(K.) 5 تَفَرَّدَ see the next paragraph, in two places.7 انفرد and ↓ فَرَدَ signify the same: (S:) the latter, aor. ـُ [inf. n. فُرُودٌ,] is expl. by Lth as signifying He was, or became, alone, by himself, apart from others, or solitary: (T, L:) and thus انفرد بِنَفْسِهِ signifies.

(L.) 10 استفرد as intrans.: see 7.

A2: استفردهُ: see 7. b2: Also He found him alone, having no second person with him. (A.) [Hence, one says,] اِسْتَطْرَدَ فَجَدَّلَهُ لَهُمْ فَلَمَّا اسْتَفْرَدَ مِنْهُمْ رَجُلاً كَرَّ عَلَيْهِ [He fled, or wheeled about widely, from them, to turn again, by way of stratagem; and when he found a man of them alone, he returned against him, and threw him down upon the ground].

(Msb. See also فُرَادٌ, below.) You say, عَدَدْتُ الدَّرَاهِمَ

(K.) الفَرْدُ as an epithet applied to God means The Single; the Sole; the One; (T;) He who has no equal, or like; the Unequalled: (Lth, T, L:) but Az says, I have not found it so applied in the Sunneh; and no epithet should be applied to God except such as He has applied to Himself, or such as the Prophet has applied to Him.

(M, L. See, again, فُرَادٌ.)

And it is said in a trad., ↓ لاَ تُعَدُّ فَارِدَتُكُمْ, meaning Your ewe, or she-goat, that ye have set apart from the flock, or herd, that ye may milk her in the tent, or house, shall not be reckoned [among those for which ye are to pay the poorrate]: (A:) or the meaning is, what is over and above the فَرِيضَة [or fixed number of camels, &c., to be given in payment of the poor-rate] shall not be added to the latter and reckoned therewith. (L.) And in another it is said, ↓ لاَ يَغُلُّ فَارِدَتُكُمْ, expl. by Th as meaning Such of you as shall segregate himself, as, for instance, one or two, and gain spoil, shall resign it to the collective body, and not act unfaithfully by taking it for himself. (M, L.) And in another, فَمِنْكُمُ المُزْدَلِفُ صَاحِبُ العِمَامَةِ الفَرْدَةِ And of you is El-Muzdelif, he of the solitary turban: this was said of him because, when he rode, no one with him wore a turban, to show honour to him. (L.) b5: لَقِيْتُهُ فَرْدَيْنِ means I met him, we two being alone.

(T, L.)

(Kitáb Anwá el-'Arab, TA.) And الفَرْدُ is a name of The star (a) in the hinder part of the neck of الشُّجَاع [the constellation Hydra; which star is also called عُنُقُ الشُّجَاعِ]. (Kzw in his description of الشجاع.) b7: فَرْدٌ signifies also One side of a jaw: (M, L, K:) pl. أَفْرَادٌ. (M, L.) b8: And A sandal such as is termed سِمْطٌ, not patched, nor having a second sole added to it; (K;) a sandal having a single sole; not having a sole composed of two pieces of leather sewed together, one beneath the other; thus in the saying, يَا خَيْرَ مَنْ يَمْشِى بِنَعلٍ فَرْدِ [O best of such as walk with a single-soled sandal], meaning O best of the great men of the Arabs; for sandals were worn by the Arabs, exclusively of the foreigners; and thin sandals, only by the kings and chief persons of the former. (L.) b9: Also, and ↓ فَارِدٌ, A bull [app. a wild bull]. (Lth, T, L.

فَرْدَانُ: see فَرْدٌ, second quarter: b2: and see فُرَادٌ.

فَرَادَ; see the paragraph here following.

فُرَادٌ [is most properly regarded as a quasi-pl. n., rather than as a pl., of فَرْدٌ; and فُرَادُ is similar to it in meaning]. One says, جَاؤُوا فُرَاداً, and ↓ فُرَادَى, (S, M, K,) with tenween and without it, (S,) and فُرَادَ, (K,) like ثُلَاثَ and رُبَاعَ, (TA,) and ↓ فَرَادَ, and فِرَاداً [a pl. of ↓ فَرْدٌ,] and ↓ فَرْدَى, (K,) [and ↓ فُرَّاداً, perhaps thus by poetic license, see an ex. in a verse cited voce مُرْسِمٌ,] They came one by one; one at a time; (S;) one after another: (M, K:) Az relates that the Kilábees said, جِئْتُمُونَا فُرَاداً [Ye came to us one by one; or one after another]: and هُمْ فُرَادٌ وَأَزْوَاجٌ [They are separate persons and pairs], with tenween: and the Arabs said قَوْمٌ فُرَادُ, imperfectly decl., likened to ثُلاَثُ and رُبَاعُ, [A party composed of separate persons, disposed by ones, or one after another,] and ↓ فُرَادَى, which latter is said by Fr to be a pl.: (T, L:) and the sing. [he adds] is ↓ فَرَدٌ and ↓ فَرِدٌ and ↓ فَرِيدٌ and ↓ فَرْدَانُ: (T, K:) but ↓ فَرُدٌ, (so accord. to a copy of the T,) or ↓ فَرْدٌ, (so in the K accord. to the TA, [in the CK فُرْدٌ,]) in this sense, [i. e. in the pl. sense] is not allowable. (T, K.) فَرُودٌ: see فَرْدٌ, second quarter, in two places.

فَرِيدٌ: see فَرْدٌ, former half, in two places: and see فُرَادٌ. b2: Also i. q. شَذْرٌ [app. as meaning The beads that divide the other beads of a string]; (T, A;) in the language of the 'Ajam [app. meaning Persians] called جَاوَرْسَق [a word I do not find in any dictionary]: accord. to Ibráheem El-Harbee, شَذْر of silver, like pearls: (T:) or شَذْر that divide the pearls and gold: (M, L, K:) and pearls that are strung, and divided by other things interposed: (S, L, K:) or pearls that divide the pieces of gold in a necklace: (A:) one thereof is termed ↓ فَرِيدَةٌ: (T, M, A, L:) pl. فَرَائِدُ. (T, M, K.) And A precious, or highly-esteemed, gem; (M, L, K;) as also ↓ فَرِيدَةٌ; (K;) as though it were the only one of its kind; (M, L;) or so called because unequalled; or because [it is a pearl] found alone in its shell: (MF:) and as some say, (S,) ↓ فَرَائِدُ الدُّرِّ signifies the large pearls. (S, L.) b3: Also The intermediate vertebræ between the last of the six vertebræ that are next to the دَأْى [q. v.] of the neck and the six that are between these فَرِيد and the [rump-bone called the] عَجْب; as also ↓ فَرَائِدُ: (M, L, K:) or ↓ فَرِيدَةٌ [the sing.] signifies the vertebra that projects from the part, of the back of a horse, that is next to the lumbar vertebrœ; intervening between the dorsal vertebræ and the lumbar: it projects in some horses. (M, L.) فَرِيدَةٌ, and the pl. فَرَائِدُ: see the next preceding paragraph, in five places.

فُرَادَى: see فَرْدٌ, first sentence: and see also فُرَادٌ, in two places.

فَرَّادٌ One who sells, (T, A, L, K,) and one who makes, (M, L, K,) what are termed فَرِيد, (A, L, K,) i. e. (A) شَذْر. (T, A.) فُرَّادًا: see فُرَادٌ.

فَارِدٌ, and its fem. (with ة): see فَرْدٌ, near the middle, in nine places: b2: and again, near the end. b3: سُكَّرٌ فَارِدٌ Sugar of the best kind, and white. (K.) b4: And إِبِلٌ فَوَارِدُ [She-camels] which stallions do not resemble (لاَ تُشْبِهُهَا). (So in the O and K. [But the right reading is evidently I think, لا تَشْتَهِيهَا, which the Turkish translator of the K appears to have found in a copy of that work; and the meaning, therefore, which stallions do not desire. فَوَارِدُ is pl. of فَارِدَةٌ.]) مُفْرَدٌ: see فَرْدٌ, second quarter. b2: [Hence, as a conventional term, A single, simple, word or vocable;] an expression of which a portion does not denote a portion of its meaning: (KT:) [pl. مُفْرَدَاتٌ. b3: And Singular, as distinguished from dual and plural. b4: And مُفْرَادَاتُ الطِّبِّ The simples of medicine; medicinal simples.] b5: and مُفْرَدٌ signifies also A wild bull. (L. [See, again, فَرْدٌ, near the end.]) مُفْرِدٌ A female, (S, L,) a pregnant female, (A,) or a ewe or she-goat, (M,) or a woman, (K,) bringing forth one only: (S, M, A, L, K:) like مُوحِدٌ and مُفِذٌّ: (S, L:) opposed to مُتْئِمٌ. (A.) [See its verb, 4.]

ذَهَبَ مُفَرَّدٌ Pieces of gold (in a necklace, A) divided, one from another, by فَرِيد [q. v.], (M, A, L, K,) i. e., by pearls. (A.) مُفَرِّدٌ A rider having no other with him: (A:) or a rider having only his camel with him. (K.) b2: طُوبَى لِلْمُفَرِّدِينَ, occurring in a trad., (L,) means Good betide those who apply themselves to the study of practical religion, or the law, and withdraw from [the rest of] mankind, and attend only to the observance of the commands and prohibitions [of religion]: (IAar, T, * L, K, TA:) and (K, TA) it is also said to mean (TA) those who are devoted to the commemoration of the praises of God: (K, TA:) or, as expl. by the Prophet himself, those men and women who commemorate the praises of God much, or frequently: (TA:) also, (K,) or, as KT says in explaining the trad., (TA,) [and as his words are cited in the T,] those whose contemporaries in birth, (K, TA,) and the generation among which they were, (TA,) have perished, or died, while they themselves have remained, (K, TA,) commemorating the praises of God: but Az holds the explanation of IAar to be more correct than this of KT. (TA.) مِفْرَادٌ: see فَرْدٌ, near the middle of the paragraph.

المَفَارِيدٌ as a conventional term in lexicology signifies What have been uttered by only one of the Arabs: differing from الأَفْرَادُ, which signifies what have been transmitted from the Arabs by only one of the leading lexicologists. (Mz, 15th نوع.)

And hence,] فَغَرَ النَّجْمُ, (T, TA,) or النَّجْمُ ↓ أَفْغَرَ, (S, O,) i. e., الُّرَيَّا, (T, S, O,) The asterism, meaning the Pleiades, became overhead: [lit., made one to open his mouth:] (T:) this is in the winter: (S, O:) for when the Pleiades are in the midst of the sky, he who looks at them opens his mouth: (T, S, O:) or the Pleiades began to rise [after sunset, so as to be overhead in the middle of the night], in the winter. (TA.) A2: فَغَرَ also signifies It (the mouth) opened; (S, Mgh, Msb, K;) as also ↓ انفغر: (K:) and the latter is said of a blossom, or flower, in the same sense. (S, Msb, TA.) b2: And فَغَرَتِ السِّنُّ (assumed tropical:) The tooth showed its point; as though it broke forth to grow: but some say that its ف is substituted for ث, and Az inclines to think so [though ثَغَرَ differs much in meaning from فَغَرَ]. (TA.) 4 أَفْغَرَ and 7: see 1; the former in three places.

هُوَ وَاسِعُ فَغْرِ الفَمِ He is wide in the opening of the mouth. (Lth, O, K.) b2: And accord. to Lth, (O,) فَغَرٌ signifies also A rose when it opens: (O, K:) but it is thought by Az to be, in this sense, a mistake for فَغْوٌ, with و.

[in speaking of women] takes no account of the fem. ة: it is like فُقَرَآءُ applied to women. ” (TA.)

(Meyd, cited by Freytag.) b11: [See also the act. and pass. part. n.., below.]3 مُذَارَعَةٌ signifies The selling by measure with the cubit; not by number, and without knowing the measure. (K.) [In the CK, والجُزافُ is put by mistake for والجُزافِ.] You say, بِعْتُهُ الثَّوْبَ مُذَارَعَةٌ I sold to him the garment, or piece of cloth, by measure with the cubit. (TA.) b2: See also 1, in two places. b3: ذَرَاعْتُهُ, (TA,) inf. n. مُذَارَعَةٌ, (K, TA,) (assumed tropical:) I mixed with him in familiar, or social, intercourse; or became intimate with him: or I became copartner with him; or shared with him: syn. خَالَطْتُهُ. (K * TA.) 4 اذرع, (K,) inf. n. إِذْرَاعٌ: (S:) see 1, first sentence. b2: (tropical:) He exceeded the due bounds, or just limits, in speech, or talk; (S, K, TA;) he talked much; (S, TA;) as also ↓ تذرّع: (S, Msb, * K, TA:) J says, [in the S,] I am of opinion that it has originated from the stretching forth of the fore arm; for he who talks much sometimes does that; and ISd says the like. (TA.) b3: أَذْرَعَ ذِرَاعَيْهِ مِنْ تَحْتِ الجُبَّةِ and ↓ اِذَّرَعَهُمَا, He put forth, (K, TA,) and extended, (TA,) his fore arms from beneath the jubbeh: (K, TA:) or أَذْرَعَ ذِرَاعَيْهِ, and ↓ اِدَّرَعَهُمَا, [the latter with the د unpointed,] he drew forth his fore arms from the sleeves of a narrow-sleeved jubbeh: (Mgh:) the latter verb being of the measure اِفْتَعَلَ; (Mgh, K;) like اِذَّكَرَ, (TA,) or اِدَّكَرَ, (Mgh,) from الذِّكْرُ: (Mgh, TA:) the former accord. to one relation, the latter accord. to another, occurring in a trad. (Mgh, TA.) b4: اذرع also signifies He seized with the fore arm. (K.) b5: مَا أَذْرَعَهَا [How long, or large, is she in the fore arm!] is [from الذِّرَاعُ, being] of the same [anomalous] class as أَحْنَكُ الشَّاتَيْنِ [from الحَنَكُ]. (TA.) A2: اذرع قَيْئَهُ He (a man) emitted, or ejected, his vomit. (TA.) 5 تَذَرَّعَ see 1; first and second sentences: b2: and see also 4. b3: تَذَرُّعٌ also signifies The measuring a thing with the fore arm. (S, K.) [See also 1.] A poet says, (S,) namely Keys Ibn-El-Khateem El-Ansáree, (TA,) تَرَى قِصَدَ المُرَّانِ تُلْقَى كَأَنَّهَا تَذَرُّعُ خِرْصَانٍ بِأَيْدِىالشَّوَاطِبِ [Thou seest the fragments of the hard and pliant spears thrown as though they were what is seen in the measuring, with the fore arm, of rods of palm-sticks in the hands of the females who pare them]: (S, TA:) or, accord. to As, تَذَرَّعَ فُلَانٌ الجَرِيدَ signifies Such a one put the palm-sticks upon his fore arm, and pared them: and خِرْصَانٌ means, originally, rods of palm-sticks: and شَوَاطِبُ is pl. of شَاطِبَةٌ; meaning a woman who peels the عَسِيب, and then throws it to the مُنَقِّيَة, who removes all that is upon it with her knife until she has left it slender, when she throws it back to the شاطبة. (TA.) b4: Also, The splitting (تَشَقُّق [which is intrans., but I think it is a mistake for تَشْقِيق, which is trans.,]) of a thing into several oblong pieces of the measure of the cubit in length. (Ibn-'Abbád, K.) b5: تَذَرَّعَتِ المَرْأَةُ The woman split palm-leaves to make of them a mat. (IDrd, K.) Thus some explain the saying of Ibn-El-Khateem, quoted above. (TA.) b6: تَذَرَّعَتِ الإِبِلُ الكَرَعَ The camels came to drink of the rain-water and waded in it with their arms. (K.) A2: تذرّع بِذَرِيعَةٍ (tropical:) He obtained, or sought to obtain, access, or intimacy; or he ingratiated himself, or sought to ingratiate himself; by a means of doing so. (S, K, TA.) You say, also, تذرّع إِلَيْهِ (tropical:) He obtained, or sought to obtain, access to him; &c. (TA.) 8 اِذَّرَعَ or إِدَّرَعَ: see 4.10 استذرع بِهِ He concealed, or protected, himself by it, (namely a thing, TA,) and made it a ذَرِيعَة [q. v.] for him. (Ibn-'Abbád, K.) ذَرْعٌ, in its primary acceptation, has the signification explained in the first sentence of this article. (S, TA.) b2: [Hence, it is used in the sense of] (tropical:) Power, or ability; as also ↓ ذِرَاعٌ; (TA;) or a man's reach, or extent of power or ability. (Msb.) And hence the phrases, ضَاقَ بِالأَمْرِ ذَرْعُهُ, and ↓ ذِرَاعُهُ, (K,) and ضَاقَ بِالأَمْرِ ذَرْعًا, (S, Msb, K,) in which the last word is in the accus. case as an explicative, for the original form of the phrase is that first mentioned, (TA,) and sometimes they said ↓ ذِرَاعًا, (S, TA,) (tropical:) He was unable to do, or accomplish, the thing, or affair; as though meaning, he stretched forth his arm to it and it did not reach it; (S, TA; *) or these phrases are thus used because he who is short in the fore arm will not reach that which he who is long therein reaches, nor will the power of the former equal that of the latter; therefore they are proverbially applied to him whose power falls short of the attainment, or accomplishment, of an affair: (TA:) or he lacked strength, or power, or ability, to do, or accomplish, the thing, or affair, and found not any way of escape from what was disagreeable therein: (K:) or he was unable to bear, or endure, or undertake, the thing, or affair. (Msb.) You say also, مَا لِى بِهِ ذَرْعٌ, and ↓ ذِرَاعٌ, (tropical:) I have not power, or ability, to do it. (TA.) And كَسَرَ ذٰلِكَ مِنْ ذَرْعِى (tropical:) That disabled, hindered, prevented, or withheld, me from doing that which I desired. (TA.) And اِقْصِدْ بِذَرْعِكَ (tropical:) Deal thou gently with thyself; moderate thyself restrain thyself; i. q. اِرْبَعْ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ; (S, TA;) and let not thy soul, or mind, carry thee beyond thy measure or extent [of power or ability]. (TA.) And أَبْطَرْتُ فُلَانًا ذَرْعهُ (tropical:) I imposed upon such a one more than he was able to do: (S, TA:) but ذَرْعٌ also signifies (assumed tropical:) the body: and [accord. to IAar] أَبَطَرَنِى ذَرْعِى means (tropical:) He wasted my body, and cut off my means of subsistence. (TA.) [See also art. بطر.] You likewise say, رَجُلٌ

↓ رَحْبُ الذِّرَاعِ [and الذَّرْعِ] (tropical:) A man having ample strength, and power, and might in war or fight, courage, valour, or prowess. (TA. [See also رَحْبٌ.]) And ضَعِيفُ الذَّرْعِ (tropical:) Impotent. (KL.) b3: And hence, فُلَانٌ خَالِى الذَّرْعِ (tropical:) Such a one has his heart devoid of anxieties, or solicitudes, and griefs; because the heart is sometimes one of the seats of power: or it may mean, agreeably with the original signification of ذَرْعٌ, such a one is free from the causes of occupation which require the stretching forth of the fore arm and extending of the hand. (Har p. 131.) and رَجُلٌ وَاسِعٌ الذَّرْعِ, and ↓ الذِّرَاعِ, (tropical:) A man large, or liberal, in disposition. (K.) And كَبُرَ فِى ذَرْعِى (assumed tropical:) Its occurrence, or befalling, was of great moment, momentous, grievous, or distressing, to me. (TA.) b4: ذَرْعٌ also signifies The measure of anything: and نَخْلَةٌ ذَرْعُ رَجَلٍ, A palm-tree of the measure of the stature of a man. (TA.) ذَرَعٌ A coveting; desiring eagerly; or lusting. (S, K.) [Perhaps an inf. n. of which the verb is ذَرِعَ.]

ذَرِعٌ: see ذَرِيعٌ, in two places. b2: (assumed tropical:) That journeys by night and by day. (K.) b3: (assumed tropical:) Longtongued with evil speech. (K.) A2: (assumed tropical:) Good in social, or familiar, intercourse. (K, TA.) ذُرْعَةٌ: see ذَرِيعَةٌ.

ذَرَاعٌ (S, K) and ↓ ذِرَاعٌ (ISd, K) (assumed tropical:) A woman (S) light, or active, with the hands in spinning: (S, K:) or one who spins much; who has ability to do so. (TA.) ذِرَاعٌ, of a man, (Msb,) [The part] from the elbow to the extremities of the fingers; (Mgh, Msb;) the fore arm; syn. سَاعِدٌ [q. v.; thus corresponding to the سَاق of the leg]: (Lth, K:) and (tropical:) [the space] from the extremity of the elbow to the extremity of the middle finger: (M, Mgh, * K: [in the last of which, the space is plainly shown to be meant, like as the part is shown in the Msb to be meant in the explanation cited above from that work and the Mgh: see also جَرِيبٌ:]) in both these senses, sometimes masc., (K,) accord. to Kh: (TA:) J says, (TA,) as relating to the arm, it is masc. and fem.; but Sb says that it is fem.: (S, TA:) [Mtr says,] it is fem.: (Mgh:) [Fei says,] the measure so called is in most instances fem.: accord. to ISk, it is fem.; but some of the Arabs make it masc.: Fr says that it is fem.; but that some of [the tribe named] 'Okl make it masc.: As did not know an instance of its being masc.: and Zj says that such an instance is extr.; not choice: (Msb:) the measure thus called, [i. e. the cubit,] (Msb,) the ذِرَاعٌ مُكَسَّرَة [or cubit which is divided into fractions], (Mgh,) is six قَبَضَات [or fists] (Mgh, Msb) of middling measure; (Msb;) and this is called ذِرَاعُ العَمَامَّةِ [the cubit of the common people, or the common cubit], because it wants one قَبْضَة [or fist] of what is called ذِرَاعُ المَلِكِ [the cubit of the king], namely one of the Kisràs, (Mgh, Msb,) not the last of them, whose ذراع was seven قَبَضَات: (Mgh:) [see also مِيلٌ: it is also an astronomical measure; and as such, it seems, from several instances in which it is mentioned by Kzw and other writers, to be, probably, by rule, two degrees; nearly the half, or quarter, of the length assigned in different instances to the measure termed رُمْحٌ; but, like the latter, not precise nor uniform in every instance:] the dim. is ↓ ذُرِيَّعَةٌ, with ة because it is fem.; (TA;) or ↓ ذُرَيْعٌ [or ↓ ذُرَيِّعٌ, without ة, accord. to those who make it masc.]: (L voce حَرْبٌ:) the pl. is أَذْرُعٌ and ذُرْعَانٌ; (O, Msb, K;) or, accord. to Sb, the former only; (S, Msb;) and Sb adds, they have given it this form of pl. because it is fem.; meaning, that فِعَالٌ and فُعَالٌ and فَعِيلٌ, when fem., have the pl. of the measure أَفْعُلٌ. (TA.) In the phrase الثَّوْبُ سَبْعٌ فِى ثَمَانِيَةٍ [The garment, or piece of cloth, is seven cubits by eight spans], they say سبع because أَذْرُع is fem., and ثمانية because أَشْبَار is masc.; (S; [and the like is said in the Mgh;]) and because the length is measured by the ذراع, and the breadth by the شِبْر. (S in art. ثمن.) ذِرَاعٌ is also used as an epithet, applied to a masc. n.: thus they say, هٰذَا ثَوْبٌ ذِرَاعٌ [This is a garment, or piece of cloth, a cubit in length]. (Kh.) You say also, هُوَ مِنِّى عَلَى حَبْلِ الذِّرَاعِ It is prepared, or made ready, on my part: (S:) and هُوَ لَكَ عَلَى حَبْلِ الذِّرَاعِ I will pay it to thee in ready money: or it is prepared, or made ready, for thee: the حبل being a certain vein in the ذراع. (TA.) b2: [Hence several tropical significations:] see ذَرْعٌ, in six places: and see also ذَرَاعٌ. b3: Hence also, (Z, TA,) (tropical:) The instrument with which one measures the length of the ذراع [or cubit], (S, Z, O, Mgh, K,) made of a piece of wood, (Mgh,) or whether it be iron or a rod of wood. (O, K.) b4: [Hence also,] (assumed tropical:) A sleeve: as in the phrase ثَوْبٌ مُوَشَّى الذِّرَاعِ (assumed tropical:) [a garment, or piece of cloth, variegated, or figured, in the sleeve]: pl. ↓ مَذَارِعُ, a pl. not agreeing with its sing., like مَلَامِحُ and مَحَاسِنُ. (TA.) b5: Of the fore legs of bulls or cows, and of sheep or goats, [The arm; i. e.] the part above the كُرَاع: and of the fore legs of camels and horses and mules and asses, [likewise the arm; i. e.] the part above the وَظِيف: (K:) [also the arm-bone of any of the animals here mentioned:] accord. to Lth, (TA,) of any animal, [but this is by synecdoche, (assumed tropical:) the fore leg;] i. q. يَدٌ; (Msb, TA;) applying to the whole of whatever is called thus: (TA:) [thus, again, corresponding to سَاقٌ; this latter term, in like manner, having a proper and a synecdochical acceptation. Hence the prov.] لَا تُطْعِمِ العَبْدَ الكُرَاعَ فَيَطْمَعَ فِى الذِّرَاعِ [Feed not thou the slave with the shank, lest he covet the arm]. (K.) b6: [Hence,] الذِّرَاعُ, also called ذِرَاعُ الأَسَد (assumed tropical:) Two bright stars, which are one of the Mansions of the Moon: (S:) [there are two asterisms thus called; together, الذِّرَعَانِ: one of them is] الذِّرَاعُ المَبْسُوطَةُ, [also called ذِرَاعُ الأَسَدِ المَبْسُوطَةُ,] the two bright stars α and β] in the heads of Gemini: (Kzw in his description of Gemini:) [the other is called الذِّرَاعُ المَقْبُوضَةُ, and] ذِرَاعُ الأَسَدِ المَقْبُوضَةُ, the two bright stars α and β] of Canis Minor: (Kzw in his description of Canis Minor:) [hence it appears that the ancient Arabs, or many of them, extended the figure of Leo (as they did also that of Scorpio) far beyond the limits which we assign to it: the former ذراع accord. to those who make النَّوْءُ to signify “ the auroral rising,”

but the latter accord. to those who make it to signify “ the auroral setting,” is the Seventh Mansion of the Moon: the following descriptions in Kzw's account of the Mansions of the Moon, and in the O and K and TA, are obscure and inaccurate:] الذِّرَاعُ is one of the Mansions of the Moon, (O, Kzw, K,) and is called ذراع الاسد المقبوضة, (O, Kzw,) or ذراع الاسد المبسوطة: (K:) the lion has a ذراع which is مبسوطة and a ذراع which is مقبوضة, (O, Kzw, K,) and this is the one next to Syria, (O, K,) or on the left, (Kzw,) and in it the moon has a mansion; the مبسوطة being next to El-Yemen, (O, K,) or on the right; (Kzw;) [but this description of their relative positions should be reversed, as is shown by what precedes and by what follows;] each being two stars, between which is the measure of a سَوْط [or whip]; (O;) and the latter is higher in the sky, and more extended, than the other, (O, K,) wherefore it is called مبسوطة; (O;) and sometimes the moon deviates, and so has a mansion in it: (O, K:) [it is said in the TA that الذراع is also a name of one of the asterisms (نُجُوم) of الجَوْزَآء; but this is the same that is called the مبسوطة:] it rises [at dawn] on the fourth of تَمُّوز [or July O. S.], and sets [at dawn] on the fourth of كَانُون الآخِر [or January, O. S.]: (O, Kzw: [and so in the K, except that in this last, it is erroneously said to set in كَانُون الأَوَّل:]) so says IKt: but Ibráheem El-Harbee says that it rises on the seventh of تمّوز, and sets on the sixth of كانون الآخر. (O, TA.) [See مَنَازِلُ القَمَرِ, in art. نزل; and see also نَوْءٌ, and نَكْبَآءُ.] The rhyming prosaist of the Arabs says, إِذَا طَلَعَتِ الذِّرَاعْ حَسَرَتِ الشَّمْسُ القِنَاعْ وَاسْتَعْلَتْ فِى الأُفُقِ الشُّعَاعْ وَ تَرَقْرَقَ السَّرَابُ فِى

كُلِّ قَاعْ [When the Dhiráa rises at dawn, the sun puts off the veil, and the rays ascend in the horizon, and the mirage flickers, or glistens, in every plain]. (TA.) And the Arabs assert that when there is no rain [at any other season] in the year, the ذراع does not break its promise, though it be but a بَغْشَة [or weak shower of rain]: (Kzw, TA:) [or] its نَوْء is approved, and seldom does it break its promise. (Kzw.) b7: ذِرَاعٌ also signifies (assumed tropical:) A certain mark made with a hot iron upon the arm (ذراع) of a camel: (S, K:) and is a mark of the Benoo-Thaalebeh in El-Yemen, and of some persons of the Benoo-Málik-Ibn-Saad.

ذَرِيعٌ Wide in step, (S, K,) and light, or active, in pace, or going; (K;) applied to a horse, (S, K,) and to a camel; as also ↓ ذَرُوعٌ: (K:) and quick: (S, Msb, K:) [and so ↓ ذَرِعٌ; for] ↓ ذَرِعَاتٌ, (S, O, K,) applied to the legs of a quadruped (قَوَائِمٌ), (S, TA,) signifies quick, (S, K,) wide in step, taking much of the ground: (O, K:) or, as some say, this last word signifies the legs of a beast, (TA,) like ↓ مَذَارِعُ, (S, K,) pl. of مِذْرَاعٌ. (K.) It is said of Mohammad, in a trad., كَانَ ذَرِيعَ المَشْىِ (assumed tropical:) He was quick, and wide of step, in walking. (TA.)
