برطل

Q. 1 بَرْطَلَ, (inf. n. بَرْطَلَةٌ, TK,) He placed a long stone (بِرْطِيلٌ) in the fore part (إِزَآء, q. v.,) of his watering-trough. (Lth, K.) A2: [He gave him a بِرْطِيل, or bribe;] he bribed him. (K.) And بُرْطِلَ He was bribed. (TA.) Q. 2 تَبَرْطَلَ He received a [بِرْطِيل, or] bribe. (K.) بِرْطِيلٌ A long stone: pl. بَرَاطِيلٌ: (S:) or a broad stone: (TA in art. برم:) or a stone (Seer, A, K) of an oblong form (A, TA) a cubit in length, (Seer, TA,) or an iron, long, broad, and hard by nature, (K,) not such as is made long, or sharpened or made sharp-pointed, by men, (TA,) with which the millstone is pecked (تُنْقَرُ [i. e., wrought into shape, and roughened in its surface, by pecking]): so says Lth: (TA:) to this is sometimes likened the muzzle, or fore part of the nose and mouth, of a she-camel of high breed: (Lth, TA:) [and hence,] it signifies also (assumed tropical:) the muzzle, or fore part of the nose and mouth, of an old bear: (TA:) some say that the dual signifies two elongated stones, of the hardest kind, slender, and sharp-pointed, with which the millstone is pecked (تُنْقَرُ [explained above]). (TA.) Also, (K,) accord. to Sh, (TA,) A pickaxe, or stonecutter's pick; syn. مِعْوَلٌ: (Sh, Msb, K:) pl. as above: accord. to IAar, what is called in Persian اسكنه [app. a mistranscription, or a dial. var., of إِسْكَنك]. (TA.) A2: A bribe; syn. رِشْوَةٌ: (Msb, K:) app. mentioned in the K as an Arabic word; and if so, the pronunciation with fet-h to the ب is a vulgarism, since there is no such measure as فَعْلِيلٌ: Abu-l-'Alà El-Ma'arree says that it is not known in this sense in the [classical] language of the Arabs; and it seems as though it were taken from the same word signifying “an oblong stone;” as though the bribe were likened to a stone that is thrown: (TA:) or it seems as though it were taken from the same word signifying a مِعْوَل; because therewith a thing is got out; (Msb;) and so El-Munáwee asserts it to be: (TA:) pl. as above. (Msb, K.) Hence the phrase, أَلْقَمَهُ البِرْطِيلَ [He tipt him the bribe; conveyed it to him in like manner as one puts a morsel into another's mouth; somewhat like our phrase he greased his fist]. (TA.) And the saying, البَرَاطِيلُ تَنْصُرُ الأَبَاطِيلِ [Bribes render victorious false allegations]: (Msb, TA:) a prov. (Msb.) مُبَرْطِلُ الرَّأْسِ A man having a long head. (A in art. كوز.)

ر

Entries on ر in 7 Arabic dictionaries by the authors Habib Anthony Salmone, An Advanced Learner's Arabic-English Dictionary, Ibn Manẓūr, Lisān al-ʿArab, Ibn Manẓūr, Lisān al-ʿArab, and 4 more
ر alphabetical letter ر

The tenth letter of the alphabet: called رَآءٌ and رَا: pl. [of the former] رَاآتٌ and [of the latter]

أَرْوَآءٌ. (TA in باب الالف الليّنه.) It is one of the letters termed مَجْهُورَة [or vocal, i. e. pronounced

with the voice, not with the breath only]; and of the letters termed ذُلْق, which are, and ل and ن, [also termed ذَوْلَقِيَّة, or pronounced with the extremity of the tongue, and ب and ف and م which are also termed شَفَهِيَّة, or pronounced with the lips:] these letters which are pronounced with the tip of the tongue and with the lips abound in the composition of Arabic words: (L:) and hence ر is termed, in a vulgar prov., حِمَارُ الشُعَرَآءِ [“ the ass of the poets ”]. (TA in باب الالف اللّينة.)

ر is substituted for ل, in نَثْرَةٌ for نَثْلَةٌ, and in رَعَلَّ for لَعَلَّ, and in وَجِرٌ and أَوْجَرُ for وَجِلٌ and أَوْجَلُ; and this substitution is a peculiarity of the dial. of Keys; wherefore some assert that the ر in these cases is an original radical letter. (MF.)

A2: [As a numeral, it denotes Two hundred..]

رَ is an imperative of رَأَى [q. v.]. (Az, T and S and M in art. رأى.)

رزدق



رَزْدَقٌ A row of palm-trees, and of men: (IF, S, Msb, K:) or [simply] a row: (JK, Mgh:) and an extended cord or string or thread: (JK:) an arabicized word, from رَسْتَهْ, (S, K,) which is Persian: (S:) Lth says, What the people [now] call رَسْتَق we call رَزْدَق, meaning a row: it is an adventitious word. (TA.) b2: [Hence,] one says, اِجْعَلِ الأَمْرَ رَزْدَقًا وَاحِدًا, meaning Make thou the affair, or case, [uniform, or] one uniform thing. (Fr, TA in art. بأح.) رُزْدَاقٌ (S, Msb, K, &c.) and رُزْتَاقٌ (Lh, L, TA) and رُسْدَاقٌ (ISk, K) and رُسْتَاقٌ, (Lh, S, Msb, K, &c.,) but this last disallowed by ISk, (TA,) [though allowed by many others, and of frequent occurrence,] and said by some to be post-classical, and to be correctly رُزْدَاقٌ, (Msb,) arabicized, (S, Msb, K,) of Pers\. origin, (S,) from رُوسْتَا, (K,) [erroneously] said by IF to be from رَزْدَقٌ signifying as explained above; (Msb;) A rural district; or district consisting of cultivated land with towns or villages; syn. سَوَادٌ, (S,) or سَوَادٌ and قُرًي: (K:) Yákoot explains رُسْتَاق as applied, in his time, in the country of the Persians, to any place [or district] in which are sown fields, and towns or villages; not to cities, like El-Basrah and Baghdád; so that it is, with the Persians, like سَوَادٌ with the people of Baghdád, and is a more special term than كُورَةٌ [in Arabic] and إِسْتَان [in Persian]: (TA:) or it is used as meaning an outlying district, or a border-district, of a country: (Msb:) [but the correctness of this last explanation is questionable:] the pl. is رَزَادِيقُ (Msb) [and رَزَاتِيقُ and رَسَادِيقُ] and رَسَاتِيقُ (S, Msb) and رُزْدَاقَاتٌ (Har p. 249) [&c.].
