فرق

1 فَرَقَ بَيْنَ الشَّيْئَيْنِ, (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K, *) aor. ـُ (S, Mgh, O, Msb,) and in one dial. فَرِقَ, (Msb, TA,) inf. n. فَرْغٌ and فُرْقَانٌ, (S, O, Msb, K,) the latter of which has a more intensive signification, (TA,) He made a separation, or a distinction, or difference, (Msb, K, TA,) between the two things, (K, * TA,) or between the parts of the two things: (Msb:) relating alike to objects of sight and to objects of mental perception: (TA:) IAar, by exs. that he mentions, makes it to relate particularly to objects of the mind, such as sayings; and ↓ فرّق, to persons, or material things: (Msb: [and it is stated in the Mgh that the same distinction is mentioned by Az:]) others, however, state that the two verbs are syn.; but that the latter has an intensive signification. (Msb.) It is said in the Kur [v. 28], فَافْرُقْ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَ الْقَوْمِ الفَاسِقِينَ [Therefore decide Thou, or make Thou a distinction, between us and the unrighteous people]: accord. to one reading, فَافْرِقْ. (Msb, TA.) فِيهَا يُفْرَقُ كُلُّ أَمْرٍ حَكِيمٍ, in the Kur [xliv. 3], means [Wherein] is made distinct [every firm decree]: (Lth, TA:) or is decided; (O, K, TA;) thus expl. by Katádeh. (O, TA.) And in the phrase وَقُرآنًا فَرَقْنَاهُ, (S, O, K, TA,) in the same [xvii. 107], (S, O, TA,) by فَرَقْنَاهُ is meant We have made it distinct, (S, O, K, TA,) and rendered it free from defect, (O, K, TA,) and explained the ordinances therein: (TA:) but some read ↓ فَرَّقْنَاهُ, meaning We have sent it down in sundry portions, in a number of days. (S, TA.) وَإِذْ فَرَقْنَا بِكُمُ الْبَحْرَ, (O, K, TA,) in the Kur [ii. 47], (O, TA,) means And when we clave because of you the sea; i. q. فَلَقْنَاهُ: (O, K, TA:) another reading, ↓ فَرَّقْنَا, meaning we divided into several portions, is mentioned by IJ; but this is unusual. (TA.) It is also said that الفَرْقُ is for rectification; and ↓ التَّفْرِيقُ, for vitiation: and IJ says that إِنَّ الَّذِينَ فَرَّقُوا ↓ دِيْنَهُمْ CCC, in the Kur [vi. 160, and the like occurs in xxx. 31], means Verily those who have divided their religion into sundry parts, and dismembered it, and have disagreed respecting it among themselves: but that some read فَرَقُوا دِيْنَهُمْ, without teshdeed, meaning, have severed their religion from the other religions [app. by taking it in part, or parts, therefrom]; or this, he says, may mean the same as the former reading, for sometimes فَعَلَ has the same meaning as فَعَّلَ. (TA.) IJ also says that فَرَقَ لَهُ عَنِ الشَّىْءِ signifies He made the thing distinct, or plain, to him. (TA.) b2: فَرَقَ الشَّعْرَ بِالمُشْطِ, aor. ـُ and فَرِقَ, inf. n. فَرْقٌ, He separated his hair with the comb: and فَرَّقَ ↓ رَأْسَهُ بِالمُشْطِ , inf. n. تَفْرِيقٌ, He separated the hair of his head with the comb. (TA.) [and it is implied in a trad. cited in the O and TA that فَرَقَهُ signifies the same as the latter of the two phrases in the next preceding sentence.]

A2: فَرَقَ لَهُ الطَّرِيقُ, (S, O, K,) inf. n. فُرُوقٌ, (K,) The road presented itself to him divided into two roads: (S, O, K, TA:) or [it means] an affair presented itself, or occurred, to him, and he knew the mode, or manner, thereof: (TA, as from the K: [but not in the CK nor in my MS. copy of the K:]) and hence, in a trad. of I'Ab, فَرَقَ لِى رَأْىٌ An idea, or opinion, appeared [or occurred] to me: (TA:) [or] one says, فَرَقَ لِى هٰذَا الأَمْرُ, inf. n. فُرُوقٌ, This affair became, or has become, distinct, apparent, or manifest, to me: and hence the saying, فَإِنْ لَمْ يُفْرُقْ لِلْإِمَامِ رَأْىٌ [And if an idea, or an opinion, appear not, or occur not, to the Imám]. (Mgh.) b2: فَرَقَتْ said of a she-camel, and of a she-ass, (S, O, K,) aor. ـُ (S, O,) inf. n. فُرُوقٌ, She, being taken with the pains of parturition, went away at random in the land. (S, O, K.) A3: فَرَقَ, (O, K,) aor. ـُ (K,) He voided dung; syn. ذَرَقَ [which is said of a bird, and sometimes of a man]. (O, K. [See also أَفْرَقَ.]) A4: And He possessed a فِرْق [q. v.] (O, K, TA) of sheep or goats: (O, TA:) accord. to the K, of date-stones with which to feed camels: but the former explanation is the right. (TA.) A5: فَرَقَهَا, (K,) inf. n. فَرْقٌ, (TA,) He fed her (i. e. a woman) with فَرِيقَة [q. v.]; as also ↓ افرقها, (K,) inf. n. إِفْرَاقٌ. (TA.) A6: فَفَرَقْتُهُ ↓ فَارَقَنِى, aor. ـُ [He vied with me in fear and] I exceeded him in fear. (Lh, L, TA.) b2: See also 2, last sentence.

A7: فَرِقَ, (S, O, Msb, K,) aor. ـَ (Msb, K,) inf. n. فَرَقٌ, (S, O, Msb,) He feared; or was, or became, in fear, afraid, or frightened. (S, O, Msb, K.) You say, فَرِقْتُ مِنْكَ [I feared thee, or was in fear of thee]: (S, O, Msb: *) but you should not say, فَرِقْتُكَ: (S, O:) Sb [however] mentions فَرِقَهُ, suppressing مِنْ. (TA.) And you say also, فَرِقَ عَلَيْهِ [He feared for him]. (TA.) A8: And فَرِقَ, aor. ـَ He entered into a wave, [which is termed فِرْقٌ,] and dived therein. (K.) A9: And the same verb accord. to the K, but accord. to Sgh [in the O] it seems, from the context to be فَرَقَ, (TA,) He drank (O, K) the measure called فَرَق, (O,) or with the فَرَق. (K, TA.) 2 فرّقهُ, inf. n. تَفْرِيقٌ and تَفْرِقَةٌ, (S, O, K,) He separated it [into several, or many, portions]; disunited it [i. e. a thing, or a collection of things]; or dispersed, or dissipated, it; or did so much [or greatly or widely]; syn. بَدَّدَهُ. (K.) And فرّق بَيْنَ الأَشْيَآءِ [He made, or caused, a separation &c., or much, or a wide, separation, &c., between the things]. (Mgh.) [And فِيهِمْ فرّقهُ and عَلَيْهِمْ He scattered, or distributed, it among them, and to them.] See 1, former half, in five places. It is said in a trad. of 'Omar, فَرِّقُوا عَنِ المَنِيَّةِ وَاجْعَلُوا الرَّأْسَ رَأْسَيْنِ, (Mgh, O, *) meaning Separate ye your cattle by way of preservation from death, [and make the one head two head,] by buying two animals with the price of one, that, when one dies, the second may remain. (Mgh, O.) and it is said in a trad. respecting the poor-rate, لَا يُفَرَّقُ بَيْنَ مُجْتَمِعٍ وَلَا يُجْمَعُ بَيْنَ مُفْتَرِقٍ There shall be no separating what is put together, nor shall there be a putting together what is separate. (TA. [The reason is, that by either of these acts, in the case of cattle, the amount of the poor-rate may be diminished.]) يُفَرِّقُونَ بِهِ بَيْنَ الْمَرْءِ وَزَوْجِهِ [in the Kur ii. 96, meaning Whereby they might dissolve, break up, discompose, derange, disorganize, disorder, or unsettle, the state of union subsisting between the man and his wife, in respect of affairs and of the expression of opinion, or, briefly, whereby they might cause division and dissension between the man and his wife,] is from التَفْرِيقُ as meaning تَشْتِيتُ الشَّمْلِ وَالكَلِمَةِ. (El-Isbahánee, TA.) One says also, فرّق الأَمْرَ, meaning شَتَّتَهُ [i. e. He discomposed, deranged, disorganized, disordered, or unsettled, the state of affairs]. (S in art. شت.) And فرّق عَلَيْنَا الكَلَامَ [lit. He scattered speech (app. meaning he jabbered) at us, or against us]. (K in art. بق: see R. Q. 1 in that art.) In the saying in the Kur [ii. 130 and iii.

78], لَا نُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَ أَحَدٍ مِنْهُمْ [We will not make a distinction between any of them], the verb is allowably made to relate to احد because this word [in negative phrases] imports a pl. meaning. (TA. [See p. 27, 3rd col.]) See, again, 1, near the middle.

A2: فرّقهُ, (O, TA,) inf. n. تَفْرِيقٌ, (O, K, TA,) also signifies He made him to fear, or be afraid; put him in fear; or frightened him: (O, K, * TA:) and مِنْهُ ↓ أَفْرَقْتُهُ I made him to fear, or be afraid of, him, or it: (Msb:) and Lh mentions الصَبِىَّ ↓ فَرَقْتُ as meaning I frightened the boy, or child; but ISd says, I think it to be فَرَّقْتُ. (TA.) 3 فارقهُ, inf. n. مُفَارِقَةٌ and فِرَاقٌ, (S, Msb, TA,) He separated himself from him, or it; or left, forsook, or abandoned, him, or it: or he forsook, or abandoned, him, being forsaken, or abandoned, by him: syn. بَايَنَهُ; (TA;) and قَاطَعَهُ, and فَارَزَهُ; (A in art. فرز;) and تَرَكَهُ. (Msb in art. ترك.) And فارق امْرَأَتَهُ He separated himself from his wife. (TA.) b2: فَارَقْتُ فُلَانًا مِنْ حِسَابِى عَلَى كَذَا وَكَذَا I released such a one from my reckoning with him on such and such terms agreed upon by both: and so صَادَرْتُهُ عَلَى كَذَا وَكَذَا. (TA.) And فُورِقَ عَلَى مَالٍ يُؤَدِّيهِ He (an agent) was released from being reckoned with on the condition of his paying certain property for which he became responsible. (TA in art. صدر.) A2: فَارَقَنِى فَفَرَقْتُهُ: see 1, last quarter.4 افرقوا إِبِلَهُمْ They left their camels in the place of pasture, and did not assist them in bringing forth, nor have them got with young. (IAar, O, K.) b2: And افرق غَنَمَهُ He made, or caused, his sheep, or goats, to stray; and neglected them, or caused them to become lost, or to perish. (TA.) b3: And افرق He lost a portion of his sheep or goats. (IKh, TA.) b4: And His sheep, or goats, became a فَرِيقَة [q. v.]. (IKh, TA.) A2: افرق He recovered; (Lth, As, Az, S, O, K;) or recovered, but not completely; (As, O, K;) to which IKh adds, quickly; (TA;) i. e., a sick person from (مِنْ) his sickness; (As, Az, S, O, K;) and one fevered from his fever; (As, S;) and one smitten with the plague: (Lth, TA:) or (K) it is not said except in the case of a disease that does not attack one more than once, as the small-pox, (O, K,) and the measles. (O.) b2: افرقت She (a camel) had a return of some of her milk. (O, K.) A3: افرق said of a man, and of a bird, and of a beast of prey, and of a fox, He voided dung, or thin dung. (Lh, TA. [See also 1, last quarter.]) b2: And افرقهُ He, or it, caused him to void dung; syn. أَذْرَقَهُ. (K. [But I do not find اذرق mentioned except as an intrans. v.]) See also فِرْقَةٌ, last sentence.

A4: افرقها: see 1, last quarter.

A5: أَفْرَقْتُهُ مِنْهُ: see 2, last sentence.5 تفرّق, inf. n. تَفَرَّقٌ (O, K) and تِفِرَّاقٌ, (K, TA,) with two kesrehs, but accord. to the “ Nawádir ” of Lh تَفْرِيقٌ, (TA,) [and in the CK تَفْراق,] It was, or became, separated, or disunited: or separated much, or greatly, or widely, or into several, or many, portions; or dispersed, or dissipated: contr. of تَجَمَّعَ: and ↓ افترق signifies the same: (K, TA:) and so does ↓ انفرق: (TA:) all are quasi-pass. of فَرَّقْتُهُ: (S, * TA:) [or rather the second and third have the former of the meanings mentioned above: and تفرّق has the latter of those meanings:] or ↓ اِفْتَرَقَا is said of two sayings, as quasi-pass. of فَرَقْتُ بَيْنَهُمَا: and تَفَرَّقَا, of two men, as quasi-pass. of فَرَّقْتُ بَيْنَهَمَا: (Mgh, * Msb, TA:) so says IAar: (Msb:) [but] one says also, افترق القَوْمُ [The party, or company of men, became separated; or they separated themselves:] (Msb:) and Esh-Sháfi'ee has used ↓ اِفْتَرَقَا as relating to two persons buying and selling; (Msb, TA;) and so have Ahmad [Ibn-Hambal] and Aboo-Haneefeh and Málik and others. (TA.) It is said in a trad., البَيَّعَانِ بِالخِيَارِ مَا يَتَفَرَّقَا i. e. [The buyer and seller have the option to annul their contract] as long as they have not become separated bodily; (Mgh, Msb;) originally, مَا لَمْ يَتَفَرَّقْ أَبْدَانُهُمَا; for this is the proper meaning. (Msb.) تَفَرَّقَتْ بِهِمُ الطُّرُقُ [properly The roads became separate with them,] means every one of them went one [separate] way. (TA.) [And one says, تفرّقت الأَغْصَانُ (S in art. شذب, &c.,) The branches were, or became, or grew out, apart, one from another; divaricated; diverged; forked; straggled; or spread widely and dispersedly. and تفرّق أَمْرُهُ His affair, or state of affairs, became discomposed, deranged, disorganized, disordered, or unsettled, so that he considered what might be its issues, or results, saying at one time, I will do thus, and at another time, I will do thus: see أَجْمَعَ; and شَتَّ: and ↓ افترق signifies the same: see an ex. voce فَشَا, in art. فشو. And تفرّقت كَلِمَتُهُمْ (K voce شَالَ, in art. شول,) Their expression of opinion was, or became, discordant: and تفرّقت آرَاؤُهُمْ Their opinions were, or became, so.]6 تفارقوا They separated themselves, one from another; or left, forsook, or abandoned, one another. (TA.) 7 انفرق, of which مُنْفَرَقٌ may be an inf. n. [like اِنْفِرَاقٌ], as well as a n. of place, It was, or became, separated, or divided. (O, K.) See also 5.

[Hence,] انفرق الفَجْرُ i. q. اِنْفَلَقَ [The dawn broke]. (TA.) 8 افترق: see 5, first sentence, in three places: and also in the last sentence but one.

فَرْقٌ [is originally an inf. n.: but is often used as a simple subst. meaning A distinction, or difference, between two things. b2: Hence,] The line [or division] in the hair of the head: (K: [see also مَفْرَقٌ:]) or, as some say, the part, of the head, extending from the side of the forehead to the spiral curl upon the crown: an ex. occurs in a verse of Aboo-Dhu-eyb cited voce مَطْرَبٌ. (TA.) b3: [And app. A blaze on a horse's forehead. (See an ex. voce مُعْتَدِلٌ.)] b4: And [hence, perhaps,] one says, بَانَتْ فِى قَذَالِهِ فُرُوقٌ مِنَ الشَّيْبِ i. e. أَوْضَاحٌ [app. meaning There appeared in the back of his head portions of white, or hoary, hair, distinct from the rest]. (TA.) b5: One says also of the female comber and dresser of the hair, تَمْشُِطُ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَرْقًا i. e. [She combs and dresses the hair] with such and such a mode or manner [app. of combing and dressing or of dividing]. (L. [But the last word, which seems to be in this case an inf. n., is there written without any vowel-sign.]) A2: Also A certain bird or flying thing; (طَائِرٌ O, K;) not mentioned by AHát in “ the Book of Birds. ” (O, TA.) A3: And Flax. (K.) A4: See also فَرَقٌ, in nine places.

الفُرْقُ: see الفُرْقَانُ. b2: It also signifies A certain vessel with which one measures. (TA. [See also فَرَقٌ.]) b3: And [it is said that] الفُرْقَانِ signifies قدحان مفترقان [app. meaning Two separate bowls, or milking-vessels, supposing the former word to be قَدَحَانِ; the latter word being مُفْتَرِقَانِ]. (TA.

See also 2 and 8: and see فَأْلٌ.]6 تَفَاَّ^َ see the next preceding paragraph.8 اِفْتِئَالٌ [in my copies of the S written اِفْتِيَال] is of the measure اِفْتِعَالٌ from الفَأْلُ: (S, K, * TA: *) [in the PS and TK, it is said to be syn. with تَفَأُّلٌ: it seems, however, that in the ex. here following, its exact signification, and whether it be used in an act. or a pass. sense, is doubtful; and that it is trans. without a prep.:] El-Kumeyt says, describing horses, إِذَا مَا بدَتْ تَحْتَ الخَوَافِقِ صَدَّقَتْ بِأَيْمَنِ فَأْلِ الزَّاجِرِينَ افْتِئَالُهْا [app. meaning, When they appear beneath the standards, (perhaps standards set up as winningposts,) the regarding them as of good omen, or their being regarded as of good omen, (by reason of their excellent performance,) verifies the happiest augury of the diviners: with respect to its being made fem. in this ex., though not regularly fem. in form, see صَرْفٌ, third sentence]. (S, TA.) b2: [It has also another signification:] Fr says, اِفْتَأَلْتُ الــرَّأْىَ is with hemz which is originally [a letter] other than hemz [app. meaning that the v. is originally اِفْتَيَلْتُ, which becomes changed by rule to اِفْتَلْتُ; and that the signification is the same as that of فَيَّلْتُ الــرَّأْىَ, I declared, or esteemed, the judgment, or opinion, weak; or pronounced it to be bad, and wrong, or erroneous: perhaps the substitution of hemz for the medial radical letter is for the purpose of giving to the phrase a double meaning: or the hemz may be the original letter, and the phrase may be used ironically]. (O, TA.) فَأْلٌ, (T, S, M, O, Msb, K,) and فَالٌ without

ء is allowable, (Msb,) A good omen; (PS;) contr. of طِيَرَةٌ: (T, M, Msb, K:) it is when a man is sick, and he hears another say يَا سَالِمُ [O safe]; or seeking, and hears another say يَا وَاجِدُ [O finder]: (ISk, T, S, O, K: *) or it is when one hears a good saying, and augurs good by it: (Msb:) [therefore] it is said in a trad., كَانَ يُحِبُّ الفَأْلَ وَيَكْرَهُ الطِّيَرَةَ [He (the Prophet) used to like the فأل, and dislike the طِيَرَة]: (T, S, O:) [or it signifies so, and likewise an evil omen: i. e.] it is used in relation to a good saying and to an evil saying, (Az, T, Msb, K,) by some of the Arabs: (T:) it is said in a trad. [of the Prophet], يُعْجِبُنِى الفَأْلُ الصَّالِحُ [The good فأل pleases me]; which shows that there is a sort of فأل that is good and a sort that is not good: (TA:) and [in like manner] طَائِرٌ is applied to that which is good and that which is evil: (K in art. طير:) the pl. is أَفْؤُلٌ [properly a pl. of pauc.], (S, O,) or فُؤُولٌ [a pl. of mult.], (M,) or both: (K:) El-Kumeyt says, وَلَا أَسْأَلُ الطَّيْرَ عَمَّا تَقُولُ وَلَا تَتَخَالَجُنِى الأَفْؤُلُ [And I will not ask the birds respecting what they say, nor shall omens, or good omens, contend with me as though pulling me in different directions]. (S, O.) b2: لَا فَأْلَ عَلَيْكَ means No harm shall befall thee; (T, O, K;) and no evil fortune; and no mischief. (T.) فَئِلُ اللَّحْمِ, (O, K,) or اللَّحْمِ ↓ فَيْأَلُ, (T,) or both, (TA,) A man having much flesh. (T, O, K, TA.) [See also فَيِّلٌ, in art. فيل.]

الفِئَالُ A certain game of the boys (T, S, O, K, TA) of the desert-Arabs, (TA,) with earth, or dust: (T:) they hide a thing in earth, or dust, and then divide it, and say, In which of them (S, O, K, TA) twain (S, O, TA) is it? (S, O, K, TA.) [See also الفَيَالُ, in art. فيل.]

فَيْأَلُ اللَّحْمِ: see فَئِلُ اللَّحْمِ, above.

God,) or it, (a thing,) affected him with disease; or rendered him diseased: and in many similar cases, the phrase may be well rendered with a verb derived from the noun; like phrases in which “ affecit ” (a Latin equivalent of اصاب) occurs; as in “ honore affecit,” meaning “ honoravit. ”] El-Hárith Ibn-Khuld El-Makhzoomee says, رَجُلًا↓أَظُلَيْمُ إِنَّ مُصَابَكُمْ

أَهْدَى السَّلَامَ تَحِيَّةً ظُلْمُ (assumed tropical:) [O Dhuleymeh, verily your afflicting a man who has given the salutation of peace, greeting, is tyranny]: IB says that this verse is not of El-'Arjee, as El-Hareeree imagined it to be: the correct reading is أَظُلَيْمُ, as above: ظليم is an apocopated from of ظُلَيْمَةُ; which is the dim. of ظَلُوم: some read أَظَلُومُ: and some, أَسُلَيْمُ: [the verse is cited accord. to this last reading in the S:] رَجُلًا is governed in the accus. case by مُصَاب [as an inf. n.]: and ظُلْمُ is the enunciative of إِنَّ. (L, TA.) أَصَابَهُمُ الدَّهْرُ بِنُفُوسِهِمْ وَأَمْوَالِهِمْ (assumed tropical:) meansTime, or fate, afflicted them by destruction, or extirpation, among themselves and their cattle, or possessions. (M.) [In the K, الإِصَابةُ is expl. as signifying الاِحْتِيَاجُ: but the right reading is evidently الاِجْتِيَاحُ, as Ibr D has remarked in the margin of my copy of the TA; so that اصاب signifies (assumed tropical:) He destroyed, or extirpated; agreeably with an explanation in the sentence next preceding above, from the M.] مَنْ يُرِدِ اللّٰهُ بِهِ خَيْرًا يُصِبْ مِنْهُ, (assumed tropical:) occurring in a trad., means Him whom God intendeth good He trieth with afflictions, that He may recompense him for them. (TA.) And one says, مَا كُنْتُ مُصَابًا وَلَقَدْ أُصِبْتُ (assumed tropical:) [app. meaning I was not affected with weakness of intellect, or madness, and I have become affected therewith: see مُصَابٌ, below].

(M.) صَوْبٌ an inf. n. used as a subst. (Msb) meaning Rain; (Lth, Msb;) and so ↓ صَيِّبٌ, which is originally [صَيْوِبٌ, i. e.] of the measure فَيْعِلٌ from الصَّوْبُ: (Bd in ii. 18:) or صَيِّبٌ is an epithet applied to clouds (غَيْمٌ, Sh, O, or سَحَابٌ, S, Msb) meaning having rain, (O,) i. q. ذُو صَوْبٍ: (S, Msb:) or صَوْبٌ and ↓ صَيِّبٌ and ↓ صَيُّوبٌ [the last of which is written in the CK صَيُوبٌ] all signify the same, (M, K,) as epithets applied to rain, meaning pouring forth: (M:) or ↓ صَيُّوبٌ, which is originally of the measure فَيْعُولٌ, [being altered from صَيْوُوبٌ,] means rain pouring forth much, or abundantly: (IDrd, O:) [↓ صَائِبٌ, also, is applied as an epithet to rain, like صَوْبٌ and صَيِّبٌ; and] in the phrase صِيبَانُ المَطَرِ, accord. to Abu-l-'Alà, صِيبَان is pl. of صَائِب; or it may be an inf. n., like حِرْمَان: and if one say ↓ صَيْبَان, with fet-h, the meaning is, what has poured forth of rain, notwithstanding the ى in it, for similar to this are رَيْحَان from الرَّوْح and عَيْدَان (meaning “ tall ” palm-trees) from العُوْد. (Ham p. 796.) A2: Also Course, or tendency; syn. قَصْدٌ: so in the saying, to one who is traversing a desert in uncertainty and has declined from the right way, أَقِمْ صَوْبَكَ [Rectify thy course]: and in the phrase فُلَانٌ مُسْتَقِيمُ الصَّوْبِ [Such a one is pursuing the right course], said of a person when he is not declining from his way to the right or left.

خيل

1 خَالَ is syn. with ظَنَّ and تَوَهَّمَ: (TA:) you say, خَالَ الشَّىْءَ, (Msb, K,) first Pers\. خِلْتُ, (JK, S,) aor. ـَ (Msb, K,) first Pers\. إِخَالُ and أَخَالُ, (JK, S, Msb, K, &c.,) the former irregular, (Msb,) but the more chaste of the two, (S,) and the more used, (Msb,) of the dial. of Teiyi, but commonly used by others also, (El-Marzookee, TA,) the latter of the dial. of Benoo-Asad, accord. to rule, (S, Msb,) but of weak authority, (K,) though some assert it to be the more chaste, (TA,) inf. n. خَيْلٌ (S, Msb, K) and خَيْلَةٌ and خِيلٌ (K) and خِيلَةٌ (S, K) and خَالٌ and خَيَلَانٌ, (K, TA, [the last accord. to the CK خَيَلَالٌ,]) or, as in the T [and JK], خِيلَانٌ, (TA,) and خَيْلُولَةٌ and مَخِيلَةٌ (S, K) and مَخَالَةٌ; (K;) and خَالَ الشَّىْءَ, aor. ـِ is a dial. var. thereof; (Msb;) meaning ظَنَّةُ [He thought, or opined, the thing: and sometimes (see I' Ak p. 109) he knew the thing: but it seems to have originally signified توهّم الشىءَ, i. e. he surmised, or fancied, the thing: see خَالٌ, below]. (S, Msb, K.) This verb, being of the class of ظَنَّ, occurs with an inchoative and an enunciative; if commencing the phrase, governing them; but if in the middle or at the end, it may be made to govern or to have no government. (S.) You say, إِخَالُ زَيْدًا أَخَاكَ [and, if you will, زَيْدٌ إِخَالُ أَخُوكَ and زَيْدٌ أَخُوكَ

إِخَالُ, I think Zeyd is thy brother and Zeyd I think is thy brother and Zeyd is thy brother I think]. (JK.) Hence the prov., مَنْ يَسْمَعْ يَخَلْ, (S, TA,) i. e. He who hears the things related of men and of their vices, or faults, will think evil of them: meaning that it is most safe to keep aloof from other men: or, accord. to some, it is said on the occasion of verifying an opinion. (TA.) A2: See also 8.

A3: خال عَلَىالمَالِ, aor. ـِ see خَالَ in art. خول.

A4: خال said of a horse, (JK, K, TA,) aor. ـَ (K,) inf. n. خَالٌ, (JK, K,) He limped, or halted, or was slightly lame. (JK, K. *) 2 تَخْيِيلٌ signifies The imaging a thing in the mind, or fancying it; the forming an image, or a fancied image, thereof in the mind: (TA:) [and ↓ تَخَيُّلٌ has the same, as well as a quasipass., signification.] You say, [↓ خَيَّلْتُهُ فَتَخَيَّلَ لِى and] لِى ↓ فَتَخَيَّلَ ↓ تَخَيَّلْتُهُ [I imaged it in the mind, or fancied it, and it became imaged in the mind to me, or an object of fancy to me]; like as you say, [صَوَّرْتُهُ فَتَصَوَّرَ لِى and] تَصَوَّرْتُهُ فَتَصَوَّرَ لِى: (S:) for ↓ تَخَيُّلٌ [as inf. n. of a quasi-pass. verb] signifies a thing's being imaged in the mind, or fancied: (Er-Rághib, TA:) and الشَّىْءُ لَهُ ↓ تخيّل means تَشَبَّهَ. (K. [And the same is indicated in the Msb.]) You say also, خُيِّلَ لَهُ كَذَا [Such a thing was imaged to him in the mind; i. e. such a thing seemed to him]; from الوَهْمُ and الظَّنُّ: (Msb:) and خُيِّلَ إِلَيْهِ أَنَّهُ كَذَا (S) It was imaged to him [in the mind, i. e. it seemed to him,] that it was so; syn. شُبِّهَ; (PS;) from التَّخْيِيلُ and الوَهْمُ: (S, TA:) and لَهُ أَنَّهُ كَذَا ↓ تَخَيَّلَ signifies [in like manner it became imaged &c.; i. e.]

تَشَبَّهَ; as also ↓ تخايل: (S:) and so the first of these three verbs is used in the Kur xx. 69. (TA.) And فُلَانٌ يَمْضِى عَلَى مَا خَيَّلَتْ, (JK and S in explanation of the phrase فُلَانٌ يَمْضِى

↓ عَلَىالمُخَيَّلِ,) i. e. شَبَّهَتْ [Such a one goes on, notwithstanding what (the mind, or the case,) may image to him, or what is fancied by him, of danger of difficulty; النَّفْسُ, or الحَالُ, accord. to Z, (see Freytag's Arab. Prov. ii. 94,) being understood]; meaning, notwithstanding peril, or risk; without any certain knowledge. (S.) Whence the prov., عَلَىمَا خُيِّلَتْ وَعْثُ القَصِيمِ i. e. I will go on, notwithstanding what the soft tracts abounding in sand in which the feet sink may be imagined to be: [or the right reading is probably خَيَّلَتْ, i. e. notwithstanding what the soft tracts &c. may image to the mind, of danger or difficulty:] the ت in خيّلت relates to the word وعث, which is [regarded as] pl. of وَعْثَةٌ; and على is a connective of a suppressed verb, namely, أَمْضِى, with what follows it: the meaning is, I will assuredly venture upon the affair, notwithstanding its terribleness. (Meyd.) And اِفْعَلْ ذٰلِكَ عَلَى مَا خَيَّلَتْ, i. e. عَلَى مَا شَبَّهَتْ [Do thou that, notwithstanding what (the mind, or the case, as explained above,) may image to thee, of danger or difficulty]; (JK;) meaning, in any case. (TA.) b2: [Hence,] خيّل لِلنَّاقَةِ, and ↓ أَخْيَلَ, He put a خَيَال [q. v.] near the she-camel's young one, in order that the wolf might be scared away from him, (JK, * S, K, *) and not approach him. (JK, S.) b3: And خيّل فِيهِ الخَيْرَ He perceived, or discovered, in him an indication, or external sign, of good; as also ↓ تخيّلهُ (K, TA) and تخوّلهُ: (TA: [see also 4 in art. خول:]) or you say, عَلَيْهِ ↓ تَخَيَّلَتْ, (T, S, TA,) meaning I knew him; or knew his internal, or real, state; (تَخَبَّرْتُهُ, T, TA;) or I chose him; (اِخْتَرْتُهُ, S, TA;) and perceived, or discovered, in him an indication, or external sign, of good. (T, S, TA.) b4: And خيّل عَلَيْهِ, (S, Msb, K,) inf.n. تَخْيِيلٌ (Msb, K) and ↓ تَخَيُّلٌ, (K,) [the latter anomalous, being properly inf. n. of تَخَيَّلَ,] He conveyed doubt, or suspicion, (التُّهْمَةَ, S, K, or الوَهْمَ, Msb,) to him; so in the M, on the authority of Az; (TA;) i. q. لَبَّسَ عَلَيْهِ [he made (a thing, or case) dubious to him]. (Msb.) b5: And خيّلت عَلَيْنَا السَّمَآءُ The sky thundered and lightened [over us], and prepared to rain: but when the rain has fallen, the term ↓ تَخَيُّلٌ [so in my two copies of the S, app. used as an inf. n. of the verb in this phrase, as in a case above, or perhaps a mistranscription for تَخْيِيلٌ, though it will be seen from what follows that خيّلت and تخيّلت are both said of the sky in the same sense,] is not used: (S:) or خيّلت السَّمَآءُ signifies the sky became clouded, but did not rain; (JK, and Har p. 36;) as also ↓ اخالت and ↓ تخيّلت and ↓ خايلت: (Har ibid.:) or, as also ↓ تخيّلت (Msb, K) and ↓ اخالت, (Msb,) or ↓ أَخْيَلَت, (K,) the sky prepared to rain, (Msb, K, TA,) and thundered and lightened, but did not yet rain: (TA:) or, accord. to Az, ↓ اخالت السَّمَآءُ signifies the sky became clouded: (Msb, TA:) and السَّمَآءُ ↓ تخيّلت the sky became clouded, and prepared to rain. (S.) [In like manner,] one says also, السَّحَابُ ↓ اخالت and ↓ أَخْيَلَت and ↓ خايلت The clouds gave hope of rain: (S:) or السَّحَابَةُ ↓ اخالت the cloud showed signs of rain, so that it was thought [or expected] to rain. (Msb.) A2: خيّل also signifies, (JK, TA,) or ↓ تخيّل, (Ham p. 39,) [or each of these,] He (a man) was cowardly, or weak-hearted, on the occasion of fight, (JK, TA, and Ham,) and did not act, or proceed, firmly, or steadily. (Ham.) And خيّل عَنِ القَوْمِ and ↓ أَخْيَلَ, [but the former only is explained in this sense in the TA,] He held back from the people, or party, through cowardice: (K, TA:) so says Az, on the authority of' Arrám. (TA.) 3 خايلهُ, (JK, TA,) inf. n. مُخَايَلَةٌ, (S, K,) He vied with him, rivalled him, or imitated him, (JK, S, * K, * TA,) in pride and self-conceit; (JK;) did as he did. (TA.) b2: خايلت السَّمَآءُ, and السَّحَابُ: see 2, in the latter part of the paragraph.4 اخال It (a thing) was, or became, dubious, or confused, or vague, (JK, S, Mgh, Msb, TA,) عَلَيْهِ to him. (JK, Mgh.) One says, هٰذَا أَمْرٌ لَا يُخِيلُ [This is a thing, or an affair, or a case, that will not be dubious, &c.]. (S.) And لَا يُخِيلُ ذَاكَ عَلَى أَحَدٍ That will not be dubious, &c., to any one. (JK.) b2: اخال الشَّىْءُ إِلَى الخَيْرِ, and المَكْرُوهِ, The thing exhibited an indication, or indications, of good, and of evil, or what was disliked or hated. (Msb.) [Hence,] اخالت السَّمَآءُ, and أَخْيَلَت: see 2, in the latter part of the paragraph, in four places. And اخالت السَّحَابُ and أَخْيَلَت, or اخالت السَّحَابَةُ: see, again, 2, in the latter part of the paragraph, in three places. b3: And hence, in the opinion of ISd, the she-camel in this case being likened to clouds [giving hope, or showing signs, of rain], (TA,) اخالت النَّاقَةُ (tropical:) The she-camel had milk in her udder, (JK, K, TA,) and was in good condition of body. (JK, TA.) b4: اخالت الأَرْضُ بِالنَّبَاتِ, (K,) or, as in the M, ↓ اختالت, (TA,) (tropical:) The land became adorned, or embellished, with plants, or herbage. (K, TA. [See also 5.]) A2: اخال فِيهِ خَالًا مِنَ الخَيْرِ: see 4 in art. خول; and see خَالٌ, below. b2: أَخْيَلْنَا and أَخَلْنَا We watched, or observed, or looked at, a cloud which it was thought would rain, to see where it would rain. (K, * TA.) And أَخَلْتُ السَّحَابَةُ and أَخْيَلْتُهَا I saw the cloud to be such as gave hope of rain. (S. [See also 10.]) A3: أَخْيَلَ لِلنَّاقَةِ: see 2, in the middle of the paragraph.

See also 4, where a similar meaning is assigned to اخالت or اختالت.]) b6: تَخَيُّلٌ also signifies The being, or becoming, of various colours.

[See also 4, last sentence but two.]) خَالٌ i. q. ظَنٌّ and تَوَهُّمٌ [meaning Thought, or opinion: and surmise, or fancy: though تَوَهُّمٌ is often explained as syn. with ظَنٌّ]: (K:) an inf. n. of 1 [q. v.].

(S.) b2: [In philosophy it signifies] A faculty that retains what the fancy perceives of the forms of objects of sense after the substance has become absent, so that the fancy beholds them whenever it turns towards them: thus it is the store-house of the fancy: its place is the hinder part of the first venter of [the three which are comprised by] the brain.

(K, * TA. [See also 4.]) 4 اصحر, (S, A, Mgh, K,) or اصحر الصَّحْرَآءَ, (Msb, [but I think that this is a mistake for اصحر إِلَى الصَّحْرَآءِ,]) inf. n. إِصْحَارٌ, (Msb,) He went forth to the صحرآء [or desert, &c.], (S, A, Mgh,) or into the صحرآء: (Msb, K:) تصحّر [in this sense] has not been heard. (Mgh.) b2: Hence, in a trad., the saying of Umm-Selemeh to 'Áïsheh, سَكَّنَ اللّٰهُ عُقَيْرَاكِ فَلَا تُصْحِرِيهَا [app. meaning, accord. to explanations of it in the TA in art. عقر, God hath made thy dwelling and estate, or, as Z explains it, thy person (نَفْسَكِ), to be quietly settled, therefore do not thou remove it forth to the desert]; i. e. لَا تُبْرِزِيهَا إِلَى الصَّحْرَآءِ; the verb, accord. to IAth, being made trans. by the suppression of the prep.; [i. e. تُصْحِرِيهَا being for تُصْحِرِى بِهَا;] for it is [properly] intrans. (TA. [See also the next sentence but one, in which the verb is tropically made trans.]) b3: أَصْحِرْ لِعَدُوِّكَ means (assumed tropical:) Be thou in a state of clearness [or certainty] with respect to the case of thy enemy: (JM, TA:) occurring in a trad. of 'Alee.

لَقِيتُةُ صَحْرَةَ بَحْرَةَ, in which the two nouns are imperfectly decl., (S, L,) being regarded as one, (L,) and صَحْرَةً بَحْرَةً, (K in art. بحر,) and بُحْرَةَ ↓ صُحْرَةَ, with damm, (O,) and صُحْرَةً بُحْرَةً, (MF in art. بحر,) and صَحْرَةً بَحْرَةً نَحْرَةً, (O, K,) and صَحْرَةَ بَحْرَةَ نَحْرَةَ, (K, [but this last is implicitly disallowed in the O, and expressly by MF in art. بحر,]) and with damm also in all these words, [i. e. صُحْرَة &c.,] (K,) I met him openly, or in open view, nothing intervening to conceal him. (S, L, K. [See also بَحْرَةٌ; and see صَرْحَةٌ.]) And one says likewise, أَخْبَرَهُ بِالأَمْرِ صحرة بحرة [He acquainted him with the affair, or case, openly]. (TA.) صُحْرَةٌ (S, K, in the CK, صُحَرَةٌ [which is a mistake,]) and ↓ صَحَرٌ (K [in some copies of the K صَحْرٌ, which, as observed in the TA, is wrong,]) A colour in which is [the kind of red termed]

شُقْرَةٌ: (S:) or a colour nearly the same as [the kind of red termed] صُبْهَةٌ: (K:) or the latter, (TA, [and app. the former also,]) a dust-colour with a slight redness, (in the K, in حُمْرَة خَفِيَّة, the latter of these two words is a mistake for خَفِيفَة, TA,) inclining to a little whiteness: (K, TA:) or the former, redness inclining to dustcolour: (TA:) or dust-colour with redness: (A:) and [redness of the kind termed] شُقْرَة in the head: (As, TA:) and both words, a colour in which is whiteness and redness: (TA:) and whiteness overspreading blackness; like سُحْرَةٌ and سَحَرٌ: (TA in art. سحر:) and the latter, accord. to Sgh, whiteness. (TA.) A2: Also, both words, The quality of a صَحْرَآء [q. v.].

(TA.) b3: See also صَحْرَة.

صَحْرَآءُ, imperfectly decl., (S, K,) though not an epithet; (S;) or it is an epithet in which the quality of a subst. predominates; (TA;) and is imperfectly decl. because it is of the fem. gender, (S,) and because the letter characteristic of the fem. gender [namely the long ا] is inseparable from it, (S, K,) A desert; a waste; syn. بَرِّيَّةٌ: (S, Msb:) or a tract of land like the back of a beast, bare, or destitute of herbage, without trees and without hills and without mountains; smooth [throughout]: (ISh:) or a plain, or level tract of land, with smoothness and ruggedness, (A, K,) less [rugged] than what is termed قُفّ: (K:) or a spacious tract of ground in which is no herbage: (M, A, K:) or the most plain and even of land, whether it have produced herbage or not, not having any mountain or hill near it; as also جَهَادٌ: (ISh, TA in art. جهد:) you say صَحْرَآءُ وَاسِعَةٌ [a wide desert &c.]; (S;) but you do not say صَحْرَآءَةٌ, adding one fem. sign after another: (S, Msb:) the pls. are صَحَارِىُّ (S, Msb, K) and صَحَارٍ (S, M, Msb) [in the K, صَحَارِى, which, without the art. ال, and except when it is prefixed to another noun, and in a case of pausing, is a manifest mistake, as is shown in every complete treatise on inflection,] and صَحَارَى (S, Msb, K) and صَحْرَاوَاتٌ: (S, K:) the first of which four pls. occurs in poetry, and is the original form of the second: for when you form the pl. of صَحْرَآءُ, [which is originally صَحْرَاا,] you introduce an ا between the ح and the ر, and give kesr to the ر as in all similar cases: then the first ا which is after the ر [in صحراا] is changed into ى, because of the kesreh preceding it; and the second ا, which is the characteristic of the fem. gender, is also changed into ى, and incorporated into the former: then they reject the first ى, and change the second into ا, [though still writing it ى,] and say صَحَارَى, with fet-h to the ر, that the ا may not be elided in the case of tenween, [which the word would have if the ر were with kesr]; and this they do to distinguish between the ى that is changed from the ا which is a characteristic of the fem. gender and the ى that is changed from the ا which is not a characteristic of the fem. gender as the ا of مَرْمًى when they say مَرَامٍ: some of the Arabs, however, do not reject the first ى [in صَحَارِىُّ], but reject the second ى, and say الصَّحَارِى, with kesr to the ر, and هٰذِهِ صَحَارٍ, like as you say جَوَارٍ (S. [In the Ham, p. 54, صُحَرٌ is mentioned as a pl. of صَحْرَآءُ; but I think it doubtful.]) صُحَارٌ The sweat of horses: (O, K:) or the fever of horses. (K.) [b2: See also 1.]

صَحُورٌ: see أَصْحَرُ.

صَحِيرٌ A certain uttering of the voice of the ass, (A, K,) of a vehement kind, (A,) more vehement than the neighing of horses: an inf. n. (TA. [See 1.]) صَحِيرَةٌ Milk into which heated stones are thrown, so that it boils, after which some clarified butter is poured upon it, and it is drunk; and sometimes some flour is sprinkled upon it, and then it is supped: or, accord. to Abu-l-Gheyth, it is called صَخِيرَةٌ, from الصَّخْرُ; like فَهِيرَةٌ, from الفِهْرُ: (S:) or fresh milk into which heated stones are thrown, or which is put in the cooking-pot and made to boil in it once, until it burns; and sometimes flour is put into it, and sometimes clarified butter: (TA:) or fresh milk which is made to boil, after which some clarified butter is poured upon it, (K,) and it is drunk: (TA:) or fresh milk which is heated until it burns: (A:) or pure milk of camels, or of sheep, or of goats, which, when they want soup, and have not flour, it not being found in their land, they cook, and then give to drink to a sick person, hot.
