(Fr, L.) b7: [Hence,] سَنَّنِى هٰذَا الشَّىْءُ (assumed tropical:) This thing [sharpened my appetite;] made me desirous of food. (K.) The Arabs say [also] الحَمْضُ تَسُنُّ الإِبِلَ عَلَى الخُلَّةِ (assumed tropical:) The [plants, or trees, called]

حمض strengthen the camels [or sharpen their appetites] for the [plants, or trees, called] خلّة, like as the whetstone strengthens [or sharpens] the edge of the knife. (L.) b8: [Hence also,] سَنَّ

(S, L.) b12: إٍنَّمَا إُنَسَّى لِأَسُنَّ, occurring in a trad., meaning I am made to forget only that I may drive men by directing to the right way, and show them what is needful for them to do when forgetfulness occurs to them, may be from سَنَّ [expl. above as] meaning “ he pastured and tended well ” the camels. (L.) b13: سَنَّ عَلَيْهِ المَآءَ, [aor. and inf. n. as above,] He poured forth the water upon him, or it; (M, L, K;) as also ↓ اسنّهُ: (Ham p. 611:) or he discharged the water gently upon him, or it.

(L.) You say, سَنَنْتُ لَكُمْ سُنَّةً فَاتَّبِعُوهَا [I have instituted &c., for you an institute, a custom, a practice, a usage, or the like, to be followed, therefore follow ye it]. (L.)

(L.) It is said in a trad. respecting the Magians, أَهْلِ الكِتَابِ ↓ سُنُّوا بِهِمْ سُنَّةَ, i. e. Pursue ye with them the way of the People of the Scripture, or Bible; act with them as ye act with these; granting them security on the condition of receiving [from them] the [tax called]

جِزْيَة. (Mgh, L. *) A2: سُنَّ is also expl. as meaning He, or it, became altered for the worse, or stinking: so in a trad. of Barwaa the daughter of Wáshik, where it is said, كَانَ زَوْجُهَا سُنَّ فِى بِئْرٍ

[Her husband had become altered for the worse, or stinking, having died, in a well which he had descended]: from the saying in the Kur مِنْ حَمَأ

مَسْنُونٍ: [see مَسْنُونٌ:] but some say that he [who used this phrase] meant [to say, or meant thereby,] أَسِنَ, i. e. his head became affected with vertigo by reason of a foul odour that he smelt, and he swooned. (L.) 2 سنّنهُ: see 1, near the beginning. b2: [Hence,] سنّن المَنْطِقَ (assumed tropical:) He made the speech good, or beautiful; (M, L, K;) as though he polished it. (M, L.) b3: And سنّن إِلَيْهِ الرُّمْحَ, (M, L, K,) inf. n. تَسْنِينٌ, (M, L,) He directed, or pointed, the spear towards him, or it. (M, L, K.) 3 سانّ النَّاقَةَ, inf. n. مُسَانَّةٌ and سِنَانٌ, (S, M, L, K,) He (the stallion-camel) bit the she-camel with the fore part of the mouth: (L:) or he opposed himself to her, (M, L,) or drove her, (S, L,) or bit her with the fore part of the mouth, and drove her, (K,) to make her lie down, (S, M, L, K,) in order that he might cover her: (S, M, * L, K:) or he covered her without her desiring it, or before she desired it, by force. (IB, L.) 4 اسنّ, (S, M, L, Msb, K,) inf. n. إِسْنَانٌ, (Mgh, L, Msb,) said of a man, (S, M, L, Msb, K,) and of other than man, (Msb,) i. q. كَبِرَ [meaning He became advanced in age, or fullgrown], (S, L, Msb,) or كَبِرَتْ سِنُّهُ [which means the same]; (M, L, K;) as also ↓ استسنّ: (K:) but Az says that الإِسْنَانُ in the case of an animal of the ox-kind and of the sheep or goat, is not the same as in that of a man: for in such animals it means [the attaining to the age of] the coming forth of the [permanent] ثَنِيَّة [or central incisor]: (Msb:) or in such animals it means at least [the attaining to the age of] the shedding of the [tooth called] ثنيّة [which is generally said to be in the third year]; and at the utmost in such animals, [the attaining to the age of] what is termed الصُّلُوغ or السُّلُوغ [which is in the sixth year]; and at the utmost in camels, [the attaining to the age of] what is termed البُزُول [which is generally in the ninth year]. (Mgh, L.) [It is also expl. in the K as meaning His tooth grew forth: but the right explanation is one given in the Mgh and L; i. e. his tooth whereby he became مَسِنّ grew forth.] لَمْ يُسْنَنْ, occurring in a trad. of Ibn-'Omar, as some relate it, is a mistake for لَمْ يُسْنِنْ. (Mgh, L.) And البَدَنَةُ ↓ سُنَّتِ, a phrase mentioned by KT, as meaning The teeth of the بدنة grew forth, is also a mistake [for أَسَنَّت]. (L.) b2: You say also, اسنّ سَدِيسُ النَّاقَةِ The [tooth called] سديس of the she-camel grew forth, i. e. in the eighth year. (S, L.) A2: Also, said of God, He made a tooth to grow forth. (S, L, K.) اللّٰهُ ↓ سَنَّهَا, [referring to the teeth of a بَدَنَة,] a phrase mentioned by KT, is a mistake [for أَسَنَّهَا]. (L.) b2: See also 1, in the former half of the paragraph, in two places.5 تسنّن بِهِ [He took him, or it, as an exemplar, example, or object to be imitated]. (K voce قُدْوَةٌ.) b2: تسنّن فِى عَدْوِهِ He (a man) went at random, heedlessly, or in a headlong manner, in his running; as also ↓ استنّ. (M, L.) A2: See also 5 in art. سنه, last signification.6 تَسَانَّتِ الفُحُولُ i. q. تَكَادَمَت [meaning The stallion-camels bit one another with the fore part of the mouth]. (L, K.) 8 استنّ He rubbed and cleaned his teeth with the سِوَاك [or piece of stick used for that purpose]; (S, M, L, K;) he made use of the سِوَاك, passing it over his teeth. (L.) b2: And He took, or seized, with the teeth. (KL.) A2: استنّت العَيْنُ The eye poured forth its tears. (M, L.) b2: استنّ said of the blood of a wound made with a spear or the like, It issued in a gush. (Az, L.) b3: Said of the سَرَاب [or mirage], It was, or became, in a state of commotion, went to and fro, or quivered. (M, L, K.) b4: Said of a horse, i. q. قَمَصَ [app. as meaning He pranced, leaped, sprang, or bounded]: (S, K:) he frisked; or was brisk, lively, or sprightly: he ran, in his friskiness, briskness, liveliness, or sprightliness, in one direction: he ran, by reason of his friskiness, briskness, liveliness, or sprightliness, a heat, or two heats, without a rider upon him: (L:) he ran to and fro, by reason of briskness, liveliness, or sprightliness: from سَنَّ as signifying “ he poured forth ” water, and as signifying “ he sharpened ”

iron upon a whetstone. (Har p. 47.) It is said in a prov., اِسْتَنَّتِ الفِصَالُ حَتَّى القَرْعَى, (S, Meyd, L,) or الفُصْلَانُ, (Meyd,) i. e. The young weaned camels leaped, sprang, or bounded; (S * L;) even those affected with the small pustules called قَرَع; (Meyd, L;) which are small white pustules, the remedy for which is salt, and the butter (جُبَاب) of camels' milk: (Meyd:) when the healthy young weaned camels do thus, those affected with such pustules do the like in imitation, but become disabled from doing it by weakness: the prov. is applied to the man who introduces himself among a people, or party, to whom he does not belong: (L:) or to him who speaks with one before whom he should not speak by reason of the greatness of his rank: and some related it differently, saying, القُرَيْعَى [which is the dim. of القَرْعَى]; (Meyd;) and القُرْعُ [which is pl. of الأَقْرَعُ, q. v.]: and some say that استنّت الفِصَالُ signifies the young weaned camels became fat, or plump, and their skins became [sleek] like مَسَانّ [or whetstones]. (L.) And it is said in a trad. of 'Omar, رَأَيْتُ

أَبَاهُ يَسْتَنُّ بِسَيْفِهِ كَمَا يَسْتَنُّ الجَمَلُ, meaning [I saw his father] exulting with briskness, liveliness, or sprightliness, and brandishing his sword, [like as the camel exults with briskness, and lashes with his tail.] (L.) See also 5. b5: [Also He took, held, or followed, the سَنَن, i. e., road, or way, or main and middle part thereof: and he, or it, was, or lay, in the way. Hence,] one says, خُذْ مَا اسْتَنَّ, meaning [Take thou what lies in the way;] what is easily attainable; what offers itself without difficulty. (AA, TA voce اِنْتَدَبَ.) b6: See also 1, near the end of the paragragh, in two places.10 إِسْتَسْنَ3َ see 4: A2: and see also 1, near the end of the paragraph, in two places. b2: اِسْتَسَنَّتِ الطَّرِيقُ The road was travelled. (K.) R. Q. 1 سَنْسَنَتِ الرِّيحُ The wind blew coldly, or coolly; as also نَسْنَسَت: so in the Nawádir. (L.) سِنٌّ i. q. ضِرْسٌ [as meaning A tooth; in which sense this latter word is often used; though it is frequently restricted to a molar tooth, or to any of the teeth except the central incisors]: (M, L, K:) [or, accord. to some, a single tooth; i. e. one that is not of the double, or molar, kind; as shown by a description in what follows:] of the fem. gender: (S, M, L, Msb:) pl. أَسْنَانٌ (S, M, L, Msb, K) and أَسِنَّةٌ and أَسُنٌّ, (M, L, K,) the last of these mentioned by Lh, and this and the second anomalous; (M, L;) or the second is allowable as pl. of the first of these pls.; (S;) or it is pl. of the سِنَان of the spear; but may also be pl. of أَسْنَانٌ as pl. of سِنٌّ applied to herbage upon which camels pasture, in an instance to be cited in what follows: (A'Obeyd, T, L:) the vulgar say إِسْنَان and أُسْنَان, which are wrong: (Msb:) the أَسْنَان of a human being consist of four ثَنَايَا, and four رَبَاعِيَات, and four أَنْيَاب, and four نَوَاجِذ, and sixteen أَضْرَاس: or, as some say, four ثنايا, and four رباعيات, and four انياب, and four نواجذ, and four ضَوَاحِك, and twelve أَرْحَآء: (Msb:) or the أَسْنَان and أَضْرَاس together make up the number of thirty-two; the ثنابا are four, two above and two below [in the middle]; next are the رباعيات, which are four, two above and two below; next are the انياب, which are four [likewise, two above and two below]; and next are the اضراس, which are twenty, on each side five above and five below; and of these [last] the four that are next to the انياب are the ضواحك; next to each ناب, above and below, is a ضَاحِك; next to the ضواحك are the طَوَاحِن, also called the أَرْحَآء, which are twelve, on each side [above and below] three; and next to these are the نواجذ, which are the last of the teeth in growth, and the last of the اضراس, on each side of the mouth one above and one below: (Zj in his “ Khalk el-Insán: ”) the dim. of سِنٌّ is ↓ سُنَيْنَةٌ, because it is fem. (S.) One says, لَا آتِيكَ سِنَّ الحِسْلِ, (S, M, L,) i. e. I will not come to thee as long as remains the tooth of the young one of the [kind of lizard called]

ضَبّ; (M, L;) meaning, ever; (S, M, * L;) because the حسل never sheds a tooth: (S, L:) or, as Lh relates it, on the authority of ElMufaddal, سِنَّىْ حِسْلٍ; [using the dual form of سِنٌّ;] and [it may be rendered, accord. to the former reading, (assumed tropical:) during the life of the young one of the ضّب, for] he says, they assert that the ضبّ lives three hundred years, and that it is the longest-lived creeping thing upon the earth. (M, L.) A poet (Aboo-Jarwal El-Jushamee, whose name was Hind, L) says, describing camels taken as a bloodwit, فَجَآءَتْ كَسِنِّ الظَّبْىِ لَمْ أَرَ مِثْلَهَا بَوَآءَ قَتِيلٍ أَوْ حَلُوبَةَ جَائِعِ [And they came; (assumed tropical:) like the age of the gazelle was the age of every one of them: I have not seen the like of them for an equivalent of a slain person, or a milch camel of one hungry: (I have given a reading of this verse that I have found in the M and TA in art. ظبى, instead of that in the present art. in the S and L, in which سنآءَ and سَنَآءَ are put in the place of بَوَآءَ app. for سِنَآءَ, an inf. n. of سَانَاهُ, and as such here meaning a soothing, or the like:)] he means that they were ثُنْيَان, [pl. of ثَنِىٌّ], because the ثَنِىّ is one shedding [or that has shed] his ثَنِيَّة, and the gazelle has no ثَنِيَّة [in the upper jaw], so that he is always [one that may be termed] a ثَنِىّ. (S, L.) It is said in a trad., إِذَا سَافَرْتُمْ فِى الخِصْبِ فَأَعْطُوا الرُّكُبَ

أَسِنَّتَهَا, [expl. as] meaning When ye journey in the land abounding with herbage, enable ye the ridden beasts to take of the pasturage: (S, L:) but Az states that A'Obeyd says, I know not أَسِنَّة except as pl. of the سِنَان of the spear; and if the trad. be [correctly] preserved in memory, it seems to be pl. of أَسْنَان; for سِنٌّ [sometimes] signifies the [portion of] herbage upon which camels pasture; and its pl. is أَسْنَانٌ; one says, أَسْنَانٌ مِنَ المَرْعَى; and the pl. of أَسْنَانٌ is أَسِنَّةٌ: Aboo-Sa'eed says that this last is pl. of سِنَانٌ, not of أَسْنَانٌ, and ↓ سِنَانٌ is applied to the [plants, or trees, called] حَمْض, as meaning (assumed tropical:) a strengthener [i. e. a sharpener of the appetite] of the camels for the [plants, or trees, called] خُلَّة: [see a phrase in the earlier part of the first paragraph:] in like manner, also, [he says,] when they light upon what is termed سِنٌّ مِنَ المَرْعَى [a portion of pasturage], this is termed عَلَى السَّيْرِ ↓ سِنَانٌ [a strengthener, or sharpener, for journeying]: this explanation is approved by Az, and likewise that of A'Obeyd: it is also related, on the authority of Fr, that السِّنُّ signifies the eating vehemently: [a signification mentioned in the K as well as in the L:] and Az says, I have heard more than one of the Arabs say, أَصَابَتِ الإِبِلُ اليَوْمَ سِنًّا مِنَ المَرْعَى

[The camels have obtained to-day a good portion of pasturage] when they have eaten well of the best of the pasturage: Z says that ↓ أَعْطُوا الرُّكُبَ أَسِنَّتَهَا means (assumed tropical:) Give ye to the ridden beasts what will prevent their being slaughtered; for when their owner pastures them well, they become fat, and goodly in his eye, and therefore he withholds himself, with niggardliness, from slaughtering them, and this [condition of them] is likened to أَسِنَّة [as meaning “ spear-heads ”] pl. of سِنَانٌ: [see also أَخَذَتْ رِمَاحَهَا, said of camels, voce رُمْحٌ:] or if the pl. of سِنٌّ be intended by it, the meaning is, enable ye them [i. e. the ridden beasts] to take of the pasturage; and hence the trad., أَعْطُوا السِّنَّ حَظَّهَا مِنَ السِّنِّ, i. e. Give ye the possessors of the سِنّ [meaning tooth] their share of the سِنّ which is the pasture. (L.) السِّنُّ is also used for ذَوَاتُ السِّنِّ [The possessors of the tooth] as meaning the slave and horses and the like and other animals, [collectively, in like manner as خُفٌّ and حَافِرٌ are used,] in a trad. of 'Omar. (L.) And it is said in a trad. of Ibn-Dhee-Yezen, لَأُوطِئَنَّ أَسْنَانَ العَرَبِ كَعْبَهُ, for ذَوِى أَسْنَانِ العَرَبِ, meaning [I will assuredly make] the great men and the nobles [of the Arabs to tread upon his ankle]. (L.) [But اسنان in this instance may be pl. of سِنٌّ in the sense here next following; so that ذوى اسنان may be rendered the advanced in age.]) b2: Hence, (L,) (tropical:) Life; (S, M, L, Msb;) metaphorically used in this sense as indicative of its length and its shortness; (L;) [for the teeth vary with the length of life;] the measure, (K,) or extent, of life; (Msb, K;) [the age attained;] used in relation to human beings and others: (M, L, K:) of the fem. gender in this sense also, (M, L, Msb,) because meaning مُدَّةٌ: (Msb:) pl. أَسْنَانٌ, (M, L, K,) only. (M, L.) You say رَجُلٌ حَدِيثُ السِّنِّ, meaning (assumed tropical:) A young man. (S, Msb, K, all in art. حدث.) And جَاوَزْتُ أَسْنَانَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِى (assumed tropical:) [I have exceeded] the lives of the people of my house. (L.) And صَدَقَنِى سِنَّ بَكْرِهِ [and سِنُّ بَكْرِهِ, expl. in art. بكر]. (L.) b3: And (assumed tropical:) A like, an equal, or a match, in age, of another; (M, L, K;) like تِنٌّ; (M, L;) as also ↓ سَنِينٌ, (M, L, K,) and ↓ سِنِينٌ, (L,) or ↓ سَنينَةٌ: (M, K:) in this sense also fem.; and [therefore] the dim. is ↓ سُنَيْنَةٌ; (L;) one says, اِبْنِى سُنَيْنَةُ ابْنِكَ [My son is the equal in age of thy son]: (El-Kanánee, L:) and the pl. is أَسُنٌّ and أَسْنَانٌ. (L.) b4: Also (assumed tropical:) A tooth of a مِنْجَل [or reaping-hook]: (M, L, K: *) pl. أَسْنَانٌ, signifying its أُشُر. (L and K in art. اشر.) b5: [And (assumed tropical:) A tooth of a comb.] The Arabs say كَأَسْنَانِ المُشْطِ meaning (assumed tropical:) [Like the teeth of the comb] in equality, in respect of any state, or condition: but if they mean equality in respect of evil, they say سَوَاسِيَةٌ كَأَسْنَانِ الحِمَارِ [Equals like the teeth of the ass]; سواسية being an anomalous pl. of سَوَآءٌ. (Har p. 39.) b6: and (assumed tropical:) The nib, i. e. the place of paring, of a writingreed: (S, L, K:) [and each lateral half of that part; for] the writing-reed has a right سِنّ and a left سِنّ: (TA in art. حرف:) [and ↓ سِنَّةٌ occurs in the K voce جِلْفَةٌ as meaning the point of a writing-reed.] One says, أَطِلْ سِنَّ قَلَمِكَ وَسَمِّنْهَا وَحَرِّفْ قِطَّتَكَ وَأَيْمِنْهَا [Make long the nib, or pared portion, of thy writing-reed, and make it thick (lit. fat), and make thy mode of cutting the extremity of the nib oblique, and make it to incline towards the right]. (S, L. *) b7: A tooth [or pin] of a key [app. of the kind of wooden lock called ضَبَّة, q. v.].

لب

1 لَبڤ3َ [لَبَّ, originally لَبِبَ,] sec. per. لَبِبْتَ, (S, K,) the most common form of the verb, (TA,) and [لَبَّ, originally لَبُبَ, like حَبَّ, originally حَبُبَ, q. v.,] sec. Pers\. لَبُبْتَ, aor. ـَ (S, K,) in the dial. of El-Hijáz, deviating from rule as aor. of the latter form of the verb; (TA;) inf. n. لَبَابَةٌ (S, K) and لِبٌّ and لَبٌّ; (TA;) and لَبَّ, aor. ـِ in the dial. of Nejd; like فَرَّ, aor. ـِ (TA;) and [لَبَّ], sec. Pers\. لَبِبْتَ, aor. ـُ [contr. to analogy;] (Yz;) and [لَبَّ], sec. Pers\.

لَبُبْتَ, aor. ـُ [agreeably with analogy;] (Yoo;) He was, or became, possessed of لُبّ, i. e., understanding, intellect, or intelligence. See لُبٌّ. (S, K.) It has been said by some (as the authors of the T, the S, &c.) that لَبُبْتَ, aor. ـَ has not its like among the class of reduplicative verbs; i. e., in being of the measure فَعُلَ in the pret., and يَفْعَلُ in the aor. : but three similar verbs have been mentioned; namely, دَمُمْتَ, شَرُرْتَ, and عَزُزَتِ الشَّاةُ (meaning “ the ewe, or goat, became scant in her milk ”). (TA.) [This, however, is a mistake: the assertion relates to لَبُبْتَ having for its aor. (regularly) تَلُبُّ: see دَمَّ, aor. ـُ A2: لَبَّ, aor. ـِ and ↓ لَبْلَبَ; He (a goat, and sometimes ↓ لبلب is used in the same sense with reference to a buck-antelope,) uttered a cry, or sound, at rutting-time. (TA.) A3: لَبَّ اللَّوْزَ He broke the almond and took forth its kernel. (TA.) b2: لَبَّهُ, (K,) sec. Pers\. لَبَبْتُ, aor. ـُ inf. n. لَبٌّ, (S,) He struck him upon the part called the لَبَّة; (S, K;) i. e., the pit above the breast, between the collar-bones; the place where camels are stabbed. (TA.) A4: لَبَّ, aor. ـُ It (a house) faced, was opposite to, or stood over against, another house. (Kh, S, K.) A5: See 4.2 لبّب, inf. n. تَلْبِيبٌ, He (a man warning, or admonishing, a people, and crying out for aid,) put his quiver and his bow upon his neck, and then grasped his own clothes at the upper part of his bosom: ex.

إِنَّا إِذَا الدَّاعِى اعْتَرَى وَلَبَّبَا [Verily we, when a caller comes seeking a kind office, and puts his quiver &c.]: (Lth:) or لبّب here signifies تَرَدَّدَ: see above. (TA.) b2: He drew together his garments at his bosom and breast, in altercation, or contention, and then dragged him along. (S, K.) b3: Also, He put round his neck a rope, or a garment, and held him with it. (TA.) A2: See also 5, and تَلْبِيبٌ

A3: لبّب It (grain) got a لُبّ, or heart, (S, K,) an edible heart. (TA.) A4: لبّب, inf. n. تَلْبِيبٌ, He went backwards and forwards, or to and fro; went and came: syn. تَرَدَّدَ. (K.) ISd says, This is related, but I know not what it is. (TA.) See below.4 البّ بِالمَكَانِ, inf. n. إِلْبَابٌ; (ISk, S, K;) and ↓ لَبَّ بِهِ, [aor. ـُ inf. n. لَبٌّ; (Kh, S, K;) He remained, stayed, abode, or dwelt, in the place; (S, K;) kept to it. (S.) Hence, says Fr., the expression لَبَّيْكَ, q. v. infra. (S, K.) b2: البّ عَلَى الأَمْرِ He kept to the thing, or affair. (TA.) A2: البّ It (growing corn, &c.) had, bore, or produced, the edible substance in the grain: like احبّ. (S.) A3: البّ لَهُ الشَّىْءُ The thing appeared to him: syn. عَرَضَ. (K.) A4: أَلْبَبْتُ السَّرْجَ I made a لَبَب (or breast-leather) to the saddle. (TA.) b2: أَلْبَبْتُ الدَّابَّةَ I put a لَبَب (or breast-leather) on the beast of carriage; (S, K;) as also ↓ لَبَبْتُهَا, aor. ـُ (K.) 5 تلبّبت بِمِنْطَقَتِهَا [app. a mistake for بِمِنْطَقِهَا] She (a woman) put one end of her scarf over her left shoulder, and drew forth the middle of it from beneath her right arm, and covered with it her bosom, and put the other end also over her left shoulder. (TA.) b2: تلبّب He raised his clothes, or tucked them up: (K:) he girded himself, and raised, or tucked up, his clothes; (S;) a signification assigned in the A to ↓ لَبَّبَ: he girded himself with his garment about his bosom; or wrapped it round him at his bosom: he drew together his garments: he girded himself with a weapon &c.: he armed himself, and raised, or tucked up, his clothes for fight: (TA:) he bound his waist with a rope. (S, in art. حزم.) b3: تَلَبَّبَ الــرَّجُلَــانِ The two men seized each other at the part called لَبَّة. (TA.) A2: تلبّب الوَادِى (tropical:) He took his way through the valley: and, in like manner, ↓ لبّبوا and ↓ استلبّوا they took their way through it. (A.) 10 استلبّهُ He made trial of his understanding, or intelligence. See لُبٌّ.

A2: And see 5.

R. Q. 1 لَبْلَبَةٌ, [inf. n. of لَبْلَبَ,] The being tender, affectionate, kind, or compassionate, to offspring. (S, K.) b2: لَبْلَبَتْ عَلَى وَلَدِهَا, inf. n. as above, She (a ewe) was tender, or affectionate, to her young one, and licked it, when she brought it forth, (S, K,) making a sound like لِبْ لِبْ. (TA.) b3: See 1. b4: لَبْلَبَ عَلَيْهِ, inf. n. as above, He was kind, or compassionate, to him; i. e., to a man: he was kind, or affectionate, to him, and aided, or succoured, him. (TA.) A2: لَبْلَبَ It was separated, dispersed, or scattered. (AA, T, K.) (The inf. n., لبلبة, is explained by تَفَرُّقٌ: but I think it not improbable that this is a mistake for تَرَفُّقٌ; and that the meaning is, He was gentle, courteous, or kind.]

لَبٌّ inf. n. of لَبَّ “ he remained, &c. ” b2: لبَّيْكَ [At thy service! lit., Doubly at thy service!] (S, K, &c.) and لَبَّيْهِ [At his service: &c.]. (TA.) [See an ex. voce مَرْهُوبٌ. It is used in the present day like our phrase At thy service, and may well be thus rendered, or with the addition of time after time.] لبّيك is derived from أَلَبَّ [or rather from لَبَّ as syn. with البّ] “ he remained &c. ”; and means I wait intent upon thy service, or upon obedience to thee: (Fr, S, K;) waiting [at they service] after waiting; [i. e., time after time;] and answering [thy commands] after answering: (K:) it [i. e. the noun without the annexed pron.] is put in the acc. case as an inf. n. [used as an absolute complement of its own verb which is understood], as in حَمْدًا لِلّٰهِ وشُكْرًا; and the right way would be to say لَبًّا لَكَ; but it is put in the dual number for the sake of corroboration; meaning إِلْبَابًا بِكَ بَعْدَ إِلْبَابٍ, and إِقَامَةً بَعْدَ إِقَامَةٍ, [waiting at thy service, or in attendance upon thee, or in thy presence, after waiting, or time after time]. (Fr, S.) [See also the similar expression سَعْدَيْكَ.] Or لَبٌّ signifies the obeying, or serving; or obedience, or service; from the original signification of the “ remaining, staying, abiding, or dwelling,” [in a place]: the dual, in the nom. case, is لَبّانِ; and in the acc. and gen., لَبَّيْنِ; and the original meaning of لبيك is I have obeyed thee, or served thee, twice: [or I do obey thee, &c.:] the ن [of لبّين] being elided because of its being prefixed to the pron. (IAar.) Or لبّيك is from the saying دَارُ فُلَانٍ تَلُبُّ دَارِى “ the house of such a one faces my house ”; (Kh, S, K;) and the meaning is I present myself before thee, (or repair to thee, K,) doing what thou likest, answering thee [after answering, or time after time]: the ى is to form the dual number; and indicates that the noun is in the acc. case as an inf. n. [used as mentioned above]. (Kh, S.) Or it means My love [is given] to thee; from the expression اِمْرَأَةٌ لَبَّةٌ “ a woman loving (and affectionate, TA,) to her husband ”: so in the K: but the expression, as related on the authority of Kh, is أُمٌّ لَبَّةٌ; which is confirmed by a verse that he cites. (TA.) Or the meaning is إِخْلَاصِى لَكَ [My sincere service, or the like, (is given) to thee;] from the expression حَسَبٌ لُبَابٌ

“ pure nobility, or the like. ” (K.) Accord. to Yoo, لبّيك is a noun in the sing. number with the pron. annexed to it: this noun is originally لَبَّبٌ, of the measure فَعْلَلٌ: (not of the measure فَعَّلٌ, because this is rare in the language:) the the last ب is changed into ى to avoid the reduplication; and thus it becomes لَبَّىٌ: then the ى, being movent, and immediately preceded by fet-hah, is changed into ا; and it becomes لَبَّا [or لَبَّى, for the ى in this case is called ا]: then, being conjoined with ك in لبّيك, and with ه in لبّيه, its ا is changed into ى; after the same manner as you say إِلَيْكَ and عَلَيْكَ and لَدَيْكَ. (TA.) [But see what here follows.] b3: لَبَّىْ يَدَيْكَ is a phrase exactly similar to لبّيك, meaning At the service (or, lit. doubly at the service) of thy hands! and this is said, in the S, art. لبى to be at variance with the opinion of Yoo, given above; for, if لبّى were similar to إِلَى &c., being prefixed to a noun, not a pron., it would be لَبَّى يَدَيْكَ, not لَبَّىْ.] Accord. to El-Khattá- bee, لبّى يديك signifies May thy hands be safe and sound! the desinential syntax being disregarded in the saying يديك, which rightly should be يَدَاكَ, in order that يديك may match in sound with لبّيك: but Z says, that the meaning is, I will obey thee, and be at thy free disposal, as a thing which thou shalt dispose of with thy hands in whatever manner thou shalt please. (TA.) b4: In like manner you say لَبَّىْ زَيْدٍ [At the service (or doubly at the service) of Zeyd]. (Msb.) See art. لبى. b5: لَبِّ, with kesreh for its termination, like أَمْس and غَاقِ, is also related as having been used: (Sb:) [and it is still used in some parts, as signifying At thy service!].

A2: لَبٌّ keeping, or adhering, [to a thing]: remaining, or staying. (K.) b2: A camel-driver who keeps constantly to the work of driving the camels, not leaving them. (TA.) b3: رَجُلٌ لَبٌّ A man who keeps to a thing, or affair, or business; as also ↓ لَبِيبٌ; (S, K;) a man who keeps to his art, or craft, or trade, not ceasing from it. (TA.) b4: رجلٌ لَبٌّ طَبٌّ A man who keeps to business, [and is skilful, expert, clever, or intelligent]. (S, TA.) A3: لَب One who renders himself near to people by affection and friendship [or is friendly and affectionate to them]: courteous, polite, or affable: fem. لَبَّةٌ: pl. لِبَابٌ. (TA.) b2: اِمْرَأَةٌ لَبَّةٌ A woman who renders herself near by affection and friendship [or is friendly and affectionate], to people; (S;) courteous, polite, or affable: (S, K:) a woman loving to her husband; (K;) affectionate to him: or, accord. to Kh, the expression is أُمٌّ لَبَّةٌ: see لَبٌّ, above. (TA.) لُبٌّ (S, K) and ↓ لُبَابٌ (Msb) of a nut, an almond, and the like, What is in the inside; (S;) the heart, or kernel: (K:) of a palm-tree, the heart, or pith, called قَلْبٌ or قُلْبٌ. (S, K.) Pl. of the former لُبُوبٌ. (S.) b2: لُبٌّ (S, K) and ↓ لُبَابٌ (TA) What is pure, or the choice, or best, part, of anything: (S, K:) pl. of the former أَلْبَابٌ. (A'Obeyd.) b3: لُبُّ الحِنْطَةِ [The purest substance of wheat: see فَالُوذٌ:] (T, L, art. فلذ &c:) [also called البُرِّ ↓ لُبَابُ, acc. to Sprenger, “Life of Mohammad,” (Allahabad, 1851,) p. 24, note 1.] b4: [Hence,] لُبٌّ of a man, (TA,) (tropical:) Understanding; intellect; intelligence; or mind; syn. عَقْلٌ: (S, K:) the understanding, &c., that is put into the heart of a man: so called because it is the choicest or best part of him: or it is not so called unless it is pure from cupidity, or lust, and foul imaginations; and therefore has a more special sense than عقل: so in the Keshf el-Keshsháf: (TA:) pl. أَلْبَابٌ, and sometimes أَلُبٌّ; (S, K;) like as أَبْؤُسٌ is pl. of بُؤْسٌ, and أَنْعُمٌ of نُعْمٌ; (S;) and أَلْبُبٌ; (S, K;) the last being used, without incorporating the second ب into the first, in case of necessity in poetry. (S.) b5: بَنَاتُ أَلْبُبٍ Certain veins in the heart; the sources of tenderness, affection, kindness, or compassion. (S, K.) b6: تَأْبَى لَهُ ذٰلِكَ بَنَاتُ أَلْبُبِى

[My tenderness forbids the doing so to him]: said by an Arab woman of the desert, on the occasion of her reproving her son, to one who asked her why she did not curse him. (S.) b7: أَلْقَى عَلَيْهِ بَنَاتَ أَلْبُبِهِ He loved it. (L, art. شر.) b8: The following words of the poet, قَدْ عَلِمَتْ ذَاكَ بَنَاتُ أَلْبُبِهْ signify, accord. to the M, My intellect knew that. (TA.) El-Mubarrad read أَلْبَبِهْ in the above words of the poet: (TA:) the meaning of these words, accord. to him, is, The daughters of the most intelligent of his tribe knew this. (S, TA.) b9: If you form a pl. from [the pl.] أَلْبُبٌ, it is أَلَابِبُ; and the dim. n. is أُلَيْبِبٌ. (S.) b10: ذُو لُبٍّ Possessing, having, or a person of, understanding, or intelligence: pl. أُولُوا الْأَلْبَابِ [persons of understandings]. (TA.) See also لَبِيبٌ and مَلْبُوبٌ. b11: لُبٌّ (assumed tropical:) The self, substance, or essence, of anything. (TA.) A2: Poison: (K:) the poison of the serpent is sometimes thus called. (Abu-l-Hasan, L.) A3: لُبٌّ, in the dial. of El-Andalus and El-'Adweh, A certain beast of prey, resembling the wolf, said by AHei not to exist in other countries. (TA.) لَبَبٌ: see لَبَّةٌ. b2: The breast-girth, or thing that is bound over the breast of a beast, (or a she-camel, S,) to prevent the saddle from slipping back: (S, K:) it is an appertenance to the camel's saddle and to the horse's: (ISd, and others:) pl. أَلْبَابٌ: (S, K:) its only pl.

A2: A thin tract, or portion, of sand, (S, K,) that has descended from the main heap, and is between the hard and even, and the rugged, parts of the earth: (TA:) or such as is near to an oblong tract of sand: (T:) or لَبَبُ كَثِيبٍ signifies the fore part of a sand-hill. (TA.) El-Ahmar says, The largest quantity of sand is called عَقَنْقَلٌ; what is less than this, كَثِيبٌ; what is still less, عَوْكَلٌ; what is still less, سِقْطٌ; what is still less, عَدَابٌ; and what is still less, لَبَبٌ. (S.) لَبَّةٌ and ↓ لَبَبٌ The stabbing-place in an animal; (S, L, K;) the middle of the breast: (L:) the pit above the breast, between the collar-bones; the place where camels are stabbed: (see لَبَّهُ:) or the bones [probably a mistake for the part next above the bones] that are above the breast, and below the throat, between the collar-bones, where camels are stabbed: he who says that it is the pit in the throat errs: (IKt:) [for it is just beneath the throat:] pl. of the former لَبَّاتٌ (S) and لِبَابٌ; and of the latter أَلْبَابٌ. (TA.) Also, both words, (the latter ↓ accord. to the S and K, and the former accord. to the TA,) and ↓ مُتَلَبَّبٌ, (TA,) The place of the breast where the necklace or collar lies, or hangs, (S, K,) in anything; (S;) [i. e., in a human being or a beast:] or the pit above it: (TA:) pl. of لَبَبٌ, أَلْبَابٌ. (S.) Lh mentions the phrase إِنَّهَا لَحَسَنَهُ اللَّبَّاتِ [Verily she is beautiful in the upper part of the breast]: as though the sing. were applied to each portion of it, and the pl. formed to denote the whole.

ISd thinks it to be from a preceding meaning; [that of “ keeping, or adhering ”;] observing that when one dispels evil from another, he [the latter] loves to adhere to him: [so that it seems to be an imp. verbal n., like نَزَالِ &c., meaning keep with me, and fear not].

حَرَامٌ وَإِنِّى بَعْدَ ذَاكِ لَبِيبُ by بعد ذاك is meant مع ذاك; and by لبيب, مُقِيم, (remaining, or staying,) or, accord. to some, مُلَبٍّ, from التَّلْبِيَة: see art. لبى. (S.) لَبَابَةٌ: see لَبَابٌ.

لِبَابَةٌ What is worn by the مُتَلَبِّب [app. meaning him who girds himself, and raises or tucks up his clothes, and arms himself, for fight]: (TA:) [A garment which he who prepares himself for fight puts on over other garments.

تَلْبِيبٌ The portion of the clothes that is at the part called لَبَب: a subst., like تَمْتِينٌ: (K:) pl. تَلَابِيبُ. (TA.) b2: أَخَذَ بِتَلْبِيبِهِ He drew together his clothes at the bosom, and seized him, dragging him along: (T:) he took him by the لَبَّة: you also say اخذ بِتَلَابِيبِهِ. (TA.) See also 2 and 5.

عو

1 عَوَى, aor. ـْ inf. n. عُوَآءٌ (S, K, TA) and عَىٌّ and عَوَّةٌ (K, TA) and عَوْيَةٌ, with fet-h and then sukoon, thus in the M, but in the copies of the K عَوِيَّةٌ, (TA,) said of a dog, (S, CK, TA,) and of a wolf, and of a jackal, (S, TA,) He cried, or cried loudly: (S:) [meaning he howled:] he twisted his muzzle, then uttered a cry: or he prolonged his cry, not doing so with clearness: and ↓ اعتوى signifies the same: (K, TA:) [in the Ham p. 693, the former is expl. as signifying نَبَحَ and صَاحَ; but] it is said that عَوَّةٌ signifies a prolonged crying; and is not the same as نَبْحٌ [which means “ a barking ”]. (TA.) It is said in a prov. لَوْ لَكَ أَعْوِى مَا عَوَيْتُ [If to thee I were howling, I had not howled]; (TA;) or لَوْ لَكَ عَوَيْتُ لَمْ أَعْوِهْ, in which the ه may be the ه of pausation, or it may be put by metonymy for the inf. n. so that the meaning is لَمْ أَعْوِ العُوَآءَ: (Meyd:) it originated from the fact that a man used, [and still uses, as I have had occasion to do,] when becoming benighted, in the desert, to howl, in order that the dogs, if any person by whose presence he might be cheered were near him, might hear, and reply to him, and he might be guided by their howling: so this man howled, and the wolf came to him, whereupon he said thus: it relates to the seeker of succour from him who will not succour him. (Meyd, * TA.) And it is said in a trad., كَأَنِّى أَسْمَعُ عُوَآءَ أَهْلِ النَّارِ i. e. (assumed tropical:) [As though I heard] the crying or loud crying [or howling] of the people of the fire [of Hell]: (TA:) [for] عَوَىَ is used metaphorically as meaning he suffered distress, and complained; from the عُوَآء of the dog: (Har p. 634:) as IAth says, it is more especially used in relation to the wolf and the dog. (TA.) And one says of him who is esteemed, or found to be, weak, مَا يَعْوِى

وَمَا يَنْبَحُ (assumed tropical:) [He does not howl nor does he bark]. (Ham p. 693.) b2: And عَوَى إِلَى الفِتْنَةِ means (assumed tropical:) He called (K, TA) people, or a party, (TA,) [to conflict and faction, or the like;] عَوَى being used in this sense by way of likening the person who does so to a dog, or in contempt of him. (Ham p. 693.) [See also 10.] b3: عُوَآءٌ signifies also The grumbling cry (رُغَآء) of a weak young camel: used in this sense by a poet. (TA.) b4: عُوَآءُ المُغْتَابِ; and the phrase عَوَى عَنِ الــرَّجُلِ; see in the next paragraph.

A2: عَوَى, (S, K, TA,) inf. n. عَىٌّ, (S, TA,) He bent a thing; as also ↓ اعتوى; and likewise a bow; as also ↓ عوّى, (K, TA,) inf. n. تَعْوِيَةٌ: (TA:) and (TA) he twisted hair, and a rope; (S, TA;) as also ↓ عوّى, inf. n. تَعْوِيَةٌ. (S.) One says also عَوَى العِمَامَةَ عَيَّةً He twisted the turban with a single twisting. (TA.) And عَوَيْتُ رَأْسَ النَّاقَةِ I turned the head of the she-camel by means of the nose-rein. (S, TA.) And القَوْمُ صُدُورَ رِكَابهِمْ ↓ عوّى and عَوَوْهَا The party inclined the breasts of their camels that they were riding. (TA.) And عَوَى البُرَةَ He bent, or inclined, the nose-ring of the she-camel. (K, * TA.) And النَّاقَةُ تَعْوِى بُرَتَهَا فِى سَيْرِهَا The she-camel twists her nose-ring with her خِطَام [or halter] in her going. (S, TA.) And عَوَاهُ عَنِ الشَّىْءِ He turned him from the thing. (TA.) And one says of the man who possesses prudence, or discretion, and precaution, or good judgment, and who is hardy, strong, or sturdy, ما ينهى ولا يعوى [i. e. مَا يُنْهَى وَلَا يُعْوَى He is not forbidden nor is he turned]. (TA.) b2: And عَوَى signifies also He (a man) attained to the age of thirty years, so that his arm, or hand, became strong, and he twisted vehemently the arm, or hand, of another. (ISd, K.) 2 عوّى عَنِ الــرَّجُلِ, thus in the M, with tesh-deed in the case of عوى and also in the case of كذب in the explanation; but in the K, ↓ عَوَى

[without teshdeed]; (TA;) (assumed tropical:) He repelled from the man, or defended him; syn. كَذَّبَ, and رَدَّ: (M, K, TA:) in the S is said the like of what is said in the M; عَوَّيْتُ عَنِ الــرَّجُلِ being expl. in the S as meaning (assumed tropical:) I repelled from, or defended, the man (كذّبت عنه), and replied against his backbiter or censurer (رَدَدْت عَلَى مُغْتَابِهِ): and in the A, this phrase is said to be metaphorical, and expl. as meaning (tropical:) I repelled from the man the clamouring [or, as we say, the barking] of the backbiter or the censurer (المُغْتَابِ ↓ رَدَدْت عَنْهُ عُوَآءَ): thus all these three are express authorities for the teshdeed. (TA.) [Freytag has represented the phrase in the S as agreeing with the reading thereof in the K, and has strangely expl. the verb with عن following it as meaning “ Mendacii arguit et refellit.”]

A2: See also 1, latter half, in three places.3 عاوى الكِلَابَ He cried, or cried loudly, [meaning he howled,] to the dogs, they doing so to him. (S, TA.) And [hence] عَاوَاهُمْ, (K, TA,) inf. n. مُعَاوَاةٌ, (TA,) He cried, or cried loudly, to them, [i. e. to men,] they doing so to him. (K, TA.) 6 تعاوت الكِلَابُ The dogs cried, or cried loudly, [meaning howled,] one to another. (TA.) b2: and تَعَاوَوْا عَلَيْهِ, (K, TA,) and تَغَاوَوْا, (TA,) They collected themselves together, (K, TA,) or aided one another, (TA,) against him. (K, TA.) 7 انعوى It became bent [or twisted]. (S, K.) 8 اعتوى: see 1, first sentence: A2: and the same also in the latter half.10 استعوى كَلْبًا [He incited a dog to cry, or cry loudly, or to howl]. (Esh-Sháfi'ee, TA in art. حمى.) b2: And اِسْتَعْوَاهُمْ He sought, or demanded, of them, aid, or succour: (K, TA:) or, accord. to the S, it means نَعَقَ بِهِمْ إِلَى الفِتْنَةِ [he urged them by clamour, or shouting, to conflict and faction, or the like]: (TA: [in one of my copies of the S, for إِذَا نَعَقَ بِهِمْ, the reading followed in the JM and PS as well as in the TA, I find اذا يُغْوِيهِمْ, which is app. a mistranscription: see also عَوَى إِلَى الفِتْنَةِ:]) accord. to Z, it means he desired, or demanded, of them, that they should cry, or cry loudly, behind him. (TA.) A2: اِسْتَعْوَيْتُهُ I desired, or demanded, of him, that he should twist hair, or a rope. (S.) R. Q. 1 عَاعَى, [mentioned in the K in this art., and also, but as unexplained, in art. عيع,] aor. ـَ inf. n. مُعَاعَاةٌ (K, TA) and عَاعَاةٌ; (TA;) and عَوْعَى, [app. the original form,] aor. ـَ (K, TA,) inf. n. عَوْعَاةٌ; (TA;) and عَيْعَى, aor. ـَ inf. n. عَيْعَاةٌ and عِيعَآءٌ [in some copies of the K عَيْعَآء]; He chid sheep by the cry عَا or عَوْ or عَاىْ (K, TA) or عَآءٌ. (TA.) عَا and عَوْ [in the CK عُو] and عَاىْ (K, TA) and عَآءْ (TA) are Cries by which sheep are chidden. (K, TA.) عَوٌّ: see العَوَّآءُ, last sentence.

عَوَّةٌ [mentioned in the first sentence of this art. as an inf. n.] A crying out, shouting, or clamouring; like ضَوَّةٌ: one says, سَمِعْتُ عَوَّةَ القَوْمِ i. e. [I heard] the cries, or shouts, or clamour, of the people, or party: so says Az, and As says the like. (S.) b2: See also العَوَّآءُ, last sentence. b3: Also A way-mark that is set up, composed of stones: mentioned by IDrd, but incorrectly as being with damm. (TA.) عُوَّةٌ: see the next paragraph, last sentence.

العَوَّآءُ (S, K) and العَوَّا (K) The dog (S, K) that howls (يَعْوِى) much. (S.) Hence the saying, عَلَيْهِ العَفَأءُ وَالكَلْبُ العَوَّآءُ [Upon him be the dust, and the howling dog]: a form of imprecation. (TA.) b2: And the latter signifies also The wolf. (TA.) b3: Also, both, (S, K, TA,) but the latter is the more common, and its ا is to denote the fem. gender, like that of حُبْلَى [in which it is written ى], the word being fem., (TA,) (tropical:) One of the Mansions of the Moon, (S, K, TA,) namely, the Thirteenth; (Kzw in his Descr. of the Mansions of the Moon;) consisting of five stars, (S, K,) said to be the haunch of the Lion [of which the Arabs, or some of them, extended the figure (as they did also that of the Scorpion) far beyond the limits that we assign to it: see ذِرَاعٌ]: (S:) or four stars [g, d, e and h, of Virgo], (K, and Kzw ubi suprà,) behind الصَّرْفَة [q. v.], (Kzw ibid.,) resembling an alif (K, Kzw) with the lower part turned back, in the Koofee handwriting [in which it is nearly like the Roman L (see زَاوِيَةٌ, in art. زوى)]; (Kzw ibid;) also called عُرْقُوبُ الأَسَدِ; (TA, as from the S, in my copies of which I do not find this;) they regard it as dogs following the Lion; and some say that it is the haunches of the Lion; (Kzw ubi suprà;) accord. to the A, it is thus called because it rises [a mistake for sets, aurorally, (see مَنَازِلُ القَمَرِ, in art. نزل,)] in the tail, or latter part, of the cold, as though it were howling (كَأَنَّهُ يَعْوِى) after it, driving it away, wherefore they call it طَارُودَةُ البَرْدِ: (TA:) or it is an appellation applied by the Arabs to the star that is on the edge of the left shoulder of Virgo, which is the Thirteenth Mansion of the Moon: or, accord. to some, the stars that are upon her belly and beneath her armpit; as though they were dogs howling (تَعْوِى) behind the Lion; so called because of the vehemence of the cold; for when they rise or set [aurorally], they bring cold. (Kzw in his Descr. of Virgo.) And (assumed tropical:) [The constellation Bootes;] a northern constellation, called also الصَّيَّاحُ, consisting of two and twenty stars within the figure, and one without it; the figure being that of a man having in his right hand a staff, between the stars of الفَكَّةُ and بَنَاتُ نَعْشٍ: the one that is without the figure is a red, bright star, between his thighs, [i. e. Arcturus,] called السِّمَاكُ الرَّامِحُ, and, by the Arabs, حَارِسُ السَّمَآءِ and حَارِسُ الشَّمَالِ, because it is always seen in the sky, not becoming concealed beneath the rays of the sun. (Kzw in his Descr. of the Northern Constellations.) b4: Also, (K,) or the former word, (TA,) [The aged she-camel;] the نَاب of camels; (K, TA;) on the authority of AA. (TA.) b5: Also, both words, (K,) the former and sometimes the latter, (S,) the former said by Az to be the more common, but MF says that the latter is the more chaste, for the former was by AAF absolutely disallowed, (TA,) The سَافِلَة, (S,) or اِسْت, (K,) [each here app. meaning anus,] of a human being; (S;) app. from عَوَى, aor. ـْ signifying “ he cried,” or “ cried loudly:” (TA:) as also ↓ عُوَّةٌ (IDrd, K, TA) and ↓ عَوَّةٌ, (Lth, K, TA,) of which last the pl. is ↓ عَوٌّ [or rather this is a coll. gen. n.] and [the pl. properly so termed is] عَوَّاتٌ: but IAar is said to have expl.

العَوَّآءُ as meaning الأَسْتَاهُ [pl. of سَتَهٌ which is the original of اِسْتٌ]. (TA.) عَاوٍ [act. part. n. of عَوَى]. One says, مَا لَهُ عَاوٍ

وَلَا نَابِحٌ i. e. He has not belonging to him [a howler nor a barker, meaning sheep, or goats, among which the wolf howls and in the way to which the dog barks [to defend them]. (TA.) مُعَاوِيَةٌ A bitch excited by lust, (Lth, A, K, TA,) that howls (تَعْوِى) to the dogs when she is in that state, and to which they howl. (Lth, A, * TA.) b2: And A fox's cub. (K.) b3: And أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ is a surname of The فَهْد [or lynx]. (K, TA.) b4: The dim. of مُعَاوِيَةٌ is مُعَيَّةٌ; (S, K, TA;) thus say the people of El-Basrah; for when three ى s occur together and the first of them is the characteristic of the dim., one of them is suppressed [by them]; (S, TA;) and مُعَيِّيَةٌ; (S, K, TA; [in the CK مُعَيْيَةٌ;]) thus say the people of El-Koofeh, not suppressing anything, after the manner of those who say أُسَيِّدٌ; (S, TA;) and مُعَيْوِيَةٌ, (S, K, TA, [in the CK مُعَيْوَةٌ,]) after the manner of those who say أُسَيْوِدٌ. (S, TA.)

1 غَمَّهُ, (S, Msb, K, &c.,) aor. ـُ (Msb,) inf. n. غَمٌّ, (Msb, TA,) He covered it, (S, Msb, K, TA,) veiled it, or concealed it; (TA;) namely, a thing: (Msb, K, TA:) this is the primary meaning. (TA.) [Hence,] one says, غُمَّ الهِلَالُ (S, Msb, K, TA) عَلَى النَّاسِ, (S, TA,) inf. n. غَمٌّ, (TA,) The new moon was veiled, or concealed, (S, Msb,) to the people, (S,) by clouds, or otherwise, (S, Msb,) or was intercepted by thin clouds, (K, TA,) or otherwise, (TA,) so that it was not seen. (S, Msb, TA.) It is said in a trad., فَإِنْ غُمَّ عَلَيْكُمْ فَأَكْمِلُوا العِدَّةَ, (Mgh, * Msb, TA,) i. e. And if it [the new moon] be veiled, &c., to you, then complete ye the reckoning of Shaabán, thirty [days], in order that the entering upon the fast of Ramadán may be with [inferential] knowledge. (Msb.) Az says that غُمَّ and أُغْمِىَ and غُمِىَ all signify the same: (TA:) and all three occur in the trad. above mentioned accord. to different relations thereof. (Mgh.) [See also 1 in art. غمى.] b2: And [hence] غَمَّ القَمَرُ النُّجُومَ The moon concealed the stars: or almost concealed the light of the stars. (TA.) b3: And غُمَّ عَلَيْهِ الخَبَرُ The information, or narration, was dubious, confused, or vague, to him; such as to be difficult to be understood; or such as not to be understood; (S, K;) like أُغْمِىَ: (S:) or was obscure, or unapparent, to him. (Msb.) b4: And غَمَّهُ, (S, K, TA,) aor. ـُ inf. n. غَمٌّ, (TA,) It (i. e. هَمّ [here meaning “ grief,”

see غَمٌّ below,]) covered [or was as though it covered] his heart: (Har p. 637:) or [accord. to common acceptation] it, or he, grieved him; or caused him to mourn or lament, or to be sorrowful or sad or unhappy; syn. أَحْزَنَهُ. (K, and Har p. 422. [See also 4.]) b5: غَمَّهُ, in which the pronoun relates to an ass, &c., (S, K, TA,) aor. ـُ inf. n. غَمٌّ, (TA,) means He put [as a covering] to his mouth and his nostrils the ↓ غِمَامَة, (S, K, TA,) which is a thing like the كِعَام [or muzzle], (so in the S and CK,) or a thing like the فِدَام [which seems to be here similar in meaning to كعام]: (so in other copies of the K:) or he put [as a covering] to his mouth a nose-bag, or the like, to prevent his feeding; and this is termed a ↓ غِمَامَة: (TA:) [the verb that I have rendered “ put to ” in these explanations is أَلْقَمَ, of which I do not find in its proper place any signification that would be exactly apposite in this case:] or ↓ غِمَامَةٌ signifies a sort of bag for the mouth of a camel and the like, (K, TA,) his mouth being put into it: (TA:) pl. غَمَائِمُ: (S, TA:) and one says, غَمَّهُ بِالغِمَامَةِ [he covered his mouth with the غمامة], aor. and inf. n. as above. (TA.) b6: غَمَّ الشَّىْءَ, aor. ـُ also signifies عَلَاهُ [app. as meaning It rose upon, or above, the thing, as though forming a covering over it]: mentioned on the authority of IAar, who cites [as an ex.] the saying of En-Nemir Ibn-Towlab, [app. describing a رَوْضَة, or meadow,] أُنُفٌ يَغُمُّ الضَّالُ نَبْتَ بِحَارِهَا [Not depastured, the trees called ضال rising upon, or above, the herbage of its fertile tracts, or its tracts near to water]. (TA.) See also 8.

A2: [غَمَّ is also intrans.: one says,] غَمَّ يَوْمُنَا, (S, K, TA,) inf. n. غَمٌّ and غُمُومٌ; (TA;) and ↓ أَغَمَّ; Our day was, or became, [sultry, or] intensely hot, (S, K, TA,) so that it took away, (S,) or almost took away, (TA,) the breath: (S, TA:) or both verbs, said of a day, and of the sky, mean it brought غَمّ [or distress that affected the breath or respiration], arising from closeness of heat, or clouds. (Msb.) A3: غَمَّ الشَّخْصُ, of the class of تَعِبَ, [the first Pers\. being غَمِمْتُ,] inf. n. غَمَمٌ, The person's hair of his head flowed down so that his forehead and the back of his neck were narrowed. (Msb.) [See also غَمَمٌ below.]3 غَامَمْتُهُ signifies غَمَمْتُهُ وَغَمَّنِى [I grieved him, or caused him to mourn or lament &c., and he grieved me, or caused me to mourn or lament &c.; or I grieved him &c., being grieved &c. by him]. (K.) 4 اغمّت السَّمَآءُ The sky became clouded: (K, as indicated by the context:) or i. q. تَغَيَّرَت [i. e., became altered]: thus in the S; but some say that it is correctly تَغَيَّمَت [agreeably with the former of the explanations above]. (TA.) See also 1, near the end.

A2: مَا أَغَمَّكَ لِى and إِلَىَّ is [an expression of wonder, meaning How great grief, or sadness, dost thou occasion to me!] from الغَمُّ signifying الحُزْنُ. (K, TA.) b2: [Accord. to the TK, أَغَمَّهُ signifies أَحْزَنَهُ; like غَمَّهُ: but this I think a mistake. b3: And Freytag explains أَغَمَّ as occurring in the Deewán of the Hudhalees signifying “ Demersit: ” but in which of its senses he uses this word he does not specify.]6 تغامّ He made a show of غَمّ [or grief, &c.,] without its being in the heart. (Har p. 126.) 7 انغمّ It (a thing, K) was, or became, covered, (S, K, TA,) veiled, or concealed. (TA.) b2: See also what next follows.8 اغتمّ He was, or became, grieved, or caused to mourn or lament, or to be sorrowful or sad or unhappy; (S, * K;) as also ↓ انغمّ: (K:) both mentioned by Sb. (TA.) b2: And, said of a plant, or herbage, It was, or became, tall, (K, TA,) and tangled, or luxuriant, (TA,) and abundant: (K, TA:) as also اعتمّ. (TA.) [And in like manner ↓ غَمَّ is expl. by Freytag as occurring in the Deewán of the Hudhalees, said of a plant, meaning It was tall and luxuriant.] b3: And, said of a man, He withheld himself from going out, or forth. (TA.) R. Q. 1 غَمْغَمَ, [inf. n. غَمْغَمَةٌ, He (a bull) uttered a cry, or cries, in fright; as also ↓ تَغَمْغَمَ: see غَمَغْمَةٌ below. b2: And] He (a courageous man) raised his voice conflict with his antagonist; (Har p. 531;) [as also ↓ تَغَمْغَمَ: see, again, غَمْغَمَةٌ below.] b3: And He [a man] spoke while taking a thing into his fauces, so that the hearer, or listener, did not understand what he was saying; (Har ubi suprà;) [or spoke indistinctly; agreeably with an explanation of غَمْغَمَةٌ below; as also ↓ تَغَمْغَمَ. b4: And, said of a bow, It produced a sound; agreeably with another explanation of غَمْغَمَةٌ below.] b5: Also, said of an infant, inf. n. غَمْغَمَةٌ, He wept over the breast, desiring the milk: [and the inf. n. is used as a simple subst., and therefore pluralized:] IAar cites as an ex., إِذَا المُرْضِعَاتُ بَعْدَ أَوَّلِ هَجْعَةٍ

↓ سَمِعْتَ عَلَى ثُدِيِّهِنَّ غَمَاغِمَا [When the suckling women, after the first light sleep in the beginning of the night, are in such a condition that thou hearest cryings over their breasts]; meaning, as he says, that the milk of these women is little in quantity, so that the sucking child weeps over the breast when sucking it. (TA.) R. Q. 2 تَغَمْغَمَ: see R. Q. 1, in three places: and see its inf. n. voce غَمْغَمَةٌ, below, in two places. b2: Said of one drowning (غَرِيق) beneath the water, it signifies He uttered a cry, or cries: or, as is said in the T, he was pressed upon by the waves above him: a poet uses it of Pharaoh when he was overwhelmed [in the sea]. (TA.) غَمٌّ [an inf. n. used as an epithet in which the quality of a subst. predominates,] Grief, mourning, lamentation, sorrow, sadness, or unhappiness; syn. حُزْنٌ; (Msb, K;) so called because it covers happiness and forbearance; (Msb;) or غَمّ in the heart is thus called because it veils, or precludes, happiness: (Ham p. 21:) [it may therefore be rendered gloominess of mind:] or i. q. كَرْبٌ, (K,) which signifies حُزْن, (K in art. كرب,) or غَمّ, (S, in that art.,) [that affects the breath or respiration, lit.] that takes away the breath; (S and K in that art.;) as also ↓ غَمَّآءُ (K) and ↓ غُمَّةٌ, (S, K,) the last [expl. in the S as syn. with كُرْبَةٌ, which is syn. with كَرْبٌ, and] mentioned by Lh: (TA:) [see also صَقَعٌ:] it is كَرْب [or grief, &c.,] that befalls the heart because of what has happened; differing from هَمٌّ, which is كرب that befalls because of annoyance, or harm, that is expected to happen: or, as some say, both are one [in meaning]: the differing is asserted by 'Iyád and [many] others: (TA:) [see also غَصَبٌ:] the pl. of غَمٌّ is غُمُومٌ. (S, K.) b2: It is also an inf. n. used as an epithet in the phrase يَوْمٌ غَمٌّ (S, TA) i. e. A day that is [sultry, or] intensely hot, so that it [almost] takes away the breath; and لَيْلَةٌ غَمٌّ [such a night], i. e. ↓ غَامَّةٌ: (S:) or one says يَوْمٌ غَمٌّ and ↓ غَامٌّ and ↓ مِغَمٌّ, (K, TA,) the last with kesr to the م, (TA,) [in the CK ↓ مُغِمٌّ,] meaning a day of heat, (K,) or of intense heat: (TA:) or a day of غَمّ [i. e. grief, &c.]: and [in a similar sense, as is implied by the context immediately preceding,] لَيْلَةٌ غَمٌّ and غَمَّةٌ and ↓ غَمَّى: (K:) [but] A'Obeyd mentions, on the authority of Az, ↓ لَيْلَةٌ غَمَّى and ↓ لَيْلَةٌ غَمَّةٌ as meaning a night in which there is over the sky [a covering of clouds, or] what is termed غَمْىٌ [a word belonging to art. غمى, being in measure] like رَمْىٌ; (S;) and [in the like sense] يَوْمٌ غَمٌّ. (So in one of my copies of the S.) b3: And one says, كَانَ عَلَى

السَّمَآءِ غم [app. غَمٌّ, but this, I think, requires confirmation, for which I have searched in vain,] and غمى [app. ↓ غَمَّى, or perhaps غَمْىٌ, a word mentioned above,] meaning There was over the sky a collection [or an expanse] of thin clouds, or a ضَبَابَة [i. e. mist, or the like], فَحَالَ دُونَ الهِلَالِ [and it intercepted the new moon]: and هٰذِهِ لَيْلَةُ

Zeyd is more reasonable than he who lies: but, though this is the virtual meaning, the proper explanation, accord. to modern usage, is, that أَنْ is here for أَنَّ with the adjunct pronoun هُ; for in a phrase of this kind, an adjunct pronoun is sometimes expressed; so that the aor. must be marfooa; and the literal meaning is, Zeyd is more reasonable than that he will lie; which is equivalent to saying, Zeyd is too reasonable to lie. It may be doubted, however, whether a phrase of this kind be of classical authority.

[in a thing, or an affair]: (L, Msb:) and بِأَمْرِهِ [in his affair]; meaning he obtained [absolute] predominance, or control, over his affair, so that people would not hear [or obey] any other. (A.) It is said in a trad., كُنَّا نَرَي أَنَّ لَنَافِىِ هٰذَا الأَمْرِ حَقَّا فَاسْتَبَدْتُمْ عَلَيْنَا [We used to opine that we had a right to act in this affair, and ye have been alone the actors, predominant over us].

بُدٌ as signifying A separating oneself, or an artifice whereby one may avoid a thing or escape from it, (MF,) or an avoiding a thing, (Msb,) is not used but in negative phrases, (Msb, MF,) except by post-classical writers. (MF.) You say, لَا بُدَّ مِنْ كَذَا (T, S, M, &c.) There is no separating oneself from such a thing: (AA, T, S, A, K:) or there is no artifice whereby one may avoid it, or escape from it: (M, K:) or there is no avoiding it: (Msb:) it is absolutely necessary: it is not possible to separate oneself from it, nor is there anything that can serve in its stead. (TA.) And مَا لَكَ مِنْهُ بُدٌّ [Thou hast not any means, or way, of separating thyself from it, or avoiding it]. (M, L.) And لَيْسَ لِهٰذَا الأَمْرِ بُدٌّ There is no artifice for this affair. (T.) [It is also said, with reference to the first of these phrases, that] بُدٌّ signifies Amplitude; from أَبَدُّ meaning “ wide between the legs. ” (Ham p. 348.)

(IAth, and Ham p. 823.) b2: Also the first, A substitute; a thing given, or received, or put, or done, instead of, in the place of, or in exchange for, another thing; a compensation; syn. عِوَضٌ: (S, L, TA:) it is said to have this signification. (S.) [In the copies of the K, البَعُوضُ is put in the place of العِوَضُ: but this is said in the TA to be a mistake.]

A3: بُدٌّ is also an arabicized word, from بُتْ, (T, S, M, K, [in a copy of the M, بُتّ,]) which is Persian; (T, S;) meaning An idol; (IDrd, S, M, K;) pl. بَدَدَةٌ (S, K) and أَبْدَادٌ: (K:) and (or accord. to some, TA) the house of an idol: (K:) or a house in which are idols and images or pictures. (M.) بِدٌّ: see بُدٌّ. b2: Also, and ↓ بَدِيدٌ (T, K) and ↓ بَدِيدَةٌ, (K,) A like; a fellow; an equal. (T, K.) You say, هُوَ بِدُّهُ and ↓ بَدِيدُهُ He, or it, is the like, &c., of him, or it. (T.)

(TA.) بَدَّةٌ: see بَدَدٌ.

بُدَّةٌ: see بُدٌّ.

A2: Also A distance; a space; an interval; an extent, or an extreme extent; a long space, or any space, of time. (M, K, * TA.) So in the saying, بَيْنِى وَ بَيْنَكَ بُدَّةٌ [Between me and thee is a distance, &c.]. (M, TA.) بِدَّةٌ: see بُدٌّ, and بِدَادِ: A2: and see also بَدَدٌ.

A3: مَا لَكَ بِهِ بَدَدٌ and ↓ بَدَّةٌ and ↓ بِدَّةٌ Thou hast not power, or ability, to do it, or to bear it, or to cope with him. (S, M, K.) جَآءَتِ الخَيْلُ بَدَادِ; (T, S;) in which بداد is indecl., with kesr for its termination because it deviates from its original form, i. e., the inf. n. بَدَدٌ; and it is indecl. because it deviates from its original form and is of the fem. gender and has the quality of an epithet; for two of these causes render it imperfectly decl., and the three render it indecl.; (S;) or بَدَادِ بَدَادِ, and بَدَادَ بَدَادَ, (Lh, M, K,) the last indecl. with fet-h for its termination, (TA,) and ↓ بَدَدَ بَدَدَ, (Lh, M, K,) also indecl., with fet-h, (TA,) and composed in the same manner as خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ, (Lh, M, TA,) and ↓ بَدَدًا بَدَدًا; (Lh, M, K;) all of these indecl. except the last, and each virtually in the accus. case as a denotative of state, except the last, (MF,) which is literally in the accus. case, as an inf. n.; (M, MF;) The horses, or horsemen, came in a state of dispersion: (T, S, M, K:) or one by one; or one after another. (T, L.) and تَفّرَّقَ القَوْمُ بَدَاد The people, or company of men, became separated, in a state of dispersion. (S.) and ذَهَبَ القَوْمُ بَدَادِ بَدادِ The people, or company of men, went away [in a state of dispersion; or] one by one; or one after another. (T, L.) [See also أَبَادِيد.] It is said in a form of prayer, اَللٰهُمَّ

أَحْصِهِمْ عَدَدًا ↓ اقْتُلْهُمْ بَدَدًا [O God, slay them one by one, and reckon them by number]: (M:) or أَحْصِهِمْ عَدَدًا وَ الْعَنْهُمْ بِدَدًا, or, accord. to one recital, وَاقْتُلْهُمْ بِدَدًا, pl. of ↓ بِدَّةٌ, the meaning being [reckon them by number, and] curse them, or slay them, with a cursing, or slaughter, distributed among them by shares. (Mgh.) b2: يَا قَوْمِ بَدَادِ بَدَادِ means O my people, take each one of you his adversary, or opponent [with whom to fight]. (As, T, S, K. *) Here بداد is indecl., with kesr for its termination, because it is an imperative verbal noun, and the imperative is alike uninfluenced with respect to its termination by any governing word; and it is said to be with kesr because two quiescent letters would otherwise occur together, [and] because it occupies the place of an imperative verb [which in like manner is terminated with kesr when it is necessary to prevent the occurrence of two quiescent letters together]. (S.) b3: With the article, you say, البَدَادُ, (As, T,) which signifies The going forth to encounter another in fight, or to single combat; as in the saying, لَوْ كَانَ البَدَادُ لَمَا أَطَاقُونَا Had we gone forth to encounter them in fight, (As, T, S, K,) man to man, [they had not been able to cope with us;] (As, T;) or man by man. (S, K.) You say also, لَقُوا بَدَادَهُمْ, explained above: see 6.

A3: And see 3.

بُدَادٌ: see بُدٌّ.

بِدَادٌ: see بُدٌّ.

A2: Also A stuffed lining put beneath a [camel's saddle of the kind called]

قَتَب, to defend the animal's back from being hurt thereby: there is one such on each side: (T:) or, of a horse's saddle, and of a قَتَب, (S, M, K,) the stuffed thing, or pad, that is placed beneath, in order that it may not gall the animal's back; (M, K;) as also ↓ بَدِيدٌ: (K:) or the بِدَادَانِ and ↓ بَدِيدَانِ are two bags (خَرِيطَتَانِ), which are stuffed, and placed under the curved pieces of wood, in order that the wood may not gall the animal's back; derived from بَدَّ رِجْلَــيْهِ

“ he parted his legs: ” (S:) [see also بَدِيدٌ:] or the بِدَادَانِ of a قَتَب are two things like provender-bags, 'which are stuffed, and bound with strings, or cords, to the pieces of wood called the ظَلِفَات and أَحْنَآء: (T:) or they are, to the قَتَب, like the كَرّ to the رَحْل, except that they do not appear before the ظَلِفَة, being only within [it]: (M:) [see also حِدْجٌ:] pl. [of pauc.] أَبِدَّةٌ (T, S) and [of mult.] بَدَائِدُ. (S.) b2: Also A piece of felt cloth, that is bound upon a beast which has a galled, or sore, back, (L, K,) cut, or slit, so as to be clear of the galls, or sores. (L.) بَدِيدٌ: see بِدٌّ, in three places.

A2: Also A saddlebag; syn. خُرْجٌ: (K:) [and] بَدِيدَانِ a pair of saddle-bags; syn. خُرْجَانِ. (S.) b2: See also بِدَادٌ, in two places.

بَدِيدَةٌ: see بِدٌّ.

بَادٌّ The inner side of the thigh: (M, A, K:) or the part of the horseman's thigh that is next the saddle: (T, M, A, L:) or the part between the legs: (M, L:) the inner sides of the two thighs are called the بَادَّانِ, (S,) because the saddle separates them; (IAar, M;) and if so, بَادٌّ is of the measure فَاعِلٌ in the sense of the measure مَفْعُولٌ; or it may be a possessive epithet [meaning ذُو بَدٍّ]. (M, L.) You say, هُوَ حَسَنُ البَادِّ عَلَى السَّرجِ, meaning He is a good rider upon the saddle. (A.) b2: Also the part of a horse's back upon which the thigh of the rider presses. (KT, T, L.) أَبَدٌّ A man wide between the thighs, (ISk, S, M, K,) by reason of abundance of flesh: (ISk, S, M:) or wide between the arms; (K;) having the arms far from the sides: (M:) or wide between the shoulder-joints: (M:) or (so in the K; but accord. to the S, “and”) large in make, (T, S, M, K,) having one part far from another: (M, K:) and wide in the breast: (Aboo-Málik, T:) fem. بَدَّآءُ: (S:) which also signifies a woman (M, L) large in the إِسْكَتَانِ [or labia majora of the vulva], (M, L, K,) having their edges far apart: (M, L:) or having much flesh in the thighs. (T, L.) الأَبَدٌّ is used to signify The weaver, (T, M, K,) because of the distance between his thighs. (M.) The following saying, (K,) quoted by J, from the rájiz Aboo-Nukheyleh Es-Saadee, أَلَدُّ يَمْشِى مِشَيَةَ الأَبَدِّ is incorrect, and should be thus, بَدَّآءُ تَمْشِى مِشْيَةَ الأَبَدِّ [A woman of large make, walking in the manner of the man of large make; or a woman wide between the thighs, &c.]; (K;) for it is descriptive of a woman, as IB and Aboo-Sahl El-Harawee have observed before the author of the K. (TA.) b2: Also A horse [or any quadruped (see بَدَّ)] having the fore legs far apart: (M, K:) or having the fore legs far from the sides: (TA:) or wide between the legs: (Ham p. 348:) and a camel having the elbows far from the sides: (TA:) and the fem. بَدَّآءُ, a cow having her fore legs far apart. (S.) [Hence,] الأَبَدُّ الزَّنِيمُ [in the CK الرَّثِيمُ] The lion; (M, K;) the former epithet being applied to him because his fore legs are far apart, and the latter because he is [often] alone. (M.) b3: كَتِفٌ بَدَّآءُ A broad shoulder-blade, the sides of which are distant, one from another. (M, L.) طَيْرٌ أَبَادِيدُ, (Fr, S, K,) and ↓ تَبَادِيدُ, (K, TA,) [in the CK نَبادِيدُ,] erroneously written by J ↓ يَبَادِيدُ, (K,) [but see what follows; like أَنَادِيدُ and يَنَادِيدُ;] Birds in a state of dispersion. (S, K.) In the following verse of 'Otárid Ibn-Kurrán, quoted by J, كَأَنَّمَا أَهُلُ حَجْرٍ يَنْظُرُونَ مَتَى

يَرَوْنَنِى خَارِجًا طَيْرٌ يَبَادِيدُ [As though the people of Hajr, watching when they should see me going forth, were birds in a state of dispersion], (K,) thus related also by Yaakoob, and thus in the handwriting of Az, (TA,) the last two words should be طَيْرُ اليَنَادِيدِ, the latter with ن, and governed by the former in the gen. case, the rhyme being with kesr: (K:) so says Aboo-Sahl El-Harawee. (TA.) b2: ذَهَبُوا

أَبَادِيدُ, (M, K,) and ↓ تَبَادِيدُ, (K,) or ↓ يَبَادِيدُ, (as in the T, from Fr, and in the M and L, and in some copies of the K, [but see above,]) [as also أَنَادِيدُ, and يَنَادِيدُ, or تَنَادِيدُ,] They went away in a state of dispersion. (M, L, K.) تَبَادِيدُ: see أَبَادِيدُ, in two places.

(M, L.) شَمْلٌ مُبَدَّدٌ [A united state of affairs]. become disunited [or discomposed or disorganized]. (S, L.) اِمْرَأَةٌ مُتَبَدِّدَةٌ An emaciated woman, [as though] having one part far from another. (M, L.) يَبَادِيدُ: see أَبَادِيدُ, in two places.

شك

1 شَكَّ is intrans. by itself, and trans. by means of the particle فى: b2: one says شَكَّ الأَمْرُ, aor. ـُ [contr. to analogy in the case of an intrans. verb of this class], inf. n. شَكٌّ, The thing, or case, or affair, was, or became, dubious, or confused: (Msb:) b3: and شَكَّ فِيهِ, (MA, K,) first Pers\.

شَكَكْتُ فيه, (S, Msb,) aor. as above, (JM, PS, &c.,) and so the inf. n., (MA, &c.,) He doubted, wavered or vacillated in opinion, or was uncertain, respecting it; (MA, Msb, and so accord. to explanations of شَكٌّ [q. v. infrà] in the S and Msb and K &c.;) syn. اِرْتَابَ; (Msb;) and ↓ تشكّك signifies the same. (S, K.) b4: شَكَّ عَلَىَّ الأَمْرُ means شَقَّ [i. e. The case, or affair, was difficult, hard, distressing, &c., to me]: (O, TA:) or, as some say, [was such that] I doubted (شَكَكْتُ) respecting it. (TA.) A2: شَكَّ said of a camel, (IAar, S, K,) aor. and inf. n. as above, (S,) He limped, or halted; or had a slight lameness, (IAar, S, TA,) of his hind leg: (IAar, TA:) or his arm stuck to his side, (K, TA,) and he had a slight lameness in consequence thereof: (TA:) and ↓ اشتكّ, likewise said of a camel, he had a slight lameness; (Ibn-'Abbád, O, TA;) like شَكَّ. (Ibn-'Abbád, O.) b2: شَكٌّ also signifies The cleaving or sticking [of a thing to another thing]. (S, O, TA.) So in a verse of Aboo-Dahbal El-Jumahee cited voce يَلَبٌ. (S.) and one says, شَكَّتِ الرَّحِمُ The relationship was, or became, closely united. (O, TA. [See رَحِمٌ شَاكَّةٌ, voce شَاكٌّ.]) b3: شَكَّ فِى السِّلَاحِ, (K, TA,) aor. and inf. n. as above, (TA,) He put on [or around him,] or attired himself with, the arms, or weapons, completely, not leaving any of them; (TA;) [as though] he entered amid them. (K, TA.) A3: شَكَكْتُهُ بِالرُّمْحِ, (S, O, Msb, in the K شَكَّهُ,) and بِالسَّهْمِ, and the like, aor. as above, (TA,) and so the inf. n., (Msb, TA,) I pierced, or transpierced, him, or it, (طَعَنْتُهُ, Msb, or خَزَقْتُهُ, O, and in like manner in the TA, but in my copies of the S خَرَقْتُهُ [meaning I made a hole in him, or it], and thus in one place in the TA, and اِنْتَظَمْتُهُ, S O, and in like manner in the K,) with the spear, (S, O, Msb, K,) and with the arrow, &c.: (TA:) but IDrd says that, accord. to some, شَكٌّ is only by the conjoining two things with an arrow or a spear: (O, TA:) [thus,] فَشَكَّ رِجْلَــهُ مَعَ رِكَابِهِ means And he clave and transpierced his leg, or foot, together with his stirrup. (Mgh.) b2: [Hence,] شَكَكْتُ إِلَيْهِ البِلَادَ I traversed, or crossed, or cut through, the countries, or districts, to him. (O, TA.) b3: And شُكَّ عَلَيِه الثَّوْبُ The garment was put [or drawn] together upon him, and fastened with a thorn or a wooden pin: or was let down, or made to hang down, upon him. (TA.) b4: شَكُّوا بُيُوتَهُمْ They placed their tents in one row, or series, (O, Msb, K,) in one regular order, (T, TA,) near together. (Msb.) b5: Hence; شَكُّوا الأَرْحَامَ They made the relationships to be closely connected. (Msb.) And شُكَّ He was made, or asserted, to be connected with the lineage of another. (IAar, O.) b6: And شَكَكْتُهُ said of anything means I drew and joined, or adjoined, it [to another thing]. (Msb.) [And I infixed it in, or thrust it into, another thing.] b7: مَا شَكَّ كَفِى خَلِيلُهَا, [or, more probably, ما شُكَّ,] a phrase in a verse of El-Farezdak,] in which it forms an apodosis,] means مَا قَارَنَ [i. e., app., Its friend (the sword, or the spear, both of which are meanings of الخَلِيل,) would not be conjoined (or grasped) with my hand]. (TA.) b8: شَكَّ الثَّوْبَ He (the sewer) made the stitch-holes far apart [in sewing the garment, or piece of cloth]. (O, TA.) [Thus the verb has two contr. meanings.]

A4: شَكِكْتُ إِلَيْهِ, with kesr, and شَكِكْتُهُ, (Ibn-'Abbád, O, and so in the K accord. to the TA, as also in the TK, in the CK and in my MS. copy of the K شَكَكْتُهُ and اليه,) I inclined to him, or it; or trusted to, or relied upon, him, or it, so as to be, or become, easy, or quiet, in mind; or leaned, rested, or relied, upon him, or it; syn. رَكَنْتُ. (Ibn-'Abbád, O, K.) 2 شكّكنى فِيهِ, (S, O, K, *) inf. n. تَشْكِيكٌ, (O,) He made me to doubt, to waver or vacillate in opinion, or to be uncertain, respecting it; (S, K, TA;) he threw me, or made me to fall, into doubt, &c., respecting it. (O.) 5 تَشَكَّّ see the first paragraph.8 إِشْتَكَ3َ see the first paragraph.

شَكٌّ [used as a subst.] signifies Doubt; (Msb; [see 1;]) or the contr. of يَقِينٌ; (S, O, Msb, K;) by which explanation is meant a wavering or vacillation in opinion between two things, whether they be equal [in probability] or such that one of them outweighs [therein] the other; or, as the expositors explain its meaning in the Kur x. 94, uncertainty: (Msb:) or a wavering or vacillation in opinion, between two inconsistent things, without making either of them to outweigh the other in the estimation of him who conceives the شَكّ: or, as some say, a pausing, or hesitation, between two extremes that are equal [in probability], without the mind's inclining to either of them: when one of them is made to outweigh, without the other's being rejected, it is ظَنٌّ: (KT:) accord. to Er-Rághib, it is the alternation, or confusedness, of two inconsistent things, in the judgment of a man, and their being equal: this is sometimes because of there being two indications, equal in his judgment, of the two inconsistent things; or of there being no indication thereof: and sometimes it relates to the question whether a thing be, or be not; and sometimes, to the question of what kind it is; and sometimes, to some of its qualities; and sometimes, to the accident that is the cause of its being: it is a species of جَهْل; but is more special than this; for جهل is sometimes the utter nonexistence of knowledge of the two inconsistent things; so that every شكّ is جهل, but every جهل is not شكّ: (TA:) accord. to some, the primary meaning is a state of commotion, or disturbance, of the heart and mind: (Msb:) pl. شُكُوكٌ. (K.) b2: [Hence, يَوْمُ الشَّكِ The day of which one doubts whether it be the last of one month or the first of the next month: and generally, whether it be the last of Shaabán or the first of Ramadán; and to fast on this day is forbidden.]

A2: Also A small crack in a bone. (K.) b2: And A seam, or line of sewing, of a garment. (L in art. صوح.) b3: [And accord. to Freytag, A coat of mail composed of narrow rings: but he names no authority for this.]

A3: And [Arsenic;] a certain medicament, that destroys rats; brought from Khurásán, from the mines of silver; (K, TA;) of two kinds, (TA,) white and yellow; (K, TA;) now known by the name of سَمُّ الفَأْرِ [ratsbane]. (TA.) شِكٌّ A covering (حُلَّة) that is put upon the backs of the two curved extremities of the bow: (K:) so says ISd. (TA.) شَكَّةٌ [an inf. n. of un.] A single piercing through two men on a horse. (Ham p. 271.) شُكَّةٌ i. q. شُقَّةٌ: (O, K:) so in the saying, إِنَّه لَبَعِيدُ الشُّكَّةِ [Verily he is one whose region to which he directs himself is far distant]. (O.) شِكَّةٌ Arms, or weapons, (S, K, TA,) that are worn. (TA.) b2: And A broad piece of wood, (K,) or small broad piece of wood, (S, O,) that is put into the hole (خُرْت) [in which is inserted the end of the handle] of the axe, or adz, and the like, in order to narrow it.

(IAar, TA.) A2: [Also said to be pl. of شَكِيكَةٌ, q. v.]

شِكَاكٌ Tents arranged in a row: (O, K:) one says, ضَرَبُوا بُيُوتَهُمْ شِكَاكًا They pitched their tents in one row: but accord. to Th, it is سِكَاكًا, [q. v.], from السِّكَّةُ. (TA.) شَكُوكٌ (tropical:) A she-camel of which one doubts whether she be fat or not (S, K, TA) in her hump, (K, TA,) by reason of the abundance of her fur, wherefore her hump is felt: (S, TA:) pl. شُكٌّ.
