(L.) المُخْتَصَرَاتُ, or مُخْتَصِرَاتُ الطُّرُقِ: see the paragraph next preceding.

المُتَخَصِّرُونَ, (K,) or المُتَخَصِّرُونَ فِى الصَّلَاةِ, (Mgh,) Those who, in praying in the night, becoming tired thereby, put their hands upon their خَوَاصِر [or flanks]: of such it is said (in a trad., IAth, K) that light shall be [seen] on their faces (IAth, Mgh, K) on the day of resurrection: (IAth, K:) [in other cases, this action is forbidden, or disapproved: see 8:] or, in the instance mentioned above, it may mean those who shall rest upon their righteous works on the day of resurrection: (IAth, Mgh, TA:) this latter is apparently the right meaning: otherwise, two trads. contradict each other. (MF.)

A2: خَضَرَ: see 8, in two places.2 خضّرهُ, [inf. n. تَخْضِيرٌ,] He rendered it أَخْضَر [i. e. green, &c.].

(S.) 4 اخضر It (plenty of moisture) rendered seedproduce soft, or tender. (TA.) 8 اختضر He cut herbage, (S, K,) or a tree, (A,) while it was green; (S, A, K;) as also ↓ خَضَرَ, (A, TA,) aor. ـُ inf. n. خَضْرٌ. (TA.) And اُخْتُضِرَ It (herbage, TA) was taken, (K,) and pastured upon, (TA,) while fresh and juicy, (K,) and green, before it had attained its full height. (TA.) See also 9, last sentence. b2: Hence, (S, TA,) the pass. form, (assumed tropical:) He died in his youth; (S, K;) in his fresh and flourishing state. (S.) Young men used to say to an old man, أَجْزَرْتُ يَا شَيْخُ (assumed tropical:) [Thou hast attained to the time for dying, (lit. for being cut,) O old man]: and he replied, أَىْ بَنِىَّ وَتُخْتَضَرُونَ (assumed tropical:) [O my sons, and ye shall be cut off, or die, in your youth]. (S. [See also أَجْزَرَ.]) b3: Also, the act. v., He cut off the green branches of a palm-tree with his مِخْلَب; (TA;) and so ↓ خَضَرَ, (K, * TA,) aor. ـُ inf. n. خَضْرٌ: (TA:) and he cut off a thing, as a man's nose, entirely: (TA:) or, simply, he cut off a man's nose.

(S, A, Msb, K.) [Hence,] اخضرّ إِزَارَى (The place of) my ازار became black: or, rather, became of a [blackish] hue inclining to green: because the hair when it first grows is of that hue. (Har p. 494.) And اخضرّ شَارِبُهُ [His mustache grew so as to appear dark]; said of a boy; a phrase similar to بَقَلَ وَجْهُهُ.

خِضْرٌ [i. q. خَضِرٌ]. You say, أَخَذَهُ خِضْرًا مِضْرًا, and مَضِرًا ↓ خَضِرًا, He took it without price: or in its fresh, or juicy, state: (K:) مضرا being an imitative sequent. (TA.) Whence the saying, مَضِرَةٌ ↓ الدُّنْيَا خَضِرَةٌ [in the S حُلْوَةٌ خَضِرَةٌ] The goods of this world are delicate, fresh, and pleasant: or pleasing. (TA.)

(TA.) خَضَرٌ inf. n. of خَضِرَ: [see 9, first sentence: b2: and last sentence but one; and] see also خُضْرَةٌ.

(TA.) Also A species of plant of the kind called جَنْبَة; (K;) which latter term is applied to herbage whereof the root is deep in the earth, like the نَصِىّ and صِلِّيَان: (TA:) [a coll. gen. n.:] n. un. with ة: (K:) it is not of the slender and succulent herbs or leguminous plants, which dry up in summer. (TA.) Hence آكِلَةُ الخَضِرِ, occurring in a trad., [properly signifying A she-camel that eats the plant above mentioned,] applied to a man who acts justly and moderately with respect to worldly enjoyments: for the خضر is not of the slender and succulent herbs, as above observed, nor of those excellent plants which the spring produces by its consecutive rains, and which therefore become goodly and soft or tender; but of those upon which beasts pasture after others have dried up, because they find no others, and which the Arabs call جَنْبَة; and the beasts do not eat much of it, nor do they find it wholesome. (IAth, TA.) خَضْرَةٌ [if not a mistranscription for خُضْرَةٌ] Fresh cut herbage, to be eaten quickly. (TA.) خُضْرَةٌ [Greenness; a green colour; verdure;] a certain colour, (S, A, K,) well known; (K;) [and] a colour between black and white: it is in plants and in animals &c., and, accord. to IAar, in water also: (TA:) in camels, (S,) and horses, (S, K,) [and asses, and sometimes in birds, and in a garment of the kind called كِسَآء, and the like, and in other things, a dark, or an ashy, dust-colour; or dingy ash-colour; or dark dustcolour;] a dust-colour intermixed with دُهْمَة [i. e. blackness or deep ash-colour]: (S, K:) in men, [and in other things,] a tawny, or brownish, colour; syn. سُمْرَةٌ: (S:) [and a blackish hue: and a blackish hue inclining to green:] and blackness: (TA:) [and intense blackness: see 9; and see also أَخْضَرُ:] pl. خُضَرٌ and خُضْرٌ. (K.) b2: And A green plant: pl. خُضَرٌ: (TA:) or the latter signifies herbs, or leguminous plants; as though pl. of the former. (Msb.) [See خَضَارٌ: and خَضْرَةٌ.] b3: See also خَضِرٌ. b4: Also Softness, or tenderness, (IAar, K,) of seed-produce [and the like]; (TA;) and so ↓ خَضَرٌ, (K,) inf. n. of خَضِرَ.

Hast thou ever seen the wolf?]: meaning that the milk was of an ash-colour (أَوْرَق), like the colour of the wolf, by reason of the great quantity of the water: or, as some say, milk and water in the proportion of one third of the former to two thirds of the latter: it is of any milk, that has been kept in a skin or that is fresh, and from any beast: some say that the word is a pl., [or rather a coll. gen. n.,] and that the sing., or n. un., is with ة. (TA.) خَضُورٌ: see أَخْضَرُ.

خَضِيرٌ: see أَخْضَرُ: b2: and see also خَضِرٌ.

(TA.) خُضَارِىٌّ A certain bird; (S, K;) also called the أَخْيَل; (S;) regarded as of evil omen when it alighted upon the back of a camel: it is أَخْضَر [i. e. green, or of a dark or an ashy dust-colour], with redness in the حَنَك [or part beneath the beak], and is larger than the قَطَا: or certain green, or dark or ashy dust-coloured, birds, (طَيْرٌ خُضْرٌ,) also called قَارِيَة: A 'Obeyd asserts that the Arabs loved them, and likened to them a liberal, or bountiful, man: but ISd says, on the authority of the 'Eyn, that they regarded them as of evil omen: (TA:) [Golius states, on the authority of Meyd, that the خضارىّ is a bird of a blackish colour, called in Persian كَرايَهْ. See Bochart's Hieroz. p. ii. col. 61; referred to by Freytag.] b2: Also The [tree, or shrub, called]

(Msb, TA.) You say شَجَرَةٌ خَضْرَآءُ A green, and fresh, or juicy, tree. (TA.) and مَآءٌ أَخْضَرُ Water inclining to a green colour, by reason of its clearness. (TA.) And أَخْضَرُ الجِلْدَةِ [lit. Tawny of skin:] meaning (assumed tropical:) of pure race; because the complexions of the Arabs are tawny; (S;) of genuine Arab race: (IB:) as in the saying of El-Lahabee, (S, TA,) El-Fadl Ibn-'Abbás, (TA,) وَأَنَا الأَخْضَرُ مَنْ يَعْرِفُنِى

أَخْضَرُ الجِلْدَةِ فِى بَيْتِ العَرَبْ [And I am the tawny: who knows me? the tawny of skin (or pure of race), of the family that comprises the nobility of the Arabs]. (S, IB.) And فُلَانٌ أَخْضَرُ القَفَا [lit. Such a one is blackish, or black, in the back of the neck:] meaning (tropical:) such a one is the son of a black woman: (Az, A:) or (tropical:) one who is slapped on the back of his neck: (A:) or (tropical:) a freedman, or an emancipated slave. (TA.) And أَخْضَرُ البَطْنِ (tropical:) A weaver: (A, TA:) because his belly, being stuck close to his loom, becomes blackened by it. (TA.) And أَخْضَرُ النَّوَاجِذِ (tropical:) An eater of onions and leeks: or a tiller, or cultivator, of the ground; because he eats herbs, or leguminous plants. (A.) and هُمْ خُضْرُ المَنَاكِبِ [lit. They are green in the shoulders, from carrying the produce of their land:] meaning (tropical:) they are in a state of great plenty. (K, TA.) And [hence, perhaps,] فُلَانٌ

أَخْضَرُ (tropical:) Such a one possesses abundant خَيْر [or wealth, or prosperity]: (A, TA:) [or it may mean goodness: for] الأَخْضَرُ, applied to a man, is an epithet of praise, whereby he may be likened to the sea, because it is described as green, or to the [rain or herbage called] رَبِيع; in both cases meaning (assumed tropical:) liberal, or bountiful; and it is so applied because خُضْرَةٌ is of the colours of the Arabs: and it is also an epithet of dispraise, as meaning (assumed tropical:) black by reason of baseness, ignobleness, or meanness. (Ham p. 282.) And شَابٌّ أَخْضَرُ (tropical:) A young man whose hair has begun to grow upon the sides of his face. (TA.) And كَتِيبَةٌ خَضْرَآءُ (tropical:) An army, or a troop of horse, overspread with the blackness of iron: (S, TA:) or a great army or troop of horse (K, TA) of which most of the men are clad in iron; like جَأْوَآءُ: (TA:) because of the خُضْرَة of the iron: (A:) [i. e.] because of the blackness thereof. (TA.) And اللَّيْلُ أَخْضَرُ (tropical:) Night is black. (TA.) And [hence,] جَنَّ عَلَيْهِ أَخْضَرُ الجَنَاحَيْنِ (tropical:) Night [lit. the black-winged] veiled him, concealed him, or covered him with its darkness. (A.) مُدْهَامَّتَانِ, in the Kur [lv. 64, relating to two gardens of Paradise], is explained by خَضْرَاوَانِ because it means Inclining to blackness, by reason of abundance of moisture, or irrigation. (S.) b2: الأَخْضَرُ used as a subst.: see خُضَارَةٌ. b3: The fem.

خَضْرَآءُ [is also used as a subst., and] signifies Gree herbs or leguminous plants; (Msb, K;) as also ↓ خُضَارَةٌ: (K:) pl. خَضْرَاوَاتٌ: by rule it should be خُضْرٌ; but as the quality of a subst. predominates in it, it has a pl. like the pl. of a subst., like صَحْرَاوَاتٌ pl. of صَحْرَآءٌ: (Msb:) this pl. occurs in the saying (in a trad., TA) لَيْسَ فِى

الخَضْرَاوَاتِ صَدَقَةٌ There is no poor-rate in the case of green herbs or leguminous plants; (Msb;) or fresh fruits and herbs or leguminous plants; (TA;) or fruits, such as the apple and the pear &c.; or herbs or leguminous plants, such as leeks and smallage and rue and the like; and خُضَرٌ, pl. of خُضْرَةٌ, is sometimes substituted for it. (Mgh.) [Hence,] إِيَّاكُمْ وَخَضْرَآءُ الدِّمَنِ, meaning (tropical:) Avoid ye the beautiful woman that is of bad origin: (S, A, Msb:) because what grows in a دِمْنَة [or place which men have blackened by their cooking, and where their camels or other beasts have staled and dunged], though it may be beautiful and bright, does not bear fruit [because it is neglected, and left unwatered], (S, Msb,) and soon becomes corrupt, or bad. (Msb. [See also دِمْنَةٌ: and see عُشْبَةٌ الدَّارِ, in art. عشب.]) b4: And الخَضْرَآءُ, as an epithet in which the quality of a subst. predominates, (TA,) (tropical:) The sky, or heaven; (S, A, K;) because of its greenness; like as the earth is called الغَبْرَآءُ.

So in the saying, أَبَادَ اللّٰهُ خَضْرَآءَهُمْ (assumed tropical:) [May God destroy the congregated or collective body, mass, or bulk, of them]: (S:) or this means, (tropical:) their stock (شَجَرَة) from which they have branched off; (A;) [for] خَضْرَآءُ signifies the origin of anything: (TA:) or, their life in this present world: (Fr, TA:) or, as some say, their enjoyment and plenty; (TA;) [for] خَضْرَآءُ signifies prosperity, and plenty, and enjoyment: (TA in a later part of this art.:) or the right reading is غَضْرَآءَهُمْ, meaning “their prosperity, and their pleasantness of life, or plenty and prosperity.” (S. [See art. غضر.]) b7: البَقْلَةُ الخَضْرَآءُ: see خَضِرٌ. b8: الخُضْرُ, (T,) or الخَضْرَآءُ, (K,) The domestic pigeons; (T, K;) so called although of various colours, because their predominant colour is وُرْقَة [or ash-colour], or خُضْرَة [meaning a dark, or an ashy, dust-colour]: the خُضْر and the نُمْر [or spotted with white and black, &c.,] are especially characterized by the faculty of rightly directing their course. (T, TA.) b9: الأَخَاصِرُ [a pl. of الأَخْضَرُ used as a subst.] (tropical:) Gold and flesh-meat and wine; as also الأَحَامِرَةُ [as some explain this latter]. (TA.) b10: أَخْضَرُ also signifies (tropical:) Fresh, or recent: so in the saying, الأَمْرُ بَيْنَنَا أَخْضَرُ (tropical:) [The affair between us is fresh, or recent]: and in like manner you say, المَوَدَّةُ بَيْنَنَا خَضْرَآءُ (tropical:) Love, or affection, between us is fresh. (A.) And Soft, or tender; applied to herbage, or seed-produce. (TA.) b11: [Hence,] عِيشَةٌ خَضْرَآءُ (assumed tropical:) A mode of life soft, or delicate, and plentiful and pleasant. (Har p. 639.) b12: الأَخْضَرُ is also the name of [A certain star, or asterism; most probably either a of Piscis Australis or ε of Pegasus, or some star or asterism nearly in a line with those two;] one of the three أَنْوَآء of the rain called الخَرِيف; namely, the middle نَوْء of those three انوآء; the first being the نَسْرَانِ; and the last, the foremost of the فَرْغَانِ: see نَوْءٌ. (Az, T and TA in art. نوأ.) الأُخَيْضِرُ dim. [of الأَخْضَرُ], (TA,) [Cantharides;] a kind of fly, (K,) green, of a dark or an ashy dust-colour, (أَخْضَرُ,) of the size of the black fly, and called the Indian fly [as cantharides are (??) the Arabs in the present day]; having properties and uses mentioned in medical books.

موت

1 مَاتَ, aor. ـُ (inf. n. مَوْتٌ; Msb,) and مَاتَ, (originally مَوِتَ, like خَافَ, originally خَوِفَ, MF) [sec. per. مِتَّ,] aor. ـَ (S, K,) which latter is of the dial. of Teiyi; (TA;) and مَاتَ, (in which the medial radical letter is originally ى, like بَاعَ, MF) aor. ـِ (K,) a form which some have disapproved; (MF;) and مَاتَ, (originally مَوِتَ, Kr,) sec.

(K.) b6: مَا أَمْوَتَهُ signifies مَا أَمْوَتَ قَلْبَهُ [(tropical:) How dead is his heart !] for one does not wonder at any action that does not increase: (S, K:) therefore what is here meant is not literally death. (TA.) b7: اماتهُ (tropical:) He (God) rendered him poor; reduced him to poverty. (TA, from a trad.) b8: اماتهُ (tropical:) He [or it] caused him to sleep. Ex., in a prayer said on awaking, الحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ الَّذِى أَحْيَانَا بَعْدَ مَا أَمَاتَنَا Praise be to God who hath awaked us after having caused us to sleep !

مَيِّتٌ and ↓ مَيْتٌ signify the same, [Dead, or dying]: (Zj, S, K:) the former is originally مَيْوِتٌ, of the measure فَيْعِلٌ: (S:) the latter is contracted from the former; and is both masc. and fem.; (Zj, S;) as is also the former. (Zj.) 'Adee Ibn-Er-Raalà says, ↓ لَيْسَ مَنْ مَاتَ فَاسْتَرَاحَ بِمَيْتٍ

إِنَّمَا المَيْتُ مَيِّتُ الأَحْيَآءِ [He who has died and become at rest is not dead: the dead is only the dead of the living]. (S, TA.) Or ↓ مَيْتٌ signifies One who has died (actually, TA,); and مَيِّتٌ, as also ↓ مَائِتٌ, one who has not yet died, (K,) but who is near to dying: or, accord. to a verse cited by AA, to Kh, مَيْتٌ is applied to him who is borne to the grave; [i. e., who is dead, or lifeless]; and مَيِّتٌ, to him who [is dying, but] has life in him. (TA.) Fr says, you say of him who has not died, إِنَّهُ مَائِتٌ, عَنْ قَلِيلٍ ↓ and مَيِّتٌ; but you do not say of him who has died ↓ هذا مَائِتٌ: (S:) but some say, that this is an error, and that مَيِّتٌ is applicable to that which will soon die. Those who assert that ميّت is applicable only to the living adduce the following words of the Kur, [xxxix. 31,] إِنَّكَ مَيِّتٌ وَإِنَّهُمْ مَيِّتُونَ: (TA:) i. e. Verily thou wilt die, and verily they will die. (Msb.) MF observes, that مَيْتٌ is asserted to be contracted from مَيِّتٌ; and if so, that there can be no difference in their meanings: that the making a difference between them is contrary to analogy; agreeably with which, they should be like هَيْنٌ and هَيِّنٌ, and لَيْنٌ and لَيِّنٌ: and also contrary to what has been heard from the Arabs; for they made no difference in their use of these two words. (TA.) [See also what is said of مَيْتَةٌ, below.] The pls. are أَمْوَاتٌ and مَوْتَى and مَيِّتُونَ and مَيْتُونَ. (S, K.) The first of these is pl. of مَيِّتٌ, and consequently of مَيْتٌ, because this latter is contracted from the former: as مَيِّتٌ is of the measure فَيْعِلٌ, and this measure resembles فَاعِلٌ, it has received a form of pl. which is sometimes applicable to the measure فاعل: (Sb:) or اموات is [only] pl. of مَيْتٌ. (Msb.) [The second form (which is applied to rational beings, Msb,) is also pl. of ميّت and ميت.] The third and fourth are [only] applied to rational beings. (Msb.) The fem. epithet is مَيِّتَةٌ and مَيْتَةٌ and مَيِّتٌ (K, TA) and مَيْتٌ. (TA; and so in some copies of the K, in the place of مَيِّتٌ.) مَيِّتَةٌ is an epithet applied to a female rational being; [and its pl. is مَيِّتَاتٌ:] مَيْتَةٌ, to a female brute, for the sake of distinction; and its pl. is مَيْتَاتٌ: the latter is contracted because it is more in use than the former epithet applied to a female rational being: (Msb:) the pl. of ميّت and ميت as fem. epithets is as above [أَمْوَاتٌ and مَوْتَى]. (TA.) b2: ↓ مَيْتَةٌ signifies That which has not been slaughtered (AA, S, K) [in the manner prescribed by the law, i. e., carrion]: or that of which the life has departed without slaughter: so in the classical language and in the language of practical law: all such is unlawful to be eaten, except fish and locusts, which are lawful by universal consent of the Muslims: (En-Nawawee:) or, in the common acceptation of the language of law, what has died a natural death, or been killed in a state or manner different from that prescribed by the law, either the agent or the animal killed not being such as is so prescribed; as that which is sacrificed to an idol, or slaughtered [by a person] in the state of إِحْرَام, or not by having the throat cut, and that which it is unlawful to eat, such as a dog: (Msb:) [and any separated part of an animal of which the flesh is not lawful food: see عَاجٌ.] b3: بَلَدٌ مَيِّتٌ A tract of land without herbage, or pasture, (Msb, in art. بلد.) b4: مَيِّتٌ (assumed tropical:) An unbeliever; like as حَىٌّ means a Muslim. (TA, in art. حى.) مَيِّتٌ and مَيْتٌ are employed in various other senses, agreeably with the senses of the verb.]

مَائِتٌ: see مَيِّتٌ. b2: فُلَانٌ مَائِتٌ فى الغَمِّ (tropical:) [Such a one is dying, or absorbed, in grief]. (TA.) b3: مَوْتٌ مَائِتٌ A severe, painful, or violent, death: (TA:) like لَيْلٌ لَائِلٌ: the latter word being added to corroborate the former. (S.) مَمَاتٌ: see مَوْتٌ.

مُمِيتٌ and مُمِيتَةٌ (tropical:) A woman, and a she-camel, that has lost her offspring by death: (S:) and a woman who has lost her husband by death: (TA:) pl. مَمَاوِيتُ. (S.) مُتَمَاوِتٌ (tropical:) [Feigning himself dead]. b2: (tropical:) An epithet applied to A hypocritical devotee, (S, K,) who pretends to be like one dead in his devotion, who lowers his voice, and moves little: as though he were one who put on the outward appearance of devotees, and constrained himself to characterize himself by the characteristics of the dead, that he might be imagined to be weak by reason of much devotion. (TA.) مُسْتَمِيتٌ A courageous man, who seeks, or courts death: (K:) a man who seeks to be slain; who cares not, in war, for death: (S:) abandon-ing, or devoting, himself to death, (مسْتَرْسِلٌ لِلْمَوْتِ,) as also مُسْتَقْتِلٌ. (A.) b2: (assumed tropical:) Abandoning, or devoting himself to a thing, or affair; syn. مُسْتَرْسِلٌ لِأَمْرٍ. (S, K.) b3: هَوَ مُسْتَمِيتٌ إِلَى كَذَا, as also مُسْتَهْلِكٌ, (tropical:) He [is devoted to such a thing, so that he] imagines that he shall die if he do not attain it. (A.) b4: Ru-beh says, وَزَبَدُ البَحْرِ لَهُ كَتِيتُ وَاللَّيْلُ فَوْقَ المَاءِ مُسْتَمِيتُ [And to the froth of the sea there was a sound like that of boiling, and night impended over the water]. (S.) [It is implied in the S that مستميت here signifies مُسْتَرْسِل.] b5: (assumed tropical:) One who feigns himself to be insane, or possessed by a devil; not being really so. (TA.) b6: (assumed tropical:) One who feigns lowliness, or submissiveness, in voice, &c., to this man until he feeds him, and to this until he feeds him, and, when he is satiated, is ungrateful to his benefactors. (TA.) b7: (assumed tropical:) One who makes a show of being good and quiet or tranquil, and is not so in reality. (Ibn-El-Mubárak.) A2: مُسْتَمِيتٌ The thin pellicle that adheres to the white of an egg. (K.) [See 10: and see also مُسْتَمِيثٌ, in art. ميث.]

مدح

1 مَدَحَهُ, (S, K,) aor. ـَ (K,) inf. n. مَدْحٌ (S, K) and مِدْحَةٌ, (K,) as some say, but correctly this latter is a simple subst.; (TA;) and ↓ امتدحهُ; (S, K;) and ↓ مدّحهُ, (K,) inf. n. تَمْدِيح; (TA;) [but this, and that next preceding it, have an intensive signification, as is shown by the explanation of their pass. part. ns., which see below;] and ↓ تمدّحهُ; (K:) [which seems to imply some degree of effort in the agent;] He praised, eulogized, or commended, him; spoke well of him; mentioned him with approbation: (S, K:) or he described him as characterized by goodliness, beauty, or elegance; opposite of ذَمَّهُ: and he enumerated his generous qualities or actions; opposite of هَجَاهُ: (MF:) or he praised him for his goodly qualities, whether natural or depending upon his own will; and hence it is of more common application than حَمَدَهُ: accord. to El-Khateeb El-Tebreezee, it is from the phrase تَمَدَّحَتِ الأَرْضُ “ the land became ample, or spacious; ” whence it would seem to signify he amplified his phrase: accord. to Kh, مَدَحَهُ relates to an absent person; and مَدَهَهُ, to one who is present: and accord. to EsSarakustee, مَدْهٌ is descriptive of the state, or condition, and external appearance or form; and of nothing beside. (Msb.) 2 مَدَّحَ see 1.3 مادحهُ He praised, eulogized, or commended, him reciprocally. (A.) 5 تمدّح He affected (تَكَلَّفَ) to be praised, eulogized, or commended; endeavoured, or constrained himself, to gain praise, eulogy, or commendation. (S, K.) هُوَ يَتَمَدَّحُ إِلَى النَّاسِ He seeks to gain the praise, eulogy, or commendation, of people. (A.) b2: He praised, eulogized, or commended, himself. (TA.) b3: He gloried: he boasted of abundance which he did not possess. (K.) b4: العَرَبُ تَتَمَدَّحُ بِالسَّخَآءِ [The Arabs glory in liberality, bounty, munificence, or generosity]. (A.) b5: See 1. b6: تَمَدَّحَتِ الخَاصِرَةُ, (S, K,) and ↓ امتدحت, and ↓ إِمَّدَحَت [originally إِنْمدَحَت], (K,) The hypochondre, or flank, became distended, expanded, or dilated, (S, K,) by reason of satiety; like تندّحت: occurring in this sense in a verse of Er-Rá'ee, as some relate it; as others relate it, it is تمذّحت. (S.) b7: بَطْنُهُ ↓ امدحّ His belly became wide, or distended; a dial. form of اندحّ. (S.) This, says F, is a mistake; but it is no mistake; and he has perverted the words of J, which are confirmed by Sgh and the author of the L and many others. (MF.) b8: Also تمدّحت الأَرْضُ, and امتدحت, and ↓ امّدحت (K) and ↓ انمدحت, (TA,) The land became ample, or spacious. (K.) The first and second are formed by substitution of م for ن from تندحت and انتدّحت. (L.) 6 تمادحوا They praised, eulogized, or commended, one another. (A.) التَّمَادُحُ التَّذَابُحُ Praising one another is slaughtering one another. (S, art. ذبح, A.) 7 إِنْمَدَحَ 8, and 9. See 5 and 1.

مِدْحَةٌ and ↓ مَدِيحٌ and ↓ أُمْدُوحَةٌ (S, K,) Praise; eulogy; commendation: (S:) that with which one is praised, eulogized, or commended; (K;) meaning poetry, or verse, with which one is praised, eulogized, or commended: (TA:) pl. of the first, مِدَحٌ; (A;) of the second, مَدَائِحُ; and of the third, أَمَادِيحُ. (K, A.) مَدِيحٌ: see مِدْحَةٌ.

مَدَّاحٌ [One who praises, &c., much, or often; a habitual praiser, &c.] (TA in art. حثو; &c. See an ex. voce حَثَا.) مَادِحٌ Praising, eulogizing, or commending; or a praiser, eulogizer, or commender: pl. مَدَّحٌ. (TA.) مَمَادِحُ Praiseworthy, commendable, or good, qualities or dispositions, &c.; contr of مَقَابِحُ. (L, art. قبح.) أُمْدُوحَةٌ: see مِدْحَةٌ.

مُمَدَّحٌ A man much, or greatly praised; (S, K;) as also ↓ مُمْتَدَحٌ: (TA:) praised by every tongue. (A.) مُمْتَدَحٌ: see مُمَدَّحٌ.

مسح

1 مَسَحَ شَيْئًا, aor. ـَ inf. n. مَسْحٌ; and ↓ مسّحهُ, inf. n تَمْسِيحٌ; He wiped a thing that was wet or dirty, with his hand, or passed his hand over it to remove the wet or dirt that was upon it: (L:) مَسْحٌ and تَمْسِيحٌ and ↓ تَمَسُّحٌ signifying the passing the hand over a thing that is flowing [with water or the like], or dirtied, soiled, or polluted, to remove the fluid or dirt, or soil or pollution; (L, K;) as when one wipes his head with his hand to remove water; and his forehead, to remove sweat. (L.) [It often signifies He stroked a thing with his hand; as, for instance, the Black Stone of the Kaabeh; see below.] b2: مَسَحَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ المَآءِ; and جَبِينَهُ الرَّشَحِ; He wiped his head with his hand to remove the water that was upon it; and his forehead to remove the sweat. (L.) b3: مَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ (S) He wiped with his hand, or passed his hand closely over, his head, or a part thereof, without making any water to flow upon it: so in the Kur, v. 8; where it is said, فَاغْسِلُوا وُجُوهَكُمْ وَأَيْدِيَكُمْ إِلَى الْمَرَافِقِ وَامْسَحُوا بِرُؤُوسِكُمْ وَأَرْجُلَكُمْ

إِلَى الْكَعْبَيْنِ: here أَرْجُلَكُمْ is in the acc. case as an adjunct to ايديكم; [i.e., as a third objective complement to the verb اغسلوا; not as an adjunct to رؤوسكم;] but some read أَرْجُلِكُمْ, putting it in the gen. case because of its proximity to رؤوسكم; (Jel;) [in like manner as خَرِبٍ is put in the gen. case in the phrase هٰذَا جُحْرُ ضَبٍّ خَرِبٍ, an ex. given by many of the grammarians, showing that this is allowable in prose,] notwithstanding that it is said, by Aboo-Is-hák the grammarian, that the putting a noun in the gen. case because of its proximity to a preceding noun in that case is not allowable except in poetry, when necessity requires it: (L:) the head, which is wiped, is mentioned between the arms and the feet, which are washed, to show the order which is to be observed in the purification. (Jel.) But مَسَحَ signifies both he wiped with the hand, and also he washed: so says IAth: (L:) and Az and IKt say the like: (Msb:) you say مَسَحْتُ يَدَىَّ بالمَآءِ, meaning I washed my hands with water. (Az, Msb.) b4: مَسَحَ شَيْئًا بِالمَآءِ He wiped a thing with his hand wetted with water; passed his hand, wetted with water, over a thing. (Msb.) b5: مَسَحَ البَيْت He compassed the House [of God, i.e. the Kaabeh: because he who does so passes his hand over the corner in which is the Black Stone]. (L.) b6: مَسَحَ اللّٰهُ عَنْكَ مَا بِكَ May God remove that which is in thee! (L;) or, wash and cleanse thee from thy sins! (TA, art. مصح.) A prayer for a sick person. (L, from a trad.) b7: مَسَحَهُ He anointed him or it with oil. (A.) b8: مُسِحَ بِالكَرَمِ, inf. n. مَسْحٌ, (tropical:) He was characterized by somewhat, or by some sign or mark, of nobility. (L.) [See مَسْحَةٌ.] b9: مَسَحَ, inf. n. مَسْحٌ, He combed and dressed hair; syn. مَشَطَ. (K.) b10: مَسْحُ اللُّحِىَ [The stroking of the beards] was a sign of reconciliation.

(K.) b14: مَسَحَ فِى الأَرْضِ, inf. n. مُسُوحٌ, He set forth journeying through the land, or earth: (A'Obeyd, K: *) as also مَصَحَ. (TA.) b15: مَسَحَهُمْ (tropical:) He passed lightly by them, or brushed by them, without remaining by them. (L.) b16: مَسِحَ, [aor. ـَ inf. n. مَسَحٌ, The inner sides of his (a man's, S) thighs rubbed together, (S, L, K,) so as to become sore and chapped: (L:) or he had the inner side of his knee inflamed by the roughness of his garment.

(TA.) b18: مَسَحَتِ الإِبِلُ يَوْمَهَا (tropical:) The camels journeyed all the day. (S.) مَسَحَتِ الإِبِلُ الأَرْضَ يَوْمَهَا دَأْبًا (tropical:) The camels journeyed all the day laboriously. (TA.) A2: مَسَحَ, (S,) inf. n. مَسْحٌ (K) and مِسَاحَةٌ, (S, K,) or the latter is a simple subst., (Msb,) (tropical:) He measured land. (S, K.) A3: مَسَحَ, inf. n. مَسْحٌ, (tropical:) He cut, or severed: and he struck, or smote: (K:) he severed the neck, and the arm. (TA.) مَسَحَ عُنُقَهُ and بِعُنُقِهِن, aor. ـَ inf. n. مَسْحٌ, He smote his neck: or, as some say, severed it, or cut it through. Agreeably with both these significations مَسْحًا is rendered in the Kur, xxxviii. 32: some say that what is here meant is the wiping with the hand wetted with water: accord. to IAth, Solomon is here said to have smitten the necks and hock-tendons of the horses. (L.) [See art. طفق.] مَسَحَهُ بِالسَّيْفِ He smote him with the sword: (L:) and he cut him with the sword: (S, L:) or مَسَحَهُ signifies he struck him gently with a staff, or stick, and with a sword. (TA in art. دهن.) b2: See 8. b3: Also مَسَحَهُمْ He slew them. (L.) A4: مَسَحَهُ, (inf. n. مَسْحٌ, K,) He (God) created him blessed, (AHeyth, K,) and goodly: (AHeyth:) b2: and, contr., created him accursed, (AHeyth, K,) and foul, or ugly. (AHeyth.) A5: مَسَحَ, (S,) inf. n. مَسْحٌ, (K,) (tropical:) Inivit feminam.

(S.) b3: مَلَحَ الوَلَدَ [app. He caused the child to be suckled;] syn. with أَرْضَعَهُ. (K.)

L,) became fat. (L, K.) ↓ ملّحت she (a camel destined for slaughter) became fat: (El-Umawee, S:) or, became a little fat: (K:) She (a camel) became fat in a small degree. (L.) Also ↓ تملّحت (tropical:) They (lizards such as are called ضِبَاب) became fat; as also تحلّمت. (L.) A2: مَلُحَ, aor. ـُ inf. n. مُلُوحَةٌ (S, Msb, K) and مَلَاحَةٌ; (K;) this form of the verb is of the dial. of the people of El-'Áliyeh; (Msb;) and مَلَحَ, aor. ـُ (S, Msb, K,) inf. n. مُلُوحٌ; (S, Msb;) and مَلَحَ, aor. ـَ (IAar, K;) and ↓ املح, inf. n. إِمْلَاحٌ, of the dial. of El-Hijáz; (Msb;) It (water) was salt: (S, Msb, K:) or ↓ املح signifies it became salt, having been sweet.

Abu-l-Kásim Er-Zejjájee disapproves of this, saying that a verb of this form is only derived from an inf. n., as in the cases of ضَارَبَ and قَاتَلَ; whereas this is derived from مِلْحٌ, a subst. [But his objection seems to me invalid: this may be an anomalous instance, and yet of classical authority, like many others.] b2: مَالَحَهُ, inf. n. مُمَالَحَةٌ and مِلَاحٌ, (tropical:) He was, or became, his foster-brother. (L, TA.) [المِلَاحُ is explained in the K by المُرَاضَعَةُ: Lth explaines it by الرَّضَاعُ, as is mentioned in the TA: المُمَالَحَةُ is explained in the A, Mgh, L, and other lexicons by المُرَاضَعَةُ: in the copies of the K in my hands, by الرَّضَاعُ; and so in one copy of the S: in another copy of the S written الرِّضَاعُ; and in another الرّضَاع, without any vowel to the ر: الرضَاعُ, syn. with المُرَاضَعَةُ, is evidently the right reading.] Abu-l-Kásim Er-Zejjájee disapproves of the verb used as signifying the act of two men's sucking each other; [but this is not what is meant by المراضعة;] and pronounces it a post-classical word. (TA.) Yousay بَيْنَهُمَا حُرْمَةُ المُمَالَحَةِ Between them two is the sacred or inviolable bond, or obligation, which is the consequence of their being fosterbrothers. (A.) 4 أَمْلَحَ See 1, in four places, and 2. b2: املح القَوْمُ (assumed tropical:) The people possessed milk; (tropical:) the people had fat camels or other beasts.

A2: املح الإِبِلَ He gave the camels salt water to drink. (K.) b2: املحت الإِبِلُ The camels came to salt water to drink. (S.) b3: مَا أَمَيْلِحَ زَيْدًا (tropical:) [How very goodly, or beautiful, or pretty, is Zeyd! a diminutive form, meant to denote the contrary of the sense of a dim., being what is termed تَصْغِيرُ تَعْظِيمٍ, from مَا أَمْلَحَهُ:] (T, S, K:) the verb is here put into the dim. form, being meant to be used as an epithet, as though they said مُلَيْحٌ: (T:) it is the only instance of a verb put into this form, except مَا أُحَيْسِنَهُ, (S, K,) and, as some say, مَا أُحَيْلَاهُ. (TA.) This is said accord. to the doctrine of the Basrees, who assert the افعل of wonder to be a verb: but as to the Koofees, who say that it is a noun, [meaning an epithet,] they allow the formation of the dim. from it without restriction; and from its admitting the dim. form, they argue that it is a noun. (MF.) b4: مَا أَمْلَحَ وَجْهَهُ, and فِعْلَهُ, (tropical:) How goodly, beautiful, or pretty, is his face! and how good is his action! (A.) b5: أَمْلِحْنِى بِنَفَسِكَ (tropical:) Grace me, or recommend me, (زَيِّنِّى,) [by thy speech].

(A.) 9 إِمْلَحَّ See 1, in two places.10 استملحهُ (assumed tropical:) He esteemed him, or it, goodly, beautiful, or pretty; (S, K;) [pleasing to the eye or ear: (the lexicons passim:)] or found him, or it, to be so (TA.) مَلْحٌ: see مِلْحٌ.

(Abu-l- Kásim Ez-Zejjájee.) b2: مِلْحٌ (tropical:) Milk. (IAar.) The following verse of Abu-t-Tamahán, who had some camels, of the milk whereof he gave to drink to a people that afterwards made an attack upon them, and took them, is cited by As, [app., accord. to the S, as an ex. of ملح in the sense of رَضَاع; but as MF observes, it may be taken as an ex. of that word in the sense of milk;] وِإِنِّى لَأَرْجُو مِلْحَهَا فِى بُطُونِكُمْ وَمَا بَسَطَتْ مِنْ جِلدِ أَشْعَثَ أَغْبَرَا (S, L.) The poet says, Verily I hope that ye may regard (أَنْ تَرْعَوْا [which is understood]) the milk which ye have drank, of these camels, [lit., their milk in your bellies,] and the skins which they have expanded, of a people with matted and dusty hair, and of a dusty hue; as though their skins had dried up, and they had fattened upon them. [Another explanation will be noticed below.] IB says, that the last word should be read أَغْبَرِ, for the sake of the rhyme; for each verse of the poem to which it belongs ends with kesreh. (L.) A2: مِلْحٌ a thing well known, (S, K,) [Salt;] that with which food is made pleasant: (L:) of the fem. gender (Z) generally; (O;) sometimes masc.: (K:) pl. مِلَاحٌ. (Msb.) Dim.

مُلَيْحَةٌ. (Msb.) b2: مَآءٌ مِلْحٌ, (S, K, &c.,) originally ↓ مَلِحْ, from the verb مَلُحَ, like خَشِنٌ from خَشُنَ, contracted because of the frequency of its usage; (Msb;) and ↓ ماء مَلِيحٌ, (K,) and ↓ مَالِحٌ; (IAar, ADk, Az;) [respecting which last, see what will be found after the explanation;] Salt water. (S, K, &c.) J says, that مَاء مالح is not allowable, except in a bad dial.: but Az says, that, though rarely found in the language of the Arabs, it is not to be rejected; and IB says, that it occurs in verses of chaste poets; and may be considered as used after the manner of a rel. n., [meaning ذُو مِلْحٍ,] like رَجُلٌ تَارِسٌ, i. e. ذُو تُرْسٍ, and دَارِعٌ, i. e. ذُو دِرْعٍ: (TA:) it is a chaste word, of the dial. of El-Hijáz, but extr., being from أَمْلَحَ المَآءُ, like as you say بَاقِلٌ from أَبْقَلَ المَوْضِعُ; and when it is said that it is rare, it is meant that it is not agreeable with its verb, not that it is rare with respect to usage, seeing that it is of the dial. of the people of El-Hijáz, who selected the most chaste words of the various dialects: or it is regularly formed from مَلَحَ المَأءُ, a form of the verb sometimes used. (Msb.) The pl. of مِلْحٌ is مِلْحَةٌ and مِلَاحٌ and مِلَحٌ: (L, K:) and sometimes is said أَمْوَاهٌ مِلْحٌ salt waters; and رَكِيَّةٌ مِلْحَةٌ a salt well. (L.) b3: مِلَاحٌ Salt waters. (T, K.) ↓ قَلِيبٌ مَليِحٌ A well of salt water: (S, K:) pl. أَقْلِبَةٌ مِلَاحٌ, occurring in a verse of 'Antarah. (S.) b4: مِلْحٌ (assumed tropical:) Knowledge; science; learning; syn. عِلْمٌ. (IKh, Kz, K.) b5: (assumed tropical:) Men of science; learned men; syn. عُلَمَآءُ. (IKh, Kz, K.) b6: (tropical:) Goodliness, or beauty. (K.) [Accord. to the TA, it is an inf. n.: see مَلُحَ.] b7: (tropical:) Fat, as a subst. (Sh, K.) b8: (tropical:) Fatness: (K:) or a small degree of fatness. (TA.) b9: مِلْحٌ and ↓ مِلْحَةٌ (tropical:) A sacred or inviolable bond, or the like, or any compact, bond, or obligation, which one is under an obligation to respect, or honour, or the cancelling or breaking of which renders one obnoxious to blame; syn. حُرْمَةٌ and ذِمَامٌ; and a compact, or confederacy; syn. حِلْفٌ. (K.) In some copies of the K, for حِلْفٌ is put حَلفٌ. (TA.) b10: Accord. to Aboo-Sa'eed, this is the signification of the former word in the verse of Abu-t-Tamahán cited above, and the poet means, I hope that God may punish you for your perfidious violation of the sacred obligation to their owner, which they imposed upon you. Yousay بَيْنَ فُلَانٍ وَفُلَانٍ مِلْحٌ, and ↓ مِلْحَةٌ, There is a sacred or inviolable bond, &c., between such a one and such a one. [This meaning is derived from مِلْحٌ as signifying “ salt; ” the eating of which with another imposes upon the two parties a sacred mutual obligation.] The Arabs, says Abu-l-'Abbás, pay a high respect to salt and fire and ashes. (L.) [You say,] مِلْحُهُ عَلَى رُكْبَتِهِ, so in the copies of the K, but correctly على رُكْبَتَيْهِ, as in all the other lexicons, (TA,) (tropical:) [lit., His salt is upon his knees;] meaning he has no good faith, so as to fulfil his promises, or engagements: (K:) or he has little good faith, so as to fulfil his promises, &c., for the Arabs swear by salt, and by water, because of their respect for them: (IAar:) or he violates the obligation imposed by such, the smallest thing making him forget it, like as the least thing scatters salt if a person puts it upon his knees: (T:) or he is fat: (K:) As says, that in the following verse, لَا تَلُمْهَا إِنَّهَا مِنْ نِسْوَةٍ

مِلْحُهَا مَوْضُوعَةٌ فَوْقَ الرُّكَبْ [Blame her not; for she is of women whose fat is placed above the knees;] the woman meant was of the people called Ez-Zenj, whose fat is in their thighs, and ملحها signifies their fat: (TA:) or he is sharp in his anger: (K:) or he is of evil disposition, rendered angry by the least thing; like as salt upon the knee is scattered by the least thing: (T:) or he is frequently engaged in altercation; as though his knees were much wounded by his long kneeling in altercation, and by his long striking his knees against those of another, and he therefore put salt upon them to cure them. (A.) [See also رُكْبَةٌ.]

A3: نَبْتٌ مِلْحٌ, and ↓ مَالِحٌ, A plant of the kind called حَمْضٌ. (ISk, S.) مَلَحٌ: see مُلْحَةٌ. b2: A certain disease and fault in the kind leg of a beast of carriage; (TA;) a swelling in the hock, or hock-tendon, (عُرْقُوب,) of a horse; (S, K;) less than what is called جَرَذٌ; which is a name given to it when it has become violent.

(S.) [See أَمْلَحُ.] b3: مُلْحَةٌ (tropical:) A goodly, beautiful, pretty, or facetious, story, or narrative, and word, or saying, or speech; a bon-mot; (L;) وَاحِدَةُ المُلَحِ مِنَ الأَحَادِيثِ; (S, K;) [what is deemed beautiful, elegant, facetious, or the like, of stories, &c.: (Ibr D:) and so ↓ أُمْلُوحَةٌ, coupled with أُفْكُوهَةٌ in art. فكه in the TA:] also said to signify a bad, an abominable, or a foul, word, saying, or speech; a meaning taken from a trad. of 'Áïsheh, who applied this term [perhaps ironically] to a bad answer which she had given in consequence of her having misunderstood a question put to her: (L:) pl. مُلَحٌ. (S, K.) As said نِلْتُ بِالمُلَحِ [I have attained to the station, or rank, to which I have attained by means of goodly, or facetious, sayings, &c.] (S.) حَدَّثْتُهُ بِالمُلَحِ (tropical:) [I related to him goodly, beautiful, pretty, or facetious, stories.] (A.) b4: [A curiosity, an extraordinary thing.]

(Lth.) b2: [Hence,] مَخْضٌ relates also to many things. (TA.) Thus, you say, (TA) مَخَضَ الشَّىْءَ, (K, TA,) inf. n. as above, (TA,) (assumed tropical:) He shook, or agitated, the thing vehemently. (K, TA.) It is said in a trad., مُرَّ عَلَيْهِ بِجِنَازَةٍ تُمْخَضُ مَخْضًا; (L;) or تُمْخَضُ مَخْضَ الزّقّ; (O;) (assumed tropical:) [A bier with a corpse was conveyed past him] being shaken, or agitated, quickly; (L, TA;) or being shaken, or agitated, vehemently [like as the milkskin is shaken, &c.] (O, TA.) You say also, مَخَضَ الدَّلْوَ, (K,) or بِالدَّلْوِ, (Fr, S, O, L,) which latter is the correct phrase, (TA,) or مَخَضَ المَآءَ بِالدَّلْوِ (A,) and مَخَضَ البِئْرَ بِالدَّلْوِ, (TA,) (tropical:) He dashed the bucket in the water of the well, to fill it: (Fr., S, O, L, K:) or he drew much water with the bucket: (A:) and the last, he drew much with the bucket from the well, and agitated it.

(A, TA.) b5: And مَخَضَ said of a camel, (tropical:) He brayed (هَدَرَ) in his شِقْشِقَة [i.e. faucial bag, or bursa faucium]. (K, TA.) A2: مَخِضَتْ, (ISh, IAar S, Msb, K,) aor. ـَ (S, K;) or ـَ (so in a copy of the A and in a copy of the Mgh) or both; (JK, K;) aor. of the latter, as of the former, مَخَضَ; (K;) and مُخِضَتْ; (ISh, L, K;) but this last is disallowed by IAar; (TA;) and the generality of Keys and Temeem and Asad say مِخِضَتْ, with kesr to the م, [for مَخِضَتْ,] and in like manner they do in the case of every [incipient] letter before a guttural letter in words of the measures فَعِلْتُ and فَعِيلٌ; (Nuseyr, TA;) inf. n. مَخَاضٌ (ISh, S, A, Mgh, Msb, K) and مِخَاضٌ (Msb, K) and مَخَضٌ; (A;) said of a she-camel, (ISh, S,) or of a woman, (IAar,) or absolutely, (A, Mgh,) or also absolutely, (Msb, TA, *) of a woman, and of a she-camel, and of other beasts, (TA,) (tropical:) She was taken with the pains of parturition, (ISh, S, A, Mgh, Msb, K,) being near to bringing forth; (Msb;) as also ↓ مَخَّضَتْ, inf. n. تَمْخِيضٌ; (K;) and ↓ تمخّضت; (ISh, and so in some copies of the K;) each of these last two is correct; (TA;) and ↓ امتخضت. (ISh.) And مَخِضَتْ said of a woman, (tropical:) Her child moved about in her belly, previously to the birth: (Ibráheem El-Harbee:) and in like manner, بِوَلَدِهَا ↓ تمخّضت, (S, * TA,) said of a she-camel, (tropical:) her young one became agitated in her belly at the time of bringing forth: (TA:) and ↓ تمخّضت [alone], said of a ewe, or she-goat, (assumed tropical:) she conceived, or became pregnant.

'Amr Ibn-Hassán, one of the Benu-l-Hárith-Ibn-Hemmám-Ibn-Murrah, says, (Seer, S,) but the saying is also ascribed to Sahm Ibn-Khálid Ibn-'Abd-Allah Esh-Sheybánee, and to Khálid Ibn-Hikk Esh-Sheybánee, (TA,) المَنُونُ لَهُ بِيَوْمٍ ↓ تَمَخَّضَتِ

أَنَى وَلِكُلِّ حَامِلَةٍ تَمَامُ meaning [Time, or fortune,] was pregnant with a day for him, of which the time of birth had come: [for for every one that is pregnant there is a term of completion.] (S.) 2 مَخَّضَ see مَخِضَتْ.4 امخض اللَّبَنُ The milk attained to the proper time for [its being churned, or] having its butter taken, or extracted. (S, A, Msb.) In the O and K, it is made to signify the same as امتخض: but it seems that Sgh has inadvertently omitted, after it, the words حَانَ لَهُ أَنْ يُمْخَضَ, and that the author of the K has copied him without referring to other lexicons. (TA.) b2: Also امخض, (K,) said of a man, (TA,) (tropical:) He had his she-camels taken with the pains of parturition; (K, TA;) and his she-camel, in like manner. (TA.) 5 تمخّض It (milk) was, or became, agitated in the مِمْخَضَة; (S, A, * TA;) as also ↓ امتخض. (S, O, K.) [See also 4.] b2: It (milk) had its butter taken.

(S, TA.) b4: See also مَخِضَتْ and what follows it, to the end of the paragraph.8 إِمْتَخَضَ see 5, in two places: b2: and see مَخِضَتْ.10 استمخض اللَّبَنُ The milk was slow in becoming thick and fit for churning, and its butter would hardly, if at all, come forth: such is the best of milk, because its butter is in it. (A.) b2: Also, The milk was slow in acquiring flavour after it had been collected in the skin. (TA.) مَخْضٌ: see مَخِيضٌ.

مَخَاضٌ (assumed tropical:) The pains of parturition; (S, Msb;) as also ↓ مِخَاضٌ. (Msb.) A2: Applied to she-camels, (tropical:) Pregnant: (Az, As, S, ISd, A, Msb, K, &c.:) used in this sense as an epithet of good omen, whence they augur that their young ones will become agitated in their bellies at the time of parturition: (ISd:) having their young in their bellies: (M, TA:) or such as are called عِشَار, that have been ten months pregnant: (Th, K:) but ISd says, I have not found this explanation of مخاض on any authority beside that of Th: (TA:) [see also عُشَرَآءُ:] it has no proper sing: (S:) a single one is termed خَلِفَةٌ, (Az, As, S, A, &c,) which is extr. (K, TA) with respect to rule: (TA:) or مَخَاضٌ signifies, or it signifies also, (accord. to different copies of the K,) she-camels in the state in which they are from the time when the stallion is sent among them (ISd, K) until he brays (حَتَّى يَهْدِرَ), or, accord. to another relation, until they are left (حتّى تُغْدَرَ), i.e., (ISd,) until he ceases (حتّى

يَنْقَطِعَ, in the copies of the K, erroneously, حتى تنقطع, TA) from covering: (ISd, K:) a pl. (K) having no sing. (ISd, K.) b2: Hence, (S,) اِبْنُ مَخَاضٍ (tropical:) A young male camel, which, (As, S, Mgh, Msb, K,) having completed a year (As, S, Mgh) from the day of its birth, (As,) has entered upon the second year: (As, S, Mgh, Msb, K:) because his mother, (S, IAth, Mgh, K,) from whom he has been separated, (S,) has become adjoined to the مَخَاض, (S, IAth, Mgh, K,) or pregnant camels, (IAth, K,) whether she have conceived or not; (S, IAth, * K; *) for they used to make the stallion-camels to cover the females a year after these had brought forth, (IAth, K, *) in order that their young ones might become strong, so that they conceived in the second year: (IAth:) or because its mother has been covered, and has conceived, and become adjoined to the مَخَاض, i.e., to the pregnant camels; and this appellation it bears until it has completed the second year; but when it has entered upon the third, it is called اِبْنُ لَبُونٍ: (Msb:) or a young male camel when his mother has conceived: (K:) or whose mother has become pregnant: or when the she-camels among whom is his mother have become pregnant, though she have not become so: (IAth, K:) the female is called بِنْتُ مَخَاضٍ; (IAth, Msb, K;) or اِبْنَةُ مَخَاضٍ: (S:) the pl., (S, Msb, K,) of both the male and female appellations, (Msb,) is بَنَاتُ مَخَاضٍ, (S, Msb, K,) only; like بَنَاتُ لَبُونٍ and بَنَاتُ آوَى. (S.) Sometimes one adds to it the article ال, (Msb, K,) saying, اِبْنُ المَخَاضِ: (Msb:) [for] ابن مخاض is indeterminate; and when you desire to make it determinate, you affix the article ال, as above; but this only makes it determinate as a generic appellation. (S.) مِخَاضٌ: see مَخَاضٌ.

مَخُوضٌ: see مَاخِضٌ, in two places.

مَخِيضٌ and ↓ مَمْخُوضٌ (S, Msb, K) and ↓ مَخْضٌ (TA, voce مَحْضٌ, q. v.)

مَاخِضًا, meaning (assumed tropical:) [May God pour upon thee] the night. (Ibn-Buzurj.) إِمْخَاضٌ Fresh milk (حَلِيب), (K,) or churned milk (لَبَنٌ مَخِيضٌ), (Lth,) as long as it remains in the مِمْخَضَة: (Lth, K:) or, as some say, milk collected in the place of pasturage until it amounts to the quantity of a camel-load: pl. أَمَا خِيضُ. (Lth.) You say إِمْخَاضٌ مِنْ لَبَنٍ and إِحْلَابٌ مِنْ لَبَنٍ: (Lth:) or the former is of ewes or she-goats, or of cows; and the latter, of camels. (TA, in art. حلب, q. v.) b2: See also مِمْخَضٌ.

مِمْخَضٌ A skin; syn.; سِقَآءٌ; (K;) as also ↓ إِمْخَاضٌ, which is mentioned by Sb, and thus explained by Seer: (TA:) or a skin (سقاء) in which is مَخِيض [or churned milk, &c.]: (TA:) or the receptacle in which the milk whereof the butter has been taken is agitated: (Lth:) and ↓ مِمْخَضَةٌ [and app. the former also] the vessel, (Mgh,) or receptacle, (Msb,) [generally a skin,] in which milk is churned or beaten and agitated; (Mgh, K; *) or in which the butter of the milk is extracted, or fetched out by putting water in it, and agitating it; (Msb;) [i.e. a churn;] i. q. إِبْرِيجٌ. (S.) مِمْخَضَةٌ: see what next precedes.

مِمْخَاضٌ (assumed tropical:) A she-camel having a quick flow of milk. (JK.) مَمْخُوضٌ: see مَخِيضٌ.

مُسْتَمْخِضٌ Milk slow in becoming thick and fit for churning: (K:) or that hardly, if at all, becomes so; and when it has become so, is churned; and this is the best of the milk of ewes or goats, because its butter is destroyed (استهلك) in it. (TA.) [But see 10.]
