(S, K.) It is said in a proverb عَاطٍ بَغَيْرِ أَنْوَاطٍ Taking [or reaching to take] without there being there anything suspended; which is like the saying “ Driving by singing without having a camel ” (S, L, See also art عطو.]) And in another proverb. إِنْ أَعْيَا البَعِيرُ فَزِدْهُ نَوْطًا [If the camel be fatigued, add thou to him an appendage to his full load] meaning, if he be slow and inobsequious in his pace, do not thou lighten his burden: (K:) accord. to As, إِنْ أَعْيَا فَزِدْهُ نَوْطًا is a proverb relating to the pressing a niggardly man.

مُعَلَّق [q. v.] of a bow; (S, K;) by which it is suspended: (K, voce خَطَمَ:) and of a قِرْبَة: [by which it is suspended; (see 1, second sentence;) and of anything.

[of pauc.] أَنْوِطَةٌ and [of mult.] نُوطٌ, with damm, (Az, K,) because the ى in نِيَاطٌ is originally و: the latter is allowable when the number is not meant [to be limited to a few]: or, accord. to some, there are two things thus called: the upper being that of the heart: and the lower, the فَرْج. (Az, L.) [Hence,] المُقَطَّعَةُ النِّيَاطِ (K, and so in a copy of the S, excepting that the former word is there without the article,) is applied to (tropical:) The أَرْنَب [or female hare], (S, K,) like مُقَطَّعَةُ الأَسْحَارِ, (S,) as an appellation of good omen, i. e. as meaning that her نياط will be severed: or, as some say, المُقَطِّعَةُ النِّيَاطِ, (K, and so in some copies of the S, excepting that the former word is there without the article,) as meaning that, by reason of her swiftness, her نياط, or [as in the A,] the نياط of [every one of] the dogs [that pursue her], will be severed. (K.) Hence also the saying, ↓ رَمَاهُ اللّٰهُ بِالنَّيْطِ, meaning [God smote him, or may God smite him,] with death. (S.) [See also art. نيط.] [Hence likewise,] النِّيَاطُ is applied to (tropical:) Two stars [app. s and t of Scorpio] between which is قَلْبُ العَقْرَبِ [which is the star and of that constellation]. (Sgh, K, TA.) b4: Also, i. q. الفُؤَادُ [which generally means The heart; but is probably here used in one of its other senses, namely, the appendages of the œsophagus, consisting of the liver and lungs and heart]. (K.) b5: Also, A certain vein lying within the صُلْب [i. e. backbone, or back], beneath the [portion of flesh and sinew called the] مَتْن; and so ↓ النَّائِطُ: (K:) or the latter is a vein extending in, or along, the صُلْب, [in some copies of the K, قَلْب, which, as is said in the TA, is a mistake,] by the cutting of which the مَصْفُور [or person in whose belly is yellow water, as explained in the TA,] is treated for the purpose of cure. (S, K.) b6: نِيَاطُ المَفَازَةِ (tropical:) The far extent of the desert: (TA:) or of the way thereof; as though it were connected with another desert, (S, K,) hardly coming to an end. (S, TA.) [Thus,] البَعِيدُ نِيَاطُهُ, applied to the Hijáz, means البَعِيدُ مُعَلَّقُهُ (assumed tropical:) [i. e. Whereof every connected part, or appendant tract, is far-extending]. (Ham, p. XXX). The Rájiz, El-'Ajjáj, says, وَبَلْدَةٍ بَعِيدَةِ النِّيَاطِ مَجْهُولَةٍ تَغْتَالُ خَطْوَ الخَاطِى (assumed tropical:) [Many a region far extending, unknown, rendering unapparent the trace of the stepping of the stepper]. (S and O in the present art. and in art. غول.) النَّائطُ: see نِيَاطٌ.

تَنَوُّطٌ, (S, K,) like تَكَرُّمٌ, (K,) and تُنَوِّطٌ, (S, K,) with damm to the ت (K) and fet-h to the ن (TA) and kesr to the و, (K,) or تَنَوِّطٌ, (as in some copies of the S,) and تُنُوِّطٌ, (TA, voce تُبُشِّرٌ,) A certain bird, that lets down strings from a tree, (As, S, K,) and weaves its nest like an oilflask, suspended to those strings, (K,) then produces her young therein; and hence its appellation: (As, S:) a certain bird, like the قَارِيَة in blackness, [or rather in dinginess,] that constructs its nest between two twigs, or branches, or upon one twig, or branch, making its nest long, so that a man cannot reach its eggs until he introduces his arm to the shoulder-joint: or, accord. to Aboo-'Alee, a certain bird, that suspends pieces of the bark of trees [formed into strings], and makes its nest at their extremities, to protect itself from serpents and men and ذَرّ [or young ants, or small red ants]: (TA [see also صَافِرٌ:]) called in Persian كِيپُوْ: (Kzw:) n. un. with ة. (S, K.) [See De Sacy's Chrest. Arabe, 2nd ed., vol. iii., p. 499.] Hence the proverb, أَصْنَعُ مِنْ تَنَوُّطٍ [More skilled in fabricating than a تنوّط]. (Meyd.) تَنْوُاطٌ What is hung (S, K) from, (S,) or upon, (K,) the [kind of vehicle called] هَوْدَجٌ, for ornament: (S, K:) or the implements, or apparatus, &c., that are hung upon a horse. (Ham, p. 165) b2: And hence, (tropical:) Adventives; or persons who introduce themselves among a people, and live among them, not being of their race; and persons whose fathers are free men, or Arabs, and whose mothers are slaves, and who have become conjoined with the genuine and pure Arabs, not being of them: for ذُو التَّنْوَاطِ; [or ذَوُو التَّنْوَاطِ;] the latter of these two words being originally an inf. n.: or it may be an inf. n. used as an epithet. (Ham, ibid.) [See also مَنُوطٌ.]

مَنَاطٌ A place of suspension, or hanging. (Msb.) b2: [Hence the saying,] فُلَانٌ مِنِّى مَنَاطَ الثُّرَيَّا (tropical:) [Such a one is with respect to me as though he were in the place of suspension of the Pleiades]; i. e., in distance: (Sb, S, K * [in the K, هذا is put for فُلَانٌ; and in the CK, مَناطُ is erroneously put for مناطَ]:) or the meaning is, in such a station: the prep. being understood, as in ذَهَبْتُ الشَأْمَ and دَخَلْتُ البَيْتَ: Z says, هُمْ مِنِّى مَنَاطَ الثُّرَيَّا (tropical:) [they are &c.] by reason of their elevated state. (TA.) مَنُوطٌ Suspended; hung. (K.) You say, هٰذَا مَنُوطٌ بِهِ This is suspended, or hung, to him, or it.

Who has affected us with what is displeasing &c.?]; likening the odour of perfume in this case to a stink.

(A, TA.) قَارِصٌ [act. part. n. of قَرَصَهُ; Pinching: &c. (See an ex. voce مَوْقُوصٌ.) b2: (tropical:) Biting; applied to a flea, &c. b3: And hence,] (tropical:) A certain insect, like the بَقّ [q. v.,] (K,) that bites. (TA.) b4: [Hence also, (tropical:) Pinching, or paining;] applied to cold. (A, TA.) b5: And, applied to milk, (As, S, A, K,) and beverage, (M,) or such as is termed نَبِيذ, (A, TA,) (tropical:) That bites the tongue: (As, S, M, A, K:) or, when applied to milk, it is to camels' milk in particular, and signifies sour: (M, TA:) in the K is added, or sour milk upon which much fresh is milked so that the acidity goes away: but this is a mistake; for it is an explanation, given by Sgh, of the epithet مُمَحَّلٌ, occurring in a verse of Abu-n-Nejm, where it is coupled with قَارِصٌ. (TA.) It is said in a proverb, عَدَا القَارِصُ فَحَزَرَ (tropical:) What was biting to the tongue attained to an excessive degree, so that it became acid: meaning, the affair, or case, became distressing. (S.) b6: [Hence also,] قَارِصَةٌ [for كَلِمَةٌ قَارِصَةٌ] (tropical:) A saying that hurts; (S, M, A;) or that pains; (Msb;) or that troubles and pains one (K, * TA) like the pinching of the body: (TA:) pl. قَوَارِصُ.

(M, TA.) b2: A woman's ornament round like a قُرْص: (IF, K:) or set, or adorned, with jewels: (IDrd, M:) such is also called ↓ قُرْص. (TA.)

For further descriptions, and a figured specimen of each kind, see my work on the Manners and Customs of the Modern Egyptians, Appendix A.]

And it is said in a trad., مَنْ خَرَجَ مُجَاهِدًا فِى سَبِيلِ اللّٰهِ فَقُتِلَ قَعْصًا فَقَدِ اسْتَوْجَبَ المَآبَ [Whoso goeth forth as a warrior in the cause of God, and is slain quickly, or suddenly, has a just claim to the permanent abode of happiness in the other world]: (S, * TA:) alluding to the مآب mentioned in the Kur xxxviii. 24 and 39. (Az, TA.) قَعَصٌ: see قَعْصٌ.

رحب

1 رَحُبَ, (Msb, K,) said of a place, (Msb,) or of a thing, (TA,) and رَحُبَتْ, said of a land, (أَرْض, S,) or of a country, (بِلَاد, A, TA,) aor. ـُ inf. n. رُحْبٌ (S, A, * Msb, K) and رَحَابَةٌ; (S, K;) and رَحِبَ, (Msb, K,) and رَحِبَتْ, (TA,) aor. ـَ (Msb, K,) inf. n. رَحَبٌ; (Msb, TA;) and ↓ ارحب, (Msb, K,) and ارحبت; (TA;) It was, or became, ample, spacious, wide, or roomy. (S, K, TA.) رَحُبَتِ الدَّارُ and ↓ أَرْحَبَت both signify the same, i.e. The house, or abode, was ample, &c.; or may the house, or abode, be ample, &c. (S, TA.) and they said, عَلَيْكَ وَطُلَّتْ ↓ أَرْحَبَتْ, meaning May it (the country, البِلَادُ,) be spacious to thee, and be moistened by gentle rain, or by dew: so accord. to Aboo-Is-hák. (TA.) ضَاقَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ الأَرْضُ بِمَا رَحُبَتْ, in the Kur ix. 119, means The earth became strait to them with [i. e. notwithstanding] its spaciousness. (Bd, Jel.) b2: رَحُبَ, accord. to the original usage, is trans. by means of a particle; so that one says, رَحُبَ بِكَ المَكَانُ [The place was, or may the place be, spacious with thee]: afterwards, by reason of frequency of usage, it became trans. by itself; and thus one said, رَحُبَتْكَ الدَّارُ [The house, or abode, was, or may the house, or abode, be, spacious with thee, or to thee]. (Msb.) b3: [Hence the saying,] أَرَحُبَكُمُ الدُّخُولُ فِى طَاعَتِهِ (assumed tropical:) Was it proper, or allowable, for you [to enter among his obeyers? i. e., to become obedient to him?]: (S, K * TA:) referring to El-Kirmánee, (so in the S,) or Ibn-El-Kirmánee: (so in the TA:) mentioned by Kh, on the authority of Nasr Ibn-Seiyár; but he says, (S,) the verb thus used is anomalous; (S, K;) for a verb of the measure فَعُلَ is not trans., (K, TA,) accord. to the grammarians, (TA,) except with the tribe of Hudheyl, who, accord. to AAF, make it trans. (K, TA) when its meaning admits of its being so: (TA:) Kh mentions the phrase رَحُبَتْكُمُ الدَّارُ [meaning The house, or abode, was, or may the house, or abode, be, spacious with, or to, you]; but it is thought that there is an ellipsis here, and that it is for رَحُبَتْ بِكُمُ الدَّارُ: and ElJelál Es-Suyootee mentions, on the authority of AAF, the saying رَحُبَ اللّٰهُ جَوْفَهُ, as meaning وَسَّعَهُ [i. e. May God make wide his belly]: (TA:) [J says, app. quoting Kh,] there is no sound verb of the measure فَعُلَ that is trans. except this; but as to the unsound, there is a difference of opinion: accord. to Ks, قُلْتُهُ is originally قَوُلْتُهُ; but Sb says that this is not allowable, because it is trans.: (S:) Az says that رَحُبَتْكُمْ is not held to be allowable by the grammarians; and that Nasr is not an [approved] evidence. (TA.) 2 رَحَّبَ see 4. b2: رحّب بِهِ (S, A, Msb, K,) inf. n. تَرْحِيبٌ (S, A, K) and تَرْحَابٌ (Har p. 579,) He said to him مَرْحَبًا; (S, Msb;) [he welcomed him with the greeting of مَرْحَبًا; or simply he welcomed him;] he invited him to ampleness, spaciousness, or roominess: (A, K:) and ↓ مَرْحَبَ, also, signifies he said مَرْحَبًا; but the expression commonly known is رَحَّبَ بِهِ. (Har pp. 422-3.) You say, لَقيتُهُ بِالتَّرْحِيبِ [I met him with the greeting of مَرْحَبًا; or with welcoming]. (A.) See also مَرْحَبٌ4 أَرْحَبَ see 1, in three places.

A2: ارحبهُ He made it (a thing, S) ample, spacious, wide, or roomy; (S, K;) as also ↓ رحّبهُ. (CK. [The latter is not in the TA, nor in my MS. copy of the K.]) El-Hajjáj said, when he slew Ibn-El-Kirreeyeh, أَرْحِبْ يَا غُلَامُ جُرْحَهُ [Make wide, O young man, his wound]. (S.) And one says, in chiding a horse or mare, أَرْحِبْ (S, K) and أَرْحِبِى (S, A, K,) meaning Make room, and withdraw. (S, A, K.) 6 تَرَاْحَبَ An instance of this verb occurs in the saying, هٰذَا الأَمْرُ إِنْ تَرَاحَبَتْ مَوَارِدُهُ فَقَدْ تَضَايَقَتْ مَصَادِرُهُ (tropical:) [This affair, or case, if the ways leading to it, or the ways of commencing it, be easy, the ways of return from it, or the ways of completing it, are difficult]. (A, TA.) Q. Q. 1 مَرْحَبَ: see 2.

You say بِلَدٌ رَحْبٌ, and أَرْضٌ رَحْبَةٌ, An ample, or a spacious, or wide, country, and land, (S,) and ↓ ارض رَحِيبَةٌ also: and مَنْزِلٌ رَحْبٌ and ↓ رَحِيبٌ an ample, or a spacious, or wide, place of alighting or abode: and طَرِيقٌ رَحْبٌ a wide road. (TA.) And ↓ قِدْرٌ رُحَابٌ An ample cookingpot: (S:) and رُحَابٌ alone is [elliptically] used as meaning a cooking-pot. (Ham p. 721.) and ↓ اِمْرَأَةٌ رُحَابٌ A wide woman; (K;) meaning wide in respect of the فَرْج. (TK.) And رَجُلٌ الجَوْفِ ↓ رَحِيبُ A man ample, or wide, in the belly: and, as mentioned by Es-Suyootee, (assumed tropical:) a great eater; voracious; (TA;) and so رَحِيبٌ alone. (S, K, TA.) And رَجُلٌ رَحْبُ الصَّدْر (TA) and الصَّدْرِ ↓ رُحْبُ and الصَّدْرِ ↓ رَحِيبُ, (S, TA) A man ample, or dilated, in the breast, or bosom; [meaning (assumed tropical:) free-minded; free from distress of mind; without care: and free from narrowness of mind; liberal, munificent, or generous.] (S, TA.)

رُحْبٌ an inf. n. of رَحُبَ [q.v.]. (S, Msb, K.) [Used as a simple subst.,] Ampleness, spaciousness, wideness, or roominess. (S A, Mgh, K.) You say, دَعَاهُ إِلَى الرُّحْبِ [He invited him to ampleness, &c.]. (A.) And hence the saying of Zeyd Ibn-Thábit to 'Omar, هٰهُنَا بِالرُّحْبِ, meaning Advance to ampleness, &c. (Mgh.) See also مَرْحَبٌ, in two places. b2: [It is also used as an epithet:] see the next preceding paragraph.

(K.) b2: Also, both words, An ample tract of land, that produces much herbage, and in which people alight, or abide, much, or often: (AHn, K:) pl. as above, accord. to the K; but accord. to IAar, رَحْبَةٌ signifies an ample tract of land; (TA;) and he says that its pl. is رُحَبٌ, like as قُرًى is pl. of قَرْيَةٌ: Az says that this occurs as an anomalous pl. of words of the defective class, and that he had not heard a word of the perfect class of the measure فَعْلَةٌ having a pl. of the measure فُعَلٌ; but that IAar is an authority worthy of reliance.
