رمص

1 رَمِصَتْ عَيْنُهُ, (S, Msb, K,) aor. ـَ (Msb, K,) inf. n. رَمَصٌ, (Msb,) His eye had in it what is termed رَمَصٌ [q. v.]. (S, Msb, K.) And رَمِصَ, [aor. and] inf. n. as above, He had what is termed رَمَصٌ. (M.) A2: رَمَصْتُ إِلَيْهِ, aor. ـُ inf. n. رَمْصٌ, I looked towards him, or at him, with the most secret look. (O, TA.) 4 ارمصهُ It (disease) caused him to have what is termed رَمَصٌ. (M.) رَمَصٌ Filth, [or foul matter,] (S, Mgh,) or white filth, (K,) or tough, or dry, white filth, (A,) that collects, (S, A, K,) or concretes, (Mgh,) in the inner corner of the eye: (S, A, Mgh, K:) if fluid, it is called غَمَصٌ: (S:) or it is in the side of the eyelashes: (ISh, TA in art. غمص:) or what is fluid; what is concrete being termed غَمَصٌ: or i. q. غَمَصٌ, i. e. dirt which the eye emits: or smallness and sticking of the eye. (M.) You say, مَنْ أَسَآءَهُ الرَّمَصُ سَرَّهُ الغَمَصُ [Him whom tough, or dry, white filth collecting in the inner corner of the eye vexes, fluid matter therein rejoices]: for غَمَص is a fresh fluid; and that is better than the tough, or dry. (A, TA.) رُمَيْصَآءُ [dim. of رَمْصَآءُ, fem. of أَرْمَصُ]. b2: الشِّعْرَى

الرُّمَيْصَآءُ [i. q. الشِّعْرَى الغُمَيْصَآءُ, i. e., Procyon; (see الشَّعْرَى;)] one of the two stars of the ذِرَاع: so called because of its smallness and its littleness of light [in comparison with the other شِعْرَى, which is Syrius]. (M.) أَرْمَصُ A man (S, Mgh, Msb) having, in his eye, what is termed رَمَصٌ: (S, M, Mgh, Msb, K:) fem. رَمْصَآءُ: (Msb, K:) and pl. رُمْصٌ. (TA.)

زهو

1 زَهَا, said of seed-produce, It increased, or augmented; received increase and blessing from God; or throve by the blessing of God: (JK, TA:) [or,] said of herbage, aor. ـْ inf. n. زَهْوٌ, it attained its full growth: (Msb:) or it put forth its fruit: or it became tall: (TA:) and, said of palm-trees, (نَخْلٌ, S, Msb, K, TA,) and likewise of plants, (TA,) aor. as above, (Msb, TA,) and so the inf. n., (S, Msb, TA,) they became tall; (K, TA;) became tall and fullgrown; or became of their full height, and blossomed; (TA;) and ↓ ازهى signifies the same: (K:) or both signify they (i. e. palm-trees) showed redness, and yellowness, in their fruit; (S, Msb;) the latter verb mentioned by Az, but [it is said that] As did not know it: (S: [see, however, what follows:]) or, as some say, the former signifies they put forth their fruit; and ↓ the latter, as expl. next before: (Msb:) accord. to Abu-lKhattáb and Lth, one says of palm-trees (نَخْل) only يُزْهِى; not يَزْهُو: and As [is related to have] said, [contr. to what has been asserted of him above,] that when redness appears in [the fruit of] palm-trees, one says ازهى. (TA.) And زَهَا التَّمْرُ, (JK,) or البُسْرُ; and ↓ ازهى; (Mgh, K;) and ↓ زهّى, (K,) inf. n. تَزْهِيَةٌ; (TA;) [The dates, or dates beginning to ripen,] showed their goodness by redness, and yellowness: (JK:) became red, and yellow: (Mgh:) became coloured. (K.) Hence the trad., نَهَى عَنْ بَيْعِ ثَمَرِ النَّخْلِ حَتَّى يَزْهُوَ, or ↓ يُزْهِىَ, [He forbade the selling of the fruit of the palm-trees until its becoming red or yellow], thus differently related. (Mgh.) b2: You say also, زَهَا الغُلَامُ, (K,) aor. and inf. n. as above, (TA,) The boy grew up; or attained to youthful vigour, or the prime of manhood. (K.) b3: And زَهَتِ الشَّاةُ, (JK, S, K,) aor. as above, (S,) and so the inf. n., (JK, S,) The ewe, or she-goat, became large in her udder: (JK:) or secreted milk in her udder, and was near to bringing forth. (Az, S, K. *) b4: And زَهَتِ الرِّيحُ The wind rose, blew, or became in a state of commotion. (S.) b5: and زَهَتِ الإِبِلُ, (JK, S, M, K,) aor. as above, (JK, M,) and so the inf. n., (S, M,) The camels journeyed, after coming to water, (JK, S, M, K,) a night or more, (JK, S, M,) so says A'Obeyd, (S,) or a night or two nights. (K.) And The camels passed along, (مَرَّت,) so in the copies of the K, but correctly مَدَّت [i. e. made much advance in journeying], as in the M, (TA,) in search of pasturage, after they had drunk, (K, TA,) not pasturing around the water. (TA.) The verb used in relation to camels is also trans., as will be shown below. (S, &c.) A2: زَهْوٌ [as inf. n. of the trans. v. زَهَا, aor. ـْ primarily signifies The act of raising, or elevating: and the act of shaking; or putting in motion, or into a state of commotion: whence زَهَاهُ السَّرَابُ and زَهَتِ الرِّيحُ النَّبَاتَ [both expl. in what follows]. (Har p. 171.) You say, زَهَتِ الأَمْوَاجُ السَّفِينَةَ The waves raised the ship. (TA.) And زَهَا السَّرَابُ الشَّىْءَ, aor. ـْ The mirage raised, or elevated, [to the eye,] the thing [seen in it or beyond it; or rather, made it to appear tall, and as though quivering, vibrating, or playing up and down; as is perhaps meant to be indicated by the citation above from Har]; syn. رَفَعَهُ; written only [thus] with ا [in the pret. and in the aor. ]: (S:) and السَّرَابُ يَزْهَى القُبُورَ وَالحُمُولَ The mirage is as though it raised the tombs and the women's camel-vehicles; or elevated them; expl. by the words كَأَنَّهُ يَرْفَعُهَا. (TA.) b2: And زَهَا المِرْوَحَةَ, said of a person fanning, He put in motion the fan; or put it into a state of commotion; as also ↓ زَهَّاهَا. (TA.) And زَهَتِ الرِيحُ الشَّجَرَ, (S,) or النَّبَاتَ, (K, * TA,) aor. ـْ (S, TA,) inf. n. زَهْوٌ, (K, TA,) The wind shook, or put in motion or into a state of commotion, (S, K, * TA,) the trees, (S,) or the plants, or herbage, after the dew or rain (غِبَّ النَّدَى). (K, TA.) b3: And زَهَاهُ, (S, TA,) inf. n. زَهْوٌ; (K, TA;) and ↓ ازدهاهُ, (S, TA,) inf. n. اِزْدِهَآءٌ; (K, TA;) [not ازهاهُ, as in the TK, followed by Freytag;] i. q. اِسْتَخَفَّهُ: (S, K, * TA:) and تَهَاوَنَ بِهِ: (S:) [the former of these two explanations as meaning He, or it, incited him, or excited him, to briskness, liveliness, or sprightliness; or to lightness, levity, or unsteadiness: and the latter of them, or both of them, for the former is often syn. with the latter, as meaning he held him, or it, in little, or light, estimation or account, or in contempt; he contemned, or despised, him, or it: but of this latter meaning I do not remember to have met with any ex.:] and بِهِ ↓ ازدهى signifies the same as ازدهاه (TA) meaning تَهَاوَنَ بِهِ. (JK.) Yousay, زَهَاهُ الشَّىْءُ and ↓ ازدهاهُ, meaning [agreeably with the former of the two explanations in the sentence immediately preceding] اِسْتَخَفَّهُ طَرَبًا: (Har p. 359:) and ↓ يَزْــدَهِيــنِى as meaning [agreeably with the same explanation] يَسْتَفِزُّنِى and يَسْتَخِفُّنِى: (Id. p. 131:) and القَوْمَ ↓ ازدهى as meaning [in like manner] اِسْتَخَفَّهُمْ مِنَ الطَّرَبِ; and also as meaning He pleased the people, or party: (Id. p. 427:) and ↓ اِزْدَهَاهُ also as meaning حَمَلَهُ عَلَى الزَّهْوِ [He incited him, or excited him, to pride, or conceit, or the like]: (Id. p. 131:) and زَهَاهُ الكِبْرُ (K) Pride rendered him self-conceited. (TK.) 'Omar Ibn-'Abee-Rabeea says, وَلَمَّا تَقَاوَضْنَا الحَدِيثَ وَأَسْفَرَتْ وُجُوهٌ زَهَاهَا الحُسْنُ أَنْ تَتَقَنَّعَا meaning And when we discoursed together, and faces shone, beauty excited the possessors of them to levity (اِسْتَخَفَّ أَرْبَابَهَا) and prevented their veiling them with the قِنَاع [or head-covering], by reason of self-admiration: or, as some say, the ها in زهاها refers to a woman mentioned before, not to وجوه; and the meaning is, beauty excited her &c.: and thus the women of the Arabs used to do when they were beautiful: or you may consider the complement of لَمَّا as suppressed; as though he said, when we did all that, we behaved with mutual familiarity, or the like; for the complements of لَوْ and لَمَّا and حِينَ may be suppressed, and their vagueness by reason of their suppression is more forcible in respect of the meaning: أَنْ تَتَقَنَّعَا means مِنْ أَنْ تَتَقَنَّعَا; for they often suppress the preposition with أَنْ: (Ham pp. 552-3:) [J gives two readings of this verse, accord to one of my copies of the S: one is with تَنَازَعَا in the place of تَقَاوَضْنَا, and أَشْرَقَتْ in the place of أَسْفَرَتْ; which make no difference in the meaning: but this is omitted in my other copy: the other is as follows:] فَلَمَّا تَوَافَقْنَا سَلَّمْتُ أَقْبَلَتْ وُجُوهٌ زَهَاهَا الحُسْنُ أَنْ تَتَقَنَّعَا [And when we agreed together, and I saluted, faces advanced, which beauty excited &c, or the possessors of which beauty excited &c.]. (S.) And hence their saying, بِخَدِيعَةٍ ↓ فُلَانٌ لَا يُزْدَهَى

[Such a one will not be incited, or excited, to briskness, &c., by means of deceit, or guile]. (S.) And الفَرَحُ ↓ ازدهاهُ, meaning اِسْتَخَفَّهُ [Joy incited him, &c.]. (MA.) [And hence, perhaps, may be derived most of the following significations.]

b4: زَهَا الطَّلُّ النَوْرَ The طلّ [or fine drizzling rain] made the flowers, or blossoms, to increase in beauty of aspect. (TA.) b5: زَهَا السِّرَاجَ, (K,) aor. ـو [perhaps a mistranscription for يَزْهَاهُ], inf. n. زَهْوٌ, (TA,) He made the سراج [or lamp, or lighted wick,] to give a bright light. (K.) b6: زَهَوْتُ الإِبِلَ I made the camels to journey, after coming to water, (A 'Obeyd, JK, S, K,) a night or more, (A 'Obeyd, JK, S,) or a night or two nights. (K.) Thus the verb in relation to camels is trans. as well as intrans. (S.) b7: زَهَا بِالسَّيْفُ He made a sign with the sword by waving it, or brandishing it. (K, TA.) b8: زَهَا بِالعَصَا He struck with the staff, or stick. (K.) b9: زَهَا بِمِائَةِ رِطْلٍ He computed, or computed by conjecture, [to be of the weight of] a hundred pounds. (K.) You say, زَهَاهُ بِمِائَةِ رِطْلٍ meaning خرزه [a mistake for حَزَرَهُ i. e. He computed it, &c., to be of the weight of a hundred pounds]. (TK. In the TA, زها فلان بمائة رطل, [الشَّىْءَ or the like being omitted by an oversight,] aor. ـْ [which indicates an omission after فلان].) And زَهَوْتُ القَوْمَ I computed, or computed by conjecture, the number of the people, or party. (JK.) A3: زُهِىَ, (JK, S, K,) like عُنِىَ; (S, K;) and زَهَا, (IDrd, S, K,) like دَعَا, but this is rare, (K,) and was dissallowed by As in the sense of زُهِىَ, (TA in art. نخو,) aor. ـْ inf. n. زَهْوٌ; (IDrd, S;) and ↓ أَزْهَى; (K;) said of a man, (JK, S,) He behaved proudly, haughtily, or insolently; (S, K, * TA;) he was proud, vain, and boastful; (K;) or was pleased with himself, or self-conceited: (JK:) ازدهى [i. e. ↓ اُزْدُهِىَ], in like manner, means تَكَبَّرَ: (Har p. 264: [but this more properly signifies, as shown above by an explanation of اِزْدَهَاهُ, he was incited, or excited, to lightness, levity, or unsteadiness:]) the first of these verbs [may be originally pass. of زَهَا in the phrase زَهَاهُ الكِبْرُ, mentioned before, but, as J says,] is one of a class of verbs used in the pass. form though having the sense of the act. form: in using it imperatively, you say, لِتُزْهَ يَا رَجُلُ [Behave thou proudly, &c., O man; see art. ت]; and like this is the aor. [used as an imperative] of every verb of which the agent is not named; for when it is reduced to its essential import, you thereby command something, other than the person whom you address, to affect, or befall, that person; and the third person of the [aor. used as an] imperative is never without ل, as when you say, لِيَقُمْ زَيْدٌ: (S, TA:) J also says, (TA,) I said to an Arab of the desert, of [the tribe of] Benoo-Suleym, What is the meaning of زُهِىَ الرَّجُلُ? and he answered, The man was pleased with himself, or self-conceited: I said, Dost thou say, زَهَا as meaning اِفْتَخَرَ [He gloried, or boasted, &c.]? and he answered, As for us, we do not say it. (S, TA.) One says also, زُهِىَ فُلَانٌ بِكَذَا i. e. نُخِىَ [Such a one gloried, or boasted, and magnified himself, or behaved proudly, by reason of such a thing]; as though meaning زَهَاهُ الإِعْجَابُ بِنَفْسِهِ [i. e. self-conceit elevated him by reason of such a thing]. (Har p. 171.) b2: and one says, زُهِىَ الشَّىْءُ بِعَيْنَيْكَ or لِعَيْنَيْكَ The thing was beautiful in aspect in, or to, thine eyes. (S, accord. to different copies. [The meaning is there shown by what immediately precedes. In three copies of the S, I find the verb in this phrase thus written, زُهِىَ; and only in the PS, زها, for زَهَا, which is the form given by Golius: Freytag writes the phrase زَهَى الشى بعينك.]) 2 زَهَّوَ see 1, in two places, in the former half of the paragraph.4 أَزْهَوَ see 1, in four places, in the first three sentences: b2: and again, in one place, in the last quarter of the same paragraph.

A2: مَا أَزْهَاهُ [meaning How proud, vain, boastful, or selfconceited, is he!] is from زَهَا as syn. with زُهِىَ; not from the latter of these two verbs, because the verb of wonder is not formed from a verb of which the agent is not named. (S.) 8 اِزْدَهَى [originally اِزْتَهَى]: see 1, as a trans. verb, in eight places. And اُزْدُهِىَ: see 1, in the last quarter of the paragraph.

زَهْوٌ [is the inf. n. of زَهَا (q. v.): and also has the significations here following. b2: ] Pride [as implying self-elevation]: (JK, S, K:) vanity, or vain behaviour: (K:) boasting, or glorying: (S, K:) and wrongdoing, injustice, injuriousness, or tyranny. (TA.) b3: A false, or vain, saying; syn. بَاطِلٌ; (S, K, and Ham p. 24;) a lie, or falsehood; (JK, S, K, and Ham * ubi suprà;) or an exaggeration in speech. (Ham ubi suprà.) You say, قَالَ زَهْوًا [He said a false, or vain, saying, &c.]. (Ham ubi suprà.) b4: A beautiful aspect. (S, K.) b5: The blossoms, or flowers, of a plant. (Lth, K.) b6: The brightness of a plant (K, TA) by its becoming red or yellow; (TA;) as also ↓ زُهُوٌّ, (K, TA,) like عُلُوٌّ, (TA,) [in the CK كالزَّهْوِ is here put in the place of كَالزُّهُوِّ,] and ↓ زَهَآءٌ, (K, TA,) like سَحَابٌ, as the unrestricted mention of it requires, but in some of the copies of the K with damm [i. e. زُهَآءٌ]. (TA.) b7: Also, [or نَبَاتٌ زَهْوٌ, as in the TK,] A plant beautiful and bright, (K,) or fresh. (TA.) b8: And Dates beginning to ripen (بُسْرٌ) that are becoming coloured (مُلَوِّنٌ), (so in some copies of the S and K, and in the Mgh, or مُتَلَوِّنٌ [which signifies the same], Har p. 416), or that have become coloured (مُلَوَّنٌ); (so in other copies of the S and K;) as also ↓ زُهُوٌّ, (K, TA,) like عُلُوٌّ, thus in the handwriting of Az in the T: (TA:) [here, again, in the CK we find كالزَّهْوِ put in the place of كَالزُّهُوِّ: or perhaps it should be ↓ كَالزُّهْوِ; as appears from what follows in the next sentence:] in this sense, زَهْوٌ is an inf. n. used as a subst. (Mgh.) One says, when redness and yellowness appear in palm-trees, قَدْ ظَهَرَ فِيهِ الزَّهْوُ [Dates becoming, or become, red, or yellow, have appeared in them; i. e. فِى النَّخْلِ]: and the people of El-Hijáz say, ↓ الزُّهْوُ, with damm: (S:) [Fei says,] the subst. from زَهَا النَّخْلُ meaning “ the palm-trees showed redness and yellowness in their fruit ” is الزهو [i. e. ↓ الزُّهْوُ], with damm; and AHát says that this term is used only when the colour of the date has become free from admixture in redness or yellowness. (Msb.) b9: Yousay also ثَوْبٌ زَهْوٌ A red and beautiful garment or piece of cloth: and ثِيَابٌ زَهْوَةٌ and ↓ زَاهِيَةٌ [red and beautiful garments &c.]. (JK.) زُهْوٌ: see the next preceding paragraph, latter half, in three places.

زُهَا الدُّنْيَا The ornature, finery, show, pomp, or gaiety, of the present life or world. (K, TA.) The former noun [when indeterminate] is [with tenween, زُهًا,] like هُدًى. (K.) زَهْوَةٌ A shining, glistening, or brilliancy; whatever be the colour. (TA.) زَهَآءٌ: see زَهْوٌ, in the former half of the paragraph.

زُهَآءٌ Number, or amount. (JK, Msb.) Yousay, كَمْ زُهَاؤُهُمْ How many is their number? or how much is their amount? (Msb, TA:) or, the computation of them? (TA.) And هُمْ زُهَآءُ مِائَةٍ

[They are as many as a hundred;] they are the number, or amount, of a hundred; (El-Fárábee, S, Mgh, Msb, K; *) or their number, or amount, is a hundred: (Mgh:) and مِائَةٍ ↓ زِهَآءُ, also, with kesr: (El-Fárábee, Msb:) but the saying of the [common] people هُمْ زُهَآء عَلَى مِائَة is not [correct] Arabic. (Msb.) b2: Also A large number: whence in a trad. respecting the time of the resurrection, إِذَا سَمِعْتُمْ بِنَاسٍ مِنْ قِبَلِ المَشْرِقِ

أُولِى زُهَآءٍ i. e. [When ye hear of men coming from the direction of the east,] having a large number. (TA.) b3: And زُهَآءُ الشَّىْءِ signifies The شَخْص [i. e. corporeal form or figure or substance, which one sees from a distance,] of the thing. (TA.) زِهَآءُ مِائَةٍ: see the next preceding paragraph.

زُهُوٌّ: see زَهْوٌ, in two places. b2: Also The redness of colour, and beauty, of garments or cloths. (JK.) زَاهٍ [act. part. n. of زَهَا]. b2: إِبِلٌ زَاهِيَةٌ Camels that will not pasture upon the [plants, or trees, termed] حَمْضِ: (ISk, S:) pl. زَوَاهٍ. (TA.) b3: زَاهِى اللَّوْن Bright in respect of colour. (TA.) ثِيَابٌ زَاهِيَةٌ: see زَهْوٌ, last sentence.

أَزْهَى [meaning More, and most, proud, vain, boastful, or self-conceited, is, like مَا أَزْهَاهُ (q. v.), from زَهَا as syn. with زُهِىَ; not from the latter of these two verbs]. You say أَزْهَى مِنْ غُرَابٍ [More proud, &c., than a crow]; (S, Meyd;) because the crow, in walking, ceases not to go with a proud, or self-conceited, gait, and to look at itself: and مِنْ وَعِلٍ [than a mountain-goat]: and من طَاؤُوسٍ [than a peacock]: and دِيكٍ and ذُبَابٍ and ثَوْرٍ and ثَعْلَبٍ [a cock and a fly and a bull and a fox]: all these are provs. (Meyd.) إِنْزَهْوٌ, in which each of the first two letters is augmentative, and which is said to be the only word of its kind except إِنْقَحْلٌ from قَحَلَ, (MF, TA,) applied to a man, Proud, haughty, or insolent; (Lh, K;) as also ↓ مُزْدَهًى [which more properly means incited, or excited, to lightness, levity, or unsteadiness]; (Har p. 264:) pl. of the former إِنْزَهْوُونَ. (Lh, TA.) [See also what next follows.]

مَزْهُوٌّ, from زُهِى, applied to a man, Proud, haughty, or insolent; (S, TA;) [vain, and boast-ful;] pleased with himself, or self-conceited. (TA.) [See also what next precedes.]

مُزْدَهًى: see إِنْزَهْوٌ, above.

(T, Msb.) أُبُودٌ also signifies The shrinking from a thing, or shunning it; syn. نُفُورٌ. (Kull pp. 30 and 31.) And أَبِدَ, (S, K,) aor. ـَ (K;) and ↓ تأبّد; (A, K;) He (a man, S, A,) became unsocial, unsociable, unfamiliar, or sky; like a wild animal; syn. توحّش. (S, A, K.) b3: [Hence,] أَبَدَ, (K,) aor. ـِ inf. n. أُبُودٌ, (TA,) (tropical:) He (a poet) made use, in his verses, of words, or phrases, strange, unusual, unfamiliar, or far from being intelligible, (K, * TA,) such as were not understood (K) at first sight, or on first consideration. (TA.) b4: [And perhaps from أَبِدَ in the sense explained above, but more probably, I think, by the substitution of أ for و,] أَبِدَ, aor. ـَ (T, S, &c.,) inf. n. أَبَدٌ, (L,) He (a man, S) was angry; (T, S, M, L, K;) as also أَمِدَ and وَبِدَ and وَمِدَ and عَبِدَ. (T, L.) You say, أَبِدَ عَلَيْهِ He was angry with him. (L.) 2 أبّد, inf. n. تَأْبِيدٌ, He made, or rendered, perpetual. (S, K.) [See also the pass. part. n. below.] لَمْ أَفْعَلْ تَأْبِيدًا is a phrase used as though meaning ↓ لَمْ آتِ بِآبِدَةٍ [I did not a deed ever to be remembered, or mentioned]. (Ham p. 191.) b2: He, or it, made [a beast] to take fright; to become wild, or sky. (KL.) 5 تأبّد: see 1, in two places. b2: He (a man) was long distant from his home; expl. by طَالَتْ غُرْبَتُهُ; (K;) or was long in a state of celibacy; طالت عُزْبَتُهُ, as in one copy of the K; (TA;) and became little in need, or little desirous, of women. (K.) b3: It (a place of abode or sojourning) became deserted [by mankind]: (T, M, K:) and became inhabited by wild animals. (T, M, A.) إِبْدٌ: see إِبِدٌ

أَبَدٌ Time, syn. دَهْرٌ, (S, M, Msb, K,) in an absolute sense: (TA:) or a long time, syn. دَهْرٌ طَوِيلٌ: (A, and Mgh: [and this may be meant in the S &c. by the syn. دَهْرٌ alone, q. v.:]) or, properly, a long time (دهر طويل) that is unlimited: (Msb, TA:) or an extended space of time that is indivisible; for you say زَمَانُ كَذَا: “ the time of such a thing,” but not أَبَدُ كَذَا: (Er-Rághib:) [and generally, time, or duration, or continuance, or existence, without end; endless time, &c.; prospective eternity; opposed to أَزَلٌ, which signifies “ time, or duration, &c., without beginning: ” (see the latter word for further explanations, &c.:) each of these significations may be meant by the explanation in the S and M and K, which is also given in the Msb: each correctly applies in particular instances:] pl. [of pauc.] آبَادٌ (S, M, Msb, K) and [of mult.] أُبُودٌ (S, M, K) [and أَبَدُونَ, of which an ex. will be found below]: but the use of these pls. is restricted to particular cases, to signify portions of time, or to serve as corroboratives to the sing.: (MF:) as signifying an extended indivisible space of time, [or the like,] أَبَدٌ should have neither dual nor pl.; but آبَادٌ is sometimes said, when the sing. is restricted to denote a particular part, or portion, of the whole of that to which it applies, in like manner as a generic noun is restricted to a special and partial signification: some, however, have mentioned آبَادٌ as being post-classical; not of the language of the Arabs called العَرَبُ العَرْبَآءُ. (Er-Rághib.) طَالَ الأَبَدْ عَلَى لُبَدْ [The time became long to Lubad, the last, and the longest of life, of Luk-mán's seven vultures, to the term of the life of which his own term of life was decreed to extend,] is a proverb applied to any thing that has been of long duration. (M.) And you say, رَزَقَكَ اللّٰهُ عُمُرًا طَوِيلَ الآبَادِ بَعِيدَ الآمَادِ [May God grant thee a life long in duration (lit. durations, the pl. form being used not in its proper sense, but to give intensiveness of signification), and remote in limit (lit. limits)]. (A.) And كَانَ هٰذَا فِى آبَادِ الدَّهْرِ This was a long time ago. (Mgh.) And ↓ أَبَدٌ آبِدٌ (TA) and ↓ أَبَدٌ أَبِيدٌ, (S, M, TA,) meaning دَائِمٌ [in an intensive sense]; (TA;) [A long, or an endless, period of time;] like as you say, دَهْرٌ دَاهِرٌ (S) or دَهْرٌ دَهِيــرٌ. (M.) [In each of these phrases, the latter word is added as a corroborative, or to give intensiveness to the signification.] لِلْأَبِدَ and لِأَبِدٍ and [in an intensive sense, as will be seen below,] لِأَبِدَ أَبَدٍ and لِأَبَدِ الأَبَدِ, accord. to different recitals of a trad., signify To the end of time; for ever; and for ever and ever. (TA.) أَبَدًا is an adv. n., of which the signification includes all future time; [meaning Ever; like قَطُّ in relation to past time;] (El-Khafájee, El-Bedr Ed-Demámeenee, MF;) and عَلَى الأَبَدِ signifies the same. (TA.) [So, too, does الأَبَدَ, unless used in a limited sense known to the hearer.] When you say, لَا أُكَلِّمُهُ أَبَدًا, you mean, [I will not speak to him as long as I live, or henceforth, or ever; or I will never speak to him; i. e.,] from the time of your speaking to the end of your life. (Msb.) [In this case, أَبَدًا may also be considered as a mere corroborative. It is used in both these ways (للتَّأْسِيسِ and لِلتَّوْكِيدِ) in affirmative as well as negative sentences. For exs. of its use in affirmative sentences, see the Kur xviii. 2 and iv. 60, &c.] One also says, لَا أَفْعَلُهُ, (S, M, A,) and لَا آتِيهِ, (T, K,) أَبَدَ الآبَادِ, (T, M, A, K,) which, though of classical authority, is said to be no evidence of the use of آباد as a pl. of أَبَدٌ in a general way by the Arabs of the classical ages, as it is here added merely as a corroborative, as آزال is in the phrase أَزَلَ الآزَالِ; (MF;) and أَبَدَ الأَبَدِينَ, (M, A, K,) in which the latter word is not a rel. n., for if so it would be الأَبَدِيِّينَ, but app. a pl., (M,) like أَرَضُونَ; (M, K;) and ↓ أَبَدَ الآبِدِينَ, (S, K,) like as you say, دَهْرَ الآبِدِينَ; (S;) and ↓ أَبَدَ الأَبَدِيَّةِ; (M, K;) and ↓ أَبَدَ الأَبِيدِ; (T, S, M, A, K;) and أَبِيدَ

↓ الأَبِيدِ; (M, K;) and أَبَدَ الأَبَدِ; (K;) and أَبَدَ الدَّهْرِ; (M, K; [in the T يَدَ الدَّهْرِ;]) all of which phrases are the same in meaning; (K;) [i. e. I will not do it, and I will not come to him, (or لا آتيه may here mean the same as لا افعله,) during the endless space of all future times, or time; or the like; or for ever and ever; εἰς αἰῶνα τῶν αἰώνων ; in seculum seculorum; in omne ævum;] the last word in every case being a corroborative. (MF.) b2: Also, [for ذُو أَبَدٍ, and (applied to a fem. n.) ذَاتُ أَبَدٍ,] Lasting: or everlasting. (S, A, K.) So in the saying, الدُّنيَاء أَمَدٌ وَالآخِرَةُ أَبَدٌ [The present state of existence is limited in duration, but the final state of existence is everlasting]. ('Obeyd Ibn-'Omeyr and L.) And الأَبَدُ signifies [The Everlasting; i. e. God; because He alone is ↓ البَاقِى الأَبَدِيّ The Enduring without end or cessation; for the Muslims hold that all living creatures (even the angels) must die, and be raised again to life: or] The Ancient without beginning. (K.) A2: Also Offspring that is a year old. (K.) أَبِدٌ Unsocial, unsociable, unfamiliar, or shy; like a wild animal; applied to a man, and to a young camel: (S, L:) and ↓ إِبِدٌ, applied to a female slave, and to a she-ass, signifies shunning mankind, shy, or wild. (K.) [See also آبِدٌ.]

A2: See also إِبِدٌ, in four places.

إِبِدٌ: see أَبِدٌ.

A2: This word, (Lth, ISh, S, K,) said by Lth and ISh to be the only word of its measure heard from the Arabs except إِبِلٌ and نِكِحٌ and خِطِبٌ, but Az says that he had not heard the last two from any person worthy of reliance, and that they are pronounced نِكْحٌ and خِطْبٌ, (L,) [see إِبِلٌ,] and ↓ أَبِدٌ and ↓ إِبْدٌ, (K,) which are thought by Az to be dial. vars. of the first, (L,) applied to a female slave, and to a she-ass, signify Prolific; that breeds, or brings forth, plentifully; (S, K;) and ↓ أَبِدٌ and ↓ أَبِدَةٌ (Aboo-Málik, TA) and ↓ إِبِدَةٌ, (Aboo-Málik, K,) applied to a she-camel, signify the same: (Aboo-Málik, K, TA:) and إِبِدٌ (Lth, ISh, L) and ↓ أَبِدٌ, (M, L,) applied to a female slave, (M, L,) and to a she-ass, (Lth, ISh, M, L,) and to a mare, (M, L,) that brings forth every year; (Lth, ISh, L;) or applied as a pl. to the female slave and the mare and the she-ass, that breed, or bring forth: (M, L:) and الإِبِدَانِ the female slave and the mare. (K, TA.) In the following saying, الَّابِجَدِّ ذِى الإِبِدْ لَنْ يُقْلِعَ الجَدُّ النَّكِدْ فِى كُلِّ مَا عَامٍ تَلِدْ [Hard fortune will not depart save with the fortune which is the necessary attendant of the possessor of the female slave, as long as he possesses her, (or, if we take ذى in the sense of هٰذِهِ, save with the fortune of this female slave,) who every year (ما being redundant) brings forth,] الابد means the female slave because her being prolific is an obstacle to prosperity, and is not good fortune; i. e., she only increases evil [and brings reproach upon her master by bearing him children; for the Arab in ancient times was considered as dishonoured by his having a child by a slave]. (S.) The Arabs also said, ↓ الاَّ الأَبِدْ لَنْ يَبْلُغَ الجَدَّ النَّكِدْ, meaning Nothing will attain to the object of removing hard fortune save female slaves and beasts or cattle which breed, or bring forth. (M, L: [in the latter of which is added, فِى كُلِّ عَامٍ تَلِدْ in every year bringing forth.]) أَبِدَةٌ: see إِبِدٌ.

إِبِدَةٌ: see إِبِدٌ.

أَبَدِىٌّ: see أَبَدٌ, last sentence but one.

أَبَدِيَّةٌ [The quality, or attribute, of unlimited, indivisible, or endless, duration; everlastingness]. (M, K.) See أَبَدٌ. b2: أَبَدِيَّاتٌ a term applied to Sayings of which the following is an ex.: لَا آتِيكَ مَا بَلَّ بَحْرٌ صُوفَةً. (M in art. صوف [q. v.]; &c.) أَبُودٌ: see آبِدٌ.

أَبِيدٌ: see أَبَدٌ, in three places.

آبِدٌ Remaining, staying, abiding, or dwelling, constantly, continually, or permanently, in a place; applied to a man [and to a bird]. (L.) And أَوَابِدُ [pl. of آبِدَةٌ] Birds that remain in a country constantly, winter and summer; (T, L;) contr. of قَوَاطِعُ. (A, L.) b2: For the phrases أَبَدٌ آبِدٌ and أَبَدَ الآبِدِينَ, see أَبَدٌ. b3: A wild animal; (M, L, Msb;) that shuns, and takes fright at, mankind, amp;c.: (L, Msb:) fem. with ة: pl. [properly fem.]

أَوَابِدُ, (M, Mgh, L,) and [masc. and fem.] أُبَّدٌ: (M, L:) and ↓ أَبُودٌ is syn. with آبِدٌ; (M;) as also ↓ مُتَأَبِّدٌ. (A.) Wild animals are called أَوَابِدُ (S, M, L, K) and أُبَّدٌ (M, L, K) because they endure for a long, or [naturally] unlimited, time; (M, L;) because they do not die a natural death, (As, M, L, K,) but from some evil accident; and the same is asserted of the serpent. (As, M, L.) [See also أَبِدٌ.] [Hence,] قَيْدُ الأَوَابِدِ (assumed tropical:) The light, or active, horse, which overtakes the wild animals, and which they can hardly, or never, escape: so called because he prevents their escaping the pursuer like a shackle.

(A trad.) آبِدَةٌ fem. of آبِدٌ, q. v. b2: Also, [as a subst.,] (assumed tropical:) A deed, (Har p. 364,) or a calamity, (S, M, K,) ever to be remembered, or mentioned, (S, M, K, Har,) by reason of its extraordinary nature, and its grievousness: (Har:) or a great, or formidable, event, at which people take fright, or are alarmed: (TA:) or a strange, abominable, or evil, thing: (Ham p. 627:) pl. أَوَابِدُ. (K.) You say, جَاءَ فُلَانٌ بِآبِدَةٍ Such a one did, or brought to pass, [a deed or] calamity ever to be remembered, or mentioned. (S.) See also 2. b3: (tropical:) A strange, an unusual, or an unfamiliar, word or saying; one far from being intelligible; (M;) pl. أَوَابِدُ, signifying expressions of subtile meanings; so called because remote from perspicuity.

(S.) [See أَبَدَ.]

مُؤَبَّدٌ [Made, or rendered, perpetual]. Yousay, وَقَفَ أَرْضَهُ وَقْفًا مُؤَبَدًا He made his land an unalienable bequest for pious uses in perpetuity, not to be sold nor to be inherited.

(JK, TA.) Accord. to As, one says also, لَا دَهٍ فَلَا دَهٍ, meaning I will not accept either of the two actions proposed. (TA.) Az says that this saying shows ده to be Pers\., and to mean The act of striking: you say to a man, ↓ دِهْ, meaning Strike thou: and he says, I have seen it written with kesr in the book of Az. (TA.) ↓ دِهْ in Pers\. means Give thou: and metonymically, the act of striking. (TA.) دُهْ دُهْ A cry by which camels are chidden; (IAar, TA;) a cry by which camels are called to their young ones. (K in art. دوه.) A2: دُهْ دُرَّيْنِ, or دُهْ دُرَّيْنْ: see art. دهدر.

(S.)

(TA.) And you say, حَفَفْتُهُ بِهِمْ I surrounded it, or him, with them. (Ksh and Bd in xviii. 31, and TA.)

As] says, the حَفَّة is the مِنْوَال; and it should not be called the ↓ حَفّ; for the حَفّ is the مِنْسَج: (S, O:) [the former is also applied to the yarnbeam, upon which the yarn is rolled: see نِيرٌ:] in the L, it is said that the حَفَّة of the weaver is the wide piece of wood with which he arranges the woof between [the threads of] the warp: or, as some say, the three canes: and some say that it is ↓ حِفَّةٌ, with kesr: and it is said to be the thing with which the weaver strikes, like a sword: and the ↓ حَفّ is the cane that comes and goes [or goes to and fro; app. meaning the shuttle]: Az says, thus it is with the Arabs: and its pl.
