(S, K, TA.) b2: ثَقُفَ, aor. ـَ is also said of vinegar (خَلٌّ), meaning It was, or became, very acid; and so ثَقِفَ. (TA. [But I suspect that this may have been taken from a MS. in which خُلٌّ has been erroneously put for رَجُلٌ. In the JK, I find رَجُلٌ ثَقِيفٌ وَقَدْ ثَقُفَ ثَقَافَةً.]) A2: ثَاقَفَهُ فَثَقَفَهُ, aor. of the latter ثَقُفَ: see 3. b2: ثَقَفْتُ الشَّىْءَ, aor. ـَ inf. n. ثَقَافَةٌ and ثُقُوفَةٌ, I was, or became, skilled in the thing.

(Msb.) ثَقِفَهُ, aor. ـَ (S, Msb, K,) inf. n. ثَقْفٌ, (S, K, *) or ثَقَفٌ, (Msb,) [but the former is better known,] primarily signifies, He perceived it, or attained it, by knowledge, or by deed: (Bd ii. 187:) or he perceived it, or attained it, by his sight, by expertness in vision: and hence, (Er-Rághib, TA,) (tropical:) he reached him, or overtook him, (IF, Msb, K, and Er-Rághib,) in war, or fight: (Msb:) or (K) (assumed tropical:) he found him: (S, K, and Bd in ii. 187 &c.:) or (assumed tropical:) he found him in the way of taking and overcoming: (Ksh in ii. 187:) or (K) (assumed tropical:) he took him, or it, (Lth, Msb, K,) namely, a thing: (Msb:) or (K) by implication, (Bd in ii. 187,) (assumed tropical:) he gained the victory, or mastery, over him; overcame him; (IDrd, Msb, K, and Bd ubi suprà;) or got possession of him. (IDrd, Msb, K.) It is said in the Kur [ii. 187 and iv. 93], وَاقْتُلُوهُمْ حَيْثُ ثَقِفْتُمُوهُمْ And slay ye them wherever ye find them: (Ksh, Bd, Jel, TA:) or wherever ye take them, or overcome them, or overtake them. (TA.) And exs. occur also in the Kur [iii. 108 and] viii. 59 and xxxiii. 61 [and lx. 2]. (TA.) For another ex., see 4, below. b4: ثَقِفَهُ also signifies He thrust him, or pierced him, [with a spear or the like,] namely, a man.

(Mgh.) b2: Hence, (Mgh,) (tropical:) He disciplined him, or educated him well, and amended him, or improved him. (Mgh, TA.) You say, لَوْلَا تَثْقِيفُكَ وَتَوْقِيفُكَ مَا كُنْتُ شَيْئًا (tropical:) [But for thy disciplining, or good educating, and amending, or improving, and thy teaching, I had not been anything].

(K, TA.) Er-Rághib says that this is metaphorical. (TA.) [Accord. to J,] المُثَاقَفَةُ is from ثَقُفَ in the first of the senses explained above. (S.) b2: ثِقَافٌ also signifies The contending with another: and particularly in fight, or with the sword: (K: [see also ثَقْفٌ, below:]) and the using of, or performing with, the sword; like ثِقَافَةٌ. (TA.) And ثاقفهُ, inf. n. مُثَاقَفَةٌ, He played with him with the sword, or some other weapon. (TA.) 4 أُثْقِفْتُهُ [I was made to gain the mastery over him, or to overcome him: or, which is virtually the same,] he was appointed for me [that I might have the mastery over him]. (Sgh, K.) 'Amr Dhu-l-Kelb says, فَإِنْ أُثْقِفْتُمُونِى فَاقْتُلُونِى

فَسَوْفَ تَرَوْنَ بَالِى ↓ وَإِنْ أَثْقَفْ And if ye [be made to] gain the mastery over me, i. e. if it be appointed for you to meet me [and overcome me], then slay me: but if I meet [you and overcome], then shall ye see my condition: but some relate it thus: وَمَنْ أَثْقَفْ, meaning but whom I meet, of you, I will slay him: (Skr, Sgh, TA:) [and J gives it thus:] فَإِمَّا تَثْقَفُونِى الخ [meaning And if ye meet me &c.].

(K.) You say also رَجُلٌ ثَقْفٌ لَقْفٌ and لَقِفٌ ↓ ثَقِفٌ, meaning A man who is a relater, a poet, an archer or a caster of the spear &c.: (Lth, JK, TA:) or light, active, quick, or sharp, and skilful: (S and K in art. لقف:) or quick in understanding what is said to him; and in taking what is thrown to him: or skilful in his art, or handicraft: (TA in that art.:) or a man who keeps, preserves, or guards, and manages, or orders, well, that which he possesses: (ISk, TA:) and Lh adds لَقِيفٌ ↓ ثَقِيفٌ: and Ibn-'Abbád, لِقِّيفٌ ↓ ثِقِّيفٌ.

[of pauc.] is أَثْقِفَةٌ and [of mult.] ثُقُفٌ. (JK, TA.) b2: [Also The handle of a shield of the kind called حَجَفَة: see إِخَاذَةٌ.]

أ1 وَبِئَتِ الأَرْضُ, (S, K,) aor. ـب (K, TA,) or ـْ (CK,) and تَوْبَأُ, (accord. to the K: in the (S and) L and other lexicons, only this last aor. is mentioned; but it is asserted on the authority of Az, who says that this form of the pret. is of the dial. of the Kusheyrees, that the aor. is تِيبَا, with kesr to the ت, [contr. to analogy,] TA,) inf. n. وَبَأٌ; (K;) or وَبَآءَةٌ; (S;) and وَبِيَت, aor. ـْ and تَوْبَا; (Moo'ab and Jámi') and وَبُؤَت, inf. n. وَبَآءٌ and وَبَآءَةٌ and أَبَآ and أَبَآةٌ (K, the و being changed into أ in the latter two); and with و without وَبُاَ, [i. e., وَبُوَت]; (Moo'ab and Jámi'] and وُبِئَت, (S, K,) like عُنِىَ, [i. e., pass. in form, but neut. in signification,] (K,) aor. ـب (L and other lexicons,) in which, the و being changed into ى, the vowel of the first letter necessarily becomes kesr, (TA,) or تُوبَأُ, (S,) inf. n. وَبْءٌ, (K, TA: in the CK وَبَأٌ,) or وَبَآءٌ; (S, L, &c.;) and ↓ أَوْبَأَت, (S, K,) inf. n. إِيبَآءٌ; (TA;) The land was, or became, afflicted with وَبَأ: (K:) or, much afflicted with disease. (S.) A2: وَبَأَ, aor. ـْ (K; contr. to rule, which requires that the aor. should be يَبَا; MF;) and ↓ وبّأ; He put the utensils, or goods, one upon another; or packed them up: or he prepared, set in order, or arranged, them; syn. عَبَأَ. (K.) A3: وَبَأَ إِلَيْهِ; (S, K: Ibn-El-Mukarram says, I think that Th has mentioned وَبَأْتُ, without tesh-deed; but I am not confident of it; TA;) and ↓ اوبأ, inf. n. إِيْبَآءٌ; (S, K;) dial. vars. of وَمَأَ and أَوْمَأَ; (S;) He made a sign to him: (S, K:) or اوبأ اليه signifies he made a sign to him with his fingers, forwards, that he should approach; and اومأ اليه “ he made a sign to him with his fingers, backwards, that he should retire, or remain behind. ” So accord. to the K; but this is at variance with what the leading lexicographers have transmitted. In the L it is said, وبأ اليه and اوبأ are dial. syns. of ومأ and اومأ he made a sign to him: or, accord. to some, اومأ اليه signifies “ he made a sign with his hand to him, (i. e., to a person before him,) turning his fingers towards the palm of his hand, in order that he should approach him; ” [in doing which, the palm of the hand is held towards the person beckoned;] and ↓ اوبا أليه he made a sign to him; (i. e., to a person behind him,) opening his fingers [from the palm] towards the back of the hand, in order that he should retire, or remain behind; [in doing which, the palm of his hand is towards himself]. El-Ferezdak says, تَرَى النَّاسَ إِنْ سِرْنَا يَسِيرُونَ خَلْفَنَا النَّاسِ وَقَّفُوا ↓ وَإِنْ نَحْنُ وَبَّأْنَا إِلَى

[If we journey on, thou seest the people journey on behind us; and if we make a sign to the people to remain behind, they stop, one after another]. ↓ أَوْبَأْنَا is also read in this verse for وَبَّأْنَا. Ibn-Buzruj says, that اومأ signifies “ he made a sign with the eyebrows, and the eyes; ” and ↓ وبّأ, he made a sign with the hands, and a garment, and the head. (TA.) b2: وَبَأَتْ إِلَيْهِ, aor. ـَ She (a camel) yearned towards it [i. e., towards her young one]; or uttered to it the cry produced by yearning: syn. حَنَّتْ. (K.) 2 وَبَّاَ see 1.4 اوبأ It became unwholesome: syn. صَارَ وَبِيْأً. (TA.) A2: See 1.

A3: أُوبِئَ He (a young weaned camel) suffered in the stomach from indigestion, in consequence of repletion. (K, TA.) A4: مَاءٌ لَا يُوبِئُ, like يُوبِى, Water that does not fail, or stop. The like is said of pasture. (TA.) 5 تَوَبَّاَ see 10.10 استوبا (S, K,) and ↓ توبّأ (TA) He found, or deemed, a country, (S, K,) or water, (TA,) unhealthy, or unwholesome: (K, TA:) [see وَبَأٌ:] or, much afflicted with disease.

(TA.) Accord. to Ibn-En-Nefees, it is a corruption happening to the substance of the air, by reason of causes in the heavens or the earth; as stinking water, and carcases, such as are the result of bloody battles. Accord. to the hakeem Dá-ood, it is a change effected in the air by events in the higher regions, as the conjunction of beaming stars; and by events in the lower regions, as bloody battles, and the opening of graves, and the ascending of putrid exhalations; with which causes conspire the changes of the seasons and elements, and the revolutions of the universe. They mention also its signs; among which are fever, small-pox, defluxions, itch or scab, tumours, &c. What is said in the Nuzheh necessarily implies that the طاعون is one of the different kinds of وبا; as the physicians hold to be the case: but the opinion which the critics among the professors of practical law and the relaters of traditions hold is, that these two diseases are distinct, the one from the other; the وبا being an unwholesomeness in the air, in consequence of which diseases become common among men; and the طاعون being that kind [of disease] with which men are smitten by the jinn, or genii: an opinion which they corroborate by the words in a trad. إِنَّهُ وَحْزُ أَعْدَائِكُمْ مِنَ الجِنِّ [Verily it is the unpenetrating thrusting of your enemies among the jinn]. (TA.) The pl. of وَبَأٌ is أَوْبَآءُ; and of ↓ أَوْبِيَةٌ, وَبَآءٌ (S, K, TA) or أَوْبِئَةٌ. (CK.) بِئَةٌ The state of a land being afflicted with وَبَأ. (K.) أَرْضٌ وَبِئَةٌ, and ↓ وَبِيْئَةٌ, (S, K,) and ↓ مَوْبُوْءَةٌ, (S, L,) and مُوبِئَةٌ, (S, K,) a land much, or often, afflicted with وَبَأ: (K:) or, much afflicted with disease. (S.) وَبَاءٌ: see وَبَأٌ.

وَبِىْءٌ Sick; unwell; (IAar:) See أرْضٌ وَبِئَةٌ. b2: وَبِىْءٌ Unwholesome water. (TA.) مُوبِئٌ Engendering وَبَأ. (TA.) b2: جُرْعَةَ شَرُوبٍ

أَنْفَعُ مِنْ عَذْبٍ مُوبٍ A draught of brackish water is more profitable than sweet water that engenders وَبَأ. (A trad.) Here the وَبُاَ is omitted in the last word to assimilate it to شروب. It is a proverb, applied to two men; one, superior in station, and more slim; the other, inferior in station, but more useful. (TA.) b3: See أَرْضٌ وَبِئَةٌ. b4: مُوبِئٌ Water that is little in quantity; and failing, or stopping. (K.) مَوْبُوْءَةٌ: see أَرُضٌ وَبِئَهٌ.

(S, K.) b2: It sometimes signifies He washed some one or more of his members: he purified his hand, or hands, and mouth, by washing, from the foul smell of fat, or greasy, food: he washed his hand. b3: Some say تَوَضَّيْتُ [for تَوَضَّأْتُ]; but this should not be said: (S:) it is of weak authority, or is viciously so pronounced: (K:) it is said to be of the dial, of Hudheyl. (TA.) b4: توضّأ, and توضّأت, He (a youth), and she (a girl), arrived at the age of puberty. (K.) إِضَاءٌ: see وَضِىْءٌ.

(S, K, TA.) AA says, that ↓ وَضُوْءٌ signifies “ the water with which one performs the ablution above mentioned; ” and he knew not وُضُوْءٌ [though it occurs in many traditions]: and A 'Obeyd disallows وَضُوْءٌ, and allows only ↓ وَضُوْءٌ. (TA.) وَضِىْءٌ, (S, K,) pl. أَوْضِيَآءُ and وِضَآءٌ; (K;) and ↓ وُضَّآءٌ, [S, K; in the CK, erroneously, وُضَّآءٍ;] pl. وُضَّاؤُونَ and وَضَاضِئُ; (K;) and ↓ وَاضِئٌ, (K,) which is used in the future sense, accord. to Lh, [like an act. part. n., though from a neut. verb,] as in the ex.

ميضَآءَةٌ: see what precedes.

مُتَوَضَّأٌ: see مِيضَأَةٌ. A privy; or place where one performs ablution. (K, TA, voce مَذْهَب, &c.)

أ1 وَكڤاَ see 8.3 واكأ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ He leaned upon his hands, or arms. Mohammad was seen to do so when he raised and extended his hands in supplication to God.

(S, K.) b2: أَتْكَأَهُ, (in which ت is substituted for و,) inf. n. إِتْكَاهُ, He propped him up by a cushion or other thing whereon to recline; made him recline upon a cushion &c. (Az, TA.) b3: ضَرَبَهُ فَأَتْكَأَهُ, (A,) or طَعَنَهُ حَتَّى أَتْكَأَهُ, originally أَوْكَأَهُ, (S,) (tropical:) He smote him, (A,) or pierced him, (S,) so that he made him fall in a reclining posture: (S, A, K: *) or, so that he threw him down upon his left side. (K.) b4: See 3.5 تَوَكَّاَ see 8.8 اِتَّكَأَ He sat in a firm, or settled, manner: and he sat leaning upon one of his sides: (Msb, in art. تكأ:) the vulgar know it only in the latter sense: but it signifies he leaned, rested, or stayed, his back, or his side, against, or upon, a thing: and he leaned, rested, or stayed, himself in any manner, upon a thing. (IAth, in Msb, art. وكأ.) b2: اِتَّكَأَ عَلَى شَىْءٍ, (S,) and ↓ توكّأ, (S, K,) and ↓ اوكأ; (K;) and ↓ تَكِئَ, [in which ت is substituted for و,] aor. ـْ inf. n. تَكْءٌ; (Lth;) and ↓ وَكَأَ; (CK;) He leaned, or reclined, upon a thing; supported, propped, or stayed, himself upon it.

A2: اِتَّكَأَتْ (MF) and ↓ تَوَكَّأَتْ (K) She (a camel) was taken with the pains of labour, and cried out. (K.) Accord. to Lth, تَوَكُّؤُ النَّاقَةِ signifies تصلّفها عند مخاضها: (TA:) [but it is evident that the right reading is تصلّقها; and the sense agreeable with the above explanation].

تُكَأَةٌ (in which ت is substituted for و, TA) A staff, or stick, (K,) upon which one leans in walking; a walking-stick: (TA:) that upon which one leans or reclines.

The meaning is not [only] “ inclining on one side,” as the vulgar among students imagine. (K.) مُتَّكَأ A place in which one reclines: (S:) a chamber, or sitting-room. (Akh, S.) b2: That upon which one leans, or reclines, in eating, drinking, or talking.

And وَلَجَ الشَّىْءُ فِى غَيرِهِ The thing entered into another thing. (Msb.) As is said in the S and L, Sb says that وَلَجَ has for its inf. n. وُلُوجٌ, which is of one of the measures of the inf. ns. of intrans. verbs, because the meaning [of وَلَجْتُ البَيْتَ] is وَلَجْتُ فِيهِ: and it is said in the M, that Sb holds the intermediate particle to be dropped: but Mohammad Ibn-Yezeed holds the verb to be trans. without an intermediate particle. MF observes, that Sb's words appear to make ولج a trans. verb, which no one asserts it to be: that if he mean that it has as its complement a noun in the acc. case as an adverbial noun of place, it is like دَخَلْتُ and other intrans. verbs: but if he mean that it governs a simple objective complement, like ضَرَبْتُ زَيْدًا, his opinion is not correct.

[xxii. 60; and other chapters,] يُولِجُ اللَّيلَ فِى النَّهَارِ وَيُولِجُ النَّهَارَ فِى اللَّيْلِ signifies He maketh the night, by increasing it, to enter into, [or encroach upon,] the day, and maketh the day, in like manner, to enter into, [or encroach upon,] the night: (Jel:) or He increaseth the night with a part of the day, by taking from the latter and adding to the former, and in like manner increaseth the day with a part of the night.

(TA.) b3: وَلِيجَةٌ (assumed tropical:) A particular, or special, intimate, friend, or associate, of a man; syn. خَاصَّةٌ (S, K) and بِطَانَةٌ (S) and دَخِيلَةٌ: (K:) by these syns. A'Obeyd explains it in the Kur. ix. 16: and it is applied to one and to more than one: (TA:) or one whom a person takes to rely upon, or to place confidence in, not being of his family: (K:) and so some explain the word in the verse above referred to: (TA:) or it there signifies an intimate friend who is one of the polytheists.

(M.) b2: وَسَطَ الشَّىْءَ also signifies He, or it, was, or became, in the best part of the thing, most remote from the two extremes. (TA.) And وَسَطَهُ He alighted, or took up his abode, in, or among, the best, or most generous, thereof. (M.) and وَسَطَ الرَّجُلُ قَوْمَهُ, and فِى قَوْمِهِ, inf. n. وَسَاطَةٌ, The man occupied, or held, a middle place, [meaning the best place, or one of the best places,] among his people, in respect of truth and equity. (Msb.) And وَسَطَ قَوْمَهُ فِى الحَسَبِ, aor. ـِ inf. n. سِطَةٌ, [He held a middle, or good, or the best, rank among his people in regard of grounds of pretension to respect.] (M.) And وَسُطَ فِى

حَسَبِهِ, [aor. ـْ inf. n. وَسَاطَةٌ and سِطَةٌ, [He held a middle, or good, or the best, rank in regard of his grounds of pretension to respect;] (M, TA;) and وَسَطَ signifies the same; (M;) and so does ↓ وسّط, (M, TA,) inf. n. تَوْسِيطٌ. (TA.) [See وَسَطٌ, below.]2 وسّطهُ, (K,) inf. n. تَوْسِيطٌ, (S, K,) He put it in the middle, or midst. (S, K.) b2: And [so in the S, but in the K “ or,”] He cut it [in the middle, or midst, i. e.] in two halves. (S, K.) [See the pass. part. n., below.] b3: [In the Kur, c. 5,] some read, فَوَسَّطْنَ بِهِ جَمْعًا [which may mean And have put in the midst, thereby, a company of the enemy: or have divided in two halves, thereby, &c.: or have thereby become in the midst of a company of the enemy]: (S, TA:) others read فَوَسَطْنَ. (TA.) See 1, first sentence. b4: وسّط فى حَسَبِهِ: see 1, last sentence.5 تَوَسَّطَ see 1, first sentence, in four places. b2: توسّط بَيْنَ النَّاسِ He mediated, or interceded, between the men, or people, for the purpose of accommodation; from وَسَطَ الرَّجُلُ قَوْمَهُ and فِى

قَوْمِهِ, explained above; (Msb;) or from وَسَاطَةٌ; (S;) he made mediation, or intercession, (عَمِلَ الوَسَاطَةَ,) between them. (K.) b3: توسّط also signifies He took what was of a middle sort, between the good and the bad. (K.) وَسْط, with the س quiescent, is an adv. n.; [as such written وَسْطَ, meaning In the middle of: in the midst of; or among;] (S, M, IB, Mgh, K;) and it is for this reason that it has its middle letter quiescent, (S, IB,) like بَيْنَ (IB) with which it is syn.; (IB, Msb;) [for] it may be used in any case in which بَيْنَ may be substituted for it; (S, IAth, K;) and, like بَيْنَ, it does not denote a part of the thing denoted by the noun to which it is prefixed, wherein differing from ↓ وَسَط. (S, IB, K.) You say, جَلَسْتُ وَسْطَ القَوْمِ (S, IB, Msb) I sat [in the middle of, or in the midst of,] or among, the people, or company of men, (IB, Msb;) not being one of them. (IB.) And وَسْطَ رَأْسِهِ دُهْنٌ [In the middle of his head is oil]; not meaning a component part of the head. (IB.) And it is said in a trad.

الجَالِسُ وَسْطَ الحَلْقَةِ مَلْعُونٌ [The sitter in the midst of the ring is cursed]: for he must of necessity turn his back towards some of those who surround him, and so displease them; wherefore they curse him and revile him. (IAth.) b2: It may not [properly] be used as a decl. n., (IB,) i. e. as an inchoative, (Mgh,) nor as an agent, nor as an objective complement; (IB, Mgh) &c.; thus, also, differing from ↓ وَسَط; unless it have the adverbial particle [فِى] prefixed to it; in which case it has the sense of وَسَط, and you say, جَلَسْتُ فِى وَسْطِ القَوْمِ and فى وَسْطِ رَأْسِهِ دُهْنٌ [like as you say جَلَسْتُ وَسْطَ القَوْمِ and وَسْطَ رَأْسِهِ دُهنٌ, explained above]: and sometimes it is used as a subst., preserving the quiescence [and the adverbial form], like as بَيْنَ is used as a subst. though virtually an adv. n., in cases like that where it is said in the Kur, [vi. 94,] لَقَدْ تَقَطَّعَ بَيْنَكُمْ [meaning مَا بَيْنَكُمْ, or, as explained in the Expos. of the Jel., وَصْلُكُمْ بَيْنَكُمْ]: (IB:) or وَسْط is sometimes used for ↓ وَسَط, improperly; (S;) or it may be so used; (Msb;) or it is so used by poetic license; (M;) or, as some say, each of them may take the place of the other; and this seems the most likely: (IAth:) or one says وَسْط, with sukoon, only, of that whereof the component parts are separate, or distinct, (IAth, K *,) such as a number of men, and beasts of carriage, &c.; (IAth;) and ↓ وَسَط, (IAth,) or both, (K,) of that whereof the component parts are united, (IAth, K *,) such as a house, and the head, (IAth,) or such as a ring: (K:) it is related, as on the authority of Th, that الشَّىْءِ ↓ وَسَطُ and وسْطُهُ [both meaning The middle, or midst, of the thing] are said when the thing is solid; but when its component parts are separate, or distinct, the word is وَسْطٌ, with sukoon, exclusively. (M.) وَسَطٌ [The middle, midst, or middle part, of a thing; i. e.,] properly, the part of which several lateral, or outer, portions are equal; as, for instance, the middle finger: but also meaning the part which is surrounded, or enclosed, on its several sides, although unequally: (Msb:) or the part that is between the two sides or extremities of a thing; (M, IB, Mgh, K;) [or the part, or point, that is between every two opposite extremities of a thing; and properly when equidistant;] as, for instance, the centre of a circle: (Mgh:) as also ↓ أَوْسَطُ, (M, K,) which is [likewise] a subst., like أَفْكَلٌ and أَزْمَلٌ [but imperfectly decl. because originally an epithet]: (M:) وَسَطٌ has its middle letter with fet-h in order that it may agree in measure with its contr., which is طَرَفٌ; the like agreement being frequent: (IB:) and it is only used in cases in which بَيْنَ may not be substituted for it, herein [and in other respects, mentioned in the next preceding paragraph,] differing from وَسْط: (S, IB, K:) [respecting the similar and dissimilar usages of وَسَط and وَسّط, sufficient observations have been made in the next preceding paragraph, which see throughout, and more especially in its latter part:] the pl. of وَسَطٌ is أَوْسَاطٌ; and that of its syn. ↓ أَوْسَطُ is أَوَاسِطُ; or this may be a pl. of ↓ وَاسِطٌ, and originally وَوَاسِطُ. (M.) You say, جَلَسْتُ فِى

وَسَطِ الدَّارِ [I sat in the middle, or middle part, of the house]; (S, Mgh, Msb;) because وَسَط is a subst. (S.) And إِتَّسَعَ وَسَطُهُ [The middle, or middle part, thereof, became wide]. (Mgh, Msb.) And ضَرَبْتُ وَسَطَ رَأْسِهِ [I smote the middle, or middle part, of his head]. (Mgh, * Msb.) And كَسَرْتُ وَسَطَ الرُّمْحِ [I broke the middle, or middle part, of the spear]. (IB.) And وَسَطُهُ خَيْرٌ مِنْ طَرَفِهِ [The middle, or middle part, thereof is better than the extremity]. (Mgh, Msb.) And خَيَرُ الأُمُورِ أَوْسَاطُهَا The best of affairs, or actions, or cases, are such of them as are between two extremes. (M. [See R. Q. 1, in art. حق.]) It is sometimes put in the accus. case as an adv. n.; as in the saying, جَلَسْتُ وَسَطَ الدَّارِ; but this is an instance of departure from the original usage; and [the meaning is جَلَسْتُ فِى وَسَطِ الدَّارِ signifying as explained above; so that] it is not here syn. with بَيْنَ, like as وَسْطَ is. (IB.) b2: It is also used as an epithet: (IB, Mgh:) [as such signifying Middle; intermediate; midway, or equidistant, between the two extremities or extremes; in place, or position: but in this sense superseded in usage by ↓ أَوْسَطُ and ↓ وَاسِطٌ and ↓ مُتَوَسِّطٌ: and in time; but in this sense also superseded in usage by ↓ أَوْسَطُ:] middling; of middle sort, kind, or rate; (Msb;) as also ↓ أَوْسَطُ (S, * M, Mgh, Msb, K) and ↓ مُتَوَسِّطٌ (M, Mgh, Msb) and ↓ وَسُوطٌ (M, TA) [and ↓ وَسِيطٌ]; between good and bad; (Msb, TA;) as also ↓ أَوْسَطُ: (Msb:) conforming, or conformable, to the just mean; just; equitable: (Zj, S, K:) good; (Zj, M, Msb, K;) as also ↓ وَسِيطٌ: (M:) most conforming, or conformable, to the just mean; most just; most equitable; applied to what is so of a thing; (S, M, K;) whatever it be; (S, K;) as also ↓ أَوْسَطَ: (M:) best; (Msb;) as also ↓ أَوْسَطُ: (S, * Msb, K *:) most generous: (M:) and when used as an epithet, it is applied alike to a masc., fem., sing., dual, and pl., subst.: (Mgh:) the fem. of ↓ أَوْسَطُ is وُسْطَى; (Mgh, Msb;) and the pl. masc. أَوَاسِطُ; and pl. fem. وُسَطٌ. (Msb.) Hence, (Msb,) ↓ الإِصْبَعُ الوُسْطَى (S, Msb, K) The middle finger. (Msb.) And ↓ اليَوْمُ الأَوْسَطُ [The middle day]. (Msb.) And ↓ اللَّيْلَةُ الوُسْطَى [The middle night. (Msb.) And ↓ العَشَرَةُ الأَوَاسِطُ, meaning The [ten middle] days. (Msb.) And العَشْرُ

↓ الوُسَطُ, meaning The [ten middle nights: not ↓ العَشْرُ الأَوْسَطُ; for this is a vulgar mistake, into which relaters of traditions have fallen; or it may be a mistake of transcription.
