[lit. I saddled for him myself;] meaning (assumed tropical:) I endured patiently his annoyance, or molestation. (S.) And رَحَلَ فُلَانٌ صَاحِبَهُ بِمَا يَكْرَهُ (assumed tropical:) [Such a one put upon, or did to, his companion that which he disliked, or hated]. (TA.)

A2: He (a camel) became strong in his back, [so as to be fit for the رَحْل (or saddle) or for journeying,] after weakness: (IDrd, K:) or he (a camel) became fat; as though there came [what resembled] a رَحْل upon his back, by reason of his fatness and his [large] hump: (Er-Rághib, TA:) and ارحلت الإِبِلُ The camels became fat after leanness, so as to be able to journey. (S K.) b2: And He (a man, TA) had many [camels such as are termed]

(TA.) One says, حَطَّ رَحْلَهُ and أَلْقَى رَحْلَهُ [He put down his camel's saddle]; meaning he stayed, or abode. (TA.) And هٰذَا مَحَطُّ الرِّحَالِ [This is the place where the camels' saddles are put down]. (TA.)

(Msb.) b2: Er-Rághib, after giving the explanation mentioned as on his authority above, says that it is then sometimes applied to The camel [itself]: and is sometimes used in the sense next following; i. e. b3: A part, of a place of alighting or abode, upon which on sits: (TA:) or a man's dwelling, or habitation; (S, K, TA;) [in the first of which, this commences the art., app. showing that the author held this to be the primary signification;]) his house or tent; and his place of alighting or abode: (TA:) a place to which a man betakes himself, or repairs, for lodging, covert, or refuge; a man's place of resort; (Mgh, Msb;) in a region, district, or tract, of cities, towns, or villages, and of cultivated land: and then applied to the goods, utensils, or apparatus, of a traveller; because they are, in travelling, the things to which he betakes himself: (Msb:) pl. أَرْحُلٌ (TA) and رِحَالٌ [as above]. (Mgh, TA.) One says, دَخَلْتُ عَلَى الرَّجُلِ رَحْلَهُ, i. e. [I went in to the man in] his dwelling, or place of abode. (TA.) And it is said in a trad., إِذَا ابْتَلَّتِ النِّعَالُ فَصَلُّوا فِى الرِّحَالِ, (TA,) or فِىلصَّلَاةُ فِى الرِّحَالِ, (Mgh, and so in the TA in art. نعل,) i. e. [When the نِعَال are moistened by rain, then pray ye, or then prayer shall be performed,] in the houses, or habitations, or places of abode; the نعال meaning here the حِرَار; (IAth, TA in the present art.;) or rugged and hard tracts of ground; which are here particularized because the least wet moistens them, whereas the soft tracts dry up the water: (IAth, TA in art. نعل:) Az says that the meaning is, when the hard grounds are rained upon, they become slippery to him who walks upon them; therefore pray ye in your abodes, and there shall not be anything brought against you for your not being present at the prayer in the mosques of the congregations: (TA in that art.:) or the trad. may mean, then pray ye [on the camels' saddles, i. e.] riding. (TA in the present art.) b4: In another trad., it is related that 'Omar said to the Prophet, حَوَّلْتُ رَحْلِىَ البَارِحَةَ; by the word رَحْل, as signifying [properly] either the “ place of abode and resort ” or the “ saddle upon which camels are ridden,” alluding to his wife; meaning غِشْيَانُهَا فِى قُبُلِهَا مِنْ جِهَةِ ظَهْرِهَا (TA.) b5: رَحْلُ المُصْحَفِ means The thing [or desk] upon which the مصحف [or copy of the Kur-án] is put, in shape [somewhat] like the saddle.

(S voce حِضَارٌ.)

(K.) b2: Also A removal, departure, or journey; (Az, S, Msb, K;) and so ↓ رُحْلَةٌ, (Lh, Msb, K,) and ↓ رَحِيلٌ: (S, K: [the last said in the Msb to be and inf. n.:]) you say دَنَتْ رِحْلَتُنَا (S) or قَرُبَتْ رِحْلَتُنَا (Msb) [Our removal, &c., drew near, or has drawn near]: and إِنَّهُ لَذُو رِحْلَةٍ إِلَى المُلُوكِ and ↓ رِحْلَة Verily he is one who journeys, or has journeyed, to the kings: (Lh, TA:) and in like manner رُحْلَةٌ is used in the Kur cvi. 2: (TA:) b3: or ↓ رِحْلَةٌ with damm, (S, Msb, K,) signifies The thing to which one removes, departs, or journeys; (Az, Msb;) or the direction, or point, or object, to which one desires to repair, or betakes himself: (AA, S, Msb, K:) and also, (K,) or رُحْلَةٌ, (TA,) a single journey; (K, TA;) as ISd says: (TA:) you say, ↓ مَكَّةُ رُحْلَتِى Mekkeh is the point, or object, to which I desire to remove, or depart, or journey: (TA:) and ↓ أَنْتُمْ رُحْلَتِى Ye are they to whom I remove, or depart, or journey: (S, TA:) and ↓ أَنْتَ رُحْلَتُنَا Thou art the object to which we repair, or betake ourselves. (Msb.)

(S.) When a man is hasty in doing evil to his companion, one says to him, اِسْتَقْدَمَتْ رِحَالَتُكَ [lit. Thy saddle has got before thee, or shifted forwards]: (S in the present art.:) it is a prov., meaning that has preceded than which another was more fit to do so. (S in art. قدم.) In the following saying of Imra-el-Keys, addressing his wife, فَإِمَّا تَرَيْنِى فِى رِحَالَةِ جَابِرٍ عَلَى حَرَجٍ كَالْقَرِّتَخْفِقُ أَكْفَانِى

[And either thou wilt see me upon the saddle of Jábir, upon a bier like the vehicle called قَرّ, my grave-clothes fluttering], he means, by the word رحالة, [merely] the حَرَج; there being in this case no رحالة in reality: it is like the saying, جَآءَ فُلَانٌ عَلَى نَاقَةِ الحَذَّآءِ, meaning [“ Such a one came upon] the sandal [or sandals]: ” Jábir is the name of a certain carpenter. (S.) A2: Also A ewe. (Ibn-'Abbád, TA.) [Hence,] رِحَالَهْ رِحَالَهْ is A call to the ewe, (Ibn-'Abbád, K,) on the occasion of milking.

(TA.) رَحَّالَةٌ: see what next precedes.

رَاحِلَةٌ A she-camel that is fit to be saddled; (S, Msb, K;) thus some say; (Msb;) as also ↓ رَحُولٌ (S, K) and ↓ رَحُولَةٌ: (K:) or [generally a saddle-camel, or] a camel that is ridden, male or female: (S, Msb:) accord. to IKt, a she-camel that is strong to journey and to bear burdens; and such as a man chooses for his riding and his saddle on account of excellence, or generousness, or high breed, or of strength and lightness and swiftness, and of perfectness of make, and beauty of aspect: but this explanation is wrong: (Az, TA:) it signifies a he-camel, and a she-camel, that is excellent, or generous, or high-bred, or strong and light and swift: (Az, Mgh, TA:) the she-camel is not more entitled to this appellation than the he-camel: (Az, TA:) the ة is added to give intensiveness to the signification; as in دَاهِيَةٌ and بَاقِعَةٌ and عَلَّامَةٌ, epithets applied to a man: or, as some say, the she-camel is so called because she is saddled; and it is like عِيشَةٌ رَاضِيَةٌ meaning مَرْضِيَّةٌ, and مَآءٌ دَافِقٌ meaning مَدْفُوقٌ: or, as others say, because she is ذَاتُ رَحْلٍ [one having a saddle]; and in like manner, عِيشَةٌ رَاضِيَةٌ meansذَاتُ رَضًى, and مَآءٌ دَافِقٌ means ذُو دَفْقٍ: (TA:) the pl. is رَوَاحِلُ. (S, Msb.) It is said in a trad., تَجِدُونَ النَّاسَ بَعْدِى كَإِبِلٍ مِائَةٍ لَيْسَ فِيهَا رَاحِلَةٌ [Thou wilt find the people, or mankind, after me, like a hundred camels among which there is not a راحلة]: (Mgh, * TA:) because the راحلْ among a herd of camels is conspicuous and known. (TA.) b2: مَشَتْ رَوَاحِلِى, a phrase used by the poet Dukeyn, means (tropical:) I have become hoary and weak: or, as some say, I have forsaken my ignorant, or foolish, behaviour, and have restrained myself from foul conduct, and become obedient to my censurers; like as the راحلة obeys her chider, and goes. (TA.) رَاحُولٌ: see رَحْلٌ, first sentence.

رَاحُولَاتٌ A camel's saddle, (رَحْلٌ, Az, K,) or camel's saddles, so in the O, (TA,) variegated, figured, or embellished. (Az, O, K, TA.) [It is really, as well as literally, a pl.: for] a poet says, عَلَيْهِنَّ رَاحُولَاتُ كُلِّ قَطِيفَةٍ

(TA.) أَرْحَلُ (tropical:) A horse white in the back; (S, Mgh, K;) because it is the place of the رَحْل [or rather of the رِحَالَة]; (Mgh, TA;) the whiteness not reaching to the belly nor to the rump nor to the neck: (TA:) and a sheep or goat black in the back: accord. to Abu-l-Ghowth, the fem., رَحْلَآءُ, applied to a mare, has the former meaning only: (S:) but شَاةٌ رَحْلَآءُ means a sheep or goat, or a ewe or she-goat, white in the back, and black in the other parts; and likewise black in the back, and white in the other parts: (S, K: *) so says Abu-l-Ghowth: (S:) and it is also explained as meaning black, but white in the place of the saddle, from the hinder parts of the shoulderblades: also as meaning white, but black in the back: Az adds that such as is white in one of the hind legs is termed رَجْلَآءُ [with جيم]. (TA.) تَرْحِيلٌ (assumed tropical:) A whiteness predominating over, or interrupted by, blackness, (شُهْبَةٌ,) or a redness, upon the shoulder-blades, (K, TA,) the place upon which lies the رَحْل [or camel's saddle].

(IDrd, TA.) and A fat camel; though he be not excellent, or generous, or high-bred, or strong and light and swift: so in the “ Nawádir el-Aaráb. ” (TA.) See also رُحْلَةٌ, in two places.

مَرْحَلَةٌ [A station of travellers; i. e.] a place of alighting or abode, between two such places: (TA:) [and also a day's journey, or thereabout; or] the space which the traveller journeys in about a day: (Msb:) sing. of مَرَاحِلُ; (S, Msb, K;) which is also a pl. of مُرَحَّلٌ as an epithet applied to a بُرْد. (TA.) One says, بَيْنِى وَبَيْنَ كَذَا مَرْحَلَةٌ أَوْمَرْحَلَتَانِ [Between me and such a place, or thing, is a station or a day's journey or thereabout, or are two stations &c.]. (S, TA.) إِبِلٌ مُرَحَّلَةٌ Camels having their رِحَال [or saddles] upon them: and also camels whose رِحَال have been put down from them: thus having two contr. meanings. (K.) b2: And بُرْدٌ مُرَحَّلٌ A garment of the kind termed بُرْد upon which are the figures of a رَحْل [or camels' saddle], (K,) and the like thereof; as in the T: (TA:) the explanation that J has given of it, [or rather of مِرْطٌ مُرَحَّلٌ,] i. e. an إِزَار [or a waist-wrapper] of [the cloth called] خَزّ, upon which is an ornamented border, is not good: such is termed مُرَجَّلٌ, with جِيم: (K:) the pl. is مُرَحَّلَاتٌ and مَرَاحِلُ; both occurring in traditions; (TA in the present art.;) and the latter of them said in the T to be syn. with مَرَاجِلُ, which is pl. of مِرْجَلٌ [q. v.]. (TA in art. رجل.) مَرْحُولٌ: see رَحِيلٌ.

(S.) b2: احيا القَوْمُ The people, or company of men, had their cattle living: (K:) or had their cattle in good condition: (AA, S, K:) or had rain, so that their beasts obtained herbage to such a degree that they became fat: (Az:) or they (themselves) became in a state of abundance of herbage, or plenty. (S, K. [See also 1.]) 5 تحيّا مِنْهُ (assumed tropical:) He shrank from it: taken from الحَيَآءُ [or الحَيَاةُ]; because it is of the nature of the living to shrink: or it is originally تَحَوَّى; the و being changed into ى; or [in other words] from الحَىُّ “ the act of collecting,” [inf. n. of حَوَاهُ,] like تَحَيَّزَ from الحَوْزُ. (TA.) [See also 10.]6 تَحَايَا as quasi-pass. of 3, He quickened, enlivened, or revived, himself. See an ex. voce رُوحٌ.]10 استحياهُ He spared him; let him live; or left him alive; (S, Msb, K, TA;) did not slay him; (Msb;) in which sense the verb has but one form: (Msb, TA:) or he left him; let him alone; or forbore from him. (Mgh.) b2: Hence, as some say, (K,) إِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يَسْتَحْيِى أَنْ يَضْرِبَ مَثَلًا, (S, K,) in the Kur [ii. 24], i. e. لَا يَسْتَبْقِى

[meaning Verily God will not spare to propound, or refrain from propounding, a parable, or as a parable]. (S.) [Hence, also,] إِنَّ اللّٰهَ يَسْتَحْيِى مِنْ ذِى الشَّيْبَةِ المُسْلِمِ أَنْ يُعَذِّبَهُ, i. e. [Verily God] forbears from punishing [the hoary Muslim]. (Er-Rághib.) b3: [اِسْتَحْيَى, or اِسْتَحْيَا, which latter is the more proper mode of writing it, also signifies He felt, or had a sense of, or he was, or became, moved or affected with, shame, shyness, or bashfulness; and particularly, but not always, honest shame, or pudency, or modesty; or his soul shrank from foul things; as also اِسْتَحَى; and ↓ حَيِىَ, inf. n. حَيَآءٌ.] استحيى is of the dial. of El-Hijáz; and استحى, with a single ى, is of the dial. of Temeem; (Akh, S, Msb;) the former being the original, (Akh, S,) and that which is used in the Kur: (Msb:) in the latter, the first ى [of the original] is suppressed, [and its vowel is transferred to the ح,] to facilitate the pronunciation, because of the occurrence of the two ى s together: this is the opinion of Sb; and with it agrees that of Aboo-'Othmán [ElMázinee]: the opinion ascribed to Sb in the S, namely, that اِسْتَحَيْتُ is changed from اِسْتَحْيَيْتُ in like manner as اِسْتَبَعْتُ is changed from اِسْتَبٌيَعْتُ, is that of Kh, and is disallowed by El-Mázinee. (IB.) You say, استحيى منه, (S, K, [in the CK, erroneously, عَنْهُ,]) or استحيا منه, (Mgh, Msb,) and استحى منه, and استحياهُ, (S, Msb, K, TA,) and استحاهُ; (TA, [and so in the CK in the place of استحياهُ;]) as also منه ↓ حَيِىَ, (S, Mgh, Msb, K,) aor. ـْ (S,) inf. n. حَيَآءٌ; (S, * Mgh, Msb, K;) He was ashamed of it or on account of it, or ashamed to do it, or shy of doing it; [generally meaning a foul thing;] he was ashamed for himself, or of himself, or was bashful, or shy, with respect to it, or him; he was abashed at, or shy of, it, or him; (K;) he shrank from it, or him: (Msb, K: *) and استحيى مِنْ كَذَا [or استحيا] He disdained, or scorned, such a thing; abstained from it, or refused to do it, by reason of disdain and pride; he dislike, or hated, it, and his soul was above it; he shunned it, avoided it, or kept himself far from it; syn. أَنِفَ مِنْهُ. (TA.) حَىَّ a verbal noun, (S, M, Mgh, TA,) and therefore immediately followed by عَلَى, (M, TA,) used as an imperative [addressed to a single person, male or female, and to more than one]; (S;) used in calling, or summoning, or inviting, and urging; (Lth, T, TA;) and having no verb derived from it [alone, for حَيْعَلَ is derived from حَىَّ and عَلَى together]; (Lth, T, Msb, TA;) meaning Come: (S, M, Mgh, Msb, K, TA, &c.:) or come quickly: or hasten. (Mgh, TA.) Hence, حَىَّ عَلَى الصَّلَاهٌ (in the أَذَان, TA) Come to prayer: (IKt, S, M, Msb, K:) or come ye to prayer: or come ye quickly: or hasten ye. (TA.) And حَىَّ عَلَى الفَلَاحْ [in the same: see art. فلح]. (Mgh, TA.) And حَىَّ عَلَى الغَدَآءِ [Come to the morning-meal]: and على العَشَآءِ [to the evening-meal]: (Msb:) and على الثَّرِيدِ [to the crumbled bread moistened with broth]: (S:) and على الخَيْرِ [to good, good fortune, prosperity, &c.]. (Lth, T, TA.) The saying of Ibn-Ahmar, حَىَّ الحُمُولَ فَإِنَّ الرَّكْبَ قَدْ ذَهَبَا means Keep thou to the loads [for the riders upon the camels have gone]. (TA.) b2: In the phrase حَىَّ هَلَ, and حَىَّ هَلًا, followed by عَلَى كَذَا and إِلَى كَذَا, and حَىَّ هَلَا, (K,) which last is used in a case of pausation, but is bad in other cases, (S in art. هل,) and حَىَّ هَلْ, and حَيَّهْل, [so in the copies of the K,] with the ه quiescent, (K,) and حىّ هلن [app. حَىَّ هَلَنْ, for حَىَّ هَلًا, or perhaps a mistranscription for حَىَّ هَلَكَ], (TA,) [the most common rendering of حَىَّ هَلَ &c. is like that of حَىَّ alone, namely, Come: or] حىّ signifies hasten thou; and [هل or] هلا, come to it, or reach it; [so that the meaning is hasten thou: come to such a thing:] or حىّ signifies come; and [هل or] هلا, quickly (حَثِيثًا), or be thou quick; [so that the meaning is come quickly to such a thing:] or [هل or]

هلا signifies be thou quiet; and the meaning is أَسْرِعْ عِنْدَ ذِكْرِهِ وَاسْكُنْ حَتَّى يَنْقَضِىَ [Speed thou at the mention thereof, and be quiet until it is finished]. (K.) Accord. to Abu-lKhattáb, the Arabs used to say, حَىَّ هَلَ الصَّلَاةَ, meaning Come thou to prayer. (TA.) And one says, حَىَّ هَلْ بِفُلَانٍ, (IAar, and so in the CK,) and حَىَّ هَلًا بفلان, (IAar, and so in MS. copies of the K,) and حَىَّ هَلَ بفلان, meaning Hasten thou with such a one: (IAar:) or keep thou to such a one, and call him. (K.) It is said in a trad., إِذَا ذُكِرَ الصَّالِحُونَ فِحَىَّ هَلَ بِعُمَرَ, (S in art. هل,) or فَحَيَّهَلًا بِعُمَرَ, (TA,) i. e. [When the good, or righteous, are mentioned, then] keep thou to 'Omar, and call 'Omar, (S ubi suprà, and TA,) and begin with him, and be quick in mentioning him; (TA;) for he is of such. (S ubi suprà.) Accord. to some of the grammarians, (TA,) when you say حَىَّ هَلًا, with tenween, it is as though you said حَثًّا; and without tenween, it is as though you said الحَثَّ; the tenween being made a sign of indeterminateness; and the omission of it, a sign of determinateness: and so it is in all compounds of this kind. (K.) [See also art. هل.]

حَىٌّ Living, having life, alive, or quick; contr. of مَيِّتٌ [or مَيْتٌ]; (S, Mgh, * Msb, * K;) and ↓ حَيَوَانٌ is syn. with حَىٌّ [as meaning having animal life]: (IB:) dim. of the former ↓ حُيَىٌّ: (Msb:) and pl. أحْيَآءٌ. (Msb, K.) When you say of a person, لَيْسَ بِحَىٍّ, you mean that he is dead: (Lh:) but مِنْهَا ↓ ضُرِبَ ضَرْبَةً لَيْسَ بِحَاىٍ, (Lh, K,) [in the CK ضَرَبَ, and] in [some of] the copies of the K, erroneously, بِحَآءٍ, (TA,) means [He was struck a blow] in consequence of which he will not live: (Lh, K: *) like as the saying لَا تَأْكُلْ كَذَا فَإِنَّكَ مَارِضٌ means Thou wilt be sick if thou eat such a thing. (Lh, K.) Accord. to ISh, one says, أَتَانَا حَىُّ فُلَانٍ, meaning Such a one came to us in his life [-time]: and سَمِعْتُ حَىَّ فُلَانٍ يَقُولُ كَذَا, meaning I heard such a one say thus in his life [-time]: (TA:) [or the former may mean Such a one himself came to us: and the latter, I heard such a one himself say thus: for] حى [i. e. حَىّ as a prefixed noun] is sometimes redundant, like آل and ذُو: (Ham p. 308:) [and] IB says that حَىُّ فُلَانٍ means Such a one himself. (TA.) And they say, أَهْلِكَ ↓ كَيْفَ أَنْتَ وَحَيَّةُ, i. e. How art thou, and those remaining alive of thy family? (TA.) b2: Applied to God, Deathless. (Er-Rághib.) b3: Possessing the faculty of growth, as an animal, and as a plant: (Er-Rághib:) and, applied to a plant, fresh, juicy, or succulent, and growing tall. (TA.) b4: [Sensitively alive;] possessing the faculty of sensation. (Er-Rághib.) b5: (assumed tropical:) [Intellectually alive;] possessing the faculty of intellect. (Er-Rághib.) [Hence,] (assumed tropical:) A Muslim; like as مَيِّتٌ means an unbeliever. (TA.) b6: (assumed tropical:) Lively, as meaning free from grief or sorrow. (Er-Rághib.) b7: (assumed tropical:) Whole, sound, or unbroken. (L and TA in art. صأب.) b8: أَرَضٌ حَيَّةٌ (assumed tropical:) Fruitful land; or land abounding with herbage; (K, TA;) like as ارض مَيْتَةٌ means unfruitful land. (TA.) b9: الشَّمْسُ حَيَّةٌ (assumed tropical:) The sun is, or was, of a clear colour, unaltered by approaching the place of setting; as though its setting were regarded as death: (TA:) or still bright and white: or still hot and powerful: but the former of these two meanings is the more probable. (Mgh.) b10: نَارٌ حَيَّةٌ (assumed tropical:) [A live, or burning, fire. (AHn.) b11: طَرِيقٌ حَىٌّ (assumed tropical:) An apparent, or a distinct, road or way: (K:) pl. أَحْيَآءٌ. (TA.) A2: See also حَيَّةٌ, first sentence.

A3: [A tribe] of the Arabs: (S:) the children, or descendants, of one father or ancestor, whether many or few: and a شَعْب comprising قَبَائِل: (Az, TA:) or a قَبِيلَة of the Arabs: (Msb:) or a بَطْن of the بُطُون of the Arabs: (K, TA:) pl. أَحْيَآءٌ. (S, Msb, K.) A4: The vulva, or external portion of the organs of generation, of a woman. (Az, K. See also حَيَآءٌ, of which حَىٌّ is also said to be a pl.) Hence, سَعَفُ الحَىِّ, applied by an Arab of the desert to The paraphernalia of a bride. (Az, TA.) A5: لَاحَىَّ عَنْهُ means لَامَنْعَ مِنْهُ, (Ks, K, *) i. e. [There is no forbiddance of him; or] nothing is forbidden him. (Fr.) A6: لَا يَعْرِفُ الحَىَّ مِنَ اللَّىِّ He knows not, or will not know, what is true from what is false; (IAar, K, Har p. 236;) and so الحَوَّ من اللَّوِّ: (TA:) or the حَوِيَّة [or winding gut, &c.,] from the twisting of the rope: (K:) or overt speech from covert: or the living from the dead: or the act of turning round, or winding, [see حَوَاهُ, (in art. حوى,) of which حَىٌّ is an inf. n.,] from the act of twisting. (Har ubi suprà.) A7: The act of collecting. (TA. [But in this and some other senses it is an inf. n. of حَوَى: see 1 in art. حوى.]) A8: أَحْيَآءٌ as pl. of حَآءٌ: see art. حوأ.

حِىٌّ: see حَيَاةٌ, of which it is said to be a syn.: and of which it is also said to be a pl.:

A2: and see حَيَآءٌ, of which, also, it is said to be a pl.

حَيَّةٌ [A serpent;] a certain thing well known: (K, TA:) [improperly explained in the Msb as syn. with أَفْعًى:] applied to the male and the female; (S, Msb;) the ة being added to denote one of a kind, as in بَطَّةٌ and دَجَاجَةٌ; [although حَىٌّ is not used as a coll. gen. n.; and] although the saying عَلَى حَيَّةٍ ↓ رَأَيْتُ حَيًّا, as meaning [I saw] a male [serpent] upon a female [serpent], is related as having been heard from the Arabs: (S:) but ↓ حَيُّوتٌ is also applied to the male; (Az, S, K;) the ت being augmentative; for the word is originally حَيُّو [or حَيُّوٌّ]: (Az, TA:) it is said that it does not die unless by an accident: and they say of a long-lived man, مَا هُوَ إِلَّا حَيَّةٌ [He is none other than a serpent]; and in like manner they say of a woman; as though it were called حيّة because of its long life: [for] some, including Sb, say that it is derived from حَيَاةٌ, as the rel. n. is حَيَوِىٌّ, not حَوَوِىٌّ: and to him who objects that one says رَجُلٌ حَوَّآءٌ [meaning “ a man who collects serpents ”], it is replied that حَيَّةٌ and حَوَّآءٌ are of different roots, like لُؤْلُؤٌ and لَأّلٌ, &c.: but it may be from تَحَوَّى, because of its winding, or coiling, itself; and some say that it is originally حَوْيَةٌ; some, that it is originally حَيْوَةٌ: (TA:) [the dim. is ↓ حُيَيَّةٌ:] the pl. is حَيَّاتٌ (K) and حَيْوَاتٌ, (K, TA,) or حَيَوَاتٌ. (So in some copies of the K [agreeably with the dial. of Hudheyl].) Hence the prov. هُوَ أَبْصَرُ مِنْ حَيَّةٍ

[He is more sharp-sighted than a serpent]; because of the sharpness of its sight: and أَظْلَمُ مِنْ حَيَّةٍ [more wrongful in conduct than a serpent]; because it comes to the burrow of the [lizard called] ضَبّ, and eats its young one, and takes up its abode in its burrow. (TA.) and سَقَاهُ اللّٰهُ دَمَ الحَيَّاتِ [May God give him to drink the blood of the serpents]; i. e., (assumed tropical:) destroy him. (TA.) And ↓ لَا تَلِدُ الحَيَّةُ إِلَّا حُيَيَّةً [The serpent does not bring forth anything save a little serpent]: a prov. applied to the cunning and mischievous, or malignant. (TA.) And فُلَانٌ حَيَّةُ الوَادِى, or الأَرْضِ, or البَلَدِ, or الحَمَاطِ, (assumed tropical:) Such a one is cunning and mischievous, or malignant, (IAar, K,) and intelligent, in the utmost degree: (IAar:) [or] فلان حيّة الوادى means (assumed tropical:) such a one is strong in resisting, a defender of his possessions. (TA.) And حَيَّةُ الوَادِى is also an appellation applied to (assumed tropical:) The lion; (K, TA;) because of his cunning, or craftiness. (TA.) One says also, هُمْ حَيَّةُ الأَرْضِ, meaning (assumed tropical:) They are cunning, guileful, malignant, or mischievous, and strong, not neglecting to take blood-revenge: so in a saying of Dhu-l-Isba' El-'Adwánee cited voce عَذِيرٌ. (TA.) And فُلَانٌ حَيَّةٌ ذَكَرٌ (S, TA) (assumed tropical:) Such a one is courageous and strong. (TA.) and رَأْسُهُ رَأْسُ حَيَّةٍ (assumed tropical:) He is clever, or ingenious; acute, or sharp; intelligent. (TA.) And رَأَيْتُ فى كِتَابِهِ حَيَّاتِ وَعَقَارِبَ (assumed tropical:) I saw in his letter slanders, or calumnies, addressed to the ruling power, in order to cause the object thereof to fall into embarrassment from which escape would be difficult. (TA.) b2: الحَيَّةُ is also a name of (assumed tropical:) [The constellation Draco; commonly called التِّنِّينُ;] certain stars [partly] between the فَرْقَدَانِ [or B and y of Ursa Minor] and بَنَاتُ نَعْشٍ [meaning the stars in the tail of Ursa Major]: (K:) so called by way of comparison. (TA.) b3: And حَيَّةٌ also signifies (assumed tropical:) A certain mark made with a hot iron upon the neck, and upon the thigh, of a camel, twisting, or winding, like the حَيَّة [properly so called]. (Ibn-Habeeb, TA.) A2: See also حَىٌّ.

حَيًا Rain; (S, Msb, K;) as also ↓ حَيَآءٌ: (K:) or much rain: (Har p. 185:) as being the means of giving life to the earth: (TA:) and (assumed tropical:) plenty; or abundance of herbage, (S, K,) and the means of giving life to the earth and to men; as being caused by the rain; and so ↓ حَيَآءٌ: (TA:) or [simply] herbage; because produced by the rain: and fat, and fatness; because produced by the herbage: (Ham p. 662:) dual. حَيَيَانِ: (S:) and pl. أَحْيَآءٌ. (TA.) حَيَا الرَّبِيعِ means The rain [called ربيع, or of the season thus called,] that gives life to the earth. (TA.) A2: See also the next paragraph.

حَيَآءٌ an inf. n. of حَيِىَ in the first of the senses explained in this art. (K.) b2: [Hence,] syn. with حَيًا, in two senses: see the next preceding paragraph, in two places. b3: Also inf. n. of حَيِىَ as syn. with اِسْتَحْيَى; (S, * Mgh, Msb, K;) i. q. اِسْتِحْيَآءٌ; (S;) Shame; a sense of shame; shyness, or bashfulness; [and particularly, but not always, honest shame, or pudency, or modesty;] syn. حِشْمَةٌ; (K;) a shrinking of the soul from foul conduct, (Bd in ii. 24, and Er-Rághib,) through fear of blame; (Bd ibid.;) a languor that affects the animal faculty, (Bd ibid, and Mgh, *) and turns it back from its actions: (Bd:) and repentance; syn. تَوْبَةٌ. (K.) b4: And hence, as being a thing that should be concealed, and of which one is ashamed to speak plainly, (TA,) The vulva, or external portion of the female organs of generation, (فَرْج, El-Fárábee, Msb, K, or رَحِم, [which here means the same,] S,) of a camel, (El-Fárábee, S, Msb, K,) or an animal having feet like those of the camel, and of a cloven-hoofed animal, and of a beast of prey: (K:) accord. to Az, the دُبُر [here meaning the same as فَرْج] of any of these and of other animals: (Msb:) accord. to IAar, it is of the ewe or she-goat, the cow, and the gazelle: (ISd, TA:) and [sometimes] the فَرْج of a girl, (El-Fárábee, Msb,:) or of a woman: (Zj in his “ Khalk el-Insán: ” [see also حَىٌّ:]) and ↓ حَيًا signifies the same; (K;) but accord. to Az, this is not allowable except in poetry, in a case of necessity: (TA:) pl. أَحْيَآءٌ (Az, IJ, K) and أَحْيِيَةٌ (As, Sb, S, K) and, by contraction, أَحِيَّةٌ, (Sb, IB, TA,) which is said to be preferable, (TA,) and [quasi-pl. n.] ↓ حَىٌّ and ↓ حِىٌّ [which two have been mistaken by Freytag for syns. of تَحِيَّةٌ, immediately following them in the K]. (Sb, K.) حَيَاةٌ, or ↓ حَيٰوة, (as in different copies of the K, in the latter manner in copies of the S,) written with و in the Kur, to show that و follows ى in the pl. [حَيَوَاتٌ, like صَلَوَاتٌ], or because the sound of the ا is inclined towards that of و, (ISd, TA,) and ↓ حَيَوْةٌ, with sukoon to the و, (K,) which is substituted for the ا of حَيَاةٌ, as is done by the people of El-Yemen in the case of every ا that is changed from و, as in صَلَاةٌ and زَكَاةٌ, though the final radical letter of the verb of حَيَاةٌ is ى, (TA,) an inf. n. of حَيِىَ in the first of the senses explained in this art.; (IB, Mgh, Msb;) Life; contr. of مَوْتٌ; (S, K;) as also ↓ حَيَوَانٌ and ↓ حِىٌّ, (K,) or this last is asserted to be a pl. of حَيٰوةٌ, (S,) and as also ↓ مَحْيًا, (S, * Har pp. 25 and 350,) of which the pl. is مَحَاىٍ: (S:) حَيَاةٌ signifies the faculty of growth, as in an animal, and in a plant: and the faculty of sensation: and (assumed tropical:) the faculty of intellect: and (assumed tropical:) freedom from grief or sorrow: and everlasting life in the world to come; to which one attains by that حياة which is intelligence and knowledge: and the حياة that is an attribute of God. (Er-Rághib.) يَا لَيْتَنِى قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِى, in the Kur [lxxxix. 25], means [O, would that I had prepared, or laid up in store,] for my everlasting state of existence. (Er-Rághib.) And ↓ فَإِنَّ الدَّارَ الآخِرَةَ لَهِىَ الحَيَوَانُ, in the Kur [xxix. 64], means [And verily the last abode is] the abode of everlasting life: (TA:) or الحيوان here means the life that will not be followed by death: or much life; like as مَوَتَانٌ signifies much death: (Msb:) and it is also the name of a certain fountain in Paradise, [the water of] which touches nothing but it lives, by permission of God. (TA.) الحَيٰوةُ الطَّيِّبَةُ, accord. to I'Ab, explaining xvi. 99 of the Kur, (TA,) means Lawful means of subsistence (K, TA) in the present world: (TA:) or Paradise. (K, TA.) b2: Also (assumed tropical:) Advantage, or profit; or a cause, or means, thereof: whence the saying, لَيْسَ لِفُلَانٍ حَيَاةٌ There is not, in such a one, profit, nor good: and so it is said to mean in the Kur [ii. 175], وَلَكُمْ فِى القِصَاصِ حَيٰوةٌ (assumed tropical:) [And there is to you, in retaliation, an advantage]: (TA:) or this means that the knowledge of the law of retaliation restrains from slaughter, and so is a cause of life to two persons; and because they used to slay one who was not the slayer, retaliation upon the slayer is a cause of saving the lives of the rest: or the meaning is life in the world to come; for when the slayer has suffered retaliation in the present world, he is not punished for his act in the world to come. (Bd.) b3: حَيَاةُ الشَّمْسِ means (assumed tropical:) The remaining of the light and whiteness of the sun: or the remaining of its heat and power: but the former of these two meanings is the more probable. (Mgh. [See الشَّمْسُ حَيَّةٌ, voce حَىٌّ.]) حَيٰوةٌ and حَيَوْةٌ: see the next preceding paragraph.

حَيِىٌّ Having حَيَآء [i. e. shame, shyness, bashfulness, pudency, or modesty]; (K;) part. n. of حَيِىَ as syn. with استحيى; of the measure فَعِيلٌ: (Msb:) fem. حَيِيَّةٌ. (TA.) The saying of I'Ab, اَللّٰهُ حَيِىٌّ, means God is one who acts with others in the manner of him who has حَيَآء; for حَيَآء in its proper sense is not ascribable to Him: (Mgh:) or one who leaves undone evil deeds, and does good deeds. (Er-Rághib.) حُيَىٌّ: see حَىٌّ, of which it is the dim.

حُيَيَّةٌ: see حَيَّةٌ, (of which it is the dim.,) in two places.

A2: And dim. of حَآءٌ, q. v. in art. حوأ. (Lth, TA in باب الالف الليّنة.) حَيَوِىٌّ [Of, or relating to, the serpent;] rel. n. of حَيَّةٌ. (S.) A2: [And rel. n. of حَا: see حَائِىٌّ in art. حوأ.]

حَيَوَانٌ an inf. n. of حَيِىَ, like حَيَاةٌ, (IB,) but having an intensive signification: (Msb:) see حَيَاةٌ, in two places. b2: See also حَىٌّ, first sentence. b3: Also Any thing, or things, possessing animal life, (Msb, K, *) whether rational or irrational; [an animal, and animals;] used alike as sing. and pl., because originally an inf. n.; (Msb;) contr. of مَوَتَانٌ [q. v.]. (S.) [حَيَوَانَاتٌ is used as its pl. of pauc. And hence,] الحَيَوَانَاتُ الخَمْسُ [The five animals] is applied to what may be killed by a person in the state of إِحْرَام, and by one engaged in prayer: (Msb in art. فسق:) these are the rat, or mouse, and the biting dog, and either the serpent, the crow termed أَبْقَع, and the kite, or the serpent, the scorpion, and the kite, or the serpent, the scorpion, and the crow, or the scorpion, the crow, and the kite. (Es-Suyootee, in “ El-Jámi' es-Sagheer,” voce خَمْسٌ.) It is originally حَيَيَانٌ; (Sb, K, TA;) the ى which is the final radical letter being changed into و because the occurrence of two ى together is disliked: (Sb, TA:) Aboo-'Othmán [El-Má- zinee] holds the و to be a radical letter; but his opinion is said to be not admissible, because it is asserted that there is no instance in the language of a word of which the medial radical is ى, and the final و. (TA.) حَيَوَانِىٌّ [Of, or relating to, an animal or animals]. b2: It is [also] particularly applied to A seller of birds. (TA.) حَيَوَانِيَّةٌ Animality; or animal nature.]

حَيُّوتٌ: see حَيَّةٌ.

حَاىٍ, of the measure فَاعِلٌ, [said to be] originally حَايِوٌ, is syn. with حَاوٍ and حَوَّآءٌ, belonging to art. حوى [q. v.]. (Az, TA.) أُحَىُّ and أُحَىٌّ and أُحَىٍّ: see art. حو.

أُحَيْوٍ: see art. حو.

أَحْيَى in the saying أَحْيَى مِنْ ضَبٍّ [More longlived than a ضبّ, a kind of lizard, which is supposed to live seven hundred years,] is from الحَيَاةُ. (TA.) b2: In the sayings أَحْيَى مِنْ هَدِىٍّ [More shy, or bashful, than the bride] and أَحْيَى مِنْ مُخَدَّرَةٍ [More shy, or bashful, than a girl kept behind the curtain] it is from الحَيَآءُ. (TA.) تِحْيَاةٌ: see the next paragraph.

التَّحَايِى The two stars in the foot and before the foot of the foremost of Gemini: (Kzw:) or three stars over against الهَنْعَة [which is the Sixth Mansion of the Moon]; (IKt, K;) and sometimes the moon deviates from الهنعة, and makes its abode in التحايى: (IKt:) they are between the Milky Way and the stars that follow العَيُّوق [or Capella]: Aboo-Ziyád El-Kilábee used to say that this name means الهنعة, and is also pronounced التَّحَائِى, withء: but AHn says that the moon makes its abode in these stars, and not in الهنعة itself: (TA:) its sing. is ↓ تِحْيَاةٌ; (IKt, AHn, TA;) if so, of the measure تِفْعَلَةٌ, like تِحْلَبَةٌ, not فِعْلَاةٌ, like عِزْهَاةٌ, because there is no such root as تَحى; derived from الحَيَا, because its نَوْء [here meaning its auroral setting, in midwinter,] is attended with much rain: but التحائى, with ء, is irreg.; as though pl. of ↓ تَحِيَّةٌ likened to a word of the measure فَعِيلَةٌ. (IB.) تَحِيَّةٌ inf. n. of 2. (Mgh, Msb, K.) b2: Also A salutation, or greeting, (A'Obeyd, AHeyth, Mgh, Msb,) pronounced by one person to another on their meeting; (AHeyth;) particularly the saying سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكَ; (Mgh, * Msb;) and the like; (Mgh;) the most comprehensive form thereof, used by the believer [to his fellow-believer], being the saying السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللّٰهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ: (AHeyth:) hence it is pluralized; the pl. being تَحِيَّاتٌ and تَحَايَا. (Mgh.) b3: Also Continuance, or endurance; or endless, or everlasting, existence: (IAar, Msb, K, &c.:) and so it is said to mean in the following verse of Zuheyr Ibn-Jenáb ElKelbee; who was a [kind of] king among his people: قَدْ نِلْتُهُ إِلَّا التَّحِيَّهْ وَلَكُلُّ مَا نَالَ الفَتَى

[And indeed everything that the young man has attained, I have attained it, except endless existence]: or, as some say, it here means security from death and from evils. (TA. [But more probably the meaning is that next following: for in the Mz, 49th نوع, where this verse is cited, but with مِنْ كُلِّ in the place of وَلَكُلُّ, he is said to have been (not a king, but,) “ a nobleman. ” See also, respecting him, p. x. of my Preface.]) and (tropical:) Dominion, or kingship: (Fr, AA, S, Mgh, Msb, K, &c.:) because the people of the Time of Ignorance used to greet kings [or rather those of Himyer] by the saying أَبَيْتَ الَّعْنَ, which they addressed to none other than a king; so that when any one of them became a king, it was said of him, فُلَانٌ نَالَ التَّحِيَّةَ [meaning (tropical:) Such a one has attained the kingship]. (Mgh: in which, and in the S, the foregoing verse is cited as an ex. of this last meaning.) التَّحِيَّاتُ لِلّٰهِ means Endless existence belongs to God: (Lth, Msb, TA:) or dominion, or kingship: (Lth, Yaakoob, S, Msb, TA:) or freedom, or security, from all evils, (Khálid Ibn-Yezeed, AHeyth,) and from all causes of the cessation of existence: (AHeyth:) or endless existence, and security from evils, and dominion, and the like: (Fr:) or the expressions [of praise] that indicate and imply the ascription of dominion and endless existence: (KT:) or salutations and benedictions are Gods, and at his disposal. (Mgh.) [التَّحِيَّاتُ is also a term applied to the following form of words repeated in the ordinary prayers: التَّحِيَّاتُ لِلّٰهِ وَالصَّلَوَاتُ وَالطَّيِّبَاتُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَاأَيُّهَا النَّبِىُّ وَرَحْمَةُ اللّٰهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى عِبَادِ اللّٰهِ الصَّالِحِينَ

أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَاهَ إِلَّا اللّٰهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ, or (instead of عبده ورسوله) رَسُولُ اللّٰهِ: see 5 in art. شهد.] b4: The assigning to this word, as used in the Kur iv. 88, the meaning of A gift is a mistake. (Mgh.) A2: See also التَّحَايِى.

مَحْيًا: see حَيَاةٌ. b2: Also A time, and a place, of life. (TA.) مُحْىٍ and مُحْيِيَةٌ, applied to a she-camel, Having living offspring; whose offspring seldom, or never, die. (S.) مُحَيًّا The face (S, K, Ham p. 23) of a man, because it is specified in salutation; [see 2;] (Ham ubi suprá;) a term used only in praise; (Ham p. 640;) i. e. the face altogether: or the حُرّ of the face [i. e. the ball of the cheek; or what appears of the elevated part thereof; or what fronts one, of the face, &c.]. (K.) b2: Of a horse, it is The place where the flesh is separated (حيث انفرق اللحم) beneath the forelock. (Ham p. 23.) And دَائِرَةُ المُحَيَّا, in a horse, [The feather in] the place of separation [of the hair] beneath the forelock, in the upper part of the forehead. (TA.) محَيِّىٌ act. part. n. of 2; fem. مُحَيِّيَةٌ: (S, TA:) for in every noun in which three ىs occur together, [the last of them being the final radical, and ending the word,] if it is not formed from a verb, the final radical letter is elided from it, as in عُطَىٌّ the dim. of عَطَآءٌ, and in أُحَىُّ the dim. of أَحْوَى: but if it is formed from a verb, that letter remains, as in مُحَيِّىٌ from حَيَّى. (S.) أَرْضٌ مَحْيَاةٌ i. q. مَحْوَاةٌ, i. e. A land containing serpents: (Ibn-Es-Sarráj, S:) or abounding with serpents. (TA in art. حوى.) أَبُو يَحْيَى Death. (TA, Har p. 218.)

عس

ى1 عَسَى is [said by some to be] one of the verbs of appropinquation, implying eager desire, or hope, and fear, and not perfectly inflected, for it is applied in the form of the preterite to that which occurs in the present: one says عَسَى زَيْدٌ

أَنْ يَخْرُجَ [meaning, accord. to what has been said above, Zeyd is near to going forth, though generally otherwise expl., as will be shown in what follows], and عَسَتْ فُلَانَةُ أَنْ تَخْرُجَ [Such a woman is near to going forth]; زَيْدٌ being the agent of عَسَى, and أَنْ يَخْرُجَ being its objective complement and meaning الخُرُوجَ: and one says also, عَسَيْتُ أَنْ أَفْعَلَ ذَاكَ [as meaning, accord. to what here precedes, I am near to doing that], and عَسِيتُ, with kesr, agreeably with readings [in the Kur xlvii. 24], فَهَلْ عَسِيتُمْ and عَسَيْتُمْ, with kesr and fet-h; and one says to a woman, عَسَيْتِ أَنْ تَفْعَلِى ذَاكَ; and [to women,] عَسَيْتُنَّ; but one does not use the form يَفْعَلُ thereof, nor the form فَاعِلٌ; (S;) both of which [however] are memtioned [as used] by the author of the “ Insáf: ” (I 'Ak p. 88:) [or, accord. to Fei,] عَسَى is a preterite verb, [used in the sense of the present,] aplastic, not perfectly inflected, of the verbs of appropinquation, implying hope, and eager desire, and sometimes opinion, and certainty; and it is incomplete [i. e. non-attributive], and complete [i. e. attributive]: the incomplete has for its predicate an aor. mansoob by means of أَنْ, as in the saying, عَسَى زَيْدٌ أَنْ يَقُومَ, meaning قَارَبَ زَيْدٌ القِيَامَ [Zeyd is near to standing], the predicate being an objective complement or having the meaning of an objective complement: or, as some say, the meaning is لَعَلَّ زَيْدًا أَنْ يَقُومَ, i. e. [virtually, but not literally,] I eagerly desire, or I hope, that Zeyd may be performing the act of standing: [but see عَلَّ and لَعَلَّ in art. عل, as well as what follows in this paragraph after the explanation of the next ex.:] the complete is such as occurs in the saying, عَسَى أَنْ يَقُومَ زَيْدٌ [meaning, accord. to what is said above, Zeyd's standing is near to being a fact]; the agent being literally a phrase composed of a subject and an attribute because أَنْ is here what is termed مَصْدَرِيَّة [so that أَنْ يَقُومَ زَيْدٌ is equivalent to قِيَامُ زَيْدٍ]: (Msb:) b2: [in the MA and PS and TK &c., عَسَى is expl. as meaning It may be that; and this, or simply may-be, or may-hap, or perhaps, I regard as the preferable rendering; as being virtually the meaning in all cases: for عَسَى زَيْدٌ أَنْ يَقُومَ, in which it is used as an incomplete verb, however it may be rendered, virtually means It may be that Zeyd is, or will be, standing; or may-be Zeyd &c.: and عَسَى أَنْ يَقُومَ زَيْدٌ, in which it is used as a complete verb, virtually means the same, though more properly rendered Zeyd's standing may be a fact: its usages are various, and have occasioned much dispute respecting its grammatical character and its meaning or meanings; as will be shown by what here follows:] b3: it is [said to be] a verb unrestrictedly, or a particle unrestrictedly: (K:) [but this statement seems to have originated from a mistranscription: IHsh says,] it is a verb unrestrictedly: not a particle unrestrictedly, contrary to the opinion of Ibn-Ks-Sarráj and Th; nor when it has an affixed pronoun, as in عَسَاكَ, contrary to an opinion of Sb, ascribed to him by Seer: (Mughnee:) it denotes hope in the case of that which is liked, and fear in the case of that which is disliked; as in the saying in the Kur [ii. 213], وَعَسَى أَنْ تَكْرَهُوا شَيْئًا وَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ وَعَسَى

أَنْ تُحِبُّوا شَيْئًا وَهُوَ شَرٌّ لَكُمْ [But it may be that ye dislike a thing when it is good for you, and it may be that ye like a thing when it is evil for you]: (Mughnee, K: *) b4: it is used in various ways; one of which is the saying, عَسَى زَيْدٌ أَنْ يَقُومَ [mentioned above], respecting the analysis of which there are different opinions: that of the generality is, that it is like كَانَ زَيْدٌ يَقُومُ [inasmuch as عسى is here an incomplete verb]; but this is deemed dubious, because the predicate [أَنْ يَقُومَ] is rendered by an inf. n., and the subject [زَيْدٌ] is a substance; to which several replies have been made; one being that a prefixed noun is meant to be understood, either before the subject, so that the meaning is, عَسَى أَمْرُ زَيْدٍ القِيَامُ [It may be that the case of Zeyd is, or will be, the performing of the act of standing], or before the predicate, so that the meaning is عَسَى زَيْدٌ صَاحِبُ القِيَامِ [It may be that Zeyd is, or will be, the performer of the act of standing]; and another reply is, that it is of the class of زَيْدٌ عَدْلٌ and صَوْمٌ [meaning عَادِلٌ and صَائِمٌ, for أَنْ يَقُومَ is equivalent to an inf. n., and an inf. n. may be used in the sense of an act. part. n.]; and another is, that أَنْ is here redundant, which reply is [said to be] nought, because ان has rendered the aor. ansoob, and because it seldom falls out [from the phrase, though it should be remarked that لَعَلَّ, which is said in the Mughnee to be like عَسَى in meaning, is generally followed by a simple aor. and sometimes by أَنْ and an aor. ]: another opinion respecting the analysis of the phrase is, that عَسَى is a trans. verb, like قَارَبَ in meaning and in government, [agreeably with the explanations mentioned above from the S and Msb,] or intrans. like قَرُبَ مِنْ with the preposition suppressed; and this is the opinion of Sb and Mbr: the opinion of the generality is, that it is an incomplete verb [like كَانَ in the phrase كَانَ زَيْدٌ يَقُومُ, mentioned above], and that أَنْ and the verb following it compose a substitute of implication supplying what is wanting in the two preceding portions of the sentence: b5: the second way of using it is, the making it to have أَنْ and the verb following this for its object, [as in عَسَى أَنْ يَقُومَ زَيْدٌ, mentioned above], so that it is a complete verb: b6: the third and fourth and fifth are when it is followed by a simple aor. [being in this case likened to كَادَ, (S, K, * TA.)] or an aor. with س prefixed, or a single noun; as in عَسَى زَيْدٌ يَقُومُ [It may be that Zeyd stands, or will stand] and عَسَى زَيْدٌ سَيَقُومُ [It may be that Zeyd will stand] and عَسَى زَيْدٌ قَائِمٌ [It may be that Zeyd is standing]; the first whereof is one of which there are few exs., such as the saying, عَسَى الكَرْبُ الَّذِى أَمْسَيْتَ فِيهِ يَكُونُ وَرَآءَهُ فَرَجٌ قَرِيبُ [It may be that the state of anxiety in which thou hast become (or, as some relate it, أَمْسَيْتُ i. e. I hare become,) is such that after it will be a near removal thereof]; and the third is one of which there are fewer exs., [and which is said in the S to be not allowable,] such as the saying, أَكْثَرْتَ فِى العَذْلِ مُلِحًّا دَائِمَا لَا تُكْثِرَنْ إِنِّى عَسِيتُ صَائِمَا [or, as some relate it, عَسَيْتُ, which is more common, i. e. Thou hast been profuse in censuring, persisting constantly: be not thou profuse: verily it may be that I am, or shall be, abstaining]; and as to the prov., عَسَى الغُوَيْرُ أَبْؤُسًا [expl. in art. بأس, and of which it is said in the K that the verb therein is used in the manner of كَانَ, and in the S that the phrase is extr., that ابؤسا is there put in the place of the predicate, and that there sometimes occurs in provs. what does not occur elsewhere], the right opinion is that يَكُونُ is suppressed before ابؤسا; and [in the latter of the two verses cited above] أَكُونُ is suppressed before صائما; because thus the primary usage is preserved, and because what is hoped is the person's being an abstainer, not the abstainer him-self; and as to the second of the three modes of using عَسَى last mentioned above, with س prefixed to the aor. , it is very extr.: b7: the sixth way of using it is the saying عَسَانِى and عَسَاكَ and عَسَاهُ, which is rare: in this case, accord. to Sb, it is used in the manner of لَعَلَّ, as governing the subject in the accus. case, and the predicate in the nom.; the predicate being sometimes expressed, in the nom. case, as in the saying, فَقُلْتُ عَسَاهَا نَارُ كَأْسٍ وَعَلَّهَا تَشَكَّى فَآتِى نَحْوَهَا فَأَعُودُهَا [And I said, May-be it is the fire of Ka-s, (for I suppose that كأس is here a proper name, that of a woman, daughter of El-Kelhabeh El-'Oranee,) and perhaps she has a complaint, (تَشَكَّى being for تَبَشَكَّى,) so I will come towards her, and visit her]: b8: the seventh way is the saying, عَسَى زَيْدٌ قَائِمٌ, mentioned by Th; which is to be explained on the ground that عسى is here an incomplete verb, and that its subject is the ضَمِيرُ الشَّأْنِ [i. e.

إِنَّهُ is suppressed, the meaning being, It may be that the case is this, Zeyd is standing], the nominal proposition being the predicate. (Mughnee. [Several other statements in that work, respecting عَسَى, I have omitted, as being refuted therein, or as being of little or no importance.]) b9: It also denotes opinion, (Msb,) or doubt, (K, TA,) and certainty: (Msb, K, TA:) the last is meant in the saying of Ibn-Mukbil, ظَنِّى بِهِمْ كَعَسَى وَهُمْ بِتَنُوفَةٍ

يَتَنَازَعُونَ جَوَائِزَ الأَمْثَالِ [My opinion of them is like an expression of certainty while they, in a desert, or in a desert destitute of water or of herbage and water, &c., are contending in reciting current proverbs instead of attending to the wants of themselves and their camels]. (S, TA.) b10: As uttered by God, it is expressive of an event of necessary occurrence, (S, K,) in the whole of the Kur-án, except the saying, [in lxvi. 5,] عَسَى رَبُّهُ إِنْ طّلَّقَكُنَّ أَنْ يُبْدِلَهُ

أَزْوَاجًا خَيْرًا مِنْكُنَّ [It may be that his Lord, if he divorce you, will give him in exchange wives better than you]. (S.) b11: هَلْ عَسَيْتُمْ with what follows it, in the Kur [ii. 247], means [virtually] Are ye near to fleeing? (K:) some read thus; and some, عَسِيتُمْ. (TA.) A2: عَسِىَ النَّبَاتُ [erroneously written in the CK عَسَى]: see the first sentence in art. عسو.4 أَعْسِ بِهِ means How well adapted or disposed, or how apt, meet, suited, suitable, fitted, fit, competent, or proper, or how worthy, is he! (Lh, K, TA.) بِالعَسَى أَنْ تَفْعَلَ means بِالحَرَى [i. e. It is suitable, fit, or proper, that thou shouldst do such a thing]. (K. [In the CK, and likewise in the TK, erroneously, بالعَسِىِّ and بالحَرِىِّ.]) A2: عَسًا: see art. عسو.

هُوَ عَسٍ بِهِ: see what next follows.

هُوَ عَسِىٌّ بِهِ He is adapted or disposed by nature, apt, meet, suited, suitable, fitted, fit, competent, proper, or worthy, for it or of it; as also ↓ عَسٍ

بِهِ: (K, TA:) but one should not say عَسًى. (TA.) [See also مَعْسَاةٌ.]

عَاسٍ: see art. عسو.

مِعْسَآءٌ A girl thought to have attained puberty: (Lh, TA:) or a girl near to attaining puberty. (K.) مَعْسَاةٌ is from عَسَى, like مَئِنَّةٌ from إِنَّ: you say, هُوَ مَعْسَاةٌ لِلْخَيْرِ, meaning He is a person (مَحَلٌّ) [fit, or proper,] for one's saying of him, عَسَى أَنْ يَفْعَلَ خَيْرًا [It may be that he will do good]: (A and TA in art. ان:) and إِنَّهُ لَمَعْسَاةٌ بِكَذَا, meaning مَخْلَقَةٌ [i. e. Verily he is adapted or disposed by nature, apt, meet, suited, &c., for such a thing]: (K, TA:) and in like manner, without variation, it is used in speaking of a female, and of two persons, and of a pl. number. (TA.) مُعْسِيَةٌ A she-camel of which one doubts whether there be in her milk or not: (IAar, K, TA:) or whose milk has stopped and it is hoped that it will return. (Er-Rághib, TA.)

عظلم

Q. 2 تَعَظْلَمَ, [from عِظْلِمٌ as signifying a certain plant or dye,] said of the night, It was, or became, dark, and very black; (K, TA;) i. e. it became like the عِظْلِم. (TA.) عِظْلِمٌ, (S, Msb, K,) of which عَظْلَمٌ is a dial. var., (MF, TA,) The expressed juice of a species of tree or plant, (Az, K, TA,) the colour of which is like نِيل [or indigo], green (أَخْضَر) inclining to duskiness: (Az, TA:) or a certain plant, (S, K,) or thing, (Msb,) with which one dyes, (S, Msb, K,) said to be (Msb) called in Pers\. نِيل [i. e. the indigo-plant]: (Msb, and so in some copies of the S; other copies of which, for نيل, have تفل:) or i. q. وَسْمَةٌ [an appellation now applied to woad; as is also عِظْلِم]: (S, Msb, K:) AHn says, one of the Arabs of the desert told me that the عظلم is the male وَسْمَة: he also says that it is a small tree or plant, (شُجَيْرَةٌ), of the [class called] رِبَّة, that grows in a late season, and the greenness of which is lasting: and in one place he says, an Arab of the desert, of the Saráh (السَّرَاة), told me that the عِظْلِمَة [which is the n. un.] is a tree or plant (شَجَرَةٌ) that rises upon a stem about a cubit [in height] and has branches at the extremities of which are what resemble the blossoms of the كُزْبَرَة [or coriander], and it (the tree or plant) is dustcoloured: (TA:) some say that it is the بِقَّم [or Brazil-wood]: (Msb:) MF says, it is the خَطْمِىّ [or marsh-mallow]: (TA:) thus says El-Hareeree; but El-'Okbaree says that it is not that: (Har p. 625:) and some say that it is a certain red dye. (TA.) Hence the prov., بَيْضَآءُ لَايُدْجِى سَنَاهَا العِظْلِمُ i. e. [A white, or fair, female,] whose whiteness [or brightness] عظلم will not blacken [or darken]: applied to that which is notable, which nothing will conceal. (Meyd, TA.) b2: Hence, as being likened thereto, (S,) it signifies also The dark night: (S, K:) one says لَيْلٌ عِظْلِمٌ. (TA.) عَظْلَمَةٌ Darkness. (K.) عِظْلَامٌ Dust; syn. قَتَرَةٌ and غَبَرَةٌ. (K.)

درهم

Q. 1 دَرْهَمَتْ, said of the خُبَازَى [or mallow], (K, TA,) It became round [in its leaves]; (TA;) its leaves became like [the silver coins called]

دَرَاهِم. (K.) Q. 4 اِدْرَهَمَّ, (S, K,) inf. n. اِدْرِهْمَامٌ, (S,) He (a man, TA) became aged: (K, TA:) or he (an old man) tottered (سَقَطَ) by reason of age. (S, TA.) b2: ادرهمّ بَصَرَهُ His sight became dim, or obscure. (K.) دِرْهَمٌ, (S, Mgh, Msb, K,) of the measure فِعْلَلٌ, (Msb, MF,) of which it has been said that there are only three other instances, but there are many more; (MF;) an arabicized word, (S, Msb,) from the Pers\. [دِرَمْ]; (S;) also pronounced ↓ دِرْهِمٌ, (S, Msb, K,) but this is of rare occurrence; (TA;) and ↓ دِرْهَامٌ, (S, K,) which is more rare; (TA;) A certain silver coin; (Mgh, Msb;) like as دِينَارٌ signifies a certain gold coin: (Mgh:) [and the weight thereof; i. e. a drachm, or dram:] its weight is six دَوَانِيق [or dániks]; (Msb, and K in art. مك;) i. e., the weight of the دِرْهَم إِسْلَامِىّ: but in the Time of Ignorance, some dirhems were light, being four دوانيق; and these were called طَبَرِيَّةٌ: and some were heavy, being eight دوانيق; and these were called عَبْدِيَّةٌ, or بَغْلِيَّةٌ: and of these two they made two that were equal; so that each درهم was six دوانيق: this is said to have been done by 'Omar: or, accord. to another account, some dirhems were of the weight of twenty carats, and were called the weight of ten [i. e. of ten dániks]; and some were of the weight of ten [carats], and were called the weight of five; and some were of the weight of twelve [carats], and were called the weight of six; and they put the three weights together, and called the third part thereof the weight of seven: and one of the weights of the درهم before El-Islám was twelve carats, which is six دوانيق: but the درهم اسلامىّ is sixteen carats; the دانق of this being a carat and two thirds: (Msb:) or dirhems should be fourteen carats [i. e. seven dániks]; ten being of the weight of seven مَثَاقِيل [or mithkáls]: in the Time of Ignorance, some were heavy, [equal to] مثاقيل; and some were light, [called]

طَبَرِيَّةٌ; and when they were coined in the age of El-Islám, they made of the heavy and the light two dirhems, so that ten became equal to seven مثاقيل: A 'Obeyd says that this was done in the time [of the dynasty] of the sons of Umeiyeh: (El-Karkhee, cited in the Mgh:) [see also De Sacy's “ Chrest. Arabe,” sec. ed., vol. ii. p. 110 of the Arabic text, and p. 282 of the transl.; where it is further stated, on the authority of Ibn-Khaldoon, that the دِرْهَم مَغْرِبِىّ was three دوانيق; and the يَمَنِىّ, one دانق; and, as is said in the Msb, that 'Omar adopted the mean between the بغلىّ and the طبرىّ, making the درهم to be six:] the pl. (of درهم, S) is دَرَاهِمُ and (of درهام, S) دَرَاهِيمُ. (S, K.) [The former of these pls. is often used as signifying Money, cash, or coin, in an absolute sense.] The dim. is ↓ دُرَيْهِمٌ and ↓ دُرَيْهِيمٌ: the latter held by Sb to be anomalous; for he says that it is as though it were formed from دِرْهَامٌ, though this was not used by them. (TA.) b2: Hence, as being likened thereto, [i. e., to the coin thus called,] (TA,) دِرْهَمٌ signifies also (assumed tropical:) A حَدِيقَة [app. as meaning a round piece of land surrounded by a fence or the like, or by elevated land; for this is one of the significations of حَدِيقَةٌ]. (K.) [It is said that] this is taken from the saying of 'Antarah, [describing shower of copious rain,] فَتَرَكْنَ كُلَّ حَدِيقَةٍ كَالدِّرْهَمِ [So that they left every ridged-round spot of ground like the درهم]. (TA.) [But accord. to one reading, he said, كُلَّ قَرَارَةٍ; meaning, as is said in the EM, p. 227, “every round hollow; ” and likening such a hollow to the درهم because of its roundness, and the clearness and whiteness of its water.]

مُدَرْهَمٌ A man possessing many دَرَاهِم: (Az, K:) it has no verb: (TA:) you should not say دُرْهِمَ. (Az, K.) مُدْرَهِمٌّ An old man tottering (سَاقِطٌ) by reason of age. (S, K.)
