(Har p. 50.) A2: He closed, or locked, a door; (S, Mgh, TA;) [or, so that one could not find the way to open it; (see مُبْهَمٌ;)] and stopped it up. (TA.)

(Msb.) أَقْصَرُ مِنْ إِبْهَامِ الضَّبِّ [Shorter than the great toe of the (lizard called) ضبّ], and من ابهام القَطَاةِ [than the back toe of the (bird called) قطاة], and من ابهام الحُبَارَى [than the back toe of the (bird called) حبارى], are proverbs of the Arabs.

(TA.) b5: (assumed tropical:) A thing, or an affair, made to be dubious, confused, or vague; (JK;) [such that there is no way, or manner, of knowing it; (see the verb;)] or such that one knows not the way, or manner, in which it should be engaged in, done, executed, or performed: (JK, S, Mgh, TA:) (assumed tropical:) speech, or language, [that is dubious, confused, or vague,] such that there is no way, or manner, of knowing it: (Mgh, TA:) applied to a road, (assumed tropical:) unapparent, or hardly apparent: (TA:) and, applied to the ordinance respecting the making up for the days in which one has broken a fast, [and to many other cases,] (assumed tropical:) undefined; in this instance meaning, as to whether the days may be interrupted, or whether they must be consecutive. (Mgh.) [Hence,] مُبْهَمَاتٌ (assumed tropical:) Difficult things, or affairs, such that one cannot find the way to perform them. (TA.) and الأَسْمَآءُ المُبْهَمَةُ, so termed by the grammarians, (assumed tropical:) The nouns of indication, (S, K,) such as هٰذَا and هٰؤُلَآءِ and ذَاكَ and أُولَائِكَ: (S:) accord. to Az, الحُرُوفُ المُبْهَمَةُ signifies (assumed tropical:) the particles which have no derivatives, and of which the roots are not known, as الَّذِى and مَا and مَنْ and عَنْ and the like.

(Msb. [But in this last work it seems to be مثبْهِمَةٌ, which is not agreeable with common usage.]) In the copies of the K, بُهْمٌ and بُهُمٌ are given as pls. of this word: but it seems that there is an omission or a misplacement in the passage; for these are said to be pls. of بَهِيمٌ, as shown above. (TA.) b7: (assumed tropical:) In a state of swooning or insensibility, speechless, and without discrimination; in consequence of a blow [&c.]. (TA.) b8: See also بَهِيمٌ.

(Er-Rághib, MF and TA in art. سكت.) The Arabs say, (Ks, TA,) and it is said in a trad., (TA,) لَا صَمْتَ يَوْمًا إِلَى اللَّيْلِ, or يَوْمٌ, or يَوْمٍ, i. e. There shall be no keeping silence a whole day [until night]. (Ks, K, TA. [In the “ Jámi' es-Sagheer,” we find لا صُمَاتَ instead of لا صَمْتَ: and El-Munáwee, in his Commentary on that work, says that the keeping silence for a whole day is forbidden by the words of this trad. because it is an imitation of a Christian custom.]) And إِذْنُهَا صُمَاتُهَا [in another trad., relating to the asking a virgin if she consent to be married, lit. Her permission is her silence,] means her silence is like her permission, i. e. it suffices. (Msb.) One says also, جَآءَ بِمَا صَآءَ وَصَمَتَ (assumed tropical:) [He brought what was vocal and what was mute]; مَا صَآءَ meaning sheep, or goats, and camels; and مَا صَمَتَ, gold and silver: (IAar, TA:) صَآءَ in this saying is formed by transposition from صَأَى [q. v.]. (S in art. صأى.) 2 صمّتهُ, (M, A, K,) inf. n. تَصْمِيتٌ; (S;) and ↓ اصمتهُ; (M, A, Msb, K;) He made him, or rendered him, silent, mute, or speechless: (S, A, Msb, K:) or he made him, or rendered him, long silent or mute or speechless. (M.) b2: [Hence,] صَمِّتِى صَبِيَّكِ Feed thy child with that which will silence it [or quiet it]. (A, TA.) b3: and صمّت الرَّجُلَ He inclined to the man who complained to him by reason of his complaint [and so quieted him; or he cared for the complaint of the man and so quieted him; see مُصَمِّتٌ]. (M, TA.) A2: See also 1, first sentence.4 اصمتهُ: see 2. b2: [Hence,] لَمْ يُصْمِتْهُ ذٰلِكَ That did not suffice him [so as to quiet him]: said only of what is eaten and drunk. (TA.) b3: and اصمتهُ He made it to be solid, not hollow; without a cavity. (A'Obeyd, S, K.) [For that which is without a cavity is generally non-sonorous.] b4: And أُصْمِتَتِ الأَرْضُ, or أَصْمَتَت, (accord. to different copies of the K, the latter accord. to the O,) The land became altered (أَحَالَت) [so as to be rugged, or hard, app. in consequence of its having been left untilled and unsown,] at the end of two years, (O, K,) and had rugged patches of urine and dung. (O.) A2: See also 1, first sentence. b2: أَصْمَتَ also signifies He was, or became, tonguetied, (O, TA,) and spoke not; (TA;) said of a sick man. (O, TA.) صُمْتَةٌ a subst. from صَمَتَ [as such signifying Silence, muteness, or speechlessness; like صَمْتٌ used as a subst., and صُمْتٌ &c.; and like سُكْتَةٌ and سِكْتَةٌ]. (M, TA.) b2: And (M, TA) A thing, (M, A, K, TA,) i. e. food, (A, K, TA,) or the like, (K, TA,) such as a date, or something pretty, (TA,) with which one silences [or quiets] (M, A, K, TA) a child; (A, K, TA;) as also ↓ صِمْتَةٌ; (Lh, M, TA;) like سُكْتَةٌ [in this sense as well as in the former sense]. (S.) A date is called صُمْتَةُ الصَّبِىِّ [The quieter of the child], (M, TA,) and صُمْتَةُ الصَّغِيرِ [The quieter of the little one], so in a trad., because when the little one cries, or weeps, he is silenced with it. (TA.) One says, مَا عِنْدَهَا صُمْتَةُ لَيْلَةٍ She has not as much as would silence [or quiet] her child during one night. (A.) and مَا لَهُ صُمْتَةٌ لِعِيَالِهِ and ↓ صِمْتَةٌ He has not what would feed and silence [or quiet] his household, or family. (Lh, M.) صِمْتَةٌ: see the next preceding paragraph, in two places.

(K.) رَمَاهُ بِصُمَاتِهِ, (Az, K, A, K, [in a copy of the M بصِمَاتِه, but this I think a mistranscription,]) or ↓ بِصُمَاتَةٍ, (K accord. to the TA, and so in the M in art. سكت,) [both probably correct, for] one says also بِسُكَاتِهِ (Az, S) and بِسُكَاتَةٍ, (S, M, A, K, in art. سكت,) He (a man, Az, S, or God, A) smote him, or afflicted him, with a thing that silenced him. (Az, S, M, A, K.) [See رَمَاهُ بِسُكَاتٍ, in art. سكت.] b2: صُمَاتٌ signifies also Thirst: (As, TA:) or quickness of thirsting, (M, K, TA,) in men and in beasts. (M, TA.) فُلَانٌ عَلَى صِمَاتِ الأَمْرِ Such a one is, or was, at the point of accomplishing the affair. (S.) And أَنَا عَلَى صِمَاتِ حَاجَتِى I am at the point of accomplishing my want. (M.) And بَاتَ عَلَى

صِمَاتِ أَمْرِهِ He passed the night resolved upon his affair. (TA.) And هُوَ بِصِمَاتِهِ He is at the point of [attaining] his purpose: (M, TA:) Aboo-Málik says that صِمَاتٌ signifies قَصْدٌ [i. e. purpose, intention, &c.]. (TA.) And one says, بَاتَ مِنَ القَوْمِ عَلَى صِمَاتٍ He passed the night in a place where he was seen and heard by the people, near to them. (S, TA.) دِرْعٌ صَمُوتٌ (tropical:) A coat of mail from which no sound is heard to proceed when it is put on, (S, A, L, TA,) it being soft to the feel, not rough nor rusty: (L, TA:) or a heavy coat of mail.

[لَها in the CK is erroneously put for لَهُمَا.]) And سَيْفٌ صَمُوتٌ (assumed tropical:) A sword that penetrates deeply into the thing struck with it [so as not to make a sound by its being repelled by a bone]. (K, TA.) And ضَرْبَةٌ صَمُوتٌ (assumed tropical:) A blow [with a sword or the like] passing among the bones, not recoiling from a bone (M, K, TA) so as to make a sound. (TA.) b2: And شَهْدَةٌ صَمُوتٌ (tropical:) A honey-comb that is full; not having a cell empty. (A, K.) صُمَاتَة: see رَمَاهُ بِصُمَاتِهِ, above.

صِمِّيتٌ, applied to a man, (S,) i. q. سِكِّيتٌ, (S, K, TA,) [i. e. Much, or often, silent or mute or speechless; or] long silent &c. (TA.) صَامِتٌ Silent, mute, or speechless: (Msb:) pl. صَامِتُونَ (Kur vii. 192) [and صُمُوتٌ, occurring in the K in art. زم]. [Hence,] one says, مَا لَهُ صَامِتٌ وَلَا نَاطِقٌ (tropical:) [He has not mute nor vocal property; or he has not dead nor live stock]: (S, M, A:) by the former are meant gold and silver; (S, M, Msb, K;) and by the latter, camels, (S, K,) and sheep or goats, (S,) or animals: (M:) i. e. he has not aught. (S.) b2: Also, of camels, (assumed tropical:) Twenty, (O, K,) and the like. (O.) b3: And of milk, (assumed tropical:) Such as is thick. (S, O, K.) أَصْمَتُ: see مُصْمِتٌ.

إِصْمِتَ and ↓ إِصْمِتَةَ, (M, K,) mentioned, but not expl., by Lh, (M,) meaning as above, (K,) or app. meaning in the desert, or waterless desert: (M:) and some say, بِوَحْشِ الإِصْمِتَيْنِ: (TA:) اصمت is as above, with the disjunctive alif; and also with the conjunctive [i. e. اصْمِتَ]: (O, K:) it is imperfectly decl., (S, MF, TA,) because combining the quality of a proper name with the fem. gender or with the measure of a verb: (MF, TA:) it is said that the desert, or waterless desert, is thus called because in it one fears much; as though everyone [therein] said to his companion, اصمت [i. e. اُصْمُتْ or أَصْمِتْ, “Be thou silent ”]; like as they say of a مَهْمَه that it is so called because a man [therein] says to his companion, مَهْ مَهْ: (MA:) [for] accord. to some the word إِصْمِت is an imperative changed into a subst., and hence the ء is disjunctive, and it may be with kesr accord. to a dial. var. [of the imperative] that has not reached us: accord. to Yákoot, it is the name of a particular desert; but others say that the proper name [of that desert] is وَحْشُ إِصْمِتَ. (TA in art. وحش.) إِصْمِتَة: see the next preceding paragraph.

مُضْمَتٌ [primarily signifies Made, or rendered, silent, mute, or speechless. b2: And hence,] Solid; not hollow; having no cavity. (A 'Obeyd, S, M, Mgh, Msb, K.) [For that which is without a cavity is generally non-sonorous.] b3: And A door, (S, M, Mgh, Msb, K,) and a lock, (M, K,) closed, or locked, (S, M, Mgh, Msb, K,) so that one cannot find the way to open it. (S, M, * K. *) A poet says, وَمِنْ دُونِ لَيْلَى مُصْمَتَاتُ المَقَاصِرِ [And in the way to Leylà are what are closed, &c., of chambers to which the owner alone has access: مَقَاصِر being used by poetic license for مَقَاصَير, pl. of مَقْصُورَةٌ]. (TA.) b4: Also A garment, or piece of cloth, of one, unmixed, colour. (M, Mgh, K.) The garment thus termed that is disliked is That of which the warp and woof are both of silk: or such as is woven of undressed silk, and then dressed, and dyed of one colour: (Mgh:) [or] such as is termed مُصْمَتٌ مِنْ خَزٍّ, i. e. consisting entirely of silk, not mixed with cotton nor with other material, was forbidden by the Prophet. (TA.) b5: [Hence,] فَرَسٌ مُصْمَتٌ A horse of one, unmixed, colour; in which is no colour differing from the rest: (S, A, TA:) pl. خَيْلٌ مُصْمَتَاتٌ. (TA.) And أَدْهَمُ مُصْمَتٌ [applied to a horse] (assumed tropical:) Black unmixed with any other colour. (TA.) b6: [Hence also,] إِنَآءٌ مُصْمَتٌ (assumed tropical:) A vessel not silvered, or not ornamented with silver. (Mgh.) And بَيْضَةٌ مُصْمَتَةٌ (assumed tropical:) A helmet made of one piece. (AO, TA in art. بيض.) And حَلْىٌ مُصْمَتٌ (assumed tropical:) A woman's ornament that is not intermixed with another: or, accord. to Ahmad Ibn-'Obeyd, that has stuck fast upon its wearer, so that it does not move about; such as the armlet, and the anklet, and the like. (TA.) b7: The فَهْد [or lynx, an animal proverbial for much sleeping,] is said to be مُصْمتُ النَّوْمِ (tropical:) [app. meaning A heavy sleeper]. (A, TA.) b8: الحُرُوفُ المُصْمَتَةُ are All the letters [of the Arabic alphabet] except those called حُرُوفُ الذَّلَاقَةِ [or الحُرُوفُ الذُّلْقُ]; (M, TA;) i. e. (TA) all the letters except those comprised in the phrase مُرْ بِنَفْلٍ. (K, TA.) [What is here rendered “ except ” (i. e. مَا عَدَا) is said by MF to be omitted in most of the copies of the K.] b9: See also مُصَمَّتْ.

مُصْمِتٌ Tongue-tied; (O, TA;) not speaking: (TA:) applied to a sick man [when he is unable to speak]: (O, TA:) and ↓ أًصْمَتُ [signifies the same,] i. q. أَبْهَمُ and مُبْهَمٌ. (So in copies of the K in art. بهم. [In one of the explanations which I have given of مُبْهَمٌ in consequence of an omission (to be supplied in Book II.), أَصْمَتُ is made syn. with مُصْمَتٌ.]) أَلْفٌ مُصَمَّتٌ (assumed tropical:) A thousand completed; (M, K;) like مُصَتَّمٌ; (M;) as also ↓ مُصْمَتٌ. (K.) مُصَمِّتٌ [A silencer, or quieter: and hence, b2: ] One who cares for another's complaint. (M, * Meyd, TA.) One says, (M, Meyd, TA,) i. e. a rájiz says, addressing a camel belonging to him, (Har p. 642,) إِنَّكَ لَا تَشْكُو إِلَى مُصَمِّتِ فَاصْبِرْ عَلَى الحِمْلِ الثَّقِيلِ أَوْ مُتِ [Verily thou complainest not to one who cares for thy complaint; therefore endure with patience the bearing of the heavy burden, or die]. (M, Meyd, TA.) تَشْكُو إِلَى غَيْرِ مُصَمِّتٍ, i. e. [Thou complainest] to one who cares not for thy case, is a proverb. (Meyd.)

نتج

1 نَتَجَ, (S, K, &c.,) aor. ـُ (as in the L, [but I believe this to be a mistake,]) or ـِ (accord. to the Msb, MS, MF,) inf. n. نَتْجٌ; (S;) and ↓ انتج; (A;) He assisted a she-camel, (S, K, &c.,) [and a mare, see نُتِجَتْ,] and a ewe or she-goat (Msb) [or other quadruped], in bringing forth; delivered her of her young one; acting to her as a midwife does to a woman. (T, Msb, &c.) The original form of expression is نَتَجَهَا وَلَدًا He assisted her in bringing forth a young one; delivered her of a young one. (Msb.) El-Kumeyt has used the form ↓ اِنْتَتَجَ in the sense of نَتَجَ: but it is not commonly current in Arabic. (TA.) AHn mentions the saying النَّاسُ ↓ إِذَا نَآءَتِ الجَبْهَةُ نَتَّجُ وَوَلَّدُوا وَاجْتُنِىَ أَوَّلُ الكَمْأَةِ [When El-Jebhah (the tenth of the Mansions of the Moon) sets antiheliacally, (for the setting, not the rising, is here meant, and this it did, about the commencement of the era of the Flight, in central Arabia, on the 11th of February,) the people assist their beasts, much, or frequently, in bringing forth, and deliver them, and the first of the truffles are gathered]. Thus he relates the saying, with teshdeed to the ث of نتج, to denote frequency of the act. (L.) b2: نُتِجَتْ, pass. in form, [but neut. in signification,] inf. n. نِتَاجٌ (S, K, &c.) and تَنْجٌ; (TA;) and ↓ أُنْتِجَتْ, (K,) also pass. in form; and some say نَتَجَتْ, but this is rare, and not heard by IAar; (TA;) and some, also, say ↓ أَنْتَجَتْ, (Lth, Kr,) but Az holds this to be a mistake; (TA;) She (a camel, IAar, S, K, &c., and a mare, IAar, and a sheep or goat or other quadruped, Msb) brought forth: (T, Msb, TA:) or one does not say نُتِجَتِ الشَّاةُ unless a man assist at the bringing forth. (Lth.) Thus one suppresses the objective complement of the verb. And one also says تُنِجَتِ النَّاقَةُ وَلَدًا The she-camel brought forth a young one: and in like manner one says of a ewe or a she-goat: and sometimes, with the same meaning, نَتَجَتِ الناقة ولدا, in the act. form. (Msb.) One also says الإِبِلُ ↓ تَنَاتَجَتِ The camels brought forth. (A.) [You say,] نَتَجَ القَوْمُ, (Lth,) and ↓ أَنْتَجَ, (L,) The people's camels or sheep or goats brought forth: (Lth, L:) or ↓ أَنْتَجُوا they had pregnant camels bringing forth. (K.) One may also say نُتِجَ الوَلَدُ, meaning The young one of a she-camel &c., [see نُتِجَتْ, above,] was brought forth, or born. (Msb.) See 4. b3: [Hence,] الرِّيحُ تُنْتِجُ السَّحَابَ (tropical:) [The wind assists the clouds in the discharging of their rain; i. e., draws forth the rain from the clouds. (A, L.) b4: [نُتِجَ It was produced, it resulted, or was a natural consequence.]2 نَتَّجَ see 1.4 أَنْتَجَتْ She (a camel, S, and a mare, S, K, or other solid-hoofed animal, Msb,) became pregnant: (T:) and so ↓ نَتَجَتْ, said of a she-camel, (Msb,) or other beast; but this is rare: (EsSarakustee, Msb:) or attained to the time of bringing forth: (S, K:) or became evidently pregnant: (Yaakoob, S, Msb:) accord. to IAar, أُنْتِجَتْ, in the pass. form, signifies she (a mare, and a camel,) became near to the time of bringing forth; and he had not heard أَنْتَجَتْ, in the act. form. (TA.) b2: See 1 and 8. b3: أَنْتَجَ or أُنْتِجَ (?) (tropical:) It produced a thing as its fruit, or result. Ex.

العَجْزُ وَالتَّوَانِى تَزَاوَجَا فَأَنْتَجَا الفَقْرَ Impotence and remissness combined together, and produced, as their result, poverty. (A, L.) And هٰذِهِ المُقَدِّمَةُ لَا تُنْتِجُ تَنِيجَةً صَادِقَةً This preamble will not produce a praiseworthy result. (A.) 5 تنتّجت She (a camel) breathed hard (تزحّرت) that her young one might come forth. (K.) 6 تَنَاْتَجَ see 1.8 اِنْتَتَجَتْ (L, K, TA: in the CK أَنْتَجَتْ) She (a camel) went away at random, and brought forth in a place unknown: (K:) or she brought forth by herself, unassisted by any one; (Yaakoob, L;) as also ↓ أَنْتَجَتْ. (L.) نِتَاجٌ: see نُتِجَتْ. b2: [Also, an inf. n. in the sense of a pass. part. n., like حَمْلٌ in the sense of مَحْمُولٌ, &c., What is brought forth by a camel &c.; and what are brought forth by camels &c., collectively; a brood thereof; its, or their, increase, or offspring; as is plainly shown in the lexicons &c., in many passages: for ex., see شَرْخٌ, and دِفْءٌ: also applied, in the TA art. بطن, to the young in the belly of a mare].

نَتُوجٌ, (Az, S, K,) a rare form of epithet from a verb of the measure أَفْعَلَ, (Kr,) and ↓ مُنْتِجٌ, (Az, TA,) or the latter is not allowable, (S, K,) and ↓ نَتِيجٌ, (Kr,) A she-camel, (S, Kr,) or a mare, (S, K,) or other solid-hoofed animal, (Msb,) pregnant: (Lth:) or that has attained to the time of bringing forth: (S, K:) or evidently pregnant: (Yaakoob, S, Msb:) or near to the time of bringing forth, and big-bellied. (Az.) b2: [See also مَنْتُوجَةٌ.]

نَتِيجٌ: see نَتُوجٌ.

نَتِيجَةٌ A young one of a she-camel &c. [see نَتَجَ and نُتِجَتْ] brought forth. (Msb.) b2: نتِيجَةٌ (assumed tropical:) Any produce, fruit, result, or natural consequence, of a thing: (KL:) [the sum of a speech or saying: a necessary inference: the conclusion of an argument or of a syllogism: pl. نَتَائِجُ.] You say, هٰذِهِ نَتِيجَةٌ من نَتَائِج كَرَمِكَ (tropical:) [This is one of the fruits, or results, of thy generosity]. (A.) [For another ex. see 4.] b3: هُمَا نَتِيجَةٌ They are both of one age: said of two sheep. (Yoo, S.) غَنَمُ فُلَانٍ نَتَائِجُ The sheep, or goats, of such a one are of one age. (S, K.) هٰذَا الوَلَدُ نَتِيجُ وَلَدِى (tropical:) This child is one born in the same month, or year, as my child. (A.) نَاتِجٌ A man assisting a she-camel &c. [see نَتَجَ] in bringing forth; delivering her; or one who assists her in bringing forth; who delivers her. (Msb, TA.) مَنْتِجٌ The time at which a she-camel, (S,) or a mare, (K,) brings forth. (S, K.) Ex. أَتَتِ النَّاقَةُ عَلَى مَنْتِجِهَا The she-camel arrived at the time of her bringing forth. (S.) مُنْتِجٌ: see نَتَوجٌ. b2: قَعَدَ مُنْتِجًا (tropical:) He sat accomplishing a want of nature. (A.) مِنْتَجَةٌ The anus; syn. اِسْتٌ; as also مِنْثَجَةٌ. (K.) مَنْتُوجَةٌ A she-camel &c., [see نَتَجَ] assisted in bringing forth; delivered. (Msb, TA.) b2: Also, A she-camel [&c., see نُتِجَتْ,] bringing forth; (T;) and so, accord. to Kr, ↓ نَتُوجٌ, which, he says, is the only epithet of this measure from a verb of the measure فُعِلَ, except بَتُولٌ: (TA:) pl. مَنَاتِيجُ: ex. نُوقٌ مناتيجُ she-camels bringing forth. (A.)

(TA.) b2: Hence, (TA,) (tropical:) He tried, tested, or proved, him. (K, TA.) And عَجَمْتُ عُودَهُ (assumed tropical:) I tried, tested, or proved his case, and knew his state, or condition. (S, TA.) And عَجَمَتْهُ الأُمُورُ (assumed tropical:) Affairs exercised him so as to render him strong for them, and habituated, or inured, to them. (TA.)

(Msb.) 2 عَجَّمَ see 4.3 عَاْجَمَ see the verse cited in the first paragraph.4 اعجمهُ He made it (i. e. speech, or language, S, K, or a thing, TA) to want, or be without, or to have a quality the contrary of, clearness, perspicuousness, or distinctness; (S, Msb, K, * TA;) or [to be barbarous, or vitious, i. e.] to want, or be without, chasteness, or correctness. (K, * TA.) Ru-beh says, [in some verses very differently cited in different copies of the S,] of him who attempts poetry without having knowledge thereof, يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُعْرِبَهُ فَيُعْجِمُهْ [He desires to make it clear, &c., and he makes it to want clearness, &c.]. (S.) b2: And He dotted it, or pointed it, (S, K,) namely, a letter, (S,) or a writing; (K;) he removed its عُجْمَة [or want of clearness, &c.,] by means of dots, or [diacritical] points, (Nh, Msb, TA,) and [the signs called]

(TA.) b3: And He locked it; namely, a door. (Msb.) b4: نَهَانَا النِّبِىُّ أَنْ نُعْجِمَ النَّوَى طَبْخًا [The Prophet forbade us to make the date-stones to become as though they were chewed and bitten], (K,* TA,) occurring in a trad., means that when dates are cooked for دِبْس, (K, TA,) i. e. for taking their sweetness, (TA,) they should be cooked gently, so that the cooking shall not extend to the stones, (K, TA,) nor produce upon them such an effect as that of their being chewed and bitten, (TA,) and thus spoil the taste of the حَلَاوَة, (K, TA,) so in the copies of the K, but correctly, as in the Nh, the سُلَافَة [here meaning the sweet decocture]; (TA;) or because they [the date-stones] are food for the home-fed animals, and therefore they should not be thoroughly cooked, that their taste, (K, TA,) in the Nh their strength, (TA,) may not go away: (K, TA:) or the meaning is, [that he forbade] the cooking the date-stones immoderately, so that they would crumble, and their strength, with which they would be good for the sheep, or goats, would be spoiled. (TA.) 7 إِنْعَجَمَ see the next paragraph.10 استعجم He was unable to speak: (TA:) he was silent, mute, or speechless; (K, TA;) said of a man. (TA.) And اِسْتَعْجَمَتِ الدَّارُ عَنْ جَوَابِ سَائِلِهَا [The dwelling kept silence from replying to its interrogator]: and Imra-el-Keys says, صَمَّ صَدَاهَا وَعَفَا رَسْمُهَا وَاسْتَعْجَمَتْ عَنْ مَنْطِقِ السَّائِلِ [Its echo has become dumb, and its trace has become effaced, and it has become in the state of keeping silence from answering the speech of the interrogator]: he makes استعجمت trans. by means of عن because it is used in the sense of سَكَتَتْ. (TA.) b2: One says also, استعجم عَلَيْهِ الكَلَامُ, (S,) or عَلَيْنَا, (Msb,) meaning Speech was as though it were closed against him, or us; or he, or we, became impeded in speech, unable to speak, or tongue-tied; syn. اِسْتَبْهَمَ: (S, Msb:) and عليه الكلام ↓ انعجم; [which means the same;] syn. اِنْطَبَقَ and اِنْغَلَقَ. (K * and TA in art. طبق.) And accord. to the K, one says, استعجم القِرَآءَةَ, meaning He was unable to perform [or continue] the recitation, or reading, by reason of the overcoming of drowsiness: but what is said in the Nh and other works is اِسْتَعْحَمَتْ عَلَيْهِ قِرَآءَتُهُ i. e. His recitation, or reading, was cut short, and he was unable to perform [or continue] it, by reason of drowsiness: and it is also expl. as meaning he was, or became, impeded in his recitation, or reading, and unable to perform [or continue] it, as though he became one in whom was عُجْمَة. (TA.) b3: And استعجم الخَبَرُ means The information, or narration, was dubious, confused, vague, or difficult to be understood or expressed; or was not to be understood or expressed; as though it were closed [against the hearer or speaker]; syn. اِسْتَبْهَمَ, and اِسْتَغْلَقَ.

(K.) A2: Also The stones of dates (S, Mgh, Msb, K) and of the drupes of the lote-tree (Msb) and of grapes (Mgh, Msb) and of raisins and of pomegranates and the like, (Mgh,) or also of other things, (Msb,) or the similar stones of anything, (K,) or also whatever is in the interior of a thing that is eaten such as the raisin and the like; (S;) and ↓ عُجَامٌ signifies the same: (K:) the vulgar say ↓ عَجْم: (Yaakoob, S:) [see also غِيضٌ, in an explanation of which عَجَمٌ is evidently, I think, used as meaning the heart (commonly termed جُمَّار q. v.) of the palm-tree:] the n. un. is عَجَمَةٌ, (S, Mgh, Msb,) which is incorrectly expl. by AHn as meaning a grape-stone when it germinates. (ISd, TA.) A3: Also Camels that bite, or chew, the [trees called] عِضَاه and the tragacanths and [other] thorny trees, and satisfy themselves therewith so as to be in no need of the [plants called] حَمْض.

-------------------------------------------------ل (Supplement) alphabetical letter ل ل — لَنَا فِى بَنِى فُلَانٍ دِمَآءٌ [We have a claim, upon the sons of such a one, to blood, lit. bloods]. (S in art. خبل.) b2: لَهُ أَنْ يَفْعَلَ كَذَا He shall have a right to do such a thing: see عَقَبَ. b3: رَأَيْتُ لَهُ بَرِيقًا I saw it to have a glistening: and سَمِعْتُ لَهُ صَوْتًا I heard him, or it, to have a sound proceeding from him, or it; or rather, I heard a sound attributable, or to be attributed, to him, or it; meaning, I heard him, or it, utter or produce, a sound; or I heard in consequence of it, &c. (see سَطَعٌ). b4: لَهُ كَذَا often means Such a thing appertains, or is attributable, to him, or it. b5: مَا لَنَا أَلَّا نُقَاتِلَ, in the Kur ii. 247, [i. e. أَنْ لَا,] means What object have we (أَىُّ غَرَضٍ لَنَا) in (فِى) [that we should not fight? or, in our] not fighting? (Bd:) And مَا لَنَا أَلَّا نَتَوَكَّلَ عَلَى اللّٰهِ, in the same, xiv. 15, means What excuse have we (أَىُّ عُذْرٍ لَنَا) in (فِى) [that we should not rely upon God? or, in our] not relying upon God? (Bd.) مَا لَنَا أَنْ لَا نَفْعَلَ كَذَا [may be rendered What reason, or motive, have we that we should not do such a thing? or, in that, &c.? or in our not doing &c.? for] the original form of the phrase is مَا لَنَا فِى أَنْ لَا نَفْعَلَ كَذَا (Mugh, voce أَنْ.) Often أَنْ is omitted, but meant to be understood: you say also, مَا لَكَ تَفْعَلُ كَذَا What reason, or motive, hast thou that thou dost such a thing? or what aileth thee &c.? It is often like مَا بَالُكَ. b6: غَرَّدَ بِصَوْتٍ لَهُ ضَعِيفٍ It (a bird) warbled with a feeble voice peculiar to it. b7: مَا لِى وَلِلْبَغِ بَعْضِكُمْ عَلَى بَعْضِ: see مَا لِى أَرَاكَ تَفْعَلُ كَذَا بَغَى What hath happened to me that I see thee doing such a thing, or thus?

For exs., see سَبْعٌ, and شَبَرَ, and أَفْثَأَ. b12: تَعْسًا لَهُ, and قُبْحَا لَهُ, and نَتْنًا لَهُ, &c.: see the first word of each of these phrases. b13: مَنْ لِى بِكَذَا: see بِ (near the end of the paragraph): and see also above. b14: لِ in the sense of بَعْد: see an ex. voce أَفْطَرَ, and see other exs. in the Msb, art. فطر. b15: لِ in the sense of بَعْدَ, or مِنْ وَقْتِ: see غَمٌّ. b16: لِلَيْلَةٍ خَلَتْ When one night had passed; i. e. on the first day of the month: ل in this case meaning عِنْدَ. b17: يَا لِلْفَلِيقَةِ come with succour to the calamity: see فِلْقٌ. b18: لِ in the sense of عَلَى: see Kur xvii. 108-9, and xvii. 7, and xxxvii. 103: and see exs. voce فُوهٌ (last quarter). b19: ل in فَدًى لَكَ &c.: see art. فدى. b20: لَ used as a corroborative, (see S in art. لوم,) after لَوْ and لُوْلَا the conditional إِنْ, is sometimes difficult to express in English, except by emphasis in pronunciation; as in أَمَا إِنَّهُ لَرَجُلٌ كَرِيمٌ Verily, or now surely, he is a generous man. This ex. occurs voce أَمَا. b21: لَ redundantly prefixed, for corroboration, to the ك of comparison: see a verse of Tarafeh voce ثِنْىٌ; and another similar instance in the Mugh, art. ل. b22: لَظَرُفَ زَيْدٌ meansHow excellent, or elegant, in mind, manners, address, speech, person, or the like, is Zeyd! syn. مَا أَظْرَفَهُ: and لَكَرُمَ عَمْرٌو How generous, &c., is Amr! syn. مَا أَكْرَمَهُ. (Mugh.) b23: لَنِعْمَ هُوَ Excellent indeed is he, or it. b24: مَا كَانَ لِيَفْعَلَ means, accord. to the Koofees, مَا كَانَ يَفْعَلُ; the ل being redundant, to corroborate the negation: accord. to the Basrees, مَا كَانَ قَاصِدًا لِأَنْ يَفْعَلَ. (Mugh.) See an ex. voce عَلَى as equivalent to فِى. b25: لَ in sentences beginning with إِنْ for إِنَّ: see p. 107, cols. 2 and 3: and see conj. 3 in art, قرأ. b26: ل of inception (لَامُ الإِبْتِدَآءِ): see exs. of this voce إِنَّ: and see De Sacy's Gr. Ar. n. 582, &c. b27: لَ termed لَامُ الجَوَابِ is, I think, best rendered by Then; or in that case: see exs. voce أَمَا. b28: لَ in لَعَمْرُ اللّٰهِ is [not a particle denoting swearing, but merely] a corroborative of the inchoative; the enunciative of which, i. e. قَسَمِى, or مَا أُقْسِمُ بِهِ, is understood. (S, art. عمر.) b29: يَا لَزَيْدٍ, and يَالَ زَيْدٍ, accord. to the Koofees, is a contraction of يَا آلَ زَيْدٍ. (Mugh, letter ل; and El-Ashmoonee on the Alfeeyeh, الاستفاثة.) It seems that where the ل is not connected with the word following it, يَالَ is generally, if not always, for يَا آلَ; and so sometimes when it is connected. See يَالَ غُدَرَ, voce غَادِرٌ, and see عَجَبٌ. See also De Sacy's Gr. Ar., 2nd ed., i. 476, note.

لَا, the negative, does not necessarily restrict to the signification of future time a marfooa aor. following it: in a case of this kind, مَا is often substituted for it in the explanation of a phrase; as in the instance of لَا يَعْرِفُ هِرَّا مِنْ بِرٍّ, in the TA, art. بر; and the aor. is more properly rendered by the present than by the future. b2: لَا رَجُلَ قَائِمٌ There is not any man standing: (Mugh:) but when the subst. and epithet are both simple words, and not separated, the latter may be used in three different ways; as in لَا رَجُلَ ظَرِيفَ and ظَرِيفًا and ظَرِيفٌ; otherwise it must be marfooa or mansoob, but not mebnee: this relates to لا used لِنَفْىِ الجِنْسِ. (Ibn-'Akeel, p. 165.) b3: لا, also, Lest. See رَكَبَهُ. b4: [لَا لَهُ وَلَا عَلَيْهِ There is nothing due to him, nor anything to be demanded of him. (Thus I have rendered this phrase, voce مَلَسَى, in three places.) For] when لا is a general negative, the context renders it allowable to suppress its subject, as in لَا عَلَيْكَ, for لَا بَأْسَ عَلَيْكَ; and sometimes the predicate, when known, is suppressed, as in لَا بَأْسَ. (Msb.) b5: لَاشَ, for لَا شَىْءَ: see art. لوش. b6: كَلَا وَلَا [As the time occupied in saying لَا وَلَا]. See an ex. in the TA, voce لوْذَان. b7: لَا وَلَا Olive-oil: in allusion to the words in the Kur xxiv. 35, occurring in a trad. b8: لَا يَقْرَأِ, as a prohibition, and لا يَقْرَأُ as an enunciative with the same meaning: see a trad. thus commencing in the Jámi' es-Sagheer: and see the Kur lvi. 78: and see an ex. voce رَهْنٌ. b9: لَا أَغَرُّ وَلَا بَهِيمٌ: see بَهِيمٌ. b10: لَا in a case of pausation pronounced لَأْ: see art. ا (near the end).

عجز

1 عَجڤزَ The primary signification of عَجْزٌ [an inf. n. of عَجَزَ] is The being, or becoming, behind, or behindhand, or backward, with respect to a thing; or holding back, hanging back, or abstaining, from it: and its happening at the latter, or last, part, or at the end, of an affair: and hence, in common conventional language, it has the signification shown by the explanation here next following. (Er-Rághib, B, &c., and TA.) b2: عَجَزَ, aor. ـِ inf. n. عَجْزٌ and مَعْجَزَةٌ and مَعْجِزَةٌ (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K) and مَعْجَزٌ, (S, O, Msb, K,) which is agreeable with rule, (S,) and مَعْجِزٌ, (S, O, Msb, K,) which is extr., (Sb, TA,) and عَجَزَانٌ and عُجُوزٌ; (O, K;) and عَجِزَ, aor. ـَ (O, Msb, K,) inf. n. عَجَزٌ, (Msb,) said by IKtt to be mentioned by Fr, as of the dial. of some of the tribe of Keys, but by others [and among them Sgh in the O] said to be a bad form, (TA,) or mentioned by Az, as of the dial. of some of the tribe of Keys-'Eylán, but not known to them, and said by IF to be disallowed by IAar in the sense here immediately following; (Msb;) He lacked strength, or power, or ability; he was, or became, powerless, impotent, or unable. (S, * Msb, * K, TA.) Yousay, عَجَزَ عَنْ كَذَا, (S, A, O, Msb, TA,) and accord. to some, as shown above, عَجِزَ عَنْهُ, (Msb, TA,) He lacked strength, or power, or ability, for, or to do, effect, accomplish, achieve, attain, or compass, such a thing; he was unable to do it: (S, * O, * Msb, * TA:) or (tropical:) he was too old to do it. (A, TA.) And it is said in a trad., (S, * Mgh,) of 'Omar, (TA,) لَا تُلِثُّوا بِدَارِ مَعْجَزَةٍ, meaning Remain ye not in a country, or district, or town, where ye are unable to gain your livelihood. (S, A, Mgh, * TA.) You say also, لَا يَسَعُنِى شَىْءٌ وَيَعْجِزُ عَنْكَ (tropical:) [app. A thing will not suffice me when it cannot thee]. (A, TA.)

(A, TA.) b3: [and عَجَزَ عَنْ كَذَا also signifies He, or it, lacked such a thing: see an ex. voce عَرْفٌ.] b4: [Hence,] عَجَزَتْ, (S, O, Msb, K,) aor. ـُ (S, O, K,) or ـِ (Msb,) inf. n. عُجُوزٌ (S, O, K) and عَجْزٌ, (TA,) She (a woman, S, O, Msb) became aged; (S, O, Msb, K;) [because the aged lacks strength;] as also عَجُزَتْ, aor. ـُ (O, K;) and ↓ عَجَّزَتْ, inf. n. تَعْجِيزٌ.

You say, اعجزهُ عَنِ الأَمْرِ He, or it, rendered him unable to do, effect, accomplish, achieve, attain, or compass, the affair.] b3: He, or it, rendered him (صَيَّرَهُ) unable (TS, K, TA) to attain, or overtake, him: (TS, TA:) b4: and [thus, by an inversion, it also signifies] he was unable to reach, or overtake, him.

(TA.) One says also, إِنَّهَا لَعَظيِمَةُ الأَعْجَازِ Verily she is large in the hinder parts: as though the term عَجُزٌ were applicable to every portion thereof. (Lh, TA.) And رَكِبَ فِى الطَّلَبِ أَعْجَازَ الإِبِلِ He exposed himself, in seeking [a thing], to abasement and difficulty and patient endurance, and exerted unsparingly his power or ability, (K, TA,) not caring for undergoing long night-journeying. (TA.) Thus expl. in a saying of 'Alee: لَنَا حَقٌّ إِنْ نُعْطَهُ نَأْخُذْهُ وَإِنْ نُمْنَعْهُ نَرْكَبْ أَعْجَازَ الإِبِلِ وَإِنْ طَالَ السُّرَى [There is a right belonging to us: if we be given it, we take it: and if we be refused it, we expose ourselves to abasement, &c., though the night-journeying be long]: (O, * TA:) or, accord. to Az, he does not mean this, but alludes to others' having precedence in respect of his right, and his being himself kept back from it. (TA.) One also says, بَنُو فُلَانٍ يَرْكَبُونَ أَعْجَازَ الإِبِلِ The sons of such a one are in a state of abasement, dependents of others: or experience difficulties; because the rump, or croup, of the camel is a difficult place to ride upon. (A.) And it is said by one of the wise, (Aktham Ibn-Seyfee, T, in TA, art. دبر,) لَا تَدَبَّرُوا أَعْجَازَ أُمُورٍ قَدْ وَلَّتْ صُدُورُهَا, (TA, in this art., and O,) or لَا تَتَدَبَّرُوا, (T, in TA, art. دبر,) (tropical:) [Think ye not upon the ends of things whereof the beginnings have passed:] meaning, when a thing has passed, make not your minds, or desires, to follow after it, regretting what has passed, but be consoled for it, placing your reliance upon God: (O, TA:) and, as IAth says, it is intended to incite to the consideration of the results, or issues, of affairs before the entering upon them. (TA.) [See also دَبَّرَ.] b2: أَعْجَازُ نَخْلٍ The trunks of palm-trees. (S, O, K.) [See Kur liv. 20 and lxix. 7.) And أَعْجَازُ الصِّلِّيَانِ [The stems of the صِلِّيَان]. (AHn, M in art. صل.) b3: عَجُزٌ also signifies The last foot of a verse; contr. of صَدْرٌ. (TA.) And The latter hemistich of a verse: the former hemistich is termed صَدْرٌ. (O.)

A4: أَيَّامُ العَجُوزِ; (S, O, K;) also called ↓ أَيَّامُ العَجُزِ, because they come in the latter part (عَجُز) of winter; but the former is the correct appellation; (MF;) accord. to the usage of the Arabs, Five days, the names of which are صِنٌّ and صِنَّبْرٌ and وَبْرٌ and مُطْفِئُ الجَمْرِ and مُكْفِئُ الظَّعْنِ; said by Ibn-Kunáseh to be of the نَوْء of الصَّرْفَة [by which is meant the auroral setting of the Twelfth Mansion of the Moon, which, in Central Arabia, about the commencement of the era of the Flight, happened on the 9th of March O. S.: in the modern Egyptian Almanacs, the ايّام العجوز are said to commence now on the 9th of March N. S., which is now the 26th of February O.

You say, عتّم قِرَاهُ and ↓ عَتَمَ His entertainment for his guest, or guests, was, or became, slow, or tardy; syn. أَبْطَأَ [not أَبْطَأَ بِهِ]: (S, K:) and he delayed it: (TA: [but this, though virtually a correct rendering, is app. not so literally:]) and ↓ اعتم likewise has the former meaning: (K:) or قِرَى الضَيْفِ ↓ اعتم signifies he delayed the entertainment of the guest. (S.) and مَا عَتَّمَ أَنْ فَعَلَ كَذَا He delayed not, or was not slow, to do, or in doing, such a thing. (S, K. *) And حَاجَتَهُ ↓ اعتم He delayed [the accomplishment of] the object of his want.

[He beat him, and he attacked him,] and did not withhold, or restrict, or limit, himself, in beating him, [and in attacking him,] (S,) or and did not recede, or draw back, or desist: (K, TA:) the vulgar say, ضَرَبَهُ فَمَا عَتَّبَ.

(Z, TA.) b2: اِسْتَعْتِمُوا نَعَمَكُمْ حَتَّى

(TA.) You say, حالف بَثَّهُ, and حُزْنَهُ, (tropical:) He clave to his grief, or sorrow. (TA.) b4: مُحَالَفَةٌ also signifies (assumed tropical:) The establishing a brotherhood. (TA.)

(TA.) You say, بِاللّٰهِ مَا فَعَلَ ↓ استحلفهُ and ↓ حلّفهُ and احلفهُ [He made him to swear by God he did not, or had not done, such a thing]. (TA.) b2: [Hence,] أَحْلَفَ الغُلَامُ The boy passed the time when he had nearly attained to puberty: (K:) so says Lth; adding that some say, قَدْ أُحْلِفَ: and this Z mentions also, and he adds, so that it was doubted whether he had attained to puberty: but Az says that أَحْلَفَ الغُلَامُ in this sense is a mistake; and that it means only he nearly attained to puberty; so that those who looked at him differed in opinion; one saying and swearing that he had attained to puberty, and another saying and swearing the contrary. (TA.) b3: and أَحْلَفَتِ الحَلْفَآءُ The حلفاء attained to maturity. (IAar, K.) [By الحلفاء would seem to be here meant the clamorous female slave: for when this word means a kind of grass, the ا is not that which denotes the fem. gender, but is a letter of quasicoordination, if its n. of un. be حَلْفَآءَةٌ, as in the Msb: but accord. to Sb, it is in this sense sing. and pl.; and as pl., it is fem.; and in a description of it by Aboo-Ziyád, cited by AHn, it is made fem.]6 تحالفوا عَلَى كَذَا They swore, one to another, respecting, or to do, such a thing; as also ↓ احتلفوا.

(TA.) By the احلاف are meant, in a poem of Zuheyr, Asad and Ghatafán; because they united in a confederacy to aid each other; and the same appellation is applied to a party of Thakeef; (S, K;) and to six tribes of Kureysh, namely, 'Abd-ed-Dár, Kaab, Jumah, Sahm, Makhzoom, and 'Adee: (K:) and ↓ الحَلِيفَانِ to Benoo-Asad and Teiyi, (S, O, K,) or Asad and Ghatafán; (ISd, TA;) and Fezárah and Asad also (S, K) are termed حَلِيفَانِ.

حَلَفَةٌ: see حَلْفَآء.

حَلِفَةٌ: see حَلْفَآء. b2: أَرْضٌ حَلِفَةٌ Land abounding with [the kind of grass called] حَلْفَآء; as also ↓ محلفة [app. مَحْلَفَةٌ]: (TA:) or producing حلفاء. (AHn, TA.) حَلْفَآء [app. حَلْفَآءٌ accord. to some, and حَلْفَآءٌ accord. to others, (in the CK, erroneously, حُلَفاء,)], (S, Msb, K, &c.,) in measure like حَمْرَآء, [and if so, حَلْفَآءُ, but see what follows,] (Msb,) and ↓ حَلَفٌ, (Akh, K,) [A kind of high, coarse grass; called by the botanists poa multiflora, and poa cynosuroïdes;] a certain plant, (S, Msb, K,) [growing] in water, (S,) well known, (Msb,) of those termed أَغْلَاث: (TA:) Aboo-Ziyád says of the حلفاء that it seldom grows anywhere but near to water or to the bottom of a valley; and is long, or tall, (سلبة,) rough to the touch; seldom, or never, does any one lay hold upon it, for fear of his hand being cut; sometimes camels and sheep or goats eat a little of it; and it is much liked by oxen: (AHn, TA:) [a coll. gen. n.:] n. un. ↓ حَلَفَةٌ, (S, K,) accord. to Az, (S,) or Aboo-Ziyád, and AHn, (TA,) and ↓ حَلِفَةٌ, (S, K,) accord. to As, (S,) and حَلْفَآءَةٌ, (Msb, K,) like صَحْرَآءَةٌ: (K: [in the CK like صَحْرَةٌ, and omitted in my copy of the TA:]) [this last n. un. requires that the coll. gen. n. should be حَلْفَآءٌ: (see 4, last sentence:) but] Sb says that حلفاء is sing. and pl.: [see شَجَرٌ:] (TA:) [as pl., it is fem.; and it is made fem. in the description by Aboo-Ziyád, cited above:] sometimes it has حَلَافِىُّ for pl.: and its dim. is ↓ حُلَيْفَيَّةٌ. (O, TA.) أَنَا الَّذِي فِى الحَلْفَآءِ, occurring in a trad., means (assumed tropical:) I am the lion; because that beast repairs to the places where the حلفاء grows: and [hence,] كَأَنَّهُ أَخُو الحَلْفَآءِ means (assumed tropical:) As though he were the lion. (TA.) A2: حَلْفَآءُ also signifies A clamorous female slave: (IAar, K:) pl. حُلُفٌ. (K.) حَلِيفٌ: see حِلْفٌ, in three places. b2: (assumed tropical:) Whatever cleaves, clings, keeps, or holds fast, to another thing, is termed its حَلِيف: whence one says, فُلَانٌ حَلِيفُ الجُودِ (assumed tropical:) [Such a one cleaves to liberality], &c.

(Skr, K.) Az says, سِنَانٌ حَلِيفٌ means (tropical:) A sharp spear-head: and I think that it is termed حليف because the sharpness of its point is likened to the sharpness of the points of [the grass called] حَلْفَآء. (TA.) حَلَافَةٌ (assumed tropical:) Sharpness, in anything. (TA.) وَادٍ حُلَافِىٌّ A valley that produces [the grass called] حَلْفَآء. (Sgh, K.) حُلَيْفِيَّةٌ: see حَلْفَآء.

حَلَّافٌ and حَلَّافَةٌ: see what next follows.

حَالِفٌ [Swearing:] and ↓ حَلَّافٌ that swears much, or often; and so ↓ حَلَّافَةٌ [but in a more intensive sense]. (TA.) مَا أَحْلَفَ لِسَانَهُ (tropical:) How sharp-tongued is he, (K, * TA,) and how chaste, or eloquent, in speech! (TA.) أُحْلُوفَةٌ: see حِلْفَةٌ.

مُحْلِفٌ (tropical:) Anything respecting which one doubts, so that people swear respecting it; (ISd, L, K, TA;) so called because it occasions swearing: (ISd, TA:) such is also termed مُحْنِثٌ. (L.) [Hence,] (tropical:) A boy of whom one doubts whether he have attained to puberty. (IAar, TA.) [and hence] it is said, حَضَارِ وَالوَزْنُ مُحْلَفَانِ (tropical:) [Hadári and El-Wezn are two causes of swearing]: these are two stars: the reason of the saying is that which is explained in art. حضر, voce حَضَارِ. (S, K.) Hence, also, كُمَيْتٌ مُحْلِفَةٌ, (S,) or كميت مُحْلِفٌ, (K,) i. e. (tropical:) [A bay] not of a clear hue; (S, TA;) between that termed أَحْوَى and that termed أَحَمُّ: accord. to the K, of a clear hue; but this is the meaning of غَيْرُ مُحْلِفٍ. (TA.) A poet says, (S,) namely Hubeyreh Ibn-'Abd-Menáf El-Yarboo'ee, also called, after his mother, Ibn-El-Kelhabeh, (IB,) كُمَيْتٌ غَيْرُ مُحْلِفَةٍ وَلٰكِنْ كَلَوْنِ الصِّرْفِ عُلَّ بِهِ الأَدِيمُ [A bay not of a dubious hue, but like the colour of the صرف (q. v.) with which the hide is dyed a second time]; i. e., of a clear hue, so that one does not swear that she is otherwise than such: (S, L:) accord. to IAar, not requiring her owner to swear that he has seen her like in generousness: but the former is the right meaning. (L.) Also نَاقَةٌ مُحْلِفَةٌ (tropical:) A she-camel respecting the fatness of which one doubts. (TA.) محلفة [app. مَحْلَفَةٌ]: see حَلِفَةٌ.
