(TA.) b2: And أَفْعَمْتُ البَيْتَ بِرِيحِ العُودِ [I filled the house, or chamber, or tent, with the odour of aloes-wood]. (S.) It is said in a trad., لَوْ أَنْ امْرَأَةً مِنَ الحُورِ العِينَ أَشْرَفَتْ لَأَفْعَمَتْ مَا َبيْنَ السَّمَآءِ وَالأَرْضِ رِيحَ المِسْكِ i. e. [If a woman (or Paradise) of those having eyes like the eyes of gazelles rose into view,] she would fill [the space between the heaven and the earth with the odour of musk]: thus related: and also لَأَفْغَمَتْ, and لَفَغَمَتْ: but Az says that the right relation is لافعمت, with ع. (TA in this art. and in art. فغم.) And one says, افعم المِسْكُ البَيْتَ The musk filled with its odour, (S,) or perfumed, (K,) [the house, or chamber, or tent.] b3: and افعم الرَّجُلَ He filled the man with anger; (S, TA;) mentioned by Az on the authority of Aboo-Turáb: (TA:) or he angered him: or he filled his nose with odour, (K, TA,) i. e. with sweet odour: (TA:) as also ↓ فَعِمَهُ and ↓ فَعَمَهُ, aor. of both فَعَمَ, (K, TA,) inf. n. فَعْمٌ; but better known with the pointed غ.

(TA.) مُفْعَمٌ Filled; applied in this sense to a skin for water or milk; as also مُفْأَمٌ: but as to ↓ مَفْعُومٌ, IAar asserts that he had not heard it except in a verse of Kutheiyir: Az, however, mentions it as signifying full [like فَعْمٌ], applied to a river, or rivulet: and Aboo-Sahl cites an ex. of it from the verses of the Fs as signifying full of flesh. (TA.) b2: The phrase سَيْلٌ مُفْعَمٌ may be of the same category as هَمٌّ نَاصِبٌ [for هَمٌّ ذُو نَصَبٍ], the meaning being A torrent having the quality of filling; though the possessive epithet in most instances has the form of the act. part. n., such as طَالِقٌ [for ذَاتَ طَلَاقٍ] and مُرْضِعٌ [for ذَاتُ رَضِيعٍ]: or it may be that مَفْعَمٌ in this case is expressive of muchness, or abundance, like the latter word in the phrase شِعْرٌ شَاعِرٌ and in مَوْتٌ مَائِتٌ. (Ham p. 106.) مَفْعُومٌ: see the next preceding paragraph.

(TA.) أَفْعًى, (S, Msb, K) of the fem. gender, but with tenween, (S, Msb,) because it is a subst., not an epithet; (Msb;) [said in the S and Msb to be like أَرْوًى; but this is a mistake, for اروى is without tenween;] or it is an epithet and a subst.; (K, TA;) but mostly a subst.; (TA;) [if used as an epithet, it is without tenween, written أَفْعَى, being also of the measure of a verb;] A certain serpent, (S, Msb, K,) of a malignant kind; [i. e. the viper;] also called ↓ أُفْعُوٌّ, (K, TA, [in the CK, erroneously, اُفْعُوان, which see in what follows,]) occurring in a trad., in which it is said that there is no harm in the killing of the أُفْعُوّ and the حُدُوّ by the مُحْرِم, the [final] alif being changed into و in both of these words in the dial. of El-Hijáz: (TA:) it is spotted, black and white; slender in the neck; broad in the head; it is said that it will not quit its place; (TA;) always coiling itself round; and neither antidote nor charm is of any avail against it: (Msb, TA:) sometimes it has two horns [i. e. it sometimes signifies the cerastes, or horned viper]: (TA:) ↓ أُفْفُوَانٌ signifies the male: (S, Msb, TA:) [see also خِشَاشٌ:] the pl. is أَفَاعٍ. (S, Msb, K. * [In the K, the pl. is written أَفَاعِى, which, when indeterminate, is wrong.]) b2: [Hence,] by way of comparison [to vipers], (TA,) الأَفَاعِى signifies (tropical:) Certain veins (عُرُوق) that branch off from the حَالِبَانِ [q. v.]. (K.) أَفْعآءٌ [a pl. of which the sing. is not mentioned] Sweet, or pleasant, odours. (IAar, M, K.) أُفْعُوٌّ, and أُفْعُوانٌ: see أَفْعًى.

نخرب

Q. 1 نَخْرَبَ It (a canker-worm) pierced holes in, or eroded, a tree. (K.) IJ derives this verb from خَرَابٌ, (TA,) q. v.

نُخْرُوبٌ; (S, K;) mentioned in the K without description of its measure because there is no Arabic word of the measure فَعْلُولْ; but some prefer it being written نَخْرُوبٌ, [as it is in the CK,] asserting its ن to be augmentative, so that its measure is نَفْعُولٌ, as IAar holds, asserting it to be derived from خَرَابٌ; (TA;) A fissure, or cleft, in a stone. (S, K.) b2: Also, [so in the TA: in the CK and a MS. copy, or,] A hole, perforation, or bore, in anything. (K.) Pl.
