(Ham p. 380.) And صَبِىَ, (S, M, K,) [aor. ـْ inf. n. صَبَآءٌ, (S,) or صِبًا, (M,) [or both, as will appear from what follows,] signifies He played, or sported, with the صِبْيَان [i. e. youths, or boys, or children]: (S:) or he acted in the manner of the صِبْيَان: (M, K: *) or both صِبًا and صَبَآءٌ, as inf. ns., signify the acting as a youth, or boy, or child; and the playing, or sporting, with youths, or boys, or children: (KL:) and ↓ تصبّى and ↓ تصابى, said of an old man, signify he acted in a youthful, boyish, or childish, manner.

(M, K.) b7: صَابَيْنَا عَنِ الحَمْضِ is a phrase mentioned by Az as meaning We turned away from the [plants called] حمض. (TA.) b8: And one says, الجَوَارِى يُصَابِينَ فِى السِّتْرِ, meaning يطلعن [i. e.

يَطَّلِعْنَ, but I think that فِى is a mistranscription for مِن, and that the meaning is, The girls, or young women, look from within the curtain].

Schultens as signifying Pro puero habuit. But the usage of this verb in any sense is app. post-classical.]

صَبًا [is of the fem. gender, and] is a subst. and an epithet, [so that one says رِيحٌ صَبًا, as well as صَبًا alone and رِيحُ الصَّبَا,] (M, TA,) [and signifies The east wind: or an easterly wind:] the wind that blows from the place of sunrise: (Msb:) or the wind of which the mean place whence it blows is the place where the sun rises when the night and day are equal; the opposite wind of which is the دَبُور: (S:) or the wind that faces the House [of God, i. e. the Kaabeh; app. meaning that blows from the point opposite to the corner, of the Kaabeh, that is between the Black Stone and the door]; as though yearning towards the House: (M, TA:) or, accord. to IAar, (M,) the wind of which the place whence it blows extends from the place of rising of الثُّرَيَّا [or the Pleiades] to [the place of] بَنَات نَعْش [meaning the tail of Ursa Major]: (M, K:) [it is often commended by poets as a gentle and pleasant gale, like the Zephyr with us:] the dual is صَبَوَانِ and صَبَيَانِ: (Lh, M, K:) and pl. صَبَوَاتٌ and أَصْبَآءٌ. (M, K.) صِبًا [also written صِبًى] and ↓ صَبَآءٌ, the former with kesr and the short alif, and the latter with fet-h and the long alif, (S, Msb,) [both mentioned before as inf. ns.,] Youth, or boyhood; the state of the صَبِىّ [q. v.]: (S:) or childhood. (Msb.) One says, كَانَ ذٰلِكَ فِى صِبَاهُ and صَبَائِهِ [That was in his youth or boyhood: or in his childhood]. (Msb.) [See also an ex. in a verse cited in the first paragraph of art. شفع.] b2: And the former [or each, as is shown in the first sentence of this art.,] has also a signification derived from الشَّوْقُ [or “ desire; ” i. e., each signifies also An inclining to ignorant, or foolish, or silly, and youthful, conduct; and amorous dalliance]: (S:) and ↓ صَبْوَةٌ signifies [the same, as is also shown in the first sentence of this art., or, like صِبًا and صَبَآءٌ,] the ignorance, or foolishness, or silliness, of youth; (Lth, M, K;) and amorous dalliance. (Lth, TA.) [See an ex. of the first in a verse cited in the first paragraph of art. ادى; and another in a verse cited voce عَارَضَ.]

صَبْوَةٌ: see the next preceding paragraph.

صَبَآءٌ: see صَبًا.

صَبِىٌّ A youth, boy, or male child; syn. غُلَامٌ: (S:) or a young male child; (Mgh, Msb;) before he is called غُلَام: (Mgh:) or one that has not yet been weaned, (M, K,) so called from the time of his birth: (M:) and ↓ صَابٍ signifies the same as صَبِىٌّ; these two words being like قَادِرٌ and قَدِيرٌ: (TA:) the pl. of the former is صِبْيَةٌ [a pl. of pauc., in which the و is changed into ى because of the kesreh before it, like as is said in the M respecting another of the pls.,] (S, M, Msb, K, but not in the CK,) and صِبْوَةٌ (M, K, TA, in the CK صَبْوَةٌ,) and صُبْيَةٌ (M, K) and صَبْيَةٌ, (K, TA, but not in the CK,) [or rather the last two are quasi-pl. ns.,] and أَصْبٍ [another pl. of pauc.] (K) and أَصْبِيَةٌ [also a pl. of pauc.], (M, K,) but this last is said by J to have been unused, because the usage of صِبْيَةٌ rendered it needless, (TA,) and صِبْيَانٌ, (S, M, Msb, K, but not in the CK,) in which the و is changed into ى because of the kesreh before it, (M,) and صُبْيَانٌ, (M, K,) as some say, preserving the ى notwithstanding the dammeh, (M,) and صِبْوَانٌ (M, K, but not in the CK,) and صُبْوَانٌ: (M, K:) and [ISd says,] accord. to Sb, the dim. of صِبْيَةٌ is ↓ أُصَيْبِيَةٌ, and that of أَصْبِيَةٌ is ↓ صُبَيَّةٌ, each irreg.; but in my opinion, صُبَيَّةٌ is the dim. of صِبْيَةٌ, and أُصَيْبِيَةٌ is that of أَصْبِيَةٌ: (M:) [J says,] أُصَيْبِيَةٌ occurs in poetry as being the dim. of أَصْبِيَةٌ. (S.) ↓ صَبِيَّةٌ signifies A young woman, girl, or female child; (S, TA;) and so too, [sometimes,] صَبِىٌّ: (TA:) and the pl. is صَبَايَا.

(TA.) And (assumed tropical:) A bone below the lobe, or lobule, of each of the two ears: (K:) or, as some say, the head of the bone that is below the lobe, or lobule, of each of the two ears by the space of about three fingers put together. (M.) b5: And (tropical:) The edge (حَدّ) of the sword: (M, K, TA:) or the ridge thereof, (M, TA, in the copies of the K أَوْ غَيْرِهِ is erroneously put for أَوْ عَيْرُهُ, TA,) which rises in [i. e. along] its middle; (M, K, TA;) and likewise of a spear-head: (M, TA:) or, accord. to the A, that part of a sword below, or exclusive of, (دُونَ,) its ظُبَة [q. v.]. (TA.) b6: And (assumed tropical:) The head of the human foot; (M, A, TA; in the copies of the K رَأْسُ القَوْمِ is erroneously put for رَأْسُ القَدَمِ; TA;) i. e. the part [thereof] between its حِمَارَة [q. v.] and the toes. (A, TA.) And الصَّبِيَّانِ signifies also (assumed tropical:) The two sides of the [camel's saddle called] رَحْل. (M.) b7: It is also said that صِبْيَانُ الجَلِيدِ signifies (tropical:) The grains of hoar-frost that resemble pearls: and صِبْيَانُ المَطَرِ (tropical:) the small drops of rain: but accord. to the author of the “ Khasáïl,” it is صِئْبَان [pl. of صُؤَابَةٌ, q. v.], with ء and then ب. (TA.) صَبِيَّةٌ fem. of صَبِىٌّ, q. v.

صُبَيَّةٌ: see صَبِىٌّ, former half.

صَابٍ: see صَبِىٌّ, first sentence. b2: Also i. q. صَاحِبُ صَبْوَةٍ [i. e. One who indulges in youthful folly, and amorous dalliance]. (TA.) b3: Kureysh, (M,) or the Jews, (TA,) used to call the Companions of the Prophet صُبَاةٌ. (M, TA. [See صَابِئٌ, in art. صبأ.]) And Náfi' read [in the Kur ii. 59 and xxii. 17] الصَّابِينَ instead of الصَّابِئِينَ; (TA;) and [in v. 73] الصَّابِيُونَ instead of الصَّابِئُونَ. (TA voce صَابِئٌ.) b4: صُبَّى, a pl. of صَابٍ, is expl. as meaning Those who incline to conflicts and factions, seditions, or the like, and love to be foremost therein. (TA. [See صُبٌّ, in art. صب.]) الصَّابِيَةُ The oblique wind (النُّكَيْبَآءُ, dim. of النَّكْبَآءُ,) that blows in a direction between that of the east or easterly wind (الصَّبَا) and that of the north or northerly wind (الشَّمَال): (S, K:) it is very cold, (S and TA voce نَكْبَآءُ,) and very boisterous, and unattended by rain or by any good.

But this signification, though allowable as tropical, is perhaps post-classical.] b3: اِبْنُ أُنْس: and فُلَانٌ ابْنُ أُنْسِ فُلَانٍ: and كَيْفَ ابْنُ أُنْسِكَ: and كَيْفَ تَرَى ابْنَ أُنْسِكَ: see إِنْسٌ.

إِنْسٌ: see أُنْسٌ, in two places.

A2: (tropical:) A chosen, select, particular, or special, friend or companion; (S, K;) as also اِبْنُ إِنْسٍ (S, K,) or ↓ اِبْنُ أُنْسٍ. (So in a copy of the A.) You say, هٰذَا إِنْسِى; (S;) and إِنْسُكَ, and ابْنُ إِنْسِكَ; (K;) (tropical:) This is my chosen, or particular, friend; (S;) and thy chosen, or particular, friend. (K.) And فُلَانٌ ابْنُ إِنْسِ فُلَانٍ (S,) or فلان ↓ ابن أُنْسِ (A,) (tropical:) Such a one is the chosen, or particular, friend of such a one. (S, A.) One also says, كَيْفَ ابْنُ إِنْسِكَ and ↓ أُنْسِكَ, (S, M,) or كَيْفَ تَرَي ابْنَ

إِنْسِكَ (Az, Fr, A) and ↓ أُنْسِكَ, (A,) meaning himself, (Az, Fr, S, S TA,) i. e., (assumed tropical:) How dost thou regard me in my companionship with thee? (S:) or the meaning is, (tropical:) how dost thou find thyself? (A:) or how is thyself? (M, TA.) A3: Mankind; (S, M, A, K;) the opposite of جِنٌّ; (Msb;) as also ↓ أَنَسٌ, (Akh, S, TA,) and ↓ إِنْسَانٌ; (A, K;) the last being a gen. n., (Msb,) but applied to the male (S, * Msb) and female, (S, Msb, K,) and sing. and pl.: (Msb:) one is [also] termed ↓ إِنْسِىٌّ and ↓ أَنَسِىٌّ; (S, K;) the former of which is a rel. n. from إِنْسٌ; (M;) [and the latter, from أَنَسٌ: the fem. of each is with ة:] the vulgar apply to a woman, instead of ↓ إِنْسَانٌ, [which is the more approved,] ↓ إِنْسَانَةٌ: (S, K:) this latter [accord. to some] should not be used: (S:) but it is correct, though rare: it is said in the K to occur in poetry, but supposed to be post-classical: it occurs, however, in classical poetry, and has been transmitted by several authors: (MF:) the pl. (of إِنْسٌ, M, TA) is آنَاسٌ; (M, K, TA;) and (of the same, K in art. نوس, or of ↓ إِنْسَانٌ, M) أُنَاسٌ, (M, K ubi suprà,) with which نَاسٌ is syn., (S, M, Msb, K,) being a contraction thereof; (Sb, S, M, Msb;) and (of ↓ إِنْسِىٌّ, S, M, or ↓ أَنَسِىٌّ, S, or of ↓ إِنْسَانٌ, Lh, S, M, Msb) أَنَاسِىٌّ, (Lh, S, M, Msb, K,) like as كَرَاسِىُّ is pl. of كُرْسِىٌّ, or like as سَرَاحينُ is pl. of سِرحَانٌ, but ى being substituted for ن, (M, TA,) after the same manner as they say أَرَانٍ for أَرَانِبُ; (Fr, TA;) and أَنَاسٍ, (Lh, M,) in the accus. case أَنَاسِىَ, as the word is read in the Kur xxv. 51, by Ks, (TA,) and by Yahyà Ibn-El-Hárith, (K, TA,) dropping the ى between the second and last radical letters, [for, with some others, it seems, they held the word to be derived from the root نسى,] (TA,) and أَنَاسِيَةٌ, (S, M, K,) in which the ة is a substitute for one of the two yás in أَنَاسِىُّ, a pl. of إِنْسَانٌ; or, accord. to Mbr, أَنَاسِيَةٌ is pl. of إِنْسِىٌّ, [in the TA, of إِنْسِيَّةٌ, which I regard as a mistranscription,] and is like زَنَادَقَةٌ for زَنَادِيقُ, and فَرَازِتَةٌ for فَرَازِينُ; (M, TA;) and you say also إِنْسَيُّونَ. (TA.) نَاسٌ is masc., as in the Kur ii. 19, &c.; and sometimes fem., as meaning A tribe, or a body of men, قَبِيلَةٌ, or طَائِفَةٌ; as in the phrase, mentioned by Th, جَآءَتَْكَ النَّاسُ, meaning, The tribe, or portion of people (قِطْعَة), came to thee. (M, TA.) ↓ بَنُوالإِنْسَانِ means The sons of Adam. (M.) And النَّاسُ النَّاسُ, an expression mentioned by Sb, means, Men in every place and in every state are men: a poet says, بِلَادٌ بَهَا كُنَّا وَكُنَّا نُحِبُّهَا

إِذِ النَّاسُ نَاسٌ وَالبِلَادُ بِلَادُ meaning [A country in which we were, and which we used to love,] since the men were ingenuous men, and the country was a fruitful country. (M.) The following trad., لَوْ أَطَاعَ اللّٰهُ النَّاسَ فِى النَّاسِ لَمْ يَكُنْ نَاسٌ If God complied with the prayer of men with respect to men there would be no men, is said to mean, that men love to have male children born to them, and not females, and if there were no females, or if the females were not, men would cease to be. (TA.) It is related that a party of the jinn, or genii, came to a company of men, and asked permission to go in to them, whereupon the latter said to them, Who are ye? and they answered, نَاسٌ مِنَ الجنِّ [A people of the jinn], making their answer to accord. with common usage; for it is customary for men, when it is said to them, Who are ye? to answer, نَاسٌ مِنْ بَنِى فُلَانٍ [Men of the sons of such a one]. (IJ, M, L: but in the L, for ناس, in both instances, we find أُنَاسٌ.) [See also نَاسٌ in art. نوس.] Respecting the derivation of ↓ إِنْسَانٌ, authors differ, though they agree that the final ن is augmentative: the Basrees say that it is from الإِنْسُ; (Msb;) and its measure is فِعْلَانٌ; (S, Msb;) but an addition, of ى, is made in its dim., [which is أُنَيْسِيَانٌ,] like as an addition is made in رُوَيْجِلٌ, the dim. of رَجُلٌ: (S:) [but it should be observed that رُوَيْجِلٌ is more probably the dim. of رَاجِلٌ:] some say that it is from إِينَاسٌ, signifying “perception,” or “sight,” and “knowledge,” and “sensation;” because man uses these faculties: (TA:) and Mohammad Ibn-'Arafeh El-Wásitee says that men are called إِنسِيُّونِ because they are seen (يُؤْنَسُونَ, i. e. يُرَوْنَ), and that the jinn are called جِنّ because they are [ordinarily] concealed (مُجْتَنُّونَ, i. e. مُتَوَارُونَ,) from the sight of men: (TA:) [it is said in the B, as cited in the TA, that the form أَنِسَان is also used for إِنْسَانٌ; as though it were a dual, meaning “a double associate,” i. e., an associate with the jinn and with his own kind; for it is added, أَنِسَ بِالآْجِنِّ وَأَنِسَ بِالآْخَلْقِ:] some derive the word from النَّوْسُ, signifying “motion:” (TA:) some (namely, the Koofees, Msb) say that it is originally إِنسِيَانٌ, (S, Msb, TA,) of the measure إِفْعِلَانٌ, (S, Msb,) from النِّسْيَانُ [“forgetfulness”], (Msb,) and contracted to make it more easy of pronunciation, because of its being so often used; (S;) but it is restored to its original in forming the dim., (S, Msb,) which is أُنَيْسِيَانٌ: (Msb, TA:) this form of the dim., they say, shows the original form of the word which is its source; (TA;) and they adduce as an indication of its derivation the saying of I'Ab, إِنَّمَا سُمِّيَ

إِنْسَانًا لِأَنَّهُ عُهِدَ إِلَيْهِ فَنَسِىَ [He (meaning the first man) was only named انسان because he was commanded and he forgot]: (S, TA:) [in like manner,] it is said that النَّاسُ is originally النَّاسِى; the former of these, accord. to one reading, and the latter accord. to another, occurs in the Kur ii. 195; the latter referring to Adam, and to the words of the Kur in xx. 114: (TA:) but Az holds that إِنْسِيَانٌ is of the measure فِعْلِيَانٌ, from الإِنْسُ, and similar to خِرْصِــيَانٌ. (L, TA. *) أَنَسٌ i. q. أُنْسٌ, q. v. (S, K.) A2: Also i. q. إِنْسٌ, q. v. (Akh, S, TA.) b2: Also A numerous company of men; (K, * TA;) many men. (TA.) b3: A tribe (حَىُّ) staying, residing, dwelling, or abiding: (S, K:) the people of a place of alighting or abode: (M, TA: [but in the latter, in one place, said to be إِنْسٌ, with kesr; though a verse cited in both, as an ex., shows it to be أَنَسٌ:]) the inhabitants of a house: (AA, TA:) pl. (of the word in the first sense, of these three, TA, and in the second, M, TA) آنَاسٌ. (M, TA.) b4: One with whom a person is sociable. (Ham p. 136.) You say also, هُمْ أَنَسُ فُلَانٍ They are they with whom such a one is sociable (اَلَّذِينَ يَسْتَأْنِسُ إِلَيْهِمْ). (Lh, M.) And هُوَ أَنَسُ فُلَانٍ He is much accustomed to the serving of him. (Har p. 472.) أَنَسَةٌ i. q. أُنْسٌ, q. v. (S, K.) إِنْسِىُّ Of, or belonging to, mankind; human; [as also ↓ أَنَسِىٌّ, and ↓ إِنْسَانِىُّ;] a rel. n. from

إِنْسٌ. (M.) b2: A human being; a man; as also ↓ أَنَسِىٌّ, (S, K,) and ↓ إِنْسَانٌ. (S, A, Msb, K.) See إِنْسٌ, in two places. b3: [Domestic, as opposed to wild. Ex.] حُمُرٌ إِنْسِيَّةٌ Domestic asses; asses that are accustomed to the houses: commonly known as written with kesr to the أُنْسِيَّةٌ: but in the book of Aboo-Moosà is an indication of its being with damm to the ء [أَنَسِيَّةٌ]: and as some relate a trad. in which it occurs, أَنَسِيَّةٌ, which is said to be of no account. (TA.) b4: The left side (Az, S, M, Msb, K) of an animal, (Msb,) or of a beast and of a man, (M,) or of anything: (Az, S, K:) or the right side: (As, S:) [but the latter seems to be a mistake:] Az says that Lth has well explained this term and its contrary وَحْشِىٌّ, saying that the latter is the right side of every beast; and the former, the left side; agreeably with those of the first authority in sound learning; and [that] it is related of El-Mufaddal and As and AO, that all of them asserted the latter to be, of every animal except man, [the “far” side, or “off” side,] the side on which it is not milked nor mounted; and the former, [the near side,] the side on which the rider mounts and the milker milks: (TA in art. وحش:) [and the like is said, as a citation from Az, in the Msb in art. وحش: but after this, in my copy of the Msb, there seems to be an omission; for it is immediately added, “But Az says, This is not correct in my opinion:”] it is said that everything that is frightened declines to its right side; for the beast is approached to be mounted and milked on the left side, and, fearing thereat, runs away from the place of fear, which is the left side, to the place of safety, which is the right side: (S, * IAmb in Msb; both in art. وحش:) [accordingly,] Er-Rá'ee describes a beast as declining to the side termed الوحشى because frightened on the left side: (S and Msb in art. وحش:) and 'Antarah alludes to one's shrinking with the side so termed from the whip, [which he likens to a cat,] because the whip of the rider is in his right hand: (S in art. وحش:) but Abu-l-'Abbás says that people differ respecting these two terms when relating to a man: that, accord. to some, they mean the same in this case as in the cases of horses and other beasts of carriage, and of camels: but some say, that in the case of a man, the latter term means the part next the shoulder-blade; and the former, the part next the arm-pit. (TA in art. وحش.) Of every double member of a man, as the upper half of each arm, and the two fore arms, and the two feet, it means That [side] which is towards the man; and وحشىّ, that which turns away from him: (As, S:) or, of the foot, the former means that [side] which is towards the other foot; [i. e., the inner side;] and the latter, the contrary of the former. (TA in art. وحش.) Of a bow, (S, M, K,) or of a Persian bow, (TA in art. وحش,) That [side] which is towards thee; (S, K;) and وحشىّ, the back: (S and K in art. وحش:) or the former, that [side] which is next to the archer; and the latter, that which is next to the animal shot at: (M, TA:) or of a bow, whether Persian or not is not said, [the former means the side against which the arrow lies; and] the latter, the side against which the arrow does not lie. (TA in art. وحش.) أَنَسِىٌّ: see إِنْسٌ and إِنْسِىٌّ, each in two places.

إِنْسَانٌ and إنْسَانَةٌ: see إِنْسٌ, passim; and إِنْسِىٌّ. b2: إِنْسَانُ العَيْنِ (tropical:) The image that is seen [reflected] in the black of the eye; (S, K;) what is seen in the eye, like as is seen in a mirror, when a thing faces it: (Zj in his “Khalk el-Insán:”) or the pupil, or apple, (نَاظِر,) of the eye: (M:) or the black (حَدَقَة) of the eye: (Msb:) pl. أَنَاسِىُّ, (S, Msb, K,) but not أُنَاسٌ. (S.) إِنْسَانِىٌّ: see إِنْسِىٌّ, first signification.

إِنْسَانِيَّةٌ Human nature; humanity; as also نَاسُوتٌ, which is probably post-classical, opposed to لَاهُوتٌ, q. v., in art. ليه.]

أَنُوسٌ A tame, or gentle, dog; contr. of عَقُورٌ: pl. أُنُسٌ. (M, A, K.) b2: See also آنِسَةٌ.

أَنِيسٌ i. q. ↓ مُؤَانِسٌ [generally used as an epithet in which the quality of a subst. is predominant, meaning, A sociable, companionable, conversable, friendly, or familiar, person; a cheerful companion]: (S, K:) one with whom one is sociable, companionable, conversable, friendly, familiar, or cheerful: (K:) a person, (A,) or anything, (S,) by whose company, or converse, or presence, one is cheered, gladdened, solaced, or consoled. (S, A.) You say, مَا بِالدَّارِ أنِيسْ (or, as in some copies of the K, مِنْ أَنِيسٍ,) There is not in the house any one by whose company, or converse, or presence, one is cheered, gladdened, solaced, or consoled: (A:) or there is not in the house any one. (S, M, K.) [See also آنِسَةٌ.] b2: الأَنِيسُ (assumed tropical:) The domestic cock; (AA, K;) also called الشُّقَرُ. (TA.) b3: الأَنِيسَةُ (tropical:) The fire; (IAar, A, K;) as also ↓ مَأْنُوسَةُ, [imperfectly decl., being a proper name and of the fem. gender,] (M,) and ↓ المَأْنُوسَةُ, (M, K,) of which [says ISd] I know no verb: (M:) because, when a man sees it in the night, he becomes cheerful and tranquil thereat, even if it be in a desert land. (TA.) You say, بَاتَتِ الأَنِيسَةُ

أَنِيسَتَهُ (tropical:) [The fire was during night his cheerful companion, or his cheerer by its presence]. (A, TA.) آنَسُ [More, and most, sociable, &c.]. Hence, آنَسُ مِنَ الحُمَّى (assumed tropical:) [A closer companion than fever]: a saying of the Arabs, meaning, that fever scarcely ever quits the patient; as though it were sociable with him. (M, TA.) جَارِيَةٌ آنِسَةٌ A girl of cheerful mind, (Lth, A, K, TA,) whose nearness, and conversation, or discourse, thou lovest, (Lth, TA,) or whose conversation, or discourse, and nearness, are loved: (A:) or a girl of pleasant conversation or discourse; as also ↓ أَنُوسٌ: (M:) and آنِسَةُ الحَدِيثِ who becomes sociable, companionable, conversable, friendly, familiar, or cheerful, by means of thy conversation or discourse: it does not mean who cheers thee [by conversation or discourse]: (S:) pl. أَوَانِسُ (Lth, A, TA) and آنِسَاتٌ: (Lth, TA:) and the pl. of أَنُوسٌ is أُنُسٌ. (M, TA.) [See also أَنِيسٌ.]
