(Sh, T, L.) b3: اِمْرَأَةٌ سَرِيعَةُ اللَّقَحِ A woman quick in conceiving, or becoming pregnant. The like is said with respect to any female. Perhaps the word thus used has this signification properly, or perhaps tropically. (TA.) b4: أَسَرَّتْ لَقَحًا, and لَقَاحًا, She (a camel) concealed her having conceived, or become pregnant: i. e., she did not show signs of her having conceived by raising her tail and elevating her nose.

(L, K.) [See also لَقَاحٌ.

In the CK, for إِسْمُ مَا أُخِذَ الخ, we find اسم ماءٍ

اخذ الخ, giving a different and false meaning.]

A2: حَىٌّ لَقَاحٌ A tribe that does not submit to kings, (S, K,) and that has not been governed by a king: (L:) or, that has not suffered captivity in the time of paganism. (S, K.) b2: See 1.

لِقَاحٌ The semen genitale (L, K) of a stallion camel, and horse, and (tropical:) of a man. (L.) I'Ab, being asked respecting a man who had two wives, one of whom suckled a boy, and the other a girl, [not his own children,] whether the boy might marry the girl, answered “ No; because the لقاح [i. e., لِقَاح or ↓ لَقَاح, as shown below,] is one: ” meaning, says Lth, that the semen genitale which impregnated them both, and which was the source of the milk of both, was one, and that the two sucklings had thus become as though they were the children of the two women's husband: but, says Az, لقاح may here be a quasi-inf. n., syn. with إِلْقَاحٌ; like عَطَآءٌ and إِعْطَآءٌ &c.: (L:) [and the like is said in the Msb.]

↓ لَقَاحٌ and لِقَاحٌ, with fet-h and kesr, are substs. from أَلْقَحَ, [q. v.] syn. with إِلْقَاحٌ, signifying impregnation, or the getting with young; and so in the answer of I'Ab above mentioned. (Msb.) لَقُوحٌ A camel (S, K) itself: (S:) pl. لِقَاحٌ. (S, K.) b2: See لَاقِحٌ. b3: لَقُوحٌ and ↓ لِقْحَةٌ (S, Msb, K) and ↓ لَقْحَةٌ, (Msb, K,) applied to a she-camel, i. q. حَلُوبٌ [meaning Milch, and a milch camel]: (S, Msb, K:) but Az says, that the former only is used as an epithet; you say ناقة لَقُوحٌ, and not ناقةٌ لِقْحَةٌ, but هٰذِهِ لِقْحَةٌ فُلَانٍ: (TA:) or لَقُوحٌ is [an epithet] applied to a she-camel during the first two or three months after her having brought forth; and after this she is termed لَبُونٌ: (AA, S, K:) and accord. to some, ↓ لِقْحَةٌ signifies a milch camel abounding with milk: or a she-camel from the time when the hump of her young one becomes fat, until the expiration of seven months, when she weans her young one, and this she does at the [auroral] rising of Canopus: (TA:) [which rising, in central Arabia, about the commencement of the era of the Flight was between the 30th of July and the 12th of August:] also ↓ لِقْحَةٌ and ↓ لَقْحَةٌ a she-camel that has lately brought forth: (L:) pl. of لَقُوحٌ, لِقَاحٌ (S, Msb, K) and لَقَائِحُ; (ISh;) and pl. of ↓ لِقْحَةٌ (and of ↓ لَقْحَةٌ, K, TA,) لِقَحٌ (S, Msb, K) and لِقَاحٌ. (ISh, Th, Msb.) b4: The Arabs also said لِقَاحَانِ أَسْوَدَانِ [Two black herds of milch camels], like as they said قَطِيعَانِ; for they said لِقَاحٌ وَاحِدَةٌ in like manner as they said قَطِيعٌ وَاحِدٌ and إِبِلٌ وَاحِدَةٌ. (S.) b5: المُسْلِمِينَ ↓ أَدِرُّوا لِقْحَةَ (tropical:) Milk ye the milch camel of the Muslims: occurring in a trad., alluding to the tribute (فَىْء and خَرَاج) whence were derived the stipends and fixed appointments of the persons addressed, and to the collecting it with equity. (TA.) لَقَّاحٌ A fecundator of palm-trees. (Az, TA in art. جنى.) لاقِحٌ (IAar, S, K) and ↓ لَقُوحٌ (K) and ↓ مَلْقُوحَةٌ (Msb) A she-camel having just conceived, or become pregnant; (IAar, K;) as also قَارِحٌ: afterwards, when her pregnancy has become manifestly apparent, she is termed خَلِفَةٌ: (IAar:) pl. of the former لَوَاقِحُ (K) and لُقَّحٌ; (TA;) and of the second, لُقُحٌ. (L, K, TA: in the CK لُقَّحٌ.) b2: رِيَاحٌ لَوَاقِحُ (S, K, &c.,) (tropical:) Pregnant winds; so called because they bear the water and the clouds, and turn the latter over and about, and then cause them to send down rain; (TA;) or because they become pregnant, and then impregnate the clouds: (IJ:) the sing. is رِيحٌ لَاقِحٌ, the contr. of which is termed رِيحٌ عَقِيمٌ [or “ a barren wind ”]: (ISd:) or ريح لاقح signifies ذَاتُ لَقَلَاحٍ [possessing that which impregnates]; like as دِرْهَمٌ وَازِنٌ signifies ذُو وَزْنِ; رَجُلٌ رَامِحٌ, ذُو رُمْحٍ: (AHeyth:) or رياح لواقح signifies impregnating, or fecundating, winds; (S, K;) as also ↓ مَلَاقِحُ [pl. of مُلْقِحَةٌ]: (K:) or it is not allowable to say مَلَاقِحُ; (S;) but this is the regular form of the word; because the wind impregnates the clouds; (IJ;) and thus لواقح is extr.: or, as some say, the proper original word is مُلْقِحَةٌ; but the winds do not impregnate unless they are themselves pregnant; as though they were pregnant with good, and, when they raised the clouds, transmitted to them that good. (S.) b3: حَرْبٌ لَاقِحٌ (K) (tropical:) War pregnant [with great events.] (TA.) مُلْقِحٌ A stallion camel: pl. مَلَاقِحُ. (S, K.) b2: See لَاقِحٌ. b3: (tropical:) A man to whom offspring is born. Occurring in a trad. (TA.) مُلْقَحَةٌ A female camel that has her young one in her belly: pl. مَلَاقِحُ: (S, K:) a pass. part. n. from أَلْقَحَ. (Msb.) مَلْقُوحَةٌ (IAar, S, K, &c.) and مَلْقُوحٌ, (IAar,) which latter is also used in a pl. sense, (As,) What is in the belly of a she-camel: (A 'Obeyd, T, S, K, &c.:) or what is in the back of the stallion camel; [meaning his progeny in the elemental state;] (Aboo-Sa'eed, K;) but the former, says Az, is the correct signification: (L:) مَلْقُوحَةٌ is for مَلْقُوحٌ بِهِ, converted into a subst., (Msb,) from لُقِحَتْ, like مَحْمُومٌ from حُمَّ, and مَجْنُونٌ from جُنَّ: (S:) pl. مَلَاقِيحُ. (A 'Obeyd, S, K, &c.) The Muslims are forbidden to sell مَلَاقِيح and مَضَامِين. (L.) [See the latter of these words.] b2: المَلَاقِيحُ is also used (sometimes, TA) to signify The mothers: and its sing. is مَلْقُوحَةٌ. (K.) b3: See لَاقِحٌ.

خلع

1 خَلَعَهُ, (S, Mgh, Msb,) aor. ـَ (TA,) inf. n. خَلْعٌ, (S, Mgh, Msb, K,) He pulled it off; syn. نَزَعَهُ; (Mgh, Msb;) or stripped it off; or took it off; (TA;) or put it, or threw it, or cast it, off from him; (IAth;) namely, his garment, (S, IAth, Mgh, Msb,) عَنْ بَدَنِهِ from his body; (Mgh;) and his sandal, (S, Mgh, Msb,) عَنْ رِجْلِهِ from his foot; (Mgh;) &c.; (Msb, TA;) [as also ↓ اختلعهُ, as appears from its being said that]

اِخْتِلَاعٌ is syn. with خَلْعٌ: (TA:) accord. to some, خَلْعٌ is syn. with نَزْعٌ; but accord. to Lth, (TA,) the former is like the latter, except that the former is a somewhat leisurely action. (K, TA.) The phrase in the Kur [xx. 12], فَاخْلَعْ نَعْلَيْكَ is said to be used in its proper sense, [And do thou pull off, or put off, thy sandals,] because his sandals were of the skin of a dead ass: or, as the Soofees say, it is a command to stay; like as you say to him whom you desire to stay, “Pull off thy garment and thy boots,” and the like; and is tropical: (TA:) or, accord. to some, (assumed tropical:) make thy heart vacant from [care for] family and property. (Bd.) b2: خَلَعَ عَلَيْهِ, (B, TA,) and ↓ خَلَعَ عَلَيْهِ خِلْعَةٍ, (S, TA,) [He took off from himself, and bestowed upon him, a garment: and hence,] he bestowed upon him, or gave him, a garment; [generally meaning, a robe of honour;] the meaning of giving being inferred from the connective على, not from the verb alone. (B, TA.) b3: It is said in a trad. respecting 'Othmán, إِنَّ اللّٰهَ سَيُقَمِّصُكَ قَمِيصًا وَ إِنَّكَ تُلَاصُ عَلَى خَلْعِهِ, (L,) meaning (tropical:) Verily God will invest thee with the apparel of the office of Khaleefeh, (K and TA in art. قمص,) and thou wilt be urged with enticement, and solicited, to divest thyself of it. (TA in art. لوص.) b4: خَلَعَ الفَرَسُ عِذَارَهُ (assumed tropical:) The horse threw off his head-stall, or halter, and wandered about at random. (Mgh.) b5: [and hence,] خَلَعَ عِذَارَهُ [said of a man,] (tropical:) (tropical:) He threw off from himself his عذار, [meaning restraint,] and acted in a wrongful and evil manner towards others, with none to repress him. (TA.) b6: خَلَعَ أَوْصَالَهُ He removed its اوصال [meaning the bones so called, as is indicated by the context]. (TA.) b7: خَلَعَ مَالَ صَاحِبِهِ (tropical:) [He took away the property of his companion]; said of a person gambling with another. (A, TA.) b8: خَلَعَ قَلْبَ النَّاظِرِ إِلَيْهِ (assumed tropical:) [It drew away the heart of the beholder towards it]; said of the best of property. (Aboo-Sa'eed.) b9: خَلَعَ قَيْدَهُ (tropical:) [He took off his shackles; or] he released him from his shackles: and in like manner, خَلَعَ دَابَّتَهُ, and ↓ خلّعهَا, he released his beast from its shackles. (TA.) b10: خَلَعَ الرِّبْقَةَ عَنْ عُنُقِهِ (tropical:) He annulled his compact, or covenant. (TA.) b11: خَلَعَ يَدًا مِنْ طَاعَةٍ (tropical:) He [threw off his allegiance, or] forsook obedience to his Sultán, and acted in a wrongful and evil manner towards him: (TA:) obedience being likened to a garment which a man puts off, or throws off, from him. (IAth, TA.) b12: يُخْلَعُ المَيِّتُ [ for يُخْلَعُ الكَفَنُ عَنِ المَيِّتِ, like خَلَعَ الدَّابَّةَ (mentioned above) for خَلَعَ قَيْدَ الدَّابَّةِ,] The corpse shall have its grave-clothes pulled off from it. (Mgh.) b13: [In like manner you say,] خَلَعْتُ الوَالِى عَنْ عَمَلِهِ (tropical:) I removed the ruler, or governor, or the like, from his office; or deposed him. (Msb.) And خُلِعَ الوَالِى (tropical:) [The ruler, or governor, or the like, was divested of his authority; or] was removed from his office; or was deposed; (S, TA;) and so العَامِلُ [the agent, or the exactor of the poor-rates]; and الخَلِيفَةُ [the Khaleefeh]. (TA.) And خَلَعَ قَائِدَهُ (tropical:) [He divested his leader of his authority; or removed him from his office; or dismissed him]. (S, TA.) But IF says, This is scarcely, or never, said, except of an inferior who forsakes, or relinquishes, his superior; so that [خَلَعَهُ signifies, in a case of this kind, (tropical:) He threw off his allegiance to him; or forsook obedience to him; like another phrase, mentioned above; and] one does not say, [or seldom says,] خَلَعَ الأَمِيرُ وَالِيَهُ عَلَى بَلَدِ كَذَا [as meaning (assumed tropical:) The prince deposed his ruler over such a province, or the like]; but only, [or rather,] عَزَلَهُ. (TA.) b14: خَلَعَ امْرَأَتَهُ, (Az, S, Mgh, Msb,) inf. n. خُلْعٌ, with damm, (S, K, *) or this is a simple subst., (Az, Mgh, Msb,) and the inf. n. is خَلْعٌ, (Az, Msb, TA,) and some add خِلَاعٌ; (TA;) and ↓ خالعها, (Az, TA,) inf. n. مُخَالَعَةٌ; (K;) [and خِلَاعٌ seems to be another inf. n. of this latter verb, rather than of the former;] (tropical:) He divorced his wife (Az, Mgh, Msb, K) for a ransom given by her, (Msb,) or for her property given by her as a ransom to release herself from him, (Az, Mgh, TA,) or for a gift, or a compensation, from her, (K, accord. to different copies; some having بِبَذْلٍ; and others, بِبَبَدَلٍ;) or from another: (K:) because the wife is [as] a garment to the husband, and the husband to the wife, (Az, Mgh, Msb, TA,) as is said in the Kur ii. 183: (Az, TA:) [it is also said that] ↓ تَخَالُعٌ is syn. with خُلْعٌ: (K:) [but see 6, below:] and اِخْلَعْهَا, occurring in a trad., is explained as signifying Divorce thou her, and quit her. (TA.) b15: خَلَعَهُ أَهْلُهُ (tropical:) [His family cast him off, repudiated him, or renounced him;] so that if he committed a crime, or an offence rendering liable to punishment, they should not be prosecuted for it. (S, TA.) In the Time of Ignorance, when one said, (K, TA,) proclaiming in the fair, or festival, (TA,) يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ هٰذَا ابْنَى

(TA.) b2: And مُعَاتَبَةٌ signifies also The act of disciplining, training, exercising, or making tractable: it is said in a trad., ↓ عَاتِبُوا الخَيْلَ فَإِنَّهَا تُعْتِبُ i. e. Train ye horses for war and for riding, for [they will turn from their evil habits, or] they will become trained, and will accept reproof. (TA.) b3: and you say, عاتب الأَدِيمَ, meaning (assumed tropical:) He put the hide again into the tan. (T in art. ادم.) [See an ex. in a prov. cited voce أَدِيمٌ.]4 اعتبهُ, (K, TA,) inf. n. إِعْتَابٌ, with which ↓ عُتْبَى [q. v.] is syn.; (TA;) and ↓ استعتبهُ; He granted him his good will, or favour; regarded him with good will, or favour; became well pleased, content, or satisfied, with him. (K, TA.) In the following verse of Sá'ideh Ibn-Jueiyeh, شَابَ الغُرَابُ وَلَا فُؤَادُكَ تَارِكٌ ذِكْرَ الغَضُوبِ وَلَا عِتَابُكَ يُعْتَبُ

[The raven may become hoary but thy heart will not relinquish the remembrance of Ghadoob, nor will the reproof of thee be met with good will], the last word is expl. by يُسْتَقْبَلُ بِعُتْبَى [meaning as rendered above, or be regarded with favour, or be met by a return to such conduct as will make thy reprover well pleased with thee]. (TA.) b2: [Or] He made him to be well pleased, content, or satisfied: (S, A, O:) and the former verb is used in a contr. sense [or ironically] in the following verse of Bishr Ibn-Abee-Kházim, غَضِبَتْ تَمِيمٌ أَنْ يُقَتَّلَ عَامِرٌ يَوْمَ النِّسَارِ فَأُعْتِبُوا بِالصَّيْلَمِ [Temeem were angry because 'Ámir was slaughtered on the day of En-Nisár; so they were made contented by the sword:] i. e., we contented them by slaughter: (S, * O, * TA: [see also the Ham p. 196:]) [but the meaning may be, so they were made to return from their anger by the sword: that أُعْتِبَ sometimes signifies He was made to return appears from an explanation, in the K, of a phrase in the Kur xli. 23: see 10:] and أَعْتَبَنِى and ↓ اِسْتَعْتَبَنِى signify also He returned to making me happy, or doing what was pleasing to me, from doing evil to me: (S, O:) or he left off doing that for which I was angry with him, and returned to that which made me to be well pleased with him: (TA:) or the former signifies he removed, or did away with, [my] complaint and reproof; the ا having a privative effect: (Msb:) and أَعْتَبَهُ مِنْ شَكْوَاهُ means He caused him to be pleased or contented [and so relieved him from his complaint].

A2: اعتب and ↓ استعتب also signify He returned from doing an evil action, a crime, a sin, a fault, or an offence: or the former signifies he returned from doing evil to do that which made him who reproved or blamed him, or who was angry with him, to be well pleased with him. (TA.) It is said in a prov., مَا مُسِىْءٌ مَنْ أَعْتَبَ [He is not an evildoer who returns from his evil conduct]. (TA.) b2: And اعتب (K) and ↓ اغتتب (S, K) likewise signify He turned away, or turned back, or reverted, from a thing: (S, O, K:) and the latter is also expl. as meaning he turned back from a thing, or an affair in which he was engaged, to another thing, or affair: (S, O, K:) so accord. to Fr, (S, O, TA,) from the phrase لَكَ العُتْبَى signifying as expl. below (voce عُتْبَى) on his authority. (TA.) See also 3.

A3: أُعْتِبَ said of a bone that has been set is like أُتْعِبَ [meaning It was caused to have a defect in it, so that there remained in it a constant swelling, or so that a lameness resulted: see عَتَبٌ]: and تَعْتَابٌ [of which the verb may be either ↓ عُتِبَ or ↓ عُتِّبَ] has the meaning of its inf. n., إِعْتَابٌ. (TA.) 5 تعتّب عَلَيْهِ: see 1, first sentence. b2: Also He accused him of a crime, an offence, or an injurious action, that he had not committed. (TA.) b3: And you say, لَا يُتَعَتَّبُ بِشَىْءٍ He is not to be reproved, blamed, or censured, with anything [i. e. with any reproof &c.]. (K, * TA.) and لَا يُتَعَتَّبُ عَلَيْهِ فِى شَىْءٍ [No reproof, blame, or censure, is to be cast upon him in respect of anything]. (ISk, O, TA.) b4: See also 3.

One says, يَتَعَاتَبُونَ بِهَا ↓ بَيْنَهُمْ أُعْتُوبَةٌ [Between them is speech with which they reprove, blame, or censure, one another]. (S.) And إِذَا تَعَاتَبُوا أَصْلَحَ مَا بَيْنَهُمُ العِتَابُ [When they reprove one another in a friendly manner, the reproof rectifies, or sets right, what is amiss between them]. (S.) 8 إِعْتَتَبَ see 4, latter part: and see also مُعْتَتَبٌ. b2: اعتتب فِى طَرِيقِهِ He receded, or retreated, in his way, after proceeding therein for a while; as though in consequence of a difficulty (عَتَب) presenting itself. (TA.) b3: And اعتتب الطَّرِيقَ He quitted the even, or easy, part of the way, and took to the rugged part. (S, O, K.) b4: and اعتتب مِنَ الجَبَلِ He ascended the mountain. (S, O, K. [In the K is added, “and did not recoil from it: ” but this is a portion of the explanation of the verse here following.]) El-Hotei-ah says, إِذَا مَخَارِمُ أَحْنَآءٍ عَرَضْنَ لَهُ لَمْ يَنْبُ عَنْهَا وَخَافَ الجَوْرَ فَاعْتَتَبَا

i. e. [When prominences of bends of mountains present themselves to him,] he does not recoil from them, [but fears the turning aside,] and so ascends the mountain. (S, O.) b5: And اعتتب signifies also He pursued a right, or direct, course, syn. قَصَدَ, (S, IAth, O, K, [perhaps thus expl. in relation to the verse cited above,]) فِى الأَمْرِ [in the affair]. (K.) 10 استعتبهُ He asked him, petitioned him, or solicited him, to grant him his good will, or favour; to regard him with good will, or favour; to become well pleased, content, or satisfied, with him; (S, O, K;) or he desired, or sought, of him that he should return to making him happy, or to doing what was pleasing to him, from doing evil to him. (S.) And استعتب, alone, He asked, solicited, sought, or desired, good will, or favour; or to be regarded with good will, or favour. (S, Msb.) وَلَا هُمْ يُسْتَعْتَبُونَ, in the Kur xvi. 86, and xxx. 57, and xlv. 34. means Nor shall they be asked to return to what will please God. (Jel.) And وَإِنْ يَسْتَعْتِبُوا فَمَا هُمْ مِنَ الْمُعْتَبِينَ, in the Kur xli. 23, means And if they solicit God's favour, they shall not be regarded with favour: (Jel:) or if they petition their Lord to cancel their compact, [or to restore them to the world, He will not do so; i. e.] He will not restore them to the world; (O, K, TA;) knowing that, if they were restored, they would return to that which they have been forbidden to do: this is the meaning if we read the verb in the active form: otherwise, (O, TA,) reading يُسْتَعْتَبُوا [and مُعْتِبِينَ], as 'Obeyd Ibn-'Omeyr did, (O,) the meaning is, If God cancelled their compact, and restored them to the world, they would not [return from their evil ways, and] act obediently to God: (O, TA:) [for] b2: اِسْتَعْتَبْتُهُ also signifies I asked him, or desired him, to cancel a bargain, or compact, with me.

And العُتْبَى is [said to be] used when one does not mean thereby الإِعْتَاب, (S, O, TA,) i. e. in the contr. of its primary sense, (TA,) in the prov. لَكَ العُتْبَى

بِأَنْ لَا رَضِيتَ i. e. [بِلَا رِضَاكَ, as though meaning Thou shalt have content, or satisfaction, without thy being well pleased; or] I will content thee with the contrary of what thou likest: and in like manner the corresponding verb is [said to be] used in the verse of Bishr Ibn-Abee-Kházim cited above in the explanations of that verb: (S, O, TA:) [but the prov. here mentioned may be well rendered thou shalt return from thine evil way against thy wish; for,] accord. to Fr, العُتْبَى

مَعْتُوبٌ is for مَعْتُوبٌ عَلَيْهِ [i. e. Reproved, blamed, or censured; &c.]: Mtr says, it is said to signify مُفْسِدٌ [corrupting, rendering unsound, vitiating, &c.]; but I am not sure of it. (Har p. 77.) مُعْتَتَبٌ [is used, agreeably with analogy, in the sense of the inf. n. of اِعْتَتَبَ]. El-Kumeyt says, الشَّوْقُ مِنْ فُؤَادِى وَالش ↓ فاعْتَتَبَ شِعْرُ إِلَى مَنْ إِلَيْهِ مُعْتَتَبُ [And desire turned away from my heart, and my poetry unto him unto whom was its turning]. (S, O.) مُسْتَعْتَبٌ is used in the sense of [the inf. n. of اِسْتَعْتَبَ, meaning] اِسْتِرْضَاءٌ: thus in the saying, وَلَا بَعْدَ المَوْتِ مِنْ مُسْتَعْتَبٍ [And after death there is no asking, petitioning, or soliciting, favour of God]: for after death is the abode of retribution, not that of works.

عِلْبَآءٌ [perfectly decl., because the ء is a letter of quasi-coordination, i. e., added to render the word quasi-coordinate to the class of قِرْطَاسٌ and the like,] The عَصَب of the neck; [app. meaning the upper, cervical, tendinous portion of the trapezius muscle;] (S, O, K; [in all of which, mention is made of the علبآء of the camel, to which it seems to be most commonly applied, and also to that of a man;]) it is one of a pair, and between one علبآء and the other is the place of growth of the mane; (S, O;) Az explains it as specially applied to the thick عَصَب; and IAth, as the عَصَب in the neck, extending to the كَاهِل [or part between the two shoulder-blades]: ISd says that it is syn. with عَقَبٌ [q. v.]: (TA:) [it is also said that] it signifies the عَصَبَة [i. e. tendon, or sinew,] that extends in the neck: (Msb:) or the yellow عَصَبَة in the side (صَفْحَة) of the neck; one of a pair: (A:) and the عِلْبَاوَانِ in a man are [said to be] the two yellow tendons or sinews (العَصَبَتَانِ الصَّفْرَاوَانِ) in the مَتْن [or part next the spine, on either side,] of the neck: (Zj in his “ Khalk el-Insán: ”) [but of all the meanings thus assigned to it, the first seems to be the most proper, or at least the most usual: see Q. Q. 1:] the Arabs used to bind therewith, in the fresh, or moist, state, the أَجْفَان [or sheaths] of their swords, and also their spears when cracked, and it dried upon them, and became strong: (IAth, TA:) the word is masc., (Lh, TA,) or [it is masc. and fem., but] the making it fem. is preferred [though this is contr. to analogy]: (Msb:) the dual is عِلْبَاوَانِ (S, A, O, Msb) and عِلْبَا آنِ; (S, O, Msb, K;) [the former app. the more common, but the latter the more proper;] for the ء [in the sing.] is a letter of quasi-coordination [and therefore properly with tenween]; but if you will, you may liken it to the fem. ء that is in حَمْرَآءُ [of which the dual is more properly حَمْرَاوَانِ], or to the radical ء [or rather the ء that is substituted for the last radical letter] in كِسَآءٌ [of which the dual is more pro-perly كِسَا آنِ]: (S, O:) and the pl. is عَلَابِىُّ. (S, O, K.) You say of a man when he has become advanced in age, تَشَنَّجَ عِلْبَآءُ الرَّجُلِ [The علبآء of the man has become contracted]. (S, O.) b2: The pl. عَلَابِىُّ is expl. in the K as signifying also Lead: and in the S as signifying lead, or a kind thereof: (TA:) El-Kutabee says, “I have been told that العَلَابِىُّ signifies lead; but I am not sure of it: ” and Az says, “I know not any one who has said it, and it is not true; ” (O, TA;) and this is the case: (O:) MF observes that its explanation as signifying lead requires it to be a sing. of a pl. form, or a pl. that has no sing., like أَبَابِيلُ and عَبَادِيدُ: (TA:) in a trad., mention is made of swords of which the ornaments were العلابىّ and الآنُك; (O, TA;) and the coupling of these two words together has led to the supposition that the former means lead; but there is no evading the fact that it is the pl. of علبَآء meaning the عَصَب of the camel. (TA.) عُلْبُوبَةُ القَوْمِ The best persons of the people, or party. (Sh, O, K.) عِلَابٌ A mark made with a hot iron along the length of the neck [of a camel], (S, O, K,) upon, or over, the عِلْبَآء.

A2: And A piece that is broken off from a cooking-pot, (K, TA,) or from a drinking-cup or bowl, (TA,) and from anything; (K, TA;) as though it were one of ten pieces; (TA;) as also ↓ عُشَارَةٌ, (K, TA,) which signifies a piece of anything: (O, TA:) pl. of the former, أَعْشَارٌ [and pl. pl. أَعَاشِيرُ]; (TA;) and of ↓ the latter, عُشَارَاتٌ. (O, TA.) b2: [Hence, app.,] بُرْمَةٌ أَعْشَارٌ A cookingpot, or one of stone, broken in pieces: thus [we find the latter word] occurring in the pl. form [and used as an epithet]. (S, O.) And قِدْرٌ أَعْشَارٌ A cooking-pot broken into ten pieces: (K:) or a large cooking-pot, of ten pieces joined together by reason of its largeness: (A:) or a cooking-pot so large that it is carried by ten men, (K,) or by ten women: (TA:) or [simply] a cooking-pot broken in pieces; not derived from anything: (TA:) pl. قُدُورٌ أَعْشَارٌ, (A,) and أَعَاشِيرُ. (A, K.) And جَفْنٌ

أَعْشَارٌ [A scabbard of a sword, or a sword-case,] broken in pieces. (O.) And قَلْبٌ أَعْشَارٌ [(assumed tropical:) A broken heart.] (S, K.) And أَعْشَارُ جَزُورٍ The portions of a slaughtered camel [for which players at the game called المَيْسِر contend, and which are ten in number; not seven, as is said in one place in the TA. In Har p. 579, اعشار in this case is said to be pl. of عُشْرٌ; but I think that we have better reason for regarding it as a pl. of عِشْرٌ]. (Az, S, O, K.) Imra-el-Keys says, وَمَا ذَرَفَتْ عَيْنَاكِ إِلَّا لِتَضْرِبِى

بِسَهْمَيْكِ فِى أَعْشَارِ قَلْبٍ مُقَتَّلِ [And thine eyes did not shed tears but that thou mightest play with thy two arrows for the portions of a heart subdued and killed by the passion of love]: he means, by the two arrows, the two called المُعَلَّى and الرَّقِيب; to the former of which are assigned seven portions, and to the latter, three; so that both together gain all the portions; for the slaughtered camel is divided into ten portions: therefore he means that she has played for his heart with her two arrows, [alluding to the glances shot from her eyes,] and gained possession of it altogether: (Az, S, * O: * [see also a verse cited voce رَقِيبٌ:]) or accord. to some, he means that his heart had been broken, and then repaired like as cooking-pots are repaired: but Az says that the former explanation, which is mentioned by Th, pleases him more. (TA.) Hence the saying, ضَرَبَ فِى أَعْشَارِهِ وَلَمْ يَرْضَ بِمِعْشَارِهِ [He played for all the portions of it, and was not content with the fifth of it]; meaning he took the whole of it. (A.) b3: And أَعْشَارٌ alone means Cooking-pots that boil the ten portions [of a جَزُور]. (Har. p. 579.) A3: أَعْشَارٌ also signifies The primary feathers of the wing of a bird; (S, O, TA;) and so ↓ عَوَاشِرُ. (TA.) عُشَرٌ Three nights of the [lunar] month, [the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth,] after the تُسَع [q. v.]. (S, O.) A2: Also [The asclepias gigantea of Linnæus; or gigantic swallow-wort;] a species of tree [or shrub] in which is a substance answering the purpose of tinder, (K,) like cotton, (TA,) than which there is nothing better wherein to strike fire, and with which cushions are stuffed, (K,) on account of its softness: (TA:) [see رَآءٌ, in art. روأ:] accord. to AHn, (TA,) a large species of tree [or shrub], of the kind called عِضَاه, having a sweet gum, (AHn, S, O, *) and milk, (O,) and broad leaves, growing up high, (AHn,) from the flowers and shoots of which, (AHn, K,) or from the joints of the branches and from the places of the flowers whereof, (O,) there comes forth a well-known kind of sugar, (AHn, O, * K,) in which is somewhat of bitterness, (O, K,) called سُكَّرُ العُشَرِ; (AHn, TA;) [or this is a kind of red sugar, which falls like dew upon this tree; (Golius, from Ibn-Maaroof and the Mj;)] it produces also bladders, resembling the شَقَاشِق [or faucial bags] of camels, in which they bray, [blowing them out from their months, with a gurgling sound,] (AHn, TA,) [and] like the bladder of the smaller قَتَاد [q. v.]; (S, O;) and it has a blossom like that of the دِفْلَى, tinged, [but with what hue is not said,] and shining, and beautiful in appearance, as well as a fruit: (AHn, TA:) n. un. with ة: and pl. [of this latter] عُشَرٌ [or rather this is a coll. gen. n.] and عُشَرَاتٌ. (S, O.) [See also سَلَعٌ.]

عُشُرٌ: see عُشْرٌ.

عِشْرَةٌ Social, or familar, intercourse; fellowship; i. q. مُخَالَطَةٌ; (O, * K;) or a subst. from the latter word. (S, Msb.) Sometimes it governs as a verb, [like the inf. n.,] accord. to some grammarians, as in the following ex.: بِعِشْرَتِكَ الكِرَامَ تُعَدُّ مِنْهُمْ [By thine associating with the generous thou will be reckoned as one of them]. (I'Ak p. 211.) عَشَرَةٌ [Ten;] the first of the عُقُود; (A, K;) with ة, (Msb,) and with fet-h to the ش, (TA,) for the masc.; (Msb, TA;) and عَشْرٌ, without ة, (Msb, TA,) and with one fet-hah, (TA,) for the fem. (Msb, TA.) You say, عَشَرَةُ رِجَالٍ [Ten men]: and عَشْرُ نِسْوَةٍ [ten women]. (S, O, Msb, TA.) [In De Sacy's Arabic Grammar, for the former is inadvertently put عَشْرَةٌ; and for the latter, عَشَرٌ; and in Freytag's lexicon we find عَشَرٌ instead of عَشْرٌ.] عَشَرَاتٌ [is the pl. of عَشَرَةٌ: and also] signifies Decimal numbers. (M in art. ست.) The vulgar make عَشْرٌ masc., as meaning a number of days, saying العَشْرُ الأَوَّلُ, and العَشْرُ الأَخِيرُ; but this is wrong [unless thereby they mean to speak of nights with their days, as will be shown by what follows]: the month consists of three عَشَرَات; namely, العَشْرُ الأُوَلُ [The first ten nights. with their days], pl. of أُولَى; and العَشْرُ الوُسَطُ [The middle ten nights, with their days], pl. of وُسْطَى; and العَشْرُ الأَخَرُ [The last, lit. the other, ten nights, with their days], pl. of أُخْرَى; or العَشْرُ الأَوَاخِرُ [The last ten nights, with their days], pl. of آخرَةٌ. (Msb.) [العَشْرُ الأَوَاخِرُ is also especially applied to The last ten nights of Ramadán, with their days: and عَشْرُ ذِى الحِجَّةِ to The first ten nights of Dhu-l-Hijjeh, with their days: and العَشْرُ, alone, to The first ten nights of El-Moharram, with their days.] The Arabs also said, سِرْنَا عَشْرًا, meaning We journeyed ten nights, with their days; making the fem. [لَيَالٍ] to predominate over the masc. [أَيَّام]; as is the case in the Kur ii. 234. (Msb.) And أَيَّامُ العَشْرِ is used for أَيَّامُ اللَّيَالِى العَشْرِ [The days of the ten nights]. (Mgh.) [See some other observations applying to the syntax of عَشَرَةٌ and عَشْرٌ, voce خَمْسَةٌ. and respecting a peculiar pronunciation of the people of El-Hijáz, and a case in which عَشَرَة is imperfectly decl., see ثَلَاثَةٌ.] b2: [عَشْرٌ is also applied to A portion, or paragraph, of the Kur-án properly consisting of ten verses; but it is often applied to somewhat more, or less, than what is considered by some, or by all, as ten verses, either because there is much disagreement as to the divisions of the verses or for the sake of beginning and ending with a break in the tenour of the text: (see عَاشِرَةٌ:) pl. أَعْشَارٌ. These divisions have no mark to distinguish them in some MSS.: in others, each is marked by a round ornament at the end; or by the word عشر, or the letter ع, over, or over against, the commencement.] b3: When you have passed the number ten, you make the masc. fem., and the fem. masc. [to nineteen inclusively]: in the masc., you reject the ة in عَشَرَة; and from thirteen to nineteen [inclusively], you add ة to the former of the two nouns; and [in every case] you pronounce the ش with fet-h; and you make the two nouns one noun, [and, as such,] indecl., with fet-h for the termination: (TA:) you say, أَحَدَ عَشَرَ [Eleven], (S, O, Msb,) [and اِثْنَا عَشَرَ Twelve,] and ثَلَاثَةَ عَشَرَ [Thirteen], and so on; (Msb, TA;) with fet-h to the ش; and in one dial. with sukoon [أَحَدَ عَشْرَ, &c.]; (Msb;) or the former only: (S, O:) and, as ISk says, some of the Arabs make the ع quiescent, [as many do in the present day,] saying أَحَدَ عْشَرَ, and so on to تِسْعَةَ عْشَرَ [inclusively] except in the instance of اِثْنَا عَشَرَ and اِثْنَىْ عَشَرَ, because of the quiescence of the ا and ى; and Akh says that they make the ع quiescent because the noun is long and its vowels are many: (S, O) in the fem., you add ة to the latter of the two nouns, and reject the ة in the former of them, and make the ش in عشرة quiescent: you say إِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ (TA,) [and اِثْنَتَا عَشْرَةَ,] and so on to تِسْعَ عَشْرَةَ [inclusively]: and if you choose, you say إِحْدَى عَشِرَةَ, [&c.,] with kesr to the ش: the former is of the dial. of the people of El-Hijáz, [and is the more common,] and the latter is of the dial. of the people of Nejd: (S, O, TA:) but fet-h to the ش in this case is unknown to the grammarians and lexicologists, as Az says, though an instance has been adduced in an unusual reading of the Kur ii. 57, and another in vii. 160. (TA.) Every noun of number, from eleven to nineteen [inclusively], is mansoob, [or more properly speaking, each of the two nouns of which it is composed is indecl., with fet-h,] in the cases of refa and nasb and khafd, except that of twelve; for اِثْنَا and اِثْنَتَا are decl. [i. e. you say, in a case of nasb or khafd, اِثْنَىْ عَشَرَ and اِثْنَتَىْ عَشْرَةَ]. (TA.) b4: [In the same manner also عَشَرَ and عَشْرَةَ are used in the ordinal compounds,] عُشَرَآءُ A she-camel that has been ten months pregnant, (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K,) from the day of her having been covered by the stallion: she then ceases to be [of those] called مَخَاضً, and she is called عشرا until she brings forth, and also after she has brought forth, (S, O,) or when she has brought forth, at the completion of a year: or when she has brought forth she is termed عَاتِذٌ: (TA:) or that has been eight months pregnant: or, applied to a she-camel, i. q. نُفَسَآءُ applied to a woman: (K:) it is applied also to any female that is pregnant, but mostly to the female of the horse and camel: (IAth:) it is the only sing. word of this measure, which is a pl. measure, except نُفَسَآءُ: (MF:) the dual is عُشَرَاوَانِ: (S, O, TA; in one copy of the S عُشْرَاوَانِ:) and pl. عُشَرَاوَاتٌ; (S, O, K, TA; in one copy of the S, and in the CK عُشْراوات;) but some disallow this; (MF;) and عِشَارٌ; (S, O, Msb, K;) like as نِفَاسٌ is pl. of نُفَسَآءُ; (Msb;) and عُشَارٌ: (K in art. نفس:) or عِشَارٌ is applied to she-camels until some of them have brought forth and others are expected to bring forth. (K.) Some say that عِشَار have no milk; though El-Farezdak applies this term to camels that are milked, because of their having recently brought forth; and it is said that camels are most precious to their owners when they are عشار. (TA.) عَشَائِرُ, as pl. of عِشَارٌ, which is pl. of عُشَرَآءُ, signifies Gazelles that have recently brought forth. (O.) لَبَنٌ عُشَرِىٌّ Milk of camels that feed upon the عُشَر, q. v. (TA.) عِشْرُونَ Twenty; twice ten: (K:) applied alike to a masc. and a fem.: (Msb:) you say عِشْرُونَ رَجُلًا [Twenty men], and عِشْرُونَ امْرَأَةً [Twenty women: the noun following it being in the accus. case as a specificative]: (TA:) it is decl. with و and ى [like a pl. formed by the addition of و and ن]; (Msb;) and when you prefix it to another noun, making it to govern the latter in the gen. case, you drop the ن, (S, Msb,) and say, عِشْرُو زَيْدٍ [The twenty of Zeyd], (Msb,) and عِشْرُوكَ [Thy twenty], (S, O, Msb,) and عِشُرِىّ [My twenty], changing the و into ى [in this last case], because of the letter following it, and these incorporating: (S, O:) so says Ks; but most disallow this mode of prefixing in the case of a decimal number [of this kind], (Msb.) [It signifies also Twentieth.] It is not a pl. of عَشَرَةٌ, (so in a copy of the S and in the O and in the TA.) or عَشْرٌ, (so in another copy of the S,) [or perhaps the right reading is عِشْرٌ, as may be inferred from what will be presently added: but first it should be observed that if it were pl. of عَشَرَةٌ, or of عَشْرٌ, it would signify at least three times ten: some hold it to be a pl. of عِشْرٌ, saying, (TA.) as عِشْرٌ signifies camels' coming to water on the ninth day, they do not say عِشْرَانِ [for twenty], but they say عِشْرُونَ, (in the K, لَمْ يُقَلْ عِشْرَيْنِ وَقَالُوا عِشْرِينَ: but the correct reading seems to be لَمْ يَقُولُوا: TA: [in the CK it is more incorrect, لم يقل عِشْرِينَ وقالوا عِشْرَيْنِ:]) making eighteen days to be عِشْرَانِ, and the nineteenth and twentieth a portion of the third عِشْر; and so, [regarding the portion as a whole,] forming the pl. عِشْرُونَ; (K, * TA;) agreeably with a well-known license, which allows the calling two and a part of the third a pl: (TA:) this is the opinion of Kh and IDrd and some others: but J and most of the lexicologists hold that عِشْرُونَ is not a pl. of عَشَرَةٌ nor of عِشْرٌ nor of any other word, and their opinion I hold to be correct, applying as it does to the other similar nouns of number. (MF.) عُشَارَ Ten and ten; [or ten and ten together; or ten at a time and ten at a time;] (MF;) changed from عَشَرَة, (S,) or rather عَشَرَةً عَشَرَةً; as also ↓ مَعْشَرَ; (MF;) [for which reason, and its having the quality of an epithet, each is imperfectly decl.] You say, جَاؤُوا عُشَارَ عُشَارَ, (S, M, O, L, K,) and ↓ مَعْشَرَ مَعْشَرَ, (M, O, L, K,) and عُشَارَ once, and ↓ مَعْشَرَ once, (M, L, TA,) They came ten [and] ten. (S, M, O, L, K.) MF says that the repetition is manifestly wrong; but it is allowed by the M and L, as well as the K; [and is for the purpose of corroboration;] and مَعْشَرَ

↓ مَعْشَرَ is also authorized by the TS. (TA.) A'Obeyd says that more than أُحَادَ and ثُنَآءَ and ثُلَاثَ and رُبَاعَ has not been heard, except عُشَارَ occurring in a verse of El-Kumeyt. (O, TA.) [But خُمَاسَ is mentioned in the K.]

عَشِيرٌ: see عُشْرٌ, in three places. b2: Also A certain measure of land, a tenth of the قَفِيز, (O, Msb, K,) which is the tenth of the جَرِيب [q. v.]: (O, TA:) pl. أَعْشِرَآءُ. (TA in art. جرب.) A2: and An associate; i. q. مُعَاشِرٌ. (S, O, Msb, K.) b2: And A husband; (S, O, Msb, K;) because he and his wife are associates, each of the other. (S, O.) يَكْفُرْنَ العَشِيرَ means They are ungrateful to the husband. (Msb.) b3: And A wife. (Msb.) b4: And A relation. (K.) b5: And A friend. (K.) Pl. عُشَرَآءُ. (K.) b6: See also عَشِيرَةٌ.

A3: Also The cry of the ضَبُع [or hyena, or female hyena]: (K:) in this sense, a word not derived. (TA.) عُشَارَةٌ; and its pl.: see عِشْرٌ.

عُشَارِىٌّ A garment, or piece of cloth, (A, K,) ten cubits long. (S, A, Mgh, O, K.) b2: And A boy ten years old: fem. with ة. (TA.) عَشُورَى and عَشُورَآءُ: see عَاشُورَآءُ.

عَشِيرَةٌ A man's kinsfolk: (Bd and Jel in ix. 24:) or his nearer or nearest relations, or next of kin, by descent from the same father or ancestor: (K:) or a small sub-tribe; a small portion, or the smallest subdivision, of a tribe, less than a فَصِيلَة: (TA voce شَعْبٌ, q. v.:) or a tribe; syn قَبِيلَةٌ; (S, O, Msb;) a man's قَبِيلَة; (K;) as also ↓ عَشِيرٌ, without ة: (TA:) or a community, such as the Benoo-Temeem, and the Benoo-'Amr-Ibn-Temeem: (ISh:) a word having no proper sing.: (Msb:) accord. to some, from عِشْرَةٌ: accord. to others, from عَشَرَةٌ, the number so called: (Bd ubi suprà, and MF:) pl. عَشَائِرُ (Msb, K) and عَشِيرَاتُ. (Msb.) [See also مَعْشَرٌ.]

A2: عَشَائِرُ is also a pl. pl. of عُشَرَآءُ [q. v., last sentence]. (O.) عَشَّارٌ (S, O, Msb, K) and ↓ عَاشِرٌ (O, Msb, K) and ↓ مُعَشِّرٌ (TA) One who takes, or receives, the عُشْر [q. v.] of property. (S, Msb, K.) Where the punishment of the عَشَّار, or عَاشِر, is mentioned in traditions, as where it is said that the عَاشِر is to be put to death, the meaning is, he who takes the tenth as the people in the Time of Ignorance used to do: such is to be put to death because of his unbelief; or because, being a Muslim, he holds this practice to be lawful: but such as performed the like office for the Prophet and for the Khaleefehs after him may be thus called because of the relation of what he takes to the tenth, as the quarter of the tenth, and the half of the tenth, and as he takes the tenth wholly of the produce that is watered [only] by the rain, and the tenth of the property in merchandise [of foreigners, and half the tenth of that] of non-Muslim subjects. (TA.) [There is either a mistake or an omission in the last part of the statement above, in the TA, which I have rectified by inserting “ of foreigners ” &c.]

عَاشِرٌ: see عَشَّارٌ. b2: One says also, صَارَ عَاشِرَهُمْ [meaning he became the tenth of them]. (S, Msb, K.) عَاشِرَةٌ The circular sign which marks a division of an 'ashr (عَشْر) in a copy of the Kur-án: (O, L, K:) a post-classical term: (O, L:) pl. عَوَاشِرُ. (S, K.) b2: And عَوَاشِرُ القُرْآنِ means The verses that complete an عَشْر of the Kur-án. (K.) b3: and إِبِلٌ عَوَاشِرُ Camels coming to water after an interval of eight days; (S, O;) on the tenth day [counting the day of the next preceding watering as the first]: or on the ninth day [not counting the day of the next preceding watering: see عِشْرٌ]. (K.) A2: For another signification of the pl., عَوَاشِرُ, see عِشْرُ, last sentence.

A3: عَاشِرَةُ is a proper name of The ضَبُع [i. e. hyena, or female hyena]; a determinate noun: [but it has for] pl. عَاشِرَاتٌ. (O.) عَاشُورٌ: see what next follows.

عَاشُورَآءُ and ↓ عَشُورَآءُ (Msb, K) and عَاشُورَى (Msb, K) and ↓ عَشُورَى (K) and ↓ عَاشُورٌ, (Msb, K,) or يَوْمُ عَاشُورَآءَ (S, O, and K in art. تسع, &c.) or يَوْمُ العَاشُورَآءِ (S in that art., &c.) and يَوْمُ عَشُورَآءَ, (S, O,) The tenth day of the month El-Moharram: (S, Msb, K:) or the ninth thereof, (K,) accord. to some; but most of the learned, of old and late times, agree that it is the former; (Msb in art. تسع;) and Az says that by the ninth may be meant the tenth; after the same manner as the term عِشْرٌ, relating to camels' coming to water, is [said to be] applied to a period of nine days, [but means the coming to water on the tenth day, counting the day of the next preceding watering as the first,] as Lth says, on the authority of Kh. (TA.) Few nouns of the measure فَاعُولَآءُ have been heard. (Az, TA.) مَعْشَرٌ A company, or collective body, (Az, S, O, Msb, K,) of people, (S,) consisting of men, exclusive of women; like نَفَرٌ and قَوْمٌ and رَهْطٌ; (Az, Msb;) having no proper sing.: (Az:) or any company, or collective body, whose state of circumstances is one; a community; as the معشر of the Muslims and that of the Polytheists: (Lth:) or a great company, or collective body; so called [from عَشَرَةٌ,] because they are many; for عشرة is that large and perfect number after which there is no number but what is composed of the units comprised in it: (MF:) or the family of a man: or jinn (i. e. genii) and mankind: (K: [or the author of the K may mean, or jinn: and also mankind:]) in the Kur [vi. 130, and lv. 33], we find the expression يَا مَعْشَرَ الْجِنِّ وَالْإِنْسِ; but this means O معشر consisting of the jinn and of mankind: and [vi. 128], يَا مَعْشَرَ الجِنِّ, without the mention of الانس: (MF:) pl. مَعَاشِرُ. (S, Msb.) [See also عَشِيرَةٌ.]

A2: مَعْشَرَ: see عُشَارَ, in four places.

(K.) It is is said in a trad. of Aboo-Jahl, مُحَمَّدٌ وَجْهَهُ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِكُمْ ↓ هَلْ يُعَفِّرُ [Doth, or shall, Mohammad defile his face with dust, or rub his face in the dust, in the midst of you?], meaning his prostrating himself in the dust: and at the end he says, ↓ لَأَطَأَنَّ عَلَى رَقَبَتِهِ أَوْ لَأُعَفِّرَنَّ وَجْهَهُ فِى التُّرَابِ [I will assuredly trample upon his neck, or I will defile, or roll, his face in the dust]; meaning that he would abase him, or render him abject. (TA.) b2: He dragged him, being about to roll him in the dust: and you say ثَوْبَهُ فِى االتُّرَابِ ↓ اِعْتَفَرَ [He dragged his garment in the dust].
