1 خَطَا, (S, Msb, K, &c.,) aor. ـْ (Msb,) inf. n. خَطْوٌ; (Msb, K;) and ↓ اختطى; (S, K;) said of a man (S, Msb, TA) [and of a beast]; both signify the same; (S, K;) He stepped, paced, or walked; (MA, KL;) i. q. مَشَى; (M, Msb, K;) as also اِخْتَاطَ, [which see in art. خيط,] formed by transposition. (K.) You say, خَطَوْتُ خَطْوَةً وَاحِدَةً [I stepped one step]. (JK.) [and وَسَّعَ الخَطْوَ He stepped wide.] See also the last sentence of the next paragraph.2 خطّى He made to pass over: so in the saying, خَطَّى اللّٰهُ نَوْءَهَا God made, or may God make, its (a land's) [rain-giving] star or asterism to pass it over, and not send rain upon it: (TA in art. خطأ:) but in this case the verb is, (Mgh in that art.,) or may be, (TA ibid.,) originally خَطَّطَ, the final ط being changed into ى. (Mgh and TA ibid. [See 2 in art. خطأ.]) Accord. to Fr, خَطَّى السَّهْمَ and خطأ are syn. [as meaning He made the arrow to pass over, or to miss, the mark]. (TA in art. خطأ.) One says also, in praying for a man, خُطِّىَ عَنْهُ السُّوْءُ [May evil be made to pass him; or] may evil be repelled from him: and one says also خُطِّىَ عَنْكَ May it be removed, or put away, from thee: (S, TA:) or خُطِّئَ عَنْكَ السُّوْءُ. (ISk, TA in art. خطأ.) A2: The vulgar say [to a she-ass and to a she-camel or other beast in a slippery or difficult place] خَطِّى, meaning اِمْشِى [for اِمْشِى رُوَيَدًا Step thou leisurely]: but the correct word is ↓ اُخْطُِى [imperative fem. of خَطَا]. (TA.) 4 اخطاهُ He (a man) made him (another man) to step, pace, or walk. (S, TA.) A2: أَخْطَيْتُ for أَخْطَأْتُ: see the latter.5 تَخَطَّيْتُهُ I stepped, or walked, over him, or it: (Msb:) or I passed over and beyond him, or it: (S:) or تخطّى النَّاسَ He went over the people, (رَكِبَهُمْ,) and passed beyond them; and so ↓ اِخْتَطَاهُمْ. (K.) One says, تَخَطَّيْتُ رِقَابَ النَّاسِ [I stepped over, walked over, passed over and beyond, or went over and passed beyond, the necks of the people]. (S, TA.) It is said in a trad. respecting Friday, [of one who came too late to the Friday-prayers, as is shown in the TA in art. انى,] رَأَى رَجُلًا يَتَخَطَّى رِقَابَ النَّاسِ He saw a man passing step by step [over the necks of the people who were already in their ranks in the mosque]. (TA. [See also Har p. 83.]) One says also, فُلَانٌ لَا يَتَخَطَّى عَنِ الطُّنُبِ [Such a one will not step over, or beyond, or from, the tent-rope], meaning, will not go far from the tent for the purpose of voiding his excrement, by reason of his foulness and vileness and uncleanness. (TA.) And تَخَطَّيْتُ كَذَا (S, TA) I passed over [to such a thing or place or person]: (TA:) one should not say تَخَطَّأْتُ [in this sense], with ء. (S, TA.) [Hence the following tropical phrases.] تخطّاهُ المَكْرُوهُ (tropical:) [What was disliked or hated, or evil, passed over him; not alighting upon him]. (TA.) and تَخَطَّيْتُ إِلَيْهِ بِالمَكْرُوهِ (tropical:) [I passed over others to him with that which was disliked or hated, or evil; i. q. تَجَاوَزْتُ]. (TA.) And تخطّى عَنِّى

بَصَرُكَ (assumed tropical:) [Thine eye, or thy sight, passed me over]. (Aboo-Turáb, TA in art. تيه.) b2: [Also (assumed tropical:) I overstepped it, or transgressed it; namely, a limit prescribed to me, &c.]8 إِخْتَطَوَ see 1: A2: and see also 5.

خَطْوَةٌ A step, or pace, as meaning a single act of stepping or pacing or walking: (JK, S, K, Msb:) pl. [of pauc.] خَطَوَاتٌ (S, Msb, K) and [of mult.] خِطَآءٌ. (S.) Imra-el-Keys says, لَهَا وَثَبَاتٌ كَوَثْبِ الشِّبَآءِ فَوَادٍ خِطَآءٌ وَوَادٍ مَطِرْ [She has bounds like the bounding of gazelles; and a valley is stepped over by her with leisurely steps, and a valley is trampled over by her rapidly as though it were rained upon]: (S:) i. e., one time she steps, and refrains from running; and one time she runs with a running resembling rain: but AO relates it otherwise, saying, فَوَادٍ

خَطِيطٌ [lit. and a valley is not rained upon]: and some substitute كَصَوْبِ الخَرِيفِ [like the pouring rain of the autumn]. (IB, TA.) [See also what next follows.]

خُطْوَةٌ A step, or pace, as meaning the space between the two feet [in walking or running]: pl. (of pauc., S) خُطْوَاتٌ (S, Msb, K) and خُطُوَاتٌ and خُطَوَاتٌ (S, Msb) and (of mult., S) خُطًى. (S, Msb, K.) One says, قَرَّبَ اللّٰهُ عَلَيْكَ الخُطْوَةَ, meaning May God make short to thee the space, or distance. (TA.) And بَيْنَ القَوْلَيْنِ خُطٍى يَسِيرَةٌ (assumed tropical:) Between the two sayings is little difference. (TA.) لَا تَتَّبِعُوا خُطُوَاتِ الشَّيْطَانِ, in the Kur [ii. 163 &c.], means [Follow not ye] the ways of the Devil: (TA:) or the footsteps of the Devil: (JK:) here some read خُطْوَات; and some, accord. to Lth, خُطُؤَات, which Az pronounces to have no meaning. (TA.) خَطِيَّةٌ for خَطِيْئَةٌ: see the latter, in art. خطأ.

[Freytag, evidently from his having found it incorrectly written for حَظِيَّةٌ, has assigned to it the meaning of “ amica,” and “ amata. ”]

نَاقَتُكَ هٰذِهِ مِنَ المُتَخَطِّيَاتِ الجيف [the last word being app. الجِيَفَ] is a saying mentioned by Az: (TA in the present art.:) or من المُتَخَطِّئَاتِ الجيف. (TA in art. خطأ, where see the explanation.)

(TA.) The prov. relates to external evidences of things explaining their internal qualities.

(K, * TA.) The Arabs say, إِنَّ العَامِرِىَّ لَيَحِسُّ لِلسَّعْدِىِّ Verily the 'Ámiree is tender, or compassionate, towards the Saadee; because of the relationship that subsists between them. (TA.) And Abu-l-Jarráh El-'Okeylee said, مَارَأَيْتُ عُقَيْلِيًّا إِلَّا حَسَسْتُ لَهُ I have not seen an 'Okeylee without my feeling tenderness, or compassion, towards him; (S, TA;) for the same reason.

A2: حَسَّهُ, [aor. ـُ inf. n. حَسٌّ,] He made his حِسّ [i. e. sound, or motion,] to cease.

(TA.) [Hence, حُسَّ app. signifies It was utterly destroyed, so that nothing was left in the place thereof; and so ↓ احتسّ; for it is said that] حِسٌّ and اِحْتِسَاسٌ, with respect to anything, signify أَنْ لَا يُتْرَكَ فِى

[See a proverb, voce حَشَّ.] Hence the saying of Zeyd Ibn-Soohán, on the day of the battle of the Camel, when he was carried off from the field, about to die, اِدْفِنُونِى فِى ثِيَابِى وَلَا تَحُسُّوا عَنِّى تُرَابًا (tropical:) [Bury ye me in my clothes, and] shake not off any dust from me. (S, TA.) 2 حَسَّسْتُ الشَّىْءَ [a mistake in the CK for حَسَسْتُ]: see 4.4 احسّ الشَّىْءَ, (S, Msb, K,) inf. n. إِحْسَاسٌ, (Msb,) He perceived, or became sensible of, (وَجَدَ,) the حِسّ (i. e. motion or sound, TA) of the thing: (S, K, TA:) he knew the thing by means of [any of] the senses: (IAth, accord. to his explanation of الإِحْسَاسُ as signifying العِلْمُ بِالحَوَاسِّ:) he ascertained the thing as one ascertains a thing that is perceived by the senses: (Bd in iii. 45:) he knew the thing; or he perceived it by means of any of the senses; syn. عَلِمَ بِهِ, (Msb,) and عَلِمَهُ, and عَرَفَهُ, and شَعَرَ بِهِ; (TA;) as also ↓ حَسَّهُ, aor. ـُ inf. n. حَسٌّ and حِسٌّ and حَسِيسٌ; (TA, in explanation of the saying in the K that حَسَسْتُ الشَّىْءَ [in the CK erroneously ↓ حَسَّسْتُ] signifies the same as أَحْسَسْتُهُ;) and in like manner احسّ بِهِ is syn. with شَعَرَ بِهِ; (L, Msb;) and so is بِهِ ↓ حَسَّ, aor. ـُ inf. n. حِسٌّ (L, Msb) and حَسٌّ and حَسِيسٌ; (L;) or حِسٌّ is a simple subst.: (M, L:) accord. to Fr, إِحْسَاسٌ is syn. with وُجُودٌ; and Zj says that the meaning of احسّ is عَلِمَ and وَجَدَ: (TA:) or احسّ signifies he perceived, or became sensible of; syn. وَجَدَ: and he thought, or opined: (Akh, S, K:) and he saw; syn. أَبْصَرَ: and he knew: (K:) and is trans. in these senses by itself, (Akh, S,) or by means of بِ: (TA:) and أَحْسَسْتُ بِهِ signifies I knew it certainly; was certain, or sure, of it; (S;) as also به ↓ حَسِسْتُ, (S, K,) with kesr; (K;) speaking of news, or tidings: (S:) and for أَحْسَسْتُ, some say أَحْسَيْتُ, (S, Msb, K,) changing the [second] س into ى; (S, Msb;) and أَحَسْتُ, (T, S, L, K,) with a single س, which is an extr. kind of contraction, (S, K,) but made in all other similar cases, where the last radical letter is quiescent; (Sb, L, TA;) and [thus] for أَحْسَسْنَ, we find أَحَسْنَ; (S;) and in like manner, for ↓ حَسِسْتُ, (S, K,) or ↓ حَسَسْتُ, (Msb,) some say حَسِيتُ, (T, S, M, L,) and حَسَّيْتُ, (M, L, Msb, K, [in the CK حَسْتُ, which is the modern vulgar form,]) and حَسْتُ. (Abu-l-Hasan, IAar, T, M, L.) You say, احسّهُ بِعَيْنِهِ [He perceived him, or it, with his eye]; (Ibn-Zekereeyà, TA in art. جس;) and so ↓ حَسَّهُ. (Sgh, TA ibid.) [In the present art. in the TA, it is said that حَسَّهُ بالنصل is syn. with أَحَسَّهُ: but بالنّصل is evidently a mistranscription for بِالبَصَرِ.] And it is said in the Kur [iii. 45], فَلَمَّا أَحَسَّ عِيسَى مِنْهُمُ الكُفْرَ And when Jesus ascertained their unbelief as one ascertains a thing that is perceived by the senses: (Bd:) or opined it; or perceived it, or became sensible of it: (Akh, S:) or saw it: (Lh, TA:) or knew it, or perceived it sensibly. (Msb.) And in the same [xix. last verse], هَلْ تُحِسُّ مِنْهُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ Dost thou see of them any one? (TA.) You say also, هَلْ أَحْسَسْتَ الخَبَرَ Hast thou known the news? (TA.) And أَحْسَسْتُ بِالخَبَرِ, and أَحْسَيْتُ بِهِ, and به ↓ حَسِسْتُ, and حَسِيتُ به, I knew the news certainly. (S.) And أَحْسَسْتُ الخَبَرَ, and أَحَسْتُهُ, and ↓ حَسِيتُهُ, and حَسْتُهُ, I knew somewhat of the news. (T, L, TA.) And مَا أَحْسَسْتُ بِاخَبَرِ, and اَحَسْتُ بِه. مَا, and به ↓ ما حَسِيتُ, and ما حَسْتُ, I knew not aught of the news. (T, L, TA.) 5 تحسّس He listened to the discourse of people: (El-Harbee, K:) accord. to Aboo-Mo'ádh, it is (??) to تَسَمَّعَ and تَبَصَّرَ: (TA:) or he sought repeatedly, or time after time, to know a thing, by the sense (الحاسة) [of hearing &c.]: (Har p. 678:) or (so accord. to the TA, but in the K “ and,”) he sought after, (Msb, K.) or sought after repeatedly, or time after time, (Msb,) news, or tidings, of a people, in a good cause; (K;) تجسّس signifying the doing the same in an evil cause: A'Obeyd says, you say, تَحَسَّسْتُ الخَبَرَ and تَجَسَّسْــتُهُ; and Sh says that تَنَدَّسْتُهُ is similar to it; and IAar, that تَحَسَّسْتُ الخَبَرَ and تَبَجَّسْتُهُ [but this is app. a mistranscription for تَبَحَّثْتُهُ] signify the same. (TA.) You say also, تحسّس مِنَ الشَّيْءِ He asked, or inquired, after news, or tidings, of the thing. (S, TA.) And تحسّس فُلَانًا, and مِنْ فُلَانٍ, He inquired, or sought for information, respecting such a one; as also تجسّس: or the former signifies he sought after him for himself; and the latter, “he sought after him for another. ” (TA, art. جس.) The passage in which it occurs in the Kur xii. 87, has been differently interpreted, accord. to the several explanations here given. (TA.) A2: See also 7.7 انحسّ (assumed tropical:) It became pulled out or up or off; became eradicated, or displaced; fell, or came, out; syn. اِنْقَلَعَ: (S, K:) it fell; fell off; or fell continuously, by degrees, or one part after another; syn. تَحَاتَّ, (S, K,) and تَسَاقَطَ: (A, TA:) it broke in pieces: (TA:) said by Az to be a dial. var. of انْحَتَّ.

As a simple subst., it is often used as syn. with حَاسَّةٌ in the first of the senses assigned to the latter below; i. e., A sense; a faculty of sense; as, for instance, in the K in art. سمع. b2: Hence الحِسُّ المُشْتَرَكُ: see art. شرك].

A2: A sound: (K:) or a low, faint, gentle, or soft, sound; as also ↓ حَسِيسٌ: (S, Mgh, Msb, TA:) [in the present day it often signifies the voice of a man or woman; and particularly when soft:] a plaintive voice or sound, in singing or weeping, and such as that of a lute; syn. رَنَّهٌ: (TA:) or ↓ حَسِيسٌ, [or both,] the sound by which a thing is perceived: (Bd in xxi. 102:) and the former, motion: (K:) and the passing of anything near by one, so that he hears it without seeing it; as also ↓ حَسِيسٌ. (K TA.) It is said in the Kur [xxi. 102], ↓ لَا يَسْمَعُونَ حَسِيسَهَا They shall not hear its low sound: (S:) [meaning, that of hellfire:] or the sound by which it shall be perceived: (Bd:) or the motion of its flaming. (TA.) and in a trad., فَسَمِعَ حِسَّ حَيَّةٍ And he heard the motion, and the sound of the passing along, of a serpent. (TA.) And you say, مَا سَمِعَ لَهُ حِسًّا وَلَا جِرْسًا He heard not any motion, nor any sound, of him, or it. (TA.) It may refer to a man and to other things; as, for instance, wind. (TA.) A3: A pain which attacks a woman after childbirth, (S, A, K,) in the womb: (A:) or the pain of childbirth, when the latter is [first] felt: but the former meaning is confirmed by a trad. (TA.) b2: حشسُّ الحُمَّى The commencement of fever, when the latter is [first] felt; (TA;) as also ↓ حِسَاسُهَا: (Lh, TA:) or حِسٌّ signifies a touch, or slight affection, of fever, at its very commencement. (TA.) A4: Cold that nips, shrinks, shrivels, or blasts, (lit., burns, يُحْرقُ, for which, in the TA, is substituted يَقْطَعُ,) the herbage. (S, K.) [See also حَاسَّةٌ.]

حَسَاسٌ, with fet-h, Perception by means of any of the senses; syn. وُجُودٌ. (L, TA.) Hence the proverb, لَا حَسَاسَ مِنِ ابْنَىْ مَوْقِدٍ [There is no perceiving of the two sons of the place of the kindling of fire]: (L, TA:) for they say that two men used to kindle a fire in a road, and, when people passed by them, to entertain them as guests; and a party passing by when they had gone, a man said these words. (L.) And hence the saying, ذَهَبَ فُلَانٌ فَلَا حَسَاسَ بِهِ Such a one has gone, and there is no perceiving him: or there is no perceiving his place. (TA.) حِسَاسُ الحُمَّى: see حِسٌّ.

سَنَةٌ حَسُوسٌ A year of severe sterility and drought; (S, K; *) in which is little good fortune; (TA;) as also ↓ حَاسُوسٌ: (K:) or a year that consumes everything. (TA.) حَسِيسٌ: see حِسٌّ, in four places.

A2: Slain; killed. (S, Msb.) حِسِّىٌّ [Relating to sense; sensible, or perceptible by sense;] opposed to مَعْنَوِيٌّ. (Kull p. 101 &c.) حَسَّاسٌ Having strong perception: an epithet applied in this sense to the devil. (TA.) b2: رَجُلٌ حَسَّاسٌ للْأَخْبَارِ A man having much knowledge of news. (Msb.) b3: القُوَّةُ الحَسَّاسَةٌ [The sensitive faculty]. (Er-Rághib, TA in art. حى.) حَاسُوسٌ One who searches for news or tidings; (TA;) like جَاسُوسٌ: (K, TA:) or the former relates to good, and the latter to evil. (K, TA.) A2: Unfortunate; unlucky; (IAar, K;) as also ↓ مَحْسُوسٌ; (Lh, TA;) applied to a man. (IAar, K.) b2: See also حَسُوسٌ.

حَاسَّةٌ sing. of حَوَاسُّ, (A, Msb, K,) which signifies The five senses; (S, Msb;) the hearing, the sight, the smell, the taste, and the touch: (S, Msb, K:) these are the external: the internal are also five; but authors disagree respecting the seats thereof. (TA.) [See also حِسٌّ.] b2: [A feeling; as in the saying,] أَطَّتْ لَهُ مِنِّى حَاسَّةُ رَحِمٍ [A feel-ling of relationship, or consanguinity, pleaded for him on my part]. (Aboo-Málik, TA.) b3: [An organ of sense; as when you say,] العَيْنُ حَاسَّةُ الرُّؤْيَةِ [العين is the organ of the sense of sight]. (S in art. عين.) A2: [حَاسَّةٌ also signifies (assumed tropical:) A thing that destroys, consumes, or injures, herbage or the like. Hence,] حَوَاسٌ الأَرْضِ Cold and hail [in one copy of the S heat] and wind and locusts and the beasts [that pasture]: (S, K:) these also being five. (S.) You say, أَصَابَتِ الأَرْضَ حَاسَّةٌ (assumed tropical:) Cold smote the land: (Lh, TA:) the ة is to denote intensiveness. (TA.) [See also حِسٌّ, last signification.] And أَصَابَتْهُمْ حَاسَّةٌ (tropical:) Injury befell them (S, TA) from cold (S, A, TA) or some other cause. (S.) حَاسَّةٌ also signifies (assumed tropical:) Wind that removes the dust into the pools of water left by torrents, and fills them, so that the moist earth dries up. (AHn, TA.) And (assumed tropical:) Locusts eating the herbage of the land. (TA.) You say also, مَرَّتْ بِالقَوْمِ حَوَاسُّ, meaning (assumed tropical:) Severe years passed over the people.

دس

1 دَسَّهُ, (S, M, A, &c.,) aor. ـُ (M, Msb,) inf. n. دَسٌّ (M, A, Mgh, Msb, K) and دَسِّيسَى, (K,) like خِصِّيصَى, (TA,) He hid it, or concealed it, (Lth, S, A, Mgh, Msb, K,) namely, anything, (A, Mgh, Msb,) in the earth or dust, (S, Mgh,) or beneath a thing: (A, Mgh:) he buried it (A, Msb, K) in the earth or dust, (Msb,) or beneath a thing: (K:) or he put it in, or inserted it, beneath: (M:) or, accord. to some, he put it in, or inserted it, with force; he thrust it in: (TA:) and ↓ دَسَّسَهُ and ↓ دَسَّاهُ, (M, K, *) in the latter of which one of the س is changed into ى because the reduplication is disliked, (M, * TA,) signify the same as دَسَّهُ, (M, K, *) [or, probably, have an intensive signification.] It is said in the Kur [xvi. 61], أَمْ يَدُسُّهُ التُّرَابِ Or whether he shall bury it in the dust: meaning, his female child, which he buried alive: the pronoun agreeing with the word ما [which precedes in the same verse]. (T, TA.) It is also said in the Kur [xci. 9 and 10], قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَنْ زَكَّاهَا وَقَدْ

↓ خَابَ مَنْ دَسَّاهَا, (M, K, *) in which دسّاها is for ↓ دَسَّسَهَا, like تَظَنَّيْتُ for تَظَنَّنْتُ, (K,) because the niggardly conceals his place of sojourning and his property, but the liberal makes his place of sojourning upon an open and elevated spot that he may not be concealed from guests and those who desire to come to him: (Fr, Zj, K: *) or the meaning is, He is successful who maketh it (namely his soul) pure and believing, and he is unsuccessful who introduceth it among the good when he is not of them: (IAar, Th, M, K: *) or [he is successful who maketh it to increase in grace by good works,] and he is unsuccessful who maketh it vile and little by evil works: (M:) or the latter clause means, and he is unsuccessful who hideth it, and maketh it obscure and of no reputation, by the neglect of almsgiving and of obedience [to God in other matters]: (TA:) or the soul is unsuccessful that God rendereth obscure [so I render, here, دسّاها]. (Fr, K.) A2: دَسَّ البَعِيرَ, aor. ـُ inf. n. دَسٌّ, He anointed the camel with tar, not thoroughly, [but only in the arm-pits, and the inner parts of the roots of the thighs or other similar parts:] (M:) [for it is said that] دُسَّ البَعِيرُ signifies the camel was anointed with tar in the parts called the مَسَاعِر: (S: [see دَجَلَ:]) or the latter signifies the camel became swollen in the parts so called. (M.) Hence the prov., لَيْسَ الهَنْءُ بِالدَّسِّ [which see explained in art. هنأ]. (TA in art. هنأ. [In the S and M and TA, in the present art., instead of الهَنْءُ, we find الهِنَآءُ: but the former is the preferable reading.]) 2 دَسَّسَهُ and دَسَّاهُ: see دَسَّهُ; each in two places.7 اندسّ [He, or it, became hidden, or concealed, in the earth or dust, or beneath a thing: he, or it, hid, or concealed, himself, or itself, in the earth &c.:] he, or it, became buried: he, or it, buried himself, or itself: (S, K:) or it became put in, or inserted, or it put in, or inserted, itself, beneath. (M.) b2: [Hence,] اندسّ فُلَانٌ إِلَى فُلَانٍ

يَأْتِيهِ بِالنَّمَائِمِ (tropical:) [Such a one came secretly to such a one, bringing him calumnies]: (TA:) or اندسّ الى فلان means (assumed tropical:) he came to such a one with calumnies. (Ham p. 219.) دَسٌّ Tar with which the arm-pits, and the inner parts of the roots of the thighs or other similar parts, of camels, are anointed. (TA.) دَسِيسٌ The concealment of guile or artifice. (S.) A2: One whom thou hidest, or concealest, (مَنْ تَدُسُّهُ,) in order that he may bring thee news, or information: (M, K:) accord. to some, similar to مُتَحَسِّسٌ; (M;) or مُــتَجَسِّسٌ; and called by the vulgar ↓ دَاسُوسٌ: (TA:) or دَسِيسُ قَوْمٍ signifies one whom a people send secretly to bring them news, or information; (A;) the spy of a people, who searches for, and then brings, news, or information; syn. جَاسُوس. (Msb.) b2: And دُسُسٌ [pl. of دَسِيسٌ] Persons hypocritical in their actions, who enter among the reciters of the Kur-án when they are not of them. (IAar, K.) دَسِيسَةٌ [app. The coming secretly to a person, bringing him calumnies: in modern Arabic, a secret machination or the like]. (TA, where, after the phrase اندسّ فلان الى فلان يأتيه بالنمائم, (see 7,) it is added, وَهِىَّ الدَّسِيسَةٌ.) دَسَّاسٌ That enters much, or often; wont to enter; syn. دَخَّالٌ: so in the saying, العِرْقُ دَسَّاسٌ [The natural disposition is wont to enter and actuate him in whom it is engendered: generally applied to him who has some fault derived from his mother, or the like; as is said in a marginal note in my copy of the TA: see عِرْقٌ].
