(Msb.) b2: [Hence,] العَوْجَآءُ signifies The bow. (S, A, K.) b3: And عَوْجَآءُ applied to a woman, Inclining, or bending, towards her child, to suckle it. (TA.) And, so applied, That has become crooked by reason of leanness and hunger. (Ham p. 744.)

(TA.) b6: Hence, عُوجٌ signifies The legs of a horse or similar beast; (O, TA;) as ISd says, thus used as an epithet in which the quality of a subst. predominates [app. implying their having that bending, or curving, and tension of the sinews, termed تَجْنِيب, agreeably with what here follows]. (TA.) b7: And hence also, (TA,) خَيْلٌ عُوجٌ meaning Horses that have, in their hind legs, the quality termed تَجْنِيب.

(TA.) And one says خُطَّةٌ عَوْجَآءُ, and رَأْىٌ أَعْوَجُ, meaning [An affair, and an opinion,] not of a right kind. (A.) b10: الأَيَّامُ عُوجٌ رَوَاجِعُ [The days are apt to decline from the right course, apt to return,] is a prov., (Meyd, O, TA,) meaning fortune at one time declines from thee, and at another time returns to thee; (Meyd;) said by him at whose affliction one rejoices, or said on his part, and sometimes on an occasion of threatening: Az says that عُوجٌ, here, may be pl. of أَعْوَجُ, or of عَوْجَآءُ; or it may be pl. of ↓ عَائِجٌ, and originally عُوُجٌ. (O, TA.) [Hence,] العُوجُ is used as signifying The days [in allusion to their variableness with respect to good and evil]. (TA.) b11: and أَعْوَجُ is a [proper] name of A watering-trough. (Th, TA.) b12: See also the next paragraph, in four places.

(TA.) مَعَاجٌ A place to which one turns; or in which one remains, stays, dwells, or abides. (Har p. 325.) A2: Also an inf. n. of عَاجَ signifying “ he remained ” &c.: (K:) and of the verb in the phrase عُجْتُ البَعِيرَ. (S, O.) مُعْوَجٌّ: see أَعْوَجُ, first and second sentences.

عتر

1 عَتَرَ, aor. ـِ inf. n. عَتْرٌ [and تَعْتَارٌ (mentioned below in this paragraph), a form denoting repetition, or frequency, of the action, or its application to several objects, or it may be an inf. n. of which the verb is ↓ عتّر], He slaughtered [or sacrificed] (S, O, K, TA) an عَتِيرَة, (S, O,) [i. e.] a sheep or goat, or a gazelle or the like. (TA.) Sometimes a man, (S, O,) of the people of the Time of Ignorance, (S,) made a vow that, if he should see what he loved, he would slaughter such and such of his sheep or goats; and when the performance of the vow became obligatory, he would be unwilling to do so, and would slaughter gazelles instead of the sheep or goats: (S, O:) sometimes he would say, “If my camels amount to a hundred, I will slaughter for them an عَتِيرَة; ” but when they amounted to a hundred, he would be niggardly of the sheep or goat, and would hunt a gazelle, and slaughter it. (TA.) One says, هٰذِهِ أَيَّامُ تَرْجِيبٍ and تَعْتَارٍ

[These are days of the sacrificing of the عَتِيرَة]. (S, O.) 2 عَتَّرَ see above, first sentence.

عِتْرٌ Origin, or original state or condition; (S, O, K;) and natural disposition; like عِكْرٌ. (O.) One says, هُوَ كَرِيمُ العِتْرِ He is of generous origin. (TK.) And it is said in a prov., عَادَتْ إِلَى عِتْرِهَا لَمِيسُ Lemees [a proper name of a woman] returned to her original state or condition (S, O) and natural disposition: (O:) applied to him who has returned to a natural disposition which he had relinquished. (S, O.) [See also عِكْرٌ.]

A2: Also A certain plant, (S, O, K,) used medicinally, like the مَرْزَنْجُوش [or marjoram]; (S;) growing like this latter plant, in a straggling manner; and when it has grown tall, and its stem is cut, there comes forth from it what resembles milk: (TA:) accord. to Aboo-Ziyád, it is a plant of those termed أَحْرَار [pl. of حُرٌّ], having a small round fruit (جُرَىّ [dim. of جِرْوٌ]), which is sweet, or pleasant in taste, eaten by men; and it grows like as does the poppy, but is smaller: (AHn, O:) or certain small trees [or plants], (S, K, TA,) having round fruits (جِرَآء [pl. of جِرْوٌ]), like those of the poppy: (TA as on the authority of AHn:) AHn says, (O,) some assert it to mean the مَرْزَنْجُوش; (O, TA;) but, he adds, this I have not found to be known: (O:) and some say that it is the عَرْفَج: (TA:) the n. un. is عِتْرَةٌ: (S, O:) AHn says, a desert-Arab of Rabee'ah told me that this is a small tree [or plant], that rises to the height of a cubit, having many branches, and green, round leaves, like the تَنُّوم, and round fruits (جِرَآء), which are in pairs, near together, hanging down towards the ground, and sweet, or pleasant in taste, their taste being like that of small cucumbers: it seldom, or never, grows singly, but is found in pairs, or in fours, in one place: and some assert that it abounds with milk: (O:) it is also said to be a tree [or plant] that grows by the burrow of the [lizard called] ضَبّ, which mumbles it so that it does not increase; whence the saying هُوَ أَذَلُّ مِنْ عِتْرَةِ الضَّبِّ [He is more vile than the عترة of the ضبّ]: and it is also said, in the K, to signify the مَرْزَنْجُوش, mentioned above as being said to be a signification of عِتْرٌ: (TA:) also, the caper. (K, * TA.) It is said in a trad. that there is no harm in a man's treating himself medically with senna and عِتْر while in a state of إِحْرَام: (S, O:) which, some say, means that there is no harm in taking these from the sacred territory for such treatment. (O.) A3: Also An idol, (O, K,) such as had victims (عَتَائِر) sacrificed to it. (O.) b2: See also عَتِيرَةٌ.

عِتْرَةٌ The stem, or stock, of a tree: on the authority of Aboo-Sa'eed and IAar: (TA:) and the branches of a tree. (A, TA.) b2: [and hence,] (assumed tropical:) The people, or tribe, of a man, consisting of his nearer relations, (A'Obeyd, ISk, S, A, O, Msb, K,) both the dead and the living: (S, K:) or his relations: (Msb:) or his relations consisting of his offspring and his paternal uncle's sons: (A:) or his relations consisting of his offspring and of others: (TA:) or the more distinguished of one's relations: (IAth, TA:) or the people of a man's house, the more near and more distant: (O, TA:) and a man's offspring, or progeny; (IAar, Th, Az, S, O, Msb, K;) which is said to be the only meaning of the word known to the Arabs; (Msb;) or imagined by the vulgar to be its meaning peculiarly. (TA.) عِتْرَةُ النَّبِىِّ means [The nearer portion of the tribe of the Prophet, consisting of] the sons of 'Abd-El-Mut- talib: (Aboo-Sa'eed, O:) or 'Abd-El-Muttalib and his sons: (TA:) or the offspring of Fátimeh: (IAar, TA:) or the nearer members of the house of the Prophet, consisting of his own offspring and of 'Alee and his offspring: or the nearer and the more distant in relationship of the house of the Prophet: or, as is commonly held, the people of the house of the Prophet; who are those from whom it is forbidden to exact the poor-rate, and those to whom is assigned the fifth of the fifth mentioned in the Soorat el-Anfál [the eighth chapter of the Kur-án, verse 42]. (TA.) A2: Also n. un. of عِتْرٌ [q. v.]. (S, O.) عَتِيرَةٌ A sheep, or goat, which they used to slaughter, (S, O, Msb, K,) in [the month of] Rejeb, (S, O, Msb,) to their gods, (S, O, K,) or to their idols; (Msb;) i. q. رَجَبِيَّةٌ, (A'Obeyd, TA,) i. e. a victim which was sacrificed in Rejeb, as a propitiation, in the Time of Ignorance, (A'Obeyd, Mgh, TA,) and also by the Muslims in the beginning of El-Islám; (Mgh;) but the custom was afterwards abolished; (A'Obeyd, Mgh, O;) as also ↓ عِتْرٌ; (S, O, K;) which likewise signifies any slaughtered animal; (K;) and so does ↓ عَاتِرَةٌ; this being like رَاضِيَةٌ, in the phrase عِيشَةٌ رَاضِيَةٌ, for مَرْضِيَّةٌ; (Lth, TA;) or it may be a possessive epithet [meaning ذَاتُ عَتْرٍ]: (TA:) the pl. of عَتِيرَةٌ is عَتَائِرُ. (Msb.) عَاتِرَةٌ: see the next preceding paragraph.

عشر

1 عَشَرَ, (K,) aor. ـُ as is expressly stated by the expositors of the Fs and by others, but F, confounding two usages of the verb, says عَشِرَ, (TA,) inf. n. عَشْرٌ, (TA,) He took one from ten. (K.) b2: And عَشَرَهُمْ He took one from among them, they being ten. (Msb.) b3: And عَشَرَهُمْ, (S, K,) aor. ـُ (S, O, TA,) accord. to the K عَشِرَ, but this is at variance with other authorities, as mentioned above, (TA,) inf. n. عَشْرٌ, (K,) or عُشْرٌ, with damm, (S, O,) the former correct, but the latter is preferred by MF, who quotes it from the Expositions of the Fs, (TA,) and عُشُورٌ; (K;) and ↓ عشّرهُمْ, (O, K,) inf. n. تَعْشِيرٌ; (TA;) He took from them the عُشْر [i. e. the tenth, or, by extension of the term in the Muslim law, the half of the tenth, or the quarter of the tenth,] of their several kinds of property. (S, O, K.) And in like manner you say, (TA,) عَشَرَ المَالَ, (Msb, TA,) aor. ـُ inf. n. عَشْرٌ and عُشُورٌ; (Msb;) and ↓ عشّرهُ; (TA;) He took the عُشْر of the property. (Msb, TA.) It is said in a trad., respecting women, لَا يُعْشَرْنَ, meaning, They shall not have the tenth of the value of their ornaments taken. (TA.) b4: عَشَرَ, aor. ـِ He added one to nine. (L, K.) [In the TA and CK, this signification is connected with the first mentioned above, at the commencement of this art., by أَوْ, instead of وَ, which latter is evidently the right reading.] b5: And عَشَرَهُمْ, aor. ـِ (S, O, Msb, K,) inf. n. عَشْرٌ, (S, O, Msb,) He became the tenth of them: (S, O, Msb, K:) or he made them ten by [adding to their number] himself. (TA.) [See also 2: and see Q. Q. 1.]2 عَشَّرَ see 1, in two places. b2: عشّرهُمْ, (O, Msb, TA,) inf. n. تَعْشِيرٌ, (TA,) also signifies He made them ten, by adding one to nine. (O, Msb, TA. [See وَحَّدَهُ.]) And العَدَدَ ↓ اعشر He made the number ten. (TA.) b3: عشّر المُصْحَفَ, inf. n. تَعْشِيرٌ, He put, in the copy of the Kur-án, [the marks called] the عَوَاشِر [pl. of عَاشِرَةٌ]. (S, O, K. *) b4: اَللّٰهُمَّ عَشِّرْ خُطَاىَ O God, write down ten good deeds for every one of my steps. (Lh, TA.) b5: عشّر لِامْرَأَتِهِ, or عِنْدَهَا, He remained ten nights with his wife: and in like manner the verb is used in relation to any saying or action. (TA voce سَبَّعَ.) b6: عشّرت, (S, Msb, K, [in the CK عَشَرَت,]) inf. n. تَعْشِيرٌ; (S;) and ↓ اعشرت; (K;) She (a camel) became what is termed عُشَرَآء; (S, K;) she completed the tenth month of her pregnancy. (Msb.) b7: And عشّروا Their camels became such as are termed عِشَار [pl. of عُشَرَآءُ]. (O.) b8: See also 4. b9: عشّر القَدَحَ He broke the قدح [or drinking-bowl] into ten pieces. (O, TA.) b10: And [hence, app.,] عشّر الحُبُّ قَلْبَهُ (assumed tropical:) Love emaciated him [as though it broke his heart into ten pieces]. (TA.) b11: And عشّر, (A, K,) inf. n. تَعْشِيرٌ, (S, O, K,) He (an ass) brayed with ten uninterrupted reciprocations of the sound. (S, A, O, K. *) They assert that, when a man arrived at a country of pestilence, he put his hand behind his ear, and brayed in this manner, like an ass, and then entered it, and was secure from the pestilence: (S, * O, TA:) or he so brayed at the gate of a city where he feared pestilence, and conse-quently it did not hurt him. (A.) b12: Also He (a hyena) cried, or howled, in the same manner. (A.) And He (a raven) croaked in the same manner. (K.) 3 عاشرهُ, (K,) inf. n. مُعَاشَرَةٌ, (S, O, Msb, K,) He mixed with him; consorted with him; held social or familiar intercourse, or fellowship, with him; conversed with him; or became intimate with him; syn. خَالَطَهُ. (S, O, Msb, K.) [See also 6.]4 اعشر العَدَدَ: see 2. b2: اعشروا They became ten. (S, O.) b3: اعشرت said of a she-camel: see 2. b4: Also She (a camel) completed ten months from the time of her bringing forth. (TA.) b5: Also, or ↓ عشّرت, She brought forth her tenth offspring.

(O.) b7: And اعشر He was, or became, one whose camels came to water on the tenth day, counting the day of the next preceding water-ing as the first; expl. by the words وَرَدَتْ إِبِلُهُ عِشْرًا, (S, TA,) or العِشْرَ. (TA.) b8: And He came to be within [the period of] the [first] ten [nights] of Dhu-l-Hijjeh (فِى عَشْرِ ذِى الحِجَّةِ). (T, TA.) b9: And أَعْشَرْنَا مُنْذُ لَمْ نَلْتَقِ We have had ten nights pass over us since we met. (L, TA.) 6 تَعَاشَرُوا They mixed; consorted; or held social or familiar intercourse, or fellowship; one with another; conversed together; or became intimate, one with another; syn. تَخَالَطُوا; (S, O, Msb, K;) as also ↓ اعتشروا. (TA.) 8 إِعْتَشَرَ see what next precedes. Q. Q. 1 عَشْرَنَهُ He made it twenty: an extr. word [with respect to formation, and post-classical, like سَبْعَنَ, q. v.]. (K, TA.) [In the CK, عَشَرْتُهُ, and expl. there as signifying I made it twenty: but this is evidently a mistranscription.]

عَشْرٌ fem. of عَشَرَةٌ [q. v.].

عُشْرٌ (S, O, Msb, K) and ↓ عُشُرٌ (TA) A tenth; a tenth part; one part of ten parts; as also ↓ عَشِيرٌ and ↓ مِعْشَارٌ; (S, O, Msb, K;) which last is [of a form] not used [to denote a fractional part] except as applied to the tenth part (S, O) and [in the instance of مِرْبَاعٌ applied to] the fourth part: (O:) or, as some say, مِعْشَارٌ is the tenth of the tenth [i. e. a hundredth part]: and as some say, مِعْشَارٌ is the tenth of the ↓ عَشِير, which latter is the tenth of the عُشْر; so that, accord. to this, the معشار is one of a thousand; for it is the tenth of the tenth of the tenth: (Msb:) [in the TA, “and as some say, معشار is pl. of عشير, which latter is pl. of عُشْرٌ: ” but this is evidently a mistake:] the pl. of عُشْرٌ is أَعْشَارٌ (Msb, K) and عُشُورٌ; (K;) and that of ↓ عَشِيرٌ is أَعْشِرَآءُ: (S, O, Msb:) it is said in a trad., تِسْعَةُ أَعْشِرَآءِ الرِّزْقِ فِى التِّجَارَةِ وَجُزْءٌ مِنْهَا فِى السَّابِيَآءِ, i. e. [Nine tenths of the means of subsistence consist in merchandise, and one part of them consists in] the increase of animals. (S, A, * O. *) b2: أَخَذَ عُشْرَ أَمْوَالِهِمْ [means He took the tenth, or tithe, or by extension of the term in the Muslim law, the half of the tenth, or the quarter of the tenth, of their several kinds of property]. (S, K.) [See 1, and see عَشَّارٌ.]

A2: عُشْرٌ [as a pl. of which the sing. is not mentioned], applied to she-camels, That excern into the udder (تُنْزِلُ) a scanty دِرَّة [or quantity of milk (in the CK دَرَّة)] without its collecting [and increasing]. (O, K.) عِشْرٌ A period of eight days between [camels'] twice coming to water; for they come to water on the tenth day [counting the day of the next preceding watering as the first]; and in like manner, the term for every one of the periods between two waterings is with kesr: [see ثِلْثٌ:] (S, O:) or camels' coming to water on the tenth day [after the next preceding period of abstinence, i. e., counting the day of the next preceding watering as the first]: or on the ninth day [not counting the day of the next preceding watering; for it is evident that these two explanations are virtually one and the the same]; (K;) as in the Shems el-'Uloom, on the authority of Kh, where it is added that they keep them from the water nine nights and eight days, and then bring them to water on the ninth day, which is the tenth from [by which is meant including] the former [day of] watering: (TA:) after the عِشْر, there is no name for a period between the two waterings until the twentieth [day]; (S, O;) but you say, هِىَ تَرِدُ عِشْرًا وَغِبًّا, and عِشْرًا وَرِبْعًا, [and so on,] to the twentieth [day counting the day of the next preceding watering as the first]; (As;) and then you say, that their period between two waterings is عِشْرَانِ, (As, S, O,) i. e., eighteen days; (S, O;) and when they exceed this, they are termed جَوَازِئُ [meaning “ that satisfy themselves with green pasture so as not to need water ”]. (As, S, O.) b2: Also The eighth young one, or offspring. (A in art. ثلث.) A2: And A piece that is broken off from a cooking-pot, (K, TA,) or from a drinking-cup or bowl, (TA,) and from anything; (K, TA;) as though it were one of ten pieces; (TA;) as also ↓ عُشَارَةٌ, (K, TA,) which signifies a piece of anything: (O, TA:) pl. of the former, أَعْشَارٌ [and pl. pl. أَعَاشِيرُ]; (TA;) and of ↓ the latter, عُشَارَاتٌ. (O, TA.) b2: [Hence, app.,] بُرْمَةٌ أَعْشَارٌ A cookingpot, or one of stone, broken in pieces: thus [we find the latter word] occurring in the pl. form [and used as an epithet]. (S, O.) And قِدْرٌ أَعْشَارٌ A cooking-pot broken into ten pieces: (K:) or a large cooking-pot, of ten pieces joined together by reason of its largeness: (A:) or a cooking-pot so large that it is carried by ten men, (K,) or by ten women: (TA:) or [simply] a cooking-pot broken in pieces; not derived from anything: (TA:) pl. قُدُورٌ أَعْشَارٌ, (A,) and أَعَاشِيرُ. (A, K.) And جَفْنٌ

أَعْشَارٌ [A scabbard of a sword, or a sword-case,] broken in pieces. (O.) And قَلْبٌ أَعْشَارٌ [(assumed tropical:) A broken heart.] (S, K.) And أَعْشَارُ جَزُورٍ The portions of a slaughtered camel [for which players at the game called المَيْسِر contend, and which are ten in number; not seven, as is said in one place in the TA. In Har p. 579, اعشار in this case is said to be pl. of عُشْرٌ; but I think that we have better reason for regarding it as a pl. of عِشْرٌ]. (Az, S, O, K.) Imra-el-Keys says, وَمَا ذَرَفَتْ عَيْنَاكِ إِلَّا لِتَضْرِبِى

بِسَهْمَيْكِ فِى أَعْشَارِ قَلْبٍ مُقَتَّلِ [And thine eyes did not shed tears but that thou mightest play with thy two arrows for the portions of a heart subdued and killed by the passion of love]: he means, by the two arrows, the two called المُعَلَّى and الرَّقِيب; to the former of which are assigned seven portions, and to the latter, three; so that both together gain all the portions; for the slaughtered camel is divided into ten portions: therefore he means that she has played for his heart with her two arrows, [alluding to the glances shot from her eyes,] and gained possession of it altogether: (Az, S, * O: * [see also a verse cited voce رَقِيبٌ:]) or accord. to some, he means that his heart had been broken, and then repaired like as cooking-pots are repaired: but Az says that the former explanation, which is mentioned by Th, pleases him more. (TA.) Hence the saying, ضَرَبَ فِى أَعْشَارِهِ وَلَمْ يَرْضَ بِمِعْشَارِهِ [He played for all the portions of it, and was not content with the fifth of it]; meaning he took the whole of it. (A.) b3: And أَعْشَارٌ alone means Cooking-pots that boil the ten portions [of a جَزُور]. (Har. p. 579.) A3: أَعْشَارٌ also signifies The primary feathers of the wing of a bird; (S, O, TA;) and so ↓ عَوَاشِرُ. (TA.) عُشَرٌ Three nights of the [lunar] month, [the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth,] after the تُسَع [q. v.]. (S, O.) A2: Also [The asclepias gigantea of Linnæus; or gigantic swallow-wort;] a species of tree [or shrub] in which is a substance answering the purpose of tinder, (K,) like cotton, (TA,) than which there is nothing better wherein to strike fire, and with which cushions are stuffed, (K,) on account of its softness: (TA:) [see رَآءٌ, in art. روأ:] accord. to AHn, (TA,) a large species of tree [or shrub], of the kind called عِضَاه, having a sweet gum, (AHn, S, O, *) and milk, (O,) and broad leaves, growing up high, (AHn,) from the flowers and shoots of which, (AHn, K,) or from the joints of the branches and from the places of the flowers whereof, (O,) there comes forth a well-known kind of sugar, (AHn, O, * K,) in which is somewhat of bitterness, (O, K,) called سُكَّرُ العُشَرِ; (AHn, TA;) [or this is a kind of red sugar, which falls like dew upon this tree; (Golius, from Ibn-Maaroof and the Mj;)] it produces also bladders, resembling the شَقَاشِق [or faucial bags] of camels, in which they bray, [blowing them out from their months, with a gurgling sound,] (AHn, TA,) [and] like the bladder of the smaller قَتَاد [q. v.]; (S, O;) and it has a blossom like that of the دِفْلَى, tinged, [but with what hue is not said,] and shining, and beautiful in appearance, as well as a fruit: (AHn, TA:) n. un. with ة: and pl. [of this latter] عُشَرٌ [or rather this is a coll. gen. n.] and عُشَرَاتٌ. (S, O.) [See also سَلَعٌ.]

عُشُرٌ: see عُشْرٌ.

عِشْرَةٌ Social, or familar, intercourse; fellowship; i. q. مُخَالَطَةٌ; (O, * K;) or a subst. from the latter word. (S, Msb.) Sometimes it governs as a verb, [like the inf. n.,] accord. to some grammarians, as in the following ex.: بِعِشْرَتِكَ الكِرَامَ تُعَدُّ مِنْهُمْ [By thine associating with the generous thou will be reckoned as one of them]. (I'Ak p. 211.) عَشَرَةٌ [Ten;] the first of the عُقُود; (A, K;) with ة, (Msb,) and with fet-h to the ش, (TA,) for the masc.; (Msb, TA;) and عَشْرٌ, without ة, (Msb, TA,) and with one fet-hah, (TA,) for the fem. (Msb, TA.) You say, عَشَرَةُ رِجَالٍ [Ten men]: and عَشْرُ نِسْوَةٍ [ten women]. (S, O, Msb, TA.) [In De Sacy's Arabic Grammar, for the former is inadvertently put عَشْرَةٌ; and for the latter, عَشَرٌ; and in Freytag's lexicon we find عَشَرٌ instead of عَشْرٌ.] عَشَرَاتٌ [is the pl. of عَشَرَةٌ: and also] signifies Decimal numbers. (M in art. ست.) The vulgar make عَشْرٌ masc., as meaning a number of days, saying العَشْرُ الأَوَّلُ, and العَشْرُ الأَخِيرُ; but this is wrong [unless thereby they mean to speak of nights with their days, as will be shown by what follows]: the month consists of three عَشَرَات; namely, العَشْرُ الأُوَلُ [The first ten nights. with their days], pl. of أُولَى; and العَشْرُ الوُسَطُ [The middle ten nights, with their days], pl. of وُسْطَى; and العَشْرُ الأَخَرُ [The last, lit. the other, ten nights, with their days], pl. of أُخْرَى; or العَشْرُ الأَوَاخِرُ [The last ten nights, with their days], pl. of آخرَةٌ. (Msb.) [العَشْرُ الأَوَاخِرُ is also especially applied to The last ten nights of Ramadán, with their days: and عَشْرُ ذِى الحِجَّةِ to The first ten nights of Dhu-l-Hijjeh, with their days: and العَشْرُ, alone, to The first ten nights of El-Moharram, with their days.] The Arabs also said, سِرْنَا عَشْرًا, meaning We journeyed ten nights, with their days; making the fem. [لَيَالٍ] to predominate over the masc. [أَيَّام]; as is the case in the Kur ii. 234. (Msb.) And أَيَّامُ العَشْرِ is used for أَيَّامُ اللَّيَالِى العَشْرِ [The days of the ten nights]. (Mgh.) [See some other observations applying to the syntax of عَشَرَةٌ and عَشْرٌ, voce خَمْسَةٌ. and respecting a peculiar pronunciation of the people of El-Hijáz, and a case in which عَشَرَة is imperfectly decl., see ثَلَاثَةٌ.] b2: [عَشْرٌ is also applied to A portion, or paragraph, of the Kur-án properly consisting of ten verses; but it is often applied to somewhat more, or less, than what is considered by some, or by all, as ten verses, either because there is much disagreement as to the divisions of the verses or for the sake of beginning and ending with a break in the tenour of the text: (see عَاشِرَةٌ:) pl. أَعْشَارٌ. These divisions have no mark to distinguish them in some MSS.: in others, each is marked by a round ornament at the end; or by the word عشر, or the letter ع, over, or over against, the commencement.] b3: When you have passed the number ten, you make the masc. fem., and the fem. masc. [to nineteen inclusively]: in the masc., you reject the ة in عَشَرَة; and from thirteen to nineteen [inclusively], you add ة to the former of the two nouns; and [in every case] you pronounce the ش with fet-h; and you make the two nouns one noun, [and, as such,] indecl., with fet-h for the termination: (TA:) you say, أَحَدَ عَشَرَ [Eleven], (S, O, Msb,) [and اِثْنَا عَشَرَ Twelve,] and ثَلَاثَةَ عَشَرَ [Thirteen], and so on; (Msb, TA;) with fet-h to the ش; and in one dial. with sukoon [أَحَدَ عَشْرَ, &c.]; (Msb;) or the former only: (S, O:) and, as ISk says, some of the Arabs make the ع quiescent, [as many do in the present day,] saying أَحَدَ عْشَرَ, and so on to تِسْعَةَ عْشَرَ [inclusively] except in the instance of اِثْنَا عَشَرَ and اِثْنَىْ عَشَرَ, because of the quiescence of the ا and ى; and Akh says that they make the ع quiescent because the noun is long and its vowels are many: (S, O) in the fem., you add ة to the latter of the two nouns, and reject the ة in the former of them, and make the ش in عشرة quiescent: you say إِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ (TA,) [and اِثْنَتَا عَشْرَةَ,] and so on to تِسْعَ عَشْرَةَ [inclusively]: and if you choose, you say إِحْدَى عَشِرَةَ, [&c.,] with kesr to the ش: the former is of the dial. of the people of El-Hijáz, [and is the more common,] and the latter is of the dial. of the people of Nejd: (S, O, TA:) but fet-h to the ش in this case is unknown to the grammarians and lexicologists, as Az says, though an instance has been adduced in an unusual reading of the Kur ii. 57, and another in vii. 160. (TA.) Every noun of number, from eleven to nineteen [inclusively], is mansoob, [or more properly speaking, each of the two nouns of which it is composed is indecl., with fet-h,] in the cases of refa and nasb and khafd, except that of twelve; for اِثْنَا and اِثْنَتَا are decl. [i. e. you say, in a case of nasb or khafd, اِثْنَىْ عَشَرَ and اِثْنَتَىْ عَشْرَةَ]. (TA.) b4: [In the same manner also عَشَرَ and عَشْرَةَ are used in the ordinal compounds,] عُشَرَآءُ A she-camel that has been ten months pregnant, (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K,) from the day of her having been covered by the stallion: she then ceases to be [of those] called مَخَاضً, and she is called عشرا until she brings forth, and also after she has brought forth, (S, O,) or when she has brought forth, at the completion of a year: or when she has brought forth she is termed عَاتِذٌ: (TA:) or that has been eight months pregnant: or, applied to a she-camel, i. q. نُفَسَآءُ applied to a woman: (K:) it is applied also to any female that is pregnant, but mostly to the female of the horse and camel: (IAth:) it is the only sing. word of this measure, which is a pl. measure, except نُفَسَآءُ: (MF:) the dual is عُشَرَاوَانِ: (S, O, TA; in one copy of the S عُشْرَاوَانِ:) and pl. عُشَرَاوَاتٌ; (S, O, K, TA; in one copy of the S, and in the CK عُشْراوات;) but some disallow this; (MF;) and عِشَارٌ; (S, O, Msb, K;) like as نِفَاسٌ is pl. of نُفَسَآءُ; (Msb;) and عُشَارٌ: (K in art. نفس:) or عِشَارٌ is applied to she-camels until some of them have brought forth and others are expected to bring forth. (K.) Some say that عِشَار have no milk; though El-Farezdak applies this term to camels that are milked, because of their having recently brought forth; and it is said that camels are most precious to their owners when they are عشار. (TA.) عَشَائِرُ, as pl. of عِشَارٌ, which is pl. of عُشَرَآءُ, signifies Gazelles that have recently brought forth. (O.) لَبَنٌ عُشَرِىٌّ Milk of camels that feed upon the عُشَر, q. v. (TA.) عِشْرُونَ Twenty; twice ten: (K:) applied alike to a masc. and a fem.: (Msb:) you say عِشْرُونَ رَجُلًا [Twenty men], and عِشْرُونَ امْرَأَةً [Twenty women: the noun following it being in the accus. case as a specificative]: (TA:) it is decl. with و and ى [like a pl. formed by the addition of و and ن]; (Msb;) and when you prefix it to another noun, making it to govern the latter in the gen. case, you drop the ن, (S, Msb,) and say, عِشْرُو زَيْدٍ [The twenty of Zeyd], (Msb,) and عِشْرُوكَ [Thy twenty], (S, O, Msb,) and عِشُرِىّ [My twenty], changing the و into ى [in this last case], because of the letter following it, and these incorporating: (S, O:) so says Ks; but most disallow this mode of prefixing in the case of a decimal number [of this kind], (Msb.) [It signifies also Twentieth.] It is not a pl. of عَشَرَةٌ, (so in a copy of the S and in the O and in the TA.) or عَشْرٌ, (so in another copy of the S,) [or perhaps the right reading is عِشْرٌ, as may be inferred from what will be presently added: but first it should be observed that if it were pl. of عَشَرَةٌ, or of عَشْرٌ, it would signify at least three times ten: some hold it to be a pl. of عِشْرٌ, saying, (TA.) as عِشْرٌ signifies camels' coming to water on the ninth day, they do not say عِشْرَانِ [for twenty], but they say عِشْرُونَ, (in the K, لَمْ يُقَلْ عِشْرَيْنِ وَقَالُوا عِشْرِينَ: but the correct reading seems to be لَمْ يَقُولُوا: TA: [in the CK it is more incorrect, لم يقل عِشْرِينَ وقالوا عِشْرَيْنِ:]) making eighteen days to be عِشْرَانِ, and the nineteenth and twentieth a portion of the third عِشْر; and so, [regarding the portion as a whole,] forming the pl. عِشْرُونَ; (K, * TA;) agreeably with a well-known license, which allows the calling two and a part of the third a pl: (TA:) this is the opinion of Kh and IDrd and some others: but J and most of the lexicologists hold that عِشْرُونَ is not a pl. of عَشَرَةٌ nor of عِشْرٌ nor of any other word, and their opinion I hold to be correct, applying as it does to the other similar nouns of number. (MF.) عُشَارَ Ten and ten; [or ten and ten together; or ten at a time and ten at a time;] (MF;) changed from عَشَرَة, (S,) or rather عَشَرَةً عَشَرَةً; as also ↓ مَعْشَرَ; (MF;) [for which reason, and its having the quality of an epithet, each is imperfectly decl.] You say, جَاؤُوا عُشَارَ عُشَارَ, (S, M, O, L, K,) and ↓ مَعْشَرَ مَعْشَرَ, (M, O, L, K,) and عُشَارَ once, and ↓ مَعْشَرَ once, (M, L, TA,) They came ten [and] ten. (S, M, O, L, K.) MF says that the repetition is manifestly wrong; but it is allowed by the M and L, as well as the K; [and is for the purpose of corroboration;] and مَعْشَرَ

↓ مَعْشَرَ is also authorized by the TS. (TA.) A'Obeyd says that more than أُحَادَ and ثُنَآءَ and ثُلَاثَ and رُبَاعَ has not been heard, except عُشَارَ occurring in a verse of El-Kumeyt. (O, TA.) [But خُمَاسَ is mentioned in the K.]

عَشِيرٌ: see عُشْرٌ, in three places. b2: Also A certain measure of land, a tenth of the قَفِيز, (O, Msb, K,) which is the tenth of the جَرِيب [q. v.]: (O, TA:) pl. أَعْشِرَآءُ. (TA in art. جرب.) A2: and An associate; i. q. مُعَاشِرٌ. (S, O, Msb, K.) b2: And A husband; (S, O, Msb, K;) because he and his wife are associates, each of the other. (S, O.) يَكْفُرْنَ العَشِيرَ means They are ungrateful to the husband. (Msb.) b3: And A wife. (Msb.) b4: And A relation. (K.) b5: And A friend. (K.) Pl. عُشَرَآءُ. (K.) b6: See also عَشِيرَةٌ.

A3: Also The cry of the ضَبُع [or hyena, or female hyena]: (K:) in this sense, a word not derived. (TA.) عُشَارَةٌ; and its pl.: see عِشْرٌ.

عُشَارِىٌّ A garment, or piece of cloth, (A, K,) ten cubits long. (S, A, Mgh, O, K.) b2: And A boy ten years old: fem. with ة. (TA.) عَشُورَى and عَشُورَآءُ: see عَاشُورَآءُ.

عَشِيرَةٌ A man's kinsfolk: (Bd and Jel in ix. 24:) or his nearer or nearest relations, or next of kin, by descent from the same father or ancestor: (K:) or a small sub-tribe; a small portion, or the smallest subdivision, of a tribe, less than a فَصِيلَة: (TA voce شَعْبٌ, q. v.:) or a tribe; syn قَبِيلَةٌ; (S, O, Msb;) a man's قَبِيلَة; (K;) as also ↓ عَشِيرٌ, without ة: (TA:) or a community, such as the Benoo-Temeem, and the Benoo-'Amr-Ibn-Temeem: (ISh:) a word having no proper sing.: (Msb:) accord. to some, from عِشْرَةٌ: accord. to others, from عَشَرَةٌ, the number so called: (Bd ubi suprà, and MF:) pl. عَشَائِرُ (Msb, K) and عَشِيرَاتُ. (Msb.) [See also مَعْشَرٌ.]

A2: عَشَائِرُ is also a pl. pl. of عُشَرَآءُ [q. v., last sentence]. (O.) عَشَّارٌ (S, O, Msb, K) and ↓ عَاشِرٌ (O, Msb, K) and ↓ مُعَشِّرٌ (TA) One who takes, or receives, the عُشْر [q. v.] of property. (S, Msb, K.) Where the punishment of the عَشَّار, or عَاشِر, is mentioned in traditions, as where it is said that the عَاشِر is to be put to death, the meaning is, he who takes the tenth as the people in the Time of Ignorance used to do: such is to be put to death because of his unbelief; or because, being a Muslim, he holds this practice to be lawful: but such as performed the like office for the Prophet and for the Khaleefehs after him may be thus called because of the relation of what he takes to the tenth, as the quarter of the tenth, and the half of the tenth, and as he takes the tenth wholly of the produce that is watered [only] by the rain, and the tenth of the property in merchandise [of foreigners, and half the tenth of that] of non-Muslim subjects. (TA.) [There is either a mistake or an omission in the last part of the statement above, in the TA, which I have rectified by inserting “ of foreigners ” &c.]

عَاشِرٌ: see عَشَّارٌ. b2: One says also, صَارَ عَاشِرَهُمْ [meaning he became the tenth of them]. (S, Msb, K.) عَاشِرَةٌ The circular sign which marks a division of an 'ashr (عَشْر) in a copy of the Kur-án: (O, L, K:) a post-classical term: (O, L:) pl. عَوَاشِرُ. (S, K.) b2: And عَوَاشِرُ القُرْآنِ means The verses that complete an عَشْر of the Kur-án. (K.) b3: and إِبِلٌ عَوَاشِرُ Camels coming to water after an interval of eight days; (S, O;) on the tenth day [counting the day of the next preceding watering as the first]: or on the ninth day [not counting the day of the next preceding watering: see عِشْرٌ]. (K.) A2: For another signification of the pl., عَوَاشِرُ, see عِشْرُ, last sentence.

A3: عَاشِرَةُ is a proper name of The ضَبُع [i. e. hyena, or female hyena]; a determinate noun: [but it has for] pl. عَاشِرَاتٌ. (O.) عَاشُورٌ: see what next follows.

عَاشُورَآءُ and ↓ عَشُورَآءُ (Msb, K) and عَاشُورَى (Msb, K) and ↓ عَشُورَى (K) and ↓ عَاشُورٌ, (Msb, K,) or يَوْمُ عَاشُورَآءَ (S, O, and K in art. تسع, &c.) or يَوْمُ العَاشُورَآءِ (S in that art., &c.) and يَوْمُ عَشُورَآءَ, (S, O,) The tenth day of the month El-Moharram: (S, Msb, K:) or the ninth thereof, (K,) accord. to some; but most of the learned, of old and late times, agree that it is the former; (Msb in art. تسع;) and Az says that by the ninth may be meant the tenth; after the same manner as the term عِشْرٌ, relating to camels' coming to water, is [said to be] applied to a period of nine days, [but means the coming to water on the tenth day, counting the day of the next preceding watering as the first,] as Lth says, on the authority of Kh. (TA.) Few nouns of the measure فَاعُولَآءُ have been heard. (Az, TA.) مَعْشَرٌ A company, or collective body, (Az, S, O, Msb, K,) of people, (S,) consisting of men, exclusive of women; like نَفَرٌ and قَوْمٌ and رَهْطٌ; (Az, Msb;) having no proper sing.: (Az:) or any company, or collective body, whose state of circumstances is one; a community; as the معشر of the Muslims and that of the Polytheists: (Lth:) or a great company, or collective body; so called [from عَشَرَةٌ,] because they are many; for عشرة is that large and perfect number after which there is no number but what is composed of the units comprised in it: (MF:) or the family of a man: or jinn (i. e. genii) and mankind: (K: [or the author of the K may mean, or jinn: and also mankind:]) in the Kur [vi. 130, and lv. 33], we find the expression يَا مَعْشَرَ الْجِنِّ وَالْإِنْسِ; but this means O معشر consisting of the jinn and of mankind: and [vi. 128], يَا مَعْشَرَ الجِنِّ, without the mention of الانس: (MF:) pl. مَعَاشِرُ. (S, Msb.) [See also عَشِيرَةٌ.]

A2: مَعْشَرَ: see عُشَارَ, in four places.

مُعْشِرٌ (tropical:) A woman who has completed her full time of pregnancy. (TA.) مُعَشَّرٌ pass. part. n. of 2, q. v. See also مُثَلَّثٌ.]

مُعَشِّرٌ: see عَشَّارٌ.

A2: Also One whose camels have brought forth: and one whose camels have become عِشَار [pl. of عُشَرَآء]. (O, K.) مِعْشَارٌ: see عُشْرٌ.

(S.) b3: and عَارَ, (S, O, &c.,) aor. as above, (Msb, K,) inf. n. عِيَارٌ, (Msb, TA,) or this is a simple subst., (K,) He (a horse, S, Mgh, O, Msb, K, and a dog, K) went away (O, K, TA) hither and thither, (O, TA,) which action is also termed مُعَايَرَةٌ [inf. n. of ↓ عَايَرَ], (O,) as though he had made his escape (K, TA) from his master, going to and fro: (TA:) and the same is said of news: (IKtt, TA:) or escaped, or got loose, and went away hither and thither, by reason of his exceeding sprightliness: (S:) or escaped, or got loose, and went away at random: (Msb:) or went away hither and thither, by reason of his sprightliness: or strayed at random, nothing turning him: (Mgh:) or went away at random, far from his master. (TA.) b4: And عَارَ, (aor. as above, TA,) He (a man) came and went, (K,) moving to and fro. (TA.) b5: عَارَ فِى القَوْمِ يَضْرِبُهُمْ بِالسَّيْفِ, (S, * TA,) inf. n. عَيَرَانٌ, (TA,) He (a man) went and came among the people, (TA,) or did mischief among them, (S,) smiting them with the sword. (S, * TA.) b6: عَارَتِ القَصِيدَةُ (assumed tropical:) The ode became current. (K.) b7: عَارَ, (K,) aor. as above, inf. n. عِيَارٌ and عَيَرَانٌ, (TA,) He (a camel) left his females that were seven months gone with young, and went away to others, (IKtt, L, K,) to cover them. (IKtt, L.) In [some of] the copies of the K, شَوْلَهَا is put in the place of شَوْلَهُ, which latter is the reading in the Tahdheeb of IKtt [and in the CK]. (TA.) A2: عَارَهُ, aor. ـِ and يَعُورُهُ, (S and K in art. عور,) or the aor. is not used, or it is scarcely ever used, (TA in the same art.,) He, or it, took, and went away with, him, or it: (S and K in the same art.:) or destroyed him, or it. (K and TA in the same art.) See art. عور. You say عِرْتُ ثَوْبَهُ, I took, or went away with, his garment. (TA.) And it is said in a prov., عَيْرٌ عَارَهُ وَتِدُهُ An ass which his peg [to which he was tethered] destroyed [by preventing his escape from wild beasts that attacked him]. (Meyd, TA. [See Freytag's Arab. Prov., ii. 87.]) A3: عَارَهُ, [aor. as above,] also signifies He blamed, or reproached, him; found fault with him; attributed or imputed to him, or charged him with, or accused him of, a vice, or fault, or the like. (S, O, TA.) [See also what next follows.]2 عيّرهُ كَذَا, (S, O, Msb, K,) and عيّره بِهِ, though the former is the more approved, (ElMarzookee, in his Expos. of the Hamáseh, and Msb, and MF,) or the latter is peculiar to the vulgar, (S, and El-Hareeree in the Durrat el-Ghowwás.) and should not be used, (O, K,) inf. n. تَعْيِيرٌ, (S, O,) He upbraided him with such a thing; reproached him for it; declared it to be bad, evil, abominable, or foal, and charged him with it. (Msb.) [You also say عيّرهُ عَلَي فِعْلِهِ He upbraided him, or reproached him, for his deed.] And عيّر عَلَيْهِ [is an elliptical phrase, signifying the same; فِعْلَهُ or the like being understood: or He upbraided him; charged him with acting disgracefully]. (TA, voce تعريب.) [See also 1, last signification.]

A2: عيّر الدَّنَانِيرَ, (K,) inf. n. as above, (TA,) He weighed the pieces of gold one after another: (K:) and he put, or threw down, the pieces of gold, one by one, and compared them, one by one. (TA.) The verb is [said to be] used in relation to measuring and weighing; but, says Az, Lth makes a distinction between عَايَرْتُ and عَيَّرْتُ, making the former to relate to a measure of capacity, and the latter to an instrument for weighing: and [SM adds,] F mentions the former in art. عور, and the latter in the present art. (TA.) See also 3, in five places.

A3: And عيّر المَآءُ The water became overspread with [the green substance termed] طُحْلُب: (O, K:) but [SM adds,] it is more probably أَغْثَرَ, with ا and غ and ث. (TA.) 3 عاير المَكَايِيلَ, (S, Mgh, and K in art. عور,) and المَوَازِينَ, (S, Mgh,) inf. n. عِيَارٌ; (S;) and عاورها, (S, K,) and عوّرها; (K;) signify the same, (S, K,) He measured, or compared, the measures of capacity, (Mgh, K,) and the instruments for weighing, one by, or with, another. (Mgh.) One should not say ↓ عيّر. (S.) The saying اِسْتَعَارَ

?? ↓ دَرَاهِمَ لِيُعَيِّرَ, meaning, [He borrowed pieces of money] that he might equalize [with them the weights of his balance], should be, correctly, لِيُعَايِرَ. (Mgh.) You say عَايَرْتُ المِكْيَالَ, and المِيزَانَ, inf. n. مُعَايَرَةٌ and عِيَارٌ, meaning I tried, or proved, the measure of capacity, and the instrument for weighing, [or gauged the former,] that I might know its correctness [or incorrectness]: this, says Az, is the correct form: one should not say ↓ عَيَّرْتُ, except from العَارُ, accord. to the leading lexicologists and ISk says, عَايَرْتُ بَيْنَ المِكْيَالَيْنِ signifies I tried, or proved, the two measure of capacity, that I might know their equality [or inequality]: you should not say المِيزَانَيْنِ ↓ عَيَّرْتُ, (Msb.) [But in the TA, الميزان ↓ عيّر and المكيال is mentioned without any remark of disapproval, with عاورهما and عايرهما.] You also say عاير بَيْنَهُمَا, inf. n. مُعَايَرَةٌ and عِيَارٌ, He measured, or compared, them two. each by, or with, the other, and examined what [difference] was between them. (K in art. عور.) b2: [Hence, عاير app. signifies also He assayed gold &c.]

A2: See also 1, third sentence.4 اعار الفَرَسَ, (S, K,) and الكَلْبَ, (K,) He (his master) made the horse, and the dog, to go away as though he had escaped, or got loose: (K:) or made him to escape; (TA:) or made him to escape, or get loose, and go away hither and thither, by reason of his exceeding sprightliness. (S.) A2: أَعْيَرَ النَّصْلَ He made to the iron head or blade of an arrow, or of a spear, or of a sword, or of a knife, or the like, what is called عَيْرٌ. (AA, K.) A3: أَعَارَتْ حَافِرًا means She (a mare) raised and shifted a hoof; b2: and hence, accord. to Az, إِعَارَةُ الثِّيَابِ [The lending of garments] &c. (L, TA. [See 4 in art. عور.]) A4: And اعارهُ is also said to signify He fattened him; namely, a horse: b2: and He plucked out the hair of his tail; like

أَعْرَاهُ: both of which meanings are mentioned by IKtt and others: b3: and i. q. ضَمَّرَهُ [He made him lean, or light of flesh, &c.]; from عَارَ “ he went and came. ” (TA.) 5 هُمْ يَتَعَيَّرُونَ مِنْ جِيرَانِهِمُ الأَمْتِعَةَ is said to mean يَسْتَعِيرُونَ [i. e. They ask of their neighbours the loan of the household-goods, &c.]: but Az says that the word used by the Arabs is يَتَعَيَّرُونَ. (TA. [See 10 in art. عور.]) 6 تعايروا They blamed, upbraided, or reproached, one another; found fault, one with another; i. q. تَعَايَبُوا, (S, O, Msb,) or عَيَّرَ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا: (K:) or they reviled, or vilified, one another; syn. تَسَابُّوا. (Az.) 10 استعار سَهْمًا مِنْ كِنَانَتِهِ: see art. عور.

عَارٌ A disgrace; a shame; a thing that occasions one's being reviled; a vice, or fault, or the like; (S, O;) a thing for which one is, or is to be, blamed, or dispraised; (B, in TA, art. عور;) anything that necessarily occasions blame or reproach, (Msb, K,) or disgrace: (Msb:) pl. أَعْيَارٌ: (TA:) and ↓ مَعَايِرُ, (S, O, K,) of which the sing. is app. ↓ مَعْيَرَةٌ, (O,) [is syn. with أَعْيَارٌ, for it] signifies things for which one is, or is to be, blamed, upbraided, reproached, or found fault with; syn. مَعَايِبُ. (S, O, K.) عَيْرٌ The ass; (S, O, Msb, K;) both the wild and the domestic; (S, O, Msb;) its predominant application is to the former: (K:) so called because he goes away hither and thither (يَعِيرُ فَيَتَرَدَّدُ) in the desert: (TA:) fem. with ة: (S, Msb:) pl. [of pauc.] أَعْيَارٌ, (S, O, Msb, K.) and [of mult.] عِيَارٌ and عُيُورٌ (K) and عُيُورَةٌ (S, O, Msb, K) and عِيَرَةٌ (O) and ↓ مَعْيُورَآءُ, (S, O, K,) like مَشْيُوخَآءُ &c., or this is [properly speaking] a quasi-pl. n., (TA,) and ↓ مَعْيُورَى, [also a quasipl. n.,] (Az, TA,) and pl. pl. عِيَرَاتٌ (O) and عِيَارَاتٌ. (K.) [Dim. عُيَيْرٌ, q. v. intra.] b2: It is said in a prov., relating to contentment with that which is present and forgetting what is absent, إِنْ ذَهَبَ العَيْرُ فَعَيْرٌ فِى الرِّبَاطِ [If the ass has gone away, there is an ass in the tether]. (A 'Obeyd.) b3: You say also, of a place in which is no good, هُوَ كَجَوْفِ عَيْرٍ [It is like the belly of an ass], (S, TA,) or كجوف العَيْرِ [like the belly of the ass]; (TA;) because there is nothing in his belly of which any use is made: (S, TA:) or this originated from the saying هُوَ أَخْلَى مِنْ جَوْفِ حِمَارٍ [It is more empty than the valley of Himar]; (S, O, * TA;) for حمار was the name of a certain unbeliever, who possessed a valley, which for his infidelity, God rendered waste and unproductive; (O, * TA;) and Imra-el-Keys, (O, TA,) as some say, but correctly Taäbbata-sharrà, (O,) quoting the above-mentioned saying, has substituted العير for حمار, for the sake of the metre. (O, TA.) b4: One says also أَذَلُّ مِنَ العَيْرِ More vile than the ass. (TA.) [But this is doubtful: see the same phrase expl. differently later in this paragraph. The wild ass is superior to every other kind of animal that is an object of the chase: (see فَرَأٌ:) and hence, app., the signification here next following.] b5: عَيْرٌ also signifies A lord, or chief, (S, O, K,) of a people: (S, O:) a king: (K:) pl. أَعْيَارٌ. (O.) b6: The saying (S, K) of the people of Syria, used by them proverbially, (TA,) عَيْرٌ بِعَيْرٍ وَزِيَادَةُ عَشَرَةٍ [A lord for a lord, or a lord is succeeded by a lord, and an increase of ten] is expl. by the fact that, when the Khaleefeh of the sons of Umeiyeh died, and another arose, he increased their stipends by ten dirhems: (S, O, K:) so they said thus on that occasion. (O, TA.) b7: عَيْرُ السَّرَاةِ is an appellation of A certain bird, (S, O, K, TA,) resembling the pigeon, (S, O, TA,) short in the legs, which are coved with feathers, yellow in the legs and bill, having the eye bordered with black, of a clear colour inclining to greenness, or dark dust-colour, (خُضْرَة,) yellow in the belly and the part beneath its wings and the inner part of its tail; as though it were a variegated بُرْد: pl. عُيُورُ السَّرَاةِ: السَّرَاةُ being a place in the district of Et-Táïf: they assert that this bird eats three hundred figs, from the time of their coming forth from among the leaves, small; and in like manner, grapes. (TA.) A2: Also The prominence, or ridge, in the middle of the iron head or blade of an arrow or of a spear or of a sword or of a knife or the like. (S, O.) [See ذُبَابٌ.]

b2: The prominent line, (S, O, TA,) like a little wall, (TA,) in the middle of a leaf; its middle rib. (S, O, TA.) b3: The spine, i. e. the prominent part, in the middle of the scapula, or shoulderblade. (S, O.) b4: The prominent, or projecting, bone in the middle of the hand: pl. أَعْيَارٌ. (TA.) [In the K, it is expl. simply by العَظْمُ النَّاتِئُ وَسَطَهَا: but this is a wrong reading, app. occasioned by an omission, which is supplied in the TA, though somewhat awkwardly: it seems that we should read وَمِنَ الكَفِّ العَظْمُ النَّتِئُ وَسَطَهَا; or, more probably, ومن الكَتِفِ الخ; for I incline to think that الكفّ in the TA is a mistake for الكتف, and that the last signification of عير, given here, is doubtful.] b5: The prominence, or protuberance, in the upper, or convex, part, or back, of the foot. (S, O, TA.) b6: Any prominent, or protuberant, bone in the body. (TA.) b7: An edge, or a ridge, of a rock, naturally prominent. (TA.) b8: Anything prominent, or protuberant, in an even thing, (K,) or in the middle of an even thing [or surface]. (TA.) b9: Each of the two portions of flesh and sinew next the back bone, one on either side thereof: both together are called عَيْرَانِ. (K, * TA.) [So called because it forms a kind of ridge.] b10: The prominent, or protuberant, part at the pupil (بُؤْبُؤ) of the eye: (AA, TA:) or the lid of the eye: (S, O, K:) or the inner angle [ for مَأٰقِى, in the CK, I read مَأْقَى, as in other copies of the K,] of the eye: (Th, K:) or the image that is seen in the black of the eye when a thing faces it; (Aboo-Tálib, L, K; *) also called لُعْبَةٌ: (Aboo-Tálib, L:) or the eye-ball: (TA:) or a looking from the outer angle (لَحْظ [or perhaps this signifies here the outer angle itself]) of the eye. (K.) Hence the saying, (S, O,) فَعَلْتُ ذَاكَ قَبْلَ عَيْرٍ وَمَا جَرَى I did that before a look from the outer angle of the eye: (S, O, K: *) or before he winked [or could wink]; عير meaning the “ image that is seen in the black of the eye; ” and ما جرى, “what moved,” i. e., “the eye itself: ” (Aboo-Tálib:) or before I looked [or could look] at thee; not used with a negative: (Th:) nor do you say أَفْعَلُ ذاك [instead of فعلت ذاك in this phrase]: (A O, S:) or عير here signifies the wild ass. (Lh.) You say also أَتَيْتُكَ قَبْلَ عَيْرٍ وَمَا جَرَى, meaning I came to thee before a sleeper awoke [or could awake]. (AA, TA.) b11: The وَتِد [or tragus] which is in the inner part of the ear: (S:) [see وَتِدٌ:] or the part of the interior of the ear which is below the فَرْع [or upper portion thereof], (K,) in a man and in a horse, like the عَيْر [of the head] of an arrow: (TA:) or the عَيْرَانِ are the مَتْنَانِ [app. meaning the two backs, though the word may have some other application in this case,] of the two ears of a horse: pl. عِيَارٌ. (TA.) A3: A wooden pin, peg, or stake, which is fixed in the ground or in a wall. (S, O, K.) Hence, as some say, the prov. فُلَانٌ أَذَلُّ مِنَ العَيْرِ [Such a one is more vile than the wooden pin, or peg, of a tent &c.]. (TA.) [See another explanation above: and see also مَذَلَّةٌ.] Hence also, accord. to some, (TA,) one says, مَا أَدْرِى أَىُّ مَنْ ضَرَبَ العَيْرَ هُوَ, meaning I known not what one of mankind is he. (Yaakoob, S, O, K, TA.) and hence too, as some say, the saying of El-Hárith Ibn-Hillizeh, (O, TA,) زَعَمُوا أَنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ ضَرَبَ العَيْ رَ مَوَالٍ لَنَا وَأَنَّا الوَلَآءُ of which Aboo-'Amr Ibn-El-'Alà said that he had passed away, or died, who knew the meaning of this verse, (S, O, TA,) and which is differently related, some saying مَوَالٍ لَهَا, and some saying الوِلَآءُ: (TA:) but various meanings are assigned to العير in this instance; and some expl. it as a proper name: (O, TA:) and some, relating this verse, say العِيرَ [q. v.]: (TA:) [the following explanation of the verse has been given as preferable to others:] They (the Arákim, mentioned two verses before,) have asserted that all who have hunted the wild ass are the sons of our paternal uncles, and that we are the relations of them; الولآء being for أَصْحَابُ وَلَائِهِمْ: meaning that we are responsible for their crimes, or offences, as though we were their heirs. (EM p. 261.) A4: Also A certain piece of wood which is in the fore part of the [vehicle called] هَوْدَج. (O, K.) A5: And A drum. (O, K.) And so, as some say, in the verse cited above. (O, TA.) A6: And A mountain. (K.) And also the name of A mountain of El-Medeeneh: (K, TA:) and, as some say, of a mountain of Mekkeh. (TA.) A7: And الأَعْيَارُ (of which the sing. is العَيْرُ, TA) is a name of Certain bright stars in the track of the feet of سُهَيْل [or Canopus]. (O, K.) عِيرٌ A caravan; syn. قَافِلَةٌ; of the fem. gen.: (K:) from عَارَ “ he journeyed: ” (TA:) or camels that carry provision of corn: (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K:) then generally applied to any caravan: (Mgh, Msb:) or a caravan of asses; and then extended to any caravan; as though pl. of عَيْرٌ, being originally and regularly of the measure فُعُلٌ, [i. e.

عُيُرٌ,] like سُقُفٌ as pl. of سَقْفٌ; (TA;) but it has no proper sing.: (K:) or any beasts upon which provision of corn is brought, whether camels or asses or mules: (K:) the عير mentioned in the Kur xii. 94 consisted of asses; and the assertion of him who says that عير is applied specially to camels is false: (AHeyth, O, TA:) Nuseyr cites the poet Aboo-'Amr El-Asadee as applying this appellation to asses; and says that camels are not so called unless employed for bringing provision of corn: (AHeyth, TA:) IAar says that it is applied to camels bearing burdens, and not bearing burdens: (Az:) but camels are not thus called that bring corn for their owners: (TA, voce رِكَاب:) pl. عِيَرَاتٌ, (O, K,) with ا and ت because it is of the fem. gender, and, being a subst., with the ى movent, accord. to the dial. of Hudheyl, for they say جَوْزَاتٌ and بَيْضَاتٌ; (Sb;) and عِيْرَاتٌ (S, K) is allowable, (S,) and is the regular form, and occurs in a trad., meaning horses or the like, and camels carrying merchandise. (TA.) عَيْرَانٌ applied to a he-camel, (O,) and عَيْرَانَةٌ applied to a she-camel, (S, O, K,) Resembling the [wild] ass (العَيْر) in quickness and briskness: (S, O:) or the latter, swift, with briskness; (K, TA;) so termed because of her frequent going round about [or to and fro], rather than as being likened to the [wild] ass: and also hard, or hardy. (TA.) عِيرَانٌ: see عَائِرٌ in art. عور.

عِيَارٌ and ↓ مِعْيَارٌ are syn.; (S;) both signify [A standard of measure or weight;] a thing with which another thing is measured, or compared, and equalized; (Mgh;) [and with which it is assayed:] or a thing with which measures of capacity are measured, compared, or equalized: (Lth:) the عِيَار of a thing is that which is made, or appointed, a standard thereof, by which to regulate or adjust it; expl. by مَا جُعِلَ نِظَامًا لَهُ. (Msb.) b2: The عِيَار of dirhems, and of deenárs, is [The rate, or standard, of fineness;] the quantity of pure silver, and of pure gold, that is put into them. (Mgh.) A2: [See also 1.]

عِيَارَةٌ Currency of a poem. (K.) عُيَيْرٌ [dim. of عَيْرٌ]. You say, فُلَانٌ عُيَيْرُ وَحْدِهِ (assumed tropical:) Such a one is a person who is pleased with his own opinion; (S, O, K;) an expression of dispraise; (S;) like as نَسِيجُ وَحْدِهِ is one of praise: (TA:) or a person who does not consult others, nor mix with them, yet in whom is ignobleness and weakness; as also جُحَيْشُ وَحْدِهِ [q. v.]: (Az:) or a person who eats by himself. (Th, K.) Youmay also say عِيَيْرٌ, like شِيَيْخٌ for شُيَيْخٌ; but you should not say عُوَيْر, nor شُوَيْخ. (S, O.) عَيِّرٌ: see عَائِرٌ.

عَيَّارٌ: see the next paragraph, in five places.

عَائِرٌ That goes to and fro, and round about; as also ↓ عَيَّارٌ: both are applied [to a man and] also to a dog: (TA:) and ↓ the latter is also expl. as follows: a man (TA) often coming and going (K, TA) in the land: (TA:) often going round about, (Fr, S, Msb, K,) often in motion, (Fr, S, Msb,) and sharp, or quick, of intellect: (S, K:) it is used as an epithet of praise and as one of dispraise: for instance, applied to a boy, it signifies brisk in obeying God, and brisk in acts of disobedience: (IAar:) and ↓ عَيِّرٌ, applied to a horse, signifies brisk, lively, or sprightly: (IAar:) and ↓ عَيَّارٌ, so applied, mischievous; and that is brisk, lively, or sprightly, so that he goes on one side of the way, and then turns to the other side: (TA:) and, applied to a man, that goes to and fro without work: (Ajnás en-Nátifee, Mgh:) or that leaves himself to follow his natural desire, not restraining himself. (IAmb, Mgh, Msb.) It is said in a prov., كَلْبٌ عَائِرٌ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَسَدٍ رَابِضٍ A dog going to and fro and round about is better [as a guard] than a lion lying down. (TA.) You say also شَاةٌ عَائِرَةٌ A sheep that goes to and fro between two flocks, not knowing which of them to follow: to such is a hypocrite likened. (TA.) And نَاقَةٌ عَائِرَةٌ A she-camel that goes forth from the other camels in order that the stallion may cover her (S, O, TA.) And جَمَلٌ عَائِرٌ A he-camel that leaves the females seven months gone with young, and goes to others. (S.) And بأَوْصَالٍ ↓ عَيَّارٌ A horse that goes away hither and thither, by reason of his sprightliness: (S, O:) or a lion that goes away with the joints, or whole bones. of men to his thicket. (IB.) ↓ العَيَّارُ is an appellation given to The lion, (S, O, K,) because of his coming and going in search of his prey. (S, O.) b2: قَصِيدَةٌ عَائِرَةٌ (assumed tropical:) An ode having currency. (O.) b3: سَهْمٌ An arrow from an unknown shouter. (Msb. [Mentioned also in art. عور.]) And ثَمَرَةٌ عَائِرَةٌ A fallen fruit, of which the owner is not known (TA.) A2: عَائِرُ العَيْنِ, and عَائِرَةُ عَيْنٍ or عَيْنَيْنِ, &c.: see art. عور.

مَا قَالَتِ العَرَبُ بَيْتًا أَعْيَرَ مِنْهُ The Arabs have not uttered a verse more current than it. (A, O, TA.) مُعَارٌ A horse, (S, K,) and a dog, (K.) made to go away as though he had escaped. or got loose: (K:) or made to escape: (TA:) or made to escape, or get loose, and go away hither and thither, by reason of his exceeding sprightliness. (S.) It is also expl. as signifying, applied to a horse, Fattened: and having the hair of is tail plucked out: these two explanations mentioned by IKtt and others: and made lean, or light of flesh. (TA. [See 4, last sentence.]) See also the next paragraph.

مِعَارٌ, (O, K,) as though originally مِعْيَرٌ, from عَارَ, aor. ـِ (Az, O,) A horse that turns away from the road with his rider. (O, K.) Hence the saying of Bishr Ibn-Abee-Házim, (K,) or Kházim, as written by Sgh, (TA,) not Et-Tirimmáh, J having made a mistake [in ascribing it to him (but in one of my copies of the S it is ascribed to Bishr Ibn-Abee-Házim and in the other to a poet unnamed)], أَحَقُّ الخَيْلِ بِالرَّكْضِ المِعَارُ [The most deserving, of horses, of being urged to run by the striking with the foot is he that turns away from the road with his rider]. (K.) Aboo-'Obeyd, (so in my copies of the S,) or Aboo-'Obeydeh, (so in the K and TA,) says that the people, in relating this, say ↓ المُعَارُ, [deriving it] from العَارِيَّة; which is a mistake: (S, K, TA:) the truth being that this is a mistake as to the damm and the derivation; which is the saying of IAar alone, and is mentioned by IB also: (TA:) or the last word is المُغَارُ. (TA in art. غور, q. v.) نَصْلٌ مُعْيَرٌ An iron head or blade, of an arrow or of a spear or of a sword or of a knife or the like, having what is termed عَيْرٌ. (AHn, from AA.) And كَفٌّ مُعْيِرَةٌ, and ↓ مُعَيِّرَةٌ, [so in the TA, but more probably مُعْيَرَةٌ and مُعَيَّرَةٌ,] A كَفّ [or hand] having what is so termed. (TA. [But I think that كَفٌّ is here a mistranscription for كَتِفٌ: see عَيْرٌ.]) اِبْنَةُ مِعْيَرٍ Calamity, (K, TA,) and hardship. (TA.) And بَنَاتُ مِعْيَرٍ Calamities. (S, O, TA,) and hardships. (TA.) مُعْيَرَةٌ, and the pl. مَعَايِرٌ: see عَارٌ كَفٌّ مُعَيَّرَةٌ [or كَتِفٌ?]: see مُعْيَرٌ.

مِعْيَارٌ: see عِيَارٌ.

مَعْيُورَى and مَعْيُورَآءُ: see عَيْرٌ, first sentence.

عجز

1 عَجڤزَ The primary signification of عَجْزٌ [an inf. n. of عَجَزَ] is The being, or becoming, behind, or behindhand, or backward, with respect to a thing; or holding back, hanging back, or abstaining, from it: and its happening at the latter, or last, part, or at the end, of an affair: and hence, in common conventional language, it has the signification shown by the explanation here next following. (Er-Rághib, B, &c., and TA.) b2: عَجَزَ, aor. ـِ inf. n. عَجْزٌ and مَعْجَزَةٌ and مَعْجِزَةٌ (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K) and مَعْجَزٌ, (S, O, Msb, K,) which is agreeable with rule, (S,) and مَعْجِزٌ, (S, O, Msb, K,) which is extr., (Sb, TA,) and عَجَزَانٌ and عُجُوزٌ; (O, K;) and عَجِزَ, aor. ـَ (O, Msb, K,) inf. n. عَجَزٌ, (Msb,) said by IKtt to be mentioned by Fr, as of the dial. of some of the tribe of Keys, but by others [and among them Sgh in the O] said to be a bad form, (TA,) or mentioned by Az, as of the dial. of some of the tribe of Keys-'Eylán, but not known to them, and said by IF to be disallowed by IAar in the sense here immediately following; (Msb;) He lacked strength, or power, or ability; he was, or became, powerless, impotent, or unable. (S, * Msb, * K, TA.) Yousay, عَجَزَ عَنْ كَذَا, (S, A, O, Msb, TA,) and accord. to some, as shown above, عَجِزَ عَنْهُ, (Msb, TA,) He lacked strength, or power, or ability, for, or to do, effect, accomplish, achieve, attain, or compass, such a thing; he was unable to do it: (S, * O, * Msb, * TA:) or (tropical:) he was too old to do it. (A, TA.) And it is said in a trad., (S, * Mgh,) of 'Omar, (TA,) لَا تُلِثُّوا بِدَارِ مَعْجَزَةٍ, meaning Remain ye not in a country, or district, or town, where ye are unable to gain your livelihood. (S, A, Mgh, * TA.) You say also, لَا يَسَعُنِى شَىْءٌ وَيَعْجِزُ عَنْكَ (tropical:) [app. A thing will not suffice me when it cannot thee]. (A, TA.) And جَاؤُوا بِجَيْشٍ تَعْجِزُ الأَرْضُ عَنْهُ (tropical:) [They came with an army which the earth had not strength to bear, or scarce sufficed to contain]. (A, TA.) b3: [and عَجَزَ عَنْ كَذَا also signifies He, or it, lacked such a thing: see an ex. voce عَرْفٌ.] b4: [Hence,] عَجَزَتْ, (S, O, Msb, K,) aor. ـُ (S, O, K,) or ـِ (Msb,) inf. n. عُجُوزٌ (S, O, K) and عَجْزٌ, (TA,) She (a woman, S, O, Msb) became aged; (S, O, Msb, K;) [because the aged lacks strength;] as also عَجُزَتْ, aor. ـُ (O, K;) and ↓ عَجَّزَتْ, inf. n. تَعْجِيزٌ. (S, O, K.) A2: عَجِزَتْ, aor. ـَ (S, O, K,) inf. n. عَجَزٌ and عُجْزٌ, (S, K,) [or the latter is a simple subst.,] or عَجْزٌ and عُجْزَانٌ, (O,) She (a woman, S) became large in the hinder parts, or posteriors; (S, O, K;) as also ↓ عُجِّزَتْ, inf. n. تَعْجِيزٌ: (Yoo, O, K:) and عَجِزَ, inf. n. عَجَزٌ, he (a man) became large therein: (Msb:) accord. to IAar, as related by Th, one does not say thus of a man except in this sense. (S, O.) b2: [Hence,] عَجِزَتِ الرَّمْلَةُ (assumed tropical:) The piece of sand became high. (IKtt, TA.) A3: عُجِزَ He (a man) was importuned for his property: part. n. ↓ مَعْجُوزٌ. (O.) A4: عَاجَزْتُهُ فَعَجَزْتُهُ: see 3.2 عجّزهُ, (Msb,) inf. n. تَعْجِيزٌ, (S, O, Msb, K,) He attributed, or imputed, to him lack of strength or power or ability; i. e., inability, or impotence: (S, * O, * K, * TA:) he asserted him to be, or called him, or made him, (جَعَلَهُ,) unable, or impotent. (Msb.) [Compare 4, in a sense given below from the B.] You say also, عَجَّزَ فُلَانٌ رَأْىَ فُلَانٍ Such a one attributed, or imputed, the opinion of such a one to littleness of good judgment, or of prudence; as though he attributed it to inability. (TA.) b2: Also He withheld him, or kept him back, or diverted him, (S, K,) from (عَنْ) a person or thing: (TA:) [as though he made him unable to attain his object: compare 4.]

A3: عُجِّزَتْ, said of a woman: see 1, latter part. b2: عجّز دَابَّتَهُ He put the حَقِيبَة [q. v.] upon his beast. (Sgh, TA.) b3: عجّز الشَّاعِرُ The poet uttered, or wrote, the عَجُز, or last foot, of the verse. (TA.) 3 عاجزهُ: see أَعْجَزَهُ.

A2: ↓ عَاجَزْتُهُ فَعَجَزْتُهُ, (A, K,) aor. of the latter عَجُزَ, (TA,) I contended with him in a race, and I outstripped him. (A, O, K.) b2: And عاجز (inf. n. مُعَاجِزَةٌ, TA) He outstripped, and was not reached; as also ↓ اعجز: (A:) or he went away, and was not reached: (S, O, K:) or he fled, and could not be caught. (Msb.) A3: عاجز إِلَى ثِقَةٍ He inclined to a trusty person, (S, A, O, K,) and had recourse to him for refuge. (A.) [Hence,] فُلَانٌ يُعَاجِزُ عَنِ الحَقِّ إِلَى البَاطِلِ Such a one declines from the truth to falsehood, and has recourse to the latter for protection. (A, TA.) b2: And عاجز القَوْمُ The people, or company of men, left a thing and began another. (TA.) 4 اعجزهُ He found him to be without strength, or power, or ability; to be unable, or impotent. (S, O, Msb, K.) b2: He, or it, made him to be (جَعَلَهُ) without strength or power or ability, to be unable, or impotent; disabled him; or incapacitated him; as also ↓ عاجزهُ. (B, TA.)

You say, اعجزهُ عَنِ الأَمْرِ He, or it, rendered him unable to do, effect, accomplish, achieve, attain, or compass, the affair.] b3: He, or it, rendered him (صَيَّرَهُ) unable (TS, K, TA) to attain, or overtake, him: (TS, TA:) b4: and [thus, by an inversion, it also signifies] he was unable to reach, or overtake, him. (Lth, TA.) b5: [It frustrated his power or ability, or his skill, or endeavours.] b6: It escaped him, so that he was unable to attain it, or to do it, or to accomplish it: (S, O, Msb, K:) and simply, he was unable to attain it, or to do it, or to accomplish it. (TA.) b7: See also 3.5 تعجّز البَعيرَ He rode upon the hinder part, or rump, of the camel. (Yaakoob, S, A, O, K.) عَجْزٌ: see عَجُزٌ. b2: Also, [said in the TA to be written by Sgh عَجَز, but it is written عَجْز in the O, and is thus accord. to the K,] A disease in the hinder part of a horse or the like, rendering him heavy. (O, K.) عُجْزٌ Old age of a woman: a simple subst. (TA.) You say, اِتَّقِى اللّٰهَ فِى شَبِيبَتِكِ وَعُجْزِكِ Fear thou God in thy youth and [thine old age, or] when thou becomest an old woman. (TA. [But اتّق is there put for اِتَّقِى: and in the explanation, تَصِيرُ for تَصِيرِينَ. See عَجَزَتْ.]) A2: See also عَجُزٌ. b2: [And see عَجِزَتْ.]

(TA.) One says also, إِنَّهَا لَعَظيِمَةُ الأَعْجَازِ Verily she is large in the hinder parts: as though the term عَجُزٌ were applicable to every portion thereof. (Lh, TA.)

(TA.) Thus expl. in a saying of 'Alee: لَنَا حَقٌّ إِنْ نُعْطَهُ نَأْخُذْهُ وَإِنْ نُمْنَعْهُ نَرْكَبْ أَعْجَازَ الإِبِلِ وَإِنْ طَالَ السُّرَى [There is a right belonging to us: if we be given it, we take it: and if we be refused it, we expose ourselves to abasement, &c., though the night-journeying be long]: (O, * TA:) or, accord. to Az, he does not mean this, but alludes to others' having precedence in respect of his right, and his being himself kept back from it. (TA.) One also says, بَنُو فُلَانٍ يَرْكَبُونَ أَعْجَازَ الإِبِلِ The sons of such a one are in a state of abasement, dependents of others: or experience difficulties; because the rump, or croup, of the camel is a difficult place to ride upon. (A.) And it is said by one of the wise, (Aktham Ibn-Seyfee, T, in TA, art. دبر,) لَا تَدَبَّرُوا أَعْجَازَ أُمُورٍ قَدْ وَلَّتْ صُدُورُهَا, (TA, in this art., and O,) or لَا تَتَدَبَّرُوا, (T, in TA, art. دبر,) (tropical:) [Think ye not upon the ends of things whereof the beginnings have passed:] meaning, when a thing has passed, make not your minds, or desires, to follow after it, regretting what has passed, but be consoled for it, placing your reliance upon God: (O, TA:) and, as IAth says, it is intended to incite to the consideration of the results, or issues, of affairs before the entering upon them.
