خنفس

خُنْفَسٌ and its variations: see what here follows.

خُنْفَسَآءُ (S, Msb, K) [in two copies of the S, in which it is without the article, written without tenween, but in the Msb and K it has the article prefixed, and is therefore necessarily without tenween,] and خُنْفُسَآء, (Msb, TA,) which is more common, (Msb,) [but this I doubt, for I have found it nowhere else,] and ↓ خُنْفَسٌ (S, K) and خُنْفُسٌ (TA) and خِنْفِسٌ, (K,) which last is of the dial. of the people of El-Basrah, (TA,) and خُنْفُسَةٌ and خُنْفُسَةٌ, (K,) [The black beetle: or a certain species thereof:] a well-known creeping thing; (Msb;) a certain insect, (S, K,) black, (K,) of fetid odour, smaller than the جُعَل, found in the bottoms of walls: (TA:) the first and second of these words are both applied to the male and the female: (Msb:) or خُنْفَسٌ is applied to the male, (AA, Msb,) by some of the Arabs, (Msb,) and is syn. with عُنْظَبٌ and حُنْظَبٌ, (AA, TA,) and خُنْفُسٌ is not disallowable, being agree-able with analogy: (Msb:) and خُنْفَسَاءَةٌ is applied to the female, [which, if correct, shows خنفسآء to be with tenween,] and so is خُنْفَسَةٌ: (S:) or خنفساءة, with ة, is not allowable; [and if so, خنفسآء is without tenween;] (As, TA;) and خنفسة is [not applied to the female, but] used by the Benoo-Asad for خنفسآء, as though they made the ة a substitute for the ا: (Msb:) [and this seems to indicate that the ا is a fem. ا, grammatically speaking, and that the word is therefore without tenween:] the pl. is خَنَافِسُ. (Msb.) One says, هُوَ أَلَحُّ مِنَ الخُنْفَسَآءِ [He is more persevering than the black beetle]: because it returns to thee as often as thou throwest it away. (TA.) [Accord. to the K, the ن in the words of this art. is radical; but accord. to the S and Msb, augmentative.]

خل

1 خَلَّ لَحْمُهُ, aor. ـُ (Ks, S, K, TA, in the CK خَلَّ,) [irreg. in the case of an intrans. v. of this class, unless the verb be of the measure فَعُلَ,] and خَلِّ, (K,) [agreeably with general rule,] inf. n. خَلٌّ and خُلُولٌ; (Ks, S, K;) and ↓ اختلّ; (Sgh, K;) His flesh became little, or scanty; (Ks, S;) or his flesh decreased, diminished, or wasted: (K:) he became lean, or spare. (Ks, S, K.) [But it seems, from what follows, that the verb may be of the measure فَعِلَ, aor. ـَ as well as of the measure فَعَلَ, aor. ـِ or خَلُّ; or perhaps of the measures فَعِلَ and فَعَلَ and فَعُلَ, so that the aor. may be regularly خَلَّ and خَلِّ and خَلُّ.] b2: You say also خَلِلْتُ مِنْ كَذَا I missed such a thing. (JK.) And خَلَّ البَعِيرُ مِنَ الرَّبِيعِ The camel missed the [herbage called] ربيع, and became lean in consequence thereof. (JK, Ibn-'Abbád, TA.) b3: and خَلَّ, (JK, S, K,) inf. n. خَلٌّ; (TA;) and ↓ أَخَلَّ, (JK, Msb, TA,) or ↓ أُخِلَّ, (K,) and بِهِ ↓ أُخِلَّ; (S, TA;) and ↓ اختلّ; (MA, KL;) said of a man, (JK, S, Msb,) He was, or became, poor, or in want or need. (JK, S, MA, KL, Msb, K, AT.) A2: خَلَّ الشَّىْءَ, (K,) aor. ـُ inf. n. خَلٌّ, (TA,) He, or it, perforated the thing; transpierced it, or pierced it through; as also ↓ تخللّٰهُ: (K:) so in the M. (TA.) You say, خَلَلْتُ الشَّىْءَ بِالخِلَالِ, aor. ـُ I transfixed, or transpierced, the thing with the [pin called] خلال. (JK,) [And خَلَّ اللَّحْمَ He skewered the flesh-meat.] And خَلَلْتُهُ بِالرُّمْحِ I pierced him with the spear. (JK.) And بِالرُّمْحِ ↓ اختلّهُ He transpierced him, or transfixed him, with the spear; (T, M, K, TA;) and so بِالسَّهْمِ with the arrow: (S:) or the former signifies he pierced him with the spear and transfixed his heart: (TA:) accord. to Az, الاِخْتِلَالُ relates to the heart and the liver. (M in art. نظم.) And CCC الثَّوْرُ ↓ يَخْتَلًّ

الكَلْبَ بِقَرْنِهِ [The bull pierces the dog with his horn]. (JK. [It is there vaguely indicated that ↓ خِلَّةٌ signifies The act, or perhaps the effect, of a bull's piercing a dog with his horn.]) and بِالرُّمْحِ ↓ تخللّٰهُ He pierced him time after time with the spear. (M, K.) b2: And خَلَّ الفَصِيلَ, (K,) inf. n. خَلٌّ, (TA,) He slit the tongue of the young camel, and inserted into it a wooden pin called خِلَال, in order that he might not such: (K:) or [simply] he slit the tongue of the young camel, in order that he might not be able to such [any longer], so that he became lean; as also خَلَّ لِسَانَ الفَصِيلِ: (S:) or الخَلُّ signifies the fixing a خِلَال above the nose of the young camel, to prevent his sucking. (TA in art. لهج.) b3: and خَلَّةُ, (T, Mgh, Msb, K, TA,) aor. ـُ inf. n. خَلٌّ, (S, Msb, TA,) namely, a thing, (TA,) a garment, (T, TA,) a [garment such as is called] كِسَآء (S, K, TA) or رَدَآء (Mgh, Msb) &c., (TA,) and a [tent such as is called] خِبَآء, (S, TA,) He pinned it with the [pin called] خِلَال; (T, TA;) he conjoined (Mgh, Msb, TA) its two edges, (Mgh, Msb,) or its edges, (TA,) or he fastened it, (K,) with a خِلَال: (S, Mgh, Msb, K, TA:) and ↓ خللّٰهُ has a similar, but intensive, signification. (Msb) A poet says, سَمِعْنَ بِمَوْتِهِ فَظَهَرْنَ نَوْحًا قِيَامًا مَا يُخَلُّ لَهُنَّ عُودُ meaning, لَا يُخَلُّ لَهُنَّ ثَوْبٌ بِعُودٍ [i. e. They (the women) heard of his death, and appeared, wailing, standing; no garment of theirs having its edges fastened together with a pointed piece of wood]. (TA.) A3: خَلَّ الإِبِلَ, (K,) aor. ـُ inf. n. خَلٌّ, (TA,) He removed, transferred, or shifted, the camels to what is termed خُلَّة [after they had been pasturing upon حَمْض]; as also ↓ أَخَلَّهَا: (K:) or the latter signifies he pastured them upon خُلَّة. (S.) A4: خَلَّ, (Lh, S, K,) [aor. ـُ inf. n. خَلٌّ, (TA,) is also syn. with خَصَّ [He particularized, or specified]; (Lh, S, K;) contr. of عَمَّ; (K;) and so ↓ خلّل: (JK, S, TA:) thus in the phrase, عَمَّ فِى دُعَائِهِ وَخَلَّ (S, TA) and وَخَلَّلَ (JK, S, TA) [He included, or comprehended, persons or things in common, or in general, in his prayer or supplication &c., and particularized, or specified, some person or thing, or some persons or things].2 خلّل أَسْنَانَهُ, inf. n. تَخْلِيلٌ, [He picked his teeth;] he extracted the remains of food between his teeth with a خِلَال [or toothpick]; (Msb, K, * in which latter the pass. form of the verb is mentioned;) and so ↓ تخلّل, alone; (T, S, * O, TA;) but accord. to the K, you say, تخللّٰهُ [he extracted it], meaning the remains of food between the teeth. (TA.) b2: خلّل الشَّعَرَ بِالمُشْطِ [He separated the hair with the comb; he combed the hair]. (Mgh voce تَشْرِيحٌ.) b3: خلّل لِحْيَتَهُ, (S, * Msb, K,) and أَصَابِعَهُ, (S, * K,) inf. n. as above, (S,) He made the water to flow into the interstices of his beard, (Msb, K,) and of his fingers or toes, (K,) in the ablution termed وُضُوْء; (S, TA;) and ↓ تخلّل, alone, signifies the same. (S.) It (the former) is as though it were taken from تَخَلَّلْتُ القَوْمَ meaning “I entered amid the breaks, or interspaces, of the people. ” (Msb.) Hence the trad., خَلِّلُوا أَصَابِعَكُمْ لَا تُخَلَّلَهَا نَارٌ قَلِيلٌ بُقْيَاهَا [Make ye the water to flow into the interstices of your fingers or toes, lest fire that shall spare little be made to flow into their interstices]. (TA.) b4: خللّٰهُ كِلْسًا He put صَارُوج [or كِلْس, i. e. quick lime, &c.,] into the interstices of its (a building's) stones. (TA in art. كلس.) b5: خلّل القِثَّآءَ, and البِطِّيخَ, inf. n. as above, He investigated the state of the cucumbers, and the melons, or water-melons, so as to see every one that had not grown, and put another in its place. (AA, TA.) b6: See also 1, in the latter half of the paragraph.

A2: And see 1 again, last sentence.

A3: خلّل, inf. n. تَخْلِيلٌ, said of wine and of other beverages, It became acid, or sour; and spoiled: (K:) or, said of شَرَاب [i. e. wine and the like], (Mgh,) or of نَبِيذ [i. e. must and the like], (Msb,) or of expressed juice, (K,) it became vinegar; (Mgh, Msb, K;) as also ↓ اختلّ; (Lth, K;) but this is disallowed by Az; (TA;) and ↓ تخلّل; but this is of the language of the lawyers; (Mgh;) or, said of نبيذ, this last signifies it was made into vinegar: (Msb:) or خلّل, said of شراب, signifies it spoiled, (JK, T,) and became vinegar. (T.) A4: تَخْلِيلٌ also signifies The making vinegar; (S;) and so ↓ اِخْتِلَالٌ; (K;) i. e. of the expressed juice of grapes and of dates. (TA.) You say, خلّل الخَمْرَ, (K,) or الشَّرَابَ, (Mgh,) or النَّبِيذ, inf. n. as above, (Msb,) the verb being trans. as well as intrans., (Mgh, Msb, K,) and النَّبِيذَ ↓ تخلّل, (TA,) He made the wine, or beverage, or must or the like, into vinegar. (Mgh, Msb, K, TA.) A5: And خلّل البُسْرَ He put the full-grown unripe dates in the sun, and then sprinkled them (نَضَحَهُ, in some copies of the K نضجه,) with vinegar, and placed them in a jar: (K:) so in the M: and in like manner, other things than بُسْر; as cucumbers, and cabbage, and بَاذَنْجَان [q. v.], and onions. (TA.) [Accord. to modern usage, the verb signifies He pickled.]3 خالّهُ, (JK, Mgh, K,) inf. n. مُخَالَّةٌ and خِلَالٌ (JK, S, K) and [quasi-inf. n.] ↓ خُلَّةٌ, (JK,) He acted, or associated, with him as a friend, or as a true, or sincere, friend. (JK, S, * Mgh, K.) لَا بَيْعٌ فِيهِ وَلَا خِلَالٌ, in the Kur [xiv. 36], is said to mean [Wherein shall be no buying or selling] nor mutual befriending: or [and no friends, or true friends, for], as some say, خِلَالٌ is here pl. of ↓ خُلَّةٌ, like as جِلَالٌ is pl. of جُلَّةٌ. (TA.) 4 أَخَلَّ and أُخِلَّ and أُخِلَّ بِهِ: see 1, near the beginning. b2: أخَلَّ بِهِ He (a man) fell, or stopped, short in it; fell short of accomplishing it; fell short of doing what was requisite, or due, or what he ought to have done, in it, or with respect to it; or flagged, or was remiss, in it; namely, a thing; syn. قَصَّرَ فِيهِ; (Msb;) as, for instance, in belief, and in confession thereof, and in works: (Ksh and Bd in ii. 2:) he left it, neglected it, omitted it; or left it undone: (Har p. 402:) or i. q. أَجْحَفَ بِهِ [app. as meaning he was near to falling short of accomplishing it, or of doing what was requisite in it; or was near to being remiss in it]; namely, a thing. (K.) b3: He failed of fulfilling his compact with him, or his promise to him. (K.) b4: He became absent, or he absented himself, from it; he left, abandoned, or quitted, it; namely, a place &c. (K.) You say, اخلّ بِمَرْكَزِهِ He (a man, S, or a horseman, Mgh) left, abandoned, or quitted, his station (S, Mgh) which the commander had appointed him. (Mgh.) And اخلّ بِهِمْ He became absent, or he absented himself, from them. (JK.) b5: اخلّ الوَالِى بِالثُّغُورِ The prefect made the frontiers to be kept by a small body of troops. (K.) A2: أَخَلَّ إِلَيْهِ: see 8.

A3: اخلّهُ He made him, or caused him, to want, or be in need. (JK, S, K.) Yousay, مَا أَخَلَّكَ إِلَى هٰذَا What has made thee, or caused thee, to want, or be in need of, this? (S.) And مَا أَخَلَّكَ اللّٰهُ إِلَيْهِ What has God made thee, or caused thee, to want, or be in need of? (Lh, K.) A4: اخلّ الأِبِلَ: see 1, near the end of the paragraph.

A5: اخلّوا, (K,) inf. n. إِخْلَالٌ, (TA,) Their camels pastured upon what is termed خُلَّة. (K.) b2: Hence, اخلّ said of a man signifies (assumed tropical:) أَخَذَ مِنْ قُبُلٍ [i. e. He took frontways]: opposed to أَحْمَضَ [and حَمَّضَ, q. v.], meaning أَخَذَ مِنْ دُبُرٍ. (TA.) A6: اخلّت النَّخْلَةُ The palmtree produced bad fruit. (A' Obeyd, JK, S, K.) b2: And The palm-tree produced dates such as are termed خَلَال: [like أَبْلَحَت from بَلَحٌ:] thus it bears two contr. significations. (K.) 5 تخلّل [primarily signifies It entered, or penetrated, or passed through, the خِلَال, i. e. interstices, &c., of a thing]. You say, تَخَلَّلْتُ القَوْمَ I entered amid the breaks, or interspaces, of the people. (S, M, Msb, K. *) And تَخَلَّلُوا الدِّيَارَ [They went through the midst of the houses]. (S in art. جوس.) And تخلّل الرَّمْلَ He passed through the sands. (Az, TA.) And تخلّل القَلْبَ (assumed tropical:) [It penetrated the heart]; said of admonition. (TA in art. بهم.) And تخلّل الاشَّىْءُ The thing [i. e. anything] went, or passed, through. (JK, * S, K.) b2: [Hence, It intervened; said of a time &c. And hence the phrase مِنْ غَيْرِ تَخَلُّلِ Without interruption.] b3: And تخلّل المَطَرُ The rain was confined to a particular place, or to particular places; was not general. (S, K.) b4: See also 1, in two places, in the former half of the paragraph. b5: تخلّل الرُّطَبَ He sought out the fresh ripe dates in the interstices of the roots of the branches (M, K) after the cutting off of the racemes of fruit. (M.) And تخلّل النَّخْلَةَ He picked the dates that were among the roots of the branches of the palm-tree; as also تَكَرَّبَهَا. (AHn, TA.) b6: For other significations, see 2, in four places.6 تَخَالٌّ [said of several persons] The being friendly, one with another. (KL.) [You say, تَخَالُّوا They acted together, or associated, as friends, or as true friends.]8 اختلّ [primarily signifies] It had interstices, breaks, chinks, or the like. (MA. [See خَلَلٌ.]) b2: [And hence,] It was, or became, shaky, loose, lax, uncompact, disordered, unsound, corrupt, (Msb,) faulty, or defective, (KL, Msb,) [and weak, or infirm, (see خَلَلٌ and مُخْتَلٌّ,)] said of a thing or an affair; (KL;) it became altered for the worse. (Msb.) [You say, اختلّ مِزَاجُهُ His constitution, or temperament, became in a corrupt or disordered state. And اختلّ alone He was, or became, disordered in temper; (see تَحَمَّضَ;) but this seems to be from the same verb said of a camel; (see اختلّت الأِبِلُ, below;) for the camel becomes disordered in his stomach by pasturing long upon خُلَّة, without shifting to حَمْض. And اختلّ عَقْلَهُ His mind, or intellect, was, or became, unsound, or disordered.] and اختلّ أَمْرُهُ [His affair, or state, was, or became, unsound, corrupt, or disordered]; (S, voce اِضْطَرَبَ;) i. e. وَقَعَ فِيهِ الخَلَلُ. (JM.) b3: He was, or became, lean, meagre, or emaciated; (KL;) and so اختلّ جِسْمُهُ. (S.) See 1, first sentence. b4: See also خَلَّ as syn. with أَخَلَّ or أُخِلَّ &c., near the beginning of the first paragraph. [Hence,] اختلّ إِلَيْهِ He wanted it, or needed it; (S, Msb, K;) namely, a thing; (S, Msb;) as also اليه ↓ أَخَلَّ: (TA:) whence the saying of Ibn-Mes'ood, عَلَيْكُمْ بِالعِلْمِ فَإِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ لَايَدْرِى مَتَى يُخْتَلُّ إِلَيْهِ [Keep ye to the pursuit of knowledge, or science; for any one of you knows not, or will not know, when it will be wanted, or needed]; i. e., when men will want, or need, that [knowledge] which he possesses. (S.) You say also, اُخْتُلَّ إِلَى فُلَانٍ Such a one was wanted, or needed. (JK.) A2: See also 2, in two places.

A3: اختلّهُ بِالرُّمْحِ, and بِالسَّهْمِ: and يَخْتَلُّ الثَّوْرُ الكَلْبَ بِقَرْنِهِ: see 1, in the former half of the paragraph. b2: اختلّ also signifies He served together. (KL.) b3: اُخْتُلَّ said of herbage: see خُلَّةٌ, near the end of the paragraph.

A4: اختلّ المَكَانُ The place had in it خُلَّة [q. v.]. (MA.) b2: And اختلّت الإِبِلُ The camels were confined in [pasturage such as is termed] خُلَّة. (K.) R. Q. 1 خَلْخَلَهَا He attired her with the خِلْخَال [or anklet, or pair of anklets]. (TA.) A2: خلخل العَظْمَ He took the flesh that was upon the bone. (K.) R. Q. 2 تَخَلْخَلَتْ She attired herself with the خَلْخَال [or anklet, or pair of anklets]. (K.) A2: تخلخل It (a garment, or piece of cloth,) was, or became, old, and worn out. (JK.) خَلٌّ a word of well-known meaning, (S, Msb.) Vinegar; i. e. expressed juice of grapes (JK, Mgh, K) and of dates (JK) &c. (K) that has become acid, or sour: (JK, * Mgh, K:) so called because its sweet flavour has become altered for the worse (اِخْتَلَّ): (Msb:) a genuine Arabic word: (IDrd, K:) the best is that of wine: it is composed of two constituents (K) of subtile natures, (TA,) hot and cold, (K,) the cold being predominant: (TA:) and is good for the stomach; and for the gums, (K,) which it strengthens, when one rinses the mouth with it; (TA;) and for foul ulcers or sores; and for the itch; and for the bite, or sting, of venomous reptiles; and as an antidote for the eating of opium; and for burns; and for toothache; and its hot vapour is good for the dropsy, and for difficulty of hearing, and for ringing in the ears: (K: [various other properties &c. are assigned to it in the TA:]) ↓ خَلَّةٌ signifies somewhat (lit. a portion) thereof; [being the n. un.:] (Aboo-Ziyád, K;) or it may be a dial. var. thereof, like as خَمْرَةٌ is [said by some to be] of خَمْرٌ: (Aboo-Ziyád, TA:) see also خَلَّةٌ: the pl. is خُلُولٌ [meaning sorts, or kinds, of vinegar]. (Msb.) It is said in a trad., نِعْمَ الإِدَامُ الخَلُّ [Excellent, or most excellent, is the seasoning, vinegar!]. (TA.) b2: [Hence,] أُمُّ الخَلِّ [The mother of vinegar; meaning] wine. (JK, TA.) b3: [Hence also the saying,] مَا فُلَانٌ بِخَلٍّ وَلَا خَمْرٍ, (A'Obeyd, JK, S,) or مَا لَهُ خَلٌّ وَلَا خَمْرٌ, (K,) or مَا عِنْدَ فُلَانٍ خَلٌّ وَلَا خَمْرٌ, (S, in art. خمر,) Such a one, or he, possesses neither good nor evil: (A'Obeyd, JK, S, K:) [or neither evil nor good: for] AA says that some of the Arabs make الخَمْرُ to be good, and الخَلُّ to be evil; [and thus the latter is explained in one place, in this art., in the K;] and some of them make الخمر to be evil, and الخلّ to be good. (Har p. 153.) A2: I. q. حَمْضٌ [i. e. A kind of plants in which is saltness: or salt and bitter plants: or salt, or sour, plants or trees: &c.: opposed to خُلَّةٌ]. (K.) A poet says, لَيْسَتْ مِنَ الخَلِّ وَلَا الخِمَاطِ [She is not, or they are not, of the plants or trees called خلّ, nor of the kind called خماط (pl. of خَمْطٌ)]. (TA.) A3: A road in sands: (S:) or a road passing through sands: or a road between two tracts of sand: (K:) or a road passing through heaped-up sands: (JK, K:) masc. and fem. [like طَرِيقٌ]: (S, K:) pl. [of pauc.] أَخْلٌّ and [of mult.] خِلَالٌ. (K.) One says حَيَّةُ خَلٍّ

(Ham p. 709.) b3: b4: A vein in the neck (JK, K) and in the back, (K,) communicating with the head. (JK, TA.) b5: A slit, or rent, in a garment, or piece of cloth. (K.) A4: An old and worn-out garment, or piece of cloth, (JK, S, K, TA,) in which are streaks: (TA:) [or so ثَوْبٌ خَلٌّ:] and ↓ خَلْخَلٌ and ↓ خَلْخَلٌ, applied to a garment, or piece of cloth, (JK, K,) signify old and worn out, (JK,) or thin, (K,) like هَلْهَلٌ and هَلْهَالٌ. (TA.) b2: A bird having no feathers: (JK:) or having few feathers. (K.) b3: A man (JK, S) lean, meagre, or emaciated; (JK, S, K;) as also ↓ خَلِيلٌ (K) [a meaning said in the TA to be tropical] and ↓ مَخْلُولٌ and ↓ مُخْتَلٌّ: (TA:) or light in body: (IDrd, TA:) and [the fem.] خَلَّةٌ, applied to a woman, light (K, TA) in body, lean, or spare: (TA:) the pl. of خَلٌّ is خُلُولٌ. (JK.) Also Fat: thus bearing two contr. significations: (K:) and so ↓ مَخْلُولٌ. (TA.) It is applied to a man and a camel. (TA.) Accord. to the K, it also signifies A [young camel such as is termed]

فَصِيل: (TA:) but it means such as is lean, or emaciated: (TA:) and so ↓ مَخْلُولٌ, applied to a فصيل as an epithet, for a reason mentioned above, in an explanation of the phrase خَلَّ الفَصِيلَ. (S, TA.) b4: Also i. q. اِبْنُ مَخَاضٍ [i. e. A male camel in his second year]; (JK, K;) and so ↓ خَلَّةٌ; which is also applied to the female: (As, S, K:) and i. q. اِبْنُ لَبُونٍ [i. e. a male camel in, or entering upon, his third year]; and in like manner ↓ خَلَّةٌ is applied to the female; (JK;) or, as in the M, to a she-camel; (TA;) and, as some say, (JK,) a large she-camel: (JK, TA:) and اِبْنُ

↓ الخَلَّةِ signifies the same as اِبْنُ اللَّبُونِ (T in art. بنى) or اِبْنُ مَخَاضٍ [or ابن المَخَاضِ]. (TA in that art.) You say, أَتَاهُمْ بِقُرْصٍ كَأَنَّهُ فِرْسِنُ

↓ خَلَّةٍ, (S, TA,) or كَأَنَّهُ خُفُّ خَلَّةٍ, (JK,) [They brought them a round cake of bread as though it were the foot of a camel in its second, or third, year,] meaning small. (JK. [In the TA, meaning سَمِينَة (i. e. fat); but this seems to be a mistranscription.]) A5: A cautery. (TA.) خُلٌّ: see خَلِيلٌ, in two places.

b3: [And hence,] The gap that is left by a person who has died: (As, T, S, TA:) or the place, of a man, that is left vacant after his death. (K.) One says, of him who has lost a person by death, اَللّٰهُمَّ اخْلُفْ عَلَى أَهْلِهِ بِخَيْرٍ وَاسْدُدْ خَلَّتَهُ, i. e. [O God, supply to his family, with that which is good, the place of him whom they have lost,] and fill up the gap which he has left by his death. (As, T, S, * TA.) b4: And The interval, or inter-vening space, between the piercer, or thruster, and the pierced, or thrust: whence the saying, رَقَعَ خَلَّةَ الفَارِسِ, explained in art. رقع. (O and K and TA in that art.) b5: [Hence also,] Want, or a want: poverty; (S, Msb, K;) need, straitness, or difficulty. (Lh, K.) One says, بِهِ خَلَّةٌ شَدِيدَةٌ He has pressing, or severe, need or straitness or difficulty. (Lh, TA.) And سَدَّ اللّٰهُ خَلَّتَهُ May God supply his want. (TA.)

And رَمَّتِ الشَّاةُ مِنَ الأَرْضِ, and ↓ ارتمّت, The sheep, or goat, ate from the land. (S.) And رَمَّتِ البَهْمَةُ, (M,) or البَهِيمَةُ, (K,) inf. n. as above; (TA;) and ↓ ارتمّت; i. e. [The lamb, or kid, or the beast, or quadruped,] reached and took the branches (M, K) with its mouth. (K.) And كُلَّ رُمَامٍ ↓ هُوَ يَتَرَمَّمُ He eats every [kind of] رُمَام [q. v.]. (T.) and العَظْمَ ↓ ترمّم He ate off the flesh from the bone; syn. تَعَرَّقَهُ: or he left the bone like the رِمَّة [q. v.]: in [some of] the copies of the K, تَرَمَّمَ is erroneously explained by تَعَزَّقَ; [in my MS. copy, by تَعَرَّفَ; and in the CK, by تَفَرَّقَ;] the right reading being تَعَرَّقَ, as in the A. (TA.) and it is said in a trad., respecting the she-cat, وَلَا مِنْ خَشَاشِ الأَرْضِ ↓ أَرْسَلْتُهَا تُرَمْرِمُ, meaning [and I did not send her] for her to eat [of the creeping things of the earth]. (TA.) A3: رَمَّ العَظْمُ, aor. ـِ (T, S, M, Mgh, Msb, K,) inf. n. رَمٌّ (T, M,) or رِمَّةٌ, (S,) or both, (K, TA, [the former written in the CK رِمّ]) and رَمِيمٌ; (M, K;) and ↓ ارمّ; (M, K; [but see what follows;]) The bone became such as is termed رمَّة; (M, TA;) [i. e.,] became old and decayed; (MA, KL;) syn. بَلِىَ. (T, S, Mgh, Msb, K.) Accord. to IAar, one says, رَمَّتْ عِظَامُهُ, and ↓ أَرَمَّتْ, meaning His bones became old and decayed; syn. بَلِيَتْ: but others explain العَظْمُ ↓ ارمّ differently, as below: see 4. (T.) In the saying, mentioned in a trad., يَا

↓ رَسُولَ اللّٰهِ كَيْفَ تُعْرْضُ صَلَاتُنَا عَلَيْكَ وَقَدْ أَرَمْتَ, meaning بَلِيتَ [i. e. O Apostle of God, how shall our blessing be offered, or addressed, to thee when thou shalt have become decayed in the grave?], the last word is originally أَرْمَمْتَ; one of the two م s being rejected; like as is done in أَحَسْتَ, for أَحْسَسْتَ: (IAth, K, * TA: [in the CK, تَعْرَضُ is put in the place of تُعْرَضُ:]) accord. to one relation, it is أَرَمَّتَ; accord. to another, رَمَمْتَ; and accord. to another, أُرِمْتَ: but the first is the proper manner of relation. (TA.) And رَمَّ الحَبْلُ The rope became [old and worn out or rotten, (see رُمَّةٌ,) or] ragged, or dissundered. (M.) 2 رَمَّّ see 1, first sentence.4 ارمّ, said of a bone, It had in it, or contained, رِمّ, i. e. marrow, (T, S, K,) running therein. (S.) One says of a sheep or goat (S, M) that is lean, or emaciated, (S,) and of a she-camel, (M,) مَا يُرِمُّ مِنْهَا مَضْرِبٌ, (S, M,) meaning Not a bone of her that is broken and from which the marrow is [sought to be] extracted [contains any marrow]: (M:) i. e., if any of her bones be broken, no marrow will be found in it. (S.) And ارمّت is said of a she-camel in the first stage of fatness when becoming in good condition of body, and in the last stage thereof when becoming lean; (M, TA;) meaning She had in her somewhat of marrow. (TA.) b2: See also 1, in the latter part of the paragraph, in four places.

A2: Also, (T, S, M, K,) inf. n. إِرْمَامٌ, (T,) He (a man, T) was, or became, silent; (T, M, K;) in a general sense; or, as some say, from fear, or fright: (M:) [and in like manner a bird: see its part. n. مُرِمٌّ:] or they (a company of men) were, or became, silent. (S.) [See also R. Q. 2.]

A3: ارمّ

إِلَى اللَّهْو He inclined to diversion, sport, or play. (IAar, M, K.) b2: And ارمّ لِكَذَا He was cheered, or delighted, and pleased, or was diverted, by reason of such a thing; like أَرَنَّ لَهُ. (T in art. رن.) 5 ترمّمهُ He proceeded gradually, by degrees, step by step, or time after time, with the repairing of it; or with the putting it into a good, sound, right, or proper, state. (TA.) A2: See also 1, near the middle of the paragraph, in two places.8 إِرْتَمَ3َ see 1, in the middle portion of the paragraph, in four places. b2: ارتمّ is also said of a young camel as meaning He began to be in that state in which one could feel his hump. (K.) 10 استرمّ It (a wall, S, MA, Mgh, K, or a building, KL) needed, or required, its being repaired; (M, MA, K, KL; expl. in the M and K by دَعَا إِلَى إِصْلَاحِهِ;) having become old: (MA:) or attained to the time in which it should be repaired; (S, Mgh;) a long period having elapsed since it was plastered with mud. (S.) R. Q. 1 رَمْرَمَ: see 1, in two places. R. Q. 2 تَرَمْرَمَ He moved his lips, (T,) or his mouth, (S,) to speak: (T, S:) or تَرَمْرَمُوا they put themselves in motion to speak, but spake not: (M, K:) but it is said to be mostly used in negative phrases. (TA.) One says, مَا تَرَمْرَمَ فُلَانٌ بِحَرْفٍ Such a one uttered not [a letter, or a word]: (T, TA:) or put not himself in motion [therewith]. (IDrd, TA.) And كَلَّمَهُ فَمَا تَرَمْرَمَ [He spoke to him and] he returned not a reply. (M, TA.) رَمٌّ an inf. n. of 1 [q. v.]. (Lth, T, S, &c.) b2: One says, مَالِى مِنْهُ حَمٌّ وَلَا رَمٌّ There is not for me any avoiding it, or escaping it: (S:) or مَا لَهُ عَنْ ذٰلِكَ الأَمْرِ حَمٌّ وَلَا رَمٌّ (T, TA) There is not for him any avoiding, or escaping, that thing, or affair: (TA:) and some say ↓ حُمٌّ وَلَا رُمٌّ: (S:) so says Lth: (T:) [accord. to ISd,] in the saying ↓ مَا عَنْ ذٰلِكَ حُمٌّ وَلَا رُمٌّ, meaning There is no avoiding, or escaping, that, رُمٌّ is an imitative sequent; (M;) and so says Lth. (T. [But see the next paragraph.]) b3: See also another signification assigned to رَمٌّ in the last sentence but one of the next paragraph. b4: [And see the last sentence also of that paragraph.]

رُمٌّ: see 1, second sentence: b2: and see also the paragraph next preceding this, in two places. b3: Also i. q. بَيْتٍ ↓ مَرَمَّةُ, (ISk, T, S, M,) i. e. Household-goods; or the utensils and furniture of a house or tent. (M. [This explanation, from the M, I have found, in the TT, since I composed art. ثم; in which I have said that, accord. to analogy, مَرَمَّةُ البَيْتِ app. signifies the means by which a house, or tent, is put into a good state; and therefore good furniture and utensils.]) So in the saying, مَا لَهُ ثُمٌّ وَلَا رُمٌّ, (ISk, T, S, M,) and مَا يَمْلِكُ ثُمًّا وَلَا رُمًّا, (ISk, T, S,) i. e. He has not, and he possesses not, such household-goods as water-skins, or milk-skins, and vessels, (ISk, T, M,) nor any of the utensils and furniture of the house or tent. (ISk, * T, * M.) This explanation is better than the saying of Lth [that رُمٌّ is an imitative sequent: see the next preceding paragraph]. (T.) One says also, مَا لَهُ حُمٌّ وَلَا رُمٌّ, meaning He has not anything: (S:) or he has neither little nor much. (TA voce حَمٌّ [q. v.]) [See also ثُمٌّ.] b4: Also i. q. هَمٌّ [as meaning An object, or a thing intended or meant or determined upon or desired, in the mind: and perhaps also anxiety; or disquietude, or trouble, of mind]. (M, K. [This signification, هَمٌّ, Freytag has assigned to رَمٌّ, not to رُمٌّ; rendering it “ cura, sollicitudo; ” as from the K; in which the word bearing it is expressly said to be “ with damm. ”]) So in the saying, مَا لَهُ رُمٌّ غَيْرُ كَذَا [He has not any object in his mind except such a thing]. (M.) And so in the saying, مَا لَهُ حُمٌّ وَلَا رُمٌّ غَيْرُكَ and ↓ حَمٌّ وَلَا رَمٌّ [He has not any object in his mind except thee]. (TA in art. حم.) A2: Also A company of men: occurring in a trad. applied to a company of [the people called] أَكْرَاد, abiding [in a place] like a حَى [or tribe] of the Arabs of the desert: [perhaps correctly رَمٌّ, from the Pers\. رَمْ:] said by Aboo-Moosà to be app. a Pers\. word. (TA.) رِمٌّ The herbage and other things that are upon the land: whence the current saying, جَآءَ فُلَانٌ بِالطِّمِّ وَالرِّمِّ, meaning Such a one brought everything of what is on the land and in the sea: [or, of what is in the sea and on the land; for] الطِّمُّ means “ the sea; ” and is originally الطّمُّ, but is pronounced [in this case] الطِّمّ to assimilate it to الرِّمّ. (T.) [Or] i. q. ثَرًى [app. as meaning Good of any kind; and particularly wealth; as appears from what immediately follows]: one says, جَآءَهُ بِالطِّمِّ وَالرِّمّ, meaning He brought him much wealth. (S.) [Or] جَآءَ بِالطِّمِّ وَالرِّمِّ means He brought what was of the sea and what was of the land: (بِالبَحْرِىِّ وَالبَرِّىّ, K: [so in MS. copies and in the CK: in the copy of the K followed in the TA, and in like manner in the M, بالبحر والثرى, which, I think, is evidently a false reading:]) or moist and dry: or earth and water: (M, K:) or much wealth; (K;) as in the S: (TA:) and it is said in the copies of the K, [and in the M,] that الرِّمُّ signifies what is borne [on its surface] by the water; but this is a signification of الطِّمُّ; and الرِّمُّ signifies what is borne by the wind: (TA:) or what is upon the ground, of fragments of dry herbage. (M, K.) [See also art. طم.] b2: Also Marrow. (T, S, M, K.) رُمَّةٌ The remains of a rope after it has become ragged, or dissundered: (T:) or a piece of a rope (S, M, Msb, K) that is old and worn out or rotten; (S;) as also ↓ رِمَّةٌ: (M, K:) pl. [of mult.]

رُمَمٌ (T, S,) or رِمَمٌ (M, K,) and رِمَامٌ (S, M, K) and [of pauc.] أَرْمَامٌ: (M, K:) and they said also حَبْلٌ أَرْمَامٌ and رِمَمٌ [or رُمَمٌ] and رِمَامٌ; (M, K;) [like حَبْلٌ أَرْمَاثٌ and ثَوْبٌ أَخْلَاقٌ &c.;] thus using the pl. as though every part [of the rope] were termed a single thing. (M.) b2: Hence the saying, أَعْطَيْتُهُ الشَّىْءَ بِرُمَّتِهِ (assumed tropical:) I gave him the thing altogether: (T:) or دَفَعَ إِلَيْهِ الشَّىْءَ بِرُمَّتِهِ (assumed tropical:) He gave him the thing altogether: (S:) or أَخَذَهُ بِرُمَّتِهِ (assumed tropical:) He took it altogether: (M; and the like is said in the Msb:) and أَتَيْتُكَ بِالشَّىْءِ بِرُمّتِهِ (assumed tropical:) I brought thee, or have brought thee, the thing altogether: (M:) or أَعْطَاهُ بِرُمَّتِهِ (assumed tropical:) He gave it altogether: (K:) originally meaning the rope that is put upon the neck of the camel: (T:) [i. e.] originating from the fact that a man gave to another a camel with a rope upon his neck: (S, K:) or from the fact that a man sold a camel with a rope upon his neck; and it was said, Give him with his رُمَّة: (Msb:) or, as some say, from the bringing a captive bound with his رُمَّة; but this is not a valid assertion. (M.) In all the copies of the K, الرُّمَّةُ is also expl. as syn. with الجَبْهَةُ; but [SM says,] I have not found it in the originals from which it is derived; and may-be the right reading is الجُمْلَةُ. (TA.) 'Alee said, dispraising the present world, أَسْبَابُهَا رِمَامٌ, meaning (assumed tropical:) [Its ties (lit. ropes) are] old and worn out or rotten. (TA.) b3: ↓ أَرْمَامٌ [perhaps as pl. of رُمَّةٌ] also signifies (assumed tropical:) The last remains of herbage. (M, TA.) رِمَّةٌ Old and decayed bones: (AA, T, S, M, Msb, K:) or the old and decayed, of bones: (Mgh:) pl. رِمَمٌ and رِمَامٌ. (S, Msb.) The performance of the act termed الاِسْتِنْجَآء therewith is forbidden. (Mgh, TA.) [See also رَمِيمٌ.] b2: [and A bone in which is marrow. (Freytag, from the “ Kitáb el-Addád. ”)] b3: See also رُمَّةٌ, first sentence.

A2: Also A two-winged ant: (M, K:) so accord. to Aboo-Hátim; but disallowed by ElBekree. (TA.) b2: And The أَرَضَة [or woodfretter], (M, K,) in some one or more of the dialects. (M, TA.) رُمُمٌ Clever, ingenious, skilful, or intelligent, girls, or young women: (IAar, K:) app. pl. of ↓ رَامَّةٌ, [as it is said to be in the TK, whence Freytag (who has mentioned it as from the K, explaining it as an epithet applied to a girl meaning “ ingeniosa, prudens,”) appears to have taken it,] which signifies a female skilful in repairing. (TA.) رُمَامٌ: see رَمِيمٌ. b2: It is applied as an epithet to ثُمَام, in a saying of 'Omar, explained in art. ثم: accord. to some, it means that whereof the heads are grown, so that they are eaten (تُرَمُّ, i. e. تُؤْكَلُ): it is also applied to a herb, or leguminous plant, such that the cattle pluck it with their mouths, obtaining but little thereof: and to herbage that had dried up when becoming green. (T.) شِاْةٌ رَمُومٌ A sheep, or goat, that eats that by which it passes. (M, TA.) رَمِيمٌ A bone old and decayed: (S, M, Msb, K:) and ↓ رُمَامٌ signifies the same (K, TA) in an intensive sense: (TA:) or the former is like رِمَّةٌ; (A 'Obeyd, T, and Ksh in xxxvi. 78;) i. e. it is a subst., signifying the old and decayed, of bones; (Ksh and Bd ibid.;) not of the measure فَعِيلٌ in the sense of the measure فَاعِلٌ or مَفْعُولٌ: (Ksh ibid.:) or it is used in the sense of the measure مَفْعُولٌ, [meaning eroded,] from رَمَمْتُهُ [“ I ate it ”]: (Bd ibid.:) its pl. is in most instances أَرِمَّآءُ [when it is used as a subst. or as an epithet], like أَدِلَّآءُ pl. of دَلِيلٌ [or أَقْرِبَآء pl. of قَرِيبٌ]; and رِمَامٌ also occurs [when it is used as a subst., for رِمَّةٌ, of which رِمَامٌ is a pl., or when it is used as an epithet], like كِرَامٌ pl. of كَرِيمٌ: (Msb:) or you say أَعْظُمٌ رَمَائِمُ, and رَمِيمٌ also; or رَمِيمٌ may have the meaning of a gen. n., and therefore be used in the place of a pl. (M.) It is said in the Kur ubi suprà, مَنْ يُحْيِى الْعِظَامَ وَهِىَ رَمِيمٌ [Who will quicken the bones when they are old and decayed &c.?]; the last word being without ة because it is a subst., as expl. above, (Ksh, Bd, Jel,) not an epithet; (Ksh, Jel;) or because it is used in the sense of the measure مَفْعُولٌ, as stated above; (Bd;) or because words of the measures فَعِيلٌ and فَعُولٌ are sometimes used alike as masc. and fem. [and sing.] and pl., like صَدِيقٌ and رَسُولٌ and عَدُوٌّ. (S.) And Hátim, or some other, says, أَمَا وَالَّذِى لَا يَعْلَمُ السِّرَّ غَيْرُهُ وَيُحْيِى العِظَامَ البِيضَ وَهْىَ رَمِيمُ [Verily, or now surely, by Him beside whom none knoweth the secret, and who quickeneth the white bones when they are old and decayed &c.]; in which رميم may have the meaning of a gen. n., as observed above. (M.) b2: [Hence,] (assumed tropical:) Anything old and decayed or worn out. (M.) One says, أَحْيَى رَمِيمَ المَكَارِمِ (tropical:) [He revived what had become decayed of generous qualities or actions or practices]. (TA.) b3: And (assumed tropical:) The remains of the herbage of the next preceding year: (Lh, M:) from the same word in the sense first expl. above. (M.) A2: رَمِيمُ is one of the names of The east, or easterly, wind; الصَّبَا: and is also a proper name for a woman. (M.) رُمَامَةٌ A sufficiency of the means of subsistence, (K, TA,) whereby life becomes, or is held to be, in a good, or thriving, state. (TA.) رَمَّآءُ, applied to a ewe, White, (S, M,) without any colour upon her. (M.) رَمَّامٌ قَشَّاشٌ One who collects what has fallen of food, and the worst thereof, to eat it, not preserving himself from its uncleanness. (T, as heard by its author from the Arabs.) رُمَّانٌ is of the measure فُعْلَانٌ accord. to Sb: accord. to Abu-l-Hasan [i. e. Akh], of the measure فُعَّالٌ, (M, TA,) and is [therefore] mentioned in the S and K in art. رمن [q. v.]: (TA:) the n. un. is with ة. (M.) رَمْرَامٌ The حَشِيش [or herbs, or dry herbage,] of the [season called] رَبِيع: and also a certain species of trees, (S, M,) of sweet scent: n. un. with ة: (M:) or رَمْرَامَةٌ signifies a certain well-known sort of حَشِيش in the desert; and رَمْرَامٌ, much thereof: (T:) or this latter signifies a certain herb having prickly branches and leaves, that forbid the touch, rising to the height of a cubit; long in the leaves, broad, and intensely green, having a yellow flower, and eagerly desired by the cattle: (AHn, M:) or a certain dust-coloured plant, (Aboo-Ziyád, M, K,) which people use as a remedy for the sting of the scorpion. (Aboo-Ziyád, M.) رِامَّةٌ: see رُمُمٌ, of which it is thought to be the singular.

أَرْمَامٌ a pl. of رُمَّةٌ as signifying “ a piece of a rope: ” (M, K:) b2: and perhaps also in another sense: see the latter word, last sentence.

مُرِمٌّ Containing رِمّ, i. e. marrow; applied to a bone. (T.) And, [in like manner without ة,] applied to a she-camel, (S, M, K,) in the first stage of fatness when becoming in good condition of body, and in the last stage thereof when becoming lean, (M,) meaning Having in her somewhat of marrow. (S, M, * K. *) A2: Also Silent; (A 'Obeyd, T, S;) in a general sense; or, as some say, from fear, or fright; (TA;) applied to a man, (A 'Obeyd, T,) and to a bird, as in the saying of a rájiz, (S,) namely, Homeyd El-Arkat, (TA,).

مُرْخًى رِوَاقَاهُ هُجُودٌ سَامِرُهْ يَرِدْنَ وَاللَّيْلُ مُرمٌّ طَائِرُهُ [They come to the water when the bird of night is silent, when its curtains (lit. its two curtains) of darkness are let down, when the holders of discourse therein are sleeping]. (S, * TA.) A3: [The pl.] مُرِمَّاتٌ signifies Calamities, or misfortunes: (T, K:) so accord. to Az in the saying, رَمَاهُ بِالمُرِمَّاتِ [He smote him, or afflicted him, with calamiites, or misfortunes]: or, accord. to Aboo-Málik, it signifies المُسْكِتَات [i. e. silencing words or acts]. (T.) مَرَمَّةٌ [originally مَرْمَمَةٌ, a noun of the same class as مَجْنبَنَةٌ and مَبْخَلَةٌ &c., meaning A cause of repair: and hence, a thing needing repair; as in a phrase mentioned voce رَقِيعٌ]. b2: See also مَرَمَّةُ بَيْتِ, voce رُمٌّ. b3: And see what here follows.

مِرَمَّةٌ, (Th, T, S, M, TA,) accord. to the K, مَرِمَّةٌ, but this is a mistake, (TA,) The lip of any cloven-hoofed animal, (Th, T, S, M, K, TA,) such as the cow &c.; because it eats therewith; (S;) like مِقَمَّةٌ; (Th, T;) as also ↓ مَرَمَّةٌ [like مَقَمَّةٌ]. (S, M, K.) مَرْمُومٌ sing. of مَرَامِيمٌ, (TA,) which is [an epithet] applied to arrows, meaning Having the feathers repaired, or put into a good state. (K, TA.) b2: And (tropical:) An arrow [made even, or straight, by means of the eye; or] looked at until made even, or straight. (TA.) b3: You say also, أَمْرُ فُلَانٍ مَرْمُومٌ [i. e. The affair, or case, of such a one is rectified, or repaired]. (TA.)
