(TA.) b2: [Hence,] شال المِيْزَانُ The balance had one of its two scales higher than the other, (S, O, Msb, TA,) by reason of its lightness. (Msb.) Whence the saying, شال مِيزَانُ فُلَانٍ, aor. ـُ inf. n. شَوَلَانٌ, meaning (tropical:) Such a one was overcome in contending with another for superiority in glory or the like. (TA.) b3: And شالت القِرْبَةُ, and شال الزِّقُّ, The legs of the water-skin, and of the skin for wine &c., became raised, or elevated, on the occasion of its being filled, or inflated.

(TA.) b5: One says also, شالت نَعَامَتُهُ, meaning (assumed tropical:) He was, or became, flurried, agitated, or excited, (خَفَّ,) and angry, and then became calm. (K.) And شالت نَعَامَتُهُمْ (assumed tropical:) Their might (عِزُّهُمْ) departed: (O, K:) or their abodes became clear of them, as though lightened of them, (خَفَّتْ مَنَازِلُهُمْ مِنْهُمْ, K, TA,) and they went away: (TA:) or their expression of opinion was, or became, discordant: (تَفَرَّقَتْ كَلِمَتُهُمْ: K:) or they died: and they became scattered, or dispersed; as though there remained not of them save a remnant; [see شَوْلٌ;] النَّعَامَةُ signifying الجَمَاعَةُ: (TA:) or they became irresolute, by reason of fear, and fled: (Msb:) or they were frightened, and fled. (M in art. رأل.) [See also نَعَامَةٌ: and see a verse cited voce إِمَّا.]

A2: شُلْتُ بِهِ, and شُلْتُهُ; (Msb;) and ↓ أَشَلْتُهُ; (O, Msb;) or شُلْتُ بِالجَرَّةِ, for which one should not say شِلْتُ [which the vulgar say in the present day, making it trans. by itself]; (S, O;) and ↓ أَشَلْتُهَا; (S;) or شال بِالحَجَرِ; and ↓ اشالهُ, (K,) inf. n. إِشَالَةٌ; (TA;) and ↓ شاولهُ; (K;) aor. of the first as above, inf. n. شَوْلٌ; (S, O, Msb;) I raised, (S, O, Msb,) or he raised, (K,) it, (O, Msb,) namely, a thing, (O,) or the jar, (S, O,) or the stone.

(Msb. [See شَائِلٌ: and see also 2.]) And شالت بِذَنَبِهَا It (a scorpion) raised its tail. (TA.) And شال يَدَهُ He raised his arm or hand; like شال بِهَا. (Msb.) And بِضَبْعِهِ ↓ اشال He raised his ضَبْع [generally expl. as meaning the upper half of the arm, from the elbow to the shoulder-blade]. (TA.) 2 شَوَّلَ شوّلت, said of a she-camel, (S, O, K,) She became such as is termed شَائِلَة: (S, O, TA: [in one of my copies of the S, صَارَ شَوْلًا is erroneously put for صَارَتْ شَائِلَةً:]) or her supplies of milk dried up; (جَفَّتْ أَلْبَانُهَا; K, TA; [but perhaps the right reading is خَفَّتْ, meaning became scanty; for SM adds,]) and became little in quantity.

And شوّلت الإِبِلُ The camels became in such a state that their bellies [were drawn up as though they] reached their backs: (K, TA:) or became such as to have [only] a شَوْل [or small quantity remaining] of milk: like as one says, (O, TA,) شوّلت المَزَادَةُ The مزادة [or leathern water-bag] had little water remaining in it: (O, K, TA:) one should not say شَالَت. (TA.) b2: [Hence, app.,] تَشْوِيلٌ of the ذَكَر signifies Its being in a relaxed state on the occasion of مُجَامَعَة. (O, K.) And شوّل said of a horse means, like رَفَّضَ, He put forth his veretrum without being vigorously lustful. (TA in art. رفض.) b3: شوّل said of a غَرْب [or large bucket], Its water became little in quantity. (O, K.) Said of a she-camel's milk, It became deficient: (K, TA:) and it became withdrawn. (TA.) And said of water, It became little in quantity. (K.) b4: In the following saying, (S, TA,) of Abu-n-Nejm, (TA,) حَتَّى إِذَا مَا العِشْرُ عَنْهَا شَوَّلَا the poet means, ذَهَبَ and تَصَرَّمَ [i. e.

(S, TA.) b5: شوّل فِى المَزَادَةِ He left somewhat remaining (أَبْقَى شَوْلًا) of water in the مزادة [or leathern water-bag].

(Az, S, O.) 7 إِنْشَوَلَ see 1, first sentence.8 إِشْتَوَلَ see 1, first sentence. b2: اشتال لَهُ (tropical:) He opposed himself to him, and reviled him.

A2: Also A certain kind of رِدَآء

[here meaning shawl], made in Cashmere and Lahore, and brought for sale to other countries; [erroneously] said to be made of camels' fur; and so called because raised to the shoulders, if it be an Arabic word [which is not the case, for it is from the Pers\. شَالٌ, whence our word “ shawl ”]: pl. شِيلَانٌ and شَالَاتٌ. (TA.) شَوْلٌ: see شَائِلَةٌ, voce شَائِلٌ: A2: and شَوْلَةٌ.

(De Sacy's Chrest. Ar., 2nd ed., ii. 484-5.) See also what next follows.]

شُوَلٌ, like صُرَدٌ [in measure], One who aids, or assists, much or well; syn. نَصُورٌ. (O, TA.) [See also what next precedes.]

شُوُلٌ: see شَوِلٌ.

شَوْلَةٌ The part that it raises of the tail of the scorpion; (S, O, K;) and so ↓ شَوْلٌ: (Ham p.

(S, O.) [See مَنَازِلُ القَمَرِ, in art. نزل.] b3: And شَوْلَةُ is a proper name for The scorpion; (O, TA;) [and] so ↓ شَوَّالَةُ. (K, TA.) A2: Also A foolish, or stupid, woman. (IAar, O, K.) شَوْلَةُ was the name of A certain foolish female slave, belonging to [the tribe of] 'Adwán, and she used to give advice to her masters, and it resulted in evil to them; whence the saying, أَنْتَ شَوْلَةُ النَّاصِحَةُ [Thou art Showleh the giver of advice]. (S, O, K.) b2: Also the name of The mare of Zeyd-el-Fawáris Ed-Dabbee.

(TA.) شُوَّيْلٌ: see شُوَيْلَآءُ.

شَوَّالَةٌ [not (as is implied in the K) شَوَّالَةُ] A certain bird, (AHát, O, K,) a دُخَّلَة [n. un. of دُخَّلٌ q. v.], of a dusky colour, which, when it alights upon a stone or a tree, moves up and down its tail like as does the camel; so called because it raises its tail; and in its belly and its hinder part is somewhat of redness. (AHát, O, TA.) b2: See also شَوْلَةٌ. b3: [Hence, as being likened to the scorpion, whence also the phrase إِنَّهُ لَتَدِبُّ عَقَارِبُهُ,] اِمْرَأَةٌ شَوَّالَةٌ (assumed tropical:) A woman wont to calumniate. (K.) شَائِلٌ A she-camel raising her tail, (S, O, Msb, K,) having conceived, (Msb,) or by reason of having conceived, and having no milk whatever: (S, O, K:) or a she-camel that has conceived, and raises her tail to the stallion as a sign of her having conceived, raising her head therewith, and elevating her nose: (Az, TA:) the word is without ة because it is an epithet of peculiar application [to a female]: (Msb:) or it is without ة anomalously; for the male also raises his tail: (ISd, TA:) the pl. is شُوَّلٌ (Az, S, O, Msb, K) and شُيَّلٌ and شِيَّلٌ and شُوَّالٌ. (K.) Also, with ة, applied to a mare, as meaning Raising the tail. (TA.) b2: And شَائِلَةٌ, which is anomalously with ة because it is an epithet denoting an attribute not shared with the female by the male, (ISd, TA,) A she-camel that has passed seven months, (S, O, K,) or eight, (S, O,) since the period of her bringing forth, (S, O, K,) or of her becoming pregnant, (K,) and whose milk has dried up, (جَفَّ لَبَنُهَا, K, and so in a copy of the S,) or whose milk has become scanty, (خَفَّ لَبَنُهَا, O, and so in another copy of the S,) and her udder drawn up, (S, O,) there remaining in her udder no more than a شَوْل, a third of the quantity of the contents thereof when her bringing forth was recent: (TA:) she-camels in this case are termed ↓ شَوْلٌ, (S, O, K,) an anomalous pl., (K,) [or rather a quasi-pl. n.,] expl. by some as applied to she-camels whose milk has become deficient, which is the case when their young are weaned at the period of the [auroral] rising of سُهَيْل [or Canopus, a period which commenced, in Central Arabia, about the beginning of the era of the Flight, on the 4th of August, O. S.], and they cease not to be thus termed until the stallion is sent among them; (TA;) the pl. pl. [or pl. of شَوْلٌ] is أَشْوَالٌ; (K;) and شَوَائِلُ is a pl. of شَائِلَةٌ meaning [as expl. above, or] a she-camel whose milk has become withdrawn. (TA.) b3: شَائِلٌ is also applied to Anything that is raised, or drawn up, or withdrawn. (TA.) شَوْشَلَآءُ Initus; syn. نَيْكٌ: said to be an Abyssinian word. (Ibn-'Abbád, O, K.) مِشْوَلٌ A small مِنْجَل [or reaping-hook: in the CK, erroneously, مُنْخُل]. (S, O, K, TA.) مُشِيلٌ act. part. n. of 4. See an ex. in a verse cited voce خَافِض; cited also in the present art. in the S and O.

مِشْوَلَةٌ is said by Yz to signify A certain thing with which one plays. (O, TA.) مِشْوَالٌ A stone that is raised. (Lh, K.)

ش

أن1 شَأَنْتُ شَأْنَهُ i. q. قَصَدْتُ قَصْدَهُ [meaning I pursued his (another's) way, or course, doing as he did]; (S, L, K: * in the K, شَأَنَ شَأْنَهُ and قَصَدَ قَصْدَهُ;) and in like manner one says, شَأْنَهُ ↓ اشتأن. (K.) b2: And اِشْأَنْ شَأْنَكَ Do thou what thou dost well. (S, L, K. *) And Keep thou to thy affair. (IAar, L.) b3: And مَا شَأَنَ شَأْنَهُ He did not know, or had not knowledge of, him, or his affair or case or state: (Lh, IAar, L, K:) [from a passage in the L, imperfectly written, it seems, accord. to Lh, to be said of one who does what another likes or dislikes, app. without regard to his liking it or disliking it, agreeably with what here follows:] or (K) this means, (S, K,) or means also, (L,) he did not care for, mind, heed, or regard, him. (S, L, K. [In the S and L, the verb in the sense thus expl. is in the first Pers\.: and in one place in the L it is expl. by أَرَادَ, which often has this meaning.]) One says also, لَأَشْأَننَّ شَأْنَهُمْ, meaning I will assuredly know, or try, prove, or test, (لَأَخْبُرَنَّ,) their affair or case or state: (L:) or this means I will assuredly corrupt, or pervert, or mar, their affair or case or state: (S, L, K: *) and لَأَشْأَنَنَّ خَبَرَهُ, (L,) or خَبَرَهُمْ, (K,) means I will assuredly know, or try, prove, or test, [his, or their, state, or] him, or them. (L, K. [In the CK and in my MS. copy of the K, لَاُخْبِرَنَّهُمْ, is erroneously put for لَأَخْبُرَنَّهُمْ.]) A2: شَأَنَ بَعْدَكَ means صَارَ لَهُ شَأْنٌ [i. e., app., He became a person to whom importance attached (accord. to the general meaning of لَهُ شَأْنٌ) after thou knewest, or sawest, or mettest, him; بَعْدَكَ being for بَعْدَ عَهْدِكَ بِهِ, agreeably with common usage]. (K.) 4 اشأن شَأْنَهُمْ is mentioned by Golius as meaning “ Corrupit ac pervertit rem eorum,” as on the authority of the S, (the right reading in which has been given above,) and on that of the KL, in my copy of which I find nothing of the sort.]8 إِشْتَاَ^َ see 1, first sentence.

شَأْنٌ A thing, an affair, or a business; syn. أَمْرٌ; (S, L, K;) and خَطْبٌ [in the same sense, or in that next following]: (L, K:) a great thing or affair: (Har p. 274:) state, condition, case, quality, or manner of being; syn. حَالٌ: (S, L:) [also property, or nature: and importance attaching to a person or thing:] pl. شُؤُونٌ and شِئَانٌ, (L, K,) the latter mentioned by IJ on the authority of AAF, and شُونٌ occurs in poetry for the former of these, or as another pl. originally شُؤْنٌ, of the measure فُعْلٌ. (L.) It is said in the Kur [lv. 29], كُلَّ يَم ٍ هُوَ فِى شَأْن ٍ [Every day He is employing Himself in an affair of some kind]: expl. as meaning that, of his business (مِنْ شَأْنِهِ [which may also be rendered “ of his property ”]) it is to render mighty one who is brought low, and to bring low one who is mighty, and to enrich one who is poor, and to impoverish one who is rich; and no affair occupies him so as to divert him from an affair (لَا يَشْعَلُهُ شَأْنٌ عَنْ شَأْن ٍ). (L.) [And one says, مَا شَأْنُكَ What is thy affair? or what is thy case? And شَأْنَكَ, for اِشْأَنْ شَأْنَكَ i. e. Pursue thy way or course, or thy affair; or do what thou dost well; or keep to thy affair: or the like: and to this is often added, وَمَا تُرِيدُ i. e. and what thou wilt, or wishest, or desirest. And مِنْ شَأْنِهِ أَنْ يَفْعَلَ كَذَا It is of his business, or of his property, or nature, to do, or that he should do, such a thing. And رَجُلٌ سَهْلُ الشَّأْنِ (a phrase occurring in the S and K in art. هش) A man of easy nature. And لَهُ شَأْنٌ, sometimes meaning There is for him, or he has, a great thing or affair to perform or transact: but more commonly, great importance attaches to him, or to it: see 1, last sentence. And a grandee, or a prince, is said to be عَظِيمُ الشَّأْنِ i. e. Of great importance or rank or dignity.]

A2: Also [A suture of the skull; i. e.] the place of junction of the قَبَائِل [or principal bones, namely, the frontal, occipital, and two parietal, bones,] of the head: (K:) sing. of شُؤُونٌ, (Mgh,) which signifies the places of junction, (As, S, Mgh, L,) and of meeting, (S, L,) of the قَبَائِل (As, S, Mgh, L) of the head; (S, L;) between every two of which قبائل is a شَأْن: (As, L:) [it is fancifully said that] from them come the tears: (As, S, L:) the pl. is also expl. as meaning the سَلَاسِل [i. e. sutures as being likened to the سلاسل (or lines) of writing] that unite the قبائل: by Lth, as the نَمَانِم [likewise meaning sutures resembling lines of writing] of the skull; between the قبائل: by AHát, as the شُعَب [meaning serrated edges] that unite the قبائل of the head. (L.) b2: And The channel by which the tears flow, or run, to the eye: pl. [of pauc.] أَشْؤُنٌ and [of mult.] شُؤُونٌ: (L, K:) [perhaps thus called because supposed to come from the sutures of the skull: but they may have been supposed to come thence because tears are called مَآءُ الشُّؤُونِ (as in a verse cited voce رَسَمَ); for this phrase may have been misunderstood as signifying “ the water of the sutures of the skull,”

whereas it seems to be properly rendered “ the water of the channels of the tears: ”] it is said that the شُؤُون connect the قبائل of the head [expl. above] to the eye: Lth says that they are the ducts (عُرُوق) of the tears from [the interior of] the head to the eye: and Th, that they are certain ducts (عروق) above the قبائل, which become strong by degrees as the man advances in age: (L: [but it seems that Th has confounded explanations of شؤون in two different senses:]) accord. to ISk, (S,) or AA and others, (L,) the شَأْنَانِ are two ducts (عِرْقَانِ) descending from [the upper part of] the head to the eyebrows and then to the eyes. (S, L.) b3: [The pl. شُؤُونٌ is also expl. as though meaning Tears themselves, in a phrase mentioned voce ذَئِرٌ (q. v.), on the authority of the K.] b4: And شُؤُونٌ الخَمْرِ means (assumed tropical:) The effluvia of wine that creep (مَا دَبَّ مِنَ الخَمْرِ) in the veins of the body. (L.) b5: شَأْنٌ also signifies A vein of earth in a mountain, (L, K,) i. e. a cleft therein, (L,) in which palm-trees are planted; (L, K;) or in which trees of the kind called نَبْع grow; or that produces plants, or herbage: (L:) pl. شُؤُونٌ: (L, K:) which is said by ISd to mean lines, or streaks, in a mountain: or, as some say, cracks, or clefts: and to these cracks, or clefts, the poet Keys Ibn-Kuráa likens [imaginary] clefts in the liver, occasioned by love. (L.) إِنَّهُ لَمِشْأَنُ شَأْن ٍ أَنْ نُفْسِدَكَ is a saying mentioned by Lh, expl. [only] by the words اى ان نعمل فى فسادك [i. e. أَنْ نَعْمَلَ فِى فَسَادِكَ, app. meaning Verily he is busying himself in the doing of a thing in order that we may labour in causing thee to be in a bad, or corrupt, state]. (L.)

شبه

2 شَبَّهَهُ إِيَّاهُ and بِهِ, (MA, K,) inf. n. تَشْبِيهٌ, (S, K, KL,) He made it to be like it, or to resemble it; he assimilated it to it; (MA, KL;) i. q. مَثَّلَهُ [meaning thus: and also meaning he likened it to it, or compared it with it; agreeably with the explanation here next following]: (S, * K:) شَبَّهَتُ الشَّىْءَ بِالشَّىْءِ I put the thing in the place, or predicament, of the [other] thing, by reason of an attribute connecting them [or common to them]; which attribute may be real and ideal; real as when one says, “this dirhem is like this dirhem,” and “ this blackness is like this blackness; ” and ideal as when one says, “Zeyd is like the lion ” or “ like the ass ” i. e. in his strength or his stupidity, and “ Zeyd is like 'Amr ” i. e. in his power and his generosity and similar qualities; and sometimes it is tropical, as when one says, “ the absent is like the non-existent,” and “ the garment is like the dirhem ” i. e. the value of the garment is equivalent to the dirhem. (Msb.) شَبَّهُ, [app. for شبّه شَيْئًا بِشَىْء ٍ,] accord. to IAar, means He made a thing equal to a thing, or like a thing. (TA.) b2: [Hence,] شبّههُ عَلَيْهِ, inf. n. as above, He rendered it confused to him [by making it to appear like some other thing]; (JK, * TA;) he rendered it ambiguous, dubious, or obscure, to him. (MA.) See also 8, [with which it is, in its pass. form, and in its act. form likewise, nearly or exactly syn. in one of the senses,] in two places. b3: [And شَبَّهَتْهُ إِلَيْهِ النَّفْسُ, or الحَالُ, The mind, or the case, imaged it to him; like خَيَّلَتْهُ: see art. خيل.] See also 5, [with which, in its pass. form, this verb is nearly or exactly syn. in one sense.]

b4: [تَشْبِيهٌ used as a simple subst. means A comparison, simile, similitude, or parable: and has for its pl. تَشْبِيهَاتٌ. Hence, عَلَى التَّشْبِيهِ By way of comparison.]3 شَاْبَهَ see the next paragraph, in four places.4 اشبههُ, [inf. n. إِشْبَاهٌ;] and ↓ شابههُ, [inf. n. مُشَابَهَةٌ;] (S, K;) He was, or became, like him; he resembled him; syn. مَاثَلَهُ. (K.) One says أَشْبَهَ الوَلَدُ أَبَاهُ, and ↓ شابههُ, The child [resembled his father, or] shared with his father in some one of his qualities, or attributes.

(TA in the present art.)

(S.) You say, تَفَرَّقُوا ثُمَّ ثَابُوا i. e. [They became separated, or dispersed: then] they returned.

(A.) b6: ثاب المَآءُ (assumed tropical:) The water of a well returned, or collected again: (T:) the water attained again its former state after some had been drawn: (M:) the water collected [again] in a wateringtrough, or tank. (S.) b7: ثاب النَّاسُ (assumed tropical:) The people collected themselves together, and came. (S.) And ثاب القَوْمُ (assumed tropical:) The company of men came following one another: the verb is not used in this sense in speaking of one person.

Prayer!]; thus calling to it a second time: (T:) or his saying, (S, TA,) in the morning call to prayer, (S,) الصَّلَاةُ خَيْرٌ مِنَ النَّوْمٌ [Prayer is better than sleep]; (S, TA;) for he resumes his call by saying this after he has said, حَىَّ عَلَى

الصَّلَاهْ [and حَىَّ عَلَى الفَلَاحٌ]; desiring the people to hasten to prayer: (TA:) or his saying, in the morning call to prayer, الصلاة خيرمن النوم twice, (T, K,) after having said, حَىّ علي الصلاه حىّ علي الفلاح: (T:) or the old تثويب was the saying of the مُؤَذِّن, in the morning call to prayer, الصلاة خير من النوم: and the modern, الصَّلَاهْ الصَّلَاهْ; or قَامَتْ قَامَتْ. (Mgh.) It also signifies The إِقَامَة; (Mgh, K, TA;) [meaning, the chanting, by the مُبَلِّغُون, in a mosque, not by the مُؤَذِّن, the common words of the أَذَان, with the addition of قَدْ قَامَتِ الصَّلَاهْ (The time of prayer has come), pronounced twice after حىّ على الفلاح;] i. e. the اقامة of prayer: (IAth, TA:) and this is what is meant by the phrase, in a trad., إِذَا ثُوِّبَ بِالصَّلَاةِ [When the words of the اقامة are chanted]. (IAth, Mgh, TA.) And The praying after the prayer divinely ordained. (Yoo, T, K.) You say, ثوّب, meaning He performed a supererogatory prayer after the prescribed; تثويب being only after the prescribed; being the praying after praying: (T:) and ↓ تثوّب signifies the same. (K.) And ثّوب بِرَكْعَتَيْنِ He performed two rek'ahs as a supererogatory act. (A.) But this and the similar significations are said to be post-classical. (MF.) b4: See also 4, in four places.

A2: ثَيَّبَتْ, (T, S, Mgh,) inf. n. تَثْيِيبٌ; (T, Mgh;) formed from ثَيِّبٌ, upon supposition [that the medial radical letter of this word is ى, whereas many hold that letter to be و]; (Mgh;) or ↓ تَثَيَّبَتْ; (K in art. ثيب; [the author of which seems to have supposed that, for ثَيَّبَتْ, one should read ثُيِّبَتْ; and therefore he gives مُثَيَّبٌ as syn. with ثَيِّبٌ;]) She (a woman) became what is termed ثَيِّب. (T, Mgh, K.) b2: [Accord. to my copy of the Mgh, it also signifies She (a camel) became what is termed نَاب: but I think that, in this instance, it is a mistranscription, for نَيَّبَتْ.]

A3: [See also the last sentence of the second paragraph of art. ثرب; and compare, with what is there said by SM, meanings assigned below to مَثَابٌ and مَثَابَةٌ.]3 الخُطَّابُ يُثَاوِبُونَهَا The suitors return to her (namely, a woman such as is termed ثَيِّب,) time after time.

(T.) b5: اثاب الحَوْضَ (tropical:) He filled the watering-trough, or tank: (K, TA:) or nearly filled it. (K.) 5 تثوّب: b2: and تَثَيَّبَتْ: see 2, in the latter part of the paragraph. b3: The former also signifies He gained, or earned, a ثَوَاب [or recompense, &c.]. (K.) But this is said to be post-classical. (MF.) 6 تثاوب: see ثُئِبَ, in art. ثأب.10 استثاب مَالًا He restored to himself, or repossessed himself of, property; syn. اِسْتَرْجَعَهُ; (T, A, K;) his property having gone away. (T, A.) And اِسْتَثَبْتُ بِمَالِكَ I restored to myself, or repossessed myself of, property, by means of that which thou gavest me; my property having gone away. (A.) El-Kumeyt says, إِنَّ العَشِيرَةَ تَسْتَثِيبُ بِمَالِهِ فَيُغِيرُ وَهْوَ مُوَفِّرٌ أَمْوَالَهَا [Verily the tribe restore to themselves wealth by means of his property; and he makes incursions into hostile territories at his own expense, making their property abundant by the spoil that they gain with him].

(S, K.) ثَوْبٌ A garment, (M, Mgh, Msb, K,) [or piece of cloth or stuff,] that is worn by men, composed of linen, cotton, wool, fur, خَزّ [q. v.], (Mgh, Msb,) silk, or the like; (Msb;) but [properly] not what is cut out of several pieces, such as the shirt, and trousers, or drawers, &c.; (Mgh;) [though often applied to a shirt or shift (قَمِيص or دِرْع) and to a جُبَّة &c.:] it seems to be so called because the wearer returns to it, or it to the wearer, time after time: (Mgh:) [also a garment worn by women and girls over the shift; (see أُصْدَةٌ;) app., as in the present day, a long gown, reaching to the feet, with very wide sleeves:] pl. ثِيَابٌ [the pl. of mult.] (T, S, M, A, Mgh, Msb, K) and أَثْوَابٌ [a pl. of pauc.] (S, M, Msb, K) and أَثْوُبٌ and أَثْؤُبٌ, (S, M, K,) the last two being pls. of pauc., and the latter of them being thus pronounced with ء by some of the Arabs because the dammeh immediately after و is deemed difficult of utterance; for which reason they substitute ء for و in all instances like this. (S.) b2: Curtains, and the like, are not [properly] called ثِيَاب; but أَمْتِعَةُ البَيْتِ: (Mgh, Msb:) though Es-Sarakhsee uses the phrase ثِيَابُ البَيْتِ. (Mgh.) تَعَلَّقَ بِثِيَابِ اللّٰهِ (tropical:) [He clung to the curtains of the House of God], i. e., to the curtains of the Kaabeh, is a tropical expression. (A.) b3: Sometimes, ثَوْبٌ is used metonymically to signify (tropical:) A thing [of any kind] that veils, covers, or protects: as in the saying of a poet, كَثَوْبِ ابْنِ بِيضٍ وَقَاهُمْ بِهِ فَسَدَّ عَلَى السَّالِكِينَ السَّبِيلَا [Like the means of protection adopted by Ibn-Beed: he protected them by it, and closed the way against the passengers]. (TA.) Ibn-Beed was a wealthy merchant of the tribe of 'Ád, who hamstrung his she-camel upon a mountain-road, and stopped the way [to his abode] with it. (K in art. بيض.) b4: In the same manner, also, ثِيَابٌ is used to signify (tropical:) Weapons. (Ham p. 63.) b5: And أَثْوَابٌ is sometimes employed to signify (assumed tropical:) The wearers of garments; the wearers' bodies. (R, TA.) Esh-Shemmákh says, (T,) or Leylà, describing camels, (TA,) وَمَوْهَا بِأَثْوَابٍ خِفَافٍ فَلَا تَرَى

لَهَا شَبَهًا إِلَّا النَّعَامَ المُنَفَّرَا i. e. They mounted them, namely, the travellingcamels, (T,) with their [light, or agile,] bodies: [and thou seest not anything like them, except ostriches scared away.] (T, TA.) And in like manner, also, the dual is employed to signify (assumed tropical:) The wearer's body, or self; or what the garments infold: and ثِيَاب is employed in the same manner. (TA.) You say, لِلّهِ ثَوْبَاهُ, i. e. (tropical:) To God be he [meaning his excellence] attributed! [ for nothing but what is excellent is to be attributed to God:] (A:) or it means لِلّهِ دَرُّهُ [To God be attributed the good that hath proceeded from him! or his good deed! &c.: see arts. اله and در]. (K.) And فِى ثَوْبَىْ أَبِى أَنْ أَفِيَهُ meaning (tropical:) [On me and on my father it rests, or lies, or be it, that I pay it: or] فِىذِمَّتِى وَذِمَّةِأَبِى [on my responsibility and the responsibility of my father].

(A.) b6: [The following exs. are mostly, or all, tropical.] b7: إِنِّ المَيِّتَ لَيُبْعَثُ فِى ثِيَابِهِ الَّتِى يَمُوتُ فِيهَا, (K, * TA,) a saying of Mohammad, repeated by Aboo-Sa'eed El-Khudree, when, being about to die, he had called for new garments, and put them on: (TA:) it means Verily the dead will be raised in his garments in which he dies; accord. to some; and was used in this sense by Aboo-Sa'eed: (ElKhattábee, MF, TA:) or (assumed tropical:) [agreeably with] his works (K, TA) with which his life is closed: (TA:) or (assumed tropical:) in the state in which he dies, according as it is good or evil. (TA.) b8: وَثِيَابَكَ فَطَهِّرْ, in the Kur [lxxiv. 4], means And purify thy garments: (Abu-l-'Abbás, T:) or shorten thy garments; for the shortening them is a means of purity: (T:) or (assumed tropical:) put not on thy garments in a state of disobedience or unrighteousness: (I'Ab, T:) or (assumed tropical:) be not perfidious; for [figuratively speaking,] he who is so pollutes his garments: (Fr, T:) or, as some say, (assumed tropical:) purify thy heart: (Abu-l-'Abbás, T, K:) or (assumed tropical:) purify thyself (IKt, T, TA) from sins, or offences: (IKt, TA:) or (assumed tropical:) rectify thine actions, or thy conduct. (TA.) b9: You say, فُلَانْ نَقِىُّ الثَّوْبِ, meaning (tropical:) Such a one is free from vice, or fault: (A:) and طَاهِرُ الثَّوْبِ (tropical:) [the same; or pure in heart, or conduct, or reputation]. (TA in art. نصح.) And دَنِسُ الثِّيَابِ (tropical:) Vicious, or faulty: (A:) or perfidious: (Fr, T:) or foul, or evil, in reputation, (T, TA,) in conduct, or actions, and in the way that he follows [with respect to religion and morality]. (TA.) b10: كَلَابِسِ ثَوْبَىْ زُورٍ: see مُتَشَبِّعٌ. b11: أَعْرَضَ ثَوْبُ المَلْبَسِ and المِلْبَسِ &c.: see عَرُضَ. b12: ثَوْبُ المَآءِ (assumed tropical:) [The membrane called] السَّلَى and الغِرْسُ.

ثُبَةٌ The place where the water collects in a valley or low ground; so called because the water returns to it: (Aboo-Kheyreh, T:) and the middle of a watering-trough or tank, (T, S, M,) to which the water returns when it has been emptied, (S,) or to which what remains of the water returns; (T;) as also ↓ مَثَابٌ: (S:) the ة is a substitute for the و, the medial radical, which is suppressed; (S, L;) the word being from ثَابَ, aor. ـُ (L:) Aboo-Is-hák infers that this is the case from its having for its dim. ↓ ثُوَيْبَةٌ: but it may be from ثَبَّيْتُ “ I collected together: ” (M:) it is mentioned in the K in art. ثبى or ثبو, and not here. (TA.) See also art. ثبو or ثبى. b2: Also A company of men; (T, M, L;) and so أُثْبِيَّةٌ: (M:) or a company of men in a state of separation or dispersion; (T;) a distinct body, or company, of people: (Yoo, T:) and a troop of horsemen: (M:) pl. ثُبَاتٌ and ثُبُونَ (T, M) and ثِبُونَ: (S and M in art. ثبى, and M in art. ثبو also:) accord. to some, from ثَابَ, being originally ثُوبَةٌ; and its dim. is ↓ ثُوَيْبَةٌ: accord. to others, it is originally ثُبْيَةٌ; (T, L;) and its pl. is ثُبًى. (L.) Hence, in the Kur [iv. 73], فَانْفِرُوا ثُبَاتٍ, i. e. [And go ye forth to to war against the unbelievers] in troops, (Fr, T,) or in distinct bodies. (Yoo, T.) See, again, art. ثبو or ثبى.

ثُوَبَآءُ: see ثُؤَبَآءُ, in art. ثأب.

ثَوَابٌ (T, S, M, Mgh, Msb, K) and ↓ مَثَابَةٌ (T, Msb) and ↓ مَثُوبَةٌ (T, S, M, K) and ↓ مَثْوَبَةٌ, (EtTemeemee, T, M, K,) the last anomalous, (M,) and unknown to the Kilábees, who knew the second of these words, (T,) A recompense, compensation, requital, or reward, (T, S, M, Mgh, Msb, K,) of obedience [to God]: (S:) or absolutely; for good and for evil; as appears from the words of the Kur, هَلْ ثُوِّبَ الكُفَّارُ [cited above, see 4]; but more especially and frequently, for good. (IAth, L, MF, TA.) b2: ثَوَابٌ is also used as a quasi-inf. n., in the sense of إِثَابَةٌ; and in this case, accord to the Koofees and Baghdádees, it may govern as a verb, [like the inf. n.,] as in the saying, لِإَنَّ ثَوَابَ اللّهِ كُلَّ مُوَحِّدٍ

جِنَانٌ مِنَ الفِرْدَوْسِ فِيهَا يُخَلَّدُ [For God's rewarding every believer in his unity will be the giving gardens of Paradise, wherein he will be made to abide for ever]. (Expos. of the Shudhoor edh-Dhahab.) b3: It signifies also (tropical:) Honey; (K, TA;) i. e. (TA) the good that proceeds from bees. (A, TA.) b4: And in like manner, (tropical:) [Rain; i. e.] the good that results from the winds. (A, TA. [See ثَائِبٌ.]) b5: and (assumed tropical:) Bees; (M, K;) because they return [to their hives]. (M.) ثَيِّبٌ, [like سَيِّدٌ; originally ثَوِيبٌ, or ثَيْوِبٌ; i. e.] of the measure فَعِيلٌ, (Mgh,) or فَيْعِلٌ; (Msb;) A woman who has become separated from her husband (Lth, T, M, Mgh, K) in any manner: (Lth, T, M, Mgh:) or a woman whose husband has died, or who has been divorced, and has then returned to the marriage-state: (AHeyth, TA:) or one that is not a virgin: (IAth, TA:) or a woman to whom a man has gone in; and a man who has gone in to a woman: (Ks, ISk, S, Mgh, K:) or a person who has married: (Msb:) applied to a man and to a woman; (As, S, M, Msb;) like بِكْرٌ and أَيِّمٌ: (Mgh, Msb:) from ثَابَ; (IAth, Mgh, Msb;) because they generally return time after time to the marriage-state: (Mgh:) but mostly applied to a woman; because she returns to her family in a manner different from the first [state]; (Msb;) or because the suitors return to her time after time: (Mgh:) or it is not applied to a man (Lth, El-'Eyn, T, M, Mgh, K) except in the dual form, as when one says وَلَدُ الثَّيِّبَيْنِ: (Lth, El-'Eyn, T, M, K:) and a woman is also termed ↓ مُثَيِّبٌ; (M;) or ↓ مُثَيَّبٌ, like مُعَظَمٌ: (K: [but see 2, last sentence but two:]) the pl. of ثَيِبٌ applied to a woman is ثَيِّبَاتٌ, (T, Mgh, Msb,) and the post-classical writers say ثُيَّبٌ, which has not been heard as genuine Arabic: (Mgh, * Msb:) its pl. if applied to a man is ثُيِّبُونَ. (Msb.) It is said in a trad., الثَّيِّبَانِ يُرْجَمَانِ وَالبِكْرَانِ يُجْلَدَانِ وَيُغَرَّبَانِ [The two persons of whom each has previously had carnal intercourse in marriage with one of the other sex shall be stoned if they commit adultery together; and the two who have previously had no connubial intercourse with others shall be flogged and banished if they commit fornication together]. (T.) b2: It is also applied to (assumed tropical:) A woman who has attained the age of puberty, though a a virgin; tropically, and by extension of its proper signification. (IAth, TA.) b3: This word is mentioned in the K [and M] in art. ثيب; and its mention in art. ثوب is said by the author of the K to be wrong: but IAth and many others decisively assert that it is from ثَابَ, aor. ـُ “ he returned. ” (MF, TA.) ثُوَيْبَةٌ: see ثُبَةٌ, in two places.

ثِيابَةٌ and ثُيُوبَةٌ, as meaning The state of being a ثَيِّب, are not of the genuine language of the Arabs. (Mgh.) ثِيَابِىٌّ One who takes care of the clothes in the bath. (K.) [A post-classical word.]

ثَوَّآبٌ i. q. تَوَّابٌ [One who repents, or returns from disobedience to obedience to God, much or often]. (T.) A2: A seller of garments, or pieces of cloth: (Az, T, L, K:) and a possessor thereof. (Sb, S, L, K.) بِئْرٌ لَهَا ثَائِبٌ (tropical:) A well into which water returns after one has drawn from it; (A, TA;) see مَثَابٌ; and in like manner, [but in an intensive sense in the second of the following phrases,] ↓ بِئِرٌ لَهَا ثِيبٌ, and وَعِيبٍ ↓ ذِاتُ ثِيبٍ [in which وعيب is an epithet]: (T, L, TA:) or the first of these three phrases means a well of which the water stops sometimes, and then returns. (Ham p. 598.) You say of a well (بئر), مَا أَسْرَعَ ثَائِبَهَا (assumed tropical:) How quick is its returning supply of water! (T.) b2: ثَائِبُ البَحْرِ (assumed tropical:) The water of the sea when it flows after ebbing. (K.) Hence, كَلَأٌ مِثْلُ ثَائِبِ البَحْرِ (assumed tropical:) Fresh, sappy, [green,] herbage. (T, L.) b3: قَوْمٌ لَهُمْ ثَائِبٌ (tropical:) A people, or number of men, who come company after company. (A, TA.) b4: ثَائِبٌ also signifies (tropical:) A violent wind that blows at the beginning of rain. (S, K, TA.) مَثَابٌ: see مَثَابَةٌ, in four places: b2: and see ثُبِةٌ. b3: Also (assumed tropical:) The place from which the water returns [to supply the place of that which has been drawn, in a well]: whence ↓ بِئْرٌ لَهَا ثَائِبٌ [see ثَائِبٌ]. (TA.) b4: And (assumed tropical:) The station of the water-drawer, (A 'Obeyd, T, S, M, K,) above the عُرُوش [which means the pieces of wood upon which he stands], (A 'Obeyd, T,) or at the brink, where is the عَرْش [sing. of عُرُوش], (S,) or which forms part of the عُرُوش, (M,) of a well: (A 'Obeyd, T, S, M, K:) or the middle of a well: (K:) or it has this meaning also: (M:) pl. مَثَابَاتٌ. (T, M.) [See also مَثَابةٌ.] b5: And (assumed tropical:) The construction, or casing, of stones (طىُّ الحِجَارَةِ) that succeed one another from top to bottom [round the interior of a well]. (IAar.) [See again مَثَابَةٌ.]

مَثَابَةٌ (accord. to Aboo-Is-hák originally ↓ مَثْوَبَةٌ, T) A place to which people return, (ISh, Aboo-Is-hák, T, S, Msb,) or to which one returns, (ISh, S, Msb,) time after time; (S;) and ↓ مَثَابٌ signifies the same: (Aboo-Is-hák, T:) and the former, a place of assembly or congregation: (ISh:) or a place where people assemble, or congregate, after they have separated, or dispersed; as also ↓ the latter word: (M, K:) and a place of alighting or abode; an abode; or a house; because the inhabitants thereof return to it (ISh, S) after having gone to their affairs: (S:) the pl. is مَثَابَاتٌ; [also mentioned above as pl. of مَثَابٌ;] (ISh;) or it is ↓ مَثَابٌ; (S;) [or this is a coll. gen. n.;] or, accord. to Fr and others, مَثَاَبَةٌ and ↓ مَثَابٌ are the same: Th says that a house, or tent, (بَيْت,) is called مَثَابَةٌ; and some say ↓ مَثْوَبَةٌ; but no one reads thus [in the Kur]. (TA.) It has the first of all these meanings in the Kur ii. 119: (T, S, Bd, Jel, TA:) or it there means a place of recompense or reward for the pilgrimage to the Kaabeh and the visitation thereof. (Bd.) b2: And, sometimes, The place where the hunter, or fowler, puts his snare. (S.) b3: مَثَابَةٌ البِئْرِ (tropical:) The place where the water of the well collects: (A, TA:) or the place reached by the water of the well when it returns and collects after one has drawn from it. (M, K.) [Hence,] جَمَّتْ مَثَابَةُ جَهْلِهِ (tropical:) His ignorance became confirmed. (A, TA.) And كَانَ يَسْتَجِمُّ مَثَابَةَ سَفَهِهِ (tropical:) [He used to wait for his lightwittedness, or silliness, to attain its full degree]: a metaphorical phrase, occurring in a trad. (Har p. 68.) b4: Also (assumed tropical:) The stones that project, or overhang, around the well, (M, K,) upon which the man sometimes stands in order that the bucket (دَلْو or غَرْب) may not strike against the side of the well: (M:) or the place where it is walled round within (مَوْضِعُ طَيِّهَا): (K:) or, accord. to IAar, it means طَىُّ البِئْرِ; but [ISd says,] I know not whether he mean thereby مَوْضِعُ طَيِّهَا, or the building it [or walling it round within] with stones; though it is rarely that a word of the measure مَفَعَلَةٌ [like مثابة] is an inf. n. (M.) [See مَثَابٌ: and see what is said of تَثْوِيبٌ in the last sentence of the second paragraph of art. ثرب.] b5: مَثَابَاتٌ [the pl.] also signifies (assumed tropical:) The foundations of a house. (IAar, T.) A2: See also ثَوَابٌ.

ثمن

1 ثَمَنَهُمْ, aor. ـُ (S, M, Mgh, &c.,) inf. n. ثَمْنٌ, (M,) He took the eighth of their goods, or property. (S, M, Mgh, Msb, K.) b2: And, aor. ـِ He was, or became, the eighth of them: (S, Mgh, Msb, K:) or he made them, with himself, eight. (S in art. ثلث.) And He made them, they being seventy-nine, to be eighty. (A'Obeyd, S in art. ثلث.) A2: ثَمُنَ, [aor. ـُ inf. n. ثَمَانَةٌ, It (a commodity) was, or became, precious, costly, of high price; and ↓ اثمن [signifies the same; or] it had a price, or value. (TA. [See ثَمِينٌ.]) 2 ثمّنهُ He made it eight: or called it eight. (Esh-Sheybánee, and K in art. وحد.) b2: [He made it octangular.] b3: ثمّن لِامْرَأَتِهِ, or عِنْدَهَا, He remained eight nights with his wife: and in like manner the verb is used in relation to any saying or action. (TA in art. سبع.) A2: Also, (T, TA,) inf. n. تَثْمِينٌ, (TA,) He collected it together. (T, TA.) A3: Also, inf. n. as above, (Msb, TA,) He made known, or notified, [or he set or assigned it,] its price; i. e., the price of a commodity; like قَوَّمَهُ: (TA:) or he assigned it a price by conjecture: (Msb:) and ↓ اثمنهُ he named a price for it. (TA.) 4 اثمن القَوْمُ The party of men became eight: (S, K:) and also the party of men became eighty. (M and L in art. ثلث.) b2: أَثْمَنَتْ She brought forth her eighth offspring. (TA in art. بكر.) b3: اثمن said of a man, He was, or became, one whose camels came to water ↓ ثِمْنًا, (S, K,) i. e., on the eighth night [after the next preceding watering]. (K.) A2: اثمن said of a commodity: see 1.

A3: اثمنهُ He sold it for a price. (Msb.) b2: See also 2. b3: اثمن الرَّجُلَ مَتَاعَهُ, (T, S,) or سِلْعَتَهُ, (K,) and اثمن لَهُ, (T, S, K,) [i. e. اثمن له متاعه, or سلعته,] signify the same, (T, S, *) He gave the man the price of his commodity: (K:) or اثمن الرَّجُلَ بِمَتَاعِهِ, and اثمن لَهُ مَتَاعَهُ, he named to the man a price for his commodity, and assigned it to it, or to him. (Mgh.) ثُمْنٌ: see ثُمُنٌ.

ثِمْنٌ The eighth young one or offspring. (A in art. ثلث.) A2: One of the periods between two drinkings, or waterings, of camels: (S:) [or the end of one of those periods; namely, the night of coming to water which is] the eighth night of a period between two drinkings, or waterings, of camels, (K,) [counting the night of the next preceding drinking, or watering, as the first: see رِبْعٌ and خِمْسٌ &c.] See also 4.

ثَمَنٌ The price of a thing; i. e. the thing that the seller receives in return for the thing sold, whether money or a commodity; (Er-Rághib, TA;) the ثَمَن of a thing sold: (S:) and also (Er-Rághib, TA) a compensation, or substitute, (Mgh, Msb, Er-Rághib, TA,) whatever it be, for a thing, (Er-Rághib, TA,) i. e., for a thing that is sold; but in the sense commonly known, such as it is incumbent upon one to pay, of pieces of silver, and of gold [or other money]; not commodities and the like: (Mgh:) or the value, or worth, of a thing; (K;) its قِيمَة: (T:) or the estimated value, or worth, of a thing, by mutual consent, even though it be really excessive or deficient; whereas the قِيمَة is its real value or worth, its equivalent: (MF:) pl. أَثْمَانٌ (T, Mgh, Msb, K) and أَثْمُنٌ, (S, Msb, K,) the latter used only as a pl. of pauc., (Msb,) and [so] أَثْمِنَةٌ. (CK: not in the TA.) The saying in the Kur [ii. 38 and v. 48], وَلَا تَشْتَرُوا بِآيَاتِى ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا is metaphorical, meaning (tropical:) And take ye not in exchange for my signs a small substitute: [i. e. purchase not in exchange for belief in my word the happiness, or enjoyments, of the present life.] (Mgh.) With respect to this saying, Fr remarks, when ثَمَنًا occurs in the Kur, with بِ prefixed to the name of the thing sold or bought, in most cases it relates to two things whereof neither is a ثمن in the sense commonly known, i. e., such as pieces of gold and of silver: and such is the case when you say, اِشْتَرَيْتُ ثَوْبًا بِكِسَآءٍ [I purchased a garment with a كساء, q. v.]: either of these may be termed a ثمن for the other: but in speaking of pieces of silver and of gold, you prefix the ب to the ثمن [only]; as is done in [the chapter of] Yoosuf, [i. e. ch. xii., v. 20, where it is said,] وَشَرَوْهُ بِثَمَنٍ بَخْسٍ دَرَاهِمَ مَعْدُودَةٍ

[And they sold him for a deficient, or an insufficient, price: for pieces of silver not many, so as to require their being weighed, but few, and therefore counted]: for pieces of silver are always a ثمن: and when you purchase pieces of silver and of gold with the like, you prefix the ب to whichever of the two you will, because each of them in this case is a purchase and a price. (T.) ثُمُنٌ (S, M, Mgh, Msb, K) and ↓ ثُمْنٌ (M, Msb, K) An eighth; an eighth part or portion; as also ↓ ثَمِينٌ; (S, M, * Mgh, Msb, K;) agreeably with a general rule applying to fractions, accord. to some; (M, K;) but ثَلِيثٌ was ignored by Az (T and S in art. ثلث) and by others, (TA,) and so was خَمِيسٌ: (S in art. ثلث:) pl. أَثْمَانٌ. (M, K.) ثَمَانٍ and ثَمَانٌ: see ثَمَانِيَةٌ.

ثَمِينٌ: see ثُمُنٌ.

A2: Also High-priced; or of high value; (S, TA;) and ↓ مُثْمِنٌ [signifies the same; or] having a price, or value: (TA:) but accord. to the Durrat el-Ghowwás, the assertion that the former has the meaning here assigned to it is a mistake; for it means [only] the same as ثُمُنٌ; and a thing that has a price, or value, is termed مثمن [app. مُثْمِنٌ, as above; but perhaps مُثْمَنٌ, q. v.]. (Har p. 42.) ثَمَانِيَةٌ a noun of number, well known; [meaning Eight;] as also ↓ ثَمَانٍ, (M, TA,) which is like يَمَانٍ, (M, K,) in form: (M:) the former is the masc. form: the latter, the fem.: (Msb:) this is not a rel. n. [though likened above to يَمَانٍ]: (M, K:) or it is originally a rel. n. from الثُّمُنُ, because it is the part, or portion, that makes seven to be eight, so that it is its eighth: they make the first letter to be pronounced with fet-h, because they make changes [in some other cases] in the rel. n., (S, K,) as when they say سُهْلِىٌّ and دُهْرِىٌّ, [which are rel. ns. of سَهْلٌ and دَهْرٌ,] (S,) and they suppress one of the two ى which are characteristic of the rel. n., and compensate it by the insertion of ا, as they do in the rel. n. of اليَمَنُ [when they say يَمَانٍ, originally يَمَانِىٌ, for يَمَنِىٌّ]: (S, K: [and the like is said in the Mgh:]) El-Fárisee says that the ا of ثَمَانٍ is the characteristic of the rel. n., because this word is not a broken pl. like صَحَارٍ; and IF assents to this, and says that were it not so, the ة would be inseparable, as it is in عَبَاقِيَةٌ &c. (M.) You say ثَمَانِيَةُ رِجَالٍ [Eight men], (T, S, Mgh,) and ثَمَانِيَةُ أَيَّامٍ [eight days]. (Msb.) And when ثمان is prefixed to another noun, its ى is retained, like the ى in القَاضِى: (S, Msb, K:) and it is decl. in the same manner as words of the class to which this last belongs: (Msb:) you say ثَمَانِى نِسْوَةٍ

[Eight women], (T, S, Mgh, Msb, K,) and ثَمَانِى

مِائَةٍ [eight hundred], (S, Msb, K,) [in the nom. and gen. cases;] and رَأَيْتُ ثَمَانِىَ نِسْوَةٍ [I saw eight women], pronouncing the fet-hah [at the end, in this case]. (Msb.) When it is with tenween, the ى is dropped in the nom. and gen. cases, but it is retained in the accus. case: (S, K:) [i. e.,] when the fem. form is not prefixed to another noun, you say, عِنْدِى مِنَ النِّسَآءِ ثَمَانٍ

[I have with me, of women, eight], and مَرَرْتُ مِنْهُنَّ بِثَمَانٍ [I passed by, of them, eight], and رَأَيْتُ ثَمَانِيًا [I saw eight]. (Msb.) It sometimes occurs, in poetry, indecl.: (S, M:) this is because it is fancied to be a pl.; (S;) or because it is likened, as to the letter, but not as to the meaning, to جَوَارِىَ. (M.) The people of El-Hijáz pronounce the masc. and the fem. with nasb in every case, in phrases like أَتَوْنِى ثَلَاثَتَهُمْ and أَتَيْنَنِى ثَلَاثَهُنَّ; and so on to ten [inclusive]. (S voce ثَلَاثَةٌ, q. v.) Th mentions ↓ ثَمَانٌ; (TA;) and some instances of its occurrence are cited; but As disallows it. (T, Mgh, TA.) كِسَآءٌ ذُو ثَمَانٍ means A [garment of the kind called] كساء

made of eight fleeces. (T.) تُقْبِلُ بِأَرْبَعٍ وَتُدْبِرُ بِثَمَانٍ [She advances with four and goes back with eight] is a saying of one of the مُخَنَّثُون of El-Medeeneh; meaning, with four creases (عُكَن) of the belly, and with eight extremities thereof; each crease having two extremities, towards the two sides of the woman spoken of. (Mgh in art. هيت.) The saying الثَّوْبُ سَبْعٌ فِى ثَمَانٍ should properly be فِى ثَمَانِيَةٍ, (S,) which means, The garment, or piece of cloth, is seven cubits in length by eight spans in breadth; (Msb;) because the length is measured by the ذِرَاع, which is fem., and the breadth by the شِبْر, which is masc.; but they use the fem. when they do not mention things; as when they say, صُمْنَا مِنَ الشَّهْرِ خَمْسًا [We fasted, of the month, five], though meaning days: (S:) or because ذراع is fem. in most instances, and شبر is masc. (Msb.) [But it is said that when ثمانية means the things numbered, not the amount of the number, it is imperfectly decl., being regarded as a proper name: thus] you say, تِسْعَةُ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ ثَمَانِيَةَ [Nine things are more than eight things]. (TA voce تِسْعَةٌ, q. v.) [See also سِتَّةٌ.] b2: When you make it a compound [with the number ten], you say, عِنْدَى ثَمَانِيَةَ عَشَرَ رَجُلًا [I have with me eighteen men]: and in the case of the fem., you may either make the ى to be with fet-h or make it quiescent, saying, عِنْدِى

مِنَ النِّسَآءِ ثَمَانِىَ عَشْرَةَ امْرَأَةً or ثَمَانِىْعَشْرَةَ [I have with me, of women, eighteen women]; but the former is the more chaste; and in one dial., the ى is elided, on the condition of [saying ثَمَانَ عَشْرَةَ,] making the ن to be with fet-h; (Msb;) or in this case you say ثَمَانِ عَشْرَةَ, with kesr. (T.) A poet says, (T, S,) namely, El-Aashà, (K,) فَلَأَشْرَبَنَّ ثَمَانِيًا وَثَمَانِيًا وَثَمَانِ عَشْرَةَ وَاثْنَتَيْنِ وَأَرْبَعَا [And I will assuredly drink eight cups of wine, (a pl. of كَأْس, which is fem., being understood,) and eight more, and eighteen, and two, and four]: (T, S, K: but in the S and K, وَلَقَدْ شَرِبْتُ; and in the K, and in one copy of the S, وَثَمَانَ:) he should properly have said ثَمَانِىَ عَشْرَةَ or ثَمَانِىْ عَشْرَةَ, (accord. to different copies of the T and S and K,) but he elides the ى after the dial. of him who says طِوَالُ الأَيْدِ [for الأَيْدِى], (S, K,) and he makes the ن to be with kesr in order to indicate the ى. (T.) b3: The dim. of ثَمَانِيَةٌ may be formed either by suppressing the ا, which is the preferable way, so that you say ↓ ثُمَيْنِيَةٌ, or by suppressing the ى, saying ↓ ثُمَيِّنَةٌ, changing the ا into ى and incorporating into it the ى that is the characteristic of the dim.; and you may compensate for both [of these suppressed letters by saying ↓ ثُمَيْنِيَّةٌ and ↓ ثُمَيِّينَةٌ]. (S.) b4: الثَّمَانِى is also the name of A certain plant. (As, T, K.) ثَمَانُونَ a well-known noun of number; [meaning Eighty;] sometimes used as an epithet: ElAashà says, لَئِنْ كُنْتَ فِى جُبٍّ ثَمَانِينَ قَامَةً

وَرُقِّيتَ أَسْبَابَ السِّمَآءِ بِسُلَّمِ [Assuredly if thou wert in a well eighty fathoms deep, and wert made to ascend the tracts of heaven by a ladder]: he uses it thus as meaning deep. (TA. [But in this verse, as cited in the present art in the TA, أَبْوَابَ is put in the place of اسباب, which is the reading commonly known, and given in the S and TA in art. سب, and in the TA in art رقى-]) أَحْمَقُ مِنْ صَاحَبِ ضَأْنٍ ثَمَانِينَ [More stupid than an owner of eighty sheep], (S, K,) or مِنْ رَاعِى ضَأْنٍ ثَمَانِينَ [than a pastor of eighty sheep], as in some of the copies of the S, or, as in the Proverbs of Aboo-'Obeyd, مِنْ طَالِبِ ضَأْنٍ

ثَمَانِينَ [than a demander of eighty sheep], (TA,) is a saying that originated from the fact that an Arab of the desert announced to Kisrà an event that rejoiced him, whereupon he said, “Ask of me what thou wilt; ” and he asked of him eighty sheep. (S, K.) b2: [It also signifies Eightieth.]

(L, TA. *) And [hence] حِمَارُ وَحْشٍ An ass of a desert; [i. e. a wild ass;] as also حِمَارٌ وَحْشِىٌّ. (S, K.) [And بَقَرُ الوَحْشِ The bull and cow, or bulls and cows, collectively, of the desert; i. e., the wild bull and cow, or bulls and cows.] b2: [Hence also] Animals (حَيَوَان [which is used as a sing. and a pl., but is here meant to be understood collectively, as appears from what follows,]) of the desert, (S, A, K, TA,) such as are not tame; (TA;) [i. e. wild animals;] of the fem. gender; (TA;) as also وُحُوشٌ (S) and ↓ وَحِيشٌ: (K:) these three words are all used in a collective sense: (ISh:) and ↓ وَحْشِىٌّ signifies a single one of such animals; (S, K;) like زَنْجِىٌّ in relation to زَنْجٌ, and رُومِىٌّ to رُومٌ: (TA:) or وَحْشٌ signifies such as is not tame, of beasts of the desert; and everything that is afraid of human beings (كُلُّ شَىْءٍ يَسْتَوْحِشُ عَنِ النَّاسِ); as also ↓ وَحْشِىٌّ, as though the ى were a corroborative, as in دوَّارِىٌّ: or, accord. to El-Fárábee, وَحْشٌ in the pl. [lexicologically, but not in the language of the grammarians] of ↓ وَحْشِىٌّ, like as رُومٌ is of رُومِىٌّ: (Msb:) or it is used as a sing., as well as collectively; for you say, هٰذَا وَحْشٌ ضَخْمٌ [this is a bulky wild animal], and هٰذِهِ شَاةٌ وَحْشٌ [this is a wild sheep or goat, &c.]: (ISh:) وُحُوشٌ is a pl. of وَحْشٌ, (Msb, K,) and so is وُحْشَانٌ, (Sgh, K,) and so is وَحِيشٌ, [lexicologically, but grammarians term it a quasi-pl. n.,] like as ضَئِينٌ is of ضَأْنٌ: (Sgh, TA:) or وُحُوشٌ is its only broken pl. (TA.) b3: [Hence also, Wild, or shy; applied to girls or women: see an ex. of the word in this sense voce تَوٌّ, where it has a redundant ن affixed to it.] b4: [Hence also] Lone; solitary; without company.

And بِتْنَا وَحْشِينَ We passed the night without food. (TA.) [In another place in the TA, we find لَقَدْ بِتْنَا لَيْلَتَنَا هٰذِهِ وَحْشِى, and so in the L; the last word being evidently a mistranscription, for وَحْشِينَ: and it is added, as though the speaker meant, جَمَاعَةَ وَحْشَى; doubtless a mistake for جَمَاعَةَ وَحْشٍ so that the saying seems to mean, We have passed this our night like a company of wild animals.]

وَحِشٌ: see وَحْشٌ, last signification.

And hence, تَوَقَّفَ عَلَى السَّمَاعِ He limited, or restricted, himself to what had been heard [from the Arabs, with respect to a construction, &c.]; did not transgress it, or overstep it. See مُتَوَقَّفٌ. b2: تَوَقَّفَ فِيهِ (assumed tropical:) He paused upon it; he hesitated, or deliberated, respecting it.

You say, of knowledge, يَتَوَقَّفُ حُصُولُهُ عَلَى كَذَا Its origination rests upon such a thing; as, for instance, speculation.
