(A.) [Accord. to the TA, the addition “ from this place and that,” which is found in the K and A, and in one place in the S, seems to be unnecessary. And ↓ انتقر signifies the same: see 8, in art. قب.] b2: [Hence, because of the sure aim with which a bird pecks a thing,] the same verb, having the same [aor. and] inf. n. signifies, (tropical:) It (an arrow) hit the butt. (Msb.) And He (an archer) hit the butt, without making his arrow to pass through, partly or wholly. (TA.) b3: [Hence also,] (assumed tropical:) He took [or picked] a thing, as, for instance, food, with the finger. (TA.) b4: Also, (M, K,) aor. and inf. n. as above, (M, TA,) He struck a thing (IKtt, K, * TA,) with a thing: (IKtt, TA:) [generally, he struck, knocked, or pecked, a thing with a pointed instrument, like as a bird strikes a thing with its beak:] he struck [or pecked] a mill-stone, or a stone, &c., with a مِنْقَار [which is a pick, or a kind of pickaxe; i. e., he wrought it into shape, and roughened it in its surface, with a pick]. (M, TA.) b5: [Hence,] (tropical:) He wrote [or engraved writing] فِى حَجَرٍ upon a stone. (A, K.) Whence the saying, التَّعْلِيمُ فِى الصِّغَرِ كَالنَّقْرِ عَلَى الحَجَرِ [or, as in a verse of Niftaweyh, فِى الحَجَرِ, i. e., Teaching in infancy is like engraving writing upon stone].

You say also أُذُنَهُ ↓ أَنْقَرَ, meaning, He struck [or fillipped] his ear with his finger. (AA, in TA, art. نطب.) b7: [Hence,] نَقَرَ, [aor. ـُ inf. n. نَقْرٌ, as appears from what follows;] and ↓ أَنْقَرَ; (tropical:) [He made a snapping with his thumb and middle finger;] he struck his thumb against the end of the middle finger and made a sound with them. (A.) [And in like manner the former verb used transitively; as in the following instance:] وَضَعَ طَرَفَ إِبْهَامِهِ عَلَى بَاطِنِ سَبَّابَتِهِ ثُمَّ نَقَرَهَا [(tropical:) He put the end of his thumb against the inner side of his first finger, then made a snapping with it].

(TA.) A poet, (S,) Fedekee El-Minkaree, (K,) i. e., 'Obeyd Ibn-Máweeyeh, of the tribe of Teiyi, (TA,) uses النَّقُرْ for النَّقْرْ, meaning النَّقْرُ بِالْخَيْلِ [The smacking with the tongue to urge the horses]: pausing after the word, at the end of a hemistich, he transfers the vowel of the ر to the ق, (S, K,) agreeably with the dial. of certain of the Arabs, (TA,) that the hearer may know it to be the vowel of the [final] letter when there is no pause; (S;) like as you say, هٰذَا بَكْرُ and مَرَرْتُ بِبَكِرْ: but this is not done when the word is in the accus. case (S, K:) and if you choose, you may make the final letter quiescent in pausing, though it is preceded by a quiescent letter. (S.) b9: Hence also, فَإِذَا نُقِرَ فِى النَّاقُورِ [Kur, lxxiv. 8,] (tropical:) For when the horn shall be blown: (S, * A, * Bd, K:) from نَقْرٌ signifying (tropical:) the making a sound: originally, striking, which is the cause of sound. (Bd.) See also نَاقُورٌ, below. b10: Also, نَقَرَ He bored, perforated, or made a hole through or in or into, a thing: (TA:) or he did so with a مِنْقَار: (S:) and, inf. n. نَقْرٌ, he hollowed out, or excavated, a piece of wood. (Mgh, Msb.) نُقِرٌ and ↓ اِنْتَقَرَ, (so in some copies of the K,) or ↓ أُنْتُقِرَ, (so in other copies of the K and in the TA,) both in the pass. form, (TA,) said of stone and of wood and the like, signify alike, (K,) It was bored, or perforated, or it had a hole made through or in or into it: (TA:) [and it was hollowed out.] Yousay, نَقَرَ البَيْضَةَ عَنِ الفَرْخِ, (K,) aor. ـُ inf. n. نَقْرٌ, (TA.)

(Lth, A, K.) And in like manner, ↓ انتقرت السُّيُولُ نُقَرًا The torrents left hollows in the ground, in which water was retained. (TA.) b11: Hence, نَقَرَ عَنِ الأَمْرِ; (Msb;) and عَنْهُ ↓ نقّر, (S, K,) inf. n. تَنْقِيرٌ; (S;) and ↓ نقّرهُ; and ↓ تنقّرهُ: and ↓ انتقرهُ; (K;) (tropical:) He searched or inquired into the thing; investigated, scrutinized, or examined, it; (S, Msb, K, TA;) and endeavoured to know it: (TA;) and so نَقَرَ عَنِ لخَبَرِ (tropical:) he investigated the news, and endeavoured to know it. (A.) [and hence,] السَّهْمَ بَيْنَ إِصْبَعَيْهِ ↓ نقّر. (K, in art. حن,) or عَلَى الإِبْهَامِ, inf. n. تَنْقِيرٌ, (K, in art. دوم,) [He tried the sonorific quality of the arrow by turning it round between his fingers, or upon his thumb: see حَنَّانٌ, and دَرَّ السَّهْمُ, and see also 4, in art. دوم: or] نقّر السَّهْمَ signifies he made the arrow to produce a sharp sound [by turning it round between his fingers, or] upon his thumb. (TK, in art. دوم.) 2 نَقَّرَ see 1, last two sentences.4 أَنْقَرَ see 1, in three places, in the first half.

A2: انقر عَنْهُ, (S, K,) inf. n. إِنْفَارٌ, (TA,) He refrained, forbore, abstained, or desisted, from it or him; he left or relinquished, it or him. (S, * K.) Hence the saying, ضَرَبَهُ فَمَا أَنْقَرَ عَنْهُ حَتَّى قَتَلَهُ He beat him and left him not until be killed him. (TA.) And hence the saying of I'Ab, مَاكَانَ اللّٰهُ لِيُنْقِرَ عَنْ قَاتِلِ الْمُؤْمِنِ, i. e., God will not leave the slayer of the believer until He destroy him (S, TA.) 5 تَنَقَّرَ see 1, last signification 8 إِنْتَقَرَ see 1, latter part, in four places.

نَقْرٌ (tropical:) A slight sound that is heard in consequence of striking the thumb against the middle finger [and then letting them fly apart in opposite directions, passing each other]: (S, K:) [or the snapping with the fingers or with the thumb and middle finger, or with the thumb and first finger; as also ↓ نَقيرٌ: n. an. of the former with ة.] One says, مَا أَثَابَهُ نَقْرَةٌ (tropical:) [He did not reward him with even a snap of the fingers;] meaning, with anything: (S, K [in the former of which it is implied that نقرة thus used is from نَقْرٌ in the first of the senses explained above;]) not used thus save in [a negative phrase. (S.) A poet says, وَهُنّ حَرَى أَلَّا يُثِبْنَكَ نقْرَةٌ وَأَنْتَ حَرُى بِالنَّار حِينَ تُثِيبُ (tropical:) [And they are fit, or worthy, not to reward thee with anything, and thou art fit for, or worthy of, the fire of hell when thou rewardest]. (S.) Or the right reading in both these instances is ↓ نُقْرَةً, with damm. (TA.)

[See also an (??) in a verse cited in the first paragraph of art. شأو.] I'Ab, in explanation of the words of the Kur, [iv. 123,] وَلَا يُظْلَمُونَ نَقِيرًا, put the end of the thumb against the inner side of his first finger, then made a snapping with it (ثُمَّ نَقَرَهَا), and said, This is what is termed ↓ نَقِيرٌ; [denoting the lit. meaning to be (tropical:) And they shall not be wronged a snap of the fingers.] (TA.)

See also نَقْرٌ. b6: The place in which a bird lays its eggs: (K:) pl. نُقَرٌ. (TA.) نَقِيرٌ: see نَقْرٌ, in three places.

(A, Msb.) b3: [Hence,] أَخْطَأَتْ نَوَاقِرُهُ (tropical:) [lit., His arrows that were wont to hit the butt missed]; meaning, he did not continue in the right course. (TA.) [And hence,] نَاقِرَةٌ (tropical:) A calamity; (K, TA;) pl. نَوَاقِرُ. (TA.) One says, رَمَاهُ الدَّهْرُ بِنَاقِرَةٍ, and بِنَوَاقِرَ, (tropical:) Fortune smote him with a calamity, and with calamities. (TA.) b4: Also, نَاقِرَةٌ (tropical:) A right argument, allegation, evidence, or the like; syn. حُجَّةٌ مُصِيبَةٌ: in the K, a و is incorrectly inserted between these two words: but the pl., نَوَاقِرُ, is afterwards correctly rendered in the K.

(K.) مِنْقَارٌ The beak of a bird; that which is to a bird as the mouth to a man; (Msb;) because it pecks, or picks up, with it: (TA:) or of a bird which is not one of prey; that of a bird of prey being called مِنْسَرٌ: (Fs, and S in art. نسر, and MF:) therefore the explanation in the K, which is, the مِنْسَر of a bird, is incorrect: (MF:) [and the dual signifies the two mandibles of a bird; used in this sense in the TA, art. صغو:] pl. مَنَاقِيرُ.

A2: See also 5, in two places.5 تنمّر [He made himself like a leopard or panther, in diversity of colours: see also 1].

'Amr Ibn-Maadee-Kerib says, قَوْمٌ إِذَا لَبِسُوا الحَدِي دَ تَنَمَّرُوا حَلَقًا وَقِدَّا [A people who, when they put on armour of iron mail,] make themselves like the leopard or panther (نَمِر) in the diversity of colours of the iron [rings] and the thongs. (S.) b2: (assumed tropical:) He made himself like the leopard or panther (نَمِر, K, TA) in ill-nature: (TA:) (tropical:) he became angry; as also ↓ نَمِرَ, (M,) aor. ـَ inf. n. ↓ نَمَرٌ; (TA;) and ↓ نمّر: (M:) (tropical:) he became evil in disposition; as also ↓ نَمِرَ: (T:) (tropical:) he became angry and evil in disposition; as also ↓ نَمِرَ and ↓ نمّر; (IKtt, Sgh, K;) like the نَمِر: (TA:) (tropical:) he strained the voice in threatening: (Sgh, K:) and تنمّر لَهُ (assumed tropical:) he became ill-natured and altered to him, and threatened him; because the نَمِر is never met otherwise than angry and illnatured.

[of pauc.] أَنْمُرٌ (M, K) and أَنْمَارٌ, (M, Msb, K,) and [of mult.] نُمُورٌ, (S, M, Msb, K,) held by Th to be pl. of نِمْرٌ, (M,) and نُمُورَةٌ (Msb, and so in some copies of the K) and نُمُرٌ, (S, M, K,) which occurs in poetry, and is anomalous, perhaps a contraction of نُمُورٌ, (S,) and not mentioned by Sb, (M,) and نُمْرٌ, (M, K,) which is the most common in occurrence, but, accord. to Th, he who uses it makes the sing. أَنْمَرُ, (M,) and نِمَارٌ, (M, K,) held by Th to be pl. of نِمْرٌ, (M,) and نِمَارَةٌ. (K.) As the نَمِر is one of the most abominable and malignant of wild beasts, one says, لَبِسَ فُلَانٌ لِفُلَانٍ جِلْدَ النَّمِرِ, meaning, (tropical:) Such a one became changed, or altered, to such a one; or met him in a morose manner: (IB:) or became very rancourous, or malicious, towards him. (TA.) The kings of the Arabs, when they sat [in judgment] to slay a man, used to attire themselves in skins of the نَمِر, and then give orders for the slaying of him whom they desired to slay. (IB.)

(TA.) b2: See also نَمِرٌ.

مُنَمَّرٌ: see أَنْمَرُ. [In the TA, voce حِبَرَةٌ, it is applied as an epithet to a garment of the kind called بُرْد: and in the K, voce حَبِيرٌ, to a cloud, or collection of clouds: in the former case, it app. signifies striped, (see نَمِرَةٌ,) or, as in the latter case, spotted.]

(TA.) It (a speech or discourse) finished, (K, TA,) and became complete. (TA.) He (a man) died: (S:) occurring in a verse of En-Nábighah Edh-Dhubyánee: as related by J, نَجِزَ; but as related by A 'Obeyd, نَجَزَ. (TA.) A2: نَجَزَ الوَعْدُ, (A, Mgh, Msb, K,) aor. ـُ (Msb, K,) inf. n. نَجْزٌ; (Msb;) and نَجِزَ, aor. ـَ (K;) inf. n. نَجَزٌ; (TK;) The promise came to pass, and was accomplished: (A, Mgh:) or the promise was prompt, or quick, in taking effect: (Msb:) or the thing promised (TK) came, arrived, or became present: (K, TA:) in this sense, the former is the more chaste; but both have been heard. (TA.)

(TA.) [Hence the saying,] إِنْ رُمْتَ المُحَاجَزَهْ فَقَبْلَ المُنَاجَزَهْ [If thou desire the reciprocal prevention of fighting, and the making of peace, let it be before fighting]: (A:) or المُحَاجَزَهْ قَبْلَ المُنَاجَزَهْ (S, K) [the reciprocal prevention of fighting, and] the making of peace, [should be] before the striving together, (المُعَالَجَة, as in the CK,) or hastening, (المُعَالَجَة, as in some copies of the K and in the TA, and, accord. to the latter, المُسَارَعَة,) in fighting: (K, TA:) a proverb: (S, TA:) relating to the prudence of him who hastens to flee from him whom he has not power to withstand: (K:) or applied to him who seeks peace after fighting.

(Msb.) [Hence the saying,] أَنْجَزَ حُرٌّ مَا وَعَدَ (S, K) An ingenuous man fulfils what he promises: a proverb: (TA:) alluding to the fulfilment of a promise: and sometimes, to the asking, or demanding, the fulfilment thereof: El-Hárith the son of 'Amr said to Sakhr the son of Nahshal, “ Shall I guide thee to booty and one fifth of it be for me? ” and he answered, “Yes: ” so he guided him to some people from El-Yemen, and Sakhr made a sudden attack upon them, and engaged with them in conflict, and overcame, and obtained booty; and when he turned back, El-Hárith said to him the above words, and Sakhr fulfilled his promise to him. (K.) b3: انجز عَلَى القَتِيلِ He hastened and completed, or made certain, the slaughter of the slain man; i. q. أَجْهَزَ عَلَيْهِ. (Abu-l-Mikdám Es-Sulamee and K.) 5 تَنَجَّزَ see 10, in five places.6 تَنَاْجَزَ see 3.10 استنجز حَاجَتَهُ, and ↓ تنجّزها, He sought, or asked, or demanded, the accomplishment of his want, from him who had promised him; (Msb;) syn. إِسْتَنْجَحَهَا.

(TA.) Hence, البَرَاآتِ ↓ تَنَجُّزُ The demanding and receiving of immunities. (Mgh.) You say also, إِسْتَنْجَزْتُ مِنْهُ كِتَابًا, and تَنَجَّزْتُهُ, [app. meaning, I sought, or asked, or demanded, of him the finishing, or completion, of a writing, or letter, or book.] (A.) نَجْزٌ and ↓ نُجْزٌ are syn. You say, أَنْتَ عَلَى

(S.) And لَا يُبَاعُ غَائِبٌ بِنَاجِزٍ, meaning, A debt to be paid at a future time shall not be sold for ready money. (Mgh.) And نَاجِزٌ بِنَاجِزٍ is a proverb, [meaning Ready merchandise with ready money,] like يَدٌ بِيَدٍ, and عَاجِلٌ بِعَاجِلٍ. (TA.) It is said in a trad., بِيعُوا حَاضِرًا بِنَاجِزٍ [Sell ye present merchandise for ready money]. (S.) And a poet ('Abeed Ibn-El-Abras, TA, art. كلأ,) says, وَإِذَا تُبَاشِرُكَ الهُمُو مُ فَإِنَّهَا كَالٍ وَنَاجِزْ (S, TA, ubi supra;) [And when griefs attend thee, know that] they are, some, debts to be payed at future periods, and some, payments in ready money. (TA, ubi supra.) The saying [of 'Abd-Allah Ibn-'Ámir El-Kurashee, owner of a horse named Esh-Shamoos, (TA, art. شمس,)]

جَرْىَ الشَّمُوسِ نَاجِزًا بِنَاجِزِ [app. meaning, Quickly as the running of EshShamoos; ready with ready, or prompt with prompt;] is explained by IAar, as meaning, Thou hast given an evil recompense and I have recompensed thee in like manner: or, as he says in one place, this is said when one does a thing and thou dost the like thereof; he not being able to go beyond thee in word or in deed. (TA.) [Respecting this saying, Freytag says, in his Arab. Prov., i. 305, (where, for نَاجِزًا we find نَاجِزٌ,) that it applies to him who is equal to the execution of the things which he undertakes, as well good as bad: and that جَرَى is to be supplied before جَرْىَ.]

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.

(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.
