قرظ

1 قَرَظَهُ, aor. ـِ inf. n. قَرْظٌ, He tanned it, (Msb, TA,) namely, a skin, or hide, (Msb,) or a skin for water or milk, (TA,) with قَرَظ, q. v. infra: (Msb, TA:) or he dyed it therewith. (TA.) b2: He plucked it, or gathered it, from the tree; namely, what is called قَرَظ. (Msb.) A2: قَرَظْتُهُ a dial. var. of قَرَضْتُهُ, in the phrase قَرَظْتُهُ ذَاتَ الشِّمَالِ, q. v. (Fr, K.) b2: And [in like manner as a dial. var. of قَرَضْتُهُ,] I cut it, or made it and cut it according to a measure and pattern. (Fr.) A3: قَرِظَ, aor. ـَ He was, or became, a lord, master, chief, or man of rank or quality, after being in a base or abject state. (IAar, O, K; and T in art. قرض.) 2 قرّظهُ, inf. n. تَقْرِيظٌ, He took extraordinary pains, or exceeded the usual degree, in tanning it, namely, a skin, or hide, with قَرَظ. (Z.) b2: [and hence, (see 6,)] (tropical:) He praised, or eulogized, him, he, the latter, being living; (S, K, TA;) تَأْبِينٌ signifying the “ doing so when the man is dead; ” (S;) the former signifies he did so truly or falsely. (K.) And فُلَانٌ يُقَرِّظُ صَاحِبَهُ, and يُقَرِّضُهُ, (tropical:) Such a one praises his companion, falsely or truly. (Az, S, TA.) And يُقَرِّظُنِى بِمَا لَيْسَ فِىَّ (tropical:) [He praises me for that which is not in me]. (TA, from a trad.) b3: And He praised him immoderately: like فرّطهُ. (O in art. فرط.) b4: Also, [like قرّضهُ,] (assumed tropical:) He dispraised him: (Kitáb el-Addád, cited by Freytag:) or it relates only to praise and good; but تَقْرِيضٌ relates to good and to evil. (TA in art. قرض.) 6 هُمَا يَتَقَارَظَانِ المَدْحَ (tropical:) They two praise each other; (S, K, TA;) from 2 in the first of the senses assigned to it above; each embellishing the other like as the قَارِظ embellishes the skin, or hide; (Z, TA;) and يتقارضان is like it: (TA;) and you say also, هُمَا يَتَقَارَظَانِ الخَيْرَ والشَّرَّ [They two interchange good and evil, each with the other]; as also يتقارضان: (IKh, in TA, art. قرض:) or تَقَارُظٌ relates only to praise and good; but تَقَارُضٌ, to good and evil. (TA.) قَرَظٌ, accord. to some, (Msb,) The leaves of the سَلَم [mimosa flava], (Lth, S, Mgh, K,) with which they tan; (Lth, S, Mgh;) but this assertion is [said to be] inaccurate; for the leaves are called خَبَط, and camels are fed with them, and they are not used for tanning: some say, that it is a kind of tree; but this also is inaccurate; for one says, “I plucked, or gathered, قَرَظ; ” and trees are not plucked, or gathered: (Msb:) AHn [contradicts this, however, for he applies this word to a kind of tree, and] says, it is the best of things with which hides are tanned in the land of the Arabs; and these are tanned with its leaves and its fruit: [the pods of the سَنْط, which is also called قَرَظ, are used for tanning;] and in one place he says, it is a large kind of trees, having thick stems (سوق [app. a mistranscription for شَوْك, thorns,]) resembling the walnut-tree, [in the Mgh, evidently from the same source, “or, as some say, a large kind of trees, having thick thorns (شوْك), resembling the walnut-tree,”] the leaves of which are smaller than those of the apple-tree, and it has grains which are put into balances [for weights, like as are those of the carob-tree]: it grows in the low plains: (TA:) or a kind of tree, whereof the سَنْط [mimosa Nilotica, also called acacia Nilotica,] is a species: (M, K, in art. سنط:) [or,] correctly speaking, it is [the fruit, or seed with its pericarp, of that tree;] a well-known grain, which comes forth in envelopes, like lentils, from the trees called عِضَاه; (Msb;) or, [to speak more precisely,] the fruit of the سَنْط, whence is expressed أَقَاقِيَا [acacia, i. e. succus acaciæ]; (K;) which is termed عُصَارَةُ القَرَظِ, [and when inspissated, رُبُّ القَرَظِ,] and has an acrid property; the best thereof is that which is sweet in odour, heavy, hard, and green; and it strengthens relaxed members, when cooked in water, and poured upon them: (Ibn-Jezleh, TA:) [the last application is that which commonly obtains in the present day: see also 'Abd-el-Lateef, pp. 48-52 of the Arabic text, and De Sacy's translation and notes:] the n. un. is قَرَظَةٌ: (AHn, Mgh, Msb:) and the dim. of this is قُرَيْظَةٌ. (AHn, Msb.) Hence بِلَادُ القَرَظِ, applied to El-Yemen, because the قَرَظ grows there [most plentifully]. (S.) See also صَمْعٌ.

قَرَظِىٌّ The dye (صِبْغ [a mistranscription for دِبْع i. e. tan]) of the قَرَظ. (TA.) b2: See also مَقْرُوظٌ. b3: إِبِلٌ قَرَظِيَّةٌ Camels that eat قَرَظ. (TA.) b4: كبش قَرَظِىٌّ and قُرَظِىٌّ A ram of El-Yemen; because the قَرَظ grows there [most plentifully]. (S, K.) قَرَّاظٌ A seller of قَرَظ. (Msb, K.) قَارِظٌ A plucker, or gatherer, of قَرَظ. (S, Msb, K.) It is said in a proverb, (S,) لَا آتِيكَ أَوْ يَؤُوبُ القَارِظُ العَنَزِىُّ [I will not come to thee unless the gatherer of قرظ, of the tribe of 'Anazeh, return]: (S, K, but in the latter العنزى is omitted:) and Aboo-Dhu-eyb says, وَحَتَّى يَؤُوبَ القَارِظَانِ كِلَاهُمَا [And until the two gatherers of قرظ return, each of them]: (S:) the قَارِظَانِ were two men of the tribe of 'Anazeh, who went forth in search of قَرَظ, and did not return. (S, K.) We also find in the M, لَا آتِيكَ القَارِظَ العَنَزِىَّ, i. e. I will not come to thee as long as the gatherer of قرظ, of the tribe of 'Anazeh, is absent: القارظ العنزى being made to occupy the place of الدَّهْرَ, and being put in the accus. case as an adverbial expression, by an extension of the signification, of which there are parallel instances. (TA.) تَقْرِيظ: see 2. [Used as a subst., (tropical:) An encomium, or eulogy, on a living person: pl. تَقَارِيظُ and تَقْرِيظَاتٌ.]

مُقْرَظٌ: see what next follows.

مَقْرُوظٌ A skin, or hide, tanned with قَرَظ; (S, Msb, K;) as also ↓ قَرَظِىٌّ; and AHn mentions, on the authority of Aboo-Mis-hal, ↓ مُقْرَظٌ, as though from أَقْرَظَهُ, which, he says, we have not heard: (TA:) or dyed therewith. (K.) قرع قرف See Supplement

رو

أ2 روّأ فِى الأَمْرِ, (T, S, M, Mgh, Msb, K, &c.,) inf. n. تَرْوِئَةٌ, (S, Mgh, K,) or تَرْوِيَةٌ, (so in one of my copies of the S,) after the manner of a verb with an infirm final radical, like تَزْكِيَةٌ, inf. n. of زَكَّى, (TA,) and تَرْوِىْءٌ, (S, K,) agreeably with analogy; (TA;) and, accord. to IDrst, in his Expos. of the Fs, رَوَّى also is allowable; but the former is the original; or, accord. to the L, the former is anomalous, like حَلَّأْتُ in the phrase حَلَّأْتُ السَّوِيقَ; (TA;) He looked into the thing, or affair, or case; inspected it; examined it; considered it; or thought upon it; (S, M, Mgh, Msb, K;) and thought upon it repeatedly; syn. تَعَقَّبَهُ; (M, L, K, TA;) i. e. رَدَّدَ فِيهِ فِكْرَهُ; (TA;) not hastening to reply: (S, K:) and رَيَّأَ signifies the same; (K in art. ريأ;) i. q. فَكَّرَ; (T;) or, accord. to some, it is a mispronunciation. (MF.) b2: Hence, يَوْمُ التَّرْوِيَةِ The eighth day of [the month] Dhu-l-Hijjeh; originally with ء: its derivation from الرُّؤْيَةُ is a mistake; and its derivation from الرِّىُّ requires consideration. (Mgh.) [See 2 in art. روى.]4 أَرْوَأَ It (a place) abounded with the [kind of plant, or tree, called] رَآء: (Az, AAF, K:) or so أَرْوَأَتْ, said of land (أَرْض). (M.) رَآءٌ A kind of [plant, or] tree, (T, * S, M, K, &c.,) that grows in plain, or soft, land, (T, M, TA,) having a white fruit: or, as some say, a kind of dust-coloured tree, having a red fruit: (M, TA:) n. un. رَآءَةٌ: (T, S, M, K:) and dim.

↓ رُوَيْئَةٌ: (M, TA:) AHn says that the رآءة is not taller nor broader than a sitting man: and accord. to one of the Arabs of the desert of 'Omán, it is a tree that rises on a stem, and then there branch forth [so in the M, but accord. to the TA, rise,] from it round, rough leaves: others, he adds, say that it is a small tree of the mountains, resembling an عظلمة [q. v.], having a soft white flower like cotton: (M, TA: [but in the latter, the word rendered “ soft ” is omitted:]) some say that it is a species of the kind of tree called طَلْح [acacia, or mimosa, gummifera], and is the tree that grew at the cave in which were the Prophet and Aboo-Bekr: so say Suh and others: it is, they say, of the height of a man, and has white flowers, resembling cotton, with which cushions are stuffed, like feathers in lightness and softness: it is said by IHsh to be the same [tree] that is called أُمُّ غَيْلَان [see art. غيل]; but they have found fault with him. [for so saying]: it is not the عُشَر [asclepias gigantea], as one author has supposed; but a tree resembling this: (MF, TA:) such is the truth: the رآء is not the عشر: I have seen them both [says SM] in El-Yemen; and with the fruit of each of them cushions and pillows are stuffed: but the fruit of the عشر commences small; then increases to the size of the باذنجانة [or fruit of the egg-plant, and much larger, like a bladder]; and then breaks open, disclosing what is like cotton: and the fruit of the رآء is not thus: the عشر [he adds] is not found in Egypt; but it and the رآء are peculiar to El-Hijáz and the neighbouring parts; [in saying this, however, he errs; for I have seen the عشر in abundance in the deserts of the upper part of the Sa'eed;] and the saddles of camels &c. are stuffed with the fruit of the رآء in El-Hijáz. (TA.) b2: Also The foam of the sea. (AHeyth, K.) A2: And One of the letters of the alphabet. (TA.) [See the letter ر.]

A3: See also art. ريأ.

رَآءَةٌ n. un. of رَآءٌ. (T, S, M, K.) A2: See also رَايَةٌ, in art. رى.

رَوِيْئَةٌ, or, as some say, only رَوِيَّةٌ, without ء; (M;) the latter was the usual form, without ء; (S, Msb;) or each; (K;) a subst. from رَوَّأَ فِى; الأَمْرِ; (S, K;) meaning Inspection, examination, consideration, or thought; (S, * M, Msb, K; *) and repeated inspection or examination or consideration; (M, * Msb, K, * TA;) or consideration of the issues, or results, of an affair; (Msb;) without haste to reply. (S, * K, * TA.) You say, فُلَانٌ لَيْسَ لَهُ رَوِيَّةٌ [Such a one has no inspection, &c.]. (T.) It precedes what is termed عَزِيمَةٌ [i. e. resolution, or determination, &c.], and follows what is termed بَدِيهَةٌ [i. e. intuitive knowledge, &c.]: one has well said, بَدِيهَتُهُ تَحُلُّ عُرَى المَعَانِى

إِذَا انْغَلَقَتْ فَتَكْفِيهِ الرَّوِيَّهْ [His intuitive knowledge undoes the loops of meanings when they are fast closed, and inspection suffices him]. (Har p. 8.) [See also رَوِيَّةٌ in art. روى.]

رُوَيْئَةٌ dim. of رَآءٌ, q. v. (M, TA.) قَصيدَةٌ رَائيَّةٌ and رَاوِيَّةٌ and رَيِّيَّةٌ A قصيدة of which the رَوِىَّ is ر. (TA in باب الالف الليّنة.)

One says, in reviling, يَا ابْنَ الرَّطْبَةِ (tropical:) [O son of the fornicatress or adulteress]. (A.) and ↓ يَا رَطَابِ, like قَطَامِ, (tropical:) [meaning O fornicatress or adulteress, رَطَابِ, being indecl., as a proper name in this sense,] is said in reviling a woman or girl.

(TA.) رُطَبٌ [Fresh ripe dates; i. e.] ripe dates (A, Mgh, Msb, K) before they become dry; (Msb, TA;) also called ↓ تَمْرٌ رَطِيبٌ and ↓ مُرْطِبٌ (K, TA) and ↓ مُرَطِّبٌ: (TA:) the dates so called are well known: (S:) [it is a coll. gen, n.:] n. un. with ة: (S, Mgh, Msb, K:) it is not a broken pl. of رُطَبَةٌ, being masc. [as well as fem.] like تَمْرٌ: you say, هٰذَا رُطَبٌ [These are fresh ripe dates]; whereas, if it were a broken pl., you would make it [only] fem.: (Sb, TA:) its pl. [of pauc.] is أَرْطَابٌ (S, Msb) and [of mult.] رِطَابٌ; and the pl. of the n. un. is رُطَبَاتٌ. (S.) There are two sorts of رُطَب: one sort cannot be dried, and spoils if not soon eaten: the other sort dries, and is made into عَجْوَة [q. v.]. (Msb.) [See also بُسْرٌ.]

(Mgh.) رُطْبَةٌ: see رُطْبٌ: b2: and رَطْبَةٌ.
