S,) i. e. certain streaks of an arched form appearing in the sky in the days of the [season called] رَبِيع, after rain, red and yellow and green, (
TA,) is imperfectly
decl. [
accord. to general usage], (
S,) [that is to say,] it is a compound of two words whereof the latter is inseparable from the former, so that one may not say تَأَمَّلْ قُزَحَ فَمَا أَبْيَنَ قَوْسَهُ [Consider thou Kuzah, for how plain is his bow!], (
TA,) and the latter word is said to be the name of a certain devil, as such, imperfectly
decl., (
TA,
Msb,) assigned to the same class as زُحَل, which, as
Mbr says, is imperfectly
decl. as being a proper name and deviating from its original form: (
TA:) it is said in a
trad., Say not ye قَوْسُ قُزَحَ, for قُزَحُ is the name of a devil, but say قَوْسُ اللّٰهِ: (

SM remarks upon this last saying as being very strange, deemed improbable by his sheykh (
MF), and not found by himself in any book except the
K:]) or قُزَحُ is the name of a mountain in El-Muzdelifeh, and the word قَوْس was prefixed to it because this was the first place over which the قوس thus called appeared in the Time of Ignorance: (
TA:) or قُزَح thus used is from قُزْحَةٌ, (
Msb,
K,
TA,) of which قُزَحٌ is
pl., (
Msb,) and which signifies a streak of yellow and of red and of green, (
Msb,
K,
TA,) which are the colours that are in the [said] قوس; (
TA;) and if so, it is perfectly
decl. [i. e. one says قَوْسُ قُزَحٍ]: (
Msb:) or it is from قَزَحَ signifying it was, or became, high, or elevated: (
K,
TA:)
Dmr strangely asserts that قوس قزح is a mistake, and that it is correctly قَوْسُ قَزَعٍ, from قَزَعٌ signifying “ clouds. ” (

K.) مَلِيحٌ قَزِيحٌ [Seasoned with salt and with the seeds called قِزْح;] two epithets applied to food: (
A:)
accord. to the
K, the latter is an
imitative sequent: but, correctly, each has its own proper meaning: as is said in the

TA.) قَزَّاحٌ One who sells the seeds called قِزْح, that are used in cooking, for seasoning food. (

K,
TA,) that divides into several divisions, (
K, *
TA,) like the paw of the dog: (
K,
TA:) a
subst. like تَمْتِينٌ and تَنْبِيتٌ. (
TA.) تَقَازِيحُ (a
pl. that has no
sing.,
TA): see قِزْح.
مِقْزَحَةٌ, (
S,
K,) and
accord. to some مَقْزَحَةٌ also is allowable, (
MF,) [A vessel, or other receptacle, for the kind of seeds called قِزْح, that are used in cooking, for seasoning food;] a thing like a مِمْلَحَة. (
S,
K.) مُقَزَّحٌ A species of trees (شَجَرٌ) resembling the fig, (

IAar. (
Mgh.) الشَّجَرَهُ المُقَزَّحَةُ, behind which it is forbidden, in a
trad., to perform prayer, (
TA,) or the performing of prayer towards which is said in a
trad. to be disapproved, is said to be A tree of the sort abovementioned: so says
Az: (
Mgh:) or, as some say, a tree that branches forth into many branches: (
TA: [see 5:]) or a tree at which the dogs and the beasts of prey have emitted their urine may be meant thereby. (
Mgh,
TA.)
