برطل

Q. 1 بَرْطَلَ, (inf. n. بَرْطَلَةٌ, TK,) He placed a long stone (بِرْطِيلٌ) in the fore part (إِزَآء, q. v.,) of his watering-trough. (Lth, K.) A2: [He gave him a بِرْطِيل, or bribe;] he bribed him. (K.) And بُرْطِلَ He was bribed. (TA.) Q. 2 تَبَرْطَلَ He received a [بِرْطِيل, or] bribe. (K.) بِرْطِيلٌ A long stone: pl. بَرَاطِيلٌ: (S:) or a broad stone: (TA in art. برم:) or a stone (Seer, A, K) of an oblong form (A, TA) a cubit in length, (Seer, TA,) or an iron, long, broad, and hard by nature, (K,) not such as is made long, or sharpened or made sharp-pointed, by men, (TA,) with which the millstone is pecked (تُنْقَرُ [i. e., wrought into shape, and roughened in its surface, by pecking]): so says Lth: (TA:) to this is sometimes likened the muzzle, or fore part of the nose and mouth, of a she-camel of high breed: (Lth, TA:) [and hence,] it signifies also (assumed tropical:) the muzzle, or fore part of the nose and mouth, of an old bear: (TA:) some say that the dual signifies two elongated stones, of the hardest kind, slender, and sharp-pointed, with which the millstone is pecked (تُنْقَرُ [explained above]). (TA.) Also, (K,) accord. to Sh, (TA,) A pickaxe, or stonecutter's pick; syn. مِعْوَلٌ: (Sh, Msb, K:) pl. as above: accord. to IAar, what is called in Persian اسكنه [app. a mistranscription, or a dial. var., of إِسْكَنك]. (TA.) A2: A bribe; syn. رِشْوَةٌ: (Msb, K:) app. mentioned in the K as an Arabic word; and if so, the pronunciation with fet-h to the ب is a vulgarism, since there is no such measure as فَعْلِيلٌ: Abu-l-'Alà El-Ma'arree says that it is not known in this sense in the [classical] language of the Arabs; and it seems as though it were taken from the same word signifying “an oblong stone;” as though the bribe were likened to a stone that is thrown: (TA:) or it seems as though it were taken from the same word signifying a مِعْوَل; because therewith a thing is got out; (Msb;) and so El-Munáwee asserts it to be: (TA:) pl. as above. (Msb, K.) Hence the phrase, أَلْقَمَهُ البِرْطِيلَ [He tipt him the bribe; conveyed it to him in like manner as one puts a morsel into another's mouth; somewhat like our phrase he greased his fist]. (TA.) And the saying, البَرَاطِيلُ تَنْصُرُ الأَبَاطِيلِ [Bribes render victorious false allegations]: (Msb, TA:) a prov. (Msb.) مُبَرْطِلُ الرَّأْسِ A man having a long head. (A in art. كوز.)

دملج

Q. 1 دَمْلَجَ, (JM, TA,) inf. n. دَمْلَجَةٌ and دِمْلَاجٌ, (K, TA,) He made, or wrought, a thing, (K, JM, TA,) as, for instance, a bracelet, (TA,) evenly or equably, or justly or properly, (K, JM, TA,) and well. (JM, TA.) [And He made a thing round and smooth; like دَمْلَقَهُ: see the pass. part. n., below.] It is said in a trad., دَمْلَجَ اللّٰهُ لُؤْلُؤَهُ [God has made his pearls round and smooth]. (TA.) Accord. to Lh, دُمْلِجَ جِسْمُهُ signifies His body was, or became, rounded, or compacted, (طُوِىَ,) so that his, or its, flesh was firm, or hard. (TA.) دُمْلَجٌ and دُمْلُجٌ: see the next paragraph, in three places.

دُمْلُوجٌ (S, Mgh, K) and ↓ دُمْلُجٌ (S, K) and ↓ دُمْلَجٌ (K) An armlet; a bracelet for the arm; syn. مِعْضَدٌ; (S, Mgh, K;) i. e. the ornament thus called: (Mgh, TA:) pl. of the first دَمَالِيجُ; (S;) [and of the second and third دَمَالِجُ.] Yousay, أَلْقَى عَلَى دَمَالِيجَهُ [He put (lit. cast) upon me his armlets]. (S.) b2: Also the first and ↓ second A smooth stone. (TA.) b3: And [the pl.] دَمَالِيجُ Hard lands: (K:) so in the L and the Tekmileh. (TA.) مُدَمْلَجٌ i. q. مُدْرَجٌ أَمْلَسُ [Round, as though rolled like a scroll, and smooth]: (S, K:) and a stone, and a solid hoof, smooth and round; as also مُدَمْلَقُ and مُدَمْلَكٌ. (S in art. دملق.) A rájiz says, (S, TA,) namely, El-'Ajjáj, (so in a copy of the S,) كَأَنَّ مِنْهَا القَصَبَ المُدَمْلَجَا سُوقٌ مِنَ البَرْدِىِّ مَا تَعَوَّجَا [app. describing a certain animal, or animals, and meaning As though her, or their, round and smooth leg-bones were stalks of the papyrus, not crooked]. (S, TA.)

غربل

Q. 1 غَرْبَلَهُ, (S, MA, O, K,) inf. n. غَرْبَلَةٌ, (TA,) He sifted it; (MA;) i. q. نَخَلَهُ; (K;) namely, flour, &c., (S, O,) or earth, or mould.

(So in several copies of the K and in the TA.) b4: And غربل القَوْمَ He slew, and crushed [lit. ground], the people, or company of men. (K.)

يُغَرْبَلُ النَّاسُ فِيهِ (O, * TA) i. e. [How will it be with you when ye shall be in a time when men] shall be slain, and crushed? (TA:) or the meaning is, when the best of them shall be taken away and the worst of them shall remain; like as is done by the sifter of wheat? (O, TA:) or, in the opinion of Suh, as he says in the R, when they shall be searched to the utmost, and pursued one after another? agreeably with the saying of Mek-hool Ed-Dimashkee, دَخَلْتُ الشَّأْمَ فَغَرْبَلْتُهَا غَرْبَلَةً

حَتَّى لَمْ أَدَعْ عِلْمًا إِلَّا حَوَيْتُهُ [I entered Syria, and searched it to the utmost in such a manner that I left not a science but I acquired it]. (TA.) b5: And غُرْبِلَ القَتِيلُ The slain man became swollen, or inflated, and raised his legs. (TA.) غَرْبَالٌ [A sieve;] a certain thing well known; (S, O;) the thing with which one sifts: (K:) pl. غَرَابِيلُ.

Accord. to the Mgh and Msb, the م is an augmentative letter; but most of the lexicographers regard it as radical.] b2: [Hence,] رَشَحَ جَلْمَدُهُ, said of one known to be a niggard, meaning, (assumed tropical:) He gave something. (Har p. 95.) b3: and أَلْقَى عَلَيْهِ جَلَامِيدَهُ (assumed tropical:) He threw his weight (ثِقَلَهُ) upon him. (K.

كبرت

Q. 1 كَبْرَتَ بَعِيرَهُ He smeared his camel over with كِبْرِيت [or sulphur], (K,) mixed with grease, and with خَضَخَاض, which is a kind of نِفْط [or naphtha], black, and of a thin consistence; not قَطِرَان; for this is the black, thick, expressed juice of a certain tree. (TS.) This is done to cure the scab, for the removal of which it is very efficacious. (TA.) كِبْرِيتٌ [Brimstone, or sulphur;] a thing well known; (S, art. كبر;) one of the kinds of stone with which fire is kindled, or it (red كبريت TA) is a mineral whereof the mine is beyond EtTubbat, [or the country of Et-Tibbet, in Tartary,] in the Valley of the Ants, (K,) by which Solomon passed, (TA,) [as related in the Kur, xxvii. 18]: or [the product of] a spring, or source, whereof the water, when it congeals, becomes white, and yellow, and dusky-coloured, كبريت: (Lth, in the T:) MF says, I have seen it in several places; among these, in one which is near El-Maláleeh, between Fás and Miknáseh; by swimming in which, persons are cured of the venereal disease, and other disorders: also in Africa Proper, in the midst of Barkah, in a place called البرج; and in other places: (TA:) Aristotle says, that, among the different kinds of كبريت are the red, of an excellent colour; and the white, which resembles dust; and the yellow: the source of the red is in the West: it does not appear in its place: the yellow is found near the ocean, a league (or leagues, as in the TA,) from it: it is useful in cases of epilepsy, and apoplexy, and megrim, and palpitation: and it enters into the preparations of gold: the white blackens white substances; and it is sometimes mixed and concealed in the sources of running water, which sources have a fetid odour: the person who plunges into these waters in times when the air is temperate is cured by them of wounds, and swellings, and scab, and wind in the womb, and [the leprosy called] سَلَع, that arises from black bile: Ibn-Seenà [Avicenna] also says, that كبريت, untouched by fire, is one of the remedies for the leprosy (بَرَص): that, mixed with the gum of the turpentine-tree, it removes marks on the nails: that, mixed with vinegar, it removes the [leprous-like discolouration of the skin called]

بَهَق, and the ringworm, or tetter, (قُوَبَاء,) especially with the gum of the turpentine-tree: that, with natron and water, it is an embrocation for the بَرَص [or, as in the TA, for the نِقْرِس, or gout): and that fumigation therewith stops a rheum: and others say, that, if yellow كبريت be powdered, and sprinkled upon a place affected with سلعة, it has a good effect: that fumigation therewith whitens the hair: that serpents and fleas flee from the scent of it, especially if [mixed] with an unguent, or with the hoof of an ass; and that the fumigation therewith beneath a citrontree of the kind called أُتْرُجّ causes all the fruits of it to fall. (El-Kazweenee.) Several authors say, that the ت in كبريت is an augmentative letter, and that the proper place of the word is in art. كبر. IDrd thinks it to be not genuine Arabic. (TA.) [Golius thinks it to be from the Persian كُوكُرْدْ (or كُوكُرْدْ): or rather, he adds, from the Hebrew נּפְּרִיח Gen. xix. 24.] b2: أَعَزُّمِنَ الكِبْرِيتِ الأَحْمَرِ [More rare than red brimstone, or sulphur]. A proverb. Some say, that كبريت احمر [meaning as above] is a thing that does not exist: others, that by it is meant gold. (Meyd.) This phrase is similar to أَعَزُّ مِنْ بَيْضِ الأَنُوقِ. (S, art. كبر.) b3: كِبْرِيتٌ also signifies gold: (K:) [see above:] or red gold: or red [as an epithet applied to gold]: (TA:) or pure, as an epithet applied to gold. (S, art. كبر.) Ru-beh says, هَلْ يَنْفَعَنِّى كَذِبٌ سِخْتِيتُ أَوْ فِضَّةٌ أَوْ ذَهَبٌ كِبْرِيتُ [Will vehement lying profit me, or silver, or pure gold?] (S, art. كبر.) IAar says, Ru-beh imagined that كبريت meant gold: upon which MF observes, that the ancient Arabs erred with respect to meanings, though not with respect to words. The latter author, however, supposes كبريت to be fig. used as signifying gold; for they use the expression الكبريت الاحمر [as applied to gold] because gold is [said to be] prepared therefrom, and it is used in alchymical processes. (TA.) b4: كِبْرِيتٌ also signifies The red jacinth, or ruby; syn. يَاقُوتٌ أَحْمَرُ. (K.)

قنطر

Q. 1 قَنْطَرَ الشّىْءِ i. q. عَقَدَهُ وَأَحْكَمَهُ [He tied, or knit, the thing; or, agreeably with modern usage, he arched, or vaulted, it; and made it firm, or strong]. (Zj.) Hence what is called a قَنْطَرَة is thus called because of its being firmly, or strongly, knit together, or arched, or vaulted, لِإِحْكَامِ عَقْدِهَا. (MF.) [It seems to signify He compacted the thing. b2: Also, He collected the thing together into one aggregate; he aggregated it. See the pass. part. n., below.]

A2: قَنْطَرَ He (a man, TA) possessed property by the قِنْطَار: (K:) or became possessed of a قنطار of property: (TA:) or possessed large property, as though it were weighed by the قنطار. (ISd, TA.) 2 تَقَنْطَرَ بِهِ فَرَسُهُ, for تَقَطَّرَ به: see قَطَّرَهُ.

قَنْطَرَةٌ [accord. to the Msb, of the measure فَنْعَلَةٌ, belonging to art. قطر, the ن being augmentative; and the same is perhaps meant to be indicated by the place in which it is mentioned in the S and some other lexicons; but accord. to the K, the ن is a radical letter; A bridge;] what is built over water, for crossing or passing over (Mgh, Msb) upon it; (Msb;) an أَزَج [or oblong arched or vaulted structure], built with backed bricks or with stones, over water, upon which to cross or pass over: (Az, TA:) or i. q. جِسْرٌ: (S, K:) or this latter is a more common term; (Mgh, * Msb;) for it signifies that which is built and that which is not built: (Msb:) a lofty structure: (K:) [pl. قَنَاطِرُ.] See 1.

قِنْطَارٌ [accord. to the Msb, of the measure فِنْعَالٌ, belonging to art. قطر, the ن being augmentative; and the same is perhaps meant to be indicated by the place in which it is mentioned in the S and some other lexicons; but accord. to the K, the ن is a radical letter;] A certain مِعْيَار [or standard of weight or measure]: (S, TA:) or, accord. to some, a quantity of no determinate weight: (Msb:) or a large unknown quantity or aggregate, of property: (TA:) or much property heaped up: (Msb:) or four thousand deenárs: (Th, Msb:) this is what most of the Arabs hold to be the truth: (Th:) or four thousand dirhems: (Th:) or one thousand two hundred ookeeyehs: (A 'Obeyd, S, K:) so accord. to Mo'ádh Ibn-Jebel: (S:) or [which is the same] a hundred ritls: (Msb:) [this is its weight in the present day; i. e., a hundredweight, or a hundred pounds:] or a hundred ritls of gold or of silver: (Es-Suddee, K:) or a hundred and twenty ritls: (S, L:) or a thousand ookeeyehs of gold: or of silver: (Th:) or twelve thousand ookeeyehs, accord. to Aboo-Hureyreh, on the authority of the Prophet: (TA:) or a hundred ookeeyehs of gold: or of silver: (Th:) or a hundred mithkáls; (I 'Ab, Msb, TA;) the mith-kál being twenty keeráts: (I 'Ab, TA:) or forty ookeeyehs of gold: (K:) or one thousand two hundred deenárs: (K:) or one thousand one hundred deenárs: (L:) or seventy thousand deenárs: (K:) or, in the language of Barbar, a thousand mithkáls of gold or of silver: (TA:) or eighty thousand dirhems: (I 'Ab, K:) or a hundred dirhems: (Msb:) or a hundred menns: (Msb:) or a quantity of gold, (S, K,) or of silver, (K,) sufficient to fill a bull's hide: (S, K:) so in the Syriac language, accord. to Es-Suddee: (TA:) and there are other definitions of the word: (S:) pl. قَنَاطِيرُ. (S.) مُقَنْطَرٌ Collected together into one aggregate; aggregated; made up; or completed; syn. مُكَمَّلٌ. (K.) You say قَنَاطِيرُ مُقَنْطَرَةٌ, (S,) meaning, Much riches collected together: (Jel. in iii. 12:) the latter word is a corroborative. (Bd. ibid.) قنع قنف See Supplement
