بِأَيَّامِهَا: of the former instance you say, فِيهِ تَغْلِيبُ القَمَرِ عَلَى الشَّمْسِ In it is the attribution of predominance to the moon over the sun; and in the latter, فيه تَغْلِيبُ اللَّيْلِ عَلَى النَّهَارِ In it is the attribution of predominance to the night over the day.

فَقُلْ فِى مَقِيلٍ نَحْسُهُ مُتَغَيِّبِى

[thus in my copies of the S and in the TA; but we should read مُتَغَيِّبِ, whether it mean مُتَغَيِّبِى or not, as is shown by what follows: the verse may be rendered, So a delightful day, with ease and comfort, betided us: and say thou, of a place of midday-sleep whereof the ill luck was absent from me,. . .]: but Fr says that the word متغيّب is marfooa, [i. e. that the right reading is مُتَغَيِّبُ, meaning simply absent,] that the verse is مُكْفَأ [or made faulty in the termination], and that it is not allowable to make that word refer to مَقِيلٍ, like as it is not allowable to say مَرَرْتُ بِرَجُلٍ أَبُوهُ قَائِمٍ. (S, TA. [One might be tempted to suppose that we should read فَقِلْ; but this would not suit the context, which see in Ahlwardt's “ Divans of the six ancient Arabic poets,”

p. 119.]) b2: [غاب, inf. n. غَيْبَةٌ, is also said of the mind (القَلْب), meaning (assumed tropical:) It was, or became, absent. The inf. n. (غَيْبَةٌ) is often used as meaning (assumed tropical:) Absence of mind; and particularly, from self and others by its being exclusively occupied by the contemplation of divine things: see an ex. voce شَوًى; and another voce سَكِينَةٌ.] b3: مَا غَابَ عَنْهُ ابْنُ أَبِى قُحَافَةَ (assumed tropical:) [Ibn-Abee-Koháfeh was not a stranger to it, i. e. was not unacquainted with it,] occurs in a trad. respecting a satirical saying of Hassán against [the tribe of] Kureysh; meaning that Aboo-Bekr [the son of Aboo-Koháfeh] was skilled in genealogies and traditions, and that it was he who instructed Hassán. (TA.) b4: and one says also, غاب الرَّجُلُ, inf. n. غَيْبٌ and مَغِيبٌ; and ↓ تغيّب; The man journeyed; and went away, or far away.

See also غَيَابٌ. b2: And see 8.3 مُغَايَبَةٌ signifies The being absent, &c., one from the other. (KL.) See also 1, former half. b2: Also The addressing words to another [in his absence,] not in his presence, not face to face; (KL;) contr. of مُخَاطَبَةٌ. (S, TA.) [You say, اغابت, inf. n. as above, He held a verbal communication with him in his absence, i. e. by means of a letter or letters, or by a messenger or messengers.]4 اغابت She (a woman) had her husband, (S, Msb, TA,) or one of her family, (TA,) absent from her.

(TA.) [It may also mean He expressed, or signified, an evil opinion of him by making signs with the side of the mouth, or with the eye, or with the head, or otherwise; as is indicated in the TA in arts. لمز and همز.]

غَابٌ: see غَابَةٌ, in three places.

غَيْبٌ Whatever is absent, or hidden, from one; (S, A, Msb, K, TA;) as though it were an inf. n. used in the sense of the act. part. n. [in which the meaning of a subst. is predominant]; (TA;) and so ↓ غَائِبٌ, which [in this sense] is a subst., like كَاهِلٌ, (K, TA,) or an act. part. n. used in the sense of a subst.: (MF:) anything that is absent, or hidden, from the eyes; invisible, unseen, or unapparent; whether it be, or be not, perceived in the heart, or mind: (IAar, TA:) [or anything unperceivable; absent from the range, or beyond the reach, of perception by sense, or of mental perception; or undiscoverable unless by means of divine revelation; a mystery, or secret, such as an event of futurity;] a thing that has been hidden from men, and with which the Prophet has acquainted them, of the events of the resurrection and of Paradise and of Hell &c.; thus in the Kur ii. 2; (Zj, TA;) and [hence] Zj explains الغَيْب as meaning, in the Kur lxxxi. 24, that which has been revealed: (TA in art. ضن:) pl. غُيُوبٌ. (Msb.) [See also the Ksh and Bd in ii. 2.] [Hence, عَالَمُ الغَيْبِ The world of the unseen; the invisible world.] And [hence also] one says, رَجَمَ بِالغَيْبِ [and قَذَفَ بِالغَيْبِ (see art. قذف)] He spoke of that which he did not know: (Ham p. 494:) and قَالَ رَجْمًا بِالغَيْبِ He said conjecturally, [or speaking of that which was hidden from him or unknown by him,] without evidence, and without proof. (Msb in art. رجم, q. v.) b2: And (assumed tropical:) Doubt, or a doubting: (K:) but some disapprove this: some regard it as tropical: and some pronounce it correct: (MF, TA:) pl. غِيَابٌ and غُيُوبٌ. (K.) A poet says, أَنْتَ نَبِىٌّ تَعْلَمُ الغِيَابَا لَا قَائِلًا إِفْكًا وَلَا مُرْتَابَا [Thou art a prophet, knowing doubts, or things doubted; not saying a lie, nor a thing suspected: or, more probably, the meaning is, the things unseen]. (TA.) b3: Also A place, in the ground, that hides, or conceals, one: (TA:) a low, or depressed, place in the ground, or in a tract of land: (S, K, TA:) or any place such that one knows not what is in it: and a place such that one knows not what is behind it: (Sh, TA:) pl. غُيُوبٌ. (TA.) Hence the phrase عَنْ ظَهْرِ غَيْبٍ in a verse of Lebeed cited voce ظَهْرٌ, q. v. (TA.) [Hence also] one says, سَمِعْتُ صَوْتًا مِنْ وَرَآءِ الغَيْبِ i. e. [I heard a sound, or voice,] from [behind] a place that I saw not. (A, TA.) And تَنَاوَلَهُ بِظَهْرِ الغَيْبِ بِمَا يَسُوؤُهُ: see 8. And تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ عَنْ ظَهْرِ غَيْبٍ (A) or عَنْ ظَهْرِ الغَيْبِ (TA, and A and O in art. ظهر) [app. He spoke of it by memory; in the absence of a book or the like; as one says in modern Arabic, عَلَى الغَائِب. See also ظَهْرٌ.]

b4: Also The خَمْصَة [i. e. pit, or depression, as is shown by what here follows, (thus in the A, and in the Ksh in ii. 2, in the TA حُفْرَة, which has a similar meaning,)] that is in the place where the kidney is situate, (Ksh, A, TA,) and which swells up when the beast becomes big in the belly: so says ISh: (Ksh ubi suprà:) or the خَمْصَة that is next to the kidney: (Bd in ii. 2: [De Sacy doubted respecting its meaning, but conjectured that it might be thus: see his Anthol. Gramm. Arabe p. 55:]) pl. غُيُوبٌ: one says, شَرِبَتِ الدَّابَّةُ حَتَّى

وَارَتْ غُيُوبَ كُلَاهَا, (ISh, Ksh ubi suprà, A, TA,) meaning هُزُومَهَا [i. e. The beast drank until it concealed the pits of its kidneys]. (A, TA.) b5: and Fat: (K, TA:) i. e. the fat of the ثَرْب [q. v.] of a sheep or goat: so called because it is hidden from the eye. (TA.) A2: See also غَائِبٌ.

غَيَبٌ: see غَائِبٌ, in two places.

غَابَةٌ is originally [غَيَبَةٌ] of the measure فَعَلَةٌ, with fet-h to the ع. (Msb.) It signifies A low, or depressed, place, or a hollow in the ground, (El-Hawázinee, K, TA,) before which, or in the way to which, (دُونَهَا,) is an eminence. (El-Hawá- zinee, TA.) b2: And (K) i. q. أَجَمَةٌ: (S, K, TA:) [i. e.] A bed of canes or reeds: (AHn, Msb, TA:) and [a thicket, wood, or forest; like أَجَمَةٌ;] a collection of trees, (AHn, ISd, TA,) densely disposed; so called because it conceals what is in it: (ISd, TA:) or a tall أَجَمَة, having high, or very high, extremities [app. to its canes or reeds]: (TA:) pl. غَابَاتٌ (Msb, TA) and [coll. gen. n.]

↓ غَابٌ. (S, Msb, TA.) b3: And (assumed tropical:) A long spear (K, TA) that has extremities like those of the أَجَمَة [expl. above]: (TA:) [but I think that this addition in the TA correctly applies to غَابَةٌ signifying a number of spears, like a bed of canes or reeds, or like a forest; agreeably with two of the explanations here following:] or a spear that quivers in the wind: (K, TA:) or (tropical:) numerous spears, like abundant and dense trees: (A:) or an assemblage of spears; app. so called as being likened to a غابة meaning an أَجَمَة of dense trees: (ISd, TA:) pl. غَابَات and [coll. gen. n.] ↓ غَابٌ. (TA.) One says, أَتَوْنَا فِى غَابَةٍ i. e. (tropical:) [They came to us] amid numerous spears, like abundant and dense trees: (A:) or غابة may be used in this case in the sense here following. (TA.) b4: And A company, or congregated body, of men: (Aboo-Jábir ElAsadee, K, TA:) pl. غَابَاتٌ and [coll. gen. n.]

↓ غَابٌ. (TA.) غَيْبَةٌ an inf. n. [See 1, in several places.] b2: Also, and ↓ غَيَابَةٌ, A low, or depressed, piece of land or ground: so in the phrases وَقَعْنَا فِى غَيْبَةٍ and غَيَابَةٍ [app. meaning We lighted upon a low, or depressed, piece &c.; or perhaps the meaning may be we fell into &c.]. (S.) b3: See also غَيَابَةٌ.

غِيبَةٌ the subst. from اِغْتَابَهُ: (Msb:) it signifies [Evil speech respecting a person; or such speech in his absence; not always, though generally, meaning with truth:] evil speech respecting a person in his absence; (TA;) or a saying of him, in his absence, what would grieve him (S, TA) if he heard it; (S;) with truth: (S, TA:) or speech respecting a person imputing to him what he dislikes, of vices, or faults, with truth: (Msb:) when it is false, it is termed بُهْتَانٌ: (S, Msb, TA:) or an imputing to a person a vice, or fault, or the like; and a mentioning him with what is in him of evil; (K, TA;) or a saying of him what would grieve him: (TA:) or it may be speech imputing good or evil. (K, * TA.) غَيِبَانٌ or غَيْبَانٌ, [accord. to different copies of the K, between which the TA does not enable us to decide with certainty, as it only states, with respect to the ى, that it is مُخَفَّفَة, which may mean either the contr. of doubled or the contr. of movent, though the former is the more general meaning, (in the TA it is said to be erroneously written in a copy of the K with a final ت instead of ن,)] and ↓ غَيِّبَانٌ, The roots of trees, (K, TA,) that are hidden from view: or, accord. to AHn, the غيبان and ↓ غيّبان and ↓ غَيَابَة, of plants, or herbage, are, with the Arabs, what the sun has not shone upon: and accord. to Aboo-Ziyád ElKilábee, the غيبان and ↓ غيّبان of plants, or herbage, and also of their roots, are what is con-cealed from the sun, so as to be not shone upon by it. (L, TA.) غَيِّبَانٌ: see the next preceding paragraph, in three places.

غَيَابٌ A thing that hides, or conceals, a thing from one: (Meyd:) and hence, (Meyd, TA,) a grave; (S, Meyd, TA;) and so ↓ غَيَابَةٌ: (TA:) one says, غَيَابُهُ ↓ غَيَّبَهُ (S, Meyd, TA) and ↓ غَيَابَتُهُ (TA) meaning دُفِنَ فِى قَبْرِهِ (S, Meyd, TA) [i. e. May he be buried in his grave]: an imprecation of death against the man. (Meyd.) غَيَابَةٌ The part of anything that veils, or conceals, one. (K.) And hence, (K,) The bottom of a جُبّ [or well]; (S, K, * TA;) or this, accord. to some, is the primary signification; as also ↓ غَيْبَةٌ, accord. to one reading, in the Kur xii. 10; (TA;) [and غَيَايَةٌ;] and of a valley; (S, TA;) &c.: (TA:) pl. غَيَابَاتٌ. (K, TA.) [And A covert, or place of concealment, of birds. (See ظِلَالَةٌ.)] See also غَيَابٌ, in two places: and غَيْبَةٌ. b2: and see غَيِبَانٌ.

غَائِبٌ act. part. n. of 1 [signifying Absent; distant, or remote; and hidden, concealed, or unapparent; or absent from the range, or beyond the reach, of perception by sense, or of mental perception]: pl. (applied to men, K, TA) غُيَّبٌ and غُيَّابٌ (S, Msb, K) and غَائِبُونَ (K) and ↓ غَيَبٌ, (S, Mgh, K,) or rather the last is a quasi-pl. n., (TA,) and ↓ غَيْبٌ, [which is also properly speaking a quasi-pl. n.,] like صَحْبٌ: (Msb [in which غَيَبٌ is not mentioned]:) the ى in ↓ غَيَبٌ remains unchanged, notwithstanding the two fet-hahs, because it is likened to صَيَدٌ, and, although it is a pl. [in signification] and صَيَدٌ is an inf. n., it may be used as meant for an inf. n. (S, TA.) b2: See also غَيْبٌ, first sentence. b3: Also A run in which a horse reserves [somewhat of his force for the time of need]. (A in art. شهد: see شَاهِدٌ.) مَغِيبٌ [an inf. n.: b2: and also a n. of place and of time, signifying] The place [and the time] of setting of the sun and of the moon [&c.]. (Msb.) مُغِيبٌ and مُغِيبَةٌ, (Mgh, Msb, K,) or you say مُغِيبَةٌ [only], with ة, and [in the contr. sense]

هي

أ1 هَآءَ, aor. ـَ and يَهِيْءُ, (K; the latter not of respectable authority, Lh;) inf. n. هَيْئَةٌ, He was, or became, of good, or goodly, form or appearance, or other properties denoted by the term هَيْئَة, q. v. (K.) b2: [هَيُؤَ, accord. to the K, signifies the same: but see below.] b3: هَيُؤَ, accord. to IHsh and others, the only verb of this form whose medial radical letter is ى: (MF:) accord. to the K, syn. with هَآءَ, in a sense indicated above: but IJ states that it has a superlative sense; that it is to be classed with قَضُوَ “ excellent [or how excellent (see بَطُؤَ voce بُطَآنَ)] is he in his judging! ” and رَمُوَ “ excellent [or how excellent] is he in his throwing, or shooting! ” [wherefore it signifies Excellent, or how excellent, is he in his form or appearance! &c.;] and that it is, like قَضُوَ [and رَمُوَ], invariable [as to person, tense, and mood]. He observes that, as a verb of the measure فَعُلَ is formed from one whose final radical letter is ى, [as قَضُوَ and رَمُوَ from قَضَى and رَمَى,] so is this formed on the same measure from a verb whose medial radical letter is ى: and that it is invariable [as to person, tense, and mood,] because of its resemblance, in its superlative sense, to the class of verbs of wonder, and to نِعْمَ and بِئْسَ. He further remarks, that they [the Arabs] have abstained from forming a verb on the measure فَعُلَ [variable as to person, tense, and mood,] from one whose medial radical letter is ى, fearing to make what is difficult to pronounce still more so; for in that case they would be obliged to say أَبُوعُ بُعْتُ, and بُوعَا; and, as would also happen if a variable verb of the same measure were formed from one whose final radical letter is ى, the change of ى into و, which is more difficult to pronounce, would thus become frequent. (TA.) b4: هَآءَ إِلَيْهِ, aor. ـَ inf. n. هِيْئَةٌ, He desired, longed for, longed to see, him or it. (K.) 2 هيّأ, inf. n. تَهْيِئَةٌ and تَهْيِىْءٌ, [primarily signifies He invested him with, or made him to have, هَيْءَة, as meaning garb, guise, &c. See Bd xviii. 9. b2: And hence,] He prepared, provided, disposed, arranged, or put into a right, or good state, &c. (S, K.) [And hence, He rendered an affair feasible, or practicable; he facilitated it.]5 تهيّأ [He, or it, was, or became, prepared, provided, disposed, arranged, or put into a right or good state, &c. And hence, It (an affair) was, or became, feasible, or practicable: and it (a thing) was, or became, attainable, or within power or reach.] b2: تهيّأ لِلْأَمْرِ; and هَآء لَهُ, (S, K,) aor. ـَ (K) and يَهِىْءُ, (S, K,) inf. n. هَيْئَةٌ; (S;) He prepared himself for the thing. (K.) Ex.

وَقَالَتْ هِئْتُ لَكَ And she said, I have prepared myself for thee: accord. to one reading [ for هَيْتَ, in the Kur, xii. 23]. (Akh, S.) b3: [See also تهنّأ.] b4: تهيّأ لَهُ الأَمْرُ, (Msb, K, art. اتى, &c.,) or الشَّىْءٌ, (S, art. اتى, &c.,) The thing, or affair, was, or became, feasible, or practicable, to him; and the thing was attainable.] b5: تهيّأ لِلْبُكَآءِ [He was ready, or about, to weep: a phrase of frequent occurrence; like أَرَادَ البُكَآءَ, and هَمَّ بِالْبُكَاءِ.] (S, art. جهش, &c.) 6 تَهَايَؤُوا عَلَى ذٰلِكَ They agreed together upon that, or to do that. (K, * TA.) هَىْءٌ and هِىْءٌ The calling, or a call, to food and beverage. (K.) b2: The calling, or a call, to camels to drink: (K:) or, [rather,] a call to camels to food, or provender. (TA.) b3: [See arts. جيأ and هأ.]

(تَنَبَّهْ); like صَهْ, which signifies “ Be silent! ” (K;) the interjection يا being put before it in like manner as it is in the saying of Esh-Shemmakh, أَلَا يَا اسْقِيَانِى قَبْلَ غَارَةِ سَنْجَالِ [Come now! O, give me to drink, before the expedition of Sinjáb!]; (TA;) and هىء being indeclinable, with a vowel for its termination to obviate the occurrence of two quiescent letters, and with fet-hah as the final vowel because it is more easy of pronunciation than the others in this case. (K, TA.) b2: [See also art. شيأ.]

هَيْئَةٌ and ↓ هِيْئَةٌ Form, fashion, shape, aspect, or appearance; figure, person, mien, feature, or lineaments; (S, TA;) guise; or external state or condition; (Msb;) state with regard to apparel and the like; or garb; (Lth;) state, condition, or case; quality, mode or manner of being: (K:) pl. هَيْآتٌ and هِيْآتٌ. (TA.) b2: حَسَنُ الهَيْئَةِ [of goodly form, aspect, or appearance, guise, state of apparel, garb, &c.]. (S.) b3: [Also, goodliness of form &c.: see 1. See also سَمْتٌ, for an addition.] b4: [هَيْئَةٌ عَارِضَةٌ, in Logic, An accidental mode.] b5: أَقِيلُوا ذَوِى الهَيْآتِ عَثَرَاتِهِمْ, in a trad., signifies, Forgive ye the people of good qualities &c., who keep to one state and way, their slips. It alludes to those who make a slip unwittingly. (TA.) هِيْئَةٌ: see هَيْئَةٌ.

(TA.) You say, جاب الصَّخْرَةَ He made a hole in the rock; (A, TA;) perforated, pierced, or bored, it. (TA.) Hence, in the Kur [lxxxix. 8], وَثَمُودَ الَّذِينَ جَابُوا الصَّخْرَ بِالوَادِ (Fr, S, TA) And Thamood, who made holes in the rocks, (Fr, TA,) or cut the rocks, (Bd, Jel,) [or hollowed them out,] and made them dwellings, in the valley, (Fr, Bd, Jel, TA,) i. e., in Wádi-l-Kurà. (Bd, Jel.) You say also, جاب القَمِيصَ, (S, A, K,) aor. ـُ [inf. n. جَوْبٌ;] (S, K, and Msb in art. جيب;) and aor. ـِ (S, K,) [inf. n., app., جِيبٌ, originally جَوْبٌ; see a verse cited below, and a remark of Sh thereon;] and ↓ جوّبهُ; (A, K;) He hollowed out, or cut out in a round form, the جَيْب of the shirt: (S, and Msb in art. جيب:) or he cut the جَيْب of the shirt: (A:) or he made a جَيْب to the shirt; (K;) as also جَيَّبَهُ, (S, and Msb in art. جيب,) inf. n. تَجْيِيبٌ.

And جَوَّابٌ جَأّبٌ (assumed tropical:) One who traverses the countries and gains wealth. (TA.) And جَوَّابُ الفَلَاةِ (assumed tropical:) The guide of the desert. (TA.) الجَائِبُ العَيْنِ The lion.

(K.) And [the pl.] جَوَائِبُ (assumed tropical:) Tidings from afar. (K.) And جَوَائِبُ الأَمْثَالِ (assumed tropical:) Current proverbs; such as traverse the countries. (TA.) أَجْوَبُ, [see 4,] in the following question, put to Mohammad, (TA,) أَىُّاللَّيْلِ أَجْوَبُ دَعْوَةً is either from جُبْتُ الأَرْضَ (K, TA) “ I traversed the land,” (TA,) and signifies (tropical:) More, or most, penetrating to the places whence the answer is imagined to proceed; (K, TA;) or [it signifies more, or most, quick in being answered,] from الدَّعْوَةُ ↓ جَابَتِ, of the measure فَعُلَت, [i. e., originally جَوُبَت,] “ the prayer became answered,”

which, however, is a verb not in use, like as فَقِيرٌ and شَدِيدٌ are imagined to be derived from فَقُرَ and شَدُدَ: (Z, TA:) or it signifies more, or most, quick of answer, [from أَجَابَ,] and is [anomalous, and] similar to أَطْوَعُ [“ more obedient ”], from الطَّاعَةُ, [i. e. from أَطَاعَ “ he obeyed,”] (M, L, TA,) and to أَعْطَى [“ more, or most, excellent in giving,” from أَعْطَى “ he gave ”], and لَوَاقِحَ [pl. of لَاقِحَةٌ a “ fecundating ” wind, (in the Kur xv. 22,) from أَلْقَحَ “ he, or it, fecundated ”], (M, L, K, TA,) and the like; (M, L, TA;) and if so, the word is anomalous because a word of the measure أَفْعَلُ of this kind is not derived from a verb of more than three letters, except in certain cases of deviation from the constant course of speech: (L, TA:) the meaning is, (tropical:) What part of the night is that [in which prayer most quickly penetrates? or] in which prayer is most quick in being answered? (Mgh:) or what part of the night is that in which God is most quick in answering prayer? (L, TA.) مَجُوبُ [pass. part. n. of 1, q. v.:] Anything cut in the middle, or of which the middle is cut out; as also ↓ مُجَوَّبٌ; (T, TA;) and the latter, anything hollowed out in the middle.

مَنْجَنِيقٌ (S, M, Msb, K) and مِنْجَنِيقٌ (Msb, K) and ↓ مَنْجَنُوقٌ (Lth, IAar, Msb, K) [A kind of balista;] an instrument [or engine of war] with which stones are cast (S, M, K, TA) at the enemy; made by binding [in some manner] very tall wooden poles, whereon is placed what is to be cast, which is then struck with a long pole, and so cast to a very distant place: [this imperfect description (the only one that I have found of this engine) seems to show that it was of a very simple and rude construction:] it is an ancient instrument, anterior to the invention [or use] of gunpowder and cannons by the Christians; and was used by Mohammad in the siege of Et-Táïf; but the first [of the Arabs] who used it in the time of paganism is said to have been Jedheemeh El-Abrash, of the Mulook et-Tawáïf: (TA:) pl. مَنْجَنِيقَاتٌ (S, Msb, K) and مَنْجَنُوقَاتٌ (Lth, TA) and مَجَانِيقُ (Sb, S, Msb, K) and مَجَانِقُ: (K:) dim. ↓ مُجَيْنِيقٌ: (Sb, S:) it is fem., (Lth, S, Msb, K, *) preferably, (Lth, TA,) and in most instances; (Msb;) and hence it is also called الأُنْثَى; (M in art. انث;) but sometimes it is masc.: (Msb, K:) and is arabicized, (S, Msb, K,) from the Persian (S, K) مَنْ چِى نِيكْ, i. e. “ How excellent am I! ” (S,) or مَنْ چِهْ نِيكْ, i. e. “ I, how excellent am I! ” (K;) [Golius asserts it to be from the Greek μάγγανον but this is the original of مَنْجَنُونٌ, which has a different meaning: its derivation, however, seems to have been unknown to the Arabs in general; for] some say that مَنْجَنِيقٌ is of the measure مَفْعَلِيلٌ, [so in copies of the S, but correctly مَنْفَعِيلٌ, as in the Msb and TA,] because of the phrase نُجْنَقُ مَرَّةً [see 1]: (S, Msb: *) or, (Msb,) accord. to Sb, (S,) it is of the measure فَنْعَلِيلٌ; (S, Msb;) because مَجَانِيقُ is its pl. and the dim. is مُجَينِيقٌ; and because, if the م were augmentative as well as the ن, there would be two augmentative letters at the beginning of the noun, and this may not be in substs. nor in epithets that are not conformable to augmented verbs; and if the ن were made an essential part of the word, the noun would be a quadriliteral-radical, and augmentative letters are not prefixed to words of this class except nouns conformable to their verbs, like مُدَحْرَجٌ: (S, TA:) but MF says that these disquisitions are unprofitable; for in his opinion, all the letters of the word are radical, since it is a foreign word. (TA.) مَنْجَنِيِقىٌّ [app. A maker of the kind of engine called منجنيق; being mentioned as a surname:] a rel. n. from منجنيق. (K.)

(TA.) And عَنْ مَرَاكِزِهِمْ ↓ أَتَوْهُمْ فَجَفَّلُوهُمْ [They came to them, and scared them, or frightened them, or made them to flee, away from their stations]. (TA.)
