1 بَاهَــهَا, (JK, K,) [aor. ـُ inf. n. بَوْهٌ, (TA,) He lay with her; syn. جَامَعَهَا; (K;) like بَاكَهَا. (JK.) A2: بَاهَ لَهُ, aor. ـُ (JK, K,) inf. n. بَوْهٌ; (K;) as also بَاهَ لَهُ, aor. ـَ (JK,* K,) inf. n. بَيْهٌ; (K;) His attention became roused to it; (K;) he knew it, or understood it; or knew, or had knowledge, of it; was cognizant of it: (JK, TA:) like بَأَهَ, and أَبَهَ or أَبِهَ. (TA.) And مَا بُهْتُ لَهُ; as also مَا بِهْتُ لَهُ; I did not know it, or understand it; or did not know,or had not knowledge, of it; was not cognizant of it: (JK, S,-K:) the inf. n. of the former is بَوْهٌ; and that of the latter, بَيْهٌ. (TA.) بَاهٌ a dial. var. of بَآءَةٌ (IAar, S) and of بَآءٌ, (IAar, TA,) signifying Coitus: (S K:*) and marriage: (K, * TA:) as also ↓ بَاهَــةٌ: (TA:) or a share of coitus; (JK, TA;) occurring in this sense in a trad., in which a woman is mentioned as having adorned herself for it: (TA:) also venereal passion: (TA in art. خفش:) [or the venereal faculty; as when one says of a drug or some other thing, يَزِيدُ فِى الــبَاهِ It increases the venereal faculty:] IKt says, of this word, بَاهٌ, [though it is of very frequent occurrence,] that it is a mistranscription [app. meaning for بَآءٌ]. (Msb and TA in art. بوأ.) [See also بَآءَةٌ.]

بَاهَــةٌ: see بَاءٌ.

A2: Also The court of a house; or a spacious part, or portion, of a house, in which is no building; (JK, K, TA;) where people alight, or lodge: (JK:) a dial. var. of بَاحَةٌ. (TA.) بَاهِــىٌّ That strengthens the venereal [faculty or] appetite. (TA in art. جزر, &c.)

بهت

1 بُهِتَ, (S, Msb, K, &c.,) the most chaste form of the verb in the sense here following, (S, TA,) and that which most commonly obtains, and the only form allowed by Th and IKt; (TA;) and بَهِتَ, (S, L, Msb, K,) aor. ـَ (Msb, K;) and بَهُتَ, (S, L, Msb, K,) in which the dammeh is said to give intensiveness to the signification, as in قَضُوَ الرَّجُلُ, (TA,) aor. ـُ (Msb, K;) and بَهَتَ, aor. ـُ (K) and بَهَتَ; (TA;) inf. n. بَهْتٌ; (JK, K;) He was, or became, confounded, perplexed, or amazed, and unable to see his right course; (JK, S, Msb, K;) not knowing what to prefer nor what to postpone: (TA in art. اشر:) he looked at a thing that he saw with a look of wonder: (A, TA:) he was, or became, affected with wonder: (JK:) he was, or became, cut short, (انْقَطَعَ, K, TA,) and was silent, being confounded, or perplexed, and unable to see his right course: (TA:) he (an adversary in a dispute or litigation) was overcome by an argument, an allegation, or a plea. (L.) All these forms occur in different readings of the saying in the Kur [ii. 260], فَبُهِتَ الَّذِى كَفَرَ and فَبَهِتَ &c., (IJ, TA,) explained in the Wá'ee as meaning, And he who disbelieved remained in confusion, or perplexity, not seeing his right course, looking as one in wonder: (Lb, TA:) but accord. to him who reads فَبَهَتَ, the word الذى may hold the place of a noun in the accus. case [as will be seen from what follows]. (IJ, TA.) A2: بَهَتَهُ, aor. ـَ (S, Msb,) inf. n. بَهْتٌ, (S, K,) He, or it, caused him to become confounded, perplexed, or amazed, not seeing his right course: (Zj, Msb: [Golius, on the authority of Ibn-Maaroof, assigns this meaning to ↓ بهّتهُ:]) or took him unawares, or by surprise, or unexpectedly, or suddenly. (S, K.) Zj cites as an ex. of the former meaning the saying in the Kur [xxi. 41], تَأْتِيهِمْ بَغْتَةً فَتَبْهَتُهُمْ, i. e., It shall come upon them suddenly, or unawares, and cause them to become confounded, &c.: (TA: and so Bd and Jel explain it:) or, and shall overcome them: (Bd:) J cites the same as an ex. of the latter of the two meanings in the preceding sentence; but his doing so requires consideration; for the meaning which he gives is taken from the word بغتة; not from البَهْتُ. (MF, TA.) [But it is said also that] مُــبَاهَــتَةٌ [inf. n. of ↓ باهــتهُ] signifies The taking, or coming upon, [one] unawares, by surprise, or unexpectedly. (JK.) b2: بَهَتَهُ, aor. ـَ (S, A, K, &c.,) inf. n. بَهْتٌ and بَهَتٌ and بُهْتَانٌ, (S, K,) or the last is a simple subst., (Msb,) He calumniated him; slandered him; accused him falsely; said against him that which he had not done: (S, A, K:) [or he did so in such a manner as to make one to be confounded, or perplexed, or amazed, at the falsity of the charge, and not to see his right course: (see بُهْتَانٌ, below:)] he lied against him; forged a lie, or lies, against him; and i. q. قَابَلَهُ بِالكَذِبِ [he accused him to his face falsely, or with falsehood]; (TA;) البَهْتُ signifies اِسْتِقْبَالُكَ أَخَاكَ بِمَا لَيْسَ فِيهِ [thy accusing thy brother, or fellow, to his face, of that which is not in him]: (JK:) and بَهَتَهَا, aor. ـَ inf. n. بَهْتٌ, he accused her falsely of adultery; and forged a lie against her. (Msb.) [See also اِغْتَابَهُ.] In the saying of Abu-n-Nejm, سُبِّى الحَمَاةَ وَابْهَتِى عَلَيْهَا [Revile thou the mother-in-law, and calumniate her, or forge lies against her], على is [said by J to be] redundant, or pleonastic; for one does not say, بَعَتَ عَلَيْهِ, but only بَهَتَهُ. (S.) Upon this, F says, in the K, that فَابْهَتِى عليها [thus in the K] is a mistake; that J is in error, and that the right reading is فَانْهَتِى عليها, with ن: but this assertion made by F depends upon the authority of relaters of the verse in which the word in question occurs. (MF.) IB says that ابهتى may be here rendered trans. by means of على because it is syn. with اِفْتَرِى, which is so rendered trans., in like manner as is done in other instances, of which he gives an ex. from the Kur [xxiv. 63], يُخَالِفُونَ عَنْ أَمْرِهِ, meaning يَخْرُجُونَ عن امره: he adds that, accord. to J, عن in this ex. should be considered redundant; but that عن and على are not used redundantly like ب. (TA.) b3: بَهَتَ الفَحْلَ عَنِ النَّاقَةِ He removed the stallion from the she-camel in order that a stallion of more generous race might cover her. (TA.) 2 بَهَّتَ see 1.3 باهــتهُ, inf. n. مُــبَاهَــتَةٌ: see 1. b2: [Also He engaged with him in mutual calumny, slander, or false accusation: a meaning indicated, but not expressed, in the A.] You say, بَيْنَهُمَا مُــبَاهَــتَةٌ [Between them two is mutual calumniation, &c.]: and عَادَتُهُ أَنْ يُبَاحِثَ وَيُــبَاهِــتَ [His custom is to engage with another in mutual scrutiny of secrets, or faults, or the like, and in mutual calumniation, &c.]: and وَلَا تَمَاقَتُوا ↓ لَا تَــبَاهَــتُوا [Calumniate ye not one another, &c., nor hate ye one another on account of any foul, or evil, affair]. (A.) b3: And He confounded, perplexed, or amazed, him (namely, his hearer,) by what he forged against him. (TA.) 6 تَــبَاْهَــتَ see 3.

بَهْتٌ: see بُهْتَانٌ.

A2: A certain well-known kind of stone. (K.) بُهْتٌ: see بُهْتَانٌ, in two places.

A2: A certain sidereal computation, or calculation; being [that of] the direct course of stars in a day: [in Persian, a planet's motion in any given time: (Johnson's Pers\. Arab. and Engl. Dict.:)] thought by Az to be not Arabic. (TA.) بُهْتَانٌ and ↓ بَهِيتَةٌ signify the same [when the former is used as a subst.; i. e. A calumny, slander, or false accusation]: (S, A, Msb: [see 1:]) or both signify, the former as explained by Aboo-Is-hák, and the latter as explained in the K, a falsehood by reason of which one is confounded, or perplexed, and unable to see his right course; (TA; [in which it seems to be indicated that ↓ بُهْتٌ signifies the same;]) from البَهْتُ as meaning “ the being confounded ” &c.: (Aboo-Is-hák, TA:) the former is a subst. signifying [also] a false accusation of adultery against a woman; and a forgery of a lie against her: (Msb:) and ↓ the latter, [and the former also, simply,] a lying, or lie, or falsehood; (K;) and so ↓ بُهْتٌ (K) and ↓ بَهْتٌ. (TA.) بُهْتَانًا وَإِثْمًا مُبِينًا, in the Kur iv. 24, is said to mean Falsely accusing of adultery, and acting in a manifestly sinful or criminal manner: (Bd:) or it means acting wrongfully &c. (Bd, Jel.) You say, ↓ رَمَاهُ بِالبَهِيتَةِ [He accused him with, or of, calumny, &c.]. (A.) And ↓ يَا للْبَهِيتَةِ, with kesr to the [prep.] ل, [i. e., O, come to my aid, or succour, on account of the calumny! &c.; for it is] a phrase used in calling for aid, or succour. (S.) [And if you would express wonder, you say, ↓ يَا َللْبَهِيتَةِ, with fet-h to the prep. ل, i. e. O the calumny! &c.]

بَهُوتٌ [A great, or frequent, calumniator, slanderer, or false-accuser; as also ↓ بَهَّاتٌ, mentioned in the S only as an epithet applied to him who calumniates, slanders, or accusely falsely;] an intensive epithet from البَهْتُ; (IAth;) [i. e.] an intensive form of the act. part. n. from البُهْتَان [inf. n. of بَهَتَهُ]: (Mgh:) or i. q. ↓ مُــبَاهِــتٌ; (K;) i. e., one who confounds, or perplexes, or amazes, the hearer, by what he forges against him: (TA:) and one who falsely accuses a woman of adultery, and forges a lie against her: (Msb:) pl. بُهُتٌ (IAth, Mgh, Msb, K) and بُهْتٌ, and, accord. to the K, also بُهُوتٌ; but ISd and MF hold it to be pl. of بَاهِــتٌ, not of بَهُوتٌ; the former observing, that a word of the measure فَاعِلٌ is one of those which have a pl. of the measure فُعُولٌ, but not so one of the measure فَعُولٌ; and that, as to the saying of A'Obeyd, that عُذُوبٌ is pl. of عَذُوبٌ, it is a mistake; for it is only pl. of عَاذِبٌ, and the pl. of عَذُوبٌ is عُذُبٌ. (TA. [But see art. عذب.]) بَهِيتٌ, see مَبْهُوتٌ, in two places.

بَهِيتَةٌ: see بُهْتَانٌ, in five places.

بَهَّاتٌ: see بَهُوتٌ: A2: and see مَبْهُوتٌ.

بَاهِــتٌ: see مَبْهُوتٌ, in two places.

A2: Also act. part. n. [of بَهَتَهُ; signifying Causing to become confounded, &c.: and calumniating, &c.:] from البُهْتَانُ: (Mgh:) بُهُوتٌ, as mentioned above, is held by ISd and MF to be a pl. of this word; not of بَهُوتٌ, q. v. (TA.) مَبْهُوتٌ Confounded, perplexed, or amazed, and unable to see his right course: (S, K:) [other (similar) meanings may be seen from explanations of بُهِتَ:] accord. to Ks and the S and Sgh and the K, one should not say ↓ بَاهِــتٌ nor ↓ بَهِيتٌ; but there is no reason in analogy why he who says بَهَتَ, like نَصَرَ and مَنَعَ, should not say thus: (TA:) Lb says, in the Expos. of the Fs, that they said ↓ بَاهِــتٌ and ↓ بَهَّاتٌ [which latter is an intensive form] and ↓ بَهِيتٌ, which [last] may be considered as having the meaning of the measure مَفْعُولٌ, like مَبْهُوتٌ, or that of the measure فَاعِلٌ, like بَاهِــتٌ; but the former is the more agreeable with analogy, and the more probable. (MF, TA) b2: Also Calumniated, slandered, or falsely accused. (S.) مُــبَاهِــتٌ: see بَهُوتٌ.

زب

ى1 زَــبَاهُ, aor. ـْ (S, K,) inf. n. زَبْىٌ, (S,) i. q. حَمَلَهُ [He bore it, carried it, took it up and carried it, conveyed it, &c.]; (S, K;) namely, a thing; (S;) as also ↓ اِزْدَــبَاهُ; thus accord. to the T and S and M; (TA; [accord. to one of my copies of the S, i. q. احتملهُ, which is often syn. with حَمَلَهُ];) or ↓ أَزْــبَاهُ; thus in the copies of the K: (TA:) or the first and ↓ last signify he bore upon his back a heavy burden: (JM:) and hence the saying of Kaab, بِذٰلِكَ ↓ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ كَلِمَةً أُزْبِيهِ (JM, TA) i. e. [(assumed tropical:) And I said to him a saying,] disquieting, or disturbing, him, (JM, TA, *) [by reason of that:] because, when a thing is borne, or carried, it is removed from its place. (JM.) b2: Also, (K,) aor. and inf. n. as above, (TA,) He drove, urged, or incited, him; (K, TA;) and so ↓ زبّاهُ, (K,) inf. n. تَزْبِيَةٌ; (TA;) and ↓ ازدباه. (K.) [And i. q. دَعَاهُ.] You say, مَا زَــبَاهُــمْ إِلَى هٰذَا, i. e. مَا دَعَاهُمْ إِلَيْهِ [What drew, led, induced, caused, constrained, or drove, them to this? or What hath led, &c.?]. (JM, TA.) And ↓ زَبَّى

لَهُ شَرًّا, inf. n. تَزْبِيَةٌ, i. e. دَعَاهُ [He drew, or caused, evil to him]. (TA.) And لَهُ ↓ زَبَّيْتُ, inf. n. تَزْبِيَةٌ, I prepared [app. evil] for him. (TA.) And زَــبَاهُ بِشَرٍّ, (K, TA,) or بِمَكْرُوهٍ, (TA,) He smote him with evil. (K, TA.) 2 زبّى, inf. n. تَزْبِيَةٌ, accord. to the K, He spread flesh-meat upon a زُبْيَة as meaning a hill, or an elevated piece of ground, which the water did not overflow: but accord. to ISd, he threw flesh-meat into a زُبْيَة as meaning a hollow dug in the ground, in which one roasts, or broils, for himself, and bakes bread. (TA.) b2: See also 5. b3: And see 1, in three places.4 أَزْبَىَ see 1, in three places.5 تزبّى زُبْيَةً He made a pitfall for a lion (S, Mgh, K) or a wolf; (Mgh;) as also ↓ زبّاه, inf. n. تَزْبِيَةٌ. (K.) A rájiz says, وَلَا تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ اللَّذْ كِيدَا كَاللَّذْ تَزَبَّى زُبْيَةً فَاصْطِيدَا [And by no means be thou of those who have been beguiled; like him who has made a pitfall for a lion or a wolf, and then has himself been trapped]. (S, * Mgh.) b2: And تزبّى فِى الزُّبْيَةِ, accord. to ISd, signifies the same as تَزبَّاهَــا [app. in a sense different from that expl. above; meaning He concealed himself from the objects of the chase in the hollow made for that purpose: or he fell into the زُبْيَة, like تَرَدَّى فِى الزُّبْيَةِ]. (TA.) 6 تزابى He walked with a stretching of himself, or with an elegant and a proud and selfconceited gait, and with slowness. (T, K, TA.) b2: And He magnified himself; or behaved proudly, haughtily, or insolently; (K, TA;) and disdainfully. (TA.) 8 اِزْدَــبَاهُ: see 1, in two places.

زُبْيَةٌ A hill, or an elevated piece of ground, which the water does not overflow: (S, K:) pl. رُبًى. (S, TA.) Hence, (TA,) it is said in a prov., بَلَغَ السَّيْلُ الزُّبَى [The torrent reached the tops of the hills which they do not usually overflow]: (S, TA:) or الزُّبَى is here pl. of الزُّبْيَةُ in the sense next following: [but the meaning is virtually the same:] (Meyd:) the prov. is applied to a thing, or an affair, or a case, exceeding the ordinary bounds or limit. (Meyd, TA.) b2: A pitfall for a lion (S, Mgh, Msb, K) or a wolf (Mgh) &c., (Msb,) dug in a high place, (S, Mgh, Msb,) for which reason it is thus called: (S:) pl. as above. (Msb.) b3: A hollow dug in the ground, in which a sportsman conceals himself [from the objects of the chase]. (TA.) b4: A hollow dug in the ground, in which one roasts, or broils, for himself, and bakes bread.

بهل

1 بَهَلَ النَّاقَةَ, [aor. ـَ inf. n. بَهْلٌ,] He left the she-camel without a صِرَار [bound upon her udder to prevent her being sucked]; (Bd in iii. 54;) as also ↓ ابلها: (S:) or he left her to be milked; or allowed her being milked: (Z, TA:) and ↓ the latter, he loosed her صِرَار, and left her young one at liberty to such her; (K;) and he left her to herself (K, TA) to be milked by any one who pleased.

And بَهَلَ اللّٰهُ فُلَانًا May God curse such a one! (K, TA.) A2: بَهِلَتْ, aor. ـَ inf. n. بَهَلٌ, She (a camel) had her صِرَار loosed, and her young one left to suck her.

(JK.) Hence the saying of Ibn-Mes'ood, مَنْ شَآءَ بَاهَــلْتُهُ أَنَّ سُورَةَ القُصْرَى نَزَلَتْ بَعْدَ البَقَرَةِ [Whosoever will, I will contend with him by imprecating the curse of God upon whichever of us is wrong, that the shorter chapter of “Women” came down from heaven after the chapter of “The Cow”]: or, accord. to one recital, he said لَا عَنْتُهُ: for when they differed respecting a thing, they used to come together, and say, اللّٰهِ عَلَى ↓ بَهْلَةُ الظَّالِمِ مِنَّا [The curse of God be upon such of us as is the wrongdoer!].

Yousay, عَلَيْهِ بَهْلَةُ اللّٰهِ and ↓ بُهْلَتُهُ The curse of God be on him! (S.) For another ex., see 3.

[Avicenna] in the Kánoon; and he adds that it is of two species, small and great, both brought from the country of the رُوم: one species of the tree thereof has leaves like those of the سَرْو [or common, evergreen, cypress], has many thorns, and grows, or spreads, wide, (يَسْتَعْرِضُ,) not growing tall: the leaves of the other are like those of the طَرْفَآء [or tamarisk], the taste thereof is like [that of] the سَرْو, and it is drier, and less hot: (TA:) or it is the produce of a kind of great tree, the leaves of which are like [those of] the طرفاء, and the fruit of which is like the نَبِق [or fruit of the lote-tree called سِدْر]; and it is not [the fruit of] the عرعر, as J imagined it to be: the smoke thereof expels quickly the young in the womb: used as a liniment, with vinegar, it cures what is termed دَآء الثَّعْلَب [alopecia]: and with honey, it cleanses foul ulcers. (K.) [In the present day, it is applied to the juniper-tree; as is also عَرْعَر; and particularly to the species thereof called the savin. See قَطِرَانٌ.]

1 أَبَوْتُ, [third Pers\. أَبَا,] (T, S, M, K,) and أَبَيْتُ, [third Pers\. أَبَى,] (T, M, K,) the latter accord. to Yz, (T,) aor. ـو (TK,) inf. n. أُبُوَّةٌ, (Yz, T, S, Msb,) or this is a simple subst., (M,) I became a father. (T, * S, * M, K.) b2: أَبَوْتُهُ, (ISk, T, M, K,) aor. ـو (IAar, ISk, T,) inf. n. إِبَاوَةٌ, (M, K,) I was, (IAar, ISk, T,) or became, (M, K,) a father to him. (IAar, ISk, T, M, K.) b3: [Hence, I fed him, or nourished him; and reared him, or brought him up.] You say, فُلَانٌ يَأْبُو هٰذَا اليَتِيمَ, inf. n. إِبَاوَةٌ, Such a one feeds, or nourishes, this orphan, like as the father does his children. (Lth, T.) And مَالَهُ أَبٌ يَأْبُوهُ (ISk, T, S) He has not a father to feed him, or nourish him, and to rear him, or bring him up. (S.) 2 أَبَّيْتُهُ, inf. n. تَأْبِيَةٌ, I said to him بِأَبِى [meaning فُدِيَتِ بِأَبِى Mayest thou be ransomed with my father! or the like: see أَبٌ, below]. (K, TA. [In the CK, erroneously, يا اَبِى.]) 5 تأبّاهُ He adopted him as a father; (M, K, TA;) as also ↓ استأباهُ; (M in art. اب;) and so تأبّاهُ أَبًا, accord. to A'Obeyd: (TA:) [or,] accord. to A'Obeyd, you say, تَأَبَّيْتُ أَبًا I adopted a father: (T:) and you say also, اِسْتَأَبَّ أَبًا and اِسْتَأْبَبَ أَبًا he adopted a father. (TA.) 10 إِسْتَاْبَوَ see 5.

أَبٌ is originally أَبَوٌ, (S, Msb, K,) as is shown by the first of its dual forms and of its pl. forms mentioned below; (S, Msb;) and signifies A father [in the ordinary sense: and also as meaning (assumed tropical:) an ancestor]: (M:) as also ↓ أَبًا, a dial. var., (M, K,) the same in the nom. and accus. and gen. cases, like قَفًا: (M:) and أَبٌّ is a dial. var. of the same, [the second letter being doubled to compensate for the و suppressed, as is the case in أَخٌّ, (TA voce أَخٌ)] but is rare. (Msb.) Accord. to the dial. commonly obtaining, when you use it as a prefixed noun, you decline it with the letters و and ا and ى, saying, هٰذَاأَبُوهُ [This is his father], (Msb,) and أَبُوكَ [thy father]; (M;) and رَأَيْتُ أَــبَاهُ [I saw his father]; and مَرَرْتُ بِأَبِيهِ [I passed by his father]: (Msb:) but accord. to one dial., you say, هٰذَا أَــبَاهُ, (Msb:) and أَبَاكَ; (M;) and رَأَيْتُ أَــبَاهُ; and مَرَرْتُ بِأَــبَاهُ: (Msb:) and accord. to one dial., which is the rarest of all, it is defective in every case, like يَدٌ and دَمٌ; (Msb;) and [thus] you say, هٰذَا أَبُوكَ [&c.]. (M.) The dual is أَبَوَانِ, (S, M, Msb,) meaning [two fathers, and] father and mother; and some say أَبَانِ: (S, M:) you say, هُمَاأَبَوَاهُ, meaning They two are his father and mother; and in poetry you may say, هُمَا أَــبَاهُ; and in like manner, رَأَيْتُ أَبَيْهِ [I saw his father and mother], (T,) and أَبَيْكَ [thy father and mother]; (S;) but the usual, or chaste, form is رَأَيْتُ أَبَوَيْهِ. (T.) The pl. is آبَآءٌ, (T, S, M, Msb, K,) the best form, (T,) and أَبُونَ, (T, S, M, K,) and أُبُوٌّ (M, K, [in the CK الاَبْوٌ is erroneously put for الأُبُوٌّ,]) and أُبُوَّةٌ, (Lh, T, S, M, K, *) like عُمُومَةٌ and خُؤُولَةٌ: (T, S:) you say, هٰؤُلَآءِ أَبُوكُمْ, meaning آبَاؤُكُمْ [These are your fathers]; (T;) and hence, in the Kur [ii. 127], accord. to one reading, وَإِلٰهَ أَبِيكَ إِبرٰهِيمَ وَإِسْمٰعِيلَ وَإِسْحٰقَ [and the God of thy fathers, Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac], meaning the pl. of أبٌ, i. e. أَبِينَكَ, of which the ن is suppressed because the noun is prefixed [to the pronoun]; (S;) and some of the Arabs say, أَبُوَّتُنَا أَكْرَمُ الآبَآءِ [Our fathers are the most generous of fathers]. (T.) The dim. is ↓ أُبَّىٌّ; originally أُبَيْوٌ, with the final radical letter restored. (Msb.) b2: مَا يَدْرِى لَهُ مِنْ أَبٍ, and مَا أَبٌ, mean-ing He knows not who is his father, and what is his father, are sayings mentioned by Lh on the authority of Ks. (M.) b3: لَا أَبَا لِكَ, (T, S, M, K, &c.,) [accord. to the dial. of him who says أَبًا instead of أَبٌ,] as also لَا أَبَ لَكَ, and لَا أَبَاكَ, (S, K,) [the last, accord. to J, because the ل (meaning the ل in لك in the preceding phrases) is as though it were redundant, but he seems not to have known the dial. var. أَبًا, and I rather think that لَا أَبَاكَ, is for لَا أَبْقَى اللّٰهُ أَبَاكَ, or the like,] and لَا أَبَكَ, (Mbr, Sgh, K,) and لَابَ لَكَ, (K,) which is for لَا أَبَ لَكَ, (M,) means Thou art, in my estimation, one deserving of its being said to him, Mayest thou have no father! it is used in the manner of a proverb, is of frequent occurrence in poetry, (M,) is said to him who has a father and to him who has not a father, and is an imprecation as to the meaning, of necessity, though enunciative as to the letter; (M, K;) and hence the saying of Jereer, يَا تَيْمُ تَيْمَ عَدِىٍّ لَا أَبَا لَكُمْ [O Teym, Teym of 'Ades, may ye have no father!]; which is the strongest evidence of its being a proverb, and not having a literal meaning; for all of [the tribe of] Teym could not have one father, but all of them were fit objects of imprecation and rough speech: (M:) it is an expression of praise: (S:) [i. e.] it is an imprecation against him to whom it is addressed, not, however, said with the desire of its having effect, but on an occasion of intense love, like لَا أُمَّ لَكَ, &c.: (Har p. 165:) and sometimes in dispraise, like لَا أُمَّ لَكَ: and in wonder, like لِلّهِ دَرُّكَ: (TA:) or, as A Heyth says, on the authority of Aboo-Sa'eed Ed-Dareer, it expresses the utmost degree of reviling; [meaning Thou hast no known father;] and لَا أُمَّ لَكَ expresses reviling also, but means Thou hast no free, or ingenuous, mother: (Meyd in Har p. 165: [see أُمَّ:]) sometimes it means Strive, or exert thyself, in thine affair; for he who has a father relies upon him in some circumstances of his case: (TA:) accord. to Kh, it means Thou hast none to stand thee in stead of thyself: (ISh, TA:) Fr says that it is a phrase used by the Arabs [parenthetically, i.e.,] to divide their speech: (TA:) [thus, for instance,] Zufar Ibn-El-Hárith says, أَرِينِى سِلَاحِى لَا أَبَا لَكَ إِنَّنِى أَرَى الحَرْبَ لَا تَزْدَادُ إِلَّا تَمَادِيَا [Show thou me my weapons: (mayest thou have no father! or thou hast no father: &c.:) verily I see the war, or battle, increases not save in perseverance]. (TA.) [Aboo-'Alee, as cited in the M, observes that the ا (meaning the final ا) in أَبَا, in the phrase لَا أَبَا لَكَ, indicates that it is a prefixed noun, and determinate; whereas the ل in لك together with the government exercised upon the noun by لا indicates that it is, on the contrary, indeterminate, and separate from what follows it: but it seems that he was unacquainted with the dial. var. أَبَّا; for لَا أَبَا لَكَ in the dial. of him who uses the form أَبَّا instead of أَبٌ is the same grammatically as لَا أَبَ لَكَ in the dial. of him who uses the form أَبٌ.] Suleymán Ibn-'Abd-El-Melik heard an Arab of the desert, in a year of drought, say, أَنْزِلْ عَلَيْنَا الغَيْثَ لَا أَبَا لَكَ, and Suleymán put the best construction upon it, [as though it meant, Send down upon us rain: Thou hast no father], and said, I testify that He hath no father nor female companion nor offspring. (TA.) They say also, in paying honour [to a person], لَا أَبَ لِشَانِئِكَ, and لَا أَبَ لِشَانِئِكَ, (TA,) i. e. May thy hater have no father! or, accord. to ISk, each is a metonymical expression for لَا أَبَا لَكَ. (S in art. شنأ, q. v.) b4: One also says, on the occasion of an occurrence that is approved and commended, by way of expressing wonder and praise, لَلِّهِ أَبُوكَ, meaning To God, purely, is attributable [the excellence of] thy father, seeing that he begat thee a generous son, and produced the like of thee! (TA;) [or to God be attributed (the excellence of) thy father!] it means that to God [alone] belongs the power to create the like of this man [to whom it relates], from whom has proceeded this wonderful action. (Har p. 44.) b5: and هِىَ بِنْتُ أَبِيهَا, meaning She resembles her father in strength of mind, or spirit, and sharpness of disposition, and in hastening, or striving to be first, to do things: said of Hafsah, by 'Áïsheh. (TA.) b6: بِأَبِى, (TA,) or بِأَبِى أَنْتَ, (T in art. بأ,) [said to a person,] means [فُدِيتَ بِأَبِى Mayest thou be ransomed with my father! (see the next sentence but one;) or] أَفْدِيكَ بِأَبِى [I will ransom thee with my father]; (T ubi suprà;) or أَنْتَ مَفْدِىٌّ بِأَبِى Thou art, or shalt be, ransomed with my father]; or فَدَيُتُكَ بِأَبِى [I have in my heart ransomed thee, or I would ransom thee, with my father]; the ب being dependent upon a word suppressed, which, accord. to some, is a [pass. participial] noun, and accord. to others, a verb; and this word is suppressed because of the frequent usage of the phrase. (TA.) You say also, بِأَبِى أَنْتَ وَ أُمِّى [With my father mayest thou be ransomed, and with my mother!]. (TA.) and بِأَبِى مَنْ وَدَدتُّهُ, i. e. فُدِىَ بِأَبِى مَنْ وَدَدتُّهُ [May he whom I love be ransomed with my father!], meaning may he [my father] be made a ransom for him [whom I love]! (El-Wáhidee on the Deewán of El-Mutanebbee, in De Sacy's Chrest. Arabe, sec. ed. vol. iii. p. 35 of the Arabic text.) Sometimes they change the ى into ا: a poet says, وَقَدْ زَعَمُوا أَنِّى جَزِعْتُ عَلَيْهِمَا وَهَلْ جَزَعٌ أَنْ قُلْتُ وَا بِأَبَا هُمَا [And they have asserted that I have become impatient on account of them two: but is it an evidence of impatience that I said, Alas, with my father may they two be ransomed?]; meaning وَا بِأَبِى هُمَا. (S.) And some of the Arabs used to say, وَا بِأَبَا أَنْتَ [Alas, with my father mayest thou be ransomed!]: this, says AM, being like يَا وَيْلَتَا for يَا وَيْلَتِى; as also يَا بَيْبَا, with the hemzeh changed into ى, originally يَا بِأَبَا, meaning يَابِأَبِى: and hence what is related, in a trad., of Umm-'Ateeyeh; that she used not to mention the Prophet without saying, بِيَبَا [for بِأَبِ هُوَ]. (TA in art. بأ.) A woman said, يَا بِأَبِى أَنْتَ وَ يَا فَوْقَ البِيَبْ [O thou to whom I would say, With my father mayest thou be ransomed! and O thou who art above him to whom I would address the saying, With my father mayest thou be ransomed!]; respecting which Fr observes that the two words [بِ and أَب] are made as one [by prefixing the article] because of their frequent occurrence; (S;) and Aboo-'Alee says that the ى in بِيَب is substituted for ء, not necessarily; but ISk quotes the words as commencing with يَا بِيَبَا, which is the right reading, in order that this expression may agree with البِئَبْ, which is derived from it: EtTebreezee, however, relates Abu-l-'Alà's reciting the words as ending with البِئَبْ; saying that this is compounded from the phrase بِأَبِي, and that therefore the ء is preserved. (TA.) [See also the first paragraph in art. بأ.] b7: You say also, يَا أَبَتِ [meaning O my father], (S, M, K,) as in يَا أَبَتِ افْعَلْ [O my father, do thou such a thing]; (S;) and يَا أَبَتَ; (S, M, K;) and يَاأَبَتُ; (Z in the Ksh xii. 4;) and يَا أَبَهْ (S, M, K) when you pause after it. (S, M.) The ة, [here written ت,] (Kh, M,) the sign of the fem. gender, (S, Z,) is substituted for the [pronominal] affix ى, (Kh, S, M, Z,) as in يَاأُمَّتِ; (S;) and is like the ة in عَمَةٌ and خَالَةٌ, as is shown by your saying, in pausing, يَا أَبَهٌ, like as you say, يَا خَالَةٌ: (Kh, M:) the annexing of the fem. ت to a masc. noun in this case is allowable, like as it is in حَمَامَةٌ ذَكَرٌ and شَاةٌ ذَكَرٌ and رَجُلٌ رَبْعَةٌ and غَلَامٌ يَفَعَةٌ: its being made a substitute for the affix ى is allowable because each of these is an augmentative added at the end of a noun: and the kesreh is the same that is in the phrase يَا أَبِى: (Z ubi suprà:) the ت does not fall from اب in the phrase يَا أَبَتِ when there is no pause after it, though it [sometimes] does from أُمّ in the like phrase in that case, because the former word, being of [only] two letters, is as though it were defective. (S.) يَا أَبَتَ is for يَا أَبَتَا, (Aboo-'Othmán El-Mázinee, S, * M, [the latter expression mentioned also in the K, but not as being the original of the former,]) the ا [and ه] being suppressed; (the same Aboo-'Othmán and M;) or for يَا أَبَتَا, the ا being suppressed, like as the ى is in يَا غُلَامِ; or it may be after the manner of يَاأَبِىَ. (Z ubi suprà.) يَا أَبَتُ is thus pronounced after the usual manner of a noun ending with the fem. ة, without regard to the fact that the ت is in the former a substitute for the suffix ى. (Z ubi suprà.) يَا أَبَهْ is said in a case of pause, except in the Kur-án, in which, in this case, you say, يَا أَبَهْ, following the written text; and some of the Arabs pronounce the fem. ة, in a case of pause, ت [in other instances], thus saying, يَا طَلْحَتُ. (S.) يَا أَــبَاهُ is also said; (M, K;) though scarcely ever. (M.) A poet uses the expression يَا أَبَاتَ, for يَا أَبَتَاهْ: (S, M:) IB says that this is used only by poetic license, in a case of necessity in verse. (TA.) b8: أَبٌ is tropically applied to signify (tropical:) A grandfather, or any ancestor. (Msb.) b9: It is also applied to signify (assumed tropical:) A paternal uncle; as in the Kur ii. 127, quoted before. (M.) b10: [It is also (like أُمّ and اِبْن and بِنْت) prefixed to nouns of various significations. Most of the compounds thus formed will be found explained in the arts. to which belong the nouns that occupy the second place. The following are among the more common, and are therefore here mentioned, as exs. of different kinds.] b11: أَبُو المَرْأَةِ (assumed tropical:) The woman's husband: (Ibn-Habeeb, M:) it is said in the TS that الأَبُ, in certain of the dials., signifies the husband: MF deems this meaning strange. (TA.) أَبُو المَثْوَى (assumed tropical:) The master of the dwelling, or of the place of abode: (TA:) and (assumed tropical:) the guest. (K in art. ثوى.) أَبُو الأَضْيَافِ (assumed tropical:) The very hospitable man. (TA.) b12: أَبُو الحَارِثِ (assumed tropical:) The lion. (TA.) أَبُو جَعْدَةَ (assumed tropical:) The wolf. (TA.) أَبُو الحُصَيْنِ (assumed tropical:) The fox. (TA.) b13: أَبُو جَابِر (assumed tropical:) Bread. (S and K in art. جبر.) b14: أَبُو مَالِكٍ (assumed tropical:) Extreme old age: (TA:) and (assumed tropical:) hunger. (MF in art. جبر.) أَبَّا: seeأَبٌ.

حبو

1 حَبَا, (Msb, K,) [aor. ـْ inf. n. حُبُوٌّ, (K,) He, or it (a thing, Msb, TA), was, or became, or drew, near. (Msb, K.) And hence, (TA,) حَبَوْتُ لِلْخَمْسِينَ I was, or became, or drew, near to fifty [years]; (S, ISd, TA;) [as also حبوت الخَمْسِينَ; for] IAar says that حَــبَاهَــا and حَبَا لَهَا both have this signification. (TA.) b2: حَبَتِ الأَضْلَاعُ إِلَى الصُّلْبِ The ribs joined to the backbone; (K;) and in like manner, with the same meaning, one says of the entrails: and the ribs were near to the backbone. (TA.) and حَبَتِ الشَّرَاسِيفُ, (K,) inf. n. as above, (TA,) i. e. [The extremities of the ribs, projecting over the belly,] were long, so that they were near one another. (K.) And حَبَا المَسِيلُ The water-course, or channel of a torrent, became [contracted,] so that one part thereof was near to another. (K.) A2: حَبَا, (S, Mgh, Msb, K,) aor. ـْ (Mgh, Msb,) inf. n. حَبْوٌ, said of a child, (S, Mgh, Msb, K,) before he stands; (Lth, TA;) as also حَبَى, aor. ـْ inf. n. حَبْىٌ, which, however, is rare; (Msb;) He crept, or crawled, [or dragged himself along,] upon his posteriors; (Mgh;) or so حبا عَلَى اسْتِهِ: (S:) or he went along upon his posteriors, protruding his chest: (K:) or went along on four [or, as we say, on all fours]: in this last sense it is used by the lawyers. (Mgh.) And, said of a man, He went along upon his hands, or arms, and his belly: (K:) or upon his hands, or arms, and his knees: or upon his posteriors: or upon his elbows and knees: (TA:) [or he crept, or crawled: for] you say, مَا جَآءَ إِلَّا حَبْوًا, meaning He came not save creeping, or crawling: and مَانَجَافُلَانٌ إِلَّا حَبْوًا [Such a one escaped not save creeping, or crawling]. (TA.) Also, said of a camel having his fore shank bound up to his arm, He crept, or crawled, along: [or he dragged himself along on the ground:] and, said of a camel, he lay down, and crept, or crawled, [or dragged himself along,] by reason of fatigue: or, as some say, being constrained to ascend a difficult tract of sand, he protruded his chest, and then crept, or crawled. (TA.) b2: [Hence,] said of an arrow, It glided along the ground, and then hit the butt: (S:) or so حبا إِلَى الغَرَضِ. (Msb.) b3: And حبا المَالُ, (K,) inf. n. حَبْوٌ, (TA,) The cattle clave to the ground, motionless, by reason of emaciation. (K.) b4: And حَبَتِ السَّفِينَةُ, (K,) inf. n. حَبْوٌ, (TA,) The ship ran. (K.) A3: حَبَا لَهُ It (a thing) presented itself, or its breadth, or width, or its side, to him, or it; syn. اِعْتَرَضَ, (K,) or عَرَضَ; (Mgh;) as do, for instance, waves to a ship; (TA;) and as clouds, like a mountain, before they cover the sky. (S.) and حبا الرَّمْلُ, aor. ـْ inf. n. حَبْوٌ, The sands rose up, extending sideways (مُعْتَرِضًا): (TA:) or extended widely. (IAar, TA.) A4: حَــبَاهُ, (S, Msb, K,) aor. as above, (TA,) inf. n. حَبْوٌ (TA) and حَبْوَةٌ, (S, TA,) or this is a simple subst, (K,) and the inf. n. is حِبَآءٌ, (Msb,) or this last also is a simple subst., (S, * K,) He gave him (S, Msb, K) a thing (Msb) without any compensation (Msb, K) and without [receiving] any favour, or benefit: or in a general sense. (K. [See also حِبَآءٌ below.]) You say, حَــبَاهُ كَذَا and بِكَذَا He (God, or a man,) gave him such a thing without [receiving] any favour, or benefit, and without requital. (Ham pp. 327 and 654.) b2: And also, (K,) aor. as above, inf. n. حِبَآءٌ, (TA,) He denied him, refused him, or refused to give him; (K, TA;) on the authority of IAar only. (TA.) Thus the verb bears two contr. significations. (K.) b3: حبا مَا حَوْلَهُ He defended, protected, or guarded, what was around him; (As, S, K;) as also ↓ حــبّاهُ, inf. n. تَحْبِيَةٌ. (S, K.) J cites as an ex. of the former verb, from a poem of Ibn-Ahmar, the phrase لَمْ يَحْبُهَا فَحْلٌ [as though meaning A stallion did not defend them]; referring to she-camels: but accord. to AHn, it means did not regard them; being occupied with himself. (TA.) b4: You say also, فُلَانٌ يَحْبُو قَصَاهُمْ and يَحُوطُ قَصَاهُمْ [Such a one fights in their defence; or defends them in a distant quarter: but generally meant ironically: see 1 in art. حوط]: both signify the same. (Abu-l-'Abbás, TA.) 2 حَبَّوَ see 1.3 حاباهُ, (Msb, K,) inf. n. مُحَابَاةٌ (Msb, K, KL) and حِبَآءٌ, (K,) He vied, or contended, with him in giving. (KL.) b2: He aided him, or assisted him: he treated him, or behaved towards him, with partiality; was partial towards him: and inclined towards him: (K:) he treated him in an easy and a gentle manner. (Msb.) b3: حاباهُ فِى البَيْعِ, (S, MA,) inf. n. مُحَابَاةٌ, (S, Mgh, KL,) He abated the price, or payment, to him in selling: (MA, KL, PS:) or he treated him in an easy and a gentle manner therein: (TK:) from حِبَآءٌ signifying “ a gift. ” (Mgh.) 4 رَمَى فَأَحْبَى He shot, and made his arrow to fall short of the butt (IAar, K) and then to leap so as to hit the butt. (IAar, TA.) 5 تَحَبَّوَ see what next follows.8 احتبى He drew together and confined his back and his shanks (S, Mgh, Msb, and Har p. 179) with his رِدَآء, (S,) or with a garment, or piece of cloth, or with some other thing, (Mgh, Msb, and Har ubi suprà,) when sitting, to be like him who is leaning [his back against a wall]: (Har ubi suprà:) he drew his legs against his belly with a garment, or piece of cloth, confining them therewith, together with his back, and binding it, or making it tight, upon them, so as to preserve him from falling, [when he sat,] like a wall: (IAth, TA:) and ↓ تحبّى signifies the same: (TA:) or احتبى بِالثَّوْبِ he inwrapped himself with the garment: or he drew together and confined his back and his shanks with a turban or the like: (K:) for the Arabs not having walls in their deserts to lean against in their assembling, the man used to set up his knees in his sitting, and put against them a sword, or surround them [and his back] with a piece of cloth, or knit his hands, or arms, together upon them, and rest against them; this standing him in stead of leaning. (Har ubi suprà.) The doing this in one garment is forbidden, in a trad., lest, by accident, what decency requires to be concealed should become exposed. (IAth, TA.) You say also, احتبى بِيَدَيْهِ [He confined his legs against his belly with his hands, or arms, in sitting, to support himself by so doing]. (S, Msb. *) [See also قُرْفُصَآءُ.] الاِحْتِبَآءُ with the sword is practised on the occasions of making a covenant for mutual protection, or war, or appointing a chief, and the like; because the sword may be wanted in these cases.

(Yaakoob, S, TA.)

(Har p. 179. The former phrase is also mentioned in the S.) And the saying, الحُبَى حِيطَانُ العَرَبِ [The things used for the purpose of اِحْتِبَآء are the walls of the Arabs: see 8]. (TA.) And the saying, in a trad. of ElAhnaf (when he was asked in a time of war, “ When is forbearance? ”), ↓ عِنْدِ الحُبَآءِ [On the occasion of اِحْتِبَآء]; meaning that forbearance is to be approved in peace, not in war.

An arrow such as is termed حَابٍ, though weak, having hit the butt, is better than one that goes beyond the butt by its vehemence of passage, and its force, not having hit it: meaning, by the two arrows, one who attains the truth, or right, or a part thereof, though weak; and another who goes beyond it, and far from it, though strong. (TA.)
