(Lb. T.) b2: نَسَبَهُ, aor. ـُ inf. n. نَسْبٌ, He traced up his [i. e. another's] lineage to his greatest ancestor. (TA.) b3: نَسَبَهُ, [aor. ـُ He asked him to mention, or tell him, his relationship, [lineage, or genealogy]. (K.) b4: إِلَيْهِ ↓ جَلَسْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَنَسَبَنِى قَانْتَسَبْتُ (tropical:) [I sat by him, and he asked me to tell him my lineage; so I mentioned my lineage to him]. (A.) b5: لَهَا ↓ نَسَبَتْنَا فَانْتَسَبْنَا [She asked us to tell her our lineage; so we mentioned our lineage to her].

كَذَا, (see S and K, in art. جهل, &c.) (tropical:) He attributed or imputed to him, or charged him with, or accused him of, such a thing; namely, a fault &c. Both phrases are often used as signifying thus by classical writers, and in the present day.] b14: نَسَبَ بِالْمَرْأَةِ, (S, K,) aor. ـِ (S,) and نَسُبَ, (L,) inf. n. نَسِيبٌ (S, K) and نَسَبٌ and مَنْسَبَةٌ, (K,) i. q. شَبَّبَ بِهَا; q. v.; (S, K;) He mentioned the woman in an amatory manner, in the beginning [or prelude] of a poem: (TA, voce شبّب:) he mentioned the woman in amatory language, in the beginning of a قَصِيدَة, and then turned to the object of praise: [for it is a general rule to commence a قصيدة in praise of a king, or hero, or the like, with نسيب; the transition from this is termed التَّخَلُّصُ: see also اِقْتَضَبَ:] (IKh:) he mentioned the woman in his poem, describing her as characterized by beauty and youth &c.: (Lb:) or describing her as characterized by good qualities, whether truly or falsely. (Z.) This phrase and نَسَبَ الرَّجُلَ both signify description; the latter signifying “ he described the man with relation to his father, or his city or country, or the like; ” and the former phrase, he described the woman as characterized by beauty and youth and love or affection &c. (IDrst.) نَسِيبٌ is also employed to signify the describing of the places where the objects of love have taken up their abode in the season of the رَبِيع and at other times, and the lover's longing to meet them and be united with them, and what else is comprised in the signification of the words تَشْبِيبٌ and غَزَلٌ.

Hence the proverb, القَرِيبُ مَنْ تَقَرَّبَ لَا مَنْ تَنَسَّبَ: (S, K:) i. e. He is [indeed] an ally who allies himself by affection and friendship: not he who asserts himself to be a kinsman. (TA.) 6 تناسبوا (tropical:) They were mutually, or reciprocally, related; resembled one another; were similar, conformable, analogous, correspondent, or suitable, one to another; befitted one another. (TA.)

(TA, art. غنث.) 10 استنسب (K) and ↓ انتسب (TA) He mentioned his [i. e. his own] relationship, [lineage, or genealogy]. (K.) One says to a man, in asking him respecting his relationship, &c., إِسْتَنْسِبْ لَنَا أَىْ إِنْتَسِبْ لَنَا حَتَّى نَعْرِفَكَ [Mention thy relationship, or lineage, to us, that we may know thee]. (Az.) Q. Q. 1 نَيْسَبَ بَيْنَهُمَا, inf. n. نَيْسَبَةٌ, He went to and fro between them two with malicious and mischievous misrepresentations, calumnies, or slanders, &c. (L, K.) نَسْبٌ: see نَسَبٌ.

نَسَبٌ and ↓ نِسْبَهٌ and ↓ نُسْيَةٌ (S, K) Relationship; relation; kindred; consanguinity; [family; race; lineage; parentage; pedigree; genealogy; origin; reputed relationship or lineage or origin;] (K;) with respect to father and mother; (ISk;) or with respect to fathers only: (K:) pl. of the first, أَنْسَابٌ; (S;) of the ↓ second, نِسَبٌ; and of the ↓ third, نُسَبٌ. (Msb.) The first, by poetical license, is contracted into ↓ نَسْبٌ. (T.) [You say,] بَيْنَهُمَا نَسَبٌ Between them is relationship; said whether they may lawfully marry one another, or not. (Msb.) See نَسِيبٌ.

نِسْبَةٌ (tropical:) Relation; proportion; comparison; with respect to quantity, or measure, and the like.

A more general name of this kind should precede a more particular one: thus you say القُرَشِىُّ الهَاشِمِىُّ: and it is better that a name of relation to a tribe should precede one of relation to a town or the like: thus you say القُرَشِىُّ المَكِّىُّ. It is said that the Arabs originally called themselves by such names only in relation to tribes; and that, when they took up their abodes in cultivated lands and in cities, they borrowed names of relation to towns and the like from the Persians and Copts.

(TA.) ↓ نَسَبٌ, also, is used for ذُو نَسَبٍ [A relation, or kinsman]; and means a male, or female, relation; (Jel, xxv. 56;) and for ذَوُو نَسَبٍ [relations, or kinsmen]. (Bd, ibid.) [See also صِهْرٌ.] b3: نَسِيبٌ and ↓ مَنْسُوبٌ A man of rank, or quality, or the like, and of family, or lineage. (TA.) b4: ↓ نَسِيبٌ نَاسبٌ [An elegant amatory mentioning of a woman, or of women, in the beginning of a poem] is a phrase like شَعْرٌ شَاعِرٌ. (K.) See أَنْسَبُ.

نَسَّابٌ (K) and ↓ نَسَّابَةٌ (S, K.) Skilful in genealogy: (K:) [or rather, the former signifies very skilful in genealogies; or a great genealogist:] the latter, possessing the utmost knowledge in genealogies; or a most skilful genealogist: [this being of a doubly intensive form;] the ة being annexed to render the epithet one of excessive praise: (S:) pl. of the former نَسَّابُونَ, and of the latter نَسَّابَاتٌ: (TA:) you say عِنْدِى ثَلَاثَةُ نسّاباتٍ, meaning ثلاثة رِجَالٍ نسّاباتٍ.

Dukeyn Ibn-Rejà says, عَيْنًا تَرَى النَّاسَ إِلَيْهَا نَيْسَبَا [A source to which thou seest the people (repairing like) ants proceeding in uninterrupted succession]. (S.) b3: Also, the track of ants, (ISd, K,) and of a serpent, and of wild asses going to their watering-places. (TA.) نَيْسَبَانٌ: see نَيْسَبٌ.

هٰذَا الشِّعْرُ أَنْسَبُ This poetry is more, or most. elegant in what is termed نَسِيب. see 2: (K:) as though they had said نَسِيبٌ نَاسِبٌ, like شِعْرٌ شَاعِرٌ, to give intensiveness to the signification, and thence formed the word أَنْسَبُ. (TA.) خَطٌّ مَنْسُوبٌ [A] regular [hand-writing]: syn. ذُو قَاعِدَةٍ: (TA:) [properly, named in relation to its author &c.] b2: شِعْرٌ مَنْسُوبٌ Poetry, or a poem, in which is نَسِيب, [or an amatory mention of a woman, or women, in its beginning]: pl. مَنَاسِيبُ.

(K, TA.) b4: نَقَحَ العَظْمَ, aor. ـَ (K,) inf. n. نَقْحٌ; (TA;) and ↓ نقّحهُ, (inf. n. تَنْقِيحٌ, S;) and ↓ انتقحهُ; (S, K;) He extracted the marrow from the bone: (S, K:) or نقّحه has an intensive signification. (Msb.) b2: نَقَحَ شَيْئًا He separated what was good from what was bad of the thing. (Msb.) 2 نقّح الشِّعْرَ, inf. n. تَنْقِيحٌ; (S, K;) and ↓ انقحهُ, inf. n. إِنْقَاحٌ; (K;) (tropical:) He trimmed, pruned, or put into a right or proper state, poetry, or verses. (S, K.) b2: نقّح الكَلَامَ (tropical:) He scrutinized the language, and examined it well: or he put it to rights, or trimmed it, and removed its faults, or defects. (TA.) b3: See 1.4 أَنْقَحَ see 1 and 2.5 تنقّح شَحْمُهُ, (K,) or شَحْمُ النَّاقَةِ, (S,) or شَحْمُ نَاقَتِهِ, (TA, &c.,) (tropical:) His fat, (K,) or the fat of the she-camel, (S,) or the fat of his she-camel, (TA, &c.,) became little in quantity, or diminished, (S, K, &c.,) or partially went away. (A.) 8 إِنْتَقَحَ see 1.

خَيْرُ الشِّعْرِ الحَوْلِىُّ المُنَقَّحُ (tropical:) [The best of poetry is that which is a year old, and trimmed, or pruned]. (S.)

نكح

1 نَكَحَ, (S, K, &c.,) aor. ـِ (Msb, K,) and نَكَحَ, (K,) the latter agreeable with analogy, but by some rejected, and the former contr. to analogy, but more common, and the form used in the Kur, (TA,) the only instance of an aor. of this form from a verb having ح for its last radical letter, except ينطح and يمنح and ينضح and ينبح and يرجح and يأنح and يأزح and يملح, (ISd,) [and يضح] inf. n. نِكَاحٌ (S, K, &c.) and نَكْحٌ; (ISd, K;) Inivit feminam: and (sometimes, S) he married, took in marriage, or contracted a marriage with, a woman: as also ↓ استنكح (S, K, &c.) [and ↓ ناكح, inf. n. مُنَاكَحَةٌ:] used only with reference to a man: (ISd:) but Th uses it with reference to flies: (TA:) J says, that it is sometimes used in the latter sense; but accord. to the Msb it is more commonly so used; (MF;) and it is used only in this sense in the Kur: (TA:) IF and others say, that it signifies coitus; and coitus without marriage; and marriage without coitus: (Msb:) [but] in the Time of Ignorance, when a man demanded a woman in marriage he said, اِنْكِحِينِى; and when he desired fornication, he said, سَافِحِينِى. (TA, in art سفح.) It is disputed whether it be proper or tropical in these two senses; or proper in one, and tropical in one: (MF:) it is said to be from نَكَحَهُ الدَّوَى, or from تَنَاكَحَتِ الأَشْجَارُ, or from نَكَحَ المَطَرُ الأَرْضَ; and if so, it is tropical in both the above senses; and the opinion that it is so is confirmed by this, that the signification of marriage is not understood unless by a word or phrase in connexion with it, as when you say نَكَحَ فِى بَنِى

فُلَانٍ [he took a wife from among the sons of such a one]; nor is that of coitus unless by the same means, as when you say نَكَحَ زَوْجَتَهُ [inivit conjugem suam]; and this is one of the signs of a tropical expression. (Msb.) b2: نَكَحَتْ She married, or took a husband. (S, K.) b3: نَكَحَ المَطَرُ الأَرْضَ The rain became commingled with the soil: (Msb:) or, rested upon the ground so as to soak it; syn. إِعْتَمَدَ عَلَيْهَا: (K:) as also ↓ نَاكَهَا. (L.) b4: نَكَحَهُ الدَّوَى The disease infected him (خَامَرهُ), and overcame him. (Msb.) b5: نَكَحَ النُّعَاسُ عَيْنَهُ (tropical:) Drowsiness overcame his eye; (K;) as also نَاكَهَا: and in like manner ↓ استنكح النَّوْمُ عَيْنَهُ sleep overcame his eye. (TA.) 3 نَاْكَحَ see 1.4 انكحهُ المَرْأَةَ He married the woman to him. (TA.) b2: أَنْكَحَهَا He married the woman; i. e. gave her in marriage. (S, K.) b3: أَنْكِحُوا الحَصَى أَخْفَافَ الإِبِلِ (tropical:) [Accustom ye the feet of the camels to pebbles]. (A.) 6 تناكحوا They intermarried; contracted marriages together. (Commencing a trad. in the Jámi' es-Sagheer.) [And تَنَاكَحَا Se invicem futuerunt: see 6, in art. ردف] b2: تَنَاكَحَتِ الأَشْجَارُ The trees became drawn, or connected, together. (Msb.) 10 إِسْتَنْكَحَ see 1.

نِكْحٌ and ↓ نُكْحٌ substs. from أَنْكَحَهَا, [The act of giving a woman in marriage]. (K.) b2: [These two words are properly quasi-inf. ns, of أَنْكَحَ, signifying as explained above; and, like inf. ns., may be used as epithets, meaning A giver of a woman in marriage, correlative to خُِطْبٌ.] It was a custom, in the time of paganism, for a man to come to a tribe asking for a woman in marriage; and he would stand up in their assembly, and say خِطْبٌ, i. e., I have come as an asker of a woman in marriage; whereupon it would be said to him نِكْحٌ, meaning We marry her to thee, or give her to thee in marriage, [or, more lit., we are givers of her in marriage: for an inf. n. or quasi-inf. n. used as an epithet is used without variation as sing., dual., and pl.; and masc. and fem.]. ↓ نُكْحٌ was also said: but نِكْحٌ is here said for the sake of resemblance to خِطْبٌ. (L.) You say هو نِكْحُهَا He is the person who gives her in marriage: and هِىَ نِكْحَتُهُ She is the person whom he gives in marriage. (Lh, L) b3: نِكْحٌ and ↓ نُكْحٌ, [and, accord. to Lth and ISh, نِكِحٌ: see إِبِدٌ:] are also two words by which the [Pagan] Arabs used to take women in marriage: (S:) [meaning A giver of a woman in marriage]. (MF, in art. خطب.) A man used to say to Umm-Khárijeh, in asking her in marriage, خُِطْبٌ, and she used to reply نُكِْحٌ: hence the saying أَسْرَعُ مِنْ نِكَاحِ أُمِّ خَارِجَةَ [Quicker than the marriage of Umm-Khárijeh]. (S, K.) [See خِطْبٌ].

نُكْحٌ: see نِكْحٌ.

نُكَحٌ: see نَكَحُةٌ.

رَجُلٌ نُكَحَةٌ, (S, K,) and ↓ نُكَحٌ (K) A man who marries much, or often: (S, K, TA:) Az explains the former by شَدِيدُ النِّكَاحِ, [app. meaning vehement in coitus,] and mentions as its pl. نُكَحَاتٌ: (TA:) [and ↓ نَكَّاحٌ (A, TA, art. تيس, &c.) signifies the same.]

نَكَّاحٌ: see نُكَحَةٌ.

نَاكِحٌ (S, K) and نَاكِحَةٌ, (K,) the latter occurring in poetry, (TA,) A woman married; (TA;) having a husband. (S, K, TA.) Ex.

هِىَ نَاكِحٌ فِى بَنِى فُلاَنٍ She has a husband among the sons of such a one. (S.) مَنْكَِحٌ and مَنْكُوحَةٌ: see مَنَاكِحُ.

مَنَاكِحُ Women, or wives; syn. نِسَآءٌ: (K:) a pl. having no sing.; or its sing. is ↓ مَنْكَحٌ; [or ↓ مَنْكِحٌ, which occurs in the S and K, art. علث, evidently as signifying a wife; as though being a place of نِكَاح;] or ↓ مَنْكُوحَةٌ. (TA.) b2: إِنَّ المَنَاكِحَ خَيْرَهُا الأَبْكَارُ [Verily the best of women to take in marriage are virgins]. A proverb. (TA.)

(IAar, L.) [See also 4.] Legal نَسْخ, or abrogation, may respect the letter and the force of command, or one of these; whether the command have been performed, as is generally the case, or have not been performed, as in the case of the sacrifice of Ishmael, [or, as some of the Muslims say, agreeably with the Bible narrative, Isaac,] for Abraham was commanded to sacrifice him, and then the command was abrogated before its execution. (Msb.) b2: Also, نَسَخَ He, or it, changed, or altered, a thing. (K.) Ex. نَسَخَتِ الرِّيحُ آثَارَ الدَّارِ The wind changed, or altered, [or, it may also be rendered, obliterated, or effaced,] the traces of the dwelling.

(Fr, Aboo-Sa'eed.) b4: [Also, as used in post-classical, and perhaps in classical, times, He (God) caused his soul to pass into the body of another man.] The connexion of the soul of a human being, after its departure from the body, with the body of another human being, is termed نَسْخٌ; with the body of a beast, مَسْخٌ; with a plant, فَسْخٌ; and with an inanimate and not-increasing body, رَسْخٌ. (Marginal note in a copy of the KT.) [But see 1 (last sentence) in art. فسخ. See also 6.]

b5: نَسَخَ He transferred a thing from one place to another, it remaining the same: (TA:) he transferred what was in a bee-hive to another [hive or place].

(A.) b8: ↓ نَسْتَنْسِخُ, in the Kur, xlv. 28, signifies We set down, or register, and preserve: (Jel:) or We command to be transcribed and to be set down, or registered. (T.) 3 نَاْسَخَ see 6.4 انسخ He (God) made a verse of the Kur-án to be abrogated, annulled, or superseded, by another verse: (Z, MF:) or found it to be so; like أَحْمَدَهُ “ he found him, or it, to be praised, or praiseworthy. ” (AAF.) In the Kur, ii. 100, Ibn-'Ámir reads مَا نُنْسِخْ for ما نَنْسَخْ. (TA.) [See also 1.]6 تناسخت الأَشْيَآءُ The things succeeded one another, one taking the place of another. (L.) b2: تناسخت القُرُونُ, (A, Msb,) and الأَزْمِنَةُ, (Msb, K,) (tropical:) The times succeeded, one in the place of another; (Msb, K;) one passing away after another. (K.) b3: تناسخت الوَرَثَةُ, (tropical:) [The heirs died, one after another, and so cancelled their rights to inheritance].

What aileth him? May he be killed, so as not to be numbered among his people. The latter hemistich is a proverb. (Meyd.) The poet here utters an imprecation against the man, but in so doing praises him; as when you say, of a man whose action pleases you, مَا لَهُ قَاتَلَهُ اللّٰهُ and أَخْزَاهُ اللّٰهُ [q. v.]. (S.) The rel. n. is ↓ نَفَرِىٌّ. (Sb, M.) A2: [Accord. to the Msb, it is also a simple subst. from نَفَرَ: and app. as signifying especially Aversion.]

[or quasi-pl.] of نَفَرٌ, signifying men assembled to go to the enemy: (Bd, xvii. 6:) or aiders, or assistants. (M.)

(S, TA.) نَفِيرُ قُرَيْشٍ means Those of Kureysh who went forth to Bedr to defend the caravan of Aboo-Sufyán, (M,) which was coming from Syria. (T.) Hence the proverb, فُلَانٌ لَا فِى

العِيرِ وَلَا فِى النَّفِيرِ [Such a one is neither in the caravan nor in the company going forth to fight]: applied to him who is not regarded as fit for a difficult undertaking: because none held back from the caravan and the fight except him who was crippled by disease and him in whom was no good; (TA:) or the original words of the proverb are لا فِى العِيرِ وَلَا فِى النَّفِيرِ: and these words were first said by Aboo-Sufyán, with reference to the Benoo-Zuhrah, when he found them turning back towards Mekkeh; and, accord. to As, are applied to a man who is held in low and little repute.

It is said of Mohammad, by Aboo-Sufyán (S, TA) Ibn-Harb, (TA,) لَمْ يُنَاكِرْ أَحَدًا إِلَّا كَانَتْ مَعَهُ الأَهْوَالُ, (S, TA,) meaning, He did not war with any one without being aided by terror [cast into the hearts of his opponents].

(TA.) [In this sense it is doubly trans.:] you say, أَنْكَرْتُهُ حَقَّهُ, meaning, I denied, or disacknowledged, to him his right. (Msb.) The cause of إِنْكَار with the tongue is إِنْكَار with the mind, but sometimes the tongue denies, or disacknowledges, (يُنْكِرُ,) a thing when the image thereof is present in the mind; and this is lying; as is the case in the following passage of the Kur, [xvi. 85,] يَعْرِفُونَ نِعْمَةَ اللّٰهِ ثُمَّ يُنْكِرُونَهَا [They confess, or acknowledge, the favour of God; then they deny, or disacknowledge, it].

(Bd, xi. 73.) And you say, أَنْكَرْتُ عَلَيْهِ فِعْلَهُ, meaning, I blamed, or found fault with, his deed, and forbade it; I disapproved and disallowed his deed. (Msb:) [and I manifested, or showed, or declared, disapproval, or disallowance, of his deed: and in like manner, أَنْكَرْتُ عَليْهِ, elliptically; فِعْلَهُ, (his deed,) or قَوْلَهُ, (his saying;) or the like, being understood; like عَيَّرَ عَلَيْهِ for عَيَّرَ عَلَيْهِ فِعْلَهُ or the like: see نَكِيرٌ.] b5: إِنْكَارٌ also signifies The changing [a thing; like تَنْكِيرٌ]: (T, Msb, TA:) or the changing what isمُنْكَر [here app. meaning disapproved: see نَكِيرٌ, which is syn. with it, but is a simple subst.].

In [some of] the copies of the K, it is said that نَكِيرَةٌ [but in a MS. copy I find نَكِيرٌ and so in the CK] is a subst. from تَنَكُّرٌ as signifying the changing, or altering, oneself, or itself; or becoming changed, or altered; from a state which please one to a state which one dislikes: but a different statement is found in the T: [see above.] and نكيرة is not mentioned by any authority. (TA.) A2: A strong fortress. (Sgh, K.) See نُكْرٌ.

A3: See also مُنْكَرٌ.

نَكَارَةٌ: see نَكِرَةٌ.

A2: See also نُكْرٌ.

أَنْكَرُ Worse, and worst; more, and most, evil, abominable, or foul. So it is explained as occurring in the Kur. [xxxi. 18,] إِنّ أَنْكَرَ الْأَصْوَاتِ لَصَوْتُ الحَمِيرِ [Verily the most abominable of voices is the voice of asses]. (TA.) b2: See also نَكِرٌ: and the fem., نَكْرَآءُ, see above.

مُنْكَرٌ contr. of مَعْرُوفٌ: (K:) [an explanation including several significations, here following.]

b2: [Ignored, or unknown; as also ↓ مَنْكُورٌ, for مَنْكُورٌ is syn. with مَجْهُولٌ [the pass. part. n. of the verb by which أَنْكَرَهُ is explained by Kr and in the K]; (TA;) and ↓ مُسْتَنْكَرٌ signifies the same. (L.) For the pls. of مُنْكَرٌ, see نَكِرٌ. b3: [Denied, or disacknowledged. (See the verb.) b4: Deemed strange, extraordinary, or improbable, (See again the verb.)] b5: Any action disapproved, or disallowed, by sound intellects; or deemed, or declared, thereby, to be bad, evil, hateful, abominable, foul, unseemly, ugly, or hideous; or pronounced to be so by the law because the mind deliberates respecting the regarding it as such: and thus it is used in the Kur, ix. 113 [and other places]: (B, TA:) or anything pronounced to be bad, evil, hateful, abominable, or foul, and forbidden, and disapproved, disliked, or hated, by the law: (TA:) a saying, or an action, unapproved, not approved, unaccepted, or not accepted, by God: (KT:) unbecoming, indecent, or indecorous. (KL.) See مَعْرُوفٌ, voce عُرْفٌ. مُنْكَرٌ and ↓ نُكْرٌ and ↓ نُكُرٌ (S, A, Msb, K) and ↓ نَكْرَآءُ (S, Msb K) are all syn., (S, A, Msb, K,) [and are used as epithets in which the quality of a subst. predominates,] signifying a bad, an evil, a hateful, an abominable, a foul, an unseemly, an ugly, or a hideous, [and a formidable,] thing or affair [or action or saying or quality, &c.]: (Msb:) [in this sense, its pl. is مُنْكَرَاتٌ and مَنَاكِيرُ; as will be seen below:] ↓ نُكْرٌ is contr. of عُرْفٌ [which is syn. with مَعْرُوفٌ]. (TA.) You say فِيهِمُ الْمَعْرُوفُ وَالْمُنْكَرُ, and العُرْفُ والنُّكْرُ, [In them are good and evil qualities.] And هُمْ يَرْكَبُونَ الْمُنْكَرَاتِ, and المَنَاكِيرَ, [They commit bad, evil, abominable, or foul, actions.] (A.) And it is said in the Kur, [xviii. 73,] لَقَدْ جِئْتَ شَيْئًا نُكْرًا [Verily thou hast done a bad, an evil, an abominable, or a foul, thing]. (S.) A2: The name of one of two angels, the other of whom is named نَكِيرٌ; (S;) who are the two triers of [the dead in] the graves. (ISd, K.) A3: See also نَكِرٌ.

مَنْكُورٌ: see مُنْكَرٌ, first signification. The pl. is مَنَاكِيرُ, [which is also a pl. of مُنْكَرٌ,] accord. to Sb, who mentions it because, accord. to rule, the pl. of a sing. of this class is formed by the addition of و and ن for the masc., and ا and ت for the fem. (Abu-l-Hasan, TA.) خَرَجَ مُتَنَكِّرًّا He went forth disguised; or changed in outward appearance, or state of apparel. (TA.) مُسْتَنْكَرٌ: see مُنْكَرٌ, first signification.

طَرِيقٌ يَنْكُورٌ A road, or way, in a wrong direction. (S, K.)

نجس

1 نَجِسَ, aor. ـَ (S, Msb, K;) and نَجَسَ, aor. ـُ (Msb;) and نَجُسَ, aor. ـُ (K,) accord. to some, but the books of good repute are silent respecting this last; (Msb;) inf. n. نَجَسٌ, (S, Msb, TA,) of the first; (Msb;) and نَجَاسَةٌ, (TA,) or this last is a simple subst. [as the verb نَجُسَ to which by rule it should belong is not of good authority]; (Msb;) It was, or became, unclean, dirty, filthy, or impure; (Msb;) [i. e.,] contr. of طَهَرَ, or طَهُرَ: (Msb, K: *) نَجَاسَة is of two kinds; one kind is perceived by sense; and one kind is perceived by the mind; of which latter kind is that which is attributed, in the Kur, ix. 28, to those who assert God to have associates: (Er-Rághib, B:) but in this latter sense, it is said by Z, to be tropical. (TA.) [See also نَجَاسَةٌ below.] You also say, (of a garment, A, Msb,) ↓ تنجّس, meaning, It was, or became, rendered unclean, dirty, filthy, or impure. (A, Msb, K.) A2: نَجْسٌ, [app. an inf. n. of which the verb is نَجَسَ,] The making a child's عُودَة [or amulet, of any of the kinds described below, voce تَنْجِيسٌ]. (TA.) 2 نجّسهُ, (S, A, Msb, K,) inf. n. تَنْجِيسٌ, (TA,) He rendered him, or it, unclean, dirty, filthy, or impure; (A, Msb, K;) and ↓ انجسهُ signifies the same. (S, A, K.) El-Hasan said of a man who married a woman with whom he had committed fornication, فَهُوَ أَحَقُّ بِهَا ↓ هُوَ أَنْجَسَهَا [He defiled her, therefore he is most worthy of her]. (A, TA. *) b2: نَجَّسَتْهُ الذُّنُوبُ (tropical:) [Sins, or crimes, defiled him]. (A, TA.) A2: نجّس لَهُ, and نجّسهُ, He charmed him; or fortified him by a charm or an amulet [of any of the kinds described below, voce تَنْجِيسٌ, q. v.]; syn. عَوَّذَهُ. (TA.) 4 أَنْجَسَ see 2, in two places.5 تنجّس: see نَجِسَ.

A2: He did a deed whereby to become free from uncleanness, dirt, filth, or impurity; (K;) like as you say تَأَثَّمَ and تَحَرَّجَ and تَحَنَّثَ, meaning, he did a deed whereby to become free from crime, sin, &c. (TA.) نَجْسٌ: see نَجِسٌ.

نَجِسٌ and ↓ نَجَسٌ (S, A, O, Msb, K) and ↓ نَجُسٌ and ↓ نَجْسٌ and ↓ نِجْسٌ (A, O, K) Unclean, dirty, filthy, or impure: (A, Msb, K:) the last of these is only used when the word is preceded or followed by رِجْسٌ: (ISd:) or only when it is preceded by رِجْسٌ: (Fr, S, * and Har in the Durrat-el-Ghowwás:) but this remark correctly applies only to the greater number of instances: (M, F:) the second of the above five forms is an inf. n. used as an epithet; (A, Msb;) and is [therefore] used as sing. and dual. and pl. and masc. and fem., without variation: (TA:) [and the first and last are also used as pls., as will be seen below; but when so used, I suppose قَوْمٌ or some other coll. gen. n. to be understood:] the pl. [of every one of the other forms] is أَنْجَاسٌ (A, Msb, TA) and [of the fourth and fifth, and perhaps of the first and third also, though I do not remember similar instances,] نِجْسَةٌ. (TA.) [See also نَجَاسَةٌ, below.] نَجِسٌ and ↓ نَجْسٌ [&c.], applied to a man, signify Unclean, &c., [both properly and tropically]. (TA.) [The two following examples are said in the A to be tropical.] النَّاسُ أَجْنَاسٌ وَأَكْثَرُهُمْ أَنْجَاسٌ (tropical:) [Men are of several kinds, and most of them are unclean.] (A, TA.) And إِنَّمَا الْمُشْرِكُونَ نَجَسٌ (tropical:) [Verily the associaters of others with God are but unclean], said in the Kur, [ix. 28,] (S, A, TA,) or نَجِسٌ, or ↓ نِجْسٌ, accord. to certain readers.

أَنْجَسُ [More, and most, unclean, dirty, filthy, or impure]. You say, لَا تَرَى أَنْجَسَ مِنَ الكَافِرِ (tropical:) [Thou wilt not see any one more unclean than the unbeliever]. (A, TA.) تَنْجِيسٌ The name of a thing, either something unclean, or bones of the dead, or a menstruous rag, which used to be hung upon him for whom there was a fear of the jinn's, or genii's, being attached to him: (K:) or the hanging of some such thing upon such a person, as a child or any other; for they used to say that the jinn would not approach those things: (TA:) or a thing which the Arabs used to do, as an amulet, to drive away thereby the [evil] eye: (S:) ↓ مُنَجِّسَةٌ also is the name of a kind of amulet: (IAar:) and ↓ نِجَاسٌ is syn. with تَعْوِيذٌ; [by which may be meant either that it signifies an amulet, or that it is a quasi-inf. n. of 2; for it is said that] it is app. a subst. from نَجَّسَ لَهُ, or نَجَّسَهُ, as signifying عَوَّذَهُ. (IAar.) See also 2.
