(A, TA.) and تَعْسًا لَهُ وَنُكْسًا, and sometimes one says, نَكْسًا, (S, K,) in this case, (S,) for the sake of mutual resemblance, (S, K,) or because نَكْسًا is a dial form [of نُكْسًا], (S,) [meaning, (assumed tropical:) May he fall upon his face, or the like, (see art. تعس,) and relapse into disease: or] may he fall upon his face, and not rise after his fall until he fall a second time: and in like manner you say, ↓ تَعَسَ وَانْتَكَسَ.

(M.) b5: نَقْشُ العِذْقِ signifies The striking the raceme of dates with thorns, in order that the dates may ripen: (S, K:) or and their consequently ripening. (AA.) and one says, نُقِشَ العِذْقُ, meaning, The raceme of dates had specks apparent in it, in consequence of ripening. (S.) b6: And [hence, perhaps,] نَقْشٌ is used as (tropical:) syn. with جِمَاعٌ (S, A, Sgh, K,) accord. to AA, (S,) or IAar; (Sgh;) نَقَشَ signifying (tropical:) Inivit puellam. (T, K.) [This signification is mentioned in the A among those which are proper; but in the TA it is said, to be tropical.]

A2: Also نَقَشَ, (S, M, A, Msb,) aor. as above, (M, TA,) and so the inf. n., (S, M, Msb, K,) He extracted, or drew, or pulled, out, or forth, a thorn (S, M, A, Msb, K) from his foot, (S, M,) with the مِنْقَش or مِنْقَاش; (Msb, K; *) as also ↓ انتقش: (S, M, A, K:) thought by A 'Obeyd to be from المُنَاقَشَةُ; but others say the reverse: (TA:) and in like manner, bones from a wound in the head: (S, K:) and he plucked out (S, A,) hair, (A,) with the مِنْقَاش; (S, A;) as also ↓ انتقش.

فَتَقِى بِرِجْلِكَ رِجْلَ مَنْ قَدْ شَاكَهَا [Do not thou by any means extract from the foot of another a thorn, and so preserve, by (risking) thy foot, the foot of him who has pierced himself therewith]: the [former] ب is put in the place of عَنْ: he says, do not thou extract from the foot of another a thorn and put it in thy foot ?? (TA:) or مَنْ شَاكَهَا meanswho has entered among the thorns. (S and O, in art. شوك.) And it is said in a trad. of Aboo-Hureyreh, عَثَرَ فَلَا انْتَعَشَ وَشِيكَ فَلَا انْتَقَشَ [May he stumble, and not rise again; and may he be pierced with a thorn, and not extract the thorn]: (M, TA: *) the words meaning an imprecation. (TA.) See also 8, below. b2: [Hence,] نَقَشَ, aor. as above, (TA,) and so the inf. n., (K,) He cleared the nightly resting-place of sheep or goats from thorns and the like, (K,) or from what might hurt them, of stones and thorns and the like. (TA.) b3: Hence also, نَقَشَ عَنِ الشَّىْءِ, (TK,) inf. n. as above, (IDrd, K,) He explored the thing to the utmost. (IDrd, K, TK.) b4: [Hence also,] مَا نَقَشَ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا (assumed tropical:) He did not obtain from him anything: but the word commonly known is نَتَشَ. (M, TA.) See also 8.2 نَقَّشَ see 1, first sentence.3 ناقشهُ, (Msb,) or ناقشهُ الحِسَابَ, (S, * M, A,) and فِى الحِسَابِ, (A,) inf. n. مُنَاقَشَةٌ (S, M, Msb, K) and نِقَاشٌ, (M, TA,) He did the utmost with him, or went to the utmost length with him, in reckoning, (S, M, Msb, K,) so as to omit nothing therein: (A 'Obeyd:) A 'Obeyd thinks that نَقْشٌ signifying the “ extracting ” a thorn from the foot is from this; but others say the reverse; that the primary signification of مُنَاقَشَةٌ is the extracting a thorn from the body with difficulty; and that it then became [conventionally regarded as] a proper term in the sense of doing the utmost, or going to the utmost length, in reckoning; as observed by MF. (TA.) It is said in a trad., مَنْ نُوقِشَ الحِسَابَ عُدِّبَ, (S,) or هَلَكَ, (M,) He with whom the utmost is done in reckoning (S, M,) is punished, (S,) or perishes. (M.) See also 4. b2: [Hence,] ناقش الكَلَامَ (assumed tropical:) He picked out the faults of the language; syn. نَقَدَهُ.
