ي

أس1 يَئِسَ, (S, M, A, Msb, K,) مِنَ الشَّىْءِ, (S, A *, Msb,) aor. ـْ and يَيْئِسُ, (S, M, Msb, K,) the latter of which is extr., (Sb, S, M, K,) like يَحْسِبُ, aor. of حَسِبَ, and يَنْعِمُ, aor. of نَعِمَ, (As, S, TA,) and is of the dial. of the higher classes of Mudar, as are also the similar instances, but the former is of the dial. of the lower classes of the Mudar; (Az, S, Msb, TA;) or, as Sb says, accord. to his companions, the verb was originally of two forms, يَئِسَ, aor. ـْ and يَأَسَ, aor. ـْ and a compound [which is يَئِسَ having يَيْئِسُ for its aor. ] was then formed from the two; but as to وَمِقَ, aor. ـِ and وَفِقَ, aor. ـِ and وَرِمَ. aor. ـِ and وَلِىَ, aor. ـِ and وَثِقَ, aor. ـِ and وَرِثَ, aor. ـِ in each of these only one form is allowable, with the kesr; (S, TA;) and some change the second ى of the aor. of يَئِسَ into ا, and say يَايَسُ and يَآءَسُ; (Mbr, S, TA;) and I'Ab reads, in the Kur. xii. 87, يِيئَسُ, after the manner of the dial. of those who pronounce the first letter of the aor. with kesr excepting such as is with ى [for its first letter], (K, TA,) which dial, is that of Temeem and Keys and Hudheyl and Asad; (Ks, Lh, TA;) the case of ى being made an exception by them because kesr with that letter is difficult of pronunciation; (Sb, TA;) but some of the Benoo-Kelb pronounce

ى also with kesr, which is extr.; (Fr, Lb, TA:) and this is done in the instances of يِيئَسُ and يِيجَلُ because one ى is here strengthened by another; (K, TA;) [I find also, in a copy of the M, يَئِيسُ, as an extr. form of the aor. of this verb, on the authority of Sb; but it is doubtless a mistranscription for يِيئَسُ; and there is another evident mistranscription in a quotation from Sb immediately following in that copy, relating to aor. . of the form of يِيئَسُ, which has been rendered correctly above, in the present work, from the TA;] inf. n. يَأْسٌ (S, M, A, Msb, K) and يَأَسٌ, (TA,) or يَآسٌ, (as in a copy of the M,) and يَآسَةٌ; (Ibn-'Abbád, M, K, TA [but in a MS. copy of the K I find it written يَأَسَةٌ; and in the CK, يَأْسَة;]) and إِيَاسٌ is also used as an inf. n. of this verb, though properly an inf. n. of 4; (Msb;) He despaired of the thing; syn. of the inf. n. قُنُوط, (S, A, K,) contr. of رَجَآءٌ: (M, A, K:) or he cut off hope of the thing: (A, K: *) or his hope of the thing became cut off: (Mgh:) and ↓ إِسْتَيْئَسَ signifies the same, (S, A, K,) in like manner followed by مَنْ; (S;) and so does ↓ إِتَّأَسَ, (S, K,) [originally إِيتَأَسَ,] of the measure إِفْتَعَلَ, but with incorporation [of the ى into the ت]. (S.) It is allowable to transpose the letters of يَئِسَ, so as to say أَيِسَ; but not those of the inf. n. (Msb.) There is not a word in the Arabic language commencing with ى followed by ء except يَئِسَ [and its derivatives] (IKtt) [and يَأَيَأَ and its derivatives, and words commencing with an augmentative ى followed by a radical يَاُ^َ]. The expression لَا يَأْسَ مِنْ طُولٍ.

occurring in a description of Mohammad, means that his stature was such as would not make [one] to despair of his height; for he was nearer to tallness than he was to shortness: (K, * TA:) يأس is here an indeterminate noun governed in the accus. case by the negative لا: (TA:) or, accord. to one relation, the words are, لَا يَائِسَ مِنْ طُولٍ, [in the CK, erroneously, لا يايَسُ,] meaning, that his height was not despaired of; i. e., he who vied with him in tallness would not despair of him on account of his excessive height: (K, TA:) so that يَائِس is here in the sense of مَيْؤُوس, like مَآءٌ دَافِقٌ in the sense of مَدْفُوقٌ. (TA.) b2: [Hence,] يَئِسَتْ المَرْأَهُ The woman was, or became, barren. (Msb.) b3: يَئِسَ, (S, M, A, Msb, K,) aor. ـْ and يَيْئِسُ, (M,) also signifies (tropical:) He knew; syn. عَلِمَ; (S, M, A, Msb, K;) in the dial. of En-Nakha'; (S, Msb;) or, accord. to El-Kelbee, (M,) or Ibn-El-Kelbee, (TA,) in the dial. of Wahbeel, a tribe of En-Nakha'; or, accord. to El-Kásim Ibn-Maan, of the dial. of Hawázin. (M, TA.) So in the Kur. [xiii. 30] أَفَلَمْ يَيْئَسِ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا [Do not then those who have believed know?]: (S, M, Msb, K:) or, accord. to some of the lexicologists, do not then those who have believed know with a knowledge wherewith they despair of its being otherwise than what they know? or the meaning is, do not then those who have believed despair of the belief of those whom God has described as those who will not believe? (M, TA;) but I' Ab (M, TA) and 'Alee and others (TA) used to read أَفَلَمْ يَتَبَيَّنِ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا; and I'Ab said that he thought that the writer had written يَيْئَس in a state of drowsiness. (M *, TA.) Soheym Ibn-Wetheel El-Yarboo'ee also uses the verb in this sense, in a verse cited in art. يسر, voce يَسَرَ, q. v. (S, M *). [Z-says,] Yousay, قَدْ يَئِسْتُ أَنَّكَ رَجُلُ صِدْقٍ, meaning, (tropical:) I have known [that thou art a good man], because with eager desire is restlessness, and with the cessation thereof is quiet and tranquility; wherefore it is said, اليَأْسُ أَحَدُ الرَّاحَتَيْنِ [Despair is one of the two states of rest.] (A, TA.) 4 أَيْأَسَهُ, (S, M, A, Mgh, K,) inf. n. إِيَاسٌ, (L, Mgh, Msb,) of the same measure as كِتَابٌ, (Msb,) originally إِيْآسٌ, (L, Msb,) like إِيْعَاسٌ, (L,) and إِيْمَانٌ, (Msb,) He made him to despair: (S, M, A, K:) or to cut off hope: (A:) or to cease to have hope: (Mgh:) مَنْ كَذَا of such a thing: (S:) as also ↓ آيَسَهُ [from أَيِسَ]. (Mgh, K.) b2: [Hence,] أَيْأُسَهَا اللّٰهُ God made her to be, or become, barren. (Msb.) 8 إِيْتَاَ^َ see 1.10 إِسْتَيْاَ^َ see 1.

يَأَسٌ Phthisis, or consumption; syn. سِلٌّ; (M, K;) because he who is affected by it is despaired of; (M;) or [because] the first who was affected by it was اليَأَسُ, (K, TA,) or إِلْيَاس, (TA,) the son of Mudar the son of Nizár: (K, TA:) or, as Suh says, in the R, this disease was called دَآءُ يَاس, or دَآءُ إِلْيَاسَ, because الياس the son of Mudar died of it. (TA.) يَؤُسٌ: see يَائِسٌ.

يَؤُوسٌ: see يَائِسٌ.

يَئِيسٌ: see يَائِسٌ.

يَائِسٌ (M, Mgh, Msb) and ↓ يَئِيس (M) and ↓ يَؤُوسٌ (S, M, A, K) and ↓ يَؤُسٌ (M, K) Despairing: (S, M, A, Mgh, K:) but the third has an intensive signification, (Bd, xli. 49,) [and so the last.]

يَائِسَةٌ, A barren woman. (Msb.) مَيْؤُوسٌ مِنْهُ Despaired of. (M, Mgh, Msb. *)

(TA.) b2: خَمَسَ القَوْمَ, (S, A, Msb, K,) aor. ـِ (S, Msb, K,) inf. n. خَمْسٌ, (Msb,) He was, or became, the fifth of the people: (S, A, Msb, K:) or he made them five by [adding to their number] himself. (S, K.) b3: خَمَسَ also signifies He made fourteen to be fifteen. (T in art. ثلث.) b4: And He made forty-nine to be fifty with himself. (A'Obeyd, S in that art.) b5: خَمَسَ الحَبْلَ, aor. ـِ inf. n. خَمْسٌ, He made the rope of five strands twisted together. (TA.) A2: خَمَسَتِ الإِبِلُ The camels drank on the fifth day, counting the day of the next preceding drinking as the first. (TA.) [See خَمْسٌ.] b2: خَمَسَ, said of a horse, He came fifth in the race.

(K.) b3: خَمَّسَتْ She brought forth her fifth offspring. (TA in art. بكر.) b4: And خمّسهُ He made it five-fifths. (Msb.) b5: خمّس لِامْرَأَتِهِ, or عِنْدَهَا, He remained five nights with his wife: and in like manner the verb is used in relation to any saying or action. (TA voce سَبَّعَ.) b6: تَخْمِيسٌ also signifies [The watering of land or seedproduce on the fifth day, counting the day of the next preceding watering as the first;] the watering of land that is [next] after the تَرْبِيع. (TA.) 4 اخمس القَوْمُ The party of men became five: (S, K:) b2: also, The party of men became fifty. (M and L in art. ثلث.) b3: اخمس الرَّجُلُ The man was, or became, one whose camels came to water on the fifth day, counting the day of the next preceding drinking as the first. (S, * K, * TA.) [See خِمْسٌ.]

خَمْسٌ fem. of خَمْسَةٌ [q. v.].

خُمْسٌ: see خُمُسٌ.

خِمْسٌ The drinking of camels on the fifth day, counting the day of the next preceding drinking as the first; their drinking one day, then pasturing three days, then coming to the water on the fifth day, the first and last days, on which they drink, being thus reckoned: this is the correct explanation, accord. to Aboo-Sahl El-Khowlee; and Aboo-Zekereeyà says the like; (TA;) or their pasturing three days, and coming to the water on the fourth day [not counting the day of the next preceding watering; for it is evident that this explanation is virtually the same as that preceding]: (S, K:) accord. to Lth, the drinking of camels on the fourth day, counting the day on which they returned from [the next preceding] watering; but Az says, that this is a mistake; the day of returning from watering not being counted [when it is explained as meaning the drinking on the fourth day]: (TA:) pl. أَخْمَاسٌ, the only pl. form. (Sb, TA.) [See ظِمْءٌ.] Hence, فَلَاةٌ خِمْسٌ [as in copies of the K, or it may be فَلَاةُ خِمْسٍ,] A desert in which the water is far distant, so that the camels come to the water on the fourth day, exclusive of the [next preceding] day on which they drank. (Az, K, TA.) Hence also the saying, فُلَانٌ يَضْرِبُ أَخْمَاسًا لِأَسْدَاسٍ (S, K *) (tropical:) Such a one makes a pretence of اخماس [or fifth-day waterings] for the purpose of اسداس [or sixth-day waterings]: i. e., he advances his camels from the خِمْس to the سِدْس: (K:) a prov.: (TA:) meaning, such a one strives to deceive, or circumvent: (S, K:) applied to him who acts towards another with artifice, pretending that he obeys him, or complies with his desire: (TA:) or to him who pretends one thing while he means another: (K:) and taken from the saying, related by AO and IAar, ضَرَبَ أَخْمَاسًا لِأَسْدَاسٍ [He made a pretence of اخماس for the purpose of اسداس]; said of him who proposes a thing whereby he means another thing, which he commences and by slow degrees accomplishes: (TA:) for a man, when he desires to make a long journey, accustoms his camels to drink خِمْسًا سِدْسًا [i. e. on the fifth day and then on the sixth, in each case counting the day of the next preceding drinking as the first]: (K, TA:) the origin of the saying, accord. to IAar, being this: an old man was among his camels, accompanied by his sons, men, who pastured them, and who had been long far distant from their families; and he told them one day to pasture their camels رِبْعًا [i. e. watering on the fourth day, counting the day of the next preceding watering as the first], which they did, proceeding in the way towards their families: then they proposed to do so خِمْسًا; and then, سِدْسًا: whereupon the old man, understanding what they meant, said, ye are doing nothing but making a pretence of اخماس for the purpose of اسداس: the object of your desire is not the pasturing of them, but it is only your families. (TA.) [See below, voce خُمُسٌ, a saying similar in words but different in meaning.] b2: It is also used for سَيْرُ خِمْسٍ [A journey in which the camels are watered only on the first and fifth days; a journey in which the second and third and fourth days are without water]. (L in art. جلذ.) You say خِمسٌ بَصْبَاصٌ, [and صَبْصَابٌ,] and قَعْقَاعٌ, and حَثْحَاثٌ, [and حَصْحَاصٌ, &c.,] i. e. A journey [in which the camels are watered only on the first and fifth days,] in the course of which, to the water, there is no flagging, by reason of its remoteness. (TA.) El-'Ajjáj uses the expression خِمْسٌ كَحَبْلِ الشَّعَرِ المُنْحَتِّ meaning, A [journey of the kind termed] خمس without any deviation, like a rope made of hair that has fallen off and that is free from any unevenness. (L, TA.) b3: خِمْسٌ also signifies The fifth young one, or offspring. (A in art. ثلث.) A2: A [garment of the kind called] بُرْد, (S, K,) of the fabric of El-Yemen; (S;) so called because first made for a king of El-Yemen named خِمْسٌ, (AA, S,) or الخِمْسُ; (K, TA;) as also ↓ خَمِيسٌ. (TA.) For the latter word, we find in the work of Bkh, خَمِيص, with ص; which, if correct, is masc. of خَمِيصَةٌ, which is a small kind of كِسَآء. (IAth, and L.) [The pl. of خِمْسٌ applied to a بُرْدَة is أَخْمَاسٌ.] See also مَخْمُوسٌ, in four places.

خُمُسٌ and ↓ خُمْسٌ A fifth part; (Msb, K;) as also ↓ خَمِيسٌ, (S, in art. ثلث, and IAmb and Msb,) agreeably with a rule applicable in the case of every one of the units, except ثَلِيثٌ: (TA:) some allow this last; but Az disallows it, and خميس also: (S in art. ثلث:) pl. أَخْمَاسٌ. (Msb, TA.) b2: [Hence, app.,] ضَرَبَ أَخْمَاسَهُ فِى

أَسْدَاسِهِ He turned his five senses towards his six relative points; [namely, above, below, before, behind, right, and left:] an allusion to the collecting all the thoughts to examine a thing, and turning the attention in all directions. (MF.) خَمْسَةٌ, (S, K,) masc.; and خَمْسٌ, fem.; (S;) [Five;] a certain number. (S, K.) You say خَمْسَةُ رِجَالٍ [Five men], and خَمْسُ نِسْوَةٍ [Five women]. (S.) You say also, عِنْدِى خَمْسَةُ دَرَاهِمْ [I have five dirhems], with refa: and if you please, you incorporate the ة into the د [and say, خَمْسَة دَّرَاهِمَ]: but when you prefix ال to دراهم, you say, عِنْدِى خَمْسَةُ الدَّرَاهِمِ [I have the five dirhems], with damm; and may not incorporate, because you have incorporated the ل into the د: and in the case of a fem. n. you say, عِنْدِى خَمْسُ القُدُورِ [I have the five cooking-pots]: also, هٰذِهِ الخَمْسَةُ الدَّرَاهِمِ [These five dirhems]; and, if you please, الدَّرَاهِمُ, using it in the manner of an epithet: and in like manner [you use the other nouns of number] to عَشَرَةٌ [inclusive]. (S.) Yousay also, صُمْنَا خَمْسًا مِنَ الشَّهْرِ [We fasted during a period of five nights of the month with their days]; making لَيَالٍ to predominate over أَيَّام, when you do not mention the word ايّام, though the fasting is in the day; because the night of each day precedes the day: but when you mention the word ايّام, you say, صُمْنَا خَمْسَةَ أَيَّامٍ [We fasted five days]. (ISk, TA.) يَعَضُّ بِالخَمْسِ means He bites the fingers: these being [five in number and] of the fem gender: (Ham p. 790:) [i. e.] خَمْسٌ means the five fingers. (Har p. 76.) [Respecting a peculiar pronunciation of the people of El-Hijáz, and a case in which خَمْسَة is imperfectly decl., see ثَلَاثَةٌ.] b2: [خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ, masc.; and خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ, fem.; Fifteen. For variations thereof, see art. عشر.]

خَمْسُونَ [Fifty, and fiftieth,] is also written and pronounced خَمِسُونَ, with kesr to the خَمَسُونَ, by poetic license, as related by Ks; or م, with fet-h, as related by others, after the manner of خَمْسَةٌ and خَمَسَاتٌ: (Fr, TA:) accord. to the T, the variation خَمِسُونَ, with kesr to the م, is [dialectic, being] similar to خَمْسَ عَشِرَةَ, with kesr to the ش [in the dial. of Nejd]. (TA.) جَاؤُوا خُمَاسَ, and ↓ مَخْمَسَ, They came five and five; [or five and five together; or five at a time and five at a time;] (K, TA;) like as they say, ثُنَآءَ and مَثْنَى, and رُبَاعَ and مَرْبَعَ: (TA:) or, accord. to A 'Obeyd, not more than أُحَادَ and ثُنَآءَ and ثُلَاثَ and رُبَاعَ has been heard, except عُشَارَ occurring in a verse of El-Kumeyt. (TA in art. عشر.) خَمِيسٌ: see خُمُسٌ: b2: and مَخْمُوسٌ, in two places. b3: An army; because consisting of five parts, namely, the van, the body, the right wing, the left wing, and the rear; (S, A, K;) or because the spoils are divided into fifths among it; but this latter assertion requires consideration; (ISd, MF;) for this division of the spoils is an affair of the Muslim law, whereas خميس [thus applied] is an old term: (MF:) or an army having numerous weapons; syn. جَيْشٌ خَشِنٌ. (TA.) b4: يَوْمُ الخَمِيسِ, (S, Msb, K,) and simply الخَمِيسُ, Thursday; the fifth day of the week; thus used for الخَامِسُ, in like manner as الدَّبَرَانُ is applied to the star [that follows the Pleiades, for الدَّابِرُ]: (TA:) pl. [of pauc.] أَخْمِسَةٌ and [of mult.] أَخْمِسَآءُ (S, Msb, K) and أَخَامِسُ. (Fr, TA.) Az used to say, مَضَى

الخَمِيسُ بِمَا فِيهِ [Thursday passed with what happened in it], making it sing. and masc.: but Abu-l-Jarráh used to say, مَضَىالخَمِيسُ بِمَ فِيهِنَّ, making it pl. and fem., and using it as a n. of number. (Lh, TA.) It has no dim. (Sb, S in art. امس.) A2: See also خِمْسٌ, last signification.

A3: مَا أَدْرِى أَىُّ خَمِيسِ النَّاسِ هُوَ means I know not what company of men it is. (Ibn-' Abbád, Sgh, K.) خُمَاسِىٌّ A boy five spans (أَشْبَار) in height: (S, Mgh, Msb, * K:) said of him who is increasing in height [but has not attained his full stature]: (Msb:) fem. with ة: (Lth, TA:) and in like manner you say رُبَاعِىٌّ: (S, Msb:) but you do not say سُبَاعِىٌّ, (Lth, S, K,) nor سُدَاسِىٌّ; (Lth, K;) [i. e., in speaking of a boy;] for when he has attained seven spans, (S,) or six spans, (Lth, K,) he is a man: (Lth, S, K:) or to a slave you apply the epithet سداسىّ also; and to a garment, or piece of cloth, سباعىّ. (Msb.) b2: See also مَخْمُوسٌ. b3: [Also A word composed of five letters, radical only, or radical and augmentative.]

خَمِيسِىٌّ One who fasts alone on Thursday. (IAar, Th.) خَامِسٌ [Fifth]: for this you also say خَامٍ; (ISk, S, K;) whence the phrase, جَآئَ فُلَانٌ خَامِيًا [Such a one came fifth], for خَامِسًا: (ISk, S:) [fem. with ة.] b2: [خَامِسَ عَشَرَ and خَامِسَة عَشْرَةَ, the former masc. and the latter fem., meaning Fifteenth, are subject to the same rules as ثَالِثَ عَشَرَ and its fem., explained in art. ثلث, q. v.]

(ISk, TA.) Hence the saying, ↓ هُمَا فِى بُرْدَة أَخْمَاسٍ (assumed tropical:) They two have become near together, and in a state of agreement. (K.) A poet says, صَيَّرَنِى جُودُ يَدَيهِ وَمَنْ

(MF, TA.) Hence, in the Kur [xxix. 67], وَيُتَخَطَّفُ ↓ النَّاسُ مِنْ حَوْلِهِمْ CCC [And men are carried off by force from around them]. (TA.) b2: [And hence,] هٰذَا سَيْفٌ يَخْطَفُ الرَّأْسَ (tropical:) [This is a sword that will strike off the head].

(Sb, TA.) Hence, in the Kur [xxxvii. 10], ↓إِلَّا مَنْ خَطِفَ الخَطْفَةَ (tropical:) Except him who steals the [opportunity of] hearing: (TA:) or who snatches unawares and by stealth, (Bd,) or hears and snatches, (Jel,) the speech of the angels: (Bd, Jel:) EL-Hasan read ↓ الّا من خَطَّفَ الخطفة, originally اخْتَطَفَ: (S, TA:) and another reading, ascribed to him and others, is ↓خِطِّفَ; but this is very weak. (TA.) b5: خَطِفَ, aor. ـَ and خَطَفَ, aor. ـِ inf. n. خَطَفَانٌ; (K;) thus in all the copies of the K, but correctly خَطْفٌ, as in the L; (TA;) said of a camel, (assumed tropical:) He went along quickly. (K, TA.) and مَرَّ يَخْطَفُ خَطْفًا مُنْكَرًا (assumed tropical:) He went along at a quick rate [such as was deemed strange, or disapproved]. (TA.)

(TA.) 2 خَطَّفَ see 1, first sentence.4 اخطف بِالأَمْرِ He said, Seize thou this [thing], O man; or take it, or carry it off, by force; or snatch it away. (Sgh.) A2: أَخْطَفَ لِى مِنْ حَدِيثِهِ شَيْئًا ثُمَّ سَكَتَ, inf. n. إِخْطَافٌ, (assumed tropical:) He cut short somewhat of his discourse, or narrative, which he had begun to me, on some other thing's occurring to his mind, and was silent. (TA.) b2: أَخْطَفَتْهُ الحُمَّى, (Lh, O, TA,) or أَخْطَفَتْ عَنْهُ, (JK,) or b3: اِخْتَطَفَتْهُ, (K,) (assumed tropical:) The fever left him, or quitted him. (Lh, JK, O, K.) b4: اخطفهُ المَوْتُ (assumed tropical:) [Death missed him by a little;] he escaped death by a little. (JK.) And اخطف الرَّمِيَّةَ (assumed tropical:) He missed the animal at which he shot or cast, (JK, S, K,) nearly hitting it: (JK:) and in like manner, الشَّىْءَ the thing. (Ibn-Buzurj, TA.) And He captured, or caught, the animal at which he shot or cast; expl. by إِذَا كَانَ يَصِيدُهَا [perhaps a mistranscription for يُصِيبُهَا, and, if so, meaning he hit]. (JK.) And اخطف said of an arrow, (assumed tropical:) [It missed: or it fell upon the ground, and then glided along upon the ground to the butt, or object of aim: (see خَاطِفٌ:) and] it went straight. (TA.) b5: اخطف said of a man, (assumed tropical:) He became affected with a slight sickness, and then speedily recovered. (TA.) b6: أِخْطَافُ الحَشَا i. q. اِنْطِوَآؤُهُ [meaning (assumed tropical:) The state of being lean, or lank, in the belly: see مُخْطَفٌ]. (S, TA.) الأِخْطَافُ in horses is a fault: it is (assumed tropical:) The contr. of الاِنْتِفَاخُ: AHeyth says that it is, in horses, (assumed tropical:) smallness of the جَوْف [here meaning the belly, or abdomen]. (TA.) 5 تَخَطَّفَ see 1, in two places.6 تخاطفوا الكُرَةَ بَيْنَهُمْ [They contended together in snatching away the ball] with the goffsticks. (K * and TA in art. جحف.) 8 اختطف; and its variations خَطَّفَ and خِطِّفَ; and يِخِطِّفُ and يَخِطِّفُ, variations of its aor.: see 1, in seven places. b2: كَأَنَّهُ يَخْتَطِفُ فِى

مَشْيِهِ عُنُقَهُ, said of a swift camel, means As though he were straining, or stretching, (يَجْتَذِبُ,) in his going along, his neck. (S.) A2: See also 4.

(JK, K.) b3: خُطْفٌ and ↓ خُطُفٌ (assumed tropical:) Leanness; or lankness of the belly: and (assumed tropical:) lightness of the flesh of the side. (TA) خُطُفٌ: see what next precedes. b2: بِهِ خُطُفٌ (assumed tropical:) In him (namely, a man, JK) is madness, or diabolical possession; (JK, TA;) as also ↓ خُطَّفٌ: but this latter may be either a pl., like ضُرَّبٌ [pl. of ضَارِبٌ], or a sing. (TA.) خَطْفَةٌ A single act of seizing; or, of taking, or carrying off, by force: (TA:) or, of doing so quickly; of snatching away. (Mgh, Msb, TA.)

(Mgh.) b2: Also (assumed tropical:) A single suck of a small quantity of milk quickly taken by a child from the breast. (TA.) b3: For its meaning in the Kur xxxvii. 10, see 1. b4: See also خُطْفٌ.

(Az, TA.) خُطَّفٌ: see خُطُفٌ.

خوف

1 خَافَ, (S, Msb, K, &c.,) originally خَوِفَ, (Lth, L, &c.,) first Pers\. خِفْتُ, (TA,) aor. ـَ (S, K, &c.,) originally يَخْوَفُ, (L,) imperative خَفْ, (S,) inf. n. خَوْفٌ (S, Msb, K, &c.) and ↓ خِيفٌ, [originally خِوْفٌ,] (Lh, TA,) erroneously written in the K with fet-h [to the خ], but some say that this is a simple subst., not an inf. n., (TA,) and ↓ خِيفَةٌ, (Lh, S, Msb, K, &c.,) originally خِوْفَةٌ, (K,) but some say that this also is a simple subst., not an inf. n., (TA,) and [therefore] its pl. is خِيفٌ, (Lh, JK, S, and so in the CK,) in [some of] the copies of the K erroneously written خِيَفٌ, (TA,) or this [as well as the next preceding] may be an inf. n., for some few inf. ns. have pls., (ISd, TA,) and مَخَافَةٌ, (S, Msb, K, &c.,) originally مَخْوَفَةٌ, for which last, the first of these inf. ns. is used by a poet, and therefore made fem., (TA,) He feared; he was afraid or frightened or terrified; syn. فَزِعَ. (K.) It is also trans.: (Msb:) you say, خَافَهُ and ↓ تخوّفهُ [He feared, or was afraid of, him, or it]; (Msb, TA;) both signifying the same: (TA:) [and so خَافَ مِنْهُ; or this may mean he feared what might happen to him from him, or it:] and عَلَيْهِ شَيْئًا ↓ تخوّف, meaning خَافَهُ [i. e. خَافَ عَلَيْهِ شَيْئًا He feared for him a thing]: (S, K:) and خَاَفَهُ عَلَى مَالِهِ and عَلَيْهِ ↓ تخوّفهُ [He feared him, or it, for his property]. (Mgh.) b2: [Hence,] it is also used in the sense of ظَنَّ [He thought, or opined]: and in this case, the Arabs sometimes use it in the same manner as a verb signifying an oath, and give it the same kind of complement; as in an ex. cited voce دَرِدَ [q. v.]. (S in art. درد.) And He knew. (Lh, Kr, K.) Hence, وَإِنِ امْرَأَةٌ خَافَتْ مِنْ بَعْلِهَا نُشُوزًا [And if a woman know that there is, on the part of her husband, injurious treatment, or unkindness, or estrangement], (K,) in the Kur [iv. 127]. (TA.) And hence also, فَمَنْ خَافَ مِنْ مُوصٍ جَنَفًا [And he who knoweth that there is, on the part of the testator, an inclining to a wrong course, or a declining from the right course, &c.], (K,) in the Kur [ii. 178]; thus explained by Lh. (TA.) A2: خَافَهُ, (S,) first Pers\. خُفْتُهُ, (K,) aor. ـُ (S,) He exceeded him in fear. (S, K. *) You say, فَخَافَهُ ↓ خَاوَفَهُ, (S,) inf. n. of the former مُخَاوَفَهُ, (TA,) i. e. [He vied with him to see which of them would exceed the other in fear, and] he exceeded him in fear. (S.) 2 خوّفهُ, (Msb, K,) inf. n. تَخْوِيفٌ, (TA,) i. q. أَخَافَهُ. (Msb, K.) See the latter, in two places. He put fear into him. (JK, TA.) خَوِّفْنَا [app. addressed to God] is mentioned by Lh as meaning Render the Kur-án and the Traditions beautiful to us in order that we may [give heed thereto and] fear. (TA.) b2: He made him to be in such a state, or condition, that men feared him; (JK, K;) he made him to be feared by men. (M.) Hence, in the Kur [iii. 169], إِنَّمَا ذٰلِكُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ يُخَوِّفُ أَوْلِيَآءَهُ, i. e. [Verily that is the devil:] he causeth his friends to be feared by you: [or that devil causeth &c.:] or, as Th says, causeth you to fear by his friends. (TA.) A2: He diminished it, lessened it, or took from it; and so خوّف مِنْهُ. (TA.) [See also 5.] b2: خوّف غَنَبَهُ He sent away his sheep, or goats, flock by flock. (TA.) 3 خَاْوَفَ see 1, last sentence.4 اخافهُ, (Msb, K,) inf. n. إِخَافَةٌ (S) and إِخَافٌ, like كِتَابٌ, (Lh, TA,) [but the latter is irreg. and rare,] He, or it, (an affair, a case, or an event, Msb,) caused him, or made him, to fear, or be afraid; put him in fear; frightened, or terrified, him; (TA;) and ↓ خوّفهُ, (Msb, K,) inf. n. تَخْوِيفٌ, (S, TA,) signifies the same. (S, Msb, K.) So in the phrase اخاف الثَّغْرُ [The enemies' frontier caused to fear, &c.; was insecure:] or fear entered from it. (TA.) You say also, مَالَ الحَائِطُ فَأَخَافَ النَّاسَ [The wall leaned, and caused the people to fear]. (Msb.) And أَخَافَ اللُّصُوصُ الطَّرِيقَ [for أَخَافَ اللُّصُوصُ أَهْلَ الطَّرِيقِ The robbers caused the people of the road, or the passengers thereof, to fear, &c.; or it may be rendered the robbers caused the road to be insecure]. (Msb.) And أَخَفْتُهُ الأَمْرَ فَخَافَهُ [I caused him to fear the thing, or affair, &c., and he feared it; making the verb doubly trans.]; as also إِيَّاهُ فَتَخَوَّفَهُ ↓ خَوَّفْتُهُ. (Msb.) It is said in a trad., أَخِيفُوا الهَوَامَّ قَبْلَ أَنْ تُخِيفَكُمْ Make ye the venomous reptiles and the like to fear before they make you to fear; (TA;) i. e. kill ye them before they kill you. (JM, TA.) b2: مَا أَخْوَفَنِى

عَلَيْكَ [How greatly do I fear for thee!]. (TA.) 5 تخوّفهُ: see 1, in three places.

A2: Also He took by little and little (S, L, K) from it, (S, K,) or from its sides; (L;) as also تحوّفهُ: (S and K * in arts. حوف and حيف:) or he took from its extremities; so in the A; in which it is said to be tropical: accord. to IF, it is originally [تخوّن,] with ن [in the place of the ف]. (TA.) Dhu-rRummeh says, (S,) or not he, but some other poet, for it is ascribed to several different authors, (L,) تَخَوَّفَ الرَّحْلُ مِنْهَا تَامِكًا قَرِدًا كَمَا تَخَوَّفَ ظَهْرَ النَّبْعَةِ السَّفَنُ

[Her saddle abraded from a long and high, compact hump, like as when the piece of skin used for smoothing arrows has abraded from the back of a rod of the tree called نبعة]. (S. [See also 5 in art. حوف, where another reading of this verse is given. In the TA, in the present art., in the places of الرحل and ظهر, I find السَّيْرُ and عُود.]) Hence, (S, K,) accord. to Fr, (TA,) أَوْيَأَخَذِهِمْ عَلَى تَخَوُّفٍ, (S, K,) in the Kur [xvi. 49], (S,) which Az explains as meaning [Or are they secure from his destroying them] by causing them to suffer loss [by little and little] in their bodies and their possessions, or cattle, and their fruits: or, accord. to Zj, it may mean, after causing them to fear, by destroying a town, so that the one next to it shall fear. (TA.) You say also, تخوّف مِنْ مَالِى He took by little and little from my property. (JK.) And تَخَوَّفَنَا السَّنَةُ [The year of drought, or sterility, took from us by little and little]. (JK.) And تَخَوّفَنِى حَقِّى

[He diminished to me by little and little my right, or due]. (JK.) And تَخَوَّفَهُ حمْقُهُ (tropical:) i. q. اهْضَمَهُ [an evident mistranscription for اِهْتَضَمَهُ or هَضَمَهُ, meaning His stupidity deprived him of his right, or due]. (TA.) خَافٌ A man very fearful or timorous; (S, K;) [and so, in the present day, ↓ خَوَّافٌ; the former originally] of the measure فَعِلٌ, like فَرِقٌ and فَزِعٌ; and similar to صَاتٌ, meaning a man “ having a strong, or loud, voice: ” (S:) or i. q. ↓ خَائِفٌ: (TA:) accord. to Kh, it may be [originally خَاوِفٌ,] of the measure فَاعِلٌ, having the medial radical rejected; or [خَوْفٌ,] of the measure فَعْلٌ; and in either case, the dim. is [↓ خُوَيْفٌ,] with و: so says Sb. (TA.) خَوْفٌ inf. n. of 1. (S, Msb, K, &c.) b2: Also Slaughter: whence, وَلَنَبْلُوَنَّكُمْ بِشَىْءٍ مِنَ الْخَوْفِ [And we will assuredly try you with somewhat of slaughter]; (Lh, K;) in the Kur [ii. 150]. (TA.) [See also 4.] b3: And Fighting: whence, فَإِذَا جَآءَ الخَوْفُ [But when fighting cometh; in the Kur xxxiii. 19]. (K.) A2: See also خَائِفٌ.

A3: Also A red hide from which are cut strips like thongs, (Kr, K, TA,) and then upon these are put [ornaments of the kind termed] شَذْر; worn by a girl: (TA:) a dial. var. of حَوْفٌ [q. v.]: (K:) but this latter is preferable. (L, TA.) خِيفٌ: see 1, first sentence.

خَافَةٌ A [coat of the kind called] جُبَّة, of hide, or leather, which the collector of honey wears; (Akh, JK, K;) and also worn by the water-carrier: (JK:) or a fur-garment, or hide with the fur or wool on it, worn by him who enters into the places occupied by bees, in order that they may not sting him: (TA:) or a [pouch of the kind termed] خَرِيطَة, (S, K,) of hide, or leather, (S,) narrow in the upper part and wide in the lower part, (TA,) in which honey is collected: (S, K:) or a [round piece of leather with a running string by means of which it may be converted into a bag, such as is termed] سُفْرَة, like the خَرِيطَة, made, or sewed, small, [for مُصْعَدَةٌ or مُصَعَّدَةٌ, which I find in different copies of the K, and to which no appropriate meaning is assignable, I read مُصْغَرَةٌ or مُصَغَّرَةٌ, (see 2 in art. صغر, and particularly أَصْغَرَ القِرْبَةَ,)] having its head [or border] raised, for honey; (K;) so says Skr, in explaining the following verse: or, as IB says, accord. to Aboo-'Alee, it is from the phrase النَّاسُ أَخْيَافٌ, meaning “ men,” or “ the people,”

“ are different, one from another; ” for it is a خَرِيطَة of hide, or leather, embellished with different kinds of embellishment; and if so it should be mentioned in art. خيف: (TA:) [but] the dim. is ↓ خُوَيْفَةٌ. (JK.) Aboo-Dhu-eyb says, [describing a collector of wild honey,] تَأَبَّطَ خَافَةً فِيهَا مِسَابٌ فَأَصْبَحَ يَقْتَرِى مَشَدًا بِشِيقِ (S,) [He put beneath his armpit a خافة in which was a receptacle for honey, and betook himself to making successive endeavours to reach the most difficult part of a mountain by means of a rope, or rope of palm-fibres; for] he means شِيقًا بِمَسَدٍ; the phrase being inverted: (S and TA in art. شيق:) or he means, [betook himself to] taking successive holds of a rope (يَتَتَبَّعُ حَبْلًا) tied to a شيق [here best rendered mountain-top] in his descent to the place of the honey; so that there is no inversion. (TA in that art.) b2: Also i. q. عَيْبَةٌ [A kind of basket, or receptacle, of hide, or leather]; (TA;) the thing in which fruits are gathered; also called مِخْرَفٌ. (Har p. 374.) b3: And خَافَةُ الزَّرْعِ is said to mean The envelope of the grain of seed-produce; so called because it protects it: to this the believer is likened in a trad. [as some relate it]; but the reading [commonly known] is [خَامَة,] with م. (TA.) [See خامة, in art. خيم.]

خِيفَةٌ; pl. خِيفٌ: see 1, first sentence. b2: [Sometimes it may mean, agreeably with analogy, A kind of fear.]

(TA.) خَائِفٌ Fearing; being afraid or frightened or terrified: (S, * TA:) pl. خُوَّفٌ (S, K) and خُيَّفٌ, (S,) or خِيَّفٌ, (K,) or, accord. to Ks, خُيَّفٌ and خِيفٌ and خُوفٌ, (L,) [but the second and third of these three should be خِيَّفٌ and خُوَّفٌ, for all are said to be of the measure فُعَّلٌ,] and ↓ خَوْفٌ; or this last is a quasi-pl. n.; (K;) whence, in the Kur [vii. 54], خَوْفًا وَطَمَعًا, meaning Worship ye Him fearing his punishment and eagerly desiring his recompense. (TA.) See also خَافٌ. b2: and see مَخُوفٌ.

طَرِيقٌ مُخَافٌ [for مُخَافٌ أَهْلُهُ, A road of which the people, or passengers, are caused to fear, by robbers]. (Msb.) [See also what next follows.]) طَرِيقُ مَخُوفٌ A road in which people fear: (S, * Msb, K:) or a road that is feared; (JK, TA;) as also ↓ مَخِيفٌ, and ↓ خَائِفٌ; which last is tropical, of the measure فَاعِلٌ in the sense of the measure مَفْعُولٌ; (TA;) or, thus applied, this last [is a possessive epithet, and thus] meanshaving fear: (JK: [see also مُخَافٌ:]) you should not say ↓ طَرِيقٌ مُخِيفٌ, because the road does not cause fear, but only he who robs and slays therein. (S, * K, * TA.) One says also ثَغْرٌ

↓ مَخِيفٌ and ↓ مُتَخَوَّفٌ An enemies' frontier [that is feared, or] from which one fears, or from the direction of which fear comes.
