فسط

فُسْطَاطٌ and فِسْطَاطٌ (S, M, Msb, K) and فُسَّاطٌ and فِسَّاطٌ and فُسْتَاطٌ and فِسْتَاطٌ, (S, M, K,) the ت in the last two, as it is not found in the pl., being a substitute for the [former] ط in فسطاط, or rather for the [latter] س in فسّاط, because it is more regular to change the latter of two identical letters than to change the former, and because the two identical letters in فسّاط are together, whereas the two identical letters in فسطاط are separated, (M,) and فُسْتَاتٌ and فِسْتَاتٌ, (K,) altogether eight different forms, but MF observes that Esh-Shiháb El-Kastalánee gives twelve, [which, however, he does not transcribe, the remaining four being probably with fet-h to the ف,] (TA,) A tent of hair [-cloth]: (S, Msb:) or a great tent: (Mgh:) or a kind of structure (M, Z) used in travelling, less than the سُرَادِق: (Z:) or the kind of structure called سُرَادِق: (K:) pl. فَسَاطِيطُ; (M, Msb, TA;) for which they did not say فَسَاتِيطُ. (M, TA:) b2: Hence فُسْطَاطٌ is applied to A city: (Z, TA:) any city: and particularly a city in which is the general place of assemblage of people: (TA:) a populous, or comprehensive, city; accord. to some: (Msb:) the place of assemblage of the people of a كُورَة [which means a city, and a district, or region], (Lth, Az, K,) around their general mosque: (Az, TA:) or you say, فُسْطَاطُ المِصْرِ, meaning the place of assemblage of the people of the مصر [or city], around their congregational mosque. (M.) فُسْطَاطُ [so in two copies of the S] is [a name of] The city of مِصْر [the metropolis of Egypt]: (S:) or الفُسْطَاطُ is also the proper name of مِصْرُالعَتِيقَةُ, (K, TA,) the city so called, (TA,) which was built by 'Amr Ibn-El- 'Ás; (K, TA;) the city of مصر in old times; as also الفِسْطَاطُ: (Msb:) and البَصْرَةُ. (TA.)

[See also فَتَكَ; and see other explanations below.] And فَنَكَ فِى

الكَذِبِ He persisted, or persevered, in lying: asserted by Yaakoob to be formed by transposition from فَكَنَ: and Aboo-Tálib says that ↓ فانك and ↓ فنّك, of which latter the inf. n. is تَفْنِيكٌ, signify he persisted, or persevered, in lying, and in evil; not in good; and denote the like of consecutiveness. (TA.)

(Ibn-'Abbád, O.) b4: And فَنَكَ فِى الأَمْرِ [not فانك as in the lexicons of Golius and Freytag, the latter of whom gives both forms of the v. in the sense here following, as does also the TK,] signifies also He entered into the affair. (K.) b5: And He mastered the affair, and overcame it. (O.) b6: فَنَكْتَ فِى لَوْمِى, and فيه ↓ افنكت, (both in the TA, but the latter only in the O,) Thou wast, or hast become, skilled in the blaming, or censuring, of me, and profuse, or immoderate, therein: so says Fr. (O, TA.) b7: And فَنَكَتْ and ↓ أَفْنَكَتْ She (a woman) blamed, or censured, and kept continually, or constantly, to blaming, or censuring, or to some other thing [or act]. (Lth, O, TA. *) b8: And the former, said of a girl, or young woman, She cared not for what she did nor for what was said to her. (Ibn-'Abbád, O, K.) This meaning has also been assigned to فَتَكَتْ. (TA.) b9: And فَنَكَ, (K,) inf. n. as above, (TA,) He lied, or said what was untrue; as also ↓ افنك. (K.) 2 فَنَّكَ see above, near the beginning.3 فَاْنَكَ see 1, first quarter: and near the middle, in two places.4 أَفْنَكَ see 1, in five places.

فَنْكٌ i. q. عَجَبٌ: (IAar, O, K, TA:) [it app. means A wonderful thing: for] IAar cites as an ex., وَلَا فَنْكَ إِلَّا سَعْىُ عَمْرٍو وَرَهْطِهِ بِمَا اخْتَشَبُوا مِنْ مِعْضَدٍ وَدَدَانِ [And there is not anything wonderful except the conduct of 'Amr and his near kinsfolk in their having taken without selection a sword commonly used for lopping trees, and one that was blunt]: (TA:) and ↓ فَنَكٌ signifies the same. (K, TA.) A2: Also Persistence, or perseverence; or the act of persisting, or persevering. (TA.) [In this and the following senses, it seems to be an inf. n. of which the verb is فَنَكَ; as is indicated in the TA.]

b2: And The act of overcoming. (O, K, TA.

(TA.) b2: See also فَنْكٌ.

الفَنِيكُ The مَجْمَع [or part in which is the symphysis] of the لَحْيَانِ [or two lateral portions of the lower jaw], (Lth, O, K, TA,) in the middle of the chin, (Lth, O, TA,) of a man; (Lth, O, K, TA;) this is when the word is used in the sing. form; (Lth, O; [see also الفَكُّ;]) and it is also called ↓ الإِفْنِيكُ; (Lth, O;) [and in like manner Aboo-'Amr Esh-Sheybánee explained what is meant by the upper فَنِيك as is stated by IF and in the O:] or the extremity [of each] of the لَحْيَانِ, at the place of the عَنْفَقَة [or tuft of hair that is between the lower lip and the chin;] (S, K;) also called ↓ الإِفْنِيكُ; but Ks knew not this: (S:) or the فَنِيكَانِ are the two extremities of the عَنْفَقَة: (O:) or (K, TA, in the CK “ and ”) the sing. signifies a bone [beneath the temple,] to which the shaving of the head reaches (عَظْمٌ يَنْتَهِى إِلَيْهِ حَلْقُ الرَّأْسِ): (K, TA:) and accord. to Lth, the dual signifies the two extremities of the [lower] jaw, of whatever has a jaw, that move in the act of chewing, below the temples: (O:) or, accord. to Sh, the two thin, rising bones, [app. the two coronoid processes of the jaw,] lower than the ears, between the temple and the ball of the cheek. (TA.) The lower فَنِيك is [app. The symphysis of the pubes; being] said by Aboo-'Amr Esh-Sheybánee to be the part where the two hip-bones meet together: (IF, O:) [hence, perhaps, and therefore it may be erroneously,] the فنيك is said by AA to be the root, or base, of the tail: (TA:) and it signifies, as also ↓ الإِفْنِيكُ, (IDrd, O, K,) the زِمِكَّى, (K,) or زِمِجَّى, [i. e. the place of growth, or the root, or the whole, of the tail, of a bird, or] of a young bird; as they assert; (IDrd, O;) but IDrd says, “ I will not pronounce it to be correct: ” (O:) and the dual signifies two bones cleaving together: when, in the female pigeon, they are broken, she does not retain her eggs [sufficiently], but excludes them prematurely. (Lth, O.) A2: See also فَنَكٌ.

(TA.) It is said in a proverb, أَسْرَعُ مِنْ لَحْسِ الكَلْبِ أَنْفَهُ [Quicker than the dog's licking his nose]. (S, A.) See also مَلْحَسٌ, below. b2: لَحِسَ الدُّودُ الصُّوفَ, (A, Mgh, Msb,) in measure like لَبِسَ, (Mgh,) or لَحَسَ, like مَنَعَ, (K,) inf. n. لَحْسٌ, (Mgh, Msb, K,) The worms ate the wool: (Mgh, Msb, K:) and in like manner, لحس الجَرَادُ الخُضَرَ (A, K) and الشَّجَرَ, (TA,) the locusts ate the green plants (K) and the trees.

لَحُوسٌ: see مِلْحَسٌ.

(TA.) 6 تخارس [He feigned himself dumb, or speechless,] is from خَرِسَ المَجْلِسُ: hence إِذَا شَهِدْتَ مَنْ لَا يَفْهَمُ عَنْكَ فَتَخَارَسٌ [When thou art present with, or beholdest, him who will not understand what thou sayest, then feign thyself dumb, or speechless].

خيط

1 خَاطَ, (Msb, TA,) first Pers\. خِطْتُ, (S,) aor. ـِ (Msb,) inf. n. خِيَاطَةٌ, (S, TA,) or this is a simple subst., (Msb, TK,) and the inf. n. is خَيْطٌ, (TK,) which is said in the K to be syn. with خِيَاطَةٌ, but this last is a mistake for خِيَاطٌ as signifying “thread,” (TA,) or “a thread,” (Az, TA,) though خِيَاطٌ is also syn. with خِيَاطَةٌ, (TA,) He sewed, sewed together, or sewed up, a garment, or piece of cloth; (S, Msb, TA;) as also ↓ خيّطهُ, inf. n. تَخْيِيطٌ.

(K.) It is said by Kr to be formed by transposition from الخَطْوُ: but this is a mistake; for, were it so, they would have said, خاط خَوْطَةً, not خَيْطَةً. (ISd.) Accord. to Lth, خاط ↓ خَيْطَةً وَاحِدَةً means (assumed tropical:) He made his journey [or a journey] without interruption. (TA.)

(TA.) Bedr Ibn-' Ámir El-Hudhalee says, أَقْسَمْتُ لَا أَنْسَى مَنِيحَةَ وَاحِدٍ حَتَّى تُخَيِّطَ بِالبَيَاضِ قُرُونِى (S, TA) [I swear that I will not forget the loan (here meaning the قَصِيدَة, Skr) of one (meaning Abu-l-'Iyál [with whom he was carrying on a controversy], Skr)] until the sides of my head become streaked with whiteness: (TA:) but some read تُخَيَّطَ; and Ibn-abeeb says that خَيَّطَ الشَّيْبُ الرَّأْسَ signifies (assumed tropical:) Whiteness of the hair, or hoariness, became conjoined and continuous upon the head, as though one part thereof were sewed to another: (IB, TA:) some read ↓ تَخَيَّطَ; and accord. to the K, you say, تَخَيَّطَ رَأْسُهُ بِالشَّيْبِ, meaning (assumed tropical:) His head became streaked, or marked as with threads, by whiteness of the hair, or hoariness: [the best reading seems to be تَخَيَّطَ, for تَتَتخَيَّطَ:] and some read تَوَخَّطَ [for تَتَوَخَّطَ, from تَوَخَّطَ as having the meaning here assigned to تَخَيَّطَ].

(S, K.) It is said in a trad., وَالمِخْيَطَ ↓ أَدُّوا الخِيَاطَ, meaning [Bring ye] the خَيْط and the needle. (TA.) And you say, ↓ أَعْطِنِى خِيَاطًا and نِصَاحًا, i. e. [Give thou to me] a single خَيْط. (Az, TA.)

(L in art. وسد.) تَبَيَّنَ الخَيْطُ مِنَ الخَيْطِ means (tropical:) [The night became distinct from the day: or] what is termed الخَيْطُ الأَبْيَضُ became distinct from what is termed الخَيْطُ الأَسْوَدُ.

[See بَرِيمُ الصُّبْحِ in art. برم.] b4: خَيْطُ بَاطِلٍ (tropical:) What is called لُعَابُ الشَّمْسِ and مُخَاطُ الشَّيْطَانِ, (S, TA,) which last is explained by Z and IB as meaning what comes forth from the mouth of the spider: (TA: [the author of which says that, accord. to this explanation, this term differs from لعاب الشمس: but in so saying he seems to be in error: both evidently signify gossamer:]) it was applied as a surname, or nickname, to Marwán Ibn-El-Hakam; because he was tall, and loose, or uncompact, in frame: (S:) or it signifies the air; syn. الهَوَآءُ [perhaps a mistranscription for الهَبَآءُ, occurring in another explanation hereafter]: (K:) or light entering from an aperture in a wall [into a dark place] (Th, K:) or خَيْطُ البَاطِلِ signifies the scattered هَبَآء [or atoms that are seen in the rays of the sun] entering from an aperture in a wall [into a dark place] when the sun is hot: and one says, فُلَانٌ أَدَقُّ مِنْ خَيْطِ البَاطِلِ (tropical:) [Such a one is less in estimation than the scattered atoms that are seen in the rays of the sun]; a prov., applied to him who is in an abject state; thus related, on the authority of Ahmad Ibn-Yahyà, by Az and others; but by Sgh, erroneously, أَرَقُّ مِنْ خَيْطِ بَاطِلٍ.

(TA.) خَيْطَةٌ [n. un. of خَيْطٌ, q. v. b2: Also,] in the dial. of Hudheyl, (S,) A wooden peg or stoke, (Skr, S, K,) which is fixed in a mountain, in order that one may let himself down [by means of a rope attached thereto] over against the place where [wild] honey is deposited [to gather it]. (Skr.) Aboo-Dhu-eyb says, (S, TA,) describing the gathere of honey, (TA,) تَدَلَّى عَلَيْهَا بَيْنَ سِبٍّ وَخَيْطَةٍ بِجَرْدَآءَ مِثْلِ الوَكْفِ يَكْبُو غُرَابُهَا (S, TA,) i. e. He let himself down [over against it, meaning the place of the honey, partly] by means of a rope (for so سِبّ signifies) and [partly by means of] a wooden peg or stake [to which the rope was attached, fixed] in a rock smooth like the [leather termed] وَكْف, i. q. نِطَع, [the crow of which rock would fall prone upon its face for want of something therein to which to cling:] (TA:) or (in the K “ and ”) خيطة signifies a rope; (As, Az, K, TA;) [and if so, سِبّ here means “ a wooden peg,” which is a signification assigned to it in the K in art. سب:] or, accord. to AA, a slender rope (S, L, TA) made [of the bark] of the tree called سَلَب: (L, TA:) and (accord. to some, TA) a string which is with the gatherer of honey, (K, TA,) and with which he pulls the rope [app. when he has detached himself from the latter to gather the honey], it being tied to him: (TA:) or a [tunic of the kind called]

مَخِيطٌ and ↓ مَخْيُوطٌ A garment, or piece of cloth, sewed: (S, Msb, K:) the ى in the former is the و of the measure مَفْعُولٌ, changed into ى because of its being quiescent and the preceding letter's being with kesr; the letter preceding it being made movent because it and the و are quiescent after the ى has fallen out; [for by dropping the ى it becomes changed from مَخْيُوطٌ to مَخْوْطٌ;] and it is made movent with kesr [and thus changed from مَخْوْطٌ to مَخِوْطٌ, which necessarily becomes مَخِيطٌ,] in order to its being known that the letter which has dropped out is ى: some say that the ى in مَخِيطٌ is the radical, and that the letter thrown out is the و of the measure مَفْعُولٌ, in order that the word with و [for its medial radical] may be known from that with ى; [so that it is changed from مَخْيُوطٌ to مَخْيُطٌ, and then to مَخْيْطٌ, and then to مَخِيطٌ;] but the former saying is the right, because the و is a formative augment, and it is not proper that such should be thrown out. (S.) b2: Also, the former, (assumed tropical:) The whole of the exterior of the belly. (ISh.) b3: And (assumed tropical:) A place of passage; (O, L, TA;) a meaning erroneously assigned in the K to ↓ خِيَاطٌ and ↓ مَخْيَطٌ: (TA:) and particularly, (tropical:) of a serpent; (TA;) the place of creeping along of a serpent.

It is said in the Kur [vii. 21 and xx. 119], وَطَفِقَا يَخْصِفَانِ عَلَيْهِمَا مِنْ وَرَقِ الجَنَّةِ; and ↓ يَخِصِّفَانِ, originally يَخْتَصِفَانِ, by some pronounced ↓ يَخَصِّفَانِ, (S, TA,) and by some, ↓ يَخْصِّفَانِ, with two quiescent letters together; (TA; [but this appears to be incorrect; see 8 in art. خصم;]) and ↓ يُخْصِفَانِ, from أَخْصَفَ; and ↓ يُخَصِّفَانِ, from خَصَّفَ; (Ksh and Bd in vii. 21, and TA;) thus accord. to different readings; i. e. (tropical:) And they betook themselves to sticking [or sewing] together, one to another, of the leaves of Paradise, to conceal therewith their pudenda. (S, TA.) And hence, also, the saying, in a trad., إِذَا دَخَلَ أَحَدُكُمُ الحَمَّامَ فَعَلَيْهِ بِالنَّشِيرِ

↓ وَلَا يُخَصِّفْ, i. e. (tropical:) [When any one of you enters the bath,] let him take the waist-wrapper, and not put his hand upon his pudendum: and like this in meaning is تخصّفه [app. a mistranscription for ↓ يَتَخَصَّفُ, or ↓ يَخِصِّفُ or the like, for يَخْتَصِفُ: if not, it must be ↓ تَخَصَّفَهُ, meaning he put his hand upon it]. (TA.) b4: [Hence also the saying,] فَمَا زَالُوا يَخْصِفُونَ أَخْفَافَ المَطِىِّ بِحَوَافِرِ الخَيْلِ حَتَّى لِحِقُوهُمْ (tropical:) And they ceased not to make the prints of the feet of the camels to be covered by the prints of the hoofs of the horses [until they overtook them]; as though they sewed these upon the others, like as one sews a sole by covering, or facing, one piece with another.

(S.) b3: Also (assumed tropical:) Fresh milk upon which is poured رَائِب [i.e. curdled, or thick, or churned, milk]: (S, K:) if dates and clarified butter are put into it, it is [termed] عَوْبَثَانِىٌّ.
