف though without a faucial letter; (
TA;) The thigh; i. e. the limb (وصل [i. e. وُِصْل, but in the O written وَصْل,]) between the سَاق and the وَرِك; (
Mgh, *
O,
L,
K; *) so says
Lth; (O;) and in this sense, the first of the forms above mentioned is the most chaste: (
MF:) it is of the
fem. gender: (
Mgh,
O,
L,
Msb,
K:)
pl. أَفْخَاذٌ, (
Sb,
L,
Msb,
K,) the only
pl. form. (
Sb,
L.)
b2: Also (
tropical:) A small sub-tribe, or portion of the tribe, consisting of the nearest of the kinsfolk of a man; (
Kh,
A, *
O,
L,
K; *) less than a بَطْن; the first [i. e. largest] body being the شَعْب, then the قَبِيلَة, then the فَصِيلَة, then the عِمَارَة, then the بَطْن, and then the فَخِْذ: (
S,
O,
L:) or it is below the قَبِيلَة but above the بَطْن; and is pronounced with the خ quiescent: (
IDrd, O:) or below the فَصِيلَة but above the بَطْن: (
Msb:) or below the بَطْن and above the فَصِيلَة: (
Mgh,
Msb:) this last,
accord. to
IB and Aboo-Usámeh, is the true order; (
TA voce شعب,
q. v.;) and
AM says that the فَصِيلَة is nearer than the فخذ: (
L:) in this sense, the second of the forms above mentioned is the most chaste: (
MF:) and in this sense it is of the
masc. gender; (
A,
Mgh,
O,
Msb;) because meaning نَفَرٌ; (
Msb;) wherefore you say, هٰذَا فَخْذِى: (
A:)
pl. as above. (
A,
O,
L,
K.)
b3: حُلِبَتِ النَّاقَةُ فِى فَخِذِهَا is a phrase mentioned by
Fr, meaning (assumed
tropical:) [The she-camel was milked] in her half-month [
app. at the period commencing half a month after her parturition]. (
O.) فَخْذَآءُ A woman that holds a man firmly between her thighs, (
Msb,
K,
TA,) by reason of her strength. (
TA.) مَفْخُوذٌ A man hit, or hurt, in his thigh: (
M,
L:) or whose thigh is broken. (
A.)
