ركو

1 رَكَا (ISd, K,) [aor. ـْ inf. n. رَكْوٌ, (ISd, TA,) He dug, or excavated, (ISd, K, TA,) the ground, forming an oblong hollow. (ISd, TA.) b2: He made, formed, or fashioned, in a suitable manner, a small watering-trough such as is termed مَرْكُوّ, (Az, TA,) or a watering-trough [in an absolute sense]; as also ↓ اركى. (TA.) 4 أَرْكَوَ see what next precedes.

رَكْوَةٌ (S, Mgh, Msb, K, &c.) and رِكْوَةٌ and رُكْوَةٌ, (K,) all well known, but the first is the most chaste, (MF,) A certain thing for water: (S:) it is [a small drinking-vessel] like a تَوْر, of leather; (ISd, TA;) a small drinking-vessel of skin: (Nh, TA:) or a small دَلْو [or bucket, generally of leather], (Mgh, Msb,) well known: (Msb:) all of these explanations have been strangely neglected by the author of the K: (TA:) pl. رِكَآءٌ (S, Mgh, Msb) and رَكَوَاتٌ; (S,) Msb;) the latter allowable. (Msb.) The prov. (S) صَارَتِ القَوْسُ رَكْوَةً [lit. The bow became a ركوة, app. meaning the bow became exchanged for a vessel such as is called ركوة, but see what follows,] is applied in relation to the retiring of good fortune, and reverse in the state of affairs. (S, K.) b2: A small زَوْرَق [or skiff]. (ISd, K.) b3: A رُقْعَة [or piece of cloth, or rag,] beneath the عَوَاصِر, (K,) which means three stones [with which grapes are pressed so as to force out the juice,] placed one above another: so in the M. (TA.) [Hence, accord. to the TK, the prov. above mentioned: but I see not why.] b4: (assumed tropical:) The فَلْهَم of a woman; i. e. her فَرْج [or vulva]: so in the copies of the K: but in the T, her قُلْفَة [i. e. the prepuce of the clitoris], on the authority of IAar; as being likened to the ركوة of water: (TA:) the pl. [app. in all its senses] is رِكَآءٌ and رَكَوَاتٌ [as above], (K,) or in the last sense رُكًى. (TA.) رَكِىٌّ: see what next follows, in two places.

رَكِيَّةٌ A well: (S, Msb, K:) or a well containing water; (MA;) otherwise a well is not thus called: (Durrat el-Ghowwás, in De Sacy's Chrest. Ar. ii. 332:) or a well not made neat; or not constructed [or cased] with bricks [&c.]: (MA:) pl. رَكَايَا (S, Msb, K) and ↓ رَكِىٌّ, (S, and so in some copies of the K,) or the former is the pl. and ↓ the latter is [properly speaking] a gen. n., [i. e. a coll. gen. n.,] and often occurs as a sing. and as a pl., (Nh, TA,) or the pl. is also رُكِىٌّ: (so in some copies of the K and in the TA:) accord. to ISd, it is from رَكَا in the first of the senses assigned to this verb above. (TA.) مَرْكُوٌّ [pass. part. n. of 1: b2: and hence, as a subst.,] A large watering-trough or tank: (AA, T, S, K:) [in the S and K is added, وَالجُرْمُوزُ الصَّغِيرُ, which may mean either that the small watering-trough is called جرموز, and such is the case, or that مَرْكُوٌّ also signifies a small جرموز, agreeably with what here follows, and with an explanation of this word in the TA voce حَوِىٌّ:] Az, after mentioning AA's explanation given above, says, but what I have heard from the Arabs is, that the مركوّ is a small watering-trough or tank, which a man makes, or forms, or fashions, in a suitable manner, with his hands, at the head of the well, when he has not, and cannot procure, a vessel in which to give water to a camel or to two camels: and that which is large is not thus called. (TA.) [But see an ex. voce سَلْسٌ.]

ثد

ى1 ثَدِىَ, aor. ـَ It became moist or moistened. (T, K.) ثَدِيَتِ الأَرْضُ i. q. سَدِيَت [The land became moistened by much dew]: mentioned by Yaakoob, who asserts that the ث in the former is a substitute for the س in the latter; but is not known. (M.) A2: ثَدَاهُ, aor. ـُ (T, K) and ثَدِىَ, (T,) He moistened it. (T, K.) b2: And ثداهُ [so in the TT, as form the T, without. teshdeed,] He fed him, or nourished him: (T, TT:) [or the verb in this sense is ↓ ثدّاهُ, for its inf. n.] تَثْدِيَةٌ signifies the act of feeding, or nourishing. (K.) 2 ثَدَّىَ see 1.

ثَدْىٌ (T, S, M, Mgh, Msb, K, &c.) and ثِدْىٌ and ثَدًى: (K:) the first of these is the form most commonly obtaining: (TA:) [The breast, or mamma;] the part of the chest whereof the حَلَمَة is the head; each of the two parts whereof the حَلَمَتَانِ are the two heads: (Zj in his “ Khalk el-Insán: ”) [and sometimes, but not properly, the حَلَمَة alone; i. e., the pap, nipple, or mamilla:] you say ثَدْى مُقْعَدٌ a breast that is swelling, prominent, or protuberant, (S, A, L, K, in art. قعد,) that fills the hand, (A in that art.,) and has not yet become folding: (S, L, K, in that art.:) and رَضَعَ ثَدْىَ أُمِّهِ [he sucked the breast, meaning the pap, or nipple, of his mother]. (IKtt in TA, art. رضع:) it is peculiar to woman; (T, K;) or common to woman and man; (S, Msb, K;) being sometimes used in relation to a man; (Msb;) accord. to the opinion held to be most chaste and best known by the lexicologists [in general]: (TA:) and is masc.; (T, M, Mgh;) or masc. and fem.; (S, Msb, K;) but most chastely masc.: (TA;) the pl. [of pauc.] is أَثْدٍ, (S, M, Msb, K,] [originally أَثْدُىٌ,] of the measure أَفْعُلٌ, (Msb,) and [of mult.] ثُدِىٌّ, (S, M, Msb, K,) [originally ثُدُوىٌ,] of the measure فُعُولٌ, (S, Msb,) and ثِدِىٌّ, with kesr to the ث because of the kesr to the letter following, (S,) and sometimes ثِدَآءٌ, [originally ثِدَاىٌ,] like سِهَامٌ; (Msb;) and a poet says, وَأَصْبَحَتِ النِّسَآءُ مُسَلِّبَاتٍ

لَهُنَّ الوَيْلُ يَمْدُدْنَ الثُّدِينَا [And the women became widowed, or bereft of relations, and without their ornaments, or in mourning, having woe, pulling the breasts]; but this is something like a mistake; and it may be that he meant التُّدِيَّا, and changed the [latter]

ى into ن for the sake of the rhyme. (M.) It is said in a prov., تُجَوَّعُ الحُرَّةُ وَلَا تَأْكُلُ ثَدْيَيْهَا, meaning, أُجْرَةَ ثَدْيَيْهَا, [i. e. The ingenuous woman will be made to hunger and will not eat the hire of her breasts,] the prefixed noun being suppressed; or, as some relate it, بِثَدْيَيْهَا, which is plain [as meaning, by means of her breasts]: it is applied in relation to a man's preserving himself from ignoble means of acquiring wealth. (Mgh.) And جُدَّ ثَدْىُ أُمِّهِ, May his mother's breast be cut off, is a form of imprecation against a man, and used to imply a wish for his separation. (As, L in art. جد.) The saying of 'Alee, on the day of his slaughter of the Khawárij, اُنْظُرُوا فَإِنَّ فِيِهمْ رَجُلًا إِحْدَى يَدَيْهِ مِثْلُ ثَدْىِ المَرْأَةِ [Look ye, for among them is a man one of whose arms is like the breast of the woman], not احدى ثَدْيَيْهِ as some relate it, was applied to a man who had, in the place of one arm, a lump of flesh upon his shoulder-joint, which lump, when it was stretched, became equal in length to his other arm, and when it was left, returned [to its original form]. (Mgh.) Respecting ↓ ثُدَيَّةٌ, the dim., whence the surname ذَو الثُّدَيَّةِ, he who holds ثَدْىٌ to be masc. [only] says that the ة is added because the word [virtually] means اليَد, [which is fem.,] for the man thus surnamed had a short arm, of the size of the ثَدْى, as is indicated by the fact that they also called him ذُو اليُدَيَّةِ: (S:) or, accord. to Fr, (A'Obeyd, T,) ة is added, in this instance, in the dim., though ثَدْىٌ is masc., because it applies to what resembled the remains (بَقِيَّة) of a ثَدْى, the greater part of it having gone, so that it is like لُحَمْيَةٌ and شُحَيْمَةٌ [dims. of لَحْمَةٌ and شَحْمَةٌ]: (T, M:) or the ة is added because the word is regarded in this case as meaning البَضْعَةُ [the piece, or lump, of flesh]: (Mgh:) some say that it is the dim. of ثَنْدُوَةٌ; (Mgh, TA;) but this requires consideration. (Mgh.) ثُدَيَّةٌ: see ثَدْىٌ. b2: Also A repository, or receptacle, (AA, K,) of the size of the fist, (AA,) in which the horseman carries the [sinews called]

عَقَب [of which the bow-string is made, and which are bound round a bow, and round an arrow, to repair a fracture in it, (see عَقَبٌ and عَقَبَ,)] and the feathers [which he may require to attach to any of his arrows]. (AA, K.) ثُدَّآءٌ A certain plant [growing] in the desert. (S.) ثَدْيَآءُ A woman large in the ثَدْيَانِ [or breasts]: أَثْدَى, the masc. form, is not used. (S, M.) ثَنْدُوَةٌ, [written by some ثُنْدُوَةٌ, as well as ثَنْدُؤَةٌ and ثَنْدُؤَةٌ,] mentioned here in the S, and in art. ثدأ: see the latter art.

افك

1 أَفَكَهُ, aor. ـِ inf. n. أَفْكٌ, (with fet-h, S, TA, its only form, TA, [in the CK اِفْك,]) He changed his, or its, manner of being, or state; (S, K;) and he turned him, or it, (i. e., anything, Msb,) away, or back; (S, Msb, K;) عَنِ الشَّىْءِ [from the thing]; (S;) or عَنْ وَجْهِهِ [from his, or its, mode, or manner, of being, &c.]: (Msb:) so in the Kur xlvi. 21, أَجِئْتَنَا لِتَأْفِكَنَا عَنْ آلِهَتِنَا Hast thou come to us to turn us away, or back, from our gods? (Bd:) or he turned him away, or back, by lying: (TA:) or he changed, or perverted, his judgment, or opinion: (K:) or he deceived him, or beguiled him, and so turned him away, or back: and simply he deceived him, or beguiled him: and أُفِكَ signifies he was turned from his judgment, or opinion, by deceit, or guile. (TA.) It is said in the Kur [li. 9], يُؤْفَكُ عَنْهُ مَنْ

أُفِكَ, i. e., He will be turned away from it (namely, the truth,) who is turned away in the foreknowledge of God: (TA:) or, accord. to Mujáhid, يُؤْفَنُ عَنْهُ مَنْ أُفِنَ [he will be weak in intellect and judgment so as to be thereby turned away from it who is weak in intellect and judgment]. (S, TA.) You say also, أُفِكَ الرَّجُلُ عَنِ الخَيْرِ The man was turned away, or back, from good, or prosperity. (Sh.) And أَفَكَهُ, (K, TA,) inf. n. as above, (TA,) He forbade him what he wished, (K, TA,) and turned him away, or back, from it. (TA.) b2: أَفَكَ, aor. ـِ (Msb, K;) and أَفِكَ, aor. ـَ (IAar, K;) inf. n. إِفْكٌ (Msb, K) and أَفْكٌ and أَفَكٌ and أُفُوكٌ; (K;) He lied; uttered a falsehood; said what was untrue; (Msb, K;) as also ↓ أفّك, (K,) inf. n. تَأْفِيكٌ: (TA:) because a lie is a saying that is turned from its proper way, or mode. (Bd in xxiv. 11.) b3: أَفَكَ النَّاسَ, aor. ـِ inf. n. أَفْكٌ, He told the people what was false; أَفَكَ and أَفَكْتُهُ being like كَذَبَ and كَذَبْتُهُ. (Az, TA.) b4: أَفَكَ فُلَانًا, (K,) inf. n. أَفْكٌ; (TA;) or the verb is ↓ آفَكَ; (so in the printed edition of Bd, xlvi. 27;) He, or it, made such a one to lie, or say what was untrue. (K.) b5: أُفِكَ He was weak [as though perverted] in his intellect and judgment or opinion. (K,* TA.) But أَفَكَهُ اللّٰهُ as meaning God rendered weak his intellect is not used. (L, TA.) b6: (tropical:) It (a place) was not rained upon, and had no vegetation, or herbage. (K, TA.) 2 اَفَّكَ see 1.4 آفَكَ see 1.8 ائْتَفَكَتِ البَلْدَةُ [written with the disjunctive alif اِيتَفَكَت], (S, K,) بِأَهْلِهَا, (S,) The land, or district, or the town, or the like, was, or became, overturned, or subverted, (S, K,) with its inhabitants: (S:) as were the towns of the people of Lot. (TA.) b2: Hence it is said of El-Basrah, قَدِ ائْتَفَكَتْ بِأَهْلِهَا مَرَّتَيْنِ, meaning (tropical:) It has been submerged with its inhabitants twice; as though subverted. (Sh.) b3: You say also, اِيتَفَكَتْ تِلْكَ الأَرْضُ (tropical:) That land has been burnt up by drought. (IAar.) إِفْكٌ [an inf. n. used as a subst.;] A lie; a falsehood; (S, TA;) as also ↓ أَفِيكَةٌ: pl. (of the latter, K) أَفَائِكُ. (S, K.) You say, ↓ يَا لَلْأَفِيكَةِ, and ↓ يَا لِلْأَفِيكَةِ; [and ↓ لَلْأَفَيِّكَةِ, using the dim. form for the purpose of enhancement; i. e. O the lie! and O the great lie!] the ل with fet-h denoting calling to aid; and with kesr denoting wonder, as though the meaning were, O man, wonder thou at this great lie. (TA.) افكة [so in the TA, without any syll. signs; app. either أَفْكَةٌ, an inf. n. of un., or ↓ آفِكَةٌ, like دَاهِيَةٌ;] A punishment sent by God, whereby the dwellings of a people are overturned: occurring in a trad. relating to the story of the people of Lot. (TA.) سَنَةٌ أَفِكَةٌ (tropical:) A year of drought or sterility: (K, TA:) pl. أَوَافِكُ [contr. to rule, as though the sing. were ↓ آفِكَةٌ]. (Z, TA.) أَفُوكٌ: see أَفَّاكٌ.

أُفَيِّكَةٌ: see إِفْكٌ, in three places. b2: Also A severe, or distressing, calamity. (Ibn-Abbád.) أُفَيِّكَةٌ: see إِفْكٌ.

أَفَّاكٌ A great, or habitual, liar; (S, Msb, K;) as also ↓ أَفُوكُ, (Msb, K,) and ↓ أَفِيكٌ: (K:) fem. of the first [and last] with ة: but the second is both masc. and fem.: (Msb:) the pl. of the second is افك with damm [i. e. أُفْكٌ, accord. to the rule of the K, but the TA seems to indicate that it is أُفُكٌ, by likening it to the pl. of صَبُورٌ]. (K.) آفِكَةٌ: see افكة: b2: and see سَنَةٌ أَفِكةٌ.

أَفِيكٌ [Changed in his, or its, manner of being, or state: turned away, or back, from a thing: &c.]: see مَأْفُونٌ. b2: Weak [as though perverted] in his intellect (Az, S, K) and judgment or opinion; as also ة: (Az, S:) accord. to A'Obeyd, (or AA, as in one copy of the S,) a man who does not attain, or obtain, good, or prosperity. (S.) b3: Also, (K,) fem. with مَأْفُونٌ, (S, K,) (tropical:) A place, (K,) or land, (أَرْضٌ, S, Z,) not rained upon, and having no vegetation, or herbage.

(S, K.) b2: The former also signifies The winds that turn over [the surface of] the earth, or ground: (K:) or the winds that blow from different quarters: it is said (by the Arabs, S) that when these winds blow much, the earth (i. e. its seed-produce, TA) thrives, or yields increase. (S, K, TA.)
