حرش

1 حَرَشَ الضَّبَّ, (S, A, K,) aor. ـِ inf. n. حَرْشٌ (S, K) and تَحْرَاشٌ, (K,) He hunted, or sought to capture or catch, or captured or caught, the [lizard called] ضبّ; syn. صَادَهُ; (S, A, K;) by moving about his hand at its hole, (S, K,) at the entrance thereof, (K,) in order that it might imagine it to be a serpent, and put forth its tail to strike it, whereupon he would seize it; (S, K;) as also ↓ احترشهُ: (A, K:) or, as also ↓ احترشهُ, and ↓ تحرّشهُ, and بِهِ ↓ تحرّش, he traced its hole, and made a noise with his staff, or stick, at it, and inserted the end of this into the hole, and the ضبّ, hearing the sound, thought it to be a beast desiring to come in upon it, so it came backwards upon its feet and kinder part, fighting, and striking with its tail, whereupon the man hastened with it, and seized it firmly by its tail, and it was unable to escape from him. (TA.) And hence, He hunted, or sought to capture, or captured, the ضبّ in any manner. (Ham p. 61.) Hence also the saying, لَهُوَ أَخْبَثُ مِنْ ضَبٍّ حَرَشْتَهُ [Verily he is worse than a ضبّ which thou hast hunted]: for sometimes the ضبّ scents [its pursuer], and circumvents [him], and cannot be caught. (TA.) And hence the prov., alluding to one's discoursing to a learned man with the desire of instructing him, أَتُعْلِمُنِى بِضَبٍّ

أَنَا حَرَشْتُهُ [Dost thou acquaint me with a ضبّ which I have captured?]. (A 'Obeyd, Az.) Hence also the prov., هٰذَاأَجَلُّ مِنَ الحَرْشِ [This is a greater matter than the hunting, or capturing, of the ضبّ]: (M, A, K:) originating in one of their fables, to the effect that a ضبّ said to its young one, “O my little son, beware thou of الحَرْش: ” and the young one heard, one day, the fall of a digging-implement upon the mouth of the hole; so he said, “O my father, is this الحَرْش? ” to which his father answered, “O my little son, this is a greater matter than الحَرْش: ” (M, K: *) and it became a prov., which is applied to him who fears a thing and falls into that which is more severe. (M.) [Hence also the saying,] ضَبَّ العَدَاوَةِ بَيْنَهُمْ ↓ اِحْتَرَشَ (tropical:) [He roused the rancour of enmity between them]. (TA.) b2: حَرَشَهُ, (S, K,) aor. ـِ (K,) inf. n. حَرْشٌ (S, K) and تَحْرَاشٌ, (K,) signifies also He scratched him with the nails; or wounded him in the outer skin; (S, K;) and so خَرَشَهُ, with خ. (S.) b3: Both also signify It (a fly) bit him. (TA in art. خرش.) b4: And حَرَشَ البَعِيرَ He scratched, or rubbed, the غَارِب [or withers] of the camel with his staff, or stick, to make him go. (TA.) b5: And He scratched, or rubbed, the camel so as to abrade the upper skin, and make it bleed; whereupon it is smeared with هِنَآء [or tar]; as also خَرَشَهُ. (TA.) A2: حَرَشَ بَيْنَ القَوْمِ; &c.: see 2, in two places.

A3: حَرِشَ, aor. ـَ inf. n. حَرْشٌ, He deceived, beguiled, or circumvented; syn. خَدَعَ: and ↓ احترش signifies the same; or nearly the same; i. e. he endeavoured to deceive, beguile, or circumvent; syn. of the inf. n. خِدَاعٌ. (TA.) 2 حَرَّشَ بَيْنَ القَوْمِ, inf. n. تَحْرِيشٌ; (S, * A, * K, * TA;;) and بَيْنَهُمْ ↓ حَرَشَ, (A, TA, *) inf. n. حَرْشٌ; (TA;) He excited discord, dissension, disorder, strife, quarrelling, or animosity, between, or among, the people; (S, * A, * K, * TA;) and (so in the S, but in the K “ or ”) بَيْنَ الكِلَابِ between, or among, the dogs; (S, K;) and البَهَائِمِ the beasts; exciting, or provoking, them, one against another; as is done with camels, and rams, and cocks, &c.; the doing of which is forbidden in a trad.; (TA;) or حَرْشٌ and تَحْرِيشٌ signify one's inciting a man, and a lion, to attack his adversary; (TA;) and مُحَارَشَةٌ and حِرَاشٌ [inf. ns. of ↓ حَارَشَ] are syn. with تَحْرِيشٌ [in the last of the senses above]; as also مُهَارَشَةٌ and هِرَاشٌ: (TA in art. هرش, q. v.:) you say, حَرَّشَهُ [and ↓ حَرَشَهُ, meaning, he incited him, &c.; or rather, he exasperated him; app. from حَرشٌ or or حُرْشَةٌ, signifying “ roughness ”]. (Az, S in art. ذأر.) b2: [Hence, app.,] تَحْرِيشٌ also signifies The mentioning a thing that renders reproof necessary. (TA.) 3 حارش الضَّبُّ الأَفْعَى The ضبّ fought with the viper, the latter desiring to come in upon him. (TA.) b2: See also 2.4 احرش الهِنَآءُ البَعِيرَ [app. originally signifying The tar made the camel to scratch: and hence meaning,] the tar made the camel to break out with small pustules; syn. بَثَّرَهُ: (K:) or excoriated him, and made him to bleed. (Ibn-'Abbád.) 5 تحرّشهُ and تحرّش بِهِ: see حَرَشَ الضَّبَّ.

بقر

1 بَقَرَ, (S, K, &c.,) aor. ـُ (JK, S, A, Mgh, Msb,) or ـَ (K,) [but this seems to be a mistake,] inf. n. بَقْرٌ, (S, Msb,) He slit; ripped; split; cut, or divided, lengthwise. (S, Msb, K, &c.) He slit, or ripped open, an animal's belly. (A, Mgh.) One says, اُبْقُرْهَا عَنْ جَنِينِهَا Rip thou open her [a camel's] belly so as to disclose her fœtus. (S.) [See بَقِيرٌ.] b2: He opened, or laid open. (S, A, Msb.) b3: He widened; made wide, or ample. (S, K.) b4: He opened, and widened, or made wide, a house, or tent. (TA, from a trad.) b5: He opened and revealed to a person a story. (TA, from a trad.) b6: بَقَرَ الأَرْضَ said of a هُدْهُد [or hoopoe], It looked for the place of water and saw it: (K:) [or it clave the ground and discovered water:] occurring in a trad. respecting the هدهد of Solomon [mentioned in the Kur ch. xxvii.] (T.) b7: بَقَرَ فِى بَنِى فُلَانٍ He knew the state, condition, case, or affair, of the sons of such a one, and examined, or inspected, them. (K.) b8: بَقَرَ عَنِ العُلُومِ He inquired, and searched to the utmost, after sciences. (A.) b9: بَقَرَ العِلْمَ: see 5.

A2: بَقِرَ, aor. ـَ He (a dog) became confounded, (S, K,) and stupified, (TA,) with joy, (K,) at seeing بَقَر, (S, K,) i. e., بَقَر الوَحْش [wild oxen, or wild bulls or cows]; (TA;) like as one says غَزِلَ meaning “ he sported,” or “ played,”

“ at seeing a gazelle,” or “ a young gazelle; ” as also ↓ بَيْقَرَ: or the former, he feared, so that he was astonished, amazed, or stupified, at seeing many بَقَر: (TA voce بَحِزَ:) and ↓ the latter signifies also [simply] he became confounded, or perplexed: (IAar, TA:) and he doubted respecting a thing. (K.) b2: Also, aor. as above, inf. n. بَقَرٌ (S, K) and بَقْرٌ; (K;) but Az says, El-Mundhiree has informed me that A Heyth disallowed بَقْرٌ, saying that it is accord. to analogy بَقَرٌ, as the verb is intrans.; (TA;) He (a man) became tired, or fatigued, (S, K,) so that he could hardly see; (K;) and he became weary, or jaded; (S, K;) as also ↓ بَيْقَرَ.

العِلْمِ [He enlarged himself, or took a wide range, in science, or knowledge]; (S, A, Msb;) and العِلْمَ ↓ بَقَرَ, inf. n. بَقْرٌ, signifies the same. (TA.) And so in the phrase تبقّر فِى المَالِ, (S, A, Msb,) and فى الأَهْلِ, (TA,) i. e., He enlarged himself, or he became, or made himself, large, or abundant, in wealth, or camels or the like, and in family; as explained by As.

Q. Q. 1 see 1, in three places. Q. Q. 2 see 5.

بَقَرٌ a gen. n., (S, Msb,) a word of well-known meaning, (S, Msb, K,) [The bovine genus; the ox, or bull, and cow; and oxen, or bulls, and cows; neat; black cattle;] applied to the domestic and the wild: (TA:) [but the wild have also distinctive appellations, as will be seen below:] n. un. بَقَرَةٌ, (S, Msb, K, [but in the K it is said that بَقَرٌ is pl. of بَقَرَةٌ,]) which is applied to the male and the female; (S, Msb, K;) the ة being added only to restrict it to unity: (S, Msb:) the pl. of بَقَرٌ is أَبْقُرٌ [a pl. of pauc.]; (M,) and أَبْقَارٌ, meaning herds of oxen, or bulls, or cows: (Msb and TA in art. ابل:) and the pl. of بَقَرَةٌ is بَقَرَاتٌ (S, Msb, K) and بُقُرٌ and بُقَّارٌ (K) and بَوَاقِرُ (As, T, K) and ↓ أُبْقُورٌ; (K;) [or rather this last is a quasi-pl. n.;] and the following [also] are quasi-pl. ns., namely, ↓ بَيْقُورٌ, (K,) which is syn. with بَقَرٌ, (S,) and ↓ بَقِيرٌ, (K,) or this signifies a collection, or herd, of بَقَر, (S,) and ↓ بَاقِرٌ, (K,) or this signifies a collection, or herd, of بَقَر with their pastors, (Lth, S,) and ↓ بَاقُورٌ, and ↓ بَاقُورَةٌ, (K,) or this last is syn. with بَقَرَةٌ in the dial. of the people of El-Yemen: (S:) or ↓ بَاقُورٌ and ↓ يَبْقُورٌ and ↓ أُبْقُورٌ are all syn. with بَقَرٌ; and so, accord. to Ktr, is ↓ بَاقُورَةٌ. (Mgh.) b2: بَقَرُ الوَحْشِ [and البَقَرُ الوَحْشِىُّ signify The wild ox, or bull, and cow; and wild oxen, or bulls, and cows, collectively: n. un. بَقَرَةُ الوَحْشِ and البَقَرَةُ الوَحْشِيَّةُ; masc. and fem.: in Egypt, these appellations are applied to the antilope defassa of modern zoologists: so says Sir Gardner Wilkinson; and to this, I believe, they generally apply in the poems &c. of the early Arabs: it is a species of bovine antelope: in Barbary, it seems that the animal thus called is another species of bovine antelope, or perhaps a variety of the former; it is said to be what is termed by Pallas antilope bubalis; by others, alcephalus bubalis, or acronotus bubalis; and this is said to come occasionally to the Nile: but the Arabic appellations given above are employed with much laxity: thus we find بَقَرُ الوَحْشِ explained as meaning] a kind of animal of which there are four different species: the first called مِهِا [i. e. مَهًا, a coll. gen. n. of which the n. un. is مَهَاةٌ]; the second, ايل [i. e.

إِيَّلٌ]; the third يحمور [i. e. يَحْمُورٌ], or يامور [i. e. يَأْمُورٌ]; the fourth, ثيثل [or ثَيْتَلٌ], and also وعل [i. e. وَعْلٌ]: (Ed-Demeeree, cited by De Sacy, erroneously written by him “ Domaïri,”

in his Chrest. Ar. sec. ed. ii. 435 et seq.:) or what is called in Persian كوزن [or گَوَزْنْ (see also إِيَّلٌ in art. اول)]; it has a great horn, with branches; an additional branch growing upon its horn every year; and its horn is solid, thus differing from the horns of other animals, for their horns are hollow: when it hears singing, and the sounds of musical instruments, it listens thereto, and then it takes no care to guard itself from the arrows, by reason of its intense delight therein: when it raises its ear, it hears sounds; and when it relaxes it, it hears not anything. (Kzw: also cited by De Sacy, ubi suprà.) The Arabs regard بَقَر [meaning بقر الوحش] as ominous of evil, because of the sharpness of their horns. (Ham p. 285.) b3: مِلْءُ مَسْكِ البَقَرَةِ [The quantity that fills the hide of the bull, or cow,] means (tropical:) a large quantity. (A.) b4: الظِّبَآءَ عَلَى البَقَرِ [or الظِّبَآءُ] and الكِرَابَ عَلَى البَقَرِ [or الكِرَابُ, and الكِلَابَ or الكِلَابُ,] are provs. of the Arabs. (TA.) [See arts. ظبي and كرب and كلب.] b5: عَيْنُ البَقَرِ (assumed tropical:) [The buphthalmum, or ox-eye;] i. q. بَهَارٌ, q. v. (S in art. بهر.) b6: عُيُونُ البَقَرِ (tropical:) A species of grape, black, large, round, and not very sweet. (K, TA.) In Palestine, applied to (tropical:) A species of إِجَّاص [or plum]. (K, TA.) b7: بَقَرٌ is also applied to (tropical:) A family, or household; those who dwell with a man, and whose maintenance is incumbent on him. (TA.) You say, جَاءَ فُلَانٌ يَجُرُّ بَقَرَهُ (tropical:) Such a one came dragging along his family, or household. (A, * TA.) And عَلَى فُلَانٍ بَقَرَةٌ مِنْ عِيَالٍ

وَمَالٍ (tropical:) Upon such a one is dependent a troop, or large number, of his family, and of camels or the like; (A, * TA;) and in like manner you say, كَرِشٌ مِنْ عِيَالٍ. (A.) And فُلَانٌ فِى بَقَرٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ (tropical:) Such a one is among a large company of men. (A.) بَقِيرٌ Slit; ripped; split; cut, or divided, lengthwise; as also ↓ مَبْقُورٌ. (K.) b2: A she-camel having her belly ripped open so as to disclose her fœtus. (S.) b3: A mare's colt or foal that is born in a [membrane such as is called] مَاسِكَةٌ or سَلًى: (K:) so termed because this is ripped open over it. (TA.) b4: Also, and ↓ بَقِيرَةٌ, A garment of the kind called بُرْد, which is slit [in the middle], and worn (As, K) by a woman, who throws it upon her neck, [putting her head through the slit,] (As,) without sleeves, (As, K,) and without a جَيْبٍ [or an opening at the bosom]; (As;) i. q. إِتْبٌ [q. v.], which is a kind of shirt without sleeves, worn by women. (S.) A2: See also بَقَرٌ.

بَقِيرَةٌ: see بَقِيرٌ.

بَقَّارٌ A grave-digger; syn. حَفَّارٌ. (TA.) b2: A worker in iron; a blacksmith. (K.) A2: An owner, or a possessor, [or an attendant,] of بَقَر [or oxen, or bulls, or cows]. (K.) عَصًا بَقَّارِيَّةٌ A strong staff or stick [such, app., as is used for driving oxen or bulls or cows]. (K.) البَاقِرُ The lion: (K:) because, when he catches his prey, he rips open his belly. (TA.) b2: بَاقِرٌ and ↓ بَاقرَةٌ, [the latter an intensive epithet,] A man who inquires, and searches to the utmost, after sciences. (A.) And بَاقِرُ عِلْمٍ One who enlarges himself, or takes a wide range, in science, or knowledge. (Msb.) b3: فِتْنَةٌ بَاقِرَةٌ, (S, K,) occurring in a trad., (TA,) (assumed tropical:) A sedition, discord, dissension, or the like, that severs society; (K;) that corrupts religion, and separates men: or that is wide-spreading and great: (TA:) it is likened to the disease of the belly; meaning the yellow water or fluid: (S:) or to pain of the belly; because its exciting cause and its cure are unknown.

درع

1 دَرِعَ, aor. ـَ inf. n. دَرَعٌ, He (a horse, and a sheep or goat,) was black in the head, and white [in the other parts]: or, as some say, was black in the head and neck.

(ISh.) 5 تَدَرَّعَ see 8, in three places.8 اِدَّرَعَ He (a man) clad himself with a دِرْعٌ (S K) of iron [i. e. a coat of mail]; (K;) as also ↓ تدرّع. (S, K.) And اِدَّرَعَتْ She (a woman) clad herself with a دِرْع, (S, K,) i. e. a قَمِيص [or shift]. (S, TA.) b2: ادّرع مِدْرَعَةً, and ↓ تدرّعها, and ↓ تَمَدْرَعَهَا, (Kh,) and ↓ تدرّع alone, (S,) and ↓ تَمَدْرَعَ, (S, K,) but this last is of weak authority, (S,) He clad himself with a مِدْرَعَة [q. v.]. (S, K,) b3: ادّرع فُلَانٌ اللَّيْلِ (tropical:) Such a one entered into the darkness of the night, journeying therein; (K, TA;) like اِغْتَمَدَ اللَّيْلَ. (S and L in art. غمد.)

دِرْعٌ A coat of mail; syn. زَرَدِّيَةٌ: (IAth, Msb, TA:) [or a coat of defence of any kind; being a term applied in the S and K &c. to a يَلَبَة, i. e. a coat of defence of skins, or of camel's hide:] and also, of plate-armour: (AO, in his book on the دِرْع and بَيْضَة, cited in the TA voce مِغْفَرٌ:) [but the first is the most general, and proper, meaning:] as meaning a دِرْع of iron, it is fem.; (S, Mgh, K *) or mostly so; (Msb;) but sometimes masc.: (K:) AO says that it is masc. and fem.; (S, TA;) and so Lh: (TA:) pl. أَدْرُعٌ and أَدْرَاعٌ and دُرُوعٌ; (S, Msb, K;) the first and second, pls. of pauc.; the third, a pl. of mult. (S.) The dim. is ↓ دُرَيْعٌ, which is anomalous, (S, Msb, K,) for by rule it should be with ة; (S;) or this may be [a regular form] of the dial. of those who make the word masc.; and some say ↓ دُرَيْعَةٌ. (Msb.) b2: Also A woman's قَمِيص [or shift]; (S, Msb, K;) a garment, or piece of cloth, in the middle of which a woman cuts an opening for the head to be put through, and to which she puts arms [or sleeves], and the two openings of which [at the two sides] she sews up: (T, TA:) or a woman's garment which is worn above the قَمِيص: or, accord. to El-Hulwánee, one of which the opening for the head to pass through extends towards, or to, the bosom; whereas the قميص is one of which the slit is towards, or to, the shoulder-joint; but this [says Mtr] I find not in the lexicons: (Mgh:) a small garment which a young girl wears in her house, or chamber, or tent: (TA:) as meaning a woman's دِرْع, it is masc., (Lh, S, Mgh, Msb, K,) only; (Lh;) or sometimes fem.: (TA:) pl. أَدْرَاعٌ. (S, K.) [See a verse cited voce مِجْوَلٌ.]

دَرَعٌ Whiteness in the breast of a sheep, or goat, and in its نَحْر [or part where it is slaughtered, but وَنَحْرِهَا, in the K, is probably a mistranscription, for وَنَحْوِهَا, meaning and the like thereof, i. e., of the sheep, or goat], and blackness in the thigh. (Lth, K.) [See also 1; and see دُرْعَةٌ.]

لَيَالٍ دُرَعٌ: see أَدْرَعُ.

دُرْعَةٌ, in a horse, and in a sheep or goat, Blackness of the head, and whiteness [of the other parts]: or, accord. to some, blackness of the head and neck: a subst. from دَرِعَ [q. v.]. (Msb.) b2: See also أَدْرَعُ, in the middle of the paragraph.

دِرْعِيَّةٌ, applied to an arrow-head or the like, Penetrating into, or piercing through, the coats of mail: pl. دَرَاعِىُّ. (Ibn-'Abbád, K.) دُرَيْعٌ and دُرَيْعَةٌ: see دِرْعٌ.

دَارِعٌ Having, or possessing, a دِرْع [or coat of mail]: (Mgh:) or a man having upon him a دِرْع; (S, K;) as though having, or possessing, a دِرْع; [being properly a possessive epithet] like لَابِنٌ and تَامِرٌ. (S.) أَدْرَعُ, applied to a horse, and to a sheep or goat, Having a black head, the rest being white: (S, Msb, * K:) or, as some say, having a black head and neck, (Msb, TA,) the rest being white: (TA:) or having a white head and neck, the rest being black: (TA:) fem. دَرْعَآءُ: (S, Msb:) pl. دُرْعٌ: (S:) or دَرْعَآءُ signifies having what is termed دَرَعٌ [q. v.]; applied to a sheep or goat, (K,) and to a mare: (TA:) or a sheep or goat black in the body, and white in the head: or black in the neck and head, the rest of her being white: or, accord. to Az, a ewe having a black neck: or, accord. to Aboo-Sa'eed, sheep or goats differing in colour: or, accord. to ISh, black except in having the neck white: and red [or brown], but having the neck white: and also, having the head with the neck white: accord. to Az, the right explanation is that given by Az, meaning having the fore part black; being likened to the nights termed دُرَعٌ; or the latter are likened to the former: and hence, (TA,) b2: لَيْلَةٌ دَرْعَآءُ (tropical:) A night of which the moon rises at the dawn, (K,) or at the commencement of the dawn; the rest thereof being black, and dark. (TA.) And ↓ لَيَالٍ دُرَعٌ, (S, K,) said by AHát to have been heard by him only on the authority of AO, but so accord. to As and A 'Obeyd and AHeyth, (TA,) and دُرْعٌ; (K;) the former contr. to rule, for by rule it should be دُرْعٌ, its sing. being دَرْعَآءُ; (A 'Obeyd, S;) or, accord. to AHeyth, you say ثَلَاثٌ دُرَعٌ وَثَلَاثٌ ظُلَمٌ, and دُرَعٌ and ظُلَمٌ are pls. of ↓ دُرْعَةٌ and ظُلْمَةٌ, not of دَرْعَآءُ and ظَلْمَآءُ; and Az says that this is correct and regular; but IB says that دَرْعَآءُ has دُرَعٌ for its pl. for the purpose of assimilation to ظُلَمٌ in the saying ثَلَاثٌ ظُلَمٌ وَثَلَاثٌ دُرَعٌ, and that no other instance had been heard by him of a word of the measure فَعْلَآءُ having a pl. of the measure فُعَلٌ; (TA;) (tropical:) Three nights of the month which follow those called البِيضُ; (As, S, K; *) namely, the sixteenth and seventeenth and eighteenth nights; (TA;) because of the blackness of their first parts, and the whiteness of the rest thereof: (S, K:) there is no difference in what As and Az and ISh say respecting them: but some say that they are the thirteenth and fourteenth and fifteenth; because part of them is black and part of them white: [this, however, seems to have originated from a misunderstanding of an explanation running thus; three nights of the month which follow those called البِيض, which, meaning the latter, are the thirteenth &c.; for the thirteenth and fourteenth and fifteenth are all white:] or, accord. to AO, اللَّيَالِى الدُّرَعُ signifies the nights of which the fore parts are black and the latter parts white, of the end of the month; and those of which the fore parts are white and the latter parts black, of the commencement of the month. (TA.) b3: أَدْرَعُ also signifies (assumed tropical:) One whose father is free, or an Arab, and whose mother is a slave; syn. هَجِينٌ; (K;) as also مُعَلْهَجٌ. (TA.) And قَوْمٌ دُرْعٌ (tropical:) A people, or company of men, of whom half are white and half black. (TA.) مِدْرَعٌ: see the following paragraph.

مِدْرَعَةٌ A certain garment, [a tunic,] like that called ↓ دُرَّاعَةٌ, never of anything but wool, (Lth, K,) [and having sleeves; for] mention is made, in a trad., of a مدرعة narrow in the sleeve; wherefore the wearer, in performing the ablution termed وُضُوْء, put forth his arm from beneath the مدرعة, and so performed that ablution: (TA:) accord. to some, the ↓ درّاعة is a [garment of the kind called] جُبَّة, slit in the fore part; (TA;) [thus resembling a kind of جُبَّة worn by persons in Northern Africa, reaching to, or below, the knees, and having the two front edges sewed together from the bottom, or nearly so, to about the middle of the breast: it is said in the MA to be a wide vest or shirt; a large جُبَّة: and the مِدْرَعَة is there said to be a woollen دُرَّاعَة; a woollen tunic: El-Makreezee (cited by De Sacy in his “ Chrest. Arabe,” 2nd ed., vol. i., p. 125,) describes the ↓ دراّعة as a garment worn in Egypt particularly by Wezeers, slit in the fore part to near the head of the heart, with buttons and loops: Golius describes it as “ tunica gossipina, fere grossior; ” adding, “estque exterior tum virilis tum muliebris; ” as on the authority of J, who says nothing of the kind, and of the Loghat Neamet-Allah: and as epomis, seu amiculum quod humeris injicitur; on the authority of Ibn-Maaroof: J only says,] the ↓ مِدْرَع and مِدْرَعَة are one; and ↓ دُرَّاعَةٌ is sing. of, or signifies one of what are called, دَرَارِيعُ: (S:) the pl. of مدرعة is مَدَارِعُ. (MA.) A2: Also The [appendage called]

صُفَّة [q. v.] of a رَحْل [or camel's saddle], when the heads of the وَاسِطَة [or fore part (Az says the وَسَط, accord. to the TA,)] and the آخِرَة [or hinder part] appear from [above] it. (K.)

الأَعْنَابِ الضَّيْعُةَ i. e. [Verily I fear, for the grapes,] their [lit. the] perishing, or becoming lost. (TA.) b2: And ضاع, (K, TA,) inf. n. ضَيَاعٌ and ضَيْعَةٌ, (TA,) It (a thing) was left; left, or let, alone; or neglected. (K, TA.) Hence, ضاعت الإِبِلُ, and ضاع العِيَالُ, The camels, and the family, or household, were left untended, and unminded; and were left alone, or neglected. (TA.) A2: ضاع, aor. ـِ said of perfume, or sweet odour, i. q. ضاع having for its aor. ـُ (Har p. 670.) [See 5 in art. ضوع: and see also 5 in the present art.]2 ضيّع الشَّىْءَ, (O, Msb, K,) inf. n. تَضْيِيعٌ; (S;) and ↓ اضاعهُ, (O, Msb, K,) inf. n. إِضَاعَةٌ; (S;) both signify the same; (S, O, Msb, K;) He made, or caused, the thing to perish, or become lost; he destroyed it, wasted it, or lost it. (Msb, K, TA.) Hence, ضَيَّعُوا فُلَانًا is used by the vulgar as meaning They beheaded such a one with the sword. (TA.) It is said in a prov., الصَّيْفَ ضَيَّعْتِ اللَّبَنَ [In the spring, or in the summer, thou losedst the milk], in which the ت is with kesr when the words are addressed to a male, or to a female, or to a pl. number, because originally addressed to a woman, the wife of a wealthy man, whom she disliked because of his being aged, wherefore he divorced her, and a poor man married her, and she sent to her first husband requesting a gift, and he answered her thus; (S, O, K; *) الصيف being in the accus. case as an adv. n.: so says Yaakoob: (S, O:) or El-Aswad Ibn-Hurmuz divorced his wife El-' Anood Esh-Shenneeyeh, (O, K,) of the BenooShenn, (TA,) preferring to her a beautiful and wealthy woman of his people; (O, K; *) then there occurred between them what led to their separation, and he sought to obtain [again] El-' Anood, and sent a message to her; but in replying to him she said, أَنْشَأْتَ تَطْلُبُ وَصْلَنَا فِى الصَّيْفِ ضَيَّعْتَ اللَّبَنْ [Thou hast begun to seek our union: in the spring, or in the summer, thou losedst the milk]: (O, * K:) the ت in this case being with fet-h. (K. [See more in Freytag's Arab. Prov. ii. 197-8, or in Har p. 577; in both of which, however, and in the O, ضيّعت is with kesr in the latter case, as in the former.]) [One says also, ضيّع عَهْدَهُ, meaning He broke his compact, contract, or covenant]. The phrase, in a trad., نَهَى عَنْ المَالِ ↓ إِضَاعَةِ means He forbade the expending of wealth otherwise than in obedience to God, and the squandering thereof, and extravagance. (TA.) b2: See also the next paragraph.4 اضاع الشَّىْءَ: see 2, first sentence, and last but one. b2: Also, [and app. ↓ ضيّعهُ likewise, accord. to the K,] He left the thing; left it, or let it, alone; or neglected it. (K, TA.) Yousay, اضاع عِيَالَهُ He neglected his family, or household; omitted taking good care of them, or being mindful of them. (TA.) وَمَا كَانَ اللّٰهُ لِيُضِعَ

إِيمَانَكُمْ, in the Kur [ii. 138], means And God will not neglect [or make to be lost] your prayer. (TA.) أَضَاعُوا الصَّلَاةَ, in the same, [xix. 60,] means Who neglected, or omitted, prayer, (Bd, TA,) altogether: (TA:) or deferred it: (Bd:) or who performed it in other than its right time: but the first explanation is more suitable, for the unbelievers are meant thereby. (TA.) A2: اضاع [is also intrans., and] may signify He found his affair to be coming to nought. (Ham p. 33.) b2: And His estates (ضِيَاعُهُ) became wide-spread, (S, O, K,) and many, or numerous. (S, O, Msb, K.) 5 تضيّع, said of the wind, It blew: because it [often] destroys that upon which it blows: so says Er-Rághib. (TA. [But it may be from what here follows.]) b2: Said of musk, It diffused its odour, or fragrance: (S, O, K;) a dial. var. of تضوّع: (S:) or an instance of substitution [of ى for و]. (O.) [See also 1, last explanation.]

مَاتَ ضِيْعًا and ضِيَعًا: see ضَيَاعٌ.

ضَيْعَةٌ an inf. n. of 1. (S, &c.) b2: See ضَيَاعٌ, below, last sentence but one. b3: Also A single case, or occasion, of perishing, coming to nought, passing away, or becoming lost; or of being left, left or let alone, or neglected. (TA.) b4: تَرَكْتُهُ بِضَيْعَةٍ means I left him unsought-after, or unminded, or unmissed. (TA. [See also a similar phrase voce ضَيَاعٌ.]) A2: Also i. q. عَقَارٌ [meaning An estate consisting of land, or of land and a house, or of a house or land yielding a revenue, or of a house and palm-trees, or the like]; (S, O, Msb, K;) and [particularly] land yielding a revenue; (K;) or with the people of the towns and villages and cultivated lands it signifies the property, of a man, consisting of palm-trees and grape-vines and land: but the Arabs [of the desert] know not the word in this sense: (Az, TA:) IF says, I do not reckon the application of this word as a name for the عَقَار to be of the original language, but think it to be an innovation in speech; and I have heard it said that this is termed a ضيعة because, when frequent attention to it is neglected, it perishes; and if it be so, this is an evidence of what we have said, that it is of the innovated speech: (O, TA:) the dim. is ↓ ضُيَيْعَةٌ, for which one should not say ضُوَيْعَةٌ: (S, O, K:) the pl. is ضِيَاعٌ and ضِيَعٌ, (S, O, Msb, K,) as though the latter were a contraction of the former, (Msb,) and ضَيْعَاتٌ: (K:) accord. to Lth, the first of these pls. signifies places of alighting or abode or settlement; which are thus called because, when the paying frequent attention to them, or taking good care of them, and the keeping them, or putting them, in a good state, or state of repair, is neglected, they come to nought: and ضَيْعَاتٌ occurs in a trad. as meaning the means of subsistence. (TA.) And, (T, O, Msb, K,) as used by the Arabs [of the desert], who know not the word in any other sense than this, (T, O,) A craft, or handicraft, by which one gains his subsistence; a mode, or manner, of gain; or any habitual work or occupation of a man; (T, O, Msb, K) as the sewing of skins or boots and the like; and the twisting of ropes; and the weaving, or plaiting, of palm-leaves; and the culture of palm-trees (عَمَلُ النَّخْلِ); and the pasturing of camels; and the like thereof; (T, O;) including the sowing, or tilling, of land: (TA:) or the ضَيْعَة of the Arabs was the management, or tending, of camels and of sheep and goats: and the term includes a man's craft, or handicraft, or means of gain: (Sh, O:) and his traffic: (Sh, O, K:) one says to a man, قُمْ إِلَى ضَيْعَتِكَ [Arise to thy craft, &c.]: (Sh, O:) and كُلُّ رَجُلٍ

وَضَيْعَتَهُ, [Every man should occupy himself with his proper craft, &c.] (Msb.) أَفْشَى اللّٰهُ, ضَيْعَتَهُ, occurring in a trad., means God made or may God make, his means of subsistence to be abundant. (TA.) And one says, فَشَتْ ضَيْعَتُهُ, [or, more commonly, فَشَتْ عَلَيْهِ ضَيْعَتُهُ, as in the TA in art. فشو, &c.,] which is said to mean His property was, or became, large, or abundant, [or wide-spread,] so that he was unable to collect it together: and [hence] his means of attaining his object [or his affairs (as in the TA in art. فشو)] became disordered so that he knew not with which of them to begin: (TA:) or he took to doing an affair that did not concern him: (TA, and Ham p. 33:) it is nearly like the saying اِتَّسَعَ الخَرْقُ عَلَى الرَّاقِعِ [expl. in art. خرق]. (Ham ibid.) And إِنِّى لَأَرَى ضَيْعَةً لَا يُصْلِحُهَا إِلَّا ضَجْعَةٌ [Verily I see property that nothing but a sleep will restore to a right state] a prov.; said by a pastor whose camels had dispersed themselves, and who, desiring to collect them together, and being unable to do so, sought aid of sleep. (O.) مَاتَ ضِيعَةً: see the next paragraph.

ضَيَاعٌ an inf. n. of 1 [q. v.]. (S, &c.) [Hence] one says, مَاتَ ضَيَاعًا, as also ↓ ضِيَعًا, and ↓ ضِيْعًا, and ↓ ضِيعَةٌ, He (a man, TA) died unsought-after, or unminded, or unmissed. (K, TA.

[properly thus termed]: (Mgh, O:) or, accord. to one relation of the trad., the word is ↓ ضَيْعَةً [which is likewise an inf. n., and in this case to be expl. in the same manner]: (Mgh:) if read ضِيَاعًا, it would be pl. of ضَائِعٌ. (Mgh, O.) A2: Also A sort of perfume, or odoriferous substance. (K.) ضُيَيْعَةٌ dim. of ضَيْعَةٌ, q. v. (S, O, K.) ضَائعٌ Perishing, coming to nought, passing away, or becoming lost: (Mgh, * Msb:) [and being left; left, or let, alone; or neglected:] part. n. of 1: (Mgh, Msb:) pl. ضِيَاعٌ (Mgh, O, Msb, K) and ضُيَّعٌ.

مِعًى ضَائِعٍ [A hungry canine tooth that throws the food into an empty gut]. (S.) أَضْيَعُ means أَكْثَرُ ضَيَاعًا: so in the saying, فُلَانٌ أَضْيَعُ مِنْ فُلَانٍ [Such a one is in a more perishing state than such a one]. (TA.) مُضِيعٌ act. part. n. of the trans. v. اضاع.

A2: And part. n. of the intrans. v. اضاع; as such signifying One whose estates (ضِيَاعُهُ) are becoming wide-spread, and many, or numerous.

غنم

1 غَنِمَ, (S, Msb, K,) aor. ـَ (Msb,) inf. n. غُنْمٌ (S, MA, Msb, * K, KL) and غَنْمٌ, (K,) or, as some say, the former is a simple subst. and the latter is an inf. n., (TA,) and غَنَمٌ and غَنِيمَةٌ and غُنْمَانٌ, (K,) He, or they, (i. e. a man, Msb, or a party of men, S,) obtained, got, or took, (Msb, K, * TK,) spoil, (K, * TK,) or a thing [as spoil]. (Msb, TA.) [And He acquired, or gained, a thing without difficulty, or trouble, or inconvenience: or in this sense the inf. n. is غُنْمٌ, which see below, voce غَنِيمَةٌ.] مَا غَنِمْتُمْ in the Kur viii. 42 means What ye take by force [in war] from the unbelievers. (Bd, Jel.) [See also 8.]2 غَنَّمْتُهُ, inf. n. تَغْنِيمٌ, I gave him spoil, or a free and disinterested gift; syn. نَفَّلْتُهُ: (S:) or غَنَّمَهُ كَذَا, inf. n. as above, he gave him such a thing as spoil, or as a free and disinterested gift; syn. نَفَّلَهُ إِيَّاهُ. (K.) 4 أَغْنَمَهُ الشَّىْءَ He made the thing to be to him spoil. (TA.) 5 تَغَنَّمَ see 8. b2: One says also, هُوَ يَتَغَنَّمُ الأَمْرَ, meaning He eagerly desires the affair like as one eagerly desires spoil. (TA.) A2: And تغنّم, (TA in the present art.,) or تغنّم غَنَمًا, (Az, T and TA in art. ابل,) He took for himself, got, gained, or acquired, sheep or goats or both: like as one says تأبّل إِبِلًا. (Az, T and TA in art. ابل; and TA * in the present art.) 8 اغتنمهُ, as also ↓ تغنّمهُ, He reckoned it spoil: (S, K:) or both signify he took, seized, caught, or snatched, it as spoil. (KL.) b2: And [hence] one says, اغتنم الفُرْصَةَ He took, or seized, or [availed himself of,] the opportunity; or he hastened to take it; syn. اِنْتَهَزَهَا. (S and A and K in art. نهز.) غُنْمٌ: see غَنِيمَةٌ, in three places. b2: It signifies also [The regaining (as is shown by an explanation of A 'Obeyd cited in the first paragraph of art. غلق), and] the increase, and growth, and excess in value, of a pledge. (O in art. غلق, and TA in the present art.) Thus in a trad., in which it is said, الرَّهْنُ لِمَنْ رَهَنَهُ لَهُ غُنْمُهُ وَعَلَيْهِ غُرْمُهُ [The pledge pertains to him who pledged it; to him pertains the regaining of it, and its increase, and growth, and excess in value, if such there be, and upon him lies the obligation to pay the debt for it, without requiring any abatement thereof if the pledge have unavoidably suffered damage or total loss: see the explanation of A 'Obeyd mentioned above]. (TA.) الغُنْمُ بِالغُرْمِ means The غُنْم is compensated (مُقَابَلٌ) by the غُرْم [i. e. the regaining of the pledge, with the increase and the growth and the excess in value thereof if such there be, is compensated by the payment of the debt for it]; for like as the owner [of the pledge] is exclusively entitled to the غُنْم, no one sharing it with him, so he bears the غُرْم, no one bearing it with him: and this is the meaning of their saying, الغُرْمُ مَجْبُورٌ بِالغُنْمِ [which may therefore be rendered The loss suffered by the payment of the debt is repaired by the regaining of the pledge; app. a phrase of the lawyers, implying that such is to be considered as the case whatever be the state of the pledge at the time of its being restored unless it have suffered damage through the fault of the pledgee]. (Msb.) [See more in the first paragraph of art. غلق.] b3: See also غُنَامَاكَ.

A2: غنم [app. غُنْمٌ] is mentioned by Suh as the name of A certain idol. (TA.) غَنَمٌ i. q. شَآءٌ, (T, Msb, K,) meaning Sheep and goats; (Msb;) [and both together;] a gen. n., (S, Msb, K,) of the fem. gender, (S, K,) applied to the males and the females, and to both together: (S, Msb, K:) it has no sing. from which it is derived, the sing. being شاة: the dual غَنَمَانِ is used as meaning two flocks or herds [of sheep or of goats or of both together]; (Msb, K;) each flock or herd having its distinct place of pasture and its pastor: (Msb, TA: *) and hence it is said in a trad. that the poor-rate [meaning a portion thereof] is to be given to him to whom the year of drought has left a غَنَم, but not to him to whom it has left غَنَمَيْنِ: (TA:) the pl. is أَغْنَامٌ, (Msb, K,) [properly a pl. of pauc.,] sometimes used, (Msb,) meaning flocks or herds of غَنَم, (Msb and TA in art. ابل,) and also غُنُومٌ and أَغَانِمُ, (K,) the last used in an ode of Aboo-Jundab El-Hudhalee: (TA:) the dim. is ↓ غُنَيْمَةٌ, with ة, because quasi-pl. ns. of the class having no sing. from which they are derived, when applied to what are not human beings, are constantly fem.; so one says خَمْسٌ مِنَ الغَنَمِ ذُكُورٌ [five of sheep, males], making the n. of number fem., though one means rams, when it is followed by مِنَ الغَنَمِ, for the n. of number is masc. and fem. accord. to the word, not accord. to the meaning. (S.) b2: In the saying لَا آتِيكَ غَنَمَ الفِزْرِ i. e. حَتَّى تَجْتَمِعَ غَنَمُ الفِزْرِ [I will not come to thee until the sheep, or goats, of El-Fizr congregate], غنم [with its complement] is made to stand in the place of الدَّهْر, [the meaning being, I will not come to thee ever,] and is [therefore] put in the accus. case as though it were an adv. n. [of time]. (TA. [This saying with مِعْزَى in the place of غَنَمَ is mentioned by El-Meydánee in his “ Proverbs,” and thus in the S and K in art. فزر.

For an explanation of its origin see Freytag's Arab. Prov. ii. 484.]) b3: الأَغْنَامُ is the name of (assumed tropical:) Certain small stars between the legs of Cepheus and the star الجَدْىُ. (Kzw, in his descr. of Cepheus.) [See شَاةٌ (in art. شوه), last sentence.]

غَنِيمٌ: see what next follows.

غَنِيمَةٌ and ↓ مَغْنَمٌ (S, Msb, K) and ↓ غَنِيمٌ and ↓ غُنْمٌ all signify فَىْءٌ [as meaning Spoil, booty, or plunder]: and the acquisition of a thing without difficulty, or trouble, or inconvenience: or this is termed ↓ غُنْمٌ, and فَىْءٌ is termed غَنِيمَةٌ: (K:) or, accord. to A 'Obeyd, الغَنِيمَةُ signifies what is obtained from the believers in a plurality of gods, by force, during war; (Mgh, Msb:) and of this, a fifth is to be taken, [and applied in the manner prescribed in the Kur viii. 42,] and what remains after the fifth is for those who have obtained it, exclusively; (Mgh;) the horseman having three shares, and the foot-soldier having one share: (Az, TA:) and الفَىْءُ signifies what is obtained from them after the laying-down of arms, (Mgh, Msb,) when the country, or place, becomes a country, or place, of Islám; and this is for all of the Muslims, and is not to be divided into fifths: (Mgh:) or the فَىْء is what God has given, or restored, of the possessions of the believers in a plurality of gods, to the Muslims, without war, such as the poll-tax, and that for which peace has been made with them; and of this also a fifth is to be applied in the manner prescribed by God, and the remainder is to be expended in the purchase of horses and weapons and other apparatus for the defence of the frontiers: (Az, TA:) and النَّفَلُ is what is given to the warrior in addition to his share; and is when the Imám or the commander says, “He who slays one shall have his spoil; ” or says to a detachment, “What ye obtain shall be yours,” or “ the quarter of it,” or “ the half of it; ” and it is not divided into fifths; and it lies on the Imám to fulfil the promise: or, accord. to 'Alee Ibn-'Eesà, الغَنِيمَةُ is more general in signification than النَّفَلُ; and الفَىْءُ is more so than الغَنِيمَةُ, because it is a name for everything of the possessions of the believers in a plurality of gods that becomes the property of the Muslims: accord. to the lawyers, everything that may be lawfully taken, of their possessions, is فَىْء: (Mgh:) the pl. of غَنِيمَةٌ is غَنَائِمُ; and the pl. of ↓ مَغْنَمٌ is مَغَانِمُ, (Msb, TA,) and غُنُومٌ occurs as pl. of ↓ غُنْمٌ. (TA.) غَنِيمَةٌ بَارِدَةٌ see expl. in art. برد.

غُنِيْمَةٌ dim. of غَنَمٌ, q. v. (S.) غُنَامَاكَ أَنْ تَفَعَلَ كَذَا (S, K, * TA) means The utmost of thy power, or ability, and of thy case, (S, * TA,) and that which thou eagerly desirest like as one desires spoil, (S, * JM, TA, *) [is, or will be, thy doing such a thing;] i. q. قُصَارَاكَ: (K, TA: [see also عُنَانَاكَ, in art. عن:]) and so ↓ غُنْمُكَ: (TA:) and [in like manner] one says, أَنْ يَفْعَلَ كَذَا ↓ غُنَيْمَاؤُهُ, like حُسَيْنَاؤُهُ, meaning قُصَارَاهُ [The utmost of his power, &c.]. (TA in art. حسن.) غُنَيْمَاؤُهُ: see what next precedes.

غَانِمٌ Taking, or a taker, of غَنِيمَة [or spoil]. (TA.) b2: See also two exs. voce شَاجِبٌ.

مَغْنَمٌ: see غَنِيمَةٌ, in two places.

غَنَمٌ مُغْنَمَةٌ and مُغَنَّمَةٌ Sheep, or goats, collected together: (TA:) or many or numerous: (K, TA:) or, accord. to Az, one of these two epithets, thus applied, [probably the latter, like مُؤَبَّلَةٌ applied to إِبِلٌ, as he seems to say,] signifies [app. divided into distinct flocks or herds,] each [flock or herd] having its own pastor. (TA.)

(TA.) [In the present day, جَمَلُ البَحْرِ is an appellation of The pelican.] b3: عَيْنُ الجَمَلِ, in the dial. of Egypt, i. q. الشَّاه بَلُّوط [The chestnut].

أَفْعَلُ; (TA;) [but see above;] or this is applied to any female as signifying perfect, or complete, in body. (Ibn-'Abbád, K.) It is said in a trad., إِنَّ اللّٰهَ جَمِيلٌ يُحِبُّ الجِمَالَ Verily God is comely in deeds, (TA,) or an Abundant Bestower of good things: He loveth those who are of the like character. (Er-Rághib, TA.) And you say, عَامَلَهُ بَالجَمِيلِ [He treated him with comely, or pleasing, behaviour]. (TA.) And مَاسَحَهُ بِالجَمِيل [He coaxed him, or wheedled him, with comely, or pleasing, behaviour or speech]. (ISd, K. [See 3.]) b2: أَبُو جَمِيلٍ [The kind of plants called] البَقْل; because they embellish by their presence, and render good, the seasoning of food; or because they take away the جَمِيل, i. e., the grease of the flesh-meat, and dry up the food.

[as a pl.; though, in relation to جُمَالَةٌ, it may be a coll. gen. n., forming its n. un. with ة]. (AA, K.) جِمَالَةٌ: see what next precedes.

جَمِيلَةٌ A number of gazelles together: and of pigeons. (Ibn-' Abbád, K.) جُمَالِىٌّ applied to a man, (S, Msb, K,) Large in make: (S, Msb:) or tall in body: (Msb:) or firm [in make], (K,) or big in limbs, complete in make, (TA,) like a he-camel. (K, TA.) and with ة applied to a she-camel, (S, K,) Resembling a he-camel in greatness of make: (S:) or firm (K, TA) in make, (TA,) like a he-camel (K, TA) in greatness of make and in strength. (TA.) جُمَّلٌ (S, K, &c.) and ↓ جُمَلٌ and ↓ جُمْلٌ (K) and ↓ جُمُلٌ and ↓ جَمَلٌ (IJ, K) [A cable;] the rope of a ship, (S, K,) i. e., the thick rope thereof, (TA,) that is also called قَلْسٌ, (S, TA,) consisting of [a number of] ropes put together: (S:) and ↓ جُمَالَةٌ also signifies [the same; or] a thick rope, because consisting of many strands put together; pl. جُمَالَاتٌ; (Zj, TA;) which Mujáhid explains as meaning the ropes of bridges; but I 'Ab, as the ropes of ships, put together so as to be like the waists of men [in thickness]. (TA.) In all the forms mentioned above, except the last (جمالة), the word is read in the phrase [in the Kur vii. 38], حَتَّى يَلِجَ الجُمَّلُ فِى سَمِّ الخِيَاطِ [Until the cable shall enter into the eye of the needle]: (K, TA:) I 'Ab reads الجُمَّلُ, (S, TA,) and so do 'Alee and many others: ↓ جُمْلٌ is pl. [or rather coll. gen. n.] of جُمْلَةٌ, a strand of a thick rope; or, accord. to IJ, pl. of جَمَلٌ [q. v.]: the first is explained by Fr as meaning ropes put together; but Aboo-Tálib thinks that he meant ↓ جُمَلٌ, without tesh-deed. (TA.) A2: حِسَابُ الجُمَّلِ, (S K,) thought by IDrd to be not Arabic, (TA,) and ↓ الجُمَلِ, (K,) but IDrd doubts its correctness, The calculation by means of the letters د ج ب ا, &c.

جَامِلٌ [act. part. n. of جَمَلَ.

A2: And also part. n. of جَمُلَ]. The Arabs say, اُجْمُلْ إِنْ كُنْتَ جَامِلًا [Become beautiful, &c., if thou be becoming beautiful, &c.]: but when they mean the quality [alone], they say, إِنَّهُ لَجَمِيلٌ [Verily he is beautiful, &c.].

A6: اكفأ, (K,) inf. n. إِكْفَاءٌ, (TA,) in poetry, accord. to a commentary on the Káfee, He used as the رَوِىّ two letters having their places of utterance near to each other; as ط with د: [such is the signification of the verb accord. to general usage in the present day:] or, accord. to the Ahkám el-Asás, he changed the روىّ from ر to ل, or ل to م: or he made a similar change of one letter to another having its place of utterance near to that of the former: or it has another signification, given below, accord. to the same authority: (TA:) or he used different letters in the rhymes; (S, K;) whether letters having their places of utterance near to each other, or the contrary; (TA;) or in some م and in some ن and in some د, and in some ط, and in some ح, and in some خ, &c.; as says Az; and this is the meaning known to the Arabs: (S:) or he used different vowels in the روىّ: (Fr, S:) or i. q. أَقْوَى: (S, K:) or, accord. to the Ahkám el-Asás, it signifies either as explained above on that authority, (TA,) or he used different final inflections in the rhymes: (K:) or he changed the final vowel in the rhyme; ending one verse with ضَمَّة, and another with كَسْرَة, [which are the two vowels that resemble each other]: (TA:) [see a verse cited in the first paragraph of art. غيب:] or he impaired the end of a verse in any way.

(S, K.) b2: تَتَكَافَأُ دِمَاؤُهُمْ Their blood (i. e., the blood of the Muslims,) shall be equally retaliated, or expiated: (A 'Obeyd, S:) i. e., the noble shall have no advantage over the ignoble in the retaliation or expiation of blood.
