ك

أس كَأْسٌ, (ISk, S, A, Msb, K,) and كَاسٌ, with the ء suppressed, is allowable, (Msb,) and sometimes occurs, (TA,) A drinking-cup: (A, K:) or [a cup of wine; i. e.] a cup containing wine; (S, A, K;) or a cup full of wine: (Msb:) when not containing wine, it is not thus called; (IAar, S, Msb;) being in this case called قَدَحٌ: (TA:) or it has the first and the second of these significations: (TA:) or it signifies wine itself: (As, AHát, Ibn-'Abbád:) or has this signification also: (K:) and is of the fem. gender: (S, A, Msb, K:) pl. [of pauc.] أَكْؤُسٌ and [of mult.] كُؤُوسٌ and كِئَاسٌ, (S, Msb, K,) the last with ء, (TA, [but written without ء in the CK,]) and, accord. to AHn, كِيَاسٌ, without ء, which, if correct, is originally كِوَاسٌ, from كَاسٌ, with the ء changed into ا as representing و, (TA,) and كَاسَاتٌ, (K,) without ء. (TA.) It is used metaphorically in relation to every kind of disagreeable, hateful, or evil, things. Thus you say, سَقَاهُ كَأْسًا مِنَ الذُّلِّ (tropical:) [He gave him to drink a cup of abasement]: and مِنَ الفُرْقَةِ (tropical:) [of separation]: and مِنَ المَوْتِ (tropical:) [of death]: and مِنَ الحُبِّ (tropical:) [of love].

(A.) Az. thinks that it may be derived from كَاصَ فُلَانٌ مِنَ الطَّعَامِ وَالشَّرَابِ, meaning, “ Such a one ate and drank much ”; because ص and س are interchangeable in many words on account of the nearness of their places of utterance. (TA.)

(S.) 2 كَوَّسَ see 1, in three places.4 اكاس البَعِيرَ, (K,) inf. n. إِكَاسَةٌ, (TA,) He made the camel to walk upon three legs, by hamstringing him. (K.) b2: See also 1.5 تَكَوَّسَ see 1.

A2: Hence, A فَرْسَخ [or parasang, or league, in which sense also it is of Persian origin]: because this is the utmost distance at which may be heard the beating of the كوس. (TA.) A3: Also, A triangular piece of wood with which a carpenter measures the squareness of wood. (Lth, A, * K.) It is [in this sense likewise] a Persian word. (TA.)

(K, TA.) اِخْشَوْشِبُوا is thus used in a trad. of 'Omar: (S, TA:) or, as some relate it, the word is [اجشوشبوا,] with ج; or, accord. to some, اخشوشنوا, with خ and ن. (TA.) رَجُلٌ قِشْبٌ خِشْبٌ A man in whom is no good: (S, K:) or with whom is no good: (TA:) [in some copies of the K, خِشْبٌ وَ قِشْبٌ; but this, as is said in the TA, is incorrect:] خِشْبٌ being an imitative sequent to قِشْبٌ. (S, TA.) خَشَبٌ [Wood, such as is used in carpentry and the like; timber;] thick wood: (A, K:) [a coll. gen. n.:] n. un. خَشَبَةٌ [signifying a piece of wood or timber]: (Msb:) the pl. of the latter, (S, Msb, *) or of the former, (K,) is خَشَبٌ, (S, K, [i. e., accord. to the K, the pl. is the same as the sing., but properly speaking, as said above, this is a coll. gen. n.,]) and خُشُبٌ and خُشْبٌ (S, Msb, K) and خُشْبَانٌ, (S, K,) [which last is agreeable with analogy as pl. of خَشَبٌ,] or خُشْبَانٌ is pl. of خُشْبٌ, and خُشْبٌ is pl. of خَشَبَةٌ. (JK.) The hypocrites are described in a trad. as خُشُبٌ بِاللَّيْلِ صُخُبٌ بِالنَّهَارِ Like timbers, or pieces of wood, in the night; [clamorous in the day;] meaning that they pass the night in sleep, without prayer. (TA.) b2: مَالٌ خَشَبٌ (assumed tropical:) Cattle that are lean, or emaciated, syn. هَزْلَى, (K,) in consequence of their feeding upon dry herbage. (TA.) [And it seems that ↓ خَشَبٌ signifies the same: for I find in the TA, and in a copy of the A which I believe to have been used by the author of the TA, mentioned as tropical, مَالٌ خَشَبٌ وَحَطِبٌ جَزْلٌ, app. meaning that مَالٌ خَشِبٌ and حَطِبٌ signify جَزْلٌ; but جَزْلٌ, I think, is here evidently a mistranscription for هَزْلَى; as حَطِبٌ is explained in the S and K as signifying “ very lean or meagre. ”]

خَشِبٌ Rough, or coarse; as also ↓ أَخْشَبُخَشِيبٌ: (K:) the former applied in this sense to a male ostrich: (S:) and both signify anything gross, or big, and rough, or coarse; (A 'Obeyd, S;) as also ↓ خَشِيبٌ: (TA:) and the first, (K,) applied to a man and to a camel, (TA,) tall, and gross, rude, or coarse, with bones uncovered by flesh, and hard, or hardy, and strong; (K, * TA;) as also ↓ خَشِيبٌ and ↓ خَشِيبِىٌّ: (K:) or these three signify, or signify also, dry, or rigid, or tough: (Kr, ISd:) and خَشِبٌ, a man hard, or hardy, strong, and vigorous, in body: (A, TA:) and the same, (JK,) or ↓ خَشِيبٌ, (TA,) a man whose bones are uncovered by flesh, and whose sinews are apparent; (JK, TA;) hard, or hardy, and strong: (JK:) and the last, a gross, big, or coarse, camel: (S, TA:) a camel gross, coarse, or rude, in make, and ugly: (TA:) and a horse thick, or big, in the bones. (Ham p. 207.) See also خَشَبٌ. And see أَخْشَبُ, in two places. b2: Also (assumed tropical:) Life in which one is not dainty, nice, or scrupulous. (K.) خَشْبَةٌ The first filing of a sword, before the polishing. (TA.) خُشْبَانٌ: see أَخْشَبُ.

خُشَابٌ, from the Persian خُوشْ آبْ, [The beverage properly called in Arabic] نَبِيذ. (TA.) خَشِيبٌ and ↓ مَخْشُوبٌ Mixed. (TA.) b2: and the former, (K,) or both, (TA,) Picked out, chosen, or selected: (K, TA:) both words thus having two contr. significations. (TA.) A2: Also the former (S, K) and latter, (K,) A sword polished: (S, K: *) this is [said to be] the prevailing signification: (TA:) or both signify a sharpened sword. (JK, TA.) b2: And the former, (As, S, K,) or both, (JK, A,) A sword of which the forging is commenced; thus [again] having two contr. significations: (S:) or forged, (K, * TA,) or fashioned with the file, but not yet polished: (As, TA:) or newly made: (TA:) or imperfectly, not thoroughly, or not well, wrought; (JK, A;) and thus both words applied to an arrow: (A:) or the former, (S, K,) or both, (TA,) applied to an arrow, (S, K,) and to a bow, (K,) shaped out (S, K) [in a rough manner,] by the first operation, (S, TA,) not yet perfected, or made smooth, or even: (TA:) pl. of the former (accord. to the TA as applied to a bow [but I see no reason for this restriction]) خُشُبٌ and خَشَائِبُ. (K.) لَمْ يُنَقَّحْ ↓ مَخْشُوبٌ [Rough hewn, not yet trimmed,] is a prov., mentioned by Meyd and Z. (MF, TA.) b3: [Hence,] شِعْرٌ خَشِيبٌ and ↓ مَخْشُوبٌ (tropical:) Poetry said, spoken, or uttered, as it has come to the speaker, [unpolished, and unstudied,] without his affecting nicety, or refinement, therein, and without study, or labour.

(A, TA.) b4: See also خَشِيبٌ voce خَشِبٌ, in three places. b5: It also signifies Bad, corrupt, or vile. (K.) خَشِيبَةٌ The natural quality [of the metal] of a sword, (Skr on the verse here following, S, TA,) before the making thereof is completed: (Skr:) or its blade, or iron: (A:) or its edge: or its polish. (JK.) Sakhr says, وَصَارِمٌ أُخْلِصَتْ خَشِيبَتُهُ

أَبْيَضُ مَهْوٌ فِى مَتْنِهِ زُبَدُ And a sharp sword of which the natural quality [of the metal] before the completion of the making thereof has been refined, [white, or a sword,] thin in the two edges or sides, having [in its broad side] diversified marks. (Skr.) خَشِيبِىٌّ: see خَشِبٌ.

خَشَّابَةٌ [a coll. gen. n., of which the n. un. is ↓ خَشَّابٌ,] Sellers of خَشَب [i. e. wood, or timber]. (TA.) b2: Fighters with staves.

A2: Accord. to ElHejeree, خشابة [so in the TA, without any syll. sign,] signifies A slender [implement of the kind called] مطرق [i. e. مِطْرَق, q. v.,] which the polisher, when he has finished the polishing of a sword, passes over it, in consequence of which the scabbard does not alter its state. (TA.) خَاشِبٌ: see مُخْتَشِبٌ.

Also A great mountain: (A:) or a rugged, or rough, and great mountain; (S, K;) and so ↓ جَبَلٌ خَشِبٌ: or such as is not to be ascended: (TA:) an elevated place, rugged, with rough stones: (JK:) a tract of the kind termed قُفّ, rugged and stony: (TA:) pl. أَخَاشِبُ, (A, TA,) because the quality of a subst. is predominant in it: and the fem. خَشْبَآءُ is also sometimes used in the same sense; or as syn. with غَيْضَةٌ [i. e. a thicket, &c.]; but the former meaning is better known: and this [likewise] is thought to be rather a subst. than an epithet, because of the pl., mentioned above: (TA:) and ↓ خُشْبَانٌ [also seems to be a pl. of أَخْشَبُ, or of خَشِبٌ; for it is said that it] signifies rugged, or rough, mountains, neither great nor small: (K:) and rugged ground. (TA in art. ذنب.) خَشْبَآءُ also signifies Hard land or ground; (K, * TA;) land, or ground, in which are stones and pebbles and earth or clay. (IAmb, TA.) And أَرْضٌ

(the latter of which seems to be peculiar to the intrans. verb خَضَبَ) see what follows], He coloured, or tinged, (A, K,) a thing; (S, A, * K; *) or changed it in colour to red, or yellow, &c.; (TA;) and ↓ خضّب signifies the same, [but app. in an intensive sense, or as applying to a number of objects, (see its pass. part. n. voce خَضِيبٌ,)] (K,) inf. n. تَخْضِيبٌ: (TA:) and the former, particularly, he tinged, or dyed, his white hair, (TA,) or the hand, &c., (Msb,) with hinnà: (Msb, TA:) but when a man has dyed his hair with any other dye than hinnà, you say, صَبَغَ شَعَرَهُ: (Msb, TA:) or you say also, خَضَبَ بِالسَّوَادِ [He dyed his hair with black]. (Suh, TA.) When one does not mention the hair (Msb, TA) or the white hair [&c.], (Msb,) he says خَضَبَ, inf. n. خِضَابٌ; (IKtt, Msb;) and ↓ اختضب, (S, IKtt, Msb, TA,) and ↓ تخضّب; (A, TA;) [meaning He dyed his hair, &c.,] with hinnà, (S, IKtt, Msb, TA,) and the like: (S, TA:) and in like manner one says of a woman, خَضَبَتْ, aor. ـِ and ↓ اختضب: (TA:) which last also signifies [particularly] She dyed her hands with hinnà. (T, TS, TA, in art. غمس.) b2: Hence, in a trad., بَكَى حَتَّى خَضَبَ دَمْعُهُ الحَصَى (tropical:) He wept so that his tears wetted the pebbles: or, more probably, so that his tears became red, and dyed the pebbles: (IAth, TA:) [or most probably, so that his tears caused the pebbles to appear of a reddish colour; for such is commonly the case when pebbles are wetted.]

A2: خَضَبَ, aor. ـِ and خَضِبَ, aor. ـَ and خُضِبَ; inf. n. of each خُضُوبٌ; and ↓ اخضوضب; (tropical:) It (a tree) became green. (K, TA.) And خَضَبَ, inf. n. خُضُوبٌ, (assumed tropical:) Its small leaves came forth in the spring, and its twigs lengthened; said of the قَتَاد, at the commencement of its vegetation; and likewise of the عَرْفَج and عَوْسَج; but of no other tree of the kind called عِضَاه: or said also of the عُرْفُط and سَمُر; meaning (assumed tropical:) it dropped its leaves, and became red and yellow: (TA:) and you say also, خَضَبَتِ العِضَاهُ (tropical:) the عضاه became green, and broke forth; (A;) or the sap of the عضاه flowed in their branches, and they became green; as also ↓ أَخْضَبَتْ, (TA,) for which اخصبت, with the unpointed ص, is said by Az to be a gross mistranscription; explained by Lth, on whose authority it is written with ص, [as also in the K in art. خصب,] as meaning the sap flowed in the branches of the عضاه so as to reach the roots. (T and TA in art. خصب.) And خَصَبَ النَّخْلُ, (S, K,) inf. n. خَضْبٌ, (K,) The palm-trees, (S,) or the spadices of the palm-trees, (K,) became green. (S, K.)

(TA.) خَضْبَةٌ A spadix of a palm-tree: خَصْبَةٌ, [q. v.,] with the unpointed ص, is erroneously said to have this signification. (TA.) خُضَبَةٌ A woman who uses خِضَاب for herself [i. e. for dyeing her hair or hands &c.] much, or often. (S, A, K.) خِضَابٌ Hinnà (حِنَّآء), and the like: (Msb:) or the thing with which one dyes, or tinges, his, or her, hair &c.; (S, K, TA;) such as حِنَّآء and كَتَم and the like.

(S.) b2: And hence, (TA,) الكَفُّ الخَضِيبُ (assumed tropical:) A certain star; (S, A, K;) the star β of Cassiopeia; (so in the Egyptian almanacs;) [i. e.] the bright star of the constel-lation called ذَاتُ الكُرْسِىِّ; which star is [termed] the extended right hand of الثُّرَيَّا [or the Pleiades; corresponding to the star called الكَفُّ الجَذْمَآءُ].

ربيع, when it eats أَسَارِيع [app. meaning certain worms so called], its legs and beak assume the red hue of the عُصْفُر [or safflower]: (AHn, L:) or خاضب is applied to a male ostrich the slender parts of whose legs become red when the dates begin to become red, and cease to be so when the redness of the dates ceases: (AHn, K:) so that it is not from eating اساريع, which, it is said, no ostrich is known to eat: accord. to As, the cause [of the redness above mentioned] is only the dye of blossoms; but were it so, the bird would also become yellow, and green, &c., [and some assert that it partially does, as has been shown above,] accord. to the colours of the blossoms and herbs; and the green colour would predominate: [but, as the Arabs say, this requires consideration:] whatever be the cause, the bird, it is said, is termed خاضب on account of the redness that affects its shanks: and this word is [said to be] an epithet used as a proper name of the bird: (AHn, L:) but this is a mistake, unless it mean that, because of its prevailing application, it is used in the same manner as الحٰرِثُ and العَبَّاسُ, not that it may be used [in a determinate sense] without the article ال: (L:) the pl. is خَوَاضِبُ. (TA.) It is also said to be applied as an epithet to Any animal that eats خَضْب [q. v.]: (TA:) and particularly to [the species of bovine antelope called] the wild bull (الثَّوْرُ الوَحْشِىُّ).

(TA.) b2: مَخَاضِبُ [is its pl.; and also] signifies The rags of the خِضَاب [or hudot;innà or the like]: (A:) [or] of the حيض [or catamenia]. (TA.) [If these two significations be correct, the latter is app. tropical: but حيض may be a mistranscription for خضاب.]

(K, * TA.) الخَاصِرَةُ [The flank; i. e. each of the ilia;] i. q. الشَّاكِلَةُ; (Zj, in his “ Khalk el-Insán; ” S, K;) i. e. the طَفْطَفَة [or quivering flesh] of the side, that reaches to the extremities of the ribs: (Zj, ibid.:) and [so in the K, but more properly “ or,”] الخَاصِرَةُ, (K,) or الخَاصِرَاتَانِ (JK, TA) and ↓ الخَصْرَانِ, (TA,) what is between the حَرْقَفَة [or crest of the hip] and the lowest rib; (JK, K, TA;) i. e. the part from which retires each of the lowest ribs, and in advance of which projects each of the حَجَبَتَانِ: [explained by the words ما قلص عنه القُصَيْرَيَانِ وتقدّم من الحجبتين: but for من الحجبتين, I read مِنْهُ الحَجَبَتَانِ; referring, for corroboration, to explanations of this last word; and therefore I have rendered the passage as above: the meaning seems evidently to be the part between the lowest rib and the crest of the hip, on each side:] the thin skin which is above the خَصْر is called the طَفْطَفَة: so in the M, agreeably with the saying of Ibn-El-Ajdábee, that ↓ الخَصْرُ and الخَاصِرَةُ are syn.; i. e., in this sense: [this assertion, however, requires consideration; for all the explanations of الخاصرة are easily reconcileable:] pl. خَوَاصِرُ [which is also used in the sense of the sing. or dual]. (TA.) You say رَجُلٌ ضَخْمُ الخَواصِرِ [A man large in the flank or flanks]: and Lh mentions the phrase إِنَّهَا لَمُنْتَفِخَةُ الخَوَصِرِ [Verily she is inflated, or swollen, in the flank or flanks]; as though the term خاصرة were applicable to every portion [of the flank]. (TA.) b2: Also A pain in the خَاصِرَة [or flank]: or in the kidneys. (TA.) b3: And it is also said to signify A certain vein (عِرْق) in the kidney, which occasions pain to the person when it is in motion. (TA.) خِنْصِرٌ: see art خنصر.

أَخْصَرُ [Shorter: and shortest]. You say, هٰذَا

أَخْصَرُ مِنْ ذَاكَ This [road] is shorter than that. (A.) But this is irregular; أَخْصَرُ being formed from اُخْتُصِرَ, a verb of more than three letters. (I' Ak p. 237.) مِخْصَرَةٌ A thing like a whip: and anything that a man takes (يَخْتَصِرُ) with his hand, and holds, such as a staff and the like: (S:) a thing which a man takes in his hand, and upon which he leans, such as a staff and the like: (K, * TA:) a rod [or sceptre] which a king used to take in his hand, with which he made signs, or pointed, in holding a discourse, or addressing, (A, K, *) and accompanied what he said, (A,) and in like manner the خَطِيب in reciting a خُطْبَة: (K, * TA:) it was one of the insignia of kings: (TA:) a rod, or what is termed عَنَزَة, or the like, with which the خَطِيب makes signs, or points, in addressing the people: (Msb:) a thing which a man holds in his hand, such as any of the things termed عَصًا and مِقْرَعَةٌ and عَنَزَةٌ and عُكَّازَةٌ and قَضِيبٌ, or the like; and upon which he sometimes leans: (A 'Obeyd:) pl. مَخَاصِرُ. (S, TA.) مُخَصَّرٌ, applied to a man, (TA,) Slender (K, TA) in the waist: (TA:) lean, or lank in the belly: (K:) or, in the خَاصِرَة [or flank]: (TA:) and البَطْنِ ↓ مَخْصُورٌ is also applied to a man [as meaning lank in the belly]. (A, TA.) b2: كَشْحٌ مُخَصَّرٌ A thin [flank or rather waist: see a verse of Imra-el-Keys cited voce مُذَلَّلٌ]. (S, A, K.) b3: قَدَمٌ مُخَصَّرَةٌ (JK, A, TA) and ↓ مَخْصُورَةٌ (JK, TA) (tropical:) [A foot that touches the ground with its fore part and heel; the middle of the sole being hollow and narrow: this meaning, or a meaning similar to that of يَدٌ مُخَصَّرَةٌ explained below, seems to be indicated in the TA: the latter is the meaning accord. to the JK; but this [ think doubtful, on account of what here follows]. مُخَصَّرُ القَدَمَيْنِ means (tropical:) A man whose feet touch the ground with the fore part and the heel; the middle of the sole being hollow and narrow: (S, K:) and you say also ↓ مَخْصُورُ القَدَمَيْنِ.

مَخَاصِرُ pl. of مِخْصَرَةٌ. (S, TA.)

(L.) المُخْتَصَرَاتُ, or مُخْتَصِرَاتُ الطُّرُقِ: see the paragraph next preceding.

المُتَخَصِّرُونَ, (K,) or المُتَخَصِّرُونَ فِى الصَّلَاةِ, (Mgh,) Those who, in praying in the night, becoming tired thereby, put their hands upon their خَوَاصِر [or flanks]: of such it is said (in a trad., IAth, K) that light shall be [seen] on their faces (IAth, Mgh, K) on the day of resurrection: (IAth, K:) [in other cases, this action is forbidden, or disapproved: see 8:] or, in the instance mentioned above, it may mean those who shall rest upon their righteous works on the day of resurrection: (IAth, Mgh, TA:) this latter is apparently the right meaning: otherwise, two trads. contradict each other. (MF.)

موت

1 مَاتَ, aor. ـُ (inf. n. مَوْتٌ; Msb,) and مَاتَ, (originally مَوِتَ, like خَافَ, originally خَوِفَ, MF) [sec. per. مِتَّ,] aor. ـَ (S, K,) which latter is of the dial. of Teiyi; (TA;) and مَاتَ, (in which the medial radical letter is originally ى, like بَاعَ, MF) aor. ـِ (K,) a form which some have disapproved; (MF;) and مَاتَ, (originally مَوِتَ, Kr,) sec. Pers\. مِتَّ, aor. ـُ like دَامَ, (originally دَوِمَ, Kr,) aor. ـُ (Kr, Msb, &c.,) and like the sound verbs نَعِمَ, aor. ـْ and فَضِلَ, aor. ـْ (TA,) of the class of words in which two dial. forms are intermixed; (Msb;) He died; contr. of حَيِى. (K,) b2: [مَاتَ عَنْ بَنِينَ وَبَنَاتٍ He died having passed away from, i. e. leaving behind him, sons and daughters. And مَاتَ عَنْ ثَمَانِينَ سَنًة He died having passed beyond eighty years; i. e. being eighty years old.] b3: اللَّبَنُ لَا يَمُوتُ [The milk will not die], in a saying of 'Omar, in a trad., means, that if a child sucks the milk of a dead woman, it becomes unlawful for him afterwards to marry any of her relations who would be unlawful to him if he sucked her milk while she was living: or it means, that, if milk taken from the breast of a woman is given to a child to drink, and he drinks it, the consequence is the same; that the effect of the milk in producing this consequence is not annulled by its separation from the breast; for whatever is separated from a living being is termed ميت, or dead, except the milk and hair and wool on account of the necessity of making use of these. (TA.) b4: مَاتَتِ الأَرْضُ, inf. n. مَوَتَانٌ and مَوَاتٌ, (tropical:) The land became destitute of cultivation and of inhabitants. (Msb.) b5: مَاتَ (tropical:) It (soil) became deprived of vegetable life. Hence an expression in the Kur, xxx. 18. (Az, Er-Rághib.) b6: مَاتَ (tropical:) He became deprived of sensation; [dead as to the senses]. So in the Kur, xix. 23: [but this appears to me doubtful]. (Az, Er-Rághib.) b7: مَاتَ (tropical:) He became deprived of the intellectual faculty; [intellectually dead;] or ignorant. Hence an expression in the Kur, vi. 122; and another in the Kur, xxvii. 82; and xxx. 51. (Az, Er-Rághib.) b8: مَاتَ (tropical:) [He became as though dead with grief, or sorrow, and fear;] he experienced grief, or sorrow, and fear, that disturbed his life. Hence what is said in the Kur, xiv. 20. (Az, Er-Rághib.) b9: مَاتَ (tropical:) He or it, was or became, still, quiet, or motionless. (K.) b10: ماتَتِ الرِّيح (tropical:) The wind became still, or calm. (TA.) b11: مَاتَ (tropical:) He slept.

(TA.) b17: بَلَدٌ تَمُوتُ فِيهِ الرِّيحُ [A town, or country, &c., in which the wind becomes broken, or loses its force]. (TA.) b18: مَاتَ فُوقُ الرَّجُلِ (tropical:) The man slept heavily; became heavy in his sleep. (TA.) b19: يَمُوتُ مِنَ الحَسَدِ (tropical:) [He dies, or will die, of envy].

(TA.) b24: مَاتَ (assumed tropical:) He (a man) became lowly, humble, or submissive, to the truth. (TA.) 2 مَوَّتَتِ الدَّوَابُّ The beasts of carriage died in great numbers; or deaths amongst them were frequent. (TA.) b2: See 4.3 مَاْوَتَ [ماوتهُ,] inf. n. مُمَاوَتَةٌ, He vied with him in patience, (K,) and in firmness, or steadiness, or the like. (TA.) [In the K, the inf. n. is expl. by مُصَابَرَة; and in the TA, by مُثَابَتَة also.]4 اماتهُ and ↓ موّتهُ (but the latter has an intensive signification, S,) He (God) caused him to die; put him to death; killed him. (S, K.) b2: امات (tropical:) He (a man) lost a son, or sons, by death. (ISk, S.) b3: امات فُلَانٌ بَنِينَ Such a man lost sons by death. (A.) b4: اماتت She (a woman, AO, S, K, and a camel, S, K.) lost her offspring by death. (S, K.) b5: اماتوا Death [or a mortal disease] happened among their camels. (K.) b6: مَا أَمْوَتَهُ signifies مَا أَمْوَتَ قَلْبَهُ [(tropical:) How dead is his heart !] for one does not wonder at any action that does not increase: (S, K:) therefore what is here meant is not literally death. (TA.) b7: اماتهُ (tropical:) He (God) rendered him poor; reduced him to poverty. (TA, from a trad.) b8: اماتهُ (tropical:) He [or it] caused him to sleep. Ex., in a prayer said on awaking, الحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ الَّذِى أَحْيَانَا بَعْدَ مَا أَمَاتَنَا Praise be to God who hath awaked us after having caused us to sleep ! (L.) b9: يُمِيتُ اللَّيْلَ (assumed tropical:) He sleeps during the night. (W, p. 9.) b10: امات اللَّحْمَ, (and ↓ موّتهُ, TA,) He took extraordinary pains in thoroughly cooking, and in boiling, the meat. (K.)

مَوْتٌ (and ↓ مَوَتَانٌ, TA,) Death; lifelessness; contr. of حَيَاةٌ: (S, TA:) as also ↓ مُوَاتٌ, (S, K,) and ↓ مَمَاتٌ. [Occurring in the Kur, vi. 163, xvii. 77, and xlv. 20,] (S, * TA, in art. حى, and Jel, in vi. 163.) [See also مُوتَانٌ, below: and see 1.] Or ↓ مَوَتَانٌ, signifies much death, like as حَيَوَانٌ signifies much life. (Msb, in art. حى.) b2: المَوْتُ الأَبْيَضُ, and الجَارِفُ, and اللَّافِتُ, and الفَاتِلُ, Sudden death. (IAar, in T and TA, art. فلت.) b3: المَوْتُ الأَحْمَرُ Death by slaughter with the sword.

(TA.) مَوَتَانٌ (assumed tropical:) Inanimate things, or goods; dead stock; such as lands and houses [&c.]; (S;) contr. of حَيَوَانٌ [q. v.] (S, K.) It is made of this measure to agree in measure with its contr.

حيوان: both these words deviate from the constant course of speech; being of a measure properly belonging to inf. ns. (TA.) [See also مَوَاتٌ.] b2: إِشْتَرِ المَوَتَانَ وَلا تَشْتَرِ الحَيَوَانَ Buy lands and houses [or the like], and buy not slaves and beasts of carriage [&c.]. (S.) b3: رَجُلٌ يَبِيعُ المَوَتَانَ A man who sells utensils or furniture or the like, and anything but what has life. (L.) b4: See also مَوْتٌ.

&c.: ↓ مَوَتَانٌ signifies the same as مُوَاتٌ (مَوَاتٌ?), namely, land that is no man's property; and is also written مَوْتَانٌ: (L:) or مَوَتَانٌ signifies land that has not yet been brought into a state of cultivation: (Fr, S, L, K:) in a trad. it is said, that such land is the property of God and his Apostle; and whosoever brings into a state of cultivation such land, to him it belongs. (S.) مُوَاتٌ: see مَوْتٌ and مُوتَانٌ.

مَيِّتٌ and ↓ مَيْتٌ signify the same, [Dead, or dying]: (Zj, S, K:) the former is originally مَيْوِتٌ, of the measure فَيْعِلٌ: (S:) the latter is contracted from the former; and is both masc. and fem.; (Zj, S;) as is also the former. (Zj.) 'Adee Ibn-Er-Raalà says, ↓ لَيْسَ مَنْ مَاتَ فَاسْتَرَاحَ بِمَيْتٍ

إِنَّمَا المَيْتُ مَيِّتُ الأَحْيَآءِ [He who has died and become at rest is not dead: the dead is only the dead of the living]. (S, TA.) Or ↓ مَيْتٌ signifies One who has died (actually, TA,); and مَيِّتٌ, as also ↓ مَائِتٌ, one who has not yet died, (K,) but who is near to dying: or, accord. to a verse cited by AA, to Kh, مَيْتٌ is applied to him who is borne to the grave; [i. e., who is dead, or lifeless]; and مَيِّتٌ, to him who [is dying, but] has life in him. (TA.) Fr says, you say of him who has not died, إِنَّهُ مَائِتٌ, عَنْ قَلِيلٍ ↓ and مَيِّتٌ; but you do not say of him who has died ↓ هذا مَائِتٌ: (S:) but some say, that this is an error, and that مَيِّتٌ is applicable to that which will soon die. Those who assert that ميّت is applicable only to the living adduce the following words of the Kur, [xxxix. 31,] إِنَّكَ مَيِّتٌ وَإِنَّهُمْ مَيِّتُونَ: (TA:) i. e. Verily thou wilt die, and verily they will die. (Msb.) MF observes, that مَيْتٌ is asserted to be contracted from مَيِّتٌ; and if so, that there can be no difference in their meanings: that the making a difference between them is contrary to analogy; agreeably with which, they should be like هَيْنٌ and هَيِّنٌ, and لَيْنٌ and لَيِّنٌ: and also contrary to what has been heard from the Arabs; for they made no difference in their use of these two words. (TA.) [See also what is said of مَيْتَةٌ, below.] The pls. are أَمْوَاتٌ and مَوْتَى and مَيِّتُونَ and مَيْتُونَ. (S, K.) The first of these is pl. of مَيِّتٌ, and consequently of مَيْتٌ, because this latter is contracted from the former: as مَيِّتٌ is of the measure فَيْعِلٌ, and this measure resembles فَاعِلٌ, it has received a form of pl. which is sometimes applicable to the measure فاعل: (Sb:) or اموات is [only] pl. of مَيْتٌ. (Msb.) [The second form (which is applied to rational beings, Msb,) is also pl. of ميّت and ميت.] The third and fourth are [only] applied to rational beings. (Msb.) The fem. epithet is مَيِّتَةٌ and مَيْتَةٌ and مَيِّتٌ (K, TA) and مَيْتٌ. (TA; and so in some copies of the K, in the place of مَيِّتٌ.) مَيِّتَةٌ is an epithet applied to a female rational being; [and its pl. is مَيِّتَاتٌ:] مَيْتَةٌ, to a female brute, for the sake of distinction; and its pl. is مَيْتَاتٌ: the latter is contracted because it is more in use than the former epithet applied to a female rational being: (Msb:) the pl. of ميّت and ميت as fem. epithets is as above [أَمْوَاتٌ and مَوْتَى]. (TA.) b2: ↓ مَيْتَةٌ signifies That which has not been slaughtered (AA, S, K) [in the manner prescribed by the law, i. e., carrion]: or that of which the life has departed without slaughter: so in the classical language and in the language of practical law: all such is unlawful to be eaten, except fish and locusts, which are lawful by universal consent of the Muslims: (En-Nawawee:) or, in the common acceptation of the language of law, what has died a natural death, or been killed in a state or manner different from that prescribed by the law, either the agent or the animal killed not being such as is so prescribed; as that which is sacrificed to an idol, or slaughtered [by a person] in the state of إِحْرَام, or not by having the throat cut, and that which it is unlawful to eat, such as a dog: (Msb:) [and any separated part of an animal of which the flesh is not lawful food: see عَاجٌ.] b3: بَلَدٌ مَيِّتٌ A tract of land without herbage, or pasture, (Msb, in art. بلد.) b4: مَيِّتٌ (assumed tropical:) An unbeliever; like as حَىٌّ means a Muslim. (TA, in art. حى.) مَيِّتٌ and مَيْتٌ are employed in various other senses, agreeably with the senses of the verb.]

مَائِتٌ: see مَيِّتٌ. b2: فُلَانٌ مَائِتٌ فى الغَمِّ (tropical:) [Such a one is dying, or absorbed, in grief]. (TA.) b3: مَوْتٌ مَائِتٌ A severe, painful, or violent, death: (TA:) like لَيْلٌ لَائِلٌ: the latter word being added to corroborate the former. (S.) مَمَاتٌ: see مَوْتٌ.

مُمِيتٌ and مُمِيتَةٌ (tropical:) A woman, and a she-camel, that has lost her offspring by death: (S:) and a woman who has lost her husband by death: (TA:) pl. مَمَاوِيتُ. (S.) مُتَمَاوِتٌ (tropical:) [Feigning himself dead]. b2: (tropical:) An epithet applied to A hypocritical devotee, (S, K,) who pretends to be like one dead in his devotion, who lowers his voice, and moves little: as though he were one who put on the outward appearance of devotees, and constrained himself to characterize himself by the characteristics of the dead, that he might be imagined to be weak by reason of much devotion. (TA.) مُسْتَمِيتٌ A courageous man, who seeks, or courts death: (K:) a man who seeks to be slain; who cares not, in war, for death: (S:) abandon-ing, or devoting, himself to death, (مسْتَرْسِلٌ لِلْمَوْتِ,) as also مُسْتَقْتِلٌ. (A.) b2: (assumed tropical:) Abandoning, or devoting himself to a thing, or affair; syn. مُسْتَرْسِلٌ لِأَمْرٍ. (S, K.) b3: هَوَ مُسْتَمِيتٌ إِلَى كَذَا, as also مُسْتَهْلِكٌ, (tropical:) He [is devoted to such a thing, so that he] imagines that he shall die if he do not attain it.
