ى1 سَوِىَ, aor. ـْ see 3, in two places.

A2: [Accord. to Golius, سَوَى, inf. n. سِوًى, signifies He intended, or proposed to himself: this he says as on the authority of the KL, in which only the inf. n. is mentioned with the explanation قصد وآهنگ كردن: and to this, Freytag adds the authority of Meyd; and also that the verb governs the thing which is its objective complement in the accus. case. In the S and other lexicons of good repute, I find the meaning of قَصَدَ assigned to اِسْتَوَى followed by إِلَى; but in none to سَوَى.]2 سوّاهُ, (S, M, &c.,) inf. n. تَسْوِيَةٌ, (K,) He made it equal, equable, uniform, even, level, flat, plane or plain; (S, * M, MA, Msb, K;) or equal in respect of elevation or of depression; (Er-Rághib, TA;) [and straight, right, direct, or rightly directed; (see its quasi-pass. 8;)] and ↓ اسواهُ signifies the same; (M, K;) namely, a place, (Msb, K,) or a thing, (S, M, Er-Rághib, TA,) or an uneven, or a crooked, thing. (Mgh.) It is said in a trad., فَأَمَرَ بِالخِرَبِ فَسُوِّيَتْ [And he gave orders respecting the ruins, and they were levelled]. (TA in art. خرب.) And in another trad., سَوَّيْنَا عَلَى رُقَيَّةَ, meaning We buried Ru-keiyeh, and made the earth of the grave even, or level, over her. (Mgh.) [Hence also,] سُوِّيتْ عَلَيْهِ الأَرْضُ: see 8. And hence the saying in the Kur [iv. 45], لُوْ تُسَوَّى بِهِمُ الْأَرْضُ, (TA,) i. e. That they were buried, and that the ground were made level over them; (S, * Bd;) بِ being here syn. with عَلَى: (TA in art. ب:) or the meaning is, that they became like the dust of the earth; (M, Jel;) thus expl. by Th; (M;) or that they had not been created, and that they and the earth were alike. (Bd.) [Hence also,] بَلَى قَادِرِينَ عَلَى أَنْ نُسَوِّىَ بَنَانَهُ, in the same [lxxv. 4], is said to mean [Yea: we are able] to make his hand like the foot of the camel, without fingers: or to make his fingers uniform, of one measure or size: (TA:) or the meaning is, we are able to put together the bones of his fingers [consistently] as they were. (Bd, Jel.) And بَيْنَ ↓ حَتَّى إِذَا سَاوَى

الصَّدَفَيْنِ, in the Kur [xviii. 95], means سَوَّى

بَيْنَهُمَا [i. e. Until, when he had made the space between the two sides of the mountains even, or level, by filling it up]. (TA.) b2: [Also He made it uniform, equal, or consimilar, with another thing.] One says, سَوَّيْتُهُ بِهِ, (M, K,) inf. n. as above; (K;) and به ↓ سَاوَيْتُهُ, (M, * TA, TK,) and به ↓ أَسْوَيْتُهُ; I made it uniform, or equal, with it; or like it: (M, K, TA:) and ↓ سَاوَيْتُ هٰذَا بِذَاكَ I raised this so as to make it equal in measure, or quantity, or amount, with that. (TA.) And سَوَّيْتُ بَيْنَهُمَا, and ↓ سَاوَيْتُ, (S, M, K,) I made them uniform, or equal, each with the other; or like each other. (M, K, TA.) b3: [and He made it symmetrical or symmetrically, by, or with, a just adaptation of its component parts; made it congruous or consistent in its several parts, or with congruity or consistency in its several parts: he made it, formed it, or fashioned it, in a suitable manner: he made it to be adapted, or so as to be adapted, to the exigencies, or requirements, of its case, or of wisdom: he made it complete, or in a complete manner; completed it, or completed its make: he made it right or good, or in a right or good manner; rectified it; adjusted it; or put it into a right, or good, state.] In the Kur xxxii. 8, it means He made him symmetrical [or symmetrically], by the fit, or suitable, formation of his members. (Bd,) And سَوَّيْتُهُ in the same, xv. 29 and xxxviii. 72, I made his creation symmetrical: (Bd:) or I completed him, or made him complete. (Jel.) And سَوَّى in the same, lxxxvii. 2, He made what He created congruous or consistent in the several parts. (Jel.) And الَّذِى خَلَقَكَ فَسَوَّاكَ, in the same [lxxxii. 7], means [Who created thee,] and made thy creation to be adapted to the exigencies, or requirements, of wisdom. (TA.) وَنَفْسٍ وَمَا سَوَّاهَا, in the same, [xci. 7, means By a soul and what made it to be adapted to its exigencies, i. e., to the performance of its functions, for it] is indicative of the faculties of the soul: this explanation is more proper than that which makes ما to mean [Him who, i. e.] God. (TA.) And رَفَعَ سَمْكَهَا فَسَوَّاهَا, in the same, lxxix. 28, means He hath raised high [its canopy, or] the measure of its elevation from the earth, or its thickness upwards, and made it symmetrical, or even, (Bd,) or completed it by adorning it with the stars, (Bd, TA, *) agreeably with what is said in the Kur xxxvii. 6, (TA,) and by means of the revolvings [thereof], &c.: from the saying next following. (Bd.) سوّى

فُلَانٌ أَمْرَهُ Such a one rectified, or adjusted, his affair; or put it into a right, or good, state. (Bd in lxxix. 28.) [Hence,] one says, سَوِّ وَلَا تُسَوِّئْ Rectify thou, and do not corrupt, or mar. (A and TA in art. سوأ.) [One says also, سوّى

الطَّعَامَ He cooked the food thoroughly: see 8 as its quasi-pass.] And سوّى فُلَانٌ مَنْصُوبَةً [Such a one framed a stratagem, or plot]. (TA in art. نصب.) A2: سَوَّى [as an intrans. verb, if not a mistranscription for سُوِّىَ], inf. n. as above: see 8.

A3: And سُوِّىَ, [app. for سُوِّئَ,] inf. n. as above, signifies It was, or became, altered [for the worse]; syn. غُيِّرَ. (TA.) 3 ساواهُ, (S, * M, * Msb,) inf. n. مُسَاوَاةٌ (M, Er-Rághib, Msb, TA) and سِوآءٌ, (M,) It was, or became, equal to it, (S, Er-Rághib, Msb, TA,) and like it, in measure, extent, size, bulk, quantity, or amount, and in value, (Msb, TA,) or in linear measure, and in weight, and in the measure of capacity, [as well as in value:] one says هٰذَا لِذٰلِكَ الثَّوْبِ ↓ الثَّوْبُ مُسَاوٍ [This garment, or piece of cloth, is equal in length and breadth to that garment, or piece of cloth]; and هٰذَا الثَّوْبُ لِذٰلِكَ الدِّرْهَمِ ↓ مُسَاوٍ [This garment, or piece of cloth, is equivalent to that dirhem]: and sometimes it means in mode, or manner of being: one says, لِذٰلِكَ السَّوَادِ ↓ هٰذَا السَّوَادُ [This blackness is equal in quality to this blackness]. Er-Rághib, TA.) It is said in a trad., سَاوَى الظِّلُّ التِّلَالَ The shade, or shadow, was like, in its extent, to the mounds, in their height. (TA.) [and ساوى الشَّىْءُ رَأْسَهُ means The thing equalled in height his head: see an ex. of the verb tropically used in this sense voce سِىٌّ.] One says also, هٰذَا يُسَاوِى دِرْهَمًا This is worth, or equal in its value to, a dirhem: and in a rare dial., one says, دِرْهَمًا ↓ سَوِىَ, aor. ـْ (Msb, TA;) which Az disallows, saying, one says ساواه, but not يَسْوَاهُ. (Msb.) And هٰذَا الشَّىْءُ لَا يُسَاوِى كَذَا This thing is not equivalent to [or is not worth] such a thing: (Fr, S:) or لَايُسَاوِى شَيْئًا [It (a garment, or some other thing, M) is not worth anything]: (M, K:) ↓ لا يَسْوَى is of a rare dial., (K,) unknown to Fr, (S,) disallowed by A'Obeyd, but mentioned by others: (M:) Az says that it is not of the language of the Arabs [of pure speech], (Msb, TA,) but is post-classical; and in like manner ↓ لا يُسْوِى is not correct Arabic: this last is with damm to the [first] ى: MF says that the generality of authorities disallow it, and the Fs expressly disallows it, but the expositors thereof say that it is correct and chaste, of the dial. of the people of El-Hijáz, though an instance of a verb of which the aor. only is used. (TA.) One says likewise, ساوى الرَّجُلُ قِرْنَهُ The man equalled his opponent, or competitor, in knowledge, or in courage. (TA.) b2: See also 6.

A2: And see 2, in four places, in the former half of the paragraph.4 اسوى as a trans. verb: see 2, in two places, in the former half of the paragraph. b2: لَايُسْوِى

in the sense of لَايُسَاوِى is not correct Arabic: see 3, in the latter part of the paragraph.

A2: As an intrans. verb: see 8. b2: Also He was like his son, or offspring, [in some copies of the K his father, which, as is said in the TA, is a mistake,] in make, (M, K,) or in symmetry, or justness of proportion; (Fr, TA;) or simply he was like his son, or offspring. (M.) [In this instance, and in all the senses here following that are mentioned in the K, the verb is erroneously written in the CK استوى.] b3: اسوى فِى المَرْأَةِ i. q. أَوْعَبَ, (M, K, TA,) i. e. He inserted the whole of his ذَكَر into the فَرْج [of the woman]. (TA.) A3: Also, [as though originally أَسْوَأَ,] He was, or became, base, abased, object, vile, despicable, or ignominious; syn. خَزِىَ; (M, K;) from السَّوْأَةُ. (TA.) b2: and He voided his ordure; syn. أَحْدَثَ; (Az, M, K;) [likewise] from السَّوْأَةُ, as meaning “ the anus. ” (Az, TA.) b3: And hence, in the opinion of Az, and thought by J to be originally أَسْوَأَ [as he says in the S], (TA,) [though trans.,] He dropped, left out, omitted, or neglected, (S, M, K,) and did so through inadvertence, (S, K,) a thing, (S,) or a letter, or word, of the Kur-án, (M, K,) or a verse thereof: (M:) mentioned by A'Obeyd: (S:) and in like manner, accord. to IAth, in reckoning, and in shooting, or casting: and Hr says that أَشْوَى, with ش, is allowable, as meaning أَسْقَطَ. (TA.) b4: Also He was, or became, affected with بَرَص [or leprosy, which is sometimes termed السُّوْءُ; so that the verb in this sense also seems to be originally أَسْوَأَ]. (TA.) b5: And He was, or became, restored to health, [or free from سُوْءٌ as meaning an evil affection, (as though the verb were in this sense likewise originally أَسْوَأَ, the incipient أ being privative, as it is in many other instances, like the Greek privative

α,)] after a disease, or malady. (TA.) A4: أَسْوَيْتُهُ بِهِ: see Q. Q. 1 in art. اسو.5 تَسَوَّىَ see 8.6 تَسَاوَيَا They two were, or became, equal, like each other, or alike; as also ↓ اِسْتَوَيَا. (M, K.) ↓ استوى has two and more agents assigned to it: one says, استوى زَيْدٌ وُعَمْرُو وَخَالِدٌ فِى هٰذَا [Zeyd and 'Amr and Khálid were equal, or alike, in this]; i. e. تَسَاوَوْا: whence the saying in the Kur [ix. 19], عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ ↓ لَا يَسْتَوُونَ [They will not be equal, or alike, in the sight of God]. (TA.) and one says, تَسَاوَوْا فِى المَالِ They were, or became, equal in respect of the property, none of them exceeding another; as also فِيهِ ↓ اِسْتَوَوْا. (Msb.) It is said in a trad., as some relate it, ↓ مَنْ سَاوَى

يَوْمَاهُ فَهُوَ مَغْبُونٌ, in which the meaning is said to be تَسَاوَى [i. e. He whose two days are alike, neither being distinguished above the other by any good done by him, is weak-minded]. (TA.) And in another it is said, لَا يَزَالُ النَّاسُ بِخَيْرٍ مَا تَفَاضَلُوا فَإِذَا تَسَاوَوْا هَلَكُوا, (S, * TA,) i. e. [Men will not cease to be in a good state while they vie in excellence,] but when they cease from vying in excellent qualities and are content with defect [and thus become alike, they perish]: or when they become equal in ignorance: or when they form themselves into parties and divisions, and every one is alone in his opinion, and they do not agree to acknowledge one exemplar or chief or leader [so that they are all alike]: or, accord. to Az, when they are alike in evil, there being none among them possessed of good. (TA.) 8 استوى [seems, accord. to Bd, to signify primarily He sought, or desired, what was equal, equable, uniform, even, or the like: for he says (in ii. 27) that the primary meaning of الاِسْتِوَآءُ is طلَبُ السَّوَآءِ; app. indicating the sense in which السوآء is here used by what follows. b2: And hence, accord. to him, but I would rather say primarily, as being quasi-pass. of سَوَّاهُ,] It was, or became, equal, equable, uniform, even, level, flat, plane or plain, [or equal in respect of elevation or of depression, (see 2, first sentence,)] straight, right, direct, or rightly directed; syn. اِعْتَدَلَ (S, M, Msb, K, TA, and Ksh and Bd in ii. 27) فِى ذَاتِهِ, (TA,) said of a place, (Msb,) and اِسْتَقَامَ, said of a stick, or piece of wood, &c. (Ksh ubi suprà.) And ↓ سَوَّى, [if not a mistranscription for سُوِّىَ,] inf. n. تَسْوِيَةٌ, signifies the same as استوى [app. meaning as above], accord. to IAar; and so does ↓ أَسْوَى, as also أَوْسَى, formed from it by transposition. (TA.) One says, اِسْتَوَتْ بِهِ الأَرْضُ [lit. The earth, or ground, became equable, uniform, even, &c., with him, he having been buried in it], meaning he perished in the earth; as also ↓ تَسَوَّتْ, and عَلَيْهِ ↓ سُوِّيَتْ. (M, K.) And استوت أَرْضُهُمْ Their land became [even in its surface, being] affected with drought, or barrenness. (M, * TA.) And استوى المَآءُ وَالخَشَبَةَ, meaning مَعَ الخَشَبَةِ [i. e. The water became even, or level, with the piece of wood]. (TA.) See also 6, in four places. One says also, استوى المُعَوَّجُ [or المُعْوجُّ (as in the MA) i. e. The crooked, or uneven, became straight, or even]: (Mgh:) and استوى مِنِ اعُوِجَاجٍ [It became even from a state of unevenness]. (S.) فَــاسْتَوَى عَلَى سُوقِهِ, in the Kur xlviii. last verse, means And has stood straight, or erect, (Bd,) or become strong, and stood straight, or erect, (Jel,) upon its stems. (Bd, Jel. [Golius erroneously assigns a similar meaning to استسوى, a verb which I do not anywhere find.]) And فَــاسْتَوَى in the same, liii. 6, And he stood straight, or erect, in his proper form in which God created him: or was endowed by his strength with power over the affair appointed to him: (Bd:) or became firm, or steady. (Jel.) استوى said of a stick &c. means It stood up or erect: and was, or became, even, or straight: hence one says, استوى إِلَيْهِ كَالسَّهْمِ المُرْسَلِ He, or it, went towards him, or it, with an undeviating, a direct, or a straight, course, like the arrow hot forth: and hence, ثُمَّ اسْتَوَى إِلَى السَّمَآءِ is metaphorically said of God, in the Kur ii. 27 [and xli.

10]; (Ksh;) meaning (tropical:) Then He directed himself by his will to the [heaven, or] elevated regions, (Ksh, Bd,) or upwards, (Ksh,) or to the heavenly bodies; (Bd;) syn. عَمَدَ, (Zj, M, K,) and قَصَدَ (Zj, S, M, K, and Ksh and Bd) بِإِرَادَتِةِ; (Ksh, Bd;) for when الاِسْتِوَآءُ is trans. by means of إِلَى

it imports the meaning of the directing of oneself, or, as in this case, of one's design: (TA;) you say of any one who has finished a work and has directed himself to another, قَدِ اسْتَوَى لَهُ and إِلَيْهِ: (Har p. 631:) or the meaning here is صَعِدَ, (Zj, M, K,) or صَعِدَ أَمْرُهُ [i. e. his command ascended]; (M;) and this is what is intended here by صَعِدَ: (TA:) or أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهَا [i. e. He advanced to it, namely, the heaven]; (Fr, Th, M, K;) like as one says, كَانَ فُلَانٌ مُقْبِلًا عَلَى فُلَانٍ ثُمَّ اسْتَوَى عَلَىَّ يُشَاتِمُنِى and إِلَىّض also, meaning أَقْبَلَ [i. e. Such a one was advancing against such a one, then he advanced against me, and to me, reviling me, or contending with me in reviling]: (TA:) or it means اِسْتَوْلَى, (M, K,) as some say: (M:) J says, [in the S,] but not explaining thereby the verse above cited, that it signifies also اِسْتَوْلَى and ظَهَرَ [as meaning He had, or gained, the mastery, or victory]: and hence the saying of El-Akhtal, cited by him [in the S,] قَدِ اسْتَوَى بِشْرٌ عَلَى العِرَاقِ مِنْ غَيْرِ سَيْفٍ وَدَمٍ مُهْرَاقِ [Bishr has gained the mastery over El-'Irák without sword and without shed blood]: Er-Rághib says that when this verb is trans. by means of عَلَى, it imports the meaning of الاِسْتِيلَآء; as in the saying in the Kur [xx. 4], اَلرَّحْمٰنُ عَلَى

الْعَرْشِ اسْتَوَى [which may be rendered, The Compassionate hath ascendancy over the empyrean so as to have everything in the universe equally within his grasp; agreeably with what here follows]: he then adds, it is said to mean that everything is alike in relation to Him in such manner that no one thing is nearer to Him than another thing, since He is not like the bodies that abide in one place exclusively of another place. (TA.) The saying لَمَّا اسْتَوَتْ بِهِ رَاحِلَتُهُ عَلَى البَيْدَآءِ means [When his riding-camel] ascended with him upon the desert: or stood up with him straight upon its legs. (Mgh.) and one says, استوى عَلَى ظَهْرِ دَابَّتِهِ, (S, TA,) or عَلَى الفَرَسِ, (Msb,) He was, or became, firm, or steady, [or he settled himself, or became firmly seated, or sat firmly,] upon the back of his beast, or upon the horse: (S, Msb, TA:) and استوى جَالِسًا [He became firm, or steady, sitting; or he settled himself in his sitting place; or sat firmly]. (Msb.) [استوى as quasi-pass. of سَوَّاهُ also signifies It was made, or became, symmetrical; congruous, or consistent in its several parts: was made, formed, or fashioned, in a suitable manner: was made, or became, adapted to the exigencies, or requirements, of its case, or of wisdom: was made, or became, complete: was made, or became, right, or good; became rectified, adjusted, or put into a right or good state. And hence,] استوى

الرَّجُلُ i. q. بَلَغَ أَشُدَّهُ [q. v.]; (M, K;) [generally meaning] The man [became full-grown, of full vigour, or mature, in body, or in body and intellect; i. e.] attained the utmost limit of [the period termed] his شَبَاب; (S;) or attained the utmost limit of his شَبَاب, and the completion of his make and of his intellect, by the completion of from twenty-eight to thirty [years]: (T, TA:) or attained to forty (T, M, K) years. (K.) and استوى الطَّعَامُ The food became thoroughly cooked. (Msb.) [خَطُّ الاِسْتِوَآءِ means The equinoctial line.]

سَىٌّ, [app. a dial. var. of سِىٌّ]: see لَا سِيَّمَا, in the next paragraph.

سِىٌّ, originally سِوْىٌ; and its dual: see سَوَآءٌ, in ten places, all except one in the latter half of the paragraph. b2: [Hence,] of him who is, or has become, in a state of wealth, or welfare, [or rather, of abundant wealth or welfare,] one says, هُوَ فِى سِىِّ رَأْسِهِ and رَأْسِهِ ↓ سَوَآءِ, (Fr, S,) or وَقَعَ فِى سِىِّ رَأْسِهِ [in the CK (erroneously) سَىِّ] and رأسه ↓ سَوَآءِ (M, K) and رأسه ↓ سِوَآءِ, (K,) or وَقَعَ رأسه ↓ مِنَ النِّعْمَةِ فِى سِوَآءِ, (Ks, M,) i. e. (assumed tropical:) [He is in, or has lighted upon, or come upon,] what is in the predicament of his head (حُكْمِ رَأْسِهِ) [in point of eminence, of wealth, or welfare]: or what covers his head [thereof]: (M, K:) or what equals his head [in eminence] (يُسَاوِى رَأْسَهُ), of wealth, or welfare: (T, TA:) or what has equalled his head [in eminence], of wealth, or welfare; i. e. what has accumulated upon him, and filled [or satisfied] him: (M:) or [what equals] the number of the hairs of his head, of wealth, or good; (A'Obeyd, S, K;) as some explain it. (A'Obeyd, S.) See also سِنٌّ, last sentence but one. b3: [Hence likewise,] لَا سِيَّمَا, (S, M, Msb, K,) also pronounced لا سِيَمَا, without teshdeed, (Msb, Mughnee, K,) and ↓ لا سَيَّمَا is a dial. var. thereof, (Msb,) a compound of سِىّ and مَا, denoting exception: (S:) one says, لَا سِيَّمَا زَيْدٍ, i. e. لَا مِثْلَ زَيْدٍ [lit. There is not the like of Zeyd; virtually, and generally, meaning above all Zeyd, or especially Zeyd]; مَا being redundant: and لا سيّما زَيْدٌ also; like as one says, دَعْ مَا زَيْدٌ: (M, K:) [J says,] with respect to the case of the noun following ما, there are two ways: you may make مَا to be in the place of الَّذِى, and mean that an inchoative is to be understood, [namely, هو or the like,] and put the noun that you mention in the nom. case as the enunciative; thus you may say, جَآءَنِى القَوْمُ لَا سِيَّمَا أَخُوكَ, meaning لَا سِىَّ الَّذِى

هُوَ أَخُوكَ [i. e. The people, or party, came to me, and there was not the like of him who is thy brother; or above all, or especially, he who is thy brother]: (S, TA: [thus in a copy of the S: in other copies of the same, and in the TA, for سِىَّ, سِيَّمَا:]) but this rendering is invalidated in such a phrase as وَلَا سِيَّمَا زَيْدٌ by the supression of the correlative of the noun in the nom. case where there is no lengthiness, and by the applying ما to denote a rational being: (Mughnee:) or you may put the noun after it in the gen. case, making ما redundant, and making سِىّ to govern the noun in that case because the meaning of سِىّ is مِثْل: [and this is the preferable way:] (Mughnee:) in both of these ways is recited the saying of Imra-el-Keys, أَلَا رُبَّ يُوْمٍ لَكَ مِنْهُنَّ صَالِحٍ وَلَا سِيَّمَا يَوْمٌ بِدَارَةِ جُلْجُلِ [Verily many a good day was there to thee by reason of them; but there was not the like of a day, or above all a day, or especially a day, at Dárat Juljul, a certain pool, where Imra-el-Keys surprised his beloved, 'Oneyzeh, with others, her companions, bathing: see EM pp. 9 and 10]: you say also, أَضْرِبُ القَوْمَ وَلَا سِيَّمَا أَخِيكَ, meaning وَلَا مِثْلَ ضَرْبِ أَخِيكَ [i. e. I will beat the people, or party, but there shall not be the like of the beating of thy brother]: and if you say, وَلَا سِيَّمَا أَخُوكَ, the meaning is, وَلَا مِثْلَ الَّذِى هُوَ أَخُوكَ [and there shall not be the like of him who is thy brother]: in the saying إِنَّ فُلَانًا كَرِيمٌ وَلَا سِيَّمَا إِنْ أَتَيْتَهُ قَاعِدًا, accord. to Akh, ما is a substitute for the affixed pronoun هُ, which is suppressed; the meaning being, وَلَا مِثْلَهُ إِنْ أَتَيْتَهُ قَاعِدًا [i. e. Verily such a one is generous, and there is not the like of him if thou come to him sitting]: (S, TA:) it is said in the Msb, [after explaining that ما in سيّما may be redundant, and the noun after it governed in the gen. case as the complement of a prefixed noun; and that ما may be used in the sense of الّذى, and the noun following put in the nom. case as the enunciative of the inchoative هو which is suppressed;] that, accord. to some, the noun following may be in the accus. case, as being preceded by an exceptive; [or, as a specificative; (Mughnee;) in which case we must regard ما as a substitute for the affixed pronoun هُ;] but that this is not a good way; [and in this case, accord. to the generality of the authorities, it must be an indeterminate noun, not, like زَيْدٌ, determinate: (Mughnee:)] also that سيّما should not be used without لا preceding it: and that it denotes the predominance of what follows it over what precedes it: but it is added that لا is sometimes suppressed [as is said in the Mughnee] because known to be meant, though this is rare. (TA.) One says also, لَاسِىَّ لِمَا فُلَانٌ (Lh, M, K) i. e. There is not the like of such a one: (TA:) and لَا سِيَّكَ مَا فُلَانٌ (Lh, M, K) i. e. Such a one is not the like of thee. (TA.) [In both of these instances, ما is obviously redundant. Other (similar) usages of سِىّ are mentioned voce سَوَآءٌ, to which reference has been made above.] b4: سِىٌّ also signifies A [desert such as is termed]

مُفَازَة; (S, M, K) because of the evenness of its routes, and its uniformity. (TA.) [Hence السِّىُّ is the name of a particular tract, said in the M to be a certain smooth place in the بَادِيَة.] b5: See also art. سيو.

سِيَّة: see سَوَآء, near the end of the paragraph.

سُوًى: see سَوَآءٌ, in seven places: b2: and see also سِوًى, in two places.

سِوًى: see سَوَاءٌ, in seven places. b2: Also, and likewise ↓ سُوًى, (Akh, S, Msb, Mughnee, K,) and ↓ سَوَآءٌ, (Akh, S, M, Mughnee, K,) and ↓ سِوَآءٌ, (Mughnee,) i. q. مَكَانٌ, (Mughnee,) or غَيْرٌ, (Akh, S, M, Msb, Mughnee, K,) accord. to different authorities: each used as an epithet, and as denoting exception, like غَيْر; accord. to Ez-Zejjájee and Ibn-Málik, used in the same sense and manner as غَيْر: but accord. to Sb and the generality of authorities, an adv. n. of place, always in the accus. case, except in instances of necessity: (Mughnee:) one says, عِنْدِى رَجُلٌ سِوَى زَيْدٍ, meaning بَدَلَ زَيْدٍ and مَكَانَ زَيْدٍ [i. e. I have with me a man instead of Zeyd and in the place of Zeyd]: (Ham p. 570, and TA: *) [but] one says [also] مَرَرْتُ بِرَجُلٍ سِوَاكَ and ↓ سُوَاكَ and ↓ سَوَائِكَ, meaning غَيْرِكَ [i. e. I passed by a man other than thee]: (S:) and ↓ جَآءَنِى سَوَاؤُكَ [and سِوَاك &c. Other than thou came to me], using it as an agent; and ↓ رَأَيْتُ سَوَآءَكَ [and سِوَاكَ &c. I saw other than thee], using it as an objective complement: and ↓ مَا جَآءَنِى أَحَدٌ سَوَآءَكَ [and سِوَاكَ &c. None except thou came to me]: and مَا جَآءَنِى أَحَدٌ

↓ سَوَاؤُكَ [and سِوَاكَ &c. None other than thou came to me]: (Mughnee:) and قَصَدْتُ القَوْمَ سِوَى

زَيْدٍ, meaning غَيْرَ زَيْدٍ [i. e. I betook myself to, or towards, the people, or party, others than Zeyd, which is virtually the same as except Zeyd]: (Msb:) and لَئِنْ فَعَلْتَ ذَاكَ وَأَنَا سِوَاكَ لَيَأْتِيَنَّكَ مِنِّى

مَا تَكْرَهُ, meaning [If thou do that] when I am in a land other than thy land, [what thou dislikest, or hatest, shall assuredly come to thee from me.] (Ibn-Buzurj, TA.) b3: The Arabs also said, عَقْلُكَ سِوَاكَ, meaning Thine intellect has departed from thee. (IAar, M.) A2: The strangest of the meanings of سِوَى, in this sense with the short alif and with kesr, is قَصْدٌ. (Mughnee.) سِوَى الشَّىْءِ means قَصْدُهُ [i. e. The tendency, or direction, of the thing]. (M.) And one says, قَصَدْتُ سِوَى

فُلَانٍ, meaning قَصَدْتُ قَصْدَهُ [i. e. I tended, or betook myself, in the direction of, or towards, such a one]. (S, K. * [In the CK, and in my MS. copy of the K, سَوَاهُ is erroneously put for سِوَاهُ.]) And hence, (Mughnee,) a poet says, (namely, Keys Ibn-El-Khateem, TA,) وَلَأَصْرِفَنَّ سِوَى حُذَيْفَةَ مِدْحَتِى

[And I will surely turn towards Hodheyfeh my eulogy]. (S, Mughnee.) سَوَآءٌ [in some copies of the K erroneously written without ء] in its primary acceptation is an inf. n., [but without a proper verb, used as a simple subst.,] meaning Equality, equability, uniformity, or evenness; syn. اِسْتِوَآءٌ; (Mughnee;) as also ↓ سَوِيَّةٌ: (M, K:) or [rather] it is a subst., (S, and Ksh and Bd in ii. 5,) meaning اِسْتِوَآءٌ, (Ksh and Bd ibid.,) from اِسْتَوَى in the sense of اِعْتَدَلَ; (S;) and signifies [as above: and] equity, justice, or rectitude; syn. عَدْلٌ; (S, M, K;) as also ↓ سَوِيَّةً; (M;) and ↓ سِوًى and ↓ سُوًى, as well as سَوَآءٌ, accord. to Fr, are syn. with نَصَفٌ; and accord. to him, (TA,) and to Akh, (S, TA,) syn. with عَدْلٌ; (S, K, TA;) [but app., only syn. with عَدْلٌ and نَصَفٌ not as a subst. but as an epithet, like وَسَطٌ thus used, as will be shown by what follows, although] each said by Er-Rághib to be originally an inf. n. (TA.) One says, هُمَا مِنْ هٰذَا الأَمْرِ ↓ عَلَى سَوِيَّةً, meaning سَوَآءٍ [i. e. They two are on an equality, or on a par, in respect of this affair, or case]: (S, TA:) and ↓ هُمْ عَلَى سَوِيَّةٍ, meaning [likewise] اِسْتِوَآءٌ [i. e. They are on an equality, or on a par], (M, K,) فِى هٰذَا الأَمْرِ [in this affair, or case]. (M.) and ↓ قَسَمْتُ الشَّىْءَ بَيْنَهُمَا بِالسَّوِيَّةِ, (S,) meaning بِالعَدْلِ [i. e. I divided the thing between them two with equity, justice, or rectitude]. (TA.) And it is said in the Kur [viii. 60], فَانْبِذْ إِلَيْهِمْ عَلَى سَوَآءٍ, meaning عَدْلٍ [as expl. in art. نبذ, q. v.]. (S, * TA.) [Hence,] لَيْلَةُ السَّوَآءِ The night of the thirteenth [of the lunar month; the first being that on which the new moon is first seen]; (As, S, K, TA;) in which the moon becomes equable or uniform (يَسْتَوِى) [in illumination]: (TA:) or the night of the fourteenth. (M, K.) b2: and i. q. وَسَطٌ [as meaning The middle, or midst, of a thing]; (S, M, Mughnee, K;) as also ↓ سُوًى and ↓ سِوًى. (Lh, M, K.) Hence, سَوَآءُ الشَّىْءِ The middle, or midst, of the thing; (S, M;) as also ↓ سُوَاهُ and ↓ سِوَاهُ. (Lh, M.) It is said in the Kur [xxxvii. 53,] فَرَآهُ فِى سَوَآءِ الْجَحِيمِ [And he shall see him] in the middle or midst [of the fire of Hell]. (S, * Mughnee, TA.) In like manner also one says سَوَآءُ السَّبِيلِ [The middle of the road]: or, accord. to Fr, it means the right direction of the road or way. (TA.) And one says, اِنْقَطَعَ سَوَائِى, meaning My waist [broke], or my middle. (TA.) And سَوَآءُ النَّهَارِ means The middle of the day. (M, K. [In some copies of the K, مُتَّسَعُهُ is erroneously put for مُنْتَصَفُهُ.]) b3: [Hence, perhaps, as being generally the middle or nearly so,] The summit of a mountain. (M, K.) And An [eminence, or a hill, or the like, such as is termed]

أَكَمَة: or a [stony tract such as is termed] حَرَّة: or the head of a حَرَّة. (M.) A2: It is also used as an epithet; (Mughnee;) and signifies Equal, equable, uniform, or even; syn. ↓ مُسْتَوٍ; (M, Mughnee, K;) applied in this sense to a place; (Mughnee;) as also, thus applied, ↓ سَوِىٌّ, and ↓ سِىٌّ; (M, K;) or these two signify, thus applied, [like سَوَآءٌ as expl. hereafter,] equidistant in respect of its two extremities. (TA.) And as syn. with ↓ مُسْتَوٍ, it is applied [to a fem. noun as well as to a sing., and] to one and more than one, because it is originally an inf. n.; whence the phrase لَيْسُوا سَوَآءً [They are not equal; in the Kur iii. 109]. (Mughnee.) Using it in this sense, one says أَرْضٌ سَوَآءٌ [An even land]: and دَارٌ سَوَآءٌ A house uniform (↓ مُسْتَوِيَةٌ) in respect of the [appertenances termed] مَرَافِق: and ثَوْبٌ سَوَآءٌ A garment, or piece of cloth, equal, or uniform, (↓ مُسْتَوٍ,) in its breadth and its length and its two lateral edges: but one does not say جَمَلٌ سَوَآءٌ, nor حَمَارٌ سَوَآءٌ, nor رَجُلٌ سَوَآءٌ: (M, TA:) though one says رَجُلٌ سَوَآءُ البَطْنِ A man whose belly is even with the breast: and سَوَآءُ القَدَمِ having no hollow to the sole of his foot. (TA.) One says also الخَلْقِ ↓ رَجُلٌ سَوِىٌّ, (S, M,) meaning ↓ مُسْتَوٍ

[i. e. A man uniform in make, or symmetrical; or full-grown, of full vigour, or mature in body, or in body and intellect: see 8]: (S:) and رَجُلٌ ↓ سَوِىٌّ A man equally free from excess and deficiency in his dispositions and his make: (Er-Rághib, TA:) or sound in limbs: (TA voce مِرَّةٌ, q. v.:) and ↓ غُلَامٌ سَوِىٌّ A boy, or young man, uniform in make, or symmetrical, (الخَلْقِ ↓ مُسْتَوِى,) without disease, and without fault, or defect: (Mgh:) and the fem. is سَوِيَّةٌ. (M.) Accord. to Er-Rághib, ↓ السَّوِىُّ signifies That which is preserved from excess and deficiency: and hence ↓ الصِّرَاطِ السَّوِىِّ [in Kur xx. last verse, as though meaning The road, or way that neither exceeds, nor falls short of, that which is right]; (Er-Rághib, TA;) the right, or direct, road: (Bd, Jel:) and some read السَّوَآءِ, meaning the middle, good, road: and السَّوْءِ (Ksh, Bd) i. e. the evil, or bad, road: (Bd:) and السُّوْءَى [i. e. most evil, or worst; fem. of أَسْوَأُ; for الصِّرَاطُ is fem. as well as masc.]: (Ksh, Bd:) [and] ↓ السُّوَىَ, of the measure فُعْلَى from السَّوَآءُ, [with which it is syn.,] or originally السُّوْءَى [mentioned above]: (K:) and ↓ السُّوَىِّ, (Ksh, Bd,) which is dim. of السَّوَآء, (Lth, TA,) [or] as dim. of السَّوْء [in which case it is for السُّوَىْءِ]. (Ksh, Bd.) b2: [Hence,] it signifies also Complete: (Mughnee:) you say, هٰذَا دِرْهَمٌ سَوَآءٌ (M, Mughnee) This is a complete dirhem; (Mughnee;) using the last word as an epithet: and سَوَآءً also, using it as an inf. n., as though you said اِسْتِوَآءً: and in like manner in the Kur xli. 9, some road سَوَآءً; and others, سَوَآءٍ. (M.) b3: And Equitable, just, or right; syn. عَدْلٌ: used in this sense in the saying in the Kur [iii. 57], تَعَالَوْا إِلَى كَلِمَةٍ سَوَآءٍ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكُمْ [Come ye to an equitable, or a just, or right, sentence, or proposition, between us and you]. (Az, TA.) b4: And Equidistant, or midway, (عَدْلٌ, and وَسَطٌ, S, or نَصَفٌ, Mughnee,) between two parties, (S,) or between two places; (Mughnee;) applied as an epithet to a place; as also ↓ سِوًى and ↓ سُوًى; (S, Mughnee;) of which three words the second (سِوًى) is the most chaste; (Mughnee;) or the last two signify equal (مُسْتَوٍ) in respect of its two extremities; and are used as epithets and as adv. ns.; originally, inf. ns. (Er-Rághib, TA.) ↓ مَكَانًا سِوًى and ↓ سُوًى, (M, K,) in the Kur xx. 60, accord. to different readings, means A place equidistant, or midway, (Ksh, Bd, Jel,) between us and thee, (Ksh, Bd,) or to the comer from each of the two extremities: (Jel:) or مَكَانٌ سِوًى and سُوًى means مُعْلَمٌ [i. e. a place marked], (so in a copy of the M and in one of the K,) or مَعْلَمٌ, (so in other copies of the K and in the TA,) which is for ذُو مَعْلَمٍ, meaning having a mark, or sign, by which one is guided, or directed, thereto. (MF, TA.) b5: [Also Equal, or alike, in any respect.] One says, مَرَرْتُ بِرَجُلٍ سَوَآءٍ وَالعَدَمُ, (M, Mughnee, K,) and وَالعَدَمُ ↓ سِوَآءٍ, (K,) and وَالعَدَمُ ↓ سِوًى, and وَالعَدَمُ ↓ سُوًى, (M, K,) meaning وُجُودُهُ وَعَدَمُهُ سَوَآءٌ [i. e. I passed by a man whose existence and whose non-existence are equal, or alike, to me, or in my opinion]: (M, K: *) and Sb mentions the phrase, سَوَآءٌ هُوَ وَالعَدَمُ [as meaning His existence and his nonexistence are equal, or alike, to me]. (M.) and سَوَآءٌ عَلَىَّ قُمْتَ أَوْ قَعَدْتَ [It is equal, or alike, to me, that thou stand or that thou sit, or whether thou stand or sit; or that thou stand or that thou sit is equal, or alike, to me: see Kur ii. 5, and the expositions thereof]. (S.) [And ↓ سِوًى is used as an adv. n., or as an inf. n. adverbially, meaning Alike: see an ex. in a verse cited voce سَبْتٌ.] b6: Also A like; a similar person or thing; (S, M, K;) and so ↓ سِىٌّ: [each used as masc. and fem.; and the former as sing. and dual and pl., though having proper dual and pl. forms:] the pl. of the former is أَسْوَآءٌ, (S, M, K,) and also, (S, * K,) but anomalous, (S,) or [rather] quasi-pl. ns., all anomalous, (M,) ↓ سَوَاسِيَةٌ (S, M, K) and ↓ سَوَاسٍ and ↓ سَوَاسِوَةٌ: (M, K:) and أَسْوَآءٌ is also pl. of ↓ سِىٌّ: (TA:) as to ↓ سَوَاسِيَةٌ, Akh says, سَوَآءٌ is of the measure فَعَالٌ, and سِيَةٌ may be of the measure فِعَةٌ or فِلَةٌ, the former of which is the more agreeable with analogy, the و being changed into ى in سِيَةٌ because of the kesreh before it, for it is originally سِوْيَةٌ; and it is from أَسْوَيْتُ الشَّىْءَ meaning “ I neglected the thing: ” [see 4:] (S:) accord. to Aboo-'Alee, the ى in سَوَاسِيَةٌ is changed from the و in سَوَاسِوَةٌ, in which latter some preserve it to show that it is the final radical: (M:) accord. to Fr, سَوَاسِيَةٌ has no sing., and relates only to equality in evil: (T, TA:) so in the saying, سَوَاسِيَةٌ كَأَسْنَانِ الحِمَارِ [Equals like the teeth of the ass]. (TA.) It requires two [or more nouns for its subjects]: you say, سَوَآءٌ زَيْدٌ وَعَمْرٌو, meaning ذَوَا سَوَآءٍ [i. e., lit., Two possessors of equality, or likeness, are Zeyd and 'Amr], (M, K,) because it is [originally] an inf. n.: (M:) and هُمَا فِى هٰذَا الأَمْرِ سَوَآءٌ [They two are in this affair, or case, likes]: (S:) and هُمَا سَوَاآنِ (S, M, K) and ↓ سِيَّانِ i. e. They two are likes: (S, M, Mgh, Msb, K:) and هُمْ سَوَآءٌ and أَسْوَآءٌ and ↓ سَوَاسِيَةٌ i. e. They are likes; (S; [the first and last of these three are mentioned in the Mgh as identical in meaning;]) or, accord. to Fr, the last means they are equals in evil, not in good: (T, TA:) and ↓ مَاهُوَ لَكَ بِسِىٍّ He is not a person like to thee: and مَاهُمْ لَكَ بِأَسْوَآءٍ [They are not persons like to thee]: (Lh, M:) and ↓ مَاهِىَ لَكَ بِسِىٍّ (Lh, M, K *) i. e. She is not a person like to thee: (TA:) and مَاهُنَّ لَكَ بِأَسْوَآءٍ [They (females) are not persons like to thee]: and لِمَنْ فَعَلَ ذَاكَ ↓ لَا سِىَّ [There is not a like to him who did that]: and إِذَا فَعَلْتَ ذَاكَ ↓ لَا سِيَّكَ [There is not the like of thee when thou doest that]: (Lh, M, K:) and فُلَانٍ ↓ لَا سِيَّةَ (K) [There is not the like of such a one: in the CK, فُلَانٌ: perhaps the right reading is فُلَانٌ ↓ لَا سِيَّكَ Such a one is not the like of thee]. سَوَآءٌ and ↓ سِيَّانِ should not be used with أَوْ in the place of وَ except by poetic license: one of the exceptions to this rule is the saying of Aboo-Dhu-eyb, وَكَانَ سِيَّانِ أَلَّا يَسْرَحُوا نَعَمًا أَوْ يَسْرَحُوهُ بِهَا وَاغْبَرَّتِ السُّوحُ [And they were two like cases that they should not send forth cattle to pasture or send him forth with them when the tracts were very dusty by reason of drought]. (M.) For two other exs. of سَوَآء, [as well as of its syn. سِىّ, and for لَا سِيَّمَا also,] see سِىٌّ. b7: See also سِوًى in six places.

سِوَآءٌ: see سِىٌّ, second sentence, in two places: and سَوَآءٌ also, in the latter half of the paragraph: b2: and see سِوًى. b3: بَعَثُوا بِالسِّوَآءِ وَاللِّوَآءِ means (assumed tropical:) They sent seeking, or demanding, aid, or succour. (K in art. لوى. [The proper signification of السِّوَآء in this instance I do not find explained.]) سَوِىٌّ: see سَوَآءٌ, in the former half of the paragraph, in six places.

سُوَىٌّ: see سَوَآءٌ, in the middle of the paragraph.

سَوِيَّةٌ: see سَوَآءٌ, in five places. b2: [Also fem. of سَوِىٌّ. b3: And hence, as a subst.,] A kind of vehicle of female slaves and of necessitous persons: (K:) or a [garment of the kind called] كِسَآء, stuffed with panic grass (ثُمَام), (S, M, K, and L in art. كرب,) or palm-fibres (لِيف), (M,) or the like, (S, M, and L ubi suprà,) resembling the بَرْذَعَة [q. v.], (S, and L ubi suprà,) which is put on the back of the camel, (M,) or on the back of the ass &c., (L ubi suprà,) and which is one of the vehicles of female slaves and of necessitous persons: (M:) and likewise such as is put upon the back of the camel, but in the form of a ring because of the hump, and [also] called حَوِيَّةٌ [q. v.]: pl. سَوَايَا. (S.) سَوَاسٍ and سَوَاسِوَةٌ and سَوَاسِيَةٌ: see سَوَآءٌ, in the latter half of the paragraph; the last of them in three places.

سَوَّآءٌ لَوَّآءٌ, each of the measure فَعَّالٌ, irregularly derived from اِسْتَوَى and اِلْتَوَى; a prov., applied to women, meaning Straight and bending, and collecting together and separating; not remaining in one state, or condition. (Meyd.) b2: and أَرْضٌ سَوَّآءٌ Land of which the earth, or dust, is like sand. (IAth, TA.) سَايَةٌ is [held by some to be] of the measure فَعْلَةُ from التَّسْوِيَةُ [inf. n. of سوّى]; (K;) mentioned by Az on the authority of Fr; but in copies of the T, فَعْلَةٌ from السَّوِيَّةُ. (TA.) One says, ضَرَبَ لِى سَايَةً, meaning He prepared for me a speech: (K:) or an evil speech, which he framed (سَوَّاهَا) against me to deceive me: mentioned by Az on the authority of Fr. (TA.) [See the same word in art. سوأ.]

أَسْوَى [More, and most, equal, equable, uniform, or even: and more, or most, equitable, &c.]. One says, هٰذَا المَكَانُ أَسْوَى هٰذِهِ الأَمْكِنَةِ i. e. [This place is] the most even [of these places]. (M.) تَسْوَآءٌ An even place; occurring in a trad.: the ت is augmentative. (TA.) مُسْوٍ [act. part. n. of 4]. One says in answer to him who asks, “How have ye entered upon the morning? ” (S,) or “ How have ye entered upon the evening? ” (M, TA,) مُسْوُونَ صَالِحُونَ [as enunciatives of نَحْنُ understood], (S, M,) or صَالِحِينَ ↓ مُسْتَوِينَ [as enunciatives of أَصْبَحْنَا or أَمْسَيْنَا understood, but I think that مُسْتَوِينَ is a mistranscription for مُسْوِينَ], meaning In a good, right, state, with respect to our children and our cattle. (S, M, TA.) مُسَاوٍ: see 3, in three places.

مُسْتَوٍ: see سَوَآءٌ, in the former half of the paragraph, in six places: and see also مُسْوٍ. [هِلَالٌ مُسْتَوٍ: see أَدْفَقُ.]

خلق

1 خَلْقٌ signifies The act of measuring; or determining the measure, proportion, or the like, of a thing; and the making a thing by measure, or according to the measure of another thing; or proportioning a thing to another thing; syn. تَقْدِيرٌ: (S, Msb, K, TA, and Bd in ii. 19:) this is the primary meaning. (Msb, TA, and Bd ubi suprà.) You say, خَلَقَ الأَدِيمِ, (S, Msb, K,) aor. ـُ (S, TA,) inf. n. خَلْقٌ (JK, S, Msb, K) and خَلْقَةٌ, (K,) He measured, or proportioned, (قَدَّرَ,) the hide, and sewed it: (K:) or he measured, or proportioned, (قدّر,) the hide, (JK, S, Msb, K,) لِمَا يُرِيدُ [for, or to, that which he desired to make of it], (JK, * TA,) or لِلسِّقَآءِ [for, or to, the skin for water or milk that he desired to make], (Msb,) before cutting it; (S, K, TA;) he measured it (قَاسَهُ) to cut from it a water-bag, or a water-skin, or a boot: (TA:) and in like manner, خَلَقَ النِّطَعَ he measured, &c., the نطع [q. v.]: when one cuts it, one says, فَرَاهُ. (K.) And خَلَقَ النَّعْلَ He determined the measure of the sandal, or proportioned it; (قَدَّرَهَا;) and made it by measure. (Ksh and Bd in ii. 19.) Hence the saying of Zuheyr, (S,) praising Herim Ibn-Sinán, (TA,) وَلَأَنْتَ تَفْرِى مَا خَلَقْتَ وَبَعْ(??) (??)ضُ القَوْمِ يَخْلُقُ ثُمَّ لَا يَفْرِى

[(assumed tropical:) And thou indeed cuttest what thou hast measured; but some of the people measure, then will not cut]: (S, TA:) i. e., when thou determinest upon a thing thou executest it; but others determine upon that which they do not execute. (TA.) And El-Hajjáj said, مَا خَلَقْتُ إِلَّا قَرَيْتُ وَعَدْتُ

إِلَّا وَفَيْتُ [(assumed tropical:) I have not measured unless I have afterwards cut, and I have not promised unless I have afterwards performed]. (S.) أَخْلُقُ لَكُمْ مِنَ الطِّينِ كَهَيْئَةِ الطَّيْرِ, in the Kur iii. 43, means I will form for you, (Jel,) or I will make according to its proper measure (أُقَدِّرُ) for you, (Ksh, Bd,) and will form, (Bd,) of clay, a thing like the form of the bird, or of birds. (Ksh, Bd, Jel.) b2: [Hence,] it signifies also The bringing a thing into existence according to a certain measure, or proportion, and so as to make it equal [to another thing], or uniform [therewith]: (Ksh and Bd in ii. 19:) or the originating, or producing, [a thing] after a pattern, or model, which one has devised, not after the similitude of anything preexisting: this is another meaning which it has in the [classical] language of the Arabs. (TA.) As the act of God, it signifies The originating, or bringing into being or existence, anything, not after the similitude of anything pre-existing: (TA:) [and the creating a thing; and thus it is generally best rendered; as meaning the bringing into existence from a state of non-existence: for]

خَلَقَ اللّٰهُ الشَّىْءَ, inf. n. خَلْقٌ, means God brought the thing into existence (Mgh, * TA) after it had not been: (TA:) [or خَلْقٌ, as the act of God, signifies the creating out of nothing: for it is said that] أُعْبُدُوا رَبَّكُمُ الَّذِى خَلَقَكُمْ, in the Kur ii. 19, means [Serve ye your Lord] who brought you into existence when ye were nothing. (Jel. [But in other passages of the Kur (vi. 2 &c.) it is said that God created (خَلَقَ) mankind of clay.]) Accord. to the A, خَلَقَ اللّٰهُ الخَلْقَ is a tropical phrase, meaning (tropical:) God brought into existence the creation, or created beings, or mankind, according to a predetermination (تَقْدِير) required by wisdom. (TA.) You say, هٰذِهِ خَلِيقَتُهُ الَّتِى خُلِقَ عَلَيْهَا and خُلِقَهَا and الَّتِى خُلِقَ: see خُلُقٌ. (Lh.) b3: [Hence, also,] خَلَقَ, (S, Msb, K, TA,) inf. n. خَلْقٌ, (TA,) (tropical:) He fabricated speech, or a saying or sentence, &c.: (K, * TA:) (tropical:) he forged (S, Msb, K, TA) a saying, (Msb,) or a lie, or a falsehood; (S, K, TA;) as also ↓ اختلق (S, Msb, K) and ↓ تخلّق. (S, K.) The Arabs say, حَدَّثَنَا فُلَانٌ بِأَحَادِيثِ الخَلْقِ (tropical:) Such a one related to us fictitious tales or stories, such as are deemed pretty, or such as are told by night [for entertainment]. (TA.) And it is said in the Kur [xxvi. 137], accord. to one reading, إِنْ هٰذَا إِلَّا خَلْقُ الأَوَّلِينَ, meaning (tropical:) This is nought but the lying, and forging, of the ancients. (TA.) and in the same [xxxviii. 6], ↓ إِنْ هٰذَا إِلَّا اخْتِلَاقٌ (tropical:) This is nought but forging, and lying. (TA.) b4: خَلَقَهُ, (K,) inf. n. خَلْقٌ, (TA,) also signifies He made it smooth; (K;) and so ↓ خلّقهُ; namely, an arrow, (S,) [and any other thing; for] of anything that has been made smooth one says, خُلِّقَ: (TA:) he made it equable, or even; namely, wood, or a stick; and so ↓ خلّقهُ, (K,) inf. n. تَخْلِيقٌ. (TA.) A2: خَلُقَتْ, inf. n. خَلَاقَةٌ, said of a woman, (JK, K,) She had [a goodly] body and make: (JK:) or she was, or became, goodly in make, or well made. (K.

(TA.) [See also 12.

And it seems that one says, خَلِقَتِ الصَّخْرَةُ, inf. n. خَلَقٌ, q. v. infrà, meaning The rock was free from crack or fracture.] b3: And خَلُقَ, (JK, S, Msb, K,) aor. ـُ (K;) and خَلِقَ, aor. ـَ and خَلَقَ, aor. ـُ (K;) inf. n. (of the first, JK, S) خُلُوقَةٌ (JK, S, K) and خَلَاقَةٌ (JK, TA) and [of the second] خَلَقٌ (K) and [of the third] خُلُوقٌ; (JK, TA;) It (a garment) was, or became, old, and worn out; as also ↓ اخلق, (JK, S, Msb,) inf. n. إِخْلَاقٌ; (JK, TA;) and ↓ اخلولق. (TA.) [Hence,] دِيبَاجُهُ ↓ اخلق [lit.] His face became worn out; meaning (tropical:) it became used for mean service [so that it lost its grace, or was disgraced,] by his begging. (Har p. 476. [See also 4 below.]) [Hence also,] شَبَابَهُ ↓ اخلق (assumed tropical:) His youth declined, or departed.

You say, خَلُقَ لذٰلِكَ [and بِذٰلِكَ (see خَلِيقٌ) He was, or became, adapted, disposed, &c., for that]; as though he were one of those in whom that was reckoned to be, and in whom the symptoms, signs, or tokens, thereof were seen. (S.) [And خَلُقَ أَنْ يَفْعَلَ ذٰلِكَ and بِأَنْ يفعل ذلك and لِأَنْ يفعل ذلك and مَنْ أَنْ يفعل ذلك He was, or became, adapted, &c., to do that: see خَلِيقٌ. And خَلُقَ may signify also It was, or became, probable; or likely to happen or be, or to have happened or been: see, again, خَلِيقٌ.]2 خلّقهُ: see 1, latter half, in two places.

A2: Also, (S, K,) inf. n. تَخْلِيقٌ, (K,) He rubbed him over with خَلُوق [q. v.]: (S:) or he perfumed him: (K:) or خلّقهُ بِخَلُوقٍ he perfumed him with خلوق (TA.) And خَلَّقْتُ المَرْأَةَ بِالخَلُوقِ [I perfumed the woman, or rubbed her over, with the خلوق]. (Msb.) And خَلَّقَتْ جِسْمَهَا She (a woman) rubbed her body and limbs over with خلوق.

(TA.) One says, خَالِصِ المُؤْمِنَ وَخَالِقِ الفَاجِرَ, (S,) or وخالق الكَافِرَ, (TA,) [Act thou with reciprocal sincerity towards the believer, and comport thyself with the vitious, or the unbeliever, according to his nature, &c. See also 3 in art. خلص, where a similar saying is mentioned.]4 اخلق: see 1, latter part, in three places. b2: Also He had old and worn-out garments. (TA.)

[Hence also,] one says to the beggar, أَخْلَقْتَ وَجْهَكَ (tropical:) (TA) [lit. Thou hast worn out thy face;] meaning (tropical:) thou hast used thy face for mean service [so that it has lost its grace, or has become disgraced]: and in like manner one says, أُخْلِقُ لَهُ دِيَبَاجَتِى, i. e. وَجْهِى: and يُخْلِقُ دِيبَاجَتَيْهِ (tropical:) He uses his face for mean service by begging. (Har pp. 15 and 476.) b2: Also, (K,) or اخلقهُ ثَوْبًا, (S,) He clad him with an old and worn-out garment. (S, K.) and اخلقِنى ثَوْبَهُ He gave me his old and worn-out garment. (JK.) And some say, اخلقهُ خَلَقًا He gave him an old and worn-out garment. (TA.) b3: And إِخْلَاقٌ الثَّوْبِ also signifies The cutting out of the garment: whence the saying, to UmmKhálid, أَبْلِى وَأَخْلِقِى [Wear out, and cut out new]; or, as some relate it, وَأَخْلِفِى, i. e., “and replace,” which is the more likely. (TA.) A3: مَا أَخْلَقَهُ and أَخْلِقْ بِهِ [have both of the following significations; though it is said that] the former signifies How likely is he, or it! (JK, TA;) and the latter, How well adapted or disposed, or how apt, meet, suited, suitable, fitted, fit, competent, or proper, or how worthy, is he, or it! i. q. أَجْدِرْ بِهِ and أَحْرِ بِهِ. (TA. [See 4 in arts. جدر and حرى.]) 5 تَخَلَّقَ see 1, a little after the middle of the paragraph. b2: تخلّق بِغَيْرِ خُلُقِهِ means He affected a خُلُق [or nature, &c.,] that was not his own. (S, K.) And تخلّق بِكَذَا He feigned such a thing, it not being in his nature, or not being created in him. (TA.) And تخلّق لِلنَّاسِ بِمَا لَيْسَ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ, occurring in a trad., [He affected, to men, a nature, &c., that did not belong to him; or] he pretended [to men] that there was in his nature فِى

خُلُقِهِ) that which was contrary to his real intention; (Mbr, TA;) or that which was contrary to what he had in his heart: the verb is similar to تَصَنَّعَ and تَجَمَّلَ. (TA.) A2: تخلّق بِهِ; (S, K;) and تخلّقت به; (Msb;) He was, or became, rubbed over, (S,) or perfumed; (K;) and she was, or became, so; (Msb;) [or he rubbed himself over, or perfumed himself; and she did so;] with it; (S, Msb, K;) namely, with خَلُوق. (S, Msb.) 8 إِخْتَلَقَ see 1, latter half, in two places.12 اخلولق, said of the back (مَتْن) of a horse, It was, or became, smooth; (K;) [like خَلِقَ and خَلُقَ; or very smooth; for] the verb is of a form intensive in signification. (TA. [See its part. n., مَخْلَوْلِقٌ, below.]) b2: Said of a رَسْم [i. e. a trace, or a remain or relic marking the place of a house or the like and cleaving to the ground,] It was, or became, even with the ground. (S, K.) b3: اخلولق السَّحَابُ The clouds became equable, or uniform, (JK, S, K, TA,) their sides becoming conjoined; or, as some say, they became smooth; (TA;) and, (K,) or as some say, (S, TA,) they became adapted, or disposed, to rain; (S, K, TA;) as though they were rendered smooth: or they became collected together after separation, and prepared to rain. (TA.) And اخلولقت السَّمَآءُأَنْ تَمْطُرَ The sky was near, and likely, to rain. (TA.) b4: See also 1, latter part.

خَلْقٌ inf. n. of خَلَقَ. (JK, S, Msb, K, &c.) You say رَجُلٌ تَامُّ الخَلْقِ [A man complete, or perfect, in respect of make, or proportion, &c.]. (S, K. * [See also خِلْقَةٌ.]) [In this and similar instances,] الخَلْق signifies The fashion of the outer man, and its [peculiar] qualities and attributes; like as الخُلُقُ signifies “ the fashion of the inner man,” &c. (TA.) b2: الخَلْقُ is also used in the sense of ↓ المَخْلُوقُ [meaning What is created; the creature]: (TA, and Bd in xxiii. 17, &c.:) [and, collectively, the creation; as meaning the beings, or things, that are created;] all created things: (Bd ubi suprà, &c.:) and [particularly] mankind; as also ↓ الخلِيقَةُ: (S, * K:) and mankind and the jinn, or genii, and others: (Jel in lv. 9, &c.:) and ↓ الخلِيقَةُ and [its pl.] خَلَائِقُ signify the same: you say, هُمْ خَلِيقَةُ اللّٰهِ and also هُمْ خَلقُ اللّٰهِ [They are the creatures of God]: الخَلْقُ being originally an inf. n.: (S, TA:) and Lh mentions [an instance of its having a pl., in] the saying, لَا وَالَّذِى خَلَقَ الخُلُوقَ مَا فَعَلْتُ كَذَا, meaning [No, by Him who created] all creatures, [I did not such a thing.] (TA.) In the saying, فَلَيُغَيِّرُنَّ خَلْقَ اللّٰهِ, in the Kur [iv. 118, lit. and they shall alter the creature of God], some say that castration is meant: (TA: [and Bd includes, with this, other unnatural actions:]) or the meaning is, the religion of God; (Bd, Jel, TA;) accord. to El-Hasan and Mujáhid. (TA.) and لَا تَبْدِيلَ لِخَلْقِ اللّٰهِ, in the Kur [xxx. 29], means, accord. to Katádeh, [There shall be no changing, or altering,] of the religion of God. (TA.) b3: خَلْقٌ also signifies Anything made smooth. (TA.) [See also مُخَلَّقٌ.]

خُلْقٌ: see خُلُقٌ, in four places.

خَلَقُ inf. n. of خَلِقَ: as such, signifying The being smooth [&c.]. (JK, S. *) [As such also,] in a rock, Freedom from crack or fracture. (S, K.) b2: [And, as such,] The being old, and worn out. (K.) b3: [Hence, used as an epithet,] Old, and worn out: (S, Msb, K:) [and as an epithet in which the quality of a subst. is predominant; meaning an old and worn-out garment or piece of cloth:] pl. خُلْقَانٌ (S, K) and أَخْلَاقٌ. (S, * K, * TA.) And [as an epithet] it is masc. and fem.; (S, K;) because it is originally an inf. n., the inf. n. of أَخْلَقُ meaning “ smooth,” (S,) [or rather of خَلِقَ meaning “ it was, or became, old, and worn out; ” although it has pls.; and] IB mentions an instance of its dual, خَلَقَانِ: (TA:) Ks says, We have not heard them say, خَلَقَةٌ in any instance: (Lh, TA:) Fr says that it is without ة [as a fem. epithet] because it was originally used as a prefixed noun; for one said, أَعْطِنِى

خَلَقَ جُبَّتِكَ and خَلَقَ عِمَامَتِكَ [lit. meaning Give thou to me what is old, and worn out, of thy جبّة and of thy turban]; but Ez-Zejjájee says that this is nought. (TA.) You say ثَوْبٌ خَلَقٌ [An old and worn-out garment or piece of cloth], and مِلْحَفَةٌ خَلَقٌ [an old and worn-out outer wrapping garment]: (S:) also رُمَّةٌ خَلَقٌ [an old and worn-out piece of rope]: and دَارٌ خَلَقٌ [an old and decayed house]: and جِسْمٌ خَلَقٌ [an old and wasted body]. (TA.) One says also ثَوْبٌ

أَخْلَاقٌ, meaning A garment, or piece of cloth, altogether, or wholly, old and worn out; (Fr, S, K;) every portion of it being خَلَق; (Fr;) like as they said بُرْمَةٌ أَعْشَارٌ &c.: (S:) and in like manner, مُلَآءَةٌ أَخْلَاقٌ. (IAar.) And Ks mentions the saying, أَصْبَحَتْ ثِيَابُهُمْ خُلْقَانًا وَ خَلَقُهُمْ جُدُدًا [Their garments became old, and worn out; and their old and worn-out garments became replaced by new]; with the sing. [in the latter clause] in the place of the pl. خُلْقَان: (TA:) or جُدُدًا may be here put for جَدِيدًا. (L in art. جد.) In the phrase ↓ مِلْحَفَةٌ خُلَيْقٌ [An outer wrapping garment that is a little, or somewhat, old, and worn out], the dim. is without ة because it is [the dim. of] an epithet [applied without ة to a fem. n.], and ة is not affixed to the dims. of epithets [of this kind]: it is like نُصَيُفٌ dim. of نَصَفٌ an epithet applied to a woman. (S, K. * [See Lumsden's Arab. Gram. p. 623: but some of the grammarians consider these instances as anomalous.]) b4: بَاعَهُ بِيعَةَ الخَلَقِ, and بَيْعَ ذِى الخَلَقِ, the latter as used by a poet, [lit. He bought it, or sold it, (app. the former,) as one buys, or sells, the old and worn-out garment, like as we say “ dogcheap,” and “ cheap as dirt ”], are phrases mentioned, but not explained, by IAar, who cites the following saying: أَبْلِغْ فَزَارَةَ أَنِّى قَدْ شَرَيْتُ لَهَا مَجْدَ الحَيَاةِ بِسَيْفِى بَيْعَ ذِى الخَلَقِ [app. meaning Tell thou Fezárah that I have purchased for them life-long glory (lit. the glory of life), with my sword, as cheaply, i. e as easily, as one purchases the old and worn-out garment]. (TA.) b5: سَحَابَةٌ خَلَقَةٌ: see the next paragraph.

خَلِقٌ [part. n. of خَلِقَ]. b2: [Hence,] سحَابَةٌ خَلِقَةٌ A cloud in which is a sign, or trace, of rain; as also ↓ خَلِيقَةٌ: (S, K:) or a cloud giving hope of rain; as also ↓ خَلْقَآءُ; (JK;) both are said by IAar to signify the same: (TA:) and ↓ خَلَقَةٌ [alone, as a subst., or probably سَحَابَةٌ خَلَقَةٌ,] a cloud that is equable, or uniform, giving hope of rain. (Aboo-Sa'eed, K.) خُلُقٌ (S, Msb, K) and ↓ خُلْقٌ (S, K) A nature; or a natural, a native, or an innate, disposition or temper or the like; syn. سَجِيَّةٌ, (S, Msb, K, TA,) and طَبْعٌ; (K, TA;) of which one is created: (TA:) and ↓ خِلْقَةٌ signifies [the same; i. e.] the فِطْرَةٌ [or nature, &c.,] (S, Msb, K, TA) of which a man is created; (TA;) like [خُلُقٌ and] ↓ خُلْقٌ: (K, TA: [in the CK, erroneously, خَلْق:]) and ↓ خَلِيقَةٌ [also] signifies [the same; i. e.] the طَبِيعَة [or nature, &c.,] (S, K, TA) with which a man is created: (TA:) the proper signification of خُلُقٌ is [the moral character; or] the fashion of the inner man; i. e. his mind, or soul, and its peculiar qualities and attributes; like as خَلْقٌ signifies the “ fashion of the outer man, and its [peculiar] qualities and attributes: ”

it signifies also custom or habit [as being a second nature]: (TA:) and, as also ↓ خُلْقٌ, [which is merely a contraction thereof, and therefore identical with it in all its senses,] manliness; syn. مُرُوْءَةٌ: and religion: (IAar, K:) the pl. is أَخْلَاقٌ only: (TA:) [this is often used as signifying morals: and ethics:] and the pl. of ↓ خَلِيقَةٌ in the sense explained above [said in Har p. 193 to be that of خُلُقٌ] is خَلَائِقٌ. (S.) It is said in a trad., لَيْسَ شَىْءٌ فِى المِيزَانِ أَثْقَلَ مِنْ حُسْنِ الخُلُقِ [Nothing is heavier in the balance in which good and evil will be weighed than goodness of the moral character, &c.] (TA.) And one says, عَلَيْهَا ↓ الَّتِى خُلِقَ ↓ هٰذِهِ خَلِيقَتُهُ and ↓ خُلِقَهَا and ↓ الَّتِى خُلِقَ This is his nature, &c., of which he was created. (Lh.) And ↓ إِنَّهُ لَكَرِيمُ الخَلِيقَةِ Verily he is generous in respect of nature, &c. (Az.) And صَارَ ذٰلِكَ لَهُ خُلُقًا That became to him [a second nature, a habit, or] a thing to which he was habituated. (TA.) It is said in the Kur [xxvi. 137], إِنْ هٰذَا إِلَّا خُلُقُ الأَوَّلِينَ This is nought but a custom of the ancients. (TA.) And in the same [lxviii. 4], وَ إِنَّكَ لَعَلَى خُلُقٍ عَظِيمٍ and verily thou art of a great religion. (Jel, TA.) And in a trad. of 'Áïsheh, كَانَ خُلُقُهُ القَرْآنَ, meaning That whereto he clung was the Kur-án, with its rules of discipline and its command and its prohibitions, and the excellences and beauties and gracious things comprised in it. (TA.) b2: نَوْمَةُ الخُلقِ [i. e. الخُلُقِ or ↓ الخُلْقِ] The sleep of midday, which was prescribed by the Prophet. (Har p. 223. [See also حُمْقٌ and خُرْقٌ.]) خُلْقَةٌ Smoothness; (K, TA;) as also ↓ خُلُوقَةٌ and ↓ خَلَاقَةٌ: (K:) but the second of these three, correctly speaking, [as also the third, accord. to analogy, and perhaps the first also,] is an inf. n. of خَلُقَ. (TA.) خِلْقَةٌ [primarily signifies A mode, or manner, of خَلْق, generally as meaning creation; a particular make: and hence,] constitution; syn. تَرْكِيبٌ: (Mgh:) [and particularly the natural constitution of an animated being, as created in the womb of the mother; also termed فِطْرَةٌ:] see also خُلُقٌ. You say رَجُلٌ حَسَنُ الخِلْقَةِ [A man goodly, or beautiful, in respect of make]. (A, TA.) فِى مَسْلَكٍ هُوَ خِلْقَةٌ means فِى طَرِيقٍ

أَصْلِىٍّ ↓ خِلْقِىٍّ [In a way, or road, that is natural, and original]. (Mgh.) خَلَقَةٌ: see خَلِقٌ.

خِلْقِىٌّ Natural; not accidental: [constitutional: of, or relating to, or belonging to, the natural constitution of an animated being, as created in the womb of the mother:] rel. n. of خِلْقَةٌ. (Msb.) You say عَيْبٌ خِلْقِىٌّ A natural fault or imperfection &c. (Msb.) And صِفَةٌ خِلْقِيَّةٌ [A natural quality]; opposed to اخْتِيَارِيَّةٌ. (Msb in art. مدح.) See also خِلْقَةٌ.

خَلَقِىٌّ One who wears old and worn-out clothes. (TA.) خُلْقَانِىٌّ A seller of old and worn-out clothes. (TA.) خَلَاقٌ A share, or portion: (JK, S, Msb:) and a good, just, or righteous, share or portion: (JK:) or a full, a complete, or an abundant, share or portion of good, (K, TA,) and of goodness, or righteousness: (TA:) and religion: or a share, or portion, thereof. (TA.) One says, لَا خَلَاقَ لَهُ فِى الآخِرَةِ There is no share, or portion, [of good] for him in the final state of existence. (S. [See the Kur iii. 71, &c.]) and لَا خَلَاقَ لَهُ He has no desire for good, nor righteousness in religion. (TA.) خِلَاقٌ: see the next paragraph.

خَلُوقٌ A certain species of perfume; (JK, S, Mgh, Msb, K;) also termed ↓ خِلَاقٌ; (Lh, Msb, K;) accord. to some of the lawyers, (Msb,) fluid, (Mgh, Msb,) but of thick consistence; (L, voce نَضْخٌ;) and in which is a yellowness: (Mgh, Msb:) it is composed of saffron and other things; and redness and yellowness are predominant in it: it is forbidden [to men], because it is of the perfumes of women, who use it more than do men.

[or coll. gen. n.] of the latter, like as شَعِيرٌ is of شَعِيرَةٌ: (TA:) and ↓ مُخْتَلَقٌ signifies anything just in proportion: (IF, TA:) ↓ مُخَلَّقٌ, also, signifies perfect, or complete, in make; applied to a camel (جمل): (TA:) [or جمل, here may be a mistranscription for حَمْل; for] ↓ مُضْغَةٌ مُخَلَّقَةٌ signifies [a fœtus when it has become like a lump of flesh] perfect, or complete, in make; (Fr, S, K;) so in the Kur xxii. 5; (Fr, TA;) or of which the make has become apparent.

You say, فُلَانٌ خَلِيقٌ لِكَذَا, i. e. جَدِيرٌ بِهِ [Such a one is adapted or disposed by nature, &c., for such a thing]; as though he were one of those in whom that was reckoned to be, and in whom the symptoms, signs, or tokens, thereof were seen. (S.) [And هُوَ خَلِيقٌ لِلْخَيْرِ He is adapted or disposed by nature to good; i. e., to be, or to do, or to effect, or to produce, what is good.] and إِنَّهُ لَخَلِيقٌ أَنْ يَفْعَلَ ذٰلِكَ and بِأَنْ يفعل ذلك and لِأَنْ يفعل ذلك and منْ أَنْ يفعل ذلك [Verily he is adapted or disposed &c. for doing that; or worthy to do it]: so says Lh: and he adds that the Arabs say, يَا خَلِيقُ بِذٰلِكَ, using the nom. case; and يَا خَلِيقًا بِذٰلِكَ, using the accus. case; [the latter being the usual form; both meaning O thou who art adapted or disposed &c. for that;] but ISd says, I know not the reason of this. (TA.) And لِذَاكَ ↓ هٰذَا مَخْلَقَةٌ, i. e. مَجْدَرَةٌ لَهُ [This is one that is adapted or disposed &c. for that]: (S, K: *) and لَكَ ↓ هٰذَا الأَمْرُ مَخْلَقَةٌ [This affair, or thing, is one that is adapted &c. for thee]: and مِنْ ذٰلِكَ ↓ إِنَّهُ مَخْلَقَةٌ [Verily it is adapted &c. for that]: like مَجْدَرَةٌ and مَحْرَاةٌ and مَقْمَنَةٌ: and in like manner one says of two, and of more than two, and of a feminine: so says Lh. (TA.) [↓ مَخْلَقَةٌ properly signifies A place, and hence a thing, an affair, and a person, adapted or disposed &c.: it is of the same class as مَعْسَاةٌ and مَظِنَّةٌ and مَئِنَّةٌ.] خَلِيقٌ also signifies Habituated, or accustomed. (PS, TA. *) And one says, إِنَّهُ لَخَلِيقٌ, i. e. لَحَرِىٌّ, meaning Verily it is probable; or likely to happen or be, or to have happened or been. (TA.) And هُوَ خَلِيقٌ لَهُ He, or it, is like to him, or it. (JK, TA.) b3: سَحَابَةٌ خَلِيقَةٌ: see خَلِقٌ. b4: [See also خَلِيقَةٌ, which, in several senses, is a fem. epithet used as a subst.]

خُلُوقَةٌ: see خُلْقَةٌ.

طبق

1 طَبڤقَ [طَبَقَهُ, aor. ـِ accord. to Freytag, is expl. in the K as syn. with أَطْبَقَهُ in the first of the senses assigned to this latter below: but I find no authority for this in the K nor in any other lexicon.]

(TA.) And طبّق المَآءُ وَجْهَ الأَرْضِ The water covered the face of the earth, or land. (K.) b3: And طبّق الشَّىْءُ, inf. n. as above, i. q. عَمَّ [The thing was, or became, common, or general, in its relation or relations, operation or operations, effect or effects, &c.]. (K.)

(El-Harbee, TA.) One says of a person bowing himself in prayer, طبّق, and likewise ↓ اطبق, (TA,) or طبّق كَفَّيْهِ, (Mgh,) or طبّق بَيْنَ كَفَّيْهِ ثُمَّ وَضَعَهُمَا بَيْنَ فَخِذَيْهِ, (O,) He put his hands [together, palm to palm, ana then put them] between his thighs.

Hence also, طَبَّقَ alone, (assumed tropical:) He hit upon the right mode of judicial decision: (O, TA:) and the text of the tradition. (TA.) 3 مُطَابَقَةٌ signifies The putting a thing upon, or above, or over, another thing commensurate therewith: whence the phrase, طَابَقْتُ النَّعْلَ [i. e., as expl. in Bd lxvii. 3, I sewed another sole upon the sole or sandal].

[See also 2.]) And طابق بَيْنَ قَمِيصَيْنِ He put on, or attired himself with, two shirts, one over, or outside, the other; (K, TA;) and in like manner صَافَقَ بَيْنَهُمَا, and طَارَقَ, (TA,) and ظَاهَرَ.

(S, O, K.) b9: And (hence, TA) (tropical:) The walking as one shackled; (S, O, K, TA;) i. e., with short steps. (TA.)

[This last ex. shows that اطبقهُ signifies sometimes It covered it as meaning it became a cover, or like a cover, to it; and اطبق عَلَيْهِ likewise has this meaning; as also عليه ↓ انطبق, and عليه ↓ تطبّق.] b3: [Hence,] one says, اطبق عَلَيْهِ الجُنُونُ (Msb, TA) (assumed tropical:) Insanity covered [i. e. veiled, or wholly obscured,] his reason, or intellect. (TA.) And اطبقت عَلَيْهِ الحُمَّى (Mgh, O, TA) (tropical:) The fever was, or became, continual upon him, not quitting him night nor day. (TA.) b4: اطبقوا عَلَى الأَمْرِ means (tropical:) They combined consentaneously, or agreed together, respecting, or to do, the thing, or affair; (S, * Mgh, * O, * Msb, TA; *) and so عَلَيْهِ ↓ تطابقوا.

(O, TA.)

(S, O.) b19: [The pl.] الأَطْبَاقُ also signifies Those who are remote, and those who are remotely connected: so in a trad. respecting the signs of the resurrection, or of the time thereof; in which it is said, يُوْصَلُ الأَطْبَاقُ وَيُقْطَعُ الأَرْحَامُ [Those who are remote, and those who are remotely related, shall be brought into close connection, and the ties of relationship shall be severed]. (TA.) b20: بِنْتُ طَبَقٍ is an appellation of A female tortoise, [app. because of the cover of her back,] which, (S, O, K,) as the Arabs assert, (S, O,) lays ninety-nine eggs, all of them [eventually] tortoises, and lays one egg which discloses (S, O, K) a serpent (K) [or a serpent such as is termed] an أَسْوَد; (S, O;) or, accord. to Az, sixty-nine [eggs], and the seventieth is [eventually] a viper. (So in a marg. note in one of my copies of the S; in which, also, the appellation is written بِنْتُ طَبَقَ, instead of بِنْتُ طَبَقٍ.) Hence the phrase إِحْدَى بَنَاتِ طَبَقٍ, meaning (tropical:) A calamity; (S, O, TA;) as also بِنْتُ طَبَقٍ: (TA:) بَنَاتُ طَبَقٍ meaning calamities [like مُطْبِقَاتٌ]: as well as tortoises: and serpents: (K:) and أُمُّ طَبَقٍ [in like manner] meanscalamity: (TA in art. طرق:) or, accord. to EthTha'álibee, طَبَقُ [thus, imperfectly decl., as written in the L,) signifies a yellow serpent: (L, TA:) and أُمُّ طَبَقٍ and بِنْتُ طَبَقٍ are said to signify the serpent, because of its coiling itself round: or بَنَاتُ طَبَقٍ is an appellation applied to serpents because of their winding themselves round (لإِطْبَاقِهَا) upon him whom they bite; or, as some say, because the حَوَّآء [q. v.] confines them beneath the lids (أَطْبَاق) of the baskets (أَسْفَاط) covered with leather; or, as Z says, because they resemble the طَبَق [i. e. cover, or dish, or plate,] when they coil themselves round.

(Msb.) b2: [One says also, سمّى اللّٰهَ عَلَى شَىْءٍ, or simply سمّى عَلَيْهِ, which is the more common, meaning He pronounced the name of God, saying بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ (In the name of God), upon, or over, a thing; such as food, and an animal about to be slaughtered.] The Prophet said, سَمُّوا وَسَمِّتُوا وَدَنُّوا, [cited, with some variations, and expl., in arts.

A poet cited by Th says, بَاتَ ابْنُ أَدْمَآءَ يُسَامِى الأَنْدَرَا سَامَى طَعَامَ الحَىِّ حَتَّى نَوَّرَا and he says that سَامَى means اِرْتَفَعَ, and صَعِدَ; but [it seems that the verse should be rendered, Ibn-Admà passed the night aspiring to reach the heap of reaped wheat: he aspired to attain the wheat of the tribe until it attained to maturity: for ISd says,] in my opinion he means, as the seed-produce rose by growth, he rose to it, until it attained to maturity, when he reaped it and stole it: and he cites also the saying, فَارْفَعْ يَدَيْكَ ثُمَّ سَامِ الحَنْجَرَا [And raise thy hands, then endeavour to reach the windpipe]; explaining سَامِ الحَنْجَرَ as meaning raise thy hands to his حَلْق [or throat, properly, fauces].

(TA.) A4: See also 2.5 تسمّى [expl. by Golius, first, as meaning Altus fuit, eminuit; like سَمَا; but for this he names no authority, and I find none for it.

A2: ] He named himself. (KL.) b2: تسمّى بِزَيْدٍ He was named Zeyd: (S, * M, * Msb, K: *) تسمّى

بِكَذَا means Such a thing became his name: it is quasi-pass. of سَمَّاهُ and أَسْمَاهُ.

(TA.) 8 استمى He (a hunter, or sportsman, [الصّاعِدُ in the CK being a mistranscription for الصَّائِدُ,]) attired himself with the socks, or stockings, called مِسْمَاة, (M, K, TA,) to protect himself from the heat of the burning ground, (TA,) for the hunting of gazelles, in the time of heat. (M.) and (M, in the K “ or ”) استماهُ He asked of him the loan of the socks, or stockings, above named, for that purpose, (M, K, *) i. e. for the hunting of gazelles at midday. (TA.) And استمى, (M, CK,) or استمى الظِّبَآءَ, (so in some copies of the K and in the TA,) He sought, or pursued, the gazelles in their caves, or hiding-places, (فَى غِيرَانِهَا, M, and so in copies of the K, by the غِيرَان being meant the كُنُس, M,) or in what was not their time, or season, (فِى غَيْرِ انِهَا, thus in some copies of the K,) at the auroral rising of Canopus (سُهَيْل [which rose aurorally, in Central Arabia, about the commencement of the era of the Flight, on the 4th of August, O. S.]): (M, K:) so says IAar. (M.) [Freytag says, on the authority of scholia to the Deewán of Jereer, as follows: In the time of the greatest heat, they drive out a wild animal repeatedly from its hiding-place, permitting it to return thither at night, when, thus disturbed, it does not issue from its place; in order that they may be able to strike it.] b2: And He hunted, or chased, wild animals. (M.) b3: See also 1, latter part, in two places. b4: and see 4.

A2: اِسْتَمَيْتُهُ also signifies I made him the object of a visit: or I perceived in him good, or goodness, by a right opinion formed from its outward signs. (K.) b2: And استماهُ He chose it, took it in preference, or selected it. (IAar, L voce اِقْتَرَحَ.) b3: And IAar mentions the saying, البَكْرَةُ مِنَ الإِبِلِ تُسْتَمَى بَعْدَ أَرْبَعَ عَشْرَةَ لَيْلَةً أَوْبَعْدَ إِحْدَى وَعِشْرِينَ, as meaning [The youthful she-camel] is tested for the purpose of discovering whether or not she be pregnant [after fourteen nights or after one and twenty]: but Th disallows this, and says that the word is تُسْتَمْنَى, from المُنْيَةُ, which means “ the period by the end of which one knows whether or not the she-camel is pregnant. ” (M.) 10 استسمى [or استسمى فُلَانًا, the word فلانا having app. been inadvertently omitted by a copyist,] He asked, or demanded, his [or such a one's] name.

سَمَآءٌ The higher, or upper, or highest, or uppermost, part of anything: [in this sense] masc. (M.) b2: [In its predominant acceptation,] a word of well-known meaning; (K, TA;) i. e. (TA) [The sky, or heaven;] the canopy of the earth: (M, Msb, TA:) in this sense (M, Msb) masc. and fem.; (IAmb, S, M, Msb, K; *) sometimes fem.; (M;) rarely so, and thus as having the next but one of the significations here following: (Fr, Msb:) Az says that it is fem. because it is pl. [or coll. gen. n.] of سَمَآءَةٌ: (TA:) or it is as though it were pl. of ↓ سَمَاوَةٌ, [or rather its coll. gen. n.,] like as سَحَابٌ is of سَحَابَةٌ: (Msb, TA:) Er-Rághib says that the سَمَآء as opposed to the أَرْض is fem., and sometimes masc.; and is used as a sing. and as a pl.; as the latter in the Kur ii. 27 [where it is shown to apply to seven heavens]; and that it is like نَخْلٌ and شَجَرٌ and other [coll.] gen. ns.: (TA:) in this sense (M) the pl. is أَسْمِيَةٌ [a pl. of pauc.] (S, M, K) and سُمِىٌّ, (M, K,) the latter [originally سُمُوىٌ] of the measure فُعُولٌ, and both [also] pls. of سَمَآءٌ in another sense, mentioned in what follows, (TA,) and سَمَاوَاتٌ or سَمٰوَاتٌ, (S, M, Msb, K,) and accord. to the K, [in which all of these are mentioned as though pls. of سَمَآءٌ in all its senses,] ↓ سَمًا, [in the CK سُمًا,] but in the M سَمَآءٌ [like the sing., as mentioned above], where it is said that it must be a pl. in the Kur ii. 27 for the reason already stated, as though pl. of سَمَآءَةٌ or سَمَاوَةٌ; (TA;) and a poet assigns to سَمَآءٌ the anomalous pl. سَمَآءٍ, by his saying, سَمَآءُ الْإِلٰهِ فَوْقَ سَبْعِ سَمَآئِيَا [The heaven of God, above seven heavens]: (S, M:) the dim. is ↓ سُمّيَّةٌ. (Ham p. 452.) b3: and Any canopy, or covering over-head, of a person. (S, Msb, * TA.) b4: And hence, (S, TA,) The ceiling, or roof, (S, Msb, K, TA,) of a house, or chamber, or tent, (S, K, TA,) and of anything; (K, TA;) in this sense masc.; (Msb, TA;) and ↓ سَمَاوَةٌ also has this meaning. (S.) b5: And The رِوَاق, (M, K,) i. e. the شُقَّة [or oblong piece of cloth] that is beneath the upper, or uppermost, شُقَّةٌ, (M,) of a بَيْت [or tent]; (M, K;) in which sense it is fem., and sometimes masc.; (M;) as also ↓ سَمَاوَةٌ; (M, K;) [and so, app., ↓ سِمَايَةٌ; for] one says, أَصْلَحَ سِمَايَتَهُ, with kesr, [He repaired his سماية,] meaning, his سَمَاوَة. (TA.) b6: And The clouds; (Zj, K;) because of their height: (Zj, TA:) or a cloud. (Msb.) b7: and Rain; (S, M, Msb, K;) because it comes forth from the سَمَآء [i. e. sky or clouds]: (TA:) or a good rain (مَطْرَةٌ جَيِّدَةٌ): (K, TA:) or a new rain (مَطْرَةٌ جَدِيدَةٌ): (T, TA:) or, as some say, rain that has not fallen upon the earth; so called in consideration of what has been said above [of its meaning the “ clouds ” &c.]: (Er-Rághib, TA:) [but] one says, مَا زِلْنَا نَطَأُ السَّمَآءَ حَتَّى

أَتَيْنَاكُمْ [We ceased not to tread upon the rain until we came to you]: (S, TA:) applied to rain, it is masc., and fem. also because of its connexion with the سَمَآء that canopies the earth; (M;) or it is fem., as meaning سَحَابَةٌ: (Msb:) the pl. [of mult.] is سُمِىٌّ (S, M, Msb, TA) and [of pauc.]

أَسْمِيَةٌ. (S, TA.) بَنُو مَآءِ السَّمَآءِ is an appellation of The Arabs; [signifying the sons of the water of the heaven;] because of their keeping much to the deserts which are the places of the falling of rain [by means of which they subsist]: or by مَآء السمآء is meant Zemzem, which God made to well forth for the Arabs, who are therefore like the sons thereof. (TA.) b8: [Hence, app., as being likened to rain by reason of the swiftness of his running,] a certain horse, (M, K,) belonging to Sakhr the brother of El-Khansà, (M,) was named السَّمَآءُ. (M, K.) b9: [Hence, likewise, as being likened to rain, (assumed tropical:) Bounty.] One says, أَصَابَنِى بِرَشْحَةٍ مِنْ سَمَائِهِ (assumed tropical:) [He gave me a gift from his store of bounty]. (A in art. رشح.) b10: Also (assumed tropical:) Herbage; because produced by the rain, which is thus called. (TA.) b11: And The back of a horse; (S, Msb, K;) because of its height: coupled with [its opposite] أَرْضٌ [q. v.].

El-'Ajjáj says, سَمَآوَةُ الهِلَالِ حَتَّى احْقَوْقَفَا [The form, &c., of the moon when near the change, until it became curved]. (S.) سِمَايَةٌ: see سَمَآءٌ, in the middle of the paragraph.

سَمَآئِىٌّ and سَمَاوِىٌّ [Of, or relating to, the sky or heaven; heavenly; celestial;] rel. ns. from سَمَآءٌ. (Msb, TA.) سَامٍ [High, or lofty; as also ↓ سَمِىٌّ: pl. of the former سَوَامٍ; applied to women as pl. of سَامِيَةٌ, whence the phrase سَوَامِى الطَّرْفِ in a verse cited voce بُضْعٌ; and to irrational animals, as in an instance here following]. One says القُرُومُ السَّوَامِى

The stallions [meaning the stallion-camels high in their heads, or] raising their heads high. (S, TA.) And سَامِيَاتٌ, [pl. of سَامِيَةٌ,] applied to camels, That raise, or raise high, their eyes and their heads. (Ham p. 791.) And رَدَدْتُ مِنْ سَامِى

(S, TA.) And الأَنْفِ ↓ سَمِىُّ [lit. Highnosed] means (assumed tropical:) disdainful, or scornful. (T and K in art. انف.) b2: [Also act. part. n. of 1 in all its senses. b3: And hence,] سُمَاةٌ, (S, M, K,) of which it is the sing., (M,) signifies Hunters (S, M, K) going forth to the chase: (K:) an epithet in which the quality of a subst. predominates: or, as some say, hunters in the day-time, peculiarly: or hunters wearing the socks, or stockings, called مِسْمَاة. (M.) اِسْمٌ, (S, M, Msb, K,) with the conjunctive ا, [i. e. written اسْمٌ,] but this is made disjunctive by poetic license [as well as when the word commences a sentence], (S,) usually with kesr [when the | is disjunctive], (Lh, M, TA,) and اُسْمٌ, (S, M, K,) of the dial. of Benoo-'Amr-Ibn-Temeem and of Kudá'ah, (M, TA,) mentioned by IAar, (TA,) and ↓ سِمٌ and ↓ سُمٌ (S, M, K) and ↓ سَمٌ, (K,) and ↓ سُمًا (M, K) and ↓ سِمًا and ↓ سَمًا, (K,) [The name of a thing; i. e.] a sign [such as may be uttered or written] conveying knowledge of a thing; syn. عَلَامَةٌ: and a word applied to denote a substance or an accident or attribute, for the purpose of distinction: (M, K:) [or a substantive in the proper sense of this term, i. e. a real substantive; and a substance in a tropical sense of this term, i. e. an ideal substantive:] as expl. by El-Munáwee, in the “ Towkeef,” the اسم is that which denotes a meaning in itself unconnected with any of the three times [past and present and future]: if denoting what subsists by itself, it is termed اِسْمُ عَيْنٍ; and if denoting what does not subsist by itself, [i. e. an accident or attribute,] whether existent, as العِلْمُ [i. e. knowledge], or non-existent, as الجَهْلُ [i. e. ignorance], it is termed اِسْمُ مَعْنًى: (TA:) the pl. is أَسْمَآءٌ [a pl. of pauc.] and أَسْمَاوَاتٌ, (S, M, K,) the latter said by Lh to be a pl. of اِسْمٌ, but it is rather a pl. of أَسْمَآءٌ, for otherwise there is no way of accounting for it, (M,) and أَسَامٍ (S, M, K) and أَسَامِىُّ (M, K) are [likewise] pls. of أَسْمَآءٌ: (K, * TA:) the word اسْمٌ [i. e. اِسْمٌ or اُسْمٌ] is derived from سَمَوْتُ, (S, TA,) or from السُّمُوُّ, (Msb, Er-Rághib, TA,) because the اسم is a means of raising into notice the thing denoted thereby, and making it known: (S, * Er-Rághib, TA:) it is of the measure اِفْعٌ [or اُفْعٌ, accord. to different dialects], the last radical, و, being wanting in it, (S, Msb, TA,) and the hemzeh [or rather |] being prefixed by way of compensation for it, accord to a general rule; (Msb, TA;) for it is originally سِمْوٌ (S, Msb, Er-Rághib, TA) or سُمْوٌ, (S, Msb, TA,) its pl. being أَسْمَآءٌ, and its dim. being ↓ سُمَىٌّ [originally سَمَيْوٌ]: (S, Msb, Er-Rághib, * TA:) some of the Koofees hold that it is from الوَسْمُ, meaning العَلَامَةُ, the و, which is the primal radical, being rejected, and the hemzeh [or |] being substituted for it, so that its measure is اِعْلٌ [or اُعْلٌ]; but this is a weak opinion, for, were it so, the dim. would be وَسَيْمٌ and the pl. would be أَوْسَامٌ. (Msb, TA.) One says, اِسْمُ هٰذَا كَذَا [The name of this is thus, or such a word]; and if you will you may say, اُسْمُ هٰذا كذا; and in like manner, ↓ سِمُهُ and ↓ سُمُهُ: Lh says that اِسْمُهُ فُلَانٌ [His name is Such a one] is the [common] phrase of the Arabs; and he mentions اُسْمُهُ فُلَانٌ as heard from [the tribe of] Benoo-'Amr-Ibn-Temeem: and Ks cites, as heard from some of [the tribe of] Benoo-Kudá'ah, the saying, ↓ بِاسْمِ الَّذِى فِى كُلِّ سُورَةٍ سُمُهْ [In the name of Him whose name is in every chapter of the Kur-án], and ↓ سِمُهْ as heard from others, not of Kudá'ah. (M.) سِرْ عَلَى اسْمِ اللّٰهِ is an elliptical phrase [for سِرْ مُعْتَمِدًا عَلَى ذِكْرِ اسْمِ اللّٰهِ Journey thou relying upon the mention of the name of God]. (IJ, M in art. دل: see دَلِيلٌ.) b2: [Hence,] اسْمٌ signifies also (assumed tropical:) Fame, renown, report, or reputation, of a person: (TA:) and so ↓ سُمًا, in relation to good, (K, TA,) not to evil; mentioned by Az. (TA.) One says, ذَهَبَ اسْمُهُ فِى النَّاسِ, i. e. His fame &c. [went, or spread, among mankind, or the people]. (TA.) اِسْمِىٌّ [Of, or relating to, a name or noun or substantive;] rel. n. from اِسْمٌ; as also ↓ سِمَوِىٌّ and ↓ سُمَوِىٌّ. (S, TA.) [Hence, جُمْلَةٌ اسْمِيَّةٌ A nominal proposition or phrase; as distinguished from فِعْليَّةٌ, or verbal.]

اِسْمِيَّةٌ The quality of a name or noun or substantive.]

مِسْمَاةٌ The socks, or stockings, worn by a hunter, (M, K, TA,) to protect him from the heat of the burning ground. (TA.) مُسَمًّى [Named]. b2: [Hence,] one says, هُوَ مِنْ مُسَمَّى قَوْمِهِ and مُسَمَّاتِهِمْ, meaning (assumed tropical:) He is of the best of his people or party. (TA.) مُسَامٍ: see سَمِىٌّ.

1 عَرَشَ, aor. ـِ and عَرُشَ, (S, O, K,) inf. n. عَرْشٌ, (S, O,) He constructed, or built, what is called an عَرِيش; (K;) as also ↓ اعرش; (Zj, K;) and ↓ عرّش, (K,) inf. n. تَعْرِيشٌ: (TA:) or he built a building of wood. (S, O.) b2: عَرَشَ البَيْتَ, (K,) aor. ـِ and عَرُشَ, inf. n. عَرْشٌ and عُرُوشٌ, (TA,) He built the house, or the like. (K.) b3: عَرَشَ الكَرْمَ: see 2. b4: عَرَشَ البِئْرَ, (A, K,) aor. ـِ and عَرُشَ, (K,) inf. n. عَرْشٌ, (S, A, O,) He cased the well with stones to the height of the stature of a man in the lowest part, and the rest of it with wood: (K:) or he cased the well with wood, after having cased the lowest part thereof with stones to the height of the stature of a man. (S, O.) A2: عَرَشَ فُلَانًا, (K, TA,) aor. ـِ inf. n. عَرْشٌ, (TA,) He struck such a one in the عُرْش, (K, TA,) i. e. base, (TA,) of his neck. (K, TA.) 2 عرّش, inf. n. تَعْرِيشٌ: see 1. b2: Also (assumed tropical:) He (a bird) rose, and shaded with his wings him who was beneath him. (TA.) b3: عرّش العَرْشَ He made the عَرْش [q. v.: or perhaps we should read العَرِيشَ]. (TA.) b4: عرّش البَيْتَ, (O, K,) inf. n. as above, (TA,) He roofed the house, or the like; (O, K, TA;) and raised the building thereof. (TA.) b5: عرّش الكَرْمَ, (S, O, Msb, K,) inf. n. as above, (S, O, TA,) He made an عَرِيش for the grape-vine: (Msb:) or he raised the shoots of the grape-vine upon the pieces of wood [made to support them]; as also ↓ عَرَشَهُ, (Zj, O, K,) aor. ـِ and عَرُشَ, inf. n. عَرْشٌ and عُرُوشٌ; (K;) or both signify he made an عَرْش for the grape-vine, and raised its shoots upon the pieces of wood; (TA;) and ↓ اعرشهُ signifies the same as عرّشهُ: (Zj, O, TA:) or عرّشهُ signifies he bent the pieces of wood upon which its branches, or shoots, were trained. (TA.) 4 اعرش: see 1. b2: اعرش الكَرْمَ: see 2.5 تَعَرَّشْنَا We pitched our tent, or tents. (A, TA.) b2: تعرّش بِالبَلَدِ He became fixed, settled, or established, in the country, or town. (Az, O, K.) 8 اعترش He made, or took, for himself an عَرِيش. (O, K.) b2: اعترش العِنَبُ The grapes mounted (S, O, K) upon the عَرِيش, (O, K,) or, as in the Mufradát, upon their عريش, (TA,) or upon the عِرَاش [which may be a pl. of عَرِيشٌ, like عَرَائِشُ, or perhaps it is a mistranscription for this last word]: (S: so in two copies:) and in like manner, اعترش العِنَبُ العَرِيشَ: (L, TA: [expl. by عَلَاهُ عَلَى العِرَاشِ, which seems to be a mistake for عَلَا عَلَى العِرِيشِ:]) and اعترشت القُضْبَانُ عَلَى العَرِيشِ The branches, or shoots, mounted upon the عريش. (A, TA.) عَرْشٌ A booth, or shed, or thing constructed for shade, (مِظَلَّةٌ,) mostly made of canes, or reeds; (K;) and sometimes, (TA,) made of palm-sticks, over which is thrown ثُمَام [a species of panic grass]; (Mgh, TA:) as described by Az, on the authority of the Arabs; (TA;) and such is meant by the عَرْش of Moses: (Mgh:) a thing resembling a house, or tent, made of palm-sticks, over which is put ثُمَام; as also ↓ عَرِيشٌ: (Msb:) a booth, or shed, syn. خَيْمَةٌ, (K, TA,) made of wood and ثمان; (TA;) as also ↓ عَرِيشٌ; (S, A, * O, K;) and such is meant by the ↓ عَرِيش of Moses; (A;) and sometimes the ↓ عَرِيش was made of palm-sticks, with ثُمَام thrown over them: (TA:) both signify a thing, (S, O,) or a house, or the like, (K,) used for shade: (S, O, K:) pl. of the former, عُرُوشٌ (ISd, Mgh, Msb, K) and عُرُشٌ and أَعْرَاشٌ [which is a pl. of pauc.] and عِرَشَةٌ: (K:) or عُرُشٌ is pl. of ↓ عَرِيشٌ, (S, ISd, O, Msb,) not of عَرْشٌ: (ISd:) or it is also pl. of ↓ عَرِيشٌ: (K:) and عُرُوشٌ is also a pl. of ↓ عُرْشٌ, which is a pl. of ↓ عَرِيشٌ. (L.) Hence The houses of Mekkeh, (S, A, Mgh, O, Msb,) in which the needy of its inhabitants dwelt, (Mgh,) or its ancient houses, (K,) were called العُرُوشُ, (S, A, Mgh, O, Msb, K,) and العُرُشُ, (S, Msb,) and ↓ العُرْشُ; (O, K;) because they were of poles, or sticks, set up, and shaded over: (S, O, Msb:) or Mekkeh itself was called ↓ العُرْشُ: (Az, O, L, K:) or it was called العَرْشُ, with fet-h, and ↓ العَرِيشُ: (Az, L, K:) and its houses were called ↓ العُرْشُ, and العُرُوشُ. (K.) And hence, (S, O, Msb,) the saying in a trad., (S, O,) i. e., the saying of Saad, (K, TA,) when he heard that Mo'áwiyeh forbade the performing conjointly the greater and minor pilgrimages, (TA,) تَمَتَّعْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللّٰهِ صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَفُلَانٌ كَافِرٌ بِالْعُرُشِ, (S, O, K, *) or بِالْعُرُوشِ, (S, TA,) i. e., [We performed conjointly the greater and minor pilgrimages with the Apostle of God, (God bless and save him,)] when such a one, meaning Mo'áwiyeh, was abiding (O, L, K) in his state of unbelief, (L,) in Mekkeh; (L, K;) i. e. in the houses thereof: (O, L:) or, as some say, was hiding himself in the houses of Mekkeh. (L.) b2: A house [in an absolute sense]; a dwelling, or place of abode: (Kr, TA:) pl. عُرُشٌ (TA) [and عُرُوشٌ]. b3: A [building of the kind called] قَصْر. (K.) b4: The wood upon which stands the drawer of water: (K:) or a structure of wood built at the head of the well, forming a shade: [pl. عُرُوشٌ:] when the props are pulled away, the عُرُوش fall down. (TA.) [عَرْشٌ in relation to a well has also another meaning; which see below.] b5: The wooden thing [or trellis] which serves for the propping of a grape-vine. (TA.) [But this is more commonly called عَرِيشٌ, q. v.] b6: The roof of a house or the like: (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K:) pl. عُرُوشٌ. (A.) So in a trad., where a lamp is mentioned as suspended to the عرش: (O, TA:) and in another, in which a man relates that he used, when upon his عرش, to hear the Prophet's reciting [of the Kur-án]. (TA.) And so it has been expl. as occurring in the phrase of the Kur [ii. 261 and xxii. 44], خَاوِيَةٌ عَلَى عُرُوشِهَا Having fallen down upon its roofs: meaning that its walls were standing when their roofs had become demolished and had fallen to the foundations, and the walls fell down upon the roofs demolished before them: (O, TA:) but some consider على as here meaning عَنْ [from]. (TA.) b7: [Hence, app.,] العَرْشُ is applied to The عَرْش of God, which is not definable: (A, K:) I'Ab is related to have said that the كُرْسِىّ is the place of the feet and the عَرْش is immeasurable: and it is said in the Mufradát of Er-Rághib that the عَرْش of God is one of the things which mankind know not in reality, but only by name; and it is not as the imaginations of the vulgar hold it to be; [namely, the throne of God;] for were it so, it would be a support to Him; not supported; whereas God saith [in the Kur., xxxv. 39], “Verily God holdeth the heavens and the earth, lest they should move from their place; and if they should move from their place, no one would hold them after Him: ” or, as some say, it is the highest sphere; [or the empyrean;] and the كرسىّ is the sphere of the stars: and they adduce as an indication thereof the saying of Mohammad, that the seven heavens and earths, by the side of the كرسىّ, are nought but as a ring thrown down in a desert land; and such is the كرسىّ with respect to the عَرْش: and this assertion is mentioned in the B, but without approval: (TA:) [it appears, however, to be most commonly accepted:] or a red sapphire, which glistens with the light of the Supreme. (A, K.) [Hence the saying,] مِنَ العَرْشِ إِلَى الفَرْشِ meaning, [From the highest sphere, or the empyrean, to] the earth. (A.) b8: Also The سَرِير [or throne] (S, A, O, Msb, K) of a king; (S, A, O, K;) the seat of a sultán; [perhaps as being likened to the عرش of God; or, more probably, from its being generally surmounted by a canopy; or] because of its height. (Er-Rághib.) [Hence,] the phrase اِسْتَوَى عَلَى

عَرْشِهِ means He reigned as king. (A, TA.) b9: And [hence, also,] Certain stars in advance of السِّمَاك الأَعْزَل [which is Spica Virginis]; (TA;) [app. those meant by what here follows;] عَرْشُ السِّمَاكِ signifies four small stars [app. γ, δ, ε, and η, of Virgo, regarded as the seat of Bootes, the principal star of which is called السِّمَاكُ الرَّامِحُ, being described as] beneath العَوَّآء [which is a name of Bootes and also of the four stars mentioned above], and also called عَجُزُ الأَسَدِ [the rump of Leo, the figure of which was extended by the Arabs far beyond the limits which we assign to it]. (S, O, K.) b10: And عَرْشُ الجَوْزَآءِ [The seat of Orion; applied by our astronomers to

α of Lepus; but described as] four stars, of which two are on the fore legs and two on the hind legs, of Lepus. (Kzw.) b11: And عَمْشُ الثَّرَيَّا Certain stars near الثُّرَيَّا [or the Pleiades]. (T, TA.) b12: عَرْشٌ also signifies The جَمَازَة; (O, K, TA;) i. e., the bier of a corpse. (O, TA.) and hence, as some say, the expression in a trad., اِهْتَزَّ العَرْشُ لِمَوْتِ سَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ, meaning The bier rejoiced [lit. shook] at the death of Saad Ibn-Mo'ádh; i. e., at carrying him upon it to his place of burial: (O, K, * TA:) but there are other explanations, for which see art. هز. (TA.) b13: The wood with which a well is cased after it has been cased with stones (S, O, K) in its lowest part (S, O) to the height of the stature of a man: (S, O, K:) pl. عُرُوشٌ. (S, O.) [Another meaning of the same word in relation to a well has been mentioned before.] b14: (assumed tropical:) The nest of a bird, such as is built in a tree, (K,) [app. as being likened to a booth.]

b15: The angle, or corner, or strongest side, syn. رُكْن, (Ks, Zj, K,) of a house, (Ks, Zj,) or [other] thing: (K:) pl. عُرُوشٌ. (Ks, Zj.) Accord. to some, the phrase in the Kur [ii. 261, mentioned above], خَاوِيَةٌ عَلَى عُرُوشِهَا, means Empty, and fallen to ruin upon its أَرْكَان [or angles, &c.]. (Ks, Zj, O.) b16: [Hence,] (tropical:) The head, or chief, who is the manager or regulator of the affairs, of a people, or company of men: (K:) likened to the عَرْش of a house. (TA.) b17: [Hence also,] (assumed tropical:) The means of support of a thing, or an affair. (A, O, K.) Hence the saying, ثُلَّ عَرْشُهُ, (O, K,) meaning (tropical:) His means of support became taken away: (TA:) or he perished: (A:) or he was slain; as also ↓ ثُلَّ عُرْشُهُ: (IDrd, in M, art. ثل:) or his might, or power, departed: (TA:) or his affairs, or state, became weak, and his might, or power, departed. (S, O. [See also art. ثل.] [For عَرْشٌ also signifies] b18: (tropical:) Might, or power: (Er-Rághib, K:) regal power; sovereignty; dominion: (IAar, Er-Rághib, K:) from the same word as signifying the throne, or seat, of a king. (Er-Rághib.) b19: And The protuberant part (S, O, K) in, (S, O,) or of, (K,) the upper surface of the foot, (S, O, K,) in which are the toes; (S, O, TA;) as also ↓ عُرْشٌ: pl. [of pauc.] أَعْرَاشٌ and [of mult.] عِرَشَةٌ: (O, TA:) and the part between the عَيْر [or prominent bone] and the toes, of the upper surface of the foot; as also ↓ عُرْشٌ: (Ibn-'Abbád, O, K:) pls. the same as last mentioned above: (K:) or ↓ عُرْشٌ signifies the upper surface of the foot; and its lower surface is called the أَخْمَص. (IAar.) عُرْشٌ, both as a sing. and as a pl.: see عَرْشٌ, last sentence, in three places: b2: and the same paragraph, first and second sentences, in four places: and see ثُلَّ عُرْشُهُ in the latter part of the same paragraph. b3: العُرْشَانِ signifies Two oblong portions of flesh in the two sides of the neck, [app. the two sterno-mastoid muscles,] (S, A, O, K, TA,) between which are the vertebræ [of the neck]: (TA:) or in the base of the neck: (K:) or the base [itself] of the neck: so in the phrase ثَلَّ عُرْشَيْهِ: (IDrd and M in art ثل, q. v.:) or the أَخْدَعَانِ [or two branches of the occipital artery], (TA, as from the K, [in which I do not find it,]) which are (TA) [in] the two places of the cuppingvessels: (K, TA:) or the أَخْدَعَانِ are in the عُرْشَانِ: (Ibn-'Abbád, O:) or the عُرْش is a vein in the base of the neck: (Th, O:) or the عُرْشَانِ are [app. the two greater cornua of the os hyoides, which forms a support to the tongue; two bones in the لَهَاة [meaning furthest part of the mouth], which erect the tongue. (Ibn-'Abbád, O, K.) It is related in a trad., respecting the slaying of Aboo-Jahl, that he said to Ibn-Mes'ood, خُذْ سَيْفِى فَاجْتَزَّ بِهِ رَأْسِي مِنْ عُرْشَيَّ [Take thou my sword, and cut with it my head from my عُرْشَانِ]. (O, TA.) b4: And (assumed tropical:) The ear: (K:) or (assumed tropical:) the two ears: because near to the عُرْشَانِ [properly so called]: hence the saying, نَفَثَ فِى عُرْشَيْهِ (assumed tropical:) He spoke secretly to him, or with him. (As, A, O.) b5: And The extremity of the hair of the mane of a horse: (IDrd, O, K:) or so العُرْشُ.

(ISh, A.) b4: And An enclosure of the kind called حَظِيرَة, made for beasts, to protect them from the cold. (TA.) عَرِيشَةٌ: see the next preceding paragraph.

عُرُوشَاتٌ Grape-vines. (TA.) كُرُومٌ مَعْرُشَاتٌ [Grape-vines furnished with, or trained upon, عَرَائِش, or trellises, pl. of عَرِيشٌ]. (S.) b2: بِئْرٌ مَعْرُوشَةٌ [A well cased with what is termed an عَرْش]. (S.) b3: Hence, (O,) مَعْرُوشُ الجَنْبَيْنِ A camel large in the sides. (O, K.)

عدل

1 عَدَلَ, (S, O, Msb, K,) aor. ـِ (Msb, K,) inf. n. عَدْلٌ (S, * O, * Msb, K, * TA) and مَعْدِلَةٌ (S, * O, * Msb, K *) and مَعْدَلَةٌ (S, * Msb, K *) and عَدَالَةٌ and عُدُولَةٌ, (K, * TK,) He acted equitably, justly, or rightly. (S, O, Msb, K.) So in the phrase عَدَلَ فِى أَمْرِهِ, [He acted equitably, &c., in his affair,] inf. n. عَدْلٌ. (Msb.) And so in the phrase عَدَلَ عَلَيْهِ فِى القَضِيَّةِ [He acted equitably, &c., towards him in the judgment]: (S, O:) and عَدَلَ عَلَى القَوْمِ, [he acted equitably, &c., towards the people, or party,] inf. n. عَدْلٌ and مَعْدِلَةٌ and مَعْدَلَةٌ. (Msb.) لَنْ تَسْتَطِيعُوا أَنْ تَعْدِلُوا بَيْنَ النِّسَآءِ, [Ye will not be able to act with perfect equity between women], in the Kur [iv. 128], is said to mean, in respect of love, and of جِمَاع. (TA.) [See also عَدْلٌ below.] b2: وَإِنْ تَعْدِلْ كُلَّ عَدْلٍ, in the Kur [vi. 69], means and if it would ransom with every [degree of] ransoming: (T, S, O, Msb, TA:) AO used to say, and if it would act equitably with every [degree of] equitable acting; but Az says that this is a blunder. (TA.) [See, again, عَدْلٌ below.] b3: [عَدَلَ signifies also He declined, deviated, or turned aside or away; and particularly from the right course: thus having a meaning nearly agreeing with that assigned to عَدِلَ in the last sentence of this paragraph.] بَلْ هُمْ قَوْمٌ يَعْدِلُونَ, in the Kur [xxvii. 61], means [Nay but they are a people] who decline, or deviate, from the truth, and from the right course; i. e., who disbelieve. (O.) And one says, عَدَلَ عَنْهُ, aor. ـِ inf. n. عَدْلٌ and [more com-monly] عُدُولٌ, He declined, deviated, or turned aside or away, from him, or it. (K.) And عَدَلَ عَنِ الطَّرِيقِ, (S, O, Msb,) inf. n. عُدُولٌ, (Msb,) He declined, &c., from the road, or way; (S, O, Msb;) as also عَنْهُ ↓ انعدل.

And عَدَلَ الفَحْلُ (S, O, K) عَنِ الإِبِلِ (S, O) The stallion left, left off, or desisted from, covering the she-camels; (S, O, K; *) and so عَنِ الضِّرَابِ ↓ انعدل. (TA.) [عَدَلَ الفَحْلَ see in what follows.] and عَدَلَ إِلَيْهِ, inf. n. عُدُولٌ, He returned to him, or it. (K.) A2: عَدَلَهُ: see 2, in two places. b2: عَدَلَ فُلَانًا بِفُلَانٍ He made such a one to be equal, or like, to such a one; (K;) [and] so به ↓ عادلهُ: (S:) or, accord. to some, العَدْلُ signifies the rating a thing as equal to a thing of another kind so as to make it like the latter. (TA.) One says, عَدَلْتُ هٰذَا بِهٰذَا I made this to be like and to stand in the stead of, this. (Msb.) And عَدَلَ بِرَبِّهِ, (El-Ahmar, TA,) aor. ـِ (S, O, TA,) inf. n. عَدْلٌ and عُدُولٌ, [غَيْرَهُ being understood,] He made another to be equal with his Lord, and worshipped him. (El-Ahmar, TA.) بِرَبِّهِمْ يَعْدِلُونَ, in the Kur [vi. 151, and accord. to some in vi. 1], means Attributing a copartner, or copartners, to their Lord. (O. [And the like is said in the S and Msb and TA.]) b3: عَدَلْتُ أَمْتِعَةَ البَيْتِ I made the goods, or furniture, of the house, or tent, into equal loads, [so as to counterbalance one another,] on the day of departure, or removal. (TA.) And بَيْنَ الشَّيْئَيْنِ ↓ عَادَلَ (S, O, TA) He made an equiponderance to subsist between the two things. (TA.) b4: فُلَانٌ يَعْدِلُ فُلَانًا Such a one is equal to such a one. (TA.) And يَعْدِلُهُ He, or it, is like him, or it. (Fr, S, O.) [Hence] one says, مَا يَعْدِلُكَ عِنْدَنَا شَىْءٌ Nothing stands with us in thy stead. (TA.) And عَدَلَهُ, aor. ـِ (K,) inf. n. عَدْلٌ, (TA,) It was, or became, equiponderant to it; as also ↓ عادلهُ, (K,) inf. n. مُعَادَلَةٌ. (TA.) And [hence] عَدَلَهُ فِى المَحْمِلِ, (K,) and ↓ عادلهُ, (TA,) He rode with him in the [vehicle called] محمل [so as to counterbalance him]. (K, TA.) b5: And عَدَلَ, aor. ـِ inf. n. عَدْلٌ, signifies also He turned a thing from its course, direction, or manner of being. (TA.)

And عَدَلْتُ الدَّابَّةَ إِلَى مَوْضِعِ كَذَا I turned the beast to such a place. (TA.) [See also two meanings assigned to this verb in the next paragraph, third sentence.]

A3: عَدُلَ, [aor. ـُ inf. n. عَدَالَةٌ (S, O, Msb) and عُدُولَةٌ, (Msb,) He (a man, S, O, i. e. a witness, Msb) was, or became, such as is termed عَدْل [q. v.]. (S, O, Msb.) A4: عَدِلَ, aor. ـَ inf. n. عَدَلٌ, He acted wrongfully, unjustly, injuriously, or tyrannically. (Msb.) 2 عدّلهُ, inf. n. تَعْدِيلٌ, i. q. أَقَامَهُ, (K,) meaning He made it to be conformable with that which is right; (TK;) namely, a judgment, or judicial decision. (K, TK.) b2: He made it straight, or even; namely, a thing; as, for instance, an arrow; (TA;) right, or in a right condition; direct, or rightly directed; (S, O, Msb, K, TA;) and so ↓ عَدَلَهُ. (O, K.) Hence, فَعَدَّلَكَ and ↓ فَعَدَلَكَ, accord. to different readers, in the Kur [lxxxii. 7, which I would rather render And hath made thee symmetrical]: (O:) or the latter means and hath turned thee from unbelief to belief; (IAar, O, TA;) or, accord. to Fr, and hath turned thee to whatever form He pleased, beautiful or ugly, tall or short: but Az says that the former reading was the more pleasing to Fr, and is the better. (TA.) b3: He made it equal; (Mgh, Msb, K, TA;) namely, a pair of scales, or a weight, (K, TA,) and a measure, &c. (TA.) Hence, قِسْمَةُ التَّعْدِيلِ i. e. The division of a thing [in an equal manner] with regard to the value and utility, not with regard to the quantity, so that the smaller portion may be equal to the larger portion in value and utility.

أَرْكَانِ الصَّلَاةِ means The making the limbs, or members, to be still, in the bowing of the head and body, and in the prostration, and in the standing between these two acts, and in the sitting between the two prostrations. (Mgh.) b6: عدّلهُ signifies also He attributed to him (i. e. a witness, Msb) what is termed عَدَالَة [inf. n. of عَدُلَ]; (O, Msb;) described him as possessing that quality; (Msb;) pronounced him to be veracious, and good, or righteous; (K;) pronounced him to be such as is termed عَدْل [q. v.]: (TA:) تَعْدِيلُ الشُّهُودِ is the pronouncing the witnesses to be عُدُول [pl. of عَدْلٌ]. (S.) b7: عدّل أَمْرَهُ: and عَدَّلْتُ بَيْنَهُمَا: see 3. b8: شَرِبَ حَتَّى عَدَّلَ He drank until he became full: (Aboo-'Adnán, O, TA:) or until his belly became like the [load called] عِدْل. (K.) 3 عَاْدَلَ see 1, in four places. One says, يُعَادِلُ فِى

الوَزْنِ [It is equal in weight; is equiponderant]. (IF, Msb.) And يُعَادِلُكَ فِى الوَزْنِ وَالقَدْرِ [He is equal to thee in weight and in size: as one who rides with thee in a مَحْمِل]. (S.) يُعَادِلُهُ فِى

(TA.) b3: And فُلَانٌ يُعَادِلُ أَمْرَهُ, and يُقَسِّمُهُ, (O, and so accord. to a copy of the S,) or عَدَالٌ, (so in another copy of the S,) inf. n. يُعَادِلُ هٰذَا الأَمْرَ, Such a one wavers, or vacillates, [in his case] between two affairs, hesitating which of them he shall do. (S, O.) And عادل أَمْرَهُ تَعْدِيلٌ He is in a state of entanglement in this affair, and does not execute it: (K:) he is in doubt respecting it. (TA.) And عادل أَمْرَهُ He paused [in his case], hesitating between two affairs, which he should do; as also ↓ عدّلهُ inf. n. تَعْدِيلٌ: and hence, in the trad. of the مِعْرَاج [or ladder by which Mohammad is related to have ascended from Jerusalem to Heaven], ↓ فَعَدَّلْتُ بَيْنَهُمَا [And I paused in hesitation between them two]; meaning that they were equal in his estimation, and he could not make choice of either of them. (TA.) And عَادَلْتُ بَيْنَ أَمْرَيْنِ أَيَّهُمَا

آتِى I wavered, or vacillated, between two affairs, hesitating which of them I should do. (TA.) المُعَادَلَةُ is The doubting respecting two affairs: and one says, أَنَا فِى عِدَالٍ مِنْ هٰذَا الأَمْرِ I am in doubt respecting this affair, whether I should do it or leave it undone: (TA:) or العِدَالُ is the considering deliberately respecting the case of two affairs that have occurred to one, when one knows not to which of them he should betake himself. (IAar, K.) And The case of one person's saying

“ There is in it something remaining ” and another's saying “ There is not in it anything remaining. ” (S, O.) And one says, when he wavers, or vacillates, between two affairs, hesitating which of them he shall do, and then a right opinion occurs to him, and he determines upon that which is the more fit in his estimation, قَطَعْتُ العِدَالَ فِى أَمْرِى وَمَضَيْتُ عَلَى عَزْمِى [I cut short wavering in my affair, and executed my determination]. (TA.) b4: And عادل signifies also It became crooked, or bent. (K.) 5 تعدّل It became, or was rendered, straight, or even; syn. تَقَوَّمَ. (Msb in art. قوم.) b2: and تَعَدَّلَتْ قِيمَةُ المَتَاعِ بِكَذَا The value of the commodity was equal to such a thing; syn. قَامَ المَتَاعُ بِكَذَا. (Msb in art. قوم.) 6 تَعَادُلٌ The being, or becoming, equal. (Msb.) You say, تَعَادَلَا [They two became equal]. (M and K voce تَبَاوَآ, q. v., in art. بوأ.) b2: [Also The being, or becoming, intermediate in quality.]7 إِنْعَدَلَ see 1, former half, in two places.8 اعتدل It was, or became, right, or in a right condition; direct, or rightly directed; straight, or even; (S, O, Msb, TA;) equal; (as a pair of scales, or a weight, and a measure, &c.; TA;) equable, or uniform; (Msb, TA;) [symmetrical, proportionate,] suitable in itself [or in its parts]. (K.) The saying, cited by Sh, وَاعْتَدَلَتْ ذَاتُ السَّنَامِ الأَمْيَلِ means And she that had an inclining hump became straight [and erect] in her hump by reason of fatness. (TA.) And one says جَارِيَةٌ حَسَنَةُ الاِعْتِدَالِ A girl, or young woman, goodly in respect of stature [or proportion]. (A, TA.) And اعتدل الشِّعْرُ The poetry, or verse, was, or became, measured, and right in its feet. (TA.) b2: Also It was, or became, of a middling sort, in quantity, or quality; (K, TA;) as a body between tallness and shortness, and water between the hot and the cold; and [moderate, or temperate,] as a day of which the air is pleasant. (TA.) عَدْلٌ Equity, justice, or rectitude; contr. of جَوْرٌ; (S, O, Msb, K, TA;) i. e. i. q. قَصْدٌ, in affairs; (Msb;) and قِسْطٌ; (S, M, Mgh, &c., in art. قسط;) and سَوِيَّةٌ; (O, K;) and اِسْتِقَامَةٌ; (IAar, K;) and a thing that is established in the minds as being right; (K, TA;) as also ↓ مَعْدِلَةٌ (S, O, Msb, K) and ↓ مَعْدَلَةٌ (S, Msb, K) and ↓ عَدَالَةٌ and ↓ عُدُولَةٌ: (K:) or, as some say, it is the mean between excess and falling short: and Er-Rághib says, it is of two sorts: one is absolute, such that reason requires the inference of its goodness; and this will not at any time be abrogated, nor described as a mode of transgression; as the doing good to him who does good to thee, and the abstaining from harming him who abstains from harming thee: and the other is such as is known to be عَدْل by the law; and this may be abrogated sometimes; as retaliation, and fines for wounds and maimings, and the taking the property of the apostate; and this is what is meant by the saying in the Kur [xvi. 92], إِنَّ اللّٰهَ يَأْمُرُ بِالْعَدْلِ وَالْإِحْسَانِ i. e. [Verily God commandeth] equality in recompensing, if good, with good, and if evil, with evil, and the requiting of good with more good, and of evil with less evil: [see also 4 in art. حسن:] and he says of ↓ عَدَالَةٌ and ↓ مَعْدِلَةٌ, that each is a term requiring the inference of equality, and is used with a regard to correlation. (TA.) One says, بَسَطَ الوَالِى عَدْلَهُ and ↓ مَعْدِلَتَهُ (S, O) and ↓ مَعْدَلَتَهُ (S) [The governor, or ruler, largely extended his equity, or justice]. And ↓ فُلَانٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ المَعْدَلَةِ, (S,) or ↓ المَعْدِلَةِ, (O,) i. e. من اهل العَدْلِ [Such a one is of the people of equity, &c.]. (S, O.) وَأَشْهِدُوا ذَوَىْ عَدْلٍ مِنْكُمْ, in the Kur [lxv. 2], is said by Sa'eed Ibn-El-Museiyib to mean ذَوَىْ عَقْلٍ [i. e. And make ye to be witnesses two persons of intelligence from among you: but this rendering I think questionable]. (TA.) b2: Also Repayment, requital, compensation, or recompense. (K.) b3: And Ransom, (S, O, Msb, K, TA,) when regard is had therein to the meaning of equality, or equivalence. (TA.) This is [said to be] the meaning in the phrase of the Kur [v. 96], أَوْ عَدْلُ ذٰلِكَ صِيَامًا [Or the ransom thereof by fasting: but this is generally expl. as meaning or the like thereof of fasting; (see عِدْلٌ;) i. e., in lieu of feeding a number of poor men, one shall fast the like number of days]. (S, O.) And so [accord. to some] in the saying, occurring in a trad., لَا يُقْبَلُ مِنْهُ صَرْفٌ وَلَا عَدْلٌ [of which see various explanations (including three renderings here following) in art. صرف]. (O, Msb.) b4: And Measure; syn. كَيْلٌ. (K.) So in the phrase أَعْطَاهُ بِالعَدْلِ [He gave him by measure]. (TK.) b5: And An obligatory act or divine ordinance. (En-Nadr, O, K.) b6: And A supererogatory act. (O, K.) A2: Also One who acts equitably, justly, or rightly; and so ↓ عَادِلٌ: (K, TA:) or the latter signifies thus: (S, O:) and the former [particularly] signifies a man approved and satisfactory in testimony; originally an inf. n.; (S, O, TA;) whose testimony is approved and available; (Msb;) a man whose testimony is allowable, or legally admissible, as also ↓ عَادِلٌ; a man whose saying, and whose judgment, or judicial decision, are approved; and, accord. to Ibráheem, one from whom a thing occasioning doubt, or suspicion, or evil opinion, has not appeared: being originally an inf. n., it means ذُو عَدْلٍ: or, accord. to IJ, it is an intensive epithet, as though meaning possessing every kind of عَدْل: (TA:) one says رَجُلٌ عَدْلٌ, (S, O, Msb, * K,) and اِمْرَأَةٌ عَدْلٌ and عَدْلَةٌ, (Msb, K,) the latter mentioned by IJ, (TA,) and رَجُلَانِ عَدْلٌ and عَدْلَانِ, (Msb, * TA,) and قَوْمٌ عَدْلٌ (S, O, Msb, * K) and نِسْوَةٌ عَدْلٌ (TA) and قَوْمٌ عُدُولٌ, (S, O, Msb, * K,) عُدُولٌ being pl. of عَدْلٌ, (S, O, Msb,) or of عَادِلٌ, (K,) and عَدْلٌ used in a pl. sense being a quasi-pl. n. of عَادِلٌ, (M, K,) like تَجْرٌ [of تَاجِرٌ] and شَرْبٌ [of شَارِبٌ]; (M, TA;) or رِجَالٌ عَدْلٌ and نِسْوَةٌ عَدْلٌ mean رِجَالٌ ذَوُو عَدْلٍ and نِسْوَانٌ ذَوَاتُ عَدْلٍ. (TA.) b2: العَدْلُ as one of the names of God means He whom desire does not cause to incline, or decline, so that he should deviate from the right course in judgment. (TA.) b3: And one says, هٰذَا عَدْلٌ بَيْنَهُمَا, meaning This is intermediate in quality between them two, not in the utmost degree of goodness nor in the extreme degree of badness. (Mgh.) And مَكَانٌ عَدْلٌ بَيْنَ فَرِيقَيْنِ [A place equidistant, or midway, between two parties]. (S in art. سوى.) b4: See also عِدْلٌ, throughout the greater part of the paragraph.

A3: عَدْلٌ is also the name of a certain chief of the [body of armed men called] شُرَط, (S, O,) or شُرْطَة, (K,) of a تُبَّع [or King of El-Yemen], who, when he desired the slaughter of a man, delivered him to this person; (S, O, K;) whereupon the people said, وُضِعَ عَلَى

يَدَىْ عَدْلٍ [He has been consigned to the hands of 'Adl]; (S, O;) and this was afterwards said of anything of which one despaired. (S, O, K.) [Meyd mentions عَلَى يَدَىْ عَدْلٍ, as a prov., without وُضِعَ: see Freytag's Arab. Prov. ii. 80.]

عِدْلٌ The like (IAar, Zj, O, K) of a thing; (IAar, O;) as also ↓ عَدْلٌ; syn. مِثْلٌ; (IAar, Zj, O, K;) and نَظِيرٌ [which signifies the same, or the equal]; and so ↓ عَدِيلٌ: (K:) or, accord. to Er-Rághib, ↓ عَدْلٌ and عِدْلٌ are nearly the same; but the former is used in relation to what is perceived mentally, as in the phrase of the Kur [v. 96], أَوْ عَدْلُ ذٰلِكَ صِيَامًا [mentioned voce عَدْلٌ]; and عِدْلٌ and ↓ عَدِيلٌ, in relation to what is perceived by the sense, as things weighed and things numbered and things measured: Ibn-'Ámir, however, read او عِدْلُ ذلك; and Ks and the people of El-Medeeneh, with fet-h [i. e. عَدْلُ]: (TA:) or عِدْلُ الشَّىْءِ, with kesr, signifies the like of the thing in kind, (Mgh, Msb,) or in quantity, or measure, or the like, (Msb,) or also in quantity, or measure, or the like, (Mgh,) and IF says, in weight; (Msb;) and ↓ عَدْلُهُ, with fet-h, (Mgh, Msb,) its like, (Mgh,) or what will stand in its stead, (Msb,) of a thing different in kind, (Mgh, Msb;) whence the phrase of the Kur أَوْ عَدْلُ ذٰلِكَ صِيَامًا [mentioned above]; عَدْل being originally an inf. n.: (Msb:) Akh says, العِدْلُ, with kesr, signifies المِثْلُ; and ↓ العَدْلُ, with fet-h, is originally an inf. n., but is made a subst. to denote المِثْلُ in order to distinguish it from the عِدْل of goods or commodities [which will be expl. in what follows]: Fr says, العِدْلُ, with kesr, is the like (المِثْلُ), as in the saying عِنْدِى عِدْلُ غُلَامِكَ [I have the like of thy boy or young man] and عِدْلُ شَاتِكَ [the like of thy sheep or goat]; but you say ↓ العَدْلُ, with nasb [i. e. fet-h] to the ع, when you mean the [equal in] value, of what is different in kind; though sometimes it is pronounced with kesr by some of the Arabs, app. by an error on their part: (S, O:) or some allow one's saying عِنْدِى عِدْلُ غُلَامِكَ as meaning I have the like of thy boy or young man, [and app. ↓ عَدْلُهُ also,] and عَدْلُهُ with fet-h only as meaning his value: (TA:) but Zj says that العَدْلُ and العِدْلُ both signify the like, whether it be of the same kind or of a different kind; and if one make a mistake, he should not say that some of the Arabs have erred: (O:) the pl. (S, O, K) of عِدْلٌ, by common consent, (S, O,) is أَعْدَالٌ, (S, O, K,) and [that of ↓ عَدِيلٌ is] عُدَلَآءُ. (K.) b2: Also The half of a load, (K, TA,) such as is on either of the two sides of the camel; (TA;) or a burden [borne on one side of a beast, counterbalancing another on the other side, or] made equiponderant to another burden: (Az, TA:) pl. [of pauc.] أَعْدَالٌ and [of mult.] عُدُولٌ: (Sb, K:) and ↓ عَدِيلٌ signifies the equal of a person in weight and measure or size or the like (S, K, * TA) in the [vehicle called] مَحْمِل: (TA:) Sb says that it signifies a human being that is the equal of another [in weight]; distinguishing it from عِدْلٌ, which, he says, is applied only to goods, or commodities: (IB, TA:) [but] ↓ عَدِيلَتَانِ signifies two sacks (غِرَارَتَانِ); because each counter balances, or is equiponderant to, the other. (TA.) Hence one says of the عُدُول of an evil judicial decision, مَا هُمْ عُدُولٌ وَلٰكِنْ عُدُولٌ [meaning They are not witnesses whose testimony is approvable, but equalized loads of merchandise]. (TA.) And [hence also] one says, وَقَعَ المُصْطَرِعَانِ عِدْلَىْ بَعِيرٍ, meaning The two [men wrestling] fell together, neither of them having thrown down the other. (TA. [See also عِكْمٌ.]) عَدَلٌ The equalizing of the [two burdens, or half-loads, called] عِدْلَانِ. (IAar, O, K.) عَدَلَةٌ: see what next follows, in two places.

عُدَلَةٌ Men who pronounce witnesses to be veracious, and good, or righteous; (Az, IAar, O, K, * TA;) as also ↓ عَدَلَةٌ; (K;) and the former is also applied to a man who does so: (Az, O, TA: *) or the former is applied to a single per-son, and ↓ عَدَلَةٌ is applied to a pl. number. (AA, K, TA.) عَدِيلٌ: see عِدْلٌ, in four places.

عَدَالَةٌ: see عَدْلٌ, in two places. It is an inf. n. of عَدُلَ (S, O, Msb) said of a witness; like ↓ عُدُولَةٌ: and signifies The quality of a witness such as is termed عَدْلٌ [q. v.]: it is expl. as being a quality the regard of which necessitates the guarding against what falls short of the requirements of manly virtue or moral goodness, habitually and evidently; which evident falling short thereof is not effected by small instances of lapses or falls into wrongdoing, and by perversion of speech, because mistake and forgetfulness are supposable [as the causes thereof], and interpretation not according to the obvious meaning; but it is when such is the known and repeated practice of the person: regard is to be had to the goodness, or honesty, of every individual, and his usual practice in respect of his apparel, and his dealing in selling and buying, and the conveyance of goods, and other things; and when he does that which is not suitable to him, without necessity, his testimony is impugned; otherwise it is not.
