(K.) ثِقَالُ النَّاسِ [expressly said in the TA to be with kesr, but in the CK, erroneously, ثُقال,] and ثُقَلَآءُ الناس mean (assumed tropical:) Those men whose company is disliked; (K;) whom others deem heavy: each is pl. of ثَقِيلٌ. (TA.) One says, أَنْتَ ثَقِيلٌ عَلَى جُلَسَائِكَ (assumed tropical:) [Thou art heavy, or dull, or unwelcome, to thy companions with whom thou sittest]. (TA.)

أ1 وَبِئَتِ الأَرْضُ, (S, K,) aor. ـب (K, TA,) or ـْ (CK,) and تَوْبَأُ, (accord. to the K: in the (S and) L and other lexicons, only this last aor. is mentioned; but it is asserted on the authority of Az, who says that this form of the pret. is of the dial. of the Kusheyrees, that the aor. is تِيبَا, with kesr to the ت, [contr. to analogy,] TA,) inf. n. وَبَأٌ; (K;) or وَبَآءَةٌ; (S;) and وَبِيَت, aor. ـْ and تَوْبَا; (Moo'ab and Jámi') and وَبُؤَت, inf. n. وَبَآءٌ and وَبَآءَةٌ and أَبَآ and أَبَآةٌ (K, the و being changed into أ in the latter two); and with و without وَبُاَ, [i. e., وَبُوَت]; (Moo'ab and Jámi'] and وُبِئَت, (S, K,) like عُنِىَ, [i. e., pass. in form, but neut. in signification,] (K,) aor. ـب (L and other lexicons,) in which, the و being changed into ى, the vowel of the first letter necessarily becomes kesr, (TA,) or تُوبَأُ, (S,) inf. n. وَبْءٌ, (K, TA: in the CK وَبَأٌ,) or وَبَآءٌ; (S, L, &c.;) and ↓ أَوْبَأَت, (S, K,) inf. n. إِيبَآءٌ; (TA;) The land was, or became, afflicted with وَبَأ: (K:) or, much afflicted with disease. (S.) A2: وَبَأَ, aor. ـْ (K; contr. to rule, which requires that the aor. should be يَبَا; MF;) and ↓ وبّأ; He put the utensils, or goods, one upon another; or packed them up: or he prepared, set in order, or arranged, them; syn. عَبَأَ. (K.) A3: وَبَأَ إِلَيْهِ; (S, K: Ibn-El-Mukarram says, I think that Th has mentioned وَبَأْتُ, without tesh-deed; but I am not confident of it; TA;) and ↓ اوبأ, inf. n. إِيْبَآءٌ; (S, K;) dial. vars. of وَمَأَ and أَوْمَأَ; (S;) He made a sign to him: (S, K:) or اوبأ اليه signifies he made a sign to him with his fingers, forwards, that he should approach; and اومأ اليه “ he made a sign to him with his fingers, backwards, that he should retire, or remain behind. ” So accord. to the K; but this is at variance with what the leading lexicographers have transmitted. In the L it is said, وبأ اليه and اوبأ are dial. syns. of ومأ and اومأ he made a sign to him: or, accord. to some, اومأ اليه signifies “ he made a sign with his hand to him, (i. e., to a person before him,) turning his fingers towards the palm of his hand, in order that he should approach him; ” [in doing which, the palm of the hand is held towards the person beckoned;] and ↓ اوبا أليه he made a sign to him; (i. e., to a person behind him,) opening his fingers [from the palm] towards the back of the hand, in order that he should retire, or remain behind; [in doing which, the palm of his hand is towards himself]. El-Ferezdak says, تَرَى النَّاسَ إِنْ سِرْنَا يَسِيرُونَ خَلْفَنَا النَّاسِ وَقَّفُوا ↓ وَإِنْ نَحْنُ وَبَّأْنَا إِلَى

[If we journey on, thou seest the people journey on behind us; and if we make a sign to the people to remain behind, they stop, one after another]. ↓ أَوْبَأْنَا is also read in this verse for وَبَّأْنَا. Ibn-Buzruj says, that اومأ signifies “ he made a sign with the eyebrows, and the eyes; ” and ↓ وبّأ, he made a sign with the hands, and a garment, and the head. (TA.) b2: وَبَأَتْ إِلَيْهِ, aor. ـَ She (a camel) yearned towards it [i. e., towards her young one]; or uttered to it the cry produced by yearning: syn. حَنَّتْ. (K.) 2 وَبَّاَ see 1.4 اوبأ It became unwholesome: syn. صَارَ وَبِيْأً. (TA.) A2: See 1.

(TA.) Accord. to Ibn-En-Nefees, it is a corruption happening to the substance of the air, by reason of causes in the heavens or the earth; as stinking water, and carcases, such as are the result of bloody battles. Accord. to the hakeem Dá-ood, it is a change effected in the air by events in the higher regions, as the conjunction of beaming stars; and by events in the lower regions, as bloody battles, and the opening of graves, and the ascending of putrid exhalations; with which causes conspire the changes of the seasons and elements, and the revolutions of the universe. They mention also its signs; among which are fever, small-pox, defluxions, itch or scab, tumours, &c. What is said in the Nuzheh necessarily implies that the طاعون is one of the different kinds of وبا; as the physicians hold to be the case: but the opinion which the critics among the professors of practical law and the relaters of traditions hold is, that these two diseases are distinct, the one from the other; the وبا being an unwholesomeness in the air, in consequence of which diseases become common among men; and the طاعون being that kind [of disease] with which men are smitten by the jinn, or genii: an opinion which they corroborate by the words in a trad. إِنَّهُ وَحْزُ أَعْدَائِكُمْ مِنَ الجِنِّ [Verily it is the unpenetrating thrusting of your enemies among the jinn]. (TA.) The pl. of وَبَأٌ is أَوْبَآءُ; and of ↓ أَوْبِيَةٌ, وَبَآءٌ (S, K, TA) or أَوْبِئَةٌ. (CK.) بِئَةٌ The state of a land being afflicted with وَبَأ. (K.) أَرْضٌ وَبِئَةٌ, and ↓ وَبِيْئَةٌ, (S, K,) and ↓ مَوْبُوْءَةٌ, (S, L,) and مُوبِئَةٌ, (S, K,) a land much, or often, afflicted with وَبَأ: (K:) or, much afflicted with disease. (S.) وَبَاءٌ: see وَبَأٌ.

وَبِىْءٌ Sick; unwell; (IAar:) See أرْضٌ وَبِئَةٌ. b2: وَبِىْءٌ Unwholesome water. (TA.) مُوبِئٌ Engendering وَبَأ. (TA.) b2: جُرْعَةَ شَرُوبٍ

أَنْفَعُ مِنْ عَذْبٍ مُوبٍ A draught of brackish water is more profitable than sweet water that engenders وَبَأ. (A trad.) Here the وَبُاَ is omitted in the last word to assimilate it to شروب. It is a proverb, applied to two men; one, superior in station, and more slim; the other, inferior in station, but more useful.

أ1 وَطِئَ, aor. ـَ (S, K;) the و, falls out from the aor. of this verb, and from that of وَسِعَ, because they are transitive; for other verbs of the class فَعِلَ, having the aor. of the measure يَفْعَلُ, and the first radical letter infirm, are intransitive; and as these two differ from their class in being transitive, they are also made to differ in the aor. ; (S;) or يَطَأُ was originally يَطِئُ, and therefore the و, falls out from it; (TA;) inf. n. وَطْءٌ, (TA) [and طِئَةٌ, q.v. infra]; and ↓ وطّأ, (K, but this has an intensive signification, MF;) and ↓ توطّأ (S, K) He trod; trod upon; (بِرِجْلِهِ with his foot; S) trod under foot; trampled upon: (S, K, TA:) or وَطِئَهُ signifies he pressed, or bore, upon him, or it, with his hand or his foot. (TA, in art. ثطأ.) [See also وَطْأَةٌ.] b2: طه, at the commencement of the 20th ch. of the Kur, is read by some طَهْ, and said to be for طَأْ, (the ه being substituted for ء,) and to signify Tread upon the ground with the soles of both thy fect; because Mohammad raised one of his feet in prayer. (TA.) b3: هُمْ يَطَؤُهُمُ الطَّرِيقُ (tropical:) They (i. e. the sons of such a one) sojourn, or encamp, near the road, so that its passengers tread upon them [i. e., became their guests]: (Sb, K:) a tropical phrase, in which الطريق is put for أَهْلُ الطَّرِيقِ; this being done to give greater force to the phrase, as it is one expressive of praise; for the road is a thing that is constant; whereas its passengers are sometimes upon it, and sometimes absent. (L.) [It means They are a people who take up their abode near the road in order that many passengers may enjoy their hospitality.]

b4: [See also طَرِيقٌ.] b5: Of the same kind is the phrase أَخَذْنَا عَلَى الطَّرِيقِ الوَاطِئِ لِبَنِى فُلَانٍ (tropical:) [We look to the road whose passengers tread on (i. e., make themselves the guests of,) the sons of such a one]. (IJ.) b6: So too, مَرَرْنَا بِقَوْمٍ

مَوْطُوئِينَ بِالطَّرِيقِ (tropical:) [We passed by a people trod on (i. e., resorted to for their hospitality,) by the passengers of the road]. (IJ.) b7: Also, يَا طَرِيقُ طَأْ بِنَا بَنِى فُلَانٍ (tropical:) O road, bring us near to [or, lit., make us to tread on, i. e., make us the guests of,] the sons of such a one ! (IJ.) b8: وَطِئَ, (S, K,) aor. as above, (S,) Inivit feminam. (S, K.) b9: وَطَأَ, inf. n. طِئَةٌ, (assumed tropical:) He trod under foot, and despised. Ex. نَعُوذُ بِاللّٰهِ مِنْ طِئَةِ الذَّلِيلِ We put our trust in God for protection from the vile person's treading us under foot, and despising us. (Lh.) b10: وَطَأَ and ↓ وطّأ (in MF's copy of the K واطأ) He prepared, and made plain, smooth, or soft. (K.) b11: وَطَيْتُ; for وَطَأْتُ, is disallowed. (TA.) b12: وَطُؤَ, aor. ـْ inf. n. وطأ, [so in the TA: probably a mistake for وَطَآءَةٌ: see طِئَةٌ below:] He (a horse &c.) was, or became, easy to ride upon. (TA.) b13: وَطُؤَ, aor. ـْ inf. n. وَطَآءَةٌ (S, K) and وُطُوْءَةٌ (TA) and طَأَةٌ (TA, as from the K) [and, app., طِئَةٌ, q.v. infra], It (a place, S) was plain, level, smooth, soft, or easy to be travelled, or to walk, or ride or lie upon. (S, K, TA.) A2: كُنْتُ أَطَأُ ذِكْرَهُ (assumed tropical:) I used to conceal the mention of him, or it. (TA, from a trad.) 2 وَطَّاَ See 1, in two places. b2: وطّأ, inf. n. تُوْطِئَةٌ, He made plain, level, smooth, soft, or easy to be, travelled, or to walk or ride or lie upon. (S, K.) He made a beast of carriage easy to ride upon; trained, or broke, it (M, voce رَاضَ.) b3: Also, (TA,) and ↓ توطّأ, (L,) He prepared (L, ubi supra, and TA,) a bed, or a chamber. (TA.) b4: He arranged, or facilitated, an affair. (TA.) وَطَّيْتُ [for وَطَّأْتُ] is disallowed. (S.) b5: وطّأ He (i. e. God) rendered a land plain, level, smooth, soft, or easy to walk or ride or lie upon. (TA.) b6: Also, He (God,) rendered a land depressed. (K.) A2: See 4.3 وَاطَأَهُ عَلَى أَمْرٍ, (Az, S, K,) inf. n. مُوَاطَأَةٌ (S) and وِطَآءٌ; (TA;) and ↓ تواطأهُ and ↓ توطّأهُ; (K;) (tropical:) He agreed, or concurred, with him respecting a thing. (S, K.) The radical signification of واطأ is said to be He trod in the footsteps of another: and the signification of agreement is therefore figurative. (MF.) b2: فُلَانٌ يُوَاطِئُ اسْمُهُ اسْمِى (tropical:) [Such a one's name agrees, or is the same, with mine]. (S.) b3: لِيُوَاطِئُوا عِدَّةَ مَا حَرَّمَ اللّٰه (tropical:) [That they may agree in the number of (the mouths) which God hath made sacred: Kur, ix. 37]. (S.) b4: أَشَدُّ وِطَآءٌ, as some read, [in the Kur, lxxiii. 6,] signifies (tropical:) More, or most, suitable; (S;) [i. e., prayer, and the recitation of the Kur-án]: but some read وَطْأً, in the sense of قِيَامًا: see نَاشِئَةٌ. (S, L.) See 4.4 اوطأهُ غَيْرَهُ He made another to tread, or trample, upon him. (TA.) b2: اوطأه فَرَسَهُ He made his horse to tread, or trample, upon him. (K, TA.) b3: اوطأهُ الأرضَ He made him to tread upon the ground. (Msb.) b4: أَوْطَؤُوهُمْ (assumed tropical:) They overcame them, or prevailed over them, in a contention, or dispute. (TA.) b5: In a trad. it is said, that the pastors of the camels, and the shepherds, boasted, one party over the other, and the former overcame the latter (اوطؤوهم). (TA.) The verb is used in this sense because it originally signifies, with the annexed pronoun, they made (others) to tread, or trample, upon them: (K, TA:) for him with whom you wrestle or fight, and whom you throw down, you trample upon, and make to be trampled upon by others. (TA.) b6: اوطأهُ العَشْوَةَ, (K,) and عَشْوَةً, (S, K,) He made him to pursue a course without being rightly directed. (K *, TA.) See art. عشو. b7: اوطأ فِى الشِّعْرِ, (S, K,) inf. n. إِيطّآءٌ; (TA;) and اوطأ الشِّعْرَ, and فِيهِ ↓ واطأ, and ↓ وطّأهُ, and أَطَّأَهُ, and آطَأَهُ, (K,) in which last the و is changed into ا; (TA;) He repeated a rhyme in a poem, (S, K,) using the same word in the same sense: (Akh, K:) when the word is the same, but the meaning different, the repetition is not called ايطاء [but جِنَاسٌ تَامٌّ]. (TA.) This repetition (ايطاء) is deemed by Arabs a fault: or it is only deemed a fault if it occur two, or three, or more, times. (TA.) 5 تَوَطَّاَ See 1, 2, 3. b2: تَوَطَّيْتُ for تَوَطَّأْتُ is incorrect. (S.) b3: توطّأ He, or it, was, or became, prepared. (K.) [See also 8.]6 تَوَاطَؤُوا (assumed tropical:) They agreed together. (S.) b2: تواطؤوا عَلَيه (assumed tropical:) They agreed together, or concurred, respecting it. (TA.) [See 3.]8 إِتَّطَأَ It was prepared, and became plain, smooth, or soft. (K.) [See also 5.] b2: إِتَّطَأَ العِشَآءُ (in a trad.) The evening became completely dark: [or the period of nightfall fully came:] also read إِيتَطَى, accord. to the dial. of the tribe of Keys, and explained as signifying the period of nightfall came. The latter verb also signifies “ concurrence, or concord, and agreement, with another. ” (TA.) b3: إِيتَطَأَ الشَّهْرُ [About half the month has elapsed]. This is said a day before the half, and a day after the half. (Az.) b4: إِتَّطَأَ, (as in the CK,) or إِيتَطَأَ, (as in a MS. copy of the K,) measure إِفْتَعَلَ [in the TA written إِسْتَطَأَ, which is doubtless a mistake,] It was right, and attained its full period; was perfect, or complete. (K.) 10 استوطأ He found, or deemed, a thing plain, level, smooth, soft, or easy to walk or ride or lie upon. (K, TA.) b2: He found, or deemed, the thing on which he rode smooth, soft, or easy to ride upon. (S.) وَطْءٌ and ↓ وَطَآءٌ and ↓ مِيطَأٌ (measure مِفْعَلٌ, as shown in the TA; but in the CK, ميطَآءٌ;) Depressed land, or low ground, between eminences نِشَاز [in the CK نَشاز] and أَشْرَاف [in the CK إِشْراف]): (K:) نشاز, is pl. of نَشَزٌ, and اشراف is pl. of شَرَفٌ; and both signify “ eminences. ” (TA.) طَأَةٌ: see طِئَةٌ.

طِئَةٌ and ↓ طَأَةٌ (in both of which the final ة is a substitute for the incipient و, S) and ↓ وَطَآءَةٌ (S, K) and ↓ وُطُوءَةٌ (K) Plainness, levelness, smoothness, softness, or state of being easy to walk or ride or lie upon.

1 وَسَطَ القَوْمَ, aor. ـِ inf. n. وَسْطٌ (S, Msb, K) [and وُسُوطٌ (as shown below)] and سِطَةٌ, (S, K,) He sat, [or was, or became,] in the middle, or midst, of the people, or company of men; (K;) or among them: (TA;) i. q. ↓ توسّطهُمْ; (S, K;) or بَيْنَهُمْ ↓ توسّط: (Msb:) and in like manner, وَسَطَ المَكَانَ [he was, or became, or sat, in the middle, or midst, of the place]: (Msb:) and وَسَطَ الشَّىْءَ, and ↓ وسّطهُ, and ↓ توسّطهُ, he was, or became, in the middle, or midst, of the thing: and [in like manner] وُسُوطُ الشَّمْسِ signifies السَّمَآءَ ↓ تَوَسُّطُهَا [The sun's being, or becoming, in the middle, or midst, of the sky]. (M.) b2: وَسَطَ الشَّىْءَ also signifies He, or it, was, or became, in the best part of the thing, most remote from the two extremes. (TA.) And وَسَطَهُ He alighted, or took up his abode, in, or among, the best, or most generous, thereof. (M.) and وَسَطَ الرَّجُلُ قَوْمَهُ, and فِى قَوْمِهِ, inf. n. وَسَاطَةٌ, The man occupied, or held, a middle place, [meaning the best place, or one of the best places,] among his people, in respect of truth and equity. (Msb.) And وَسَطَ قَوْمَهُ فِى الحَسَبِ, aor. ـِ inf. n. سِطَةٌ, [He held a middle, or good, or the best, rank among his people in regard of grounds of pretension to respect.] (M.) And وَسُطَ فِى

حَسَبِهِ, [aor. ـْ inf. n. وَسَاطَةٌ and سِطَةٌ, [He held a middle, or good, or the best, rank in regard of his grounds of pretension to respect;] (M, TA;) and وَسَطَ signifies the same; (M;) and so does ↓ وسّط, (M, TA,) inf. n. تَوْسِيطٌ. (TA.) [See وَسَطٌ, below.]2 وسّطهُ, (K,) inf. n. تَوْسِيطٌ, (S, K,) He put it in the middle, or midst. (S, K.) b2: And [so in the S, but in the K “ or,”] He cut it [in the middle, or midst, i. e.] in two halves. (S, K.) [See the pass. part. n., below.] b3: [In the Kur, c. 5,] some read, فَوَسَّطْنَ بِهِ جَمْعًا [which may mean And have put in the midst, thereby, a company of the enemy: or have divided in two halves, thereby, &c.: or have thereby become in the midst of a company of the enemy]: (S, TA:) others read فَوَسَطْنَ. (TA.) See 1, first sentence. b4: وسّط فى حَسَبِهِ: see 1, last sentence.5 تَوَسَّطَ see 1, first sentence, in four places. b2: توسّط بَيْنَ النَّاسِ He mediated, or interceded, between the men, or people, for the purpose of accommodation; from وَسَطَ الرَّجُلُ قَوْمَهُ and فِى

قَوْمِهِ, explained above; (Msb;) or from وَسَاطَةٌ; (S;) he made mediation, or intercession, (عَمِلَ الوَسَاطَةَ,) between them. (K.) b3: توسّط also signifies He took what was of a middle sort, between the good and the bad. (K.) وَسْط, with the س quiescent, is an adv. n.; [as such written وَسْطَ, meaning In the middle of: in the midst of; or among;] (S, M, IB, Mgh, K;) and it is for this reason that it has its middle letter quiescent, (S, IB,) like بَيْنَ (IB) with which it is syn.; (IB, Msb;) [for] it may be used in any case in which بَيْنَ may be substituted for it; (S, IAth, K;) and, like بَيْنَ, it does not denote a part of the thing denoted by the noun to which it is prefixed, wherein differing from ↓ وَسَط. (S, IB, K.) You say, جَلَسْتُ وَسْطَ القَوْمِ (S, IB, Msb) I sat [in the middle of, or in the midst of,] or among, the people, or company of men, (IB, Msb;) not being one of them. (IB.) And وَسْطَ رَأْسِهِ دُهْنٌ [In the middle of his head is oil]; not meaning a component part of the head. (IB.) And it is said in a trad.

الجَالِسُ وَسْطَ الحَلْقَةِ مَلْعُونٌ [The sitter in the midst of the ring is cursed]: for he must of necessity turn his back towards some of those who surround him, and so displease them; wherefore they curse him and revile him. (IAth.) b2: It may not [properly] be used as a decl. n., (IB,) i. e. as an inchoative, (Mgh,) nor as an agent, nor as an objective complement; (IB, Mgh) &c.; thus, also, differing from ↓ وَسَط; unless it have the adverbial particle [فِى] prefixed to it; in which case it has the sense of وَسَط, and you say, جَلَسْتُ فِى وَسْطِ القَوْمِ and فى وَسْطِ رَأْسِهِ دُهْنٌ [like as you say جَلَسْتُ وَسْطَ القَوْمِ and وَسْطَ رَأْسِهِ دُهنٌ, explained above]: and sometimes it is used as a subst., preserving the quiescence [and the adverbial form], like as بَيْنَ is used as a subst. though virtually an adv. n., in cases like that where it is said in the Kur, [vi. 94,] لَقَدْ تَقَطَّعَ بَيْنَكُمْ [meaning مَا بَيْنَكُمْ, or, as explained in the Expos. of the Jel., وَصْلُكُمْ بَيْنَكُمْ]: (IB:) or وَسْط is sometimes used for ↓ وَسَط, improperly; (S;) or it may be so used; (Msb;) or it is so used by poetic license; (M;) or, as some say, each of them may take the place of the other; and this seems the most likely: (IAth:) or one says وَسْط, with sukoon, only, of that whereof the component parts are separate, or distinct, (IAth, K *,) such as a number of men, and beasts of carriage, &c.; (IAth;) and ↓ وَسَط, (IAth,) or both, (K,) of that whereof the component parts are united, (IAth, K *,) such as a house, and the head, (IAth,) or such as a ring: (K:) it is related, as on the authority of Th, that الشَّىْءِ ↓ وَسَطُ and وسْطُهُ [both meaning The middle, or midst, of the thing] are said when the thing is solid; but when its component parts are separate, or distinct, the word is وَسْطٌ, with sukoon, exclusively. (M.) وَسَطٌ [The middle, midst, or middle part, of a thing; i. e.,] properly, the part of which several lateral, or outer, portions are equal; as, for instance, the middle finger: but also meaning the part which is surrounded, or enclosed, on its several sides, although unequally: (Msb:) or the part that is between the two sides or extremities of a thing; (M, IB, Mgh, K;) [or the part, or point, that is between every two opposite extremities of a thing; and properly when equidistant;] as, for instance, the centre of a circle: (Mgh:) as also ↓ أَوْسَطُ, (M, K,) which is [likewise] a subst., like أَفْكَلٌ and أَزْمَلٌ [but imperfectly decl. because originally an epithet]: (M:) وَسَطٌ has its middle letter with fet-h in order that it may agree in measure with its contr., which is طَرَفٌ; the like agreement being frequent: (IB:) and it is only used in cases in which بَيْنَ may not be substituted for it, herein [and in other respects, mentioned in the next preceding paragraph,] differing from وَسْط: (S, IB, K:) [respecting the similar and dissimilar usages of وَسَط and وَسّط, sufficient observations have been made in the next preceding paragraph, which see throughout, and more especially in its latter part:] the pl. of وَسَطٌ is أَوْسَاطٌ; and that of its syn. ↓ أَوْسَطُ is أَوَاسِطُ; or this may be a pl. of ↓ وَاسِطٌ, and originally وَوَاسِطُ. (M.) You say, جَلَسْتُ فِى

وَسَطِ الدَّارِ [I sat in the middle, or middle part, of the house]; (S, Mgh, Msb;) because وَسَط is a subst. (S.) And إِتَّسَعَ وَسَطُهُ [The middle, or middle part, thereof, became wide]. (Mgh, Msb.) And ضَرَبْتُ وَسَطَ رَأْسِهِ [I smote the middle, or middle part, of his head]. (Mgh, * Msb.) And كَسَرْتُ وَسَطَ الرُّمْحِ [I broke the middle, or middle part, of the spear]. (IB.) And وَسَطُهُ خَيْرٌ مِنْ طَرَفِهِ [The middle, or middle part, thereof is better than the extremity]. (Mgh, Msb.) And خَيَرُ الأُمُورِ أَوْسَاطُهَا The best of affairs, or actions, or cases, are such of them as are between two extremes. (M. [See R. Q. 1, in art. حق.]) It is sometimes put in the accus. case as an adv. n.; as in the saying, جَلَسْتُ وَسَطَ الدَّارِ; but this is an instance of departure from the original usage; and [the meaning is جَلَسْتُ فِى وَسَطِ الدَّارِ signifying as explained above; so that] it is not here syn. with بَيْنَ, like as وَسْطَ is. (IB.) b2: It is also used as an epithet: (IB, Mgh:) [as such signifying Middle; intermediate; midway, or equidistant, between the two extremities or extremes; in place, or position: but in this sense superseded in usage by ↓ أَوْسَطُ and ↓ وَاسِطٌ and ↓ مُتَوَسِّطٌ: and in time; but in this sense also superseded in usage by ↓ أَوْسَطُ:] middling; of middle sort, kind, or rate; (Msb;) as also ↓ أَوْسَطُ (S, * M, Mgh, Msb, K) and ↓ مُتَوَسِّطٌ (M, Mgh, Msb) and ↓ وَسُوطٌ (M, TA) [and ↓ وَسِيطٌ]; between good and bad; (Msb, TA;) as also ↓ أَوْسَطُ: (Msb:) conforming, or conformable, to the just mean; just; equitable: (Zj, S, K:) good; (Zj, M, Msb, K;) as also ↓ وَسِيطٌ: (M:) most conforming, or conformable, to the just mean; most just; most equitable; applied to what is so of a thing; (S, M, K;) whatever it be; (S, K;) as also ↓ أَوْسَطَ: (M:) best; (Msb;) as also ↓ أَوْسَطُ: (S, * Msb, K *:) most generous: (M:) and when used as an epithet, it is applied alike to a masc., fem., sing., dual, and pl., subst.: (Mgh:) the fem. of ↓ أَوْسَطُ is وُسْطَى; (Mgh, Msb;) and the pl. masc. أَوَاسِطُ; and pl. fem. وُسَطٌ. (Msb.) Hence, (Msb,) ↓ الإِصْبَعُ الوُسْطَى (S, Msb, K) The middle finger. (Msb.) And ↓ اليَوْمُ الأَوْسَطُ [The middle day]. (Msb.) And ↓ اللَّيْلَةُ الوُسْطَى [The middle night. (Msb.)

We will couple them, or pair them, [with females having eyes like those of gazelles:] (S, Mgh, K, TA:) the meaning is not the تَزْوِيج commonly known, [i. e. marriage,] for there will be no [such] تزويج in Paradise.

And so in the Kur [lxxxi. 7], وَإِذَا النُّفُوسُ زُوِّجَتْ and when the souls shall be coupled, or paired, or united with their fellows: (TA:) i. e., with their bodies: (Bd, Jel:) or, each with its register: (Bd:) or with its works: (Bd, TA:) or the souls of the believers with the حُور, and those of the unbelievers with the devils: (Bd:) or when each sect, or party, shall be united with those whom it has followed.

(TA.) b3: زَوَّجْتُهُ امْرَأَةً, (T, S, A, * Mgh, Msb, K,) thus the Arabs say accord. to Yoo (S, Mgh) and ISK, (Mgh,) making the verb doubly trans. by itself, [without a particle,] meaning I married him, or gave him in marriage, to a woman; (Msb, TA;) as also بِامْرَأَةٍ; (A, K;) Akh says that this is allowable [app. as being of the dial. of Azd-Shanooäh (see 5)]: (Msb, TA:) [when the verb is trans. by means of بِ, it generally has the meaning expl. in the first sentence of this art.:] زَوَّجْتُ مِنْهُ امْرَأَةً is not of the language of the Arabs: (T, Mgh, TA:) [but see a similar phrase in a verse cited in art. حصن, conj. 4:] the lawyers say, زَوَّجْتُهُ مِنْهَا [meaning I married him to her]; but this is a phrase for which there is no reasonable way of accounting, unless that it is accord. to the opinion of those who hold that مِنْ may be redundant in an affirmative proposition, or that of those who hold that it may be substituted for بِ.

(A. [See also 6.]) b3: زاوج بَيْنَهُمَا and ↓ ازوج (tropical:) [He made them two (referring to sentences or phrases) to have a mutual resemblance in their prose-rhymes, or in measure: or to be connected, each with the other; or dependent, each on the other]. (A, TA.) See also 8, in three places.4 أَزْوَجَ see the next preceding paragraph.5 تَزَوَّجْتُ امْرَأَةً, (T, S, A, * Mgh, Msb, K,) thus the Arabs say accord. to Yoo (S, Mgh) and ISK, (Mgh,) meaning I married a woman; i. e., took a woman in marriage; took her as my wife; (Msb, TA;) as also بِامْرَأَةٍ; (A, * K;) or this is rare; (K;) Akh says that it is allowable; (Msb, TA;) and it is said to be of the dial. of AzdShanooäh, (S, Mgh, Msb, TA,) by Fr; (S, TA;) but accord. to Yoo (S, Mgh) and ISK, (Mgh,) it is not of the language of the Arabs. (T, S, Mgh.) And تزوّج فِى بَنِى فُلَانٍ (A, Msb, TA) He married, or took a wife, among the sons of such a one. (Msb, TA.) And تزوّج إِلَيْهِ i. q. خَاتَنَهُ [He allied himself to him by marriage].

[in the Kur xxvii. 22]: (Kull p. 31:) and this is also termed ↓ مُزَاوَجَةٌ and مُحَاذَاةٌ and مُوَازَنَةٌ and مُقَابَلَةٌ and مُؤَازَاةٌ. (Marginal note in a copy of the Muzhir, 22nd نوع.) زَاجٌ [Vitriol;] a well-known kind of salt; (K, TA;) called شَبٌّ يَمَانِىٌّ; [but see شَبٌّ;] which is a medicinal substance, and one of the ingredients of ink: (Lth, TA:) [pl. زَاجَاتٌ, meaning species, or sorts, of vitriol; namely, green, or sulphate of iron, which is an ingredient in ink, and is generally meant by the term زاج when unrestricted by an epithet; blue, or sulphate of copper; and white, or sulphate of zinc:] it is a Pers\. word, (S,) arabicized, (S, K,) originally زاگ. (TA.) زَوْجٌ primarily signifies A sort of thing of any kind [that is one of a pair or couple]: and زَوْجَانِ signifies a pair, or couple, i. e. any two things paired or coupled together, whether they be likes or contraries: زَوْجٌ signifying either one of such two things: (Az, TA:) or, accord. to 'Alee Ibn-'Eesà, a sort of thing [absolutely]: (Mgh:) or a sort of thing having its like, (El-Ghooree, Mgh, Msb,) as in the case of species; (Msb;) or having its contrary, (El-Ghooree, Mgh, Msb,) as the moist and the dry, and the male and the female, and the night and the day, and the bitter and the sweet; (Msb;) though sometimes applied to any sort of thing; and to a single thing: (El-Ghooree, Mgh:) or it is applied to a single thing only when having with it a thing of the same kind; (Mgh, Msb;) زَوْجَانِ signifying a pair, or couple, of such things: (Mgh:) the pl. is أَزْوَاجِ: (TA:) you say زَوْجَانِ مِنْ حَمَامٍ and زَوْجَا حَمَامٍ [A pair of pigeons]: (A:) and اِشْتَرَيْتُ زَوْجَى حَمَامٍ [I bought a pair of pigeons], meaning a male and a female: (S:) and زَوْجَا نِعَالٍ [A pair of sandals]: (S, A:) and in like manner زَوْجَيْنِ is used in the Kur xi. 42 and xxiii. 28; (S;) meaning a male and a female: (Bd, Jel:) or, accord. to the M, زَوْجٌ signifies one of a pair or couple: and also a pair or couple together: (TA:) and in like manner says AO, (Mgh, Msb,) and IKt, and IF: (Msb:) and ISh says that it signifies two; (Mgh;) and so says IDrd: (Msb:) so that you say, هُمَا زَوْجٌ as well as هُمَا زَوْجَانِ [meaning They two are a pair, or couple]; (S, K, TA;) like as you say, هُمَا سَوَآءٌ and هُمَا سِيَّانِ: (S, TA:) and عِنْدِى زَوْجُ نِعَالٍ, meaning [I have] two [sandals]; and زَوْجَانِ, meaning four: (Msb:) or زَوْجُ حَمَامٍ as meaning a male and a female [of pigeons] is a phrase which should not be used; one to which the vulgar are addicted: (TA:) IAmb says, the vulgar are wrong in thinking that زَوْجٌ signifies two; for the Arabs used not to employ such a phrase as زَوْجُ حَمَامٍ, but used to say زَوْجَانِ مِنَ الحَمَامِ, (Mgh, Msb, TA,) meaning a male and a female; (TA;) and زَوْجَانِ مِنَ الخِفَافِ, (Mgh, Msb, TA,) meaning the right and the left [of boots]: (TA:) nor did they apply the term زَوْجٌ to one of birds, like as they applied the dual, زَوْجَانِ, to two; but they applied the term فَرْدٌ to the male, and فَرْدَةٌ to the female: (Mgh, Msb:) Es-Sijistánee, also, says that the term زَوْجٌ should not be applied to two, neither of birds nor of other things, for this is a usage of the ignorant; but to every two, زَوْجَانِ: (Msb:) Az says that the grammarians disapprove the saying of ISh that زَوْجٌ signifies two of any things, (Mgh, * TA,) and that زَوْجَانِ مِنْ خِفَافٍ signifies [Two pairs of boots, or] four [boots]; for زَوْجٌ with them signifies one [of a pair or couple]: a man and his wife [together] are termed زَوْجَانِ: and ثَمَانِيَةَ أَزْوَاجٍ in the Kur [vi. 144 and xxxix. 8] means Eight ones [of pairs or couples]: the primary meaning of زَوْجٌ being that first mentioned in this paragraph; (TA:) in the Kur xxii. 5 and 1. 7 [it seems to be implied that it means pair or couple; but more probably in these instances] it means sort, or species: (Bd, Jel:) it is also expl. by the word لَوْنٌ [used in this last sense]: (T, TA;) in the Kur xxxviii. 58, its pl. أَزْوَاجٌ means أَلْوَانٌ and أَنْوَاعٌ [i. e. sorts, or species] of punishment: F explains the sing. as meaning لَوْنٌ مِنَ الدِّيبَاجِ وَنَحْوِهِ [a sort, or species, of silk brocade and the like]; but his restricting the signification by the words من الديباج ونحوه is not right, as is shown by a citation, in the T, of a verse of El-Aashà, in which he uses the phrase كُلُّ زَوْجٍ مِنَ الدِّيبَاجِ [every sort, or species, of silk brocade], as an ex. of زوج in the sense of لون. (TA.) b2: [Hence,] A woman's husband: and a man's wife: in which latter sense ↓ زَوْجَةٌ is also used; (S, M, A, Mgh, * Msb, K; *) as in a verse of El-Farezdak cited in art بول, conj. 10; (S, Mgh;) but it is disallowed by As; (TA;) and the former word is the one of high authority, (Mgh, Msb,) and is that which occurs in the Kur, in ii. 33 and vii. 18, (S, Mgh, Msb, TA,) and in iv. 24, (Mgh, TA,) and in xxxiii. 37: (Mgh:) AHát says that the people of Nejd call a wife ↓ زَوْجَةٌ, and that the people of the Haram use this word: but ISk says that the people of El-Hijáz call a wife زَوْجٌ; and the rest of the Arabs, ↓ زَوْجَةٌ: the lawyers use this latter word only, as applied to a wife, for the sake of perspicuity, fearing to confound the male with the female: (Msb:) the pl. of زَوْجٌ is أَزْوَاجٌ (Msb, K *) and زِوَجَةٌ; (K;) and the pl. of ↓ زَوْجَةٌ is زَوْجَاتٌ (A, Mgh, Msb) and أَزْوَاجٌ also; (A, Msb;) and أَزَاوِيجُ occurs [as a pl. pl., i. e. pl. of أَزْوَاجُ,] in a verse cited by ISk. (TA in art. نأج.) b3: [Hence also,] A consociate, an associate, or a comrade: (A:) its pl. in this sense is أَزْوَاجٌ, (S, A, K,) occurring in the Kur xxxvii. 22. (S, A.) b4: And A fellow, or like: pl. أَزْوَاجٌ: in this sense, each one of a pair of boots is the زوج of the other; and the husband is the زوج of the wife; and the wife, the زوج of the husband. (TA.) You say, عِنْدِى مِنْ هٰذَا أَزْوَاجٌ I have, of this, fellows, or likes. (TA.) b5: As used by arithmeticians, (Mgh, Msb,) contr. of فَرْدٌ; (S, Mgh, Msb, K;) i. e. it signifies An even number; a number that may be divided into two equal numbers; (Msb;) as, for instance, four, and eight, as opposed to three, and seven: (Mgh:) pl. أَزْوَاجٌ. (S, Mgh.) One says زَوْجٌ أَوْ فَرْدٌ [Even or odd?], like as one says خَسًا أَوْ زَكًا [or rather زَكًا أَوْ خَسًا] and شَفْعٌ أَوْ وِتْرٌ. (S, Mgh.) b6: Also A [kind of cloth such as is termed] نَمَط [q. v.]: or silk brocade; syn. دِيبَاجٌ: (TA:) or a نَمَط that is thrown over the [kind of vehicle called]

هَوْدَج. (S, K, TA.) زِيجٌ: see art. زيج.

زَوْجَةٌ: see زَوْجٌ, in four places, in the latter half of the paragraph.

زَوْجِيَّةٌ and ↓ زَوَاجٌ [The marriage-state, or simply marriage]: the latter is a subst. from زَوَّجَ, [i. e. a quasi-inf. n.,] like سَلَامٌ from سَلَّمَ, and كَلَامٌ from كَلَّمَ. (Msb.) You say, بَيْنَهُمَا حَقُّ الزَّوْجِيَّةِ and ↓ الزَّوَاجِ [Between them two is the right of the marriage-state, or of marriage]: (A, Msb:) and الزِّوَاجِ is also allowable as [an inf. n. of 3,] coordinate to المُزَاوَجَة. (Msb.) زَوَاجٌ: see the next preceding paragraph, in two places.

زَائِجَةٌ: see art زيج.

مِزْوَاجٌ A woman who marries often: (S, K:) one who has had many husbands. (K.)

زبر

1 زَبَرَ البِئْرَ, (A, TA,) [aor. ـُ and perhaps زَبِرَ also,] inf. n. زَبْرٌ, (S, K,) He cased the well, or walled it internally, with stones. (S, A, K.) b2: زَبْرٌ also signifies The disposing a building, or construction, one part upon another; (K;) [as is done in casing a well;] and in this sense likewise it is an inf. n., of which the verb is زَبَرَ. (TK.) b3: And زَبَرَهُ بِالحِجَارَةِ, (TA,) inf. n. زَبْرٌ, (K,) He threw stones at him; or pelted him with stones. (K, TA.) b4: And [hence, perhaps, or] from زَبَرَ in the first of the senses expl. above, because him whom you restrain from error you strengthen like as a well is strengthened by its being cased, (TA,) زَبَرَهُ, (S, A, Mgh, Msb, K,) aor. ـُ (S, Mgh, Msb, K) and زَبِرَ, (Ks, K,) inf. n. as above, (S, Mgh, Msb, K,) He chid him; or checked, restrained, or forbade, him with rough speech: (S, A, Mgh, Msb, K:) he prevented, hindered, or withheld, him: (S, Mgh, K:) he forbade, or prohibited, him: (K:) he repelled him with strength. (MF in art. هزبر.) You say, زَبَرَهُ عَنِ الأَمْرِ He restrained him with rough speech, or forbade and prevented him, from doing the thing. (TA.) And زَبَرَ السَّائِلَ He chid and repelled the beggar with rough speech. (TA.) A2: زَبَرَ, (S, A, Msb, K,) aor. ـُ and زَبِرَ, (S, K,) inf. n. as above, He wrote (S, A, Msb, K) a writing, or book: (A, Msb:) or he wrote it firmly, skilfully, or well: (TA:) and he inscribed, or engraved, upon stones: (Az, TA:) and ↓ تَزْبِرَةٌ, also, is syn. with كِتَابَةٌ, like زَبْرٌ, (S, K,) and خَطٌّ: As says, I heard an Arab of the desert say, أَنَا أَعْرِفُ تَزْبِرَتِى, meaning خَطِّى and كِتَابَتِى [i. e. I know my writing, or handwriting]: (S:) and Fr says, It is either an inf. n. of ↓ زَبَّرَ, meaning he wrote, though I know not the verb with teshdeed, or it is a simple subst. like تَوْدِيَةٌ: (TA:) thus زَبَرَ is syn. with ذَبَرَ: (A 'Obeyd, T and S in art. ذبر:) [and so, perhaps, is ↓ زَبَّرَ with ذَبَّرَ.] b2: And زَبَرْتُهُ signifies also I read it, or recited it; [or did so with a low, or faint, voice;] like ذَبَرْتُهُ [q. v.]. (As, TA.) b3: زَبْرٌ is also syn. with كَلَامٌ [as meaning The act of speaking, or speech as a subst.]: (K:) [SM says,] thus it is found in all the copies: but [he adds] I have not found any authoritative ex. of it, so it requires consideration. (TA.) [Accord. to the TK, however, one says, سَأَلْتُهُ فَمَا زَبَرَ لِى بِزَبْرٍ, meaning I asked him, and he spoke not to me a speech, or sentence]

A3: Accord. to the K, زَبْرٌ is also syn. with صَبْرٌ [meaning The being patient, or patience]: one says, مَا لَهُ زَبْرٌ وَلَاصَبْرٌ: ISd says, This is mentioned by IAar; but in my opinion, the meaning here is عَقْلٌ. (TA. [See زَبْرٌ below.]) [Or, as syn. with صَبْرٌ, it may be an inf. n.: for, accord. to the TK, one says, لم يزبر عليه, meaning He did not endure it with patience (لَمْ يَصْبِرْ).]

A4: زَبُرَ, inf. n. زَبَارَةٌ, He (a ram) was, or became, bulky. (Lth, TA.) 2 زَبَّرَ see 1, in two places.4 ازبر He (a man, TA) was, or became, large in body. (K.) b2: And He was, or became, courageous, brave, or strong-hearted. (K.) A2: أَزْبَرْتُهُ, inf. n. إِزْبَارٌ, I rendered him (a ram) bulky. (Lth, TA.) 5 تزبّر He (a man) quaked, or trembled, by reason of anger. (TA. [See also Q. Q. 4.]) Q. Q. 1 زَأْبَرَ (S, A, K) and زَوْبَرَ (K) [and app. زَيْبَرَ (see مُزَأْبِرٌ)], said of a garment, or piece of cloth, (S, A, K,) Its زِئْبِر [or nap] came forth; (S, K; *) it had زِئْبِر. (TA.) A2: Also the first, [and app. the second and third likewise,] He made a garment, or piece of cloth, to have its زِئْبِر [or nap] come forth. (K.) [This verb and other similar words with hemzeh next after the ز are mentioned in the K in a separate art. before art. زبر.] Q. Q. 4 اِزْبَأَرَّ It (fur, or soft hair, and a plant, or herbage) grew forth. (S, K, TA.) b2: It (hair) bristled up. (S, A, K.) b3: He (a dog [and a horse]) bristled up his hair. (S, K.) Marrár Ibn-Munkid El-Handhalee says, (S, TA,) describing a horse, (TA,) فَهْوَ وَرْدُ اللَّوْنِ فِى ازْبِئْرَارِهِ وَكُمَيْتُ اللَّوْنِ مَا لَمْ يَزْبَئِرْ [And he is of a yellowish red colour on the occasion of his bristling up his hair, and of a dark bay colour as long as he does not bristle up his hair]. (S, TA.) b4: Also He (a cat) had abundance of hair. (TA.) b5: And He (a man) prepared for evil, or mischief: (K, TA:) or became affected by a quaking, or trembling, and a bristling-up of the hair. (TA) زَبْرٌ Stones. (K.) b2: [The stone casing of the interior of a well: see جُولٌ. b3: And hence,] (tropical:) Understanding, intellect, or intelligence, (S, A, K,) and judgment, (TA,) and self-restraint: (S, A:) originally an inf. n. [accord. to some; but this is evidently a mistake, as is shown by phrases in which it is coupled with جُولٌ]. (S.) One says, مَا لَهُ زَبْرٌ (tropical:) He has not understanding, or intellect, or intelligence, nor self-restraint: (S, A:) or judgment: or understanding to be relied upon. (TA.) And لَهُ زَبْرٌ وَجُولٌ: and مَا فَوْقَ ↓ هُوَ مَزْبُورٌ الجُولِ مِنْهُ وَصُلْبٌ مَا تَحْتَ الزَّبْرِ مِنَ الجُولِ: see جُولٌ. One says also of the wind, when it veers, or shifts, and does not continue to blow from one point, لَيْسَ لَهَا زَبْرٌ (tropical:) [It has not steadiness]. (TA.) A2: See also زِبِرٌّ.

زِبْرٌ [A thing] written; as also ↓ زَبِيرٌ: (K:) [or] a writing, or book; (S;) as also ↓ زَبُورٌ, of the measure فَعُولٌ in the sense of the measure مَفْعُولٌ, (S, Msb, K,) like رَسُولٌ: (Msb, TA:) زَبُورٌ signifying any writing or book: or any divine book with which it is difficult to become acquainted: or a book that is confined to intel-lectual science, exclusive of legal statutes or ordinances: (TA:) ↓ الزَّبُورُ signifies particularly the Book [of the Psalms] of David: (S, Mgh, Msb, K:) and also, and لُغَةُ الزَّبُورِ, the Syriac [or Hebrew] language: (Mgh:) the pl. of زِبْرٌ is زُبُورٌ; (S, K;) and the pl. of ↓ زَبُورٌ is زُبُرٌ. (S, Msb, K.) It is said in the Kur [xxi. 105], وَلَقَدْ كَتَبْنَا فِى

مِنْ بَعْدِ الذِّكْرِ ↓ الزَّبُورِ, meaning And we have written in the book sent down to David, after the تَوْرَاة [or Book of the Law revealed to Moses]: (Aboo-Hureyreh, TA:) Sa'eed Ibn-Jubeyr read الزُّبُور, [pl. of الزِّبْرُ,] and said that it means the Book of the Law revealed to Moses (التوراة) and the Gospel and the Kur-án [together]; and that الذكر means what is in heaven: (TA:) and some also read زُبُورًا in the Kur iv. 161 and xvii. 57. (S, TA.) زَبَرٌ, syn. with زَوْبَرٌ &c.: see زِئْبِرٌ.

زُبْرَةٌ A piece of iron: (S, Msb, K:) or a big piece of iron: (TA:) pl. زُبَرٌ (S, Msb, K) and زُبُرٌ. (S, K.) The former pl. occurs in the Kur xviii.

95. (S.) It is also said in the Kur [xxiii. 55], فَتَقَطَّعُوا أَمْرَهُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ زُبُرًا, (S, TA,) and زُبَرًا; (TA;) meaning قِطَعًا, (S, TA,) in both cases; (Fr;) [i.e., But they have become divided, in their state, among themselves, into parties:] or he who reads زُبُرًا makes it pl. of ↓ زَبُورٌ, not of زُبْرَةٌ; for the measure فُعْلَةٌ does not assume the measure فُعُلٌ in the pl.; and the meaning is, they have made their religion [to be founded upon] various books: and زُبَرٌ is pl. of زُبْرَةٌ: or it may be also pl. of ↓ زَبُورٌ, and originally زُبُرٌ, being changed therefrom, like as some of the Arabs are related to have said جُدَدٌ for the pl. of جَدِيدٌ, which is originally and regularly جُدُدٌ; after the same manner as when one says رُكَبَاتٌ for رُكُبَاتٌ, and غُرَفَاتٌ for غُرُفَاتٌ: and this opinion is strengthened by AA's allowing the reading زُبُرًا and زُبْرًا and زُبَرًا; زُبْرًا being a contraction of زُبُرًا, like as عُنْقٌ is of عُنُقٌ. (IB, TA.) b2: The anvil (K) of a blacksmith. (TA.) A2: The upper part of the back, next the neck; or the part between the two shoulder-blades; or the part where the neck is joined to the back-bone; syn. كَاهِلٌ: (K:) or the place of the كاهل: (S:) or a certain thing rising from the كاهل: (TA:) pl. in this sense, أَزْبَارٌ; or this is a pl. pl., as though it were pl. of زُبَرٌ, and this were pl. of زُبْرَةٌ in this sense. (TA.) One says, شَدَّ لِلْأَمْرِ زُبْرَتَهُ He strengthened his كَاهِل and his back for the affair. (TA.) b2: Also, hence, (S,) The accumulation, or mass, of hair which is between the shoulder-blades of the lion; (S in art. لبد;) [the mane of a lion;] the collection of hair (Lth, A, K) between the shoulderblades of the lion &c., (K,) or upon the place of the كَاهِل [expl. above], and upon the elbows, of the lion; (Lth, A;) and any hair in a similar collected state. (Lth, TA.) b3: And [hence,] الزُّبْرَةُ (tropical:) A certain asterism; (K;) two bright stars [d and q], (S, K,) in the كَاهِل [or part of the back next the neck], (K,) or which are the كَاهِلَانِ, (S,) of Leo; (S, K;) one [namely the Eleventh] of the Mansions of the Moon: (S, K:) [also called الخَرَاتَانِ: see this word: and see مَنَازِلُ القَمَرِ, in art. نزل:] it is of the dial. of El-Yemen. (TA.) [This description is incorrect if applied to the constellation as at present figured; but doubtless correct when applied to it as figured by the Arabs. Kzw, in his description of Leo, says that they are two stars, on the belly, and on the projecting part of the haunch-bone, of Leo.] b4: Also The breast, or what projects of its upper part, (syn. صُدْرَةٌ,) of any beast. (TA.) زِبِرٌّ, applied to a lion, (S, TA,) and to a man, (TA,) Strong; (AA, S, K, TA;) as also ↓ زَبْرٌ. (K.) زَبُورٌ: see زِبْرٌ, in four places; and see زُبْرَةٌ, in two places.

A3: Also A calamity, or misfortune; (Fr, K;) and so ↓, زَوْبَرٌ, (Mohammad Ibn-Habeeb, TA,) which has been said to have this meaning in a verse of Ibn-Ahmar cited below voce زِئْبِرٌ. (TA.) A4: And Black mud; or black fetid mud. (Sgh, K.) زَأْبَرٌ: see the next paragraph.

زُؤْبُرٌ: see the next paragraph.

زِئْبِرٌ (S, and K in art. زأبر, in the CK [erroneously] written زِئْبَر,) and زِئْبُرٌ, (S, K,) sometimes thus pronounced, (S,) or this, which is mentioned by IJ and ISd, is incorrect, (K, * TA,) and ↓ زُؤْبُرٌ and ↓ زُوبُرٌ and ↓ زَوْبَرٌ, (K in arts. زأبر and زبر,) as also زَغْبَرٌ or زِغْبَرٌ (as in two different copies of the K in art. زغبر) or زِغْبِرٌ (as in another copy of the K and in the O and TA in the same art.) and زَغْبُرٌ (accord. to a copy of the K in that art.) or زِغْبُرٌ, (O and TA in that art., and so accord. to one copy of the K,) [The nap, or villous substance, upon the surface of a garment, or piece of cloth;] what is upon the surface of a new garment, or piece of cloth, like what is upon the surface of [the kind of cloth called] خَزّ; (S, TA;) the زِئْبِر of [the kind of cloth called] خَزّ, and of a قَطِيفَة, and of any garment, or piece of cloth; (Lth, TA;) the زغبر of a garment, or piece of cloth; (Az, TA;) or what appears of the دَرْز [q. v., here meaning nap, or villous substance,] of a garment, or piece of cloth. (IJ, K.) [Hence] one says, ذَهَبَتِ الأَيَّامُ بِطَرَاوَتِهِ وَنَفَضَتْ زِئْبِرَهُ (tropical:) [lit. Days took away its freshness, and shook off its nap]; meaning its age became old. (A, TA.) And ↓ أَخَذَهُ بِزَوْبَرِهِ (S, A, K) and ↓ زَأْبَرِهِ (S, K) and ↓ زَبَرِهِ, (K,) as also زَغْبَرِهِ, (S, and K * in art. زغبر,) and ↓ زَنَوْبَرِهِ, incorrectly written in the K زَبَوْبَرِهِ, (TA,) (assumed tropical:) He took it altogether, (S, A, K,) leaving nothing of it. (S.) Ibn-Ahmar says, وَإِنْ قَالَ عَاوٍ مِنْ مَعَدٍّ قَصِيدَةً

(assumed tropical:) [And if a howler of Ma'add utters an ode in which is a fault,] it is attributed to me altogether, (S, * L,) when I have not been the author of it: (L:) the last word, accord. to Aboo-'Alee [El-Fárisee], being imperfectly decl. because made a proper name for the قصيدة, and therefore combining the two qualities of being determinate and being of the fem. gender: so he said in answer to a question of IJ: but some say that the said word there means a calamity, or misfortune: and IB says that it is a proper name for a bitch (كلبة [if this be not a mistranscription]), of the fem. gender. (TA. [In one copy of the S, I find only the last three words of this verse: in another, it commences thus: إِذَا قَالَ غَاوٍ مِنْ تَنُوخَ: in the TA, the former reading is given, except that غَاوٍ is put in the place of عَاوٍ.]) One says also, ↓ رَجَعَ بِزَوْبَرِهِ (assumed tropical:) He returned disappointed, or unsuccessful; (TA;) without having obtained anything; (K, TA;) and without having accomplished his want.
