ربض

1 رَبَضَ, (S, A, Msb, K,) aor. ـِ (S, Msb, K,) inf. n. رُبُوضٌ (S, A, Mgh, Msb, K) and رَبْضٌ (Msb, K) and رَبْضَةٌ, (K,) [the last an inf. n. of un.,] said of the sheep and goat, (S, A, Mgh, K,) and of the gazelle, (S, A,) and of the ox-kind, and the horse, (S,) or beast, (Msb,) and of the dog, (S, A,) [signifying He lay down, or laid himself down, upon his breast,] is like بَرَكَ said of a camel, (S, Msb, K,) and جَثَمَ said of a bird, (S, TA,) or جَلَسَ said of a man. (Mgh.) Said of a man, it means [(assumed tropical:) He lay down: and he sat: or] he sat upon his knees: and it may also mean he sat upon his thighs and his buttocks. (Har p. 172.) [And hence, (assumed tropical:) He remained fixed, or stationary, like an animal lying upon its breast; as is shown by what here follows: whence a signification of رَبَّضَ, q. v.] The saying of Mohammad to Ed-Dahhák, when he sent him to his people, إِذَا

أَتَيْتَهُمْ فَارْبِضْ فِى دَارِهِمْ ظَبْيًا, means When thou comest to them, remain in their abode in security, or without fear, like the gazelle in his covert: (IAar, ISd, K:) or trust them not, but be vigilant, like a wild animal, ready to spring up, for thou wilt be in the midst of the unbelievers; (Az, ISd, K; *) so, if anything induce in thee suspicion, thou mayest flee from them like the gazelle: (Az, ISd, TA:) accord. to each interpretation, ظبيا is in the accus. case as a denotative of state; the subst. being put in the place of the act. part. n., as though for مَتَظَبِّيًا: the former of the two explanations is said to be the more agreeable with the circumstances of the case. (TA.) Yousay also, رَبَضَ الأَسَدُ عَلَى فَرِيسَتِهِ, and القِرْنُ عَلَى

قِرْنِهِ, The lion laid himself down upon his breast (بَرَكَ) on his prey, and the adversary on his adversary. (K.) b2: He (a beast) lodged, and abode, in a place. (TA.) b3: (assumed tropical:) He (a man) became heavy, and slept, stretched upon the ground. (TA.) b4: رَبَضَ عَنِ الغَنَمِ, (S, A, K,) inf. n. رُبُوضٌ, (S,) (tropical:) He (a ram) abstained from tupping, or covering the ewes, and avoided it, (S, A, * K, *) or them, (TA,) being fatigued: (S:) or was unable to cover them: (K:) one does not say, of a ram, جَفَرَ. (S.) You say also of a ewe when she is pregnant, قَدْ رُبِضَ عَنْهَا. (Ibn- 'Abbád, A.) and you say of a man, رَبَضَ عَنْ مَعَالِى الأُمُورِ (assumed tropical:) He abstained, or held back, from seeking the means of acquiring eminence, or nobility. (TA.) b5: رَبَضَ اللَّيْلُ (A, K) (tropical:) The night cast its darkness [lit. itself (expl. by أَلْقَى بنَفْسِهِ) upon the earth]. (K.) A2: رَبَضَهُ, aor. ـِ and رَبُضَ, (IAar, O, K,) but the latter aor. was afterwards rejected by IAar, (TA,) He betook himself, or repaired, to him for lodging, covert, or refuge. (IAar, O, K.) A3: رَبَضَتْهُ, aor. ـِ and IAar is related to have said رَبُضَ also, but afterwards to have retracted it, (tropical:) She (a wife, or sister, or other woman,) undertook, or managed, his affairs, and gave him lodging, or refuge: (TA:) she was to him [as though she were] a رَبَض, or place of abode: like أَبَوْتُهُ “ I was to him a father,” and أَمَمْتُهُ “ I was to him a mother. ” (A, TA.) [The aor. occurs in the K, in the phrase تَرْبِضُ زَوْجَهَا: thus in the TA: in the CK, تُرَبِّضُ: in the L, تَرْبُضُ; and thus also the aor. is written in a copy of the A.]2 رَبَّضَ see 4. b2: رَبَّضْتُهُ بِالمَكَانِ, inf. n. تَرْبِيضٌ, (assumed tropical:) I fixed him, or made him to remain fixed, in the place. (TA.) b3: ربّض السِّقَآءَ بِالمَآءِ, (TA,) inf. n. as above, (K, TA,) [He made the skin to cleave to the ground with water; i. e.] he put into the skin as much water as covered and concealed its bottom: (K, * TA:) mentioned by Sgh, from Ibn- 'Abbád. (TA.) 4 اربض He made a sheep, or goat, [&c., (see 1,)] to lie down upon his breast; (S, K;) as also ↓ ربّض, inf. n. تَرْبِيضٌ. (TA.) b2: أَرْبَضَهُمْ (tropical:) It (a vessel, S, A, K, and beverage, or wine, A, TA) satisfied their thirst so that they became heavy, and slept, stretched upon the ground: (S, * A, * K:) (tropical:) it (milk) satiated them. (TA.) b3: اربضت الشَّمْسُ (tropical:) The sun became vehemently hot, (S, A, K,) so as to make the gazelle and the sheep or goat, (S,) or the wild animals, (A,) to lie down upon their breasts: (S, A:) or became still, like a beast lying upon its breast, having attained its utmost height and not begun to descend. (O.) b4: اربض أَهْلَهُ, (O, K,) and أَصْحَابَهُ, (O,) (assumed tropical:) He undertook, or managed, the expenses of his family, (O, K,) and of his companions; (O;) syn. قَامَ بنَفَقَتِهِمْ: (O, K:) so says Ibn- 'Abbád. (TA.) رَبْضٌ: see رَبَضٌ.

رُبْضٌ: see رَبَضٌ, in five places. b2: Also, accord. to Ks, (S,) and As, (Sgh, TA,) The middle of a thing: (S, Sgh, K:) but this is disapproved by Sh. (T, TA.) b3: And A collection of trees of the kinds called طَلْح and سَمُر: (K:) or a collection of abundant and dense trees. (TA.) رِبْضٌ: see رَبِيضٌ: in three places.

رَبَضٌ The lodging-place of sheep or goats; (S, A, * K;) because they lie therein upon their breasts; and in like manner of wild animals: (TA:) the nightly lodging-place of sheep or goats: (Msb:) and ↓ مَرْبِضٌ signifies the same: (S, * A, Mgh, Msb:) pl. of the former أَرْبَاضٌ: (S, A, * TA:) and of the latter مَرَابِضُ: (S, K: *) the مرابض of sheep or goats are like the مَعَاطِن of camels. (S.) b2: (tropical:) A place of abode: a place of abode of a people by itself: (A, TA:) pl. as above. (A.) b3: (tropical:) Anything to which a man betakes himself, or repairs, for lodging, covert, or refuge, (ISk, S, A, * Msb, K,) and at which, or with which, he finds rest, or ease; (K;) such as a house or tent, (S, A, K,) and the like, (S, K,) and a wife, (ISk, S, A, Msb,) or relations, (ISk, A, Msb,) or a family, and a relation, and property, (K,) and sheep or goats, and means of subsistence, and food; (TA;) and hence, (S,) milk which sustains a man, and suffices him for food: (S, K: *) pl. as above: (K:) رَبَضٌ and ↓ رَبْضٌ and ↓ رُبْضٌ (IAar, Sgh, K) and ↓ رُبُضٌ (K) are applied to a wife لِأَنَّهَا تَرْبِضُ زَوْجَهَا, (so in copies of the K and in the TA, but in the CK تُرَبِّضُ,) i. e. because she undertakes, or manages, the affairs of her husband, and gives him lodging, or refuge; (TA;) or because she fixes him, (تُرَبِّضُهُ, i. e. تُثَبِّتُهُ,) so that he does not quit his place: (L, TA:) or to the mother; or the sister; who undertakes, or manages, the affairs of (تُعَزِّبُ [so in copies of the K and in the TA, in the latter of which it is thus explained, but in the CK تُقَرِّبُ,]) her relation. (K.) A poet says, جَآءَ الشِّتَآءُ وَلَمَّا أَتَّخِذْ رَبَضًا يَا وَيْحَ كَفَّىَّ مِنْ حَفْرِ القَرَامِيصِ (S, Mgh) i. e. [The winter has come, and I have not yet made for myself] a lodging: [O, wo to my two-hands, in consequence of digging] hollows in which to sit for protection from the cold. (Mgh.) And from رَبَضٌ applied to “ milk which sustains a man, and suffices him for food,” originated the prov., (K, TA,) مِنْكَ رَبَضُكَ وَإِنْ كَانَ سَمَارًا, meaning (tropical:) Thy family and thy servants (S, K) and those to whom thou betakest thyself for lodging or refuge, (S,) are appertenances of thine, though they be persons falling short [of their duty]: (S, K:) or thy manager of affairs, &c., though he be not a good manager of thine affairs: (L, TA:) and رَبَضٌ also signifies any woman who undertakes, or manages, the affairs of a house: but in the T we find ↓ رُبْضُكَ, thus written, as by Th, on the authority of IAar, but not restricted by a measure, and explained as meaning the person who undertakes, or manages, the affairs of thy house; and so in the book of proverbs by As: and in the margin of a copy of the S, we find the above-cited prov. thus written, وَإِنْ كَانَ سَمَارًا ↓ مِنْكَ رُبُضُكَ, as from the “ Book on Goats ” by Ibn-Zeyd, and expl. as meaning the sons of thy father are appertenances of thine, though they be evil persons, in whom is no good. (TA.) b4: (tropical:) The wall of a city: (K, TA:) the environs of a city, (S, A, Mgh,) and of a قَصْر [or palace &c.], (A,) consisting of houses or dwellings, (A, Mgh,) or of open country: (TA:) and ↓ رُبْضٌ signifies the same: (TA:) or this latter signifies the foundation, or basis, of a building; and of a city also: (K:) IKh writes it ↓ رُبُضٌ: and some say that ↓ رُبْضٌ and رَبَضٌ signify the same: (TA:) the former of these two signifies also the part, of a thing, that touches the ground: (K, TA:) so says Sh: accord. to ISh, الأَرْضِ ↓ رُبْضُ signifies what touches the ground, of a thing: (TA:) and رَبَضٌ also signifies a lateral, or an outward or adjacent, part: (K:) or lateral, or outward or adjacent, parts of a thing: (Ks, S:) also the space immediately pertaining to a mosque: and [the pl.]

أَرْبَاضٌ is explained by El-Karkhee as applied to the quarters, or districts, of a town, or city. (Mgh.) b5: رَبَضٌ also signifies (tropical:) The rope of the [camel's saddle called] رَحْل, (A, K,) with which the رحل is bound; (A, TA;) one of the أَرْبَاض, or ropes of the رَحْل: (S, A:) or the part that is next the ground thereof; (K;) i. e., of the rope of the رحل; (TA;) not what is above the رحل: (K:) accord. to Lth, the part [of the belly] of the camel that is next the ground when he lies down; (L, TA; *) and the belly of the she-camel; and in like manner IAar explains the pl. أَرْبَاضٌ as meaning the bellies of camels; but Az says that this is a mistake. (TA.) And (assumed tropical:) A girth of a رَحْل, like the نِطَاق [q. v.], which is put upon the flanks of the she-camel, so as to have the haunches behind it, (K, TA,) on either side, having at its two ends two rings, to which are tied the [woven, or plaited, thongs called] أَنْسَاع: the رحل is bound with it. (TA.) b6: Also (tropical:) The مَصَارِين [or guts, or intestines,] of the belly, that have a winding, or coiled, form; (Lth, A, TA;) such as are in the belly of a sheep or goat: (Lth, TA:) or the folding intestines of beasts: (AHat, TA:) or the guts, bowels, or intestines, into which the food passes from the stomach; syn. أَمْعَآءٌ: (S, K:) or the contents of the belly, (K, TA,) consisting of the مَصَارِين &c., (TA,) except the heart (K, TA) and the lungs. (TA.) (assumed tropical:) The part that comprises the حَوَايَا [or winding, circling, or coiled, guts or intestines]; (IAar, TA;) as also ↓ رَبِيضٌ and ↓ مَرْبِضٌ and ↓ مَرْبَضٌ: (IAar, K, TA:) some describe the رَبَض as below the navel; and the ↓ مَرْبَض, as beneath the navel and above the pubes. (TA.) رُبُضٌ [(tropical:) Holding back, through indolence].

رُبُضٌ عَنِ الحَاجَاتِ, (A, K,) in [some of] the copies of the K, erroneously, عَلَى الحاجات, (TA,) and الأَسْفَارِ, (A, TA,) means (tropical:) A man who does not rise to perform needful affairs, (A, K,) and journeys: (A, TA:) or who does not go forth to undertake them. (Lh, TA.) A2: See also رَبَضٌ, in three places.

رُبْضَةٌ, applied to a man, i q. ↓ مُتَرَبِّضٌ; (K;) i. e. (tropical:) Remaining stationary, and impotent; (TA;) as also ↓ رُبَضَةٌ. (K.) A2: See also رِبْضَةٌ. b2: Also (assumed tropical:) A portion, (K,) or large portion, (IDrd,) of ثَرِيد [i. e. crumbled bread moistened with broth]. (IDrd, K.) A3: See also رُبْصَةٌ, with the unpointed ص.

رِبْضَةٌ A mode, or manner, of lying upon the breast: (K, and Har p. 382: [see 1, first signification:]) this is the primary meaning. (Har.) b2: And A place thereof. (Har ibid. [See again رَبَضٌ, first signification.]) b3: See also رَبِيضٌ, in three places. b4: Also (assumed tropical:) A place of slaughter (مَقْتَل) of any party, or company of men, slain in one plot of ground: (Lth, Sgh, K:) erroneously written by Sgh in the TS رَبَضَة; but in the O correctly. (TA.) [And accord. to the TA, it seems to be also applied to (assumed tropical:) The party so slain.]

A2: Also The body [of an animal] when lying upon the breast; particularly, of a hare, (A, K,) and of a lamb, (A, TA,) and of a she-goat; and so ↓ رُبْضَةٌ. (TA.) Hence the saying, أَتَانَا بِثَرِيدٍ كَأَنَّهُ رِبْضَةُ أَرْنَبٍ [He brought us crumbled bread moistened with broth resembling in size and shape the body of a hare lying upon its breast]. (A, K. *) دَابَّةٌ ضَخْمَةُ الرَّبَضَةِ A beast of which the traces of the place where it has been tied [and app. where it has lain] are large, or wide. (TA.) رُبَضَةٌ: see رُبْضَةٌ.

رَبُوضٌ: see رَابِضٌ. b2: Applied to a [skin such as is termed] قِرْبَة, (tropical:) Great, or large; hardly, or not at all, to be lifted; so that it remains fixed; or so that it causes him who desires to lift it to remain fixed. (A, TA.) b3: Then, (A,) applied to a tree (شَجَرَة), meaning (tropical:) Great, or large, (A 'Obeyd, S, A, * K,) and thick, (S,) and, accord. to the K, wide, but [SM says,] I have not seen that any of the leading authorities applies it in this last sense to a tree: (TA:) pl. رُبَضٌ. (K.) b4: Applied to a chain (سِلْسِلَة), (tropical:) Large, or big, (S, K, TA,) and heavy, cleaving to him upon whom it is put: it is of a measure having an intensive signification, and qualifying alike a masc. and a fem. n.

(TA.) رَبِيضٌ Sheep, or goats, with their pastors, collected together in their lodging-places; (S, A, K;) as though it were a quasi-pl. n.; as also ↓ رِبْضَةٌ and ↓ رِبْضٌ: (TA:) and hence, (L, TA,) ↓ the former of these two, (assumed tropical:) a company of men: (L, K:) and ↓ the latter of them, [accord. to the K,] a herd of bulls, or cows, in their lodgingplace; from the author of the book entitled كِتَابُ المُزْدَوِجِ مِنَ اللُّغَاتِ, only: (K, * TA:) but what this author says is, that ↓ رِبْضٌ signifies the lodging-places of bulls or cows [app. with the beasts in them]: and that the primary application of this word (رِبْضٌ) and ↓ رِبْضَةٌ is to sheep or goats; and that by a subsequent usage they have been applied to bulls or cows and to men. (TA.) See also رَابِضٌ. b2: One says also, صَبَّ اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ حُمَّى رَبِيضًا [app. meaning (assumed tropical:) May God send (lit. pour) upon him a fever that shall cleave to him like as an animal lying upon its breast cleaves to the ground]. (TA.) A2: See also رَبَضٌ, last sentence.

رَبَّاضٌ: see the next paragraph, in two places.

رَابِضٌ Lying upon his breast; applied to a sheep or goat [&c.]; and so ↓ رَبُوضٌ applied to a hare; so too ↓ رَبَّاضٌ [but app. in an intensive or a frequentative sense] applied to a lion, as is also رَابِضٌ, and to a man lying on his adversary: (TA:) and [hence] ↓ الرَّبَّاضُ is an appellation of the lion: (K:) the pl. [of رَابِضٌ] is رُبَّضٌ and رُبُوضٌ: and the phrase الغَنَمِ ↓ كَرَبِيضَةِ, occurring in a trad., means كَالغَنَمِ الرُّبَّضِ [Like the sheep, or goats, that are lying upon their breasts]. (TA.) It is said in a prov., كَلْبٌ جَوَّالٌ خَيْرٌ مِنْ

أَسَدٍ رَابِضٍ or رَبَضَ [A dog that roams about is better than a lion lying upon his breast or that has laid himself down upon his breast]. (TA.) b2: [Hence, because of his cleaving to the ground,] (tropical:) A sick man. (TA.) b3: [Hence also the phrase,] أَرْنَبَتُهُ رَابِضَةٌ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ (tropical:) The end of his nose is flat, and spreading upon his face. (A.) b4: الرَّابِضَانِ is an appellation applied to The Turks and the Abyssinians. (K, TA.) These are meant in the trad. of Mo'áwiyeh, لَا تَبْعَثُوا الرَّابِضَيْنِ, i. e. Rouse not ye against you the two [peoples] that are remaining quiet as long as they do not pursue you: it is like another trad., in which it is said, اُتْرُكُوا التُّرْكَ مَا تَرَكُوكُمْ وَدَعُوا الحَبَشَةَ مَا وَدَعُوكُمْ [Leave ye alone the Turks as long as they leave you alone, and let ye alone the Abyssinians as long as they let you alone]. (TA.) رَابِضَةٌ [as a subst. from رَابِضٌ, made so by the affix ة, An animal lying upon its breast]. One says of a man who kills when he shoots, and more commonly of him who kills when he smites with the [evil] eye, فُلَانٌ مَا تَقُومُ رَابِضَتُهُ [Such a one is so effective in his aim that his animal lying upon its breast does not rise]: (ISk, S, TA:) and in like manner, مَا تَقُومُ لَهُ رَابِضَةٌ: it is a prov. (TA.) b2: It is said in a trad., فَانْبَعَثَ لَهُ وَاحِدٌ مِنَ الرَّابِضَةِ [And there rose and went to him one of the رَابضة]: (Lth, A, TA:) الرَّابِضَةُ means (tropical:) certain angels who were sent down [from Paradise] with Adam, (Lth, A, K, TA,) who direct those that err from the right way: (Lth, A, TA:) perhaps (Lth, TA) so called from their remaining upon the earth: (Lth, * A, TA: *) and [so in the K, but correctly “ or,”] the remainder of the Bearers of Evidence (حَمَلَةِ الحُجَّةِ [meaning those angels whereof every individual of mankind has two appointed to attend him constantly for the purpose of their bearing evidence of his good and evil deeds, which two are termed in the Kur l. 16 المُتَلَقِّيَانِ,]) whereof the earth will never be destitute. (S, K.) b3: And in another trad., respecting the signs of the coming of the resurrection, the Prophet is related to have said that one of those signs will be, that the ↓ رُوَيْبِضَة will speak respecting the affairs of the community: (T, TA:) الرُّوَيْبِضَةُ is the dim. of الرَّابِضَةُ (T, K, TA) signifying The pastor of رَبِيض [q. v.]; (T, TA;) and means (assumed tropical:) the mean, contemptible man, (S, K,) who speaks respecting the affairs of the community: thus expl. by the Prophet himself: (K: [in the CK, النّاقِهُ is erroneously put for التَّافِهُ:]) or he explained it as meaning (assumed tropical:) the vitious, or wicked, who speaks respecting the affairs of the community: A 'Obeyd compares this trad. with another, in which it is said that one of the signs above mentioned will be, that the pastors of sheep or goats will be the heads of the people: and Az says that الرويبضة means the pastor of sheep or goats: some say that it means (assumed tropical:) he who abstains, or holds back, from seeking the means of acquiring eminence, or nobility; and الرَّابِضَةُ signifies [the same, or] impotent to attain eminence: in this latter, the ة is added to give intensiveness to the signification: and Az thinks it most probable that each of these is applied to the mean man because of his remaining in his house, or tent, and seldom rising and going forth to occupy himself in great affairs. (TA.) رُوَيْبِضَةٌ: see the next preceding paragraph.

تِرْبَاضٌ i. q. عُصْفُرٌ [Safflower, or bastard saffron]. (IAar, K.) مَرْبَضٌ: see رَبَضٌ, last sentence, in two places.

مَرْبِضٌ: see رَبَضٌ, first sentence: b2: and the same in the last sentence.

مُتَرَبِّضْ: see رُبْضَةٌ.

(L.) 4 اراض (Yaakoob, S, A) and أَرْوَضَ (Yaakoob, S) It (a place) became abundant in its رِيَاض [pl. of رَوْضَةٌ, q. v.]; (Yaakoob, S, A;) as also ↓ استراض. (A.)

(TA.) It is said in a prov., أَحْسَنُ مِنْ بَيْضَةٍ فِى رَوْضَةٍ [More beautiful than an egg in a meadow, or garden]. (A, TA.)

(TA.) You say, كَذَا رَأْسًا مِنَ الدَّوَابِّ ↓ فُلَانٌ يَرْتَبِطُ [Such a one ties so many head of beasts: or the verb may here have a different signification, explained below]. (S, TA.) And it is said in a prov., اِسْتَكْرَمْتَ فَارْبِطْ, or, accord. to one relation, أَكْرَمْتَ, i. e. Thou hast found a generous horse, therefore do thou preserve him; or, as some relate it, ↓ فَارْتَبِطْ: relating to the duty of preservation. (TA.) See also 3. b2: رَبَطَ عَلَيْهِ (assumed tropical:) He held back, or drew back, from him, or it; as though he confined, and bound, himself.

(Bd.) and in like manner in [viii. 11 and] xxviii. 9. (TA.) 3 المُرَابَطَةُ signifies, (K, TA,) in its primary acceptation, (TA,) Two [hostile] parties' tying of their horses, each at their frontier, and each in preparation for the other: (K, TA:) and رِبَاطُ الخَيْلِ and مُرَابَطَتُهَا signify the same [as above]. (S, TA.) [You say, رَابَطَ الفَرِيقَانِ The two parties tied their horses at their respective frontiers, each in preparation for the other.] And one says, with reference to horses, ↓ رَبَطَ, inf. n. رَبْطٌ and رِبَاطٌ, as well as رابط, inf. n. مُرَابَطَةٌ and رِبَاطٌ. (Bd in viii. 62.) Hence, (Sgh, L, K,) رابط, (Mgh, Msb,) inf. n. رِبَاطٌ (S, Mgh, Sgh, L, K) and مُرَابَطَةٌ, (S, Mgh, Msb, K,) He, or it, (an army, Mgh) kept post, or remained, on, or at, the frontier (S, Mgh, Sgh, L, K) of the enemy, (S, Msb, K,) or over against the enemy. (Mgh.) And hence, i. e. from this latter application, (AAF, TA,) رابط الأَمْرَ, (TK,) inf. n. رِبَاطٌ (AAF, K) and مُرَابَطَةٌ, (TK,) (assumed tropical:) He kept, or applied himself, constantly, perseveringly, or assiduously, to the thing, or affair. (AAF, K, TK.) It is said in the Kur [ch. iii., last verse], اصْبِرُوا وَصَابِرُوا وَرَابِطُوا Be ye patient in endurance of what your religion requires, and vie ye in patience with your enemy, and persevere ye in fighting against your enemy, (Mgh, TA,) and in tying the horses [at the frontier]: (TA:) or the last of these verbs means keep ye post, or remain ye, on, or at, the frontier [of the enemy]: (Az, K:) or (assumed tropical:) be ye mindful of the times of prayer: or (assumed tropical:) apply yourselves constantly, perseveringly, or assiduously, to prayer: (TA:) or (assumed tropical:) wait ye for prayer after prayer; the doing this being termed by the Prophet رِبَاطٌ; (Az, K, TA;) which word, thus used, is an inf. n. of رَابَطْتُ; or, as some say, a simple subst., meaning, in this case, a thing whereby one is tied from acts of disobedience, and restrained from forbidden deeds. (TA.) [See also صَابَرَ.]6 ترابط المَآءُ فِى مَكَانِ كَذَا وَكَذَا (tropical:) The water remained in, or did not quit, or go forth from, such and such a place.

A2: [He, or it, became tied, bound, or made fast.]

b2: ارتبط فِى الحَبْلِ He became caught, or entangled, in the rope. (Lh.) b3: اِرْتِبَاطٌ is also explained by AO and Ez-Zejjájee as syn. with اعْتلَاقٌ. (TA.) [Thus, ارتبطهُ signifies He, or it, attached himself, or itself, or clung, or clave, to him, or it: (see a citation from Lebeed, voce بَعْضٌ:) and app. also (assumed tropical:) he loved him.]

رِبَاطٌ A thing with which one ties, binds, or makes fast, (S, Msb, K,) a skin, (S, Msb,) and a beast, (S,) &c.; (S, Msb;) a rope with which a beast is tied: (Mgh:) pl. رُبُطٌ (S, Msb, K) and رُبْطٌ; (S, TA;) the latter a contraction of the former: (TA:) and ↓ مِرْبَطٌ and ↓ مِرْبَطَةٌ also signify a thing with which a beast is tied. (K.) It is said in a prov., إِنْ ذَهَبَ عَيْرٌ فَعَيْرٌ فِى الرِّبَاطِ [If an ass is gone away, an ass is tied to the cord]: relating to contentment with what is present and relinquishment of what is absent. (Mgh.) [See also 3.] b2: [Hence,] used by the vulgar in the sense of أُخْذَةٌ, meaning (assumed tropical:) A kind of fascination by which enchantresses withhold their husbands from other women.

Hence, (TA in art. قرض,) قَرَضَ ربَاطَهُ (assumed tropical:) He died: (M and K in that art.:) or he was at the point of death. (K in that art.) And جَآءَ فُلَانٌ وَقَدْ قَرَضَ رِبَاطَهُ (tropical:) Such a one came having turned away, or back, harassed, distressed, or fatigued, (S, TA, and Az and Az in art. قرض,) and at the point of death: (Az, Az:) or harassed, or distressed, by thirst, or by fatigue: (A in art. قرض:) or in a state of intense thirst and hunger. (M in that art.) b5: (assumed tropical:) The spirit: as in the saying of El-'Ajjáj, describing a wild bull, فَبَاتَ وَهْوَ ثَابِتُ الرِّبَاطِ [And he passed the night firm in spirit]. (TA.)

A3: A single building of those which are called رِبَاطَاتٌ: (S, K:) [a public building for the accommodation of travellers and their beasts; (see بَرِيدٌ;) an application well known, and mentioned in the TK:] a religious house, or house inhabited by devotees; a dwelling for Soofees; (El-Makreezee's “ Khitat ”

(Msb.) رَبِيطٌ Tied, bound, or made fast; as also ↓ مَرْبُوطٌ; (K, TA;) applied to a horse, (Mgh,) or similar beast (دَابَّة); as also ↓ مَرْبُوطَةٌ; (TA;) applied to the former, i. q. مَرْبُوطٌ; (Mgh;) or مَايُرْتَبَطُ [which may perhaps signify the same; but more probably, taken to be tied, or for keeping post, on the enemy's frontier]; (S;) and [in like manner]

(TA.) الخَيْلِ ↓ مِنْ رِبَاطِ, in the Kur [viii. 62], means Of horses that are tied; (Bd, Mgh;) رِبَاطٌ being of the measure فِعَالٌ in the sense of the measure مَفْعولٌ; or an inf. n. used as a subst., being an inf. n. of رَبَطَ in the sense of رَابَطَ; (Bd;) or it is an inf. n. of رَابَطَ; and therefore [when used as an epithet, like any inf. n. so used,] is applied to one as well as to a pl. number; (Ham p. 222;) or pl. of رَبِيطْ: (Bd, Mgh:) or it means of mares: (Fr, TA:) and رِبَاطٌ signifies horses; five thereof, and upwards: (S, K:) or horses, themselves, that are taken to be tied, or for keeping post, on the enemy's frontier. (L.) And you say, لِفُلَانٍ

مِنَ الخَيْلِ ↓ رِبَاطٌ Such a one has a stud constituting the source of his horses; like as you say تلَادٌ. (S.) ↓ رَابطَةٌ, also, applied to horses, signifies Tied in a town or country or the like: occuring in a trad., in which it is said that upon every horse shall be levied a deenár; but upon the رابطة, nothing: properly meaning, in this case, ذَاتُ الرَّبْطِ; being like رَاضِيَةٌ in the phrase عِيشَةٌ رَاضِيَةٌ. (Mgh.) b2: See also رَابِطٌ. b3: Also, and ↓ رَابِطٌ, (assumed tropical:) A monk: one who abstains from worldly pleasures: a sage who restrains himself from worldly things. (K, TA.)

(TA.) رَبَّاطٌ One who ties bow-strings. (TA.) رَابِطٌ [act. part. n. of 1]. b2: خَلَّفَ فُلَانٌ بِالثَّغْرِ جَيْشًا رَابِطَةً [Such a one left behind him on the frontier an army having their horses tied in preparation for the enemy; or keeping post].

مَرْبِطٌ (S, Mgh, K) and مَرْبَطٌ, (S K,) the former used by him who says أَرْبُطُ, and the latter by him who says أَرْبُطُ, (IB,) The place where a thing, (S,) or where a beast, (Mgh, K,) is tied, bound, or made fast: (S, Mgh, K:) a stable: pl. مَرَابِطُ. (Har p. 33.) You say, لَيْسَ لَهُ مَرْبَِطُ عَنْزٍ [He has not so much as, or even, a place where a she-goat is tied]. (S.) Each is a noun of place used in a definite manner; so that you may not say, هُوَ مِنِّى مَرْبَطَ الفَرَسِ, like مَنَاطَ الثُّرَيَّا. (TA: [in which, however, the word مناط has been inadvertently omitted.]) b2: [Also A place where soldiers tie their horses at the frontier in preparation for the enemy; or where they keep post on the frontier; as also ↓ مُرَابَطٌ.

(TA.) b3: And [hence also,] رَبَعَهُ اللّٰهُ (tropical:) God restored him from a state of poverty to wealth or competence or sufficiency; recovered him from his embarassment or difficulty, or from a state of perdition or destruction.

(TA.) The phrase اِرْبَعِى بِنَفْسِكِ, or عَلَى نَفْسِكِ, in the trad. of Subey'ah El-Aslameeyeh, accord. to two different relations, admits of two interpretations: one is, (assumed tropical:) Pause thou, and wait for the completion of the عِدَّة [q. v.] of decease; and this is accord. to the persuasion of those who say that her عدّة is the more remote of the two periods, which is the persuasion of 'Alee and I'Ab: the second is, from رَبَعَ الرّجُلُ signifying “ the man had, or obtained, abundance of herbage,” and the meaning is, (assumed tropical:) relieve thou thyself, and release thyself from the straitness of the عدّة, and the evil of thy condition; and this is accord. to the persuasion of those who hold that her عدّة is the nearer of the two periods; and hence 'Omar said, “If she bring forth when her husband is on his bier, meaning, not buried, it is allowable for her to marry. ” (TA.) It is also said, in another trad., لَا يَرْبَعُ عَلَى ظَلْعِكَ مَنْ لَا يُحْزِنُهُ أَمْرُكَ, i. e.

(assumed tropical:) Speak thou to a woman twice; and if she refuse, abstain thou: or, accord. to one relation, it is ↓ فَأَرْبِعْ: and accord. to another, فَارْبَعْهُ, i. e., then add; for she is very weak in understanding; if she understand not, then make thou the two speeches to be four: Aboo-Sa'eed says, فَإِنْ لَمْ تَفْهَمْ بَعْدَ الأَرْبَعَةِ فَالْمِرْبَعَة, i. e., [and if she understand not after the four, then] the stick [is to be used; or, then use thou the stick]: the prov. applies to the hearing and answering in an evil manner.

A2: رَبَاعٍ, (S, Msb, K,) like ثَمَانٍ (S, K) and يَمَانٍ [in the CK ثَمَانٌ and ثَمَانٍ] and شَنَاحٍ and [pls. like] جَوَارٍ, which are the only words of this form, (K,) and رَبَاعٌ, (Kr, K,) accus. of the former رَبَاعِيًا, (S, Msb, K,) and fem. رَبَاعِيَةٌ, (S, K,) Shedding its tooth called the رَبَاعِيَة, q. v.; applied to the sheep or goat in the fourth year, and to the bull and cow and the solid-hoofed animal in the fifth year, and to the camel in the seventh year: (S, Msb, K:) [see 4:] pl. [of pauc.] أَرْبَاعٌ (Az, K) and [of mult.] رُبُعٌ (Az, S, Msb, K) and رُبْعٌ, (Th, Az, K,) but the former is the more common, (Az,) and رُبَعٌ (IAar, K) and رِبْعَانٌ (S, Msb, K) and رِبَاعٌ and رَبَاعِيَاتٌ. (K.) You say, رَكِبْتُ بِرْذَوْنًا رَبَاعِيًا [I rode a hackney shedding his رَبَاعِيَة, or in his fifth year].

(TA.) رُبَاعُ [Four and four: four and four together: or four at a time and four at a time:] is a deviation from the original form, (S, K,) or أَرْبَعَةٌ أَرْبَعَةٌ; for which reason, [and, accord. to general opinion, because it is at the same time an epithet, (see ثُلَاثُ,)] it is imperfectly decl.: (K:) but the dim. is ↓ رُبَيِّعٌ, perfectly decl. (S voce ثُلَاثُ, q. v.) [See exs. voce ثُلَاثُ.] In the Kur iv. 3, El-Aamash read ↓ وَرُبَعَ instead of وَرُبَاعَ. (IJ, K.) رَبُوعٌ A she-camel that yields four أَقْدَاح [pl. of قَدَحٌ] of milk.

رَبِيعٌ: see رُبْعٌ, in two places.

A2: It has also a twofold application; to months and to seasons: and it has a twofold application to months; denoting Two months, (S, Msb, K,) [next] after صَفَرٌ; (S, K;) and they say, (Msb,) one should only say, in speaking of them, شَهْرُ رَبِيعٍ الأَوَّلُ and شَهْرُ رَبِيعٍ الآخِرٌ; (S, Msb, K;) [but in the margin of the copy of the S which I have here followed, I find it stated that in the handwriting of the author the former is شهر ربيعِ الاول (with a single kesreh, and with no syll. sign to الاول); and in another copy of the S I find شهرُ ربيع الاولِ and شَهرُ رَبيع الآخِر;] with the addition of شهر: but it is allowable to say also شَهْرُ رَبِيعِ الأَوَّلِ and شَهْرُ رَبِيعِ الآخِرِ: the word شهر is necessarily added in order to discriminate between the months thus called and the season called ربيع: Az says, the Arabs mention all the months without the word شهر except the two months of ربيع and the month of رَمَضَان: and they say also شَهْرَا رَبِيعٍ and أَشْهُرُ رَبِيعٍ and شُهُورُ رَبِيعٍ: (Msb:) these months were thus called because, when they received this name, they occurred in the season when the earth produced herbage. (Msb in art. جمد.) It has a twofold application also to seasons; الرَّبِيعُ الأَوَّلُ being The season in which the truffles and the blossoms come, (S, Msb, K,) and this is [also called] رَبِيعُ الكَلَأِ [the rabeea of the herbage, properly called the spring of Arabia]; (S;) and الرَّبِيعُ الثَّانِى The season in which fruits ripen; (S, Msb, K;) [also called رَبِيعُ الثِّمَارِ;] but some people call this الرَّبِيعُ الأَوَّلُ; (S, TA;) and the season which follows the winter, and in which the truffles and the blossoms come, they call الرَّبِيعُ الثَّانِى; but all of them agree that the خَرِيف [or autumn] is called الرَّبِيعُ: AHn says, the two divisions of the winter [by which he means the half-year commencing at the autumnal equinox] are called رَبِيعَانِ; the former being رَبِيعُ المَآءِ وَالأَمْطَار ِ [the rabeea of the water and the rains, in which the rain called الوَسْمِىّ, which is termed the first of the rains, commences]; and the second being رَبِيعُ النَّبَاتِ [or رَبِيعُ الكَلَأِ the rabeea of the herbage], because the herbage therein attains to its last stage: and he adds, that رَبِيعٌ is applied by the Arabs to the whole winter, [meaning, again, the half-year commencing at the autumnal equinox,] because of the moisture, or rain: (TA:) or the year consists of six seasons; (so in the K; but in the S, “and I heard Abu-l-Ghowth say, the Arabs make the year to be six seasons; ”) two months thereof are called الرَّبِيعُ الأَوَّلُ; and two months, صَيْفٌ; and two months, قَيْظٌ; (S, K;) and two months, ربيع الثانى, (so in a copy of the S,) or رَبِيعٌ الثّانى, (so in another copy of the S, [but in the margin of this latter, I find it stated that in the handwriting of the author it is ربيعُ الثانى, without tenween,]) or الرَّبِيعُ الثَّانِى; (K;) and two months, خَرِيفٌ; and two months, شِتَآءٌ. (S, K.) Az relates, with respect to the seasons and divisions of the year, on the authority of Aboo-Yahyà Ibn-Kibáseh, who possessed very great knowledge thereof, that the year consists of four seasons; namely, الرَّبِيعُ الأَوَّلُ, which the vulgar call الخَرِيفُ [The autumn]; then الشِّتَآءُ [the winter]; then الصَّيْفُ, which is الرَّبِيعُ الآخِرُ [or الثَّانِى, i. e. the spring]; then القَيْظُ [the summer, or hot season]: all this is what the Arabs in the desert say: the ربيع which is with the Persians the خريف, he says, commences on the third of أَيْلُول [September O. S.]; and the شِتَآء, on the third of كَانُون الأَوَّل [December O. S.]; and the صيف which is with the Persians the ربيع. on the fifth of آذَار [March O. S.]; and the قيظ which is with the Persians the صيف, on the fourth of حَزِيرَان [June O. S.]: and Aboo-Yahyà adds, the ربيع of the people of El-' Irák agrees with the ربيع of the Persians, which is after the شتاء [or winter], and which is the season of the flowers, or roses, and is the most temperate of the seasons: the people of El-' Irák, he says, have rain in all the winter, and have abundance of herbage in the خريف, which the Arabs call الربيع الاوّل: and Az says, the quarter of the خريف is called خريف because the fruits are gathered therein; and the Arabs call it ربيع because the first rain [which is called الوَسْمِىّ] falls therein. (TA.) The pl. of ربيع is أَرْبِعَةٌ [a pl. of pauc.] and أَرْبِعَآءُ [a pl. of mult.] (S, Msb, K) and رِبَاعٌ; (AHn, K;) or the first of these is pl. of ربيع الكلأ (Fr, Yaakoob, S, Msb, K) and of the ربيع of the months; (Fr, Msb;) but the second is pl. of ربيع in the sense of جَدْوَلٌ, to be explained below. (Fr, Yaakoob, S, Msb, K.) Hence the phrase in a supplication, mentioned in a trad., اَللّٰهُمَّ اجْعَلِ القُرْآنَ رَبِيعَ قَلْبِى [O God, make Thou the Kur-án to be the life, or ease, of my heart]; because the heart of man becomes lively, or at ease, in the season called رَبِيع. (TA.) Hence also, (TA,) أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ The هُدْهُد [or hoopoe]; (K;) because it appears with the [season called] ربيع. (TA.) [See also, respecting the seasons &c., the word زَمَنٌ.] b2: Also The rain in the [season called] رَبيع [as meaning the half-year commencing at the autumnal equinox, (which includes what is really the spring of Arabia, called “ the rabeea of the herbage,”) accord. to a statement of AHn cited above, and accord. to what is stated on the authority of Az voce نَوْءٌ]: (S, K:) or [only, accord. to some,] the rain which is after the وَسْمِىّ, and after which is [that called] the صَيْف, and then the حَمِيم: or, accord. to AHn, rain whenever it comes: Az says, I have heard the Arabs call thus the first rain falling upon the earth in the days of the خَرِيف [or autumn]: (TA:) the pl. [of pauc.] is أَرْبِعَةٌ and [of mult.] رِبَاعٌ. (AHn, TA.) [See also, respecting the rains, the word زَمَنٌ.] b3: Also Herbage; green herbage which the beasts eat; (TA;) [properly] the herbage that is produced by the first rain in the quarter which is called the رَبِيع, and which is commonly called the خَرِيف [or autumn], (Msb in art. زمن,) [continuing its growth during the winter-quarter, which is also called the رَبِيع, and which includes, as stated above, what is really the spring of Arabia, called “ the rabeea of the herbage,” wherein, as AHn says, the herbage attains to its last stage: it seems generally to mean the spring-herbage, which is earlier or later in different latitudes:] pl. أَرِْبعَةٌ. (TA.) [Hence,] a poet says, يَدَاكَ يَدٌ رَبِيعُ النَّاسِ فِيهَا وَفِى الأُخْرَى الشُّهُورُ مِنَ الحَرَامِ meaning (assumed tropical:) [Thy two hands are such that] one hand has in it the means of the plentiful subsistence of mankind, [and in the other are the sacred months, i. e.] in the other is [that which causes] security, and safeguard, and the preservation of what is to be regarded as sacred and inviolable. (TA.) [Compare Proverbs iii. 16.] b4: Also (assumed tropical:) A rivulet, or streamlet; (Msb, K;) i. q. جَدْوَلٌ: (S, Msb, K:) or i. q. نَهْرٌ: (Mgh:) or نَهْرٌ صَغِيرٌ: (Har p. 402:) (tropical:) a rivulet, or streamlet, that runs to palmtrees: and رَبِيعُ السَّاقِى, a subst prefixed to its epithet, occurring in a trad., (assumed tropical:) the river [or rivulet] that waters seed-produce: (TA:) pl. أَرْبِعَآءُ (Fr, Yaakoob, S, Msb, K) and رِبْعَانٌ. (TA.) A poet says, describing one drinking much, فُوهُ رَبِيعٌ وَكَفُّهُ قَدَحٌ (assumed tropical:) His mouth is a river [and his hand is a bowl]. (TA.) b5: Also A share, or portion, of water for [irrigating] land, (IDrd, K, TA,) whatever it be: or, as some say, a share, or portion, thereof for the quarter of a day or night; but this is not of valid authority. (TA.) You say, لِفُلَانٍ مِنْ هٰذَا المَآءِ رَبِيعٌ, (K, TA,) or, as in some copies of the K, فِى, instead of مِنْ, i. e. To such a one belongs a share, or portion, of this water [for irrigating land]. (TA.) b6: The dim. of رَبِيعٌ is ↓ رُبَيِّعٌ. (Msb.) رُبَيِّعٌ: see رُبَاعٌ: A2: and see also رَبِيعٌ, last sentence.

رَبَاعَةٌ: see رِبْعَةٌ, in two places.

رِبَاعَةٌ: see رِبْعَةٌ, in four places. b2: It also signifies A kind of حَمَالَة [meaning obligation, or responsibility, that must be discharged, or performed, taken upon himself by a person for others; and here, particularly, such as is taken upon himself by the head, or chief, of a people]. (S, K.) You say, هُوَ عَلَى رِبَاعَةِ قَوْمِهِ, [properly He is over the affairs of his people, as indicated above, voce رِبْعَةٌ, last sentence,] meaning He is the head, or chief, of his people. (TA.) Abu-l- Kásim El-Isbahánee says, رِبَاعَةٌ is metaphorically used to signify (tropical:) The being a head, or chief; or the office of head, or chief; in consideration of the taking of the مِرْبَاع [or fourth part of the spoil, which was the share of the chief]: and hence one says, لَايُقِيمُ رِبَاعَةَ القَوْمِ غَيْرُ فُلَانٍ (tropical:) [None will act vigorously in the office of head, or chief, of the people, except such a one]. (TA.) رَبِيعَةٌ A stone that is raised, or lifted, (S, K, TA,) for trial of strength: (K, TA:) applied only to a stone. (Az, TA.) A2: A helmet of iron. (Lth, S, K.)

نَابَانِ, and [two called] ضَاحِكَانِ, and six أَرْحَآء, on each side [three], and [two teeth called]

نَاجِذَانِ; and the like below: (As, TA:) and the solid-hoofed animal has, after the ثَنَايَا, four رَبَاعِيَات, and four قَوَارِح, and four أَنْيَاب, and eight أَضْرَاس. (Az, TA.)

A2: رَبِيعٌ رَابِعٌ A fruitful, or plentiful, ربيع [meaning the season so called]. (ISk, K.) b2: One does not say يَوْمٌ رَابِعٌ like as one says يَوْمٌ قَائِظٌ &c., because there is no corresponding verb, like قَاظَ, &c., for such a verb would have no meaning of heat nor of cold.

[because he meant thereby يَوْمُ الأَرْبِعَآءُ]; but Abu-l-Jarráh used to say, مَضَتِ الأَرْبِعَآءُ بِمَا فِيهِنَّ, making it fem. and pl., and employing it like a n. of number: (Lh:) Th is related to have mentioned أَرَابِيعُ as a pl. of الأَرْبِعَآءُ; but ISd says, I am not sure of this.

رفع

1 رَفَعَهُ, (S, Msb, K,) aor. ـَ (K, TA,) inf. n. رَفْعٌ, (S, Mgh, Msb,) He raised it: [this is generally the best rendering, as it serves to indicate several particular significations which will be found explained in what follows:] he elevated it; upraised it; uplifted it: he took it up: contr. of خَفَضَهُ: (Msb:) or of وَضَعَهُ: (S, Mgh, K:) as also ↓ رفّعهُ, (K,) inf. n. تَرْفِيعٌ; (TA;) and ↓ ارتفعهُ; (K;) for accord. to the “ Nawádir,” you say, ارتفعهُ بِيَدِهِ and رَفَعَهُ [he raised it, lifted it, heaved it, or took it up, with his hand]; but Az says that ارتفع is intrans., and that he has heard no authority for its being trans., in the sense of رَفَعَ, except that which he had read in the “ Nawádir el-Aaráb:” (TA:) رَفْعٌ is sometimes applied to corporeal things, meaning the raising, or elevating, a thing from the resting-place thereof: sometimes to a building, meaning the rearing it, uprearing it, or making it high or lofty: (Er-Rághib:) or in relation to corporeal things, it is used properly to denote motion, and removal: (Msb:) it signifies the putting away or removing or turning back a thing after the coming or arriving thereof; like as دَفْعٌ signifies the putting away or removing or turning back a thing before the coming or arriving [thereof]: (Kull p. 185:) but in relation to ideal things, it is [tropically used, as it is also in many other cases, and] accorded in meaning to what the case requires. (Msb.) [In its principal senses, proper and tropical, رَفْعٌ agrees with the Latin Tollere..] It is said in the Kur [ii. 60 and 87], رَفَعْنَا فَوْقَكُمُ الطُّورَ We raised above you from its resting-place the mountain: and in the same [xii. 2], اَللّٰهُ الَّذِى رَفَعَ السَّمٰوَاتِ بِغَيْرِ عَمَدٍ تَرَوْنَهَا [God is He who raised the heavens without pillars that ye see; or, as ye see them]: and in the same [ii. 121], وَإِذْ يَرْفَعُ إِبْرٰهِيمُ القَوَاعِدَ مِنَ البَيْتِ [And when Abraham] was rearing or uprearing or making high or lofty [the foundations of the House of God, at Mekkeh]. (Er-Rághib.) And you say, اِرْفَعْ هٰذَا Take thou this: (Mgh:) or take it and carry it [away; or take it up and remove it]. (TA.) And رَفَعَ الزَّرعَ, (Lh, K,) or رَفَعَهُ إِلَى البَيْدَرِ, (Msb,) aor. ـَ (Lh,) inf. n. رَفْعٌ (Lh, S) and رِفَاعَةٌ and رِفَاعٌ [perhaps a mistranscription for رَفَاعُ, which see below], (Lh, TA,) He removed, or transported, the seed-produce from the place in which he had reaped it, (Lh,) or carried it after the reaping, (S, K,) to the place in which the grain was to be trodden out. (Lh, S, K.) [This last signification is said in the TA to be tropical; but according to a passage of the Msb quoted in the first sentence of this art., it is proper. In most of the phrases here following, the verb is undoubtedly used tropically.] b2: رَفَعُوا إِلَىَّ عُيُونَهُمْ (tropical:) [They raised towards me their eyes]. (TA.) b3: دَخَلْتُ عَلَى فُلَانٍ فَلَمْ يَرْفَعْ بِى

رَأْسًا (Mgh, TA *) (tropical:) I went in to such a one, and he did not look towards me, nor pay any regard, or attention, to me. (Mgh.) [بِى is not here a mistake for لِى, for the phrase is often found thus written.] b4: رُفِعَ لِىَ الشَّىْءُ (assumed tropical:) [The thing was, as it were, raised into view, i. e. it rose into view, to me;] I saw the thing from afar. (TA.) b5: رَفَعَ السَّرَابُ الشَّخْصَ, aor. ـَ inf. n. رَفْعٌ, (tropical:) The mirage raised, or elevated [to the eye, (see an ex. near the end of the first paragraph of art. زول)] the figure of a man or some other thing seen from a distance; [or it may be allowable to render it, made it to appear tall, and as though quivering, vibrating, or playing up and down;] syn. زَهَاهُ [of which, when it relates to the mirage, the meaning is best expressed by the latter of the two explanations here given]. (TA.) b6: وَرَفَعْنَا بَعْضَهُمْ فَوْقَ بَعْضٍ دَرَجَاتٍ, in the Kur [xliii. 31], means (assumed tropical:) And we have exalted some of them above others in degrees of rank, or station: and نَرْفَعُ دَرَجَاتٍ

مَنْ نَشَآءُ, in the same, [vi. 83, and xii. 76,] (assumed tropical:) We exalt in degrees of rank, or station, whom We please: (Er-Rághib:) and وَاللّٰهُ يَرْفَعُ مَنْ يَشَآءُ وَيَخْفِضُ (assumed tropical:) And God exalteth whom He pleaseth, and abaseth: (S and TA:) and [in like manner,] رَفْعُ الذِّكْرِ means the exalting of one's fame; as in the Kur xciv. 4. (Er-Rághib.) But the words, وَإِلَى السَّمَآءِ كَيْفَ رُفِعَتْ, in the Kur [lxxxviii. 18], indicate two meanings; And to the heaven, how it is elevated in respect of its place; and (assumed tropical:) how it is exalted in respect of excellence, and exaltation of rank. (Er-Rághib.) [In like manner also,] فِى بُيُوتٍ أَذِنَ اللّٰهُ أَنْ تُرْفَعَ, in the Kur [xxiv. 36], means In houses which God hath permitted to be built; (Bd, TA;) accord. to some: (TA:) or, (assumed tropical:) to be honoured; (Zj, Bd;) so says El-Hasan; (Zj;) or, (assumed tropical:) to be exalted in estimation. (Er-Rághib.) It is said in a trad., إِنَّ اللّٰهَ يَرْفَعُ العَدْلَ وَيَخْفِضُهُ (assumed tropical:) Verily God exalteth the just, and maketh him to have the ascendency over the unjust, and at one time abaseth him, so that He maketh the unjust to overcome him, in order to try his creatures, in the present world.

And رَفَعْتُكَ عَنْ كَذَا (assumed tropical:) [I exalted thee, or held thee, above such a thing]: (M voce رَبَأَ:) and إِنِّى لَأَرْفَعْكَ عَنْ هٰذَا الأَمْرِ (assumed tropical:) [Verily I exalt thee, or hold thee, above this thing]. (S voce رَبَأَ, q. v.) b7: رَفَعَ اللّٰهُ عَمَلَهُ (assumed tropical:) [God honoured his work by acceptance; or] God accepted his work. (Msb.) It is said in the Kur [xxxv. 11], وَالْعَمَلُ الصَّالِحُ يَرْفَعُهُ (assumed tropical:) And righteous work He will accept: (Jel:) or the meaning is يَرْفَعُ العَمَلُ الصَّالِحُ الكَلِمَ الطَّيَّبَ (assumed tropical:) [righteous work will cause praise, or the like, (mentioned immediately before the above-cited words of the Kur,) to ascend, and obtain acceptance]: (Mujáhid, TA:) Katádeh says, [that the meaning is,] speech will not be accepted without work. (TA.) b8: رَفْعٌ Also signifies (assumed tropical:) The bringing a thing near; or presenting, or offering, it; syn. تَقْرِيبٌ. (S.) And hence, رَفَعْتُهُ إِلَى السُّلْطَانِ, (S, Mgh, K,) and إِلَى الحَكَمِ, (TA,) inf. n. رَفْعٌ (S, * TA) and رُفْعَانٌ (S, K) and رِفْعَانٌ, (TA,) (tropical:) I presented him to, or brought him before, or brought him forward to, the Sultán, (S, * Mgh, * K, * TA,) and the judge, to arraign him and contest with him: (TA:) and إِلَى الحَاكِمِ ↓ رَافَعَهُ, (S K,) inf. n. مُرَافَعَةٌ, (TA,) [in like manner] signifies (tropical:) he preferred a complaint against him to the governor, or judge: (K:) or (tropical:) he presented him to, or brought him before, or brought him forward to, the governor, or judge, to arraign him and contest with him, and preferred a complaint against him: (TA:) [or it denotes the doing so mutually; for, accord. to Mtr,] خَصْمَهُ إِلَى السُّلْطَانِ ↓ رَافَعَ signifies (tropical:) he brought his adversary before the Sultán (قَرَّبَهُ

إِلَيْهِ), the latter doing the same with him. (Mgh.)

إِلَى النَّبِىِّ (tropical:) [He traced up, or ascribed, or attributed, the tradition to the Prophet, mentioning, in ascending order, the persons by whom it had been handed down, up to the Prophet; in the manner more fully explained in the sentence here next following].

(assumed tropical:) He traced up, or ascribed, or attributed, the tradition to the author thereof, by mentioning him, or by mentioning, uninterruptedly, in ascending order, the persons by whom it had been transmitted, up to the Prophet; or by mentioning the person who had related it to him from the Prophet if only one person intervened, saying, “Such a one told me, from such a one,” (and so on if more than one intervened between him and the Prophet,) “ from the Apostle of God; ” or with an interruption in the mention of the persons by whom it had been transmitted]. (S * and Msb in art. سند.) [And hence what next follows.] It is said in a trad., رَفَعَتْ إِلَيْنَا مِنَ البَلَاغِ ↓ كُلُّ رَافِعَةٍ

فَقَدْ حَرَّمْتُهَا أَنْ تُعْضَدَ أَوْتُخْبَطَ, (S, * TA, [in a very old and excellent copy of the former of which I find, as above, إِلَيْنَا, and so in some copies of the K and in the O and TA in art. بلغ; but in one copy of the S and in the TA in the present art., I find in its place عَلَيْنَا, and so in the CK in art. بلغ, where the verb preceding it is erroneously written رُفِعَتْ; and in the L, in the place of الينا is put عَنَّا; of all which three readings I prefer the first; though the last is agreeable with an explanation of رَفَعْتُهُ given in the Msb and in the sentence next following;]) i. e. (assumed tropical:) Every company of men (جَمَاعَة, S, TA), or person (نَفْس, TA), that communicates, or announces, from us, (S, TA,) and makes known, [lit. traces up to us,] what we say, (TA,) [or rather, aught of what is communicated, or announced,] or [aught] of what is communicated, or announced, of the Kur-án and of the [statutes, or ordinances, &c., termed]

سُنَن, (K in art. بلغ,) or the meaning is مِنْ ذَوِى

البَلَاغِ, i. e., التَّبْلِيغِ, [of those who have the office of communicating, or announcing,] the simple subst. being put in the place of the inf. n., (T, O, K, TA, all in art. بلغ,) let that company, or person, communicate, or announce, and relate, that I have forbidden [its trees' being lopped, or being beaten with a stick in order that their leaves may fall off,] referring to El-Medeeneh: (S, * TA:) but some relate it differently, saying, مِنَ البُلَّاغِ [of the communicaters, or announcers,] like حُدَّاث in the sense of مُحَدِّثُون: (TA:) and some say, مِنَ البِلَاغِ, meaning من المُبَالِغِينَ فِى التَّبْلِيغِ, i. e. of those who do their utmost in communicating, or announcing.

A2: اراقهُ, (Msb in art. ريق, and K in that and the present art.,) inf. n. إِرَاقَةٌ, (S in the present art., and so in the K accord. to the TA,) He poured it out, or forth; (S, Msb, K;) namely, water and the like, (S,) or water and blood: (Msb:) and one says also هَرَاقَهُ, (Msb, TA,) changing the أ into ه, originally هَرْيَقَهُ, like دَحْرَجَهُ, in measure, (Msb,) said by Lh to be of the dial. of El-Yemen, and afterwards to have spread among Mudar, (TA in art. ريق,) aor. ـَ (Msb, TA,) with fet-h to the ه, imperative هَرِقْ, originally هَرْيِقْ, like دَحْرِجْ, (Msb,) inf. n. هِرَاقَةٌ; (S and K in art. هرق;) and أَهْرَاقَهُ, aor. ـْ (Msb, TA,) with the ه quiescent, like يُسْطِيعُ aor. of إِسْطَاعَ; or, accord. to the T, أَهْرَقْتُ is wrong as being anomalous; and some say, هَرَقْتُهُ, aor. ـَ inf. n. هَرْقٌ, as though the ه were radical. (Msb.) It is said in a trad., إِنَّ امْرَأَةً

(Msb.) ISd says that أَرَاقَ is judged to be originally أَرْوَقَ because the medial radical letter of a verb is more commonly و than ى; and because, when water is poured forth, its clearness appears, and it excites the admiration and approval of its beholder; [to which may be added, also because one says, هُما يَتَرَاوَقَانِ المَآءَ;] though Ks states that رَاقَ المَآءُ, aor. ـِ signifies The water poured out, or forth: IB says that أَرَقْتُ المَآءَ is from راق المَآءُ, aor. ـِ inf. n. رَيْقٌ, signifying the water went to and fro upon the surface of the earth.

(S, O.) b9: (assumed tropical:) A part, or portion, of the night: (S, K:) pl., accord. to IB, أَرْوُقٌ: but accord. to Aboo-'Amr Esh-Sheybánee, this is pl. of رِوَاقٌ: (TA:) [or the pl. of رَوْقٌ in this sense is أَرْوَاقٌ.] Yousay, مَضَى رَوْقٌ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ (assumed tropical:) A part, or portion, of the night passed.

Also (assumed tropical:) He ran vehemently: (A 'Obeyd, S, O, K:) not known, however, to Sh, in this sense; but known to him as meaning (assumed tropical:) he strove, laboured, toiled, or exerted himself, in a thing. (TA.) [Agreeably with this last explanation, it is said that] رَوْقٌ also signifies (assumed tropical:) A man's determination, or resolution; his action; and his purpose, or intention. (K, TA.) And hence the saying, أَلْقَى عَلَيْهِ أَرْوَاقَهُ [meaning (assumed tropical:) He devoted his mind and energy to it, or him]: (TA:) [or] you say thus, and أَلْقَى عَلَيْهِ شَرَاشِرَهُ, meaning his loving it, or him, (أَنْ يُحِبَّهُ,) vehemently [i. e.

[In my two copies of the S, and in the O and K, and hence in the TA, in the places of عَلَيْهِ and يُحِبَّهُ we find عَلَيْكَ and تُحِبَّهُ; evidently mistranscriptions which have been copied by one lexicographer after another without due consideration: or, if we read عَلَيْكَ, we should read يُحِبَّكَ; for in this case the meaning of the saying would certainly be he loved thee vehemently. Freytag, misled by the reading تُحِبَّهُ in the S and K, renders القى عليك ارواقه as meaning Magno amore erga ipsum te accendit. Golius gives, in its place, ضرب اوراقه عليه (for ارواقه), as meaning Valde amavit eum.]) b11: Yousay also, أَلْقَتِ السَّحَابَةُ أَرْوَاقَهَا, (JK, S, O, K,) or القت السحابة عَلَى الأَرْضِ ارواقها, (TA,) (tropical:) The cloud cast down its rain, and its vehement rain consisting of large drops, (S, O, K, TA,) upon the earth: (TA:) or persevered with rain, and remained stationary upon the land: (JK, TA:) or أَلْقَتِ السَّمَآءُ بِأَرْوَاقِهَا The sky cast down all the water that was in it: (IAmb, O, TA:) or this saying, (O, TA,) or the former, (K,) means cast down its clear waters; (O, K, TA;) from رَاقَ المَآءُ signifying “ the water was, or became, clear: ”

but IAmb deems this improbable, because the Arabs did not say مَآءٌ رَوْقٌ and مَاآنِ رَوْقَانِ and أَمْوَاهٌ أَرْوَاقٌ: (O, TA:) [i. e. they said رَوْقٌ only, in all cases when they used it as an epithet meaning “ clear,” because it is originally an inf. n., like عَدْلٌ &c.:] or, as some say, by بارواقها is meant its waters rendered heavy by the clouds: and one says, أَرْخَتِ السَّمَآءُ أَرْوَاقَهَا and عَزَالِيهَا (assumed tropical:) [The sky loosed, or let down, its spouts; the clouds being likened to leathern water-bags]: (TA:) [for]

A5: And الرَّوْقُ meansThe breathing of [i. e. in] the agony of death (نَفْسُ النَّزْعِ). (O, K, TA. [In the CK and in my MS. copy of the K, نَفْسُ النَّزْعِ, which means the agony of death itself.]) رُوقٌ is said to be pl. of رُوقَةٌ, and of رَائِقٌ, and of أَرْوَقُ. (TA.) [See these three words.]

رَوَقٌ Length of the teeth, with a projecting of the upper over the lower: (JK:) or length of the upper incisors exceeding that of the lower, (S, O, K, TA,) with projection of the former over the latter. (TA.) [See also 1, last sentence.]

رَيْقٌ: see رَوْقٌ, in two places, in the former half of the paragraph: b2: and see also رِيِّقٌ.

رَوْقَةٌ i. q. جَمَالٌ رَائِقٌ [i. e. Beauty, comeliness, or elegance, &c., that induces wonder, or admiration, and pleasure, or joy; or surpassing beauty, &c.].

(S, O.) b2: [Hence, الرِّوَاقُ مِنَ السَّحَابِ, expl. in the TA as meaning ما دار مِنْهُ كَرِوَاقِ البَيْتِ: but دار is here evidently a mistranscription for كَانَ; and the meaning is, (assumed tropical:) The part, of the clouds, that resembles the رواق of the tent.

(TA.) [In the K is added, after the mention of the pl., وَ كَذٰلِكَ قَوْمٌ رُوقٌ وَ رَجُلٌ أَرْوَقُ: an addition altogether redundant.]

A2: [It seems that it is also syn. with أَوْرَقُ, as being formed from the latter by transposition; and that hence] one says سَنَةٌ رَوْقَآءُ and سِنُونَ رُوقٌ [meaning (assumed tropical:) A rainless year and rainless years], and عَاثَ فِيهِمْ عَامٌ أَرْوَقُ كَأَنَّهُ ذِئْبٌ أَوْرَقُ [meaning (assumed tropical:) A rainless year made mischief, or havock, among them, as though it were a dusky wolf].

A2: الرَّمَلُ is also the name of A certain kind of metre of verse; (T, S, M, K;) [the eighth kind;] the measure of which is [originally] composed of فَاعِلَاتُنْ (T, TA) six times; (TA;) so called from الرَّمَلُ signifying “ a certain kind of walk or pace,” inf. n. of رَمَلَ [q. v.]: (M, K: *) and Kh says that it is also applied to any meagre verse or poetry, incongruous in structure; such being so named by the Arabs without their defining anything respecting it; as, for instance, the saying [of 'Abeed Ibn-El-Abras (TA in arts. ذنب and قطب)], فَالقُطَبِيَّاتُ فَالذَّنُوبُ أَقْفَرَ مِنْ أَهْلِهِ مَلْحوبُ [Melhoob (the name of a place, K in art. لحب) has become destitute of its inhabitants, and El-Kutabeeyát, (by which is meant a certain water, called القُطَبِيَّةُ, with its environs, K* and TA in art. قطب,) and Edh-Dhanoob (the name of a place, TA in art. ذنب)]: he says also that, generally, the مَجْزُوْء [i. e. what is curtailed of two of the original feet, or what consists of two feet only,] is thus called by them: accord. to IJ, it is applied by them to verse, or poetry, that is incongruous, unsound, or faulty, in structure, and such as falls short of the original [standard so as not to answer completely to any regular kind or species]: (M, TA:) thus it signifies as first explained above, and also any verse, or poetry, that is not such as is termed قَصِيد [as meaning that of which the hemistichs are complete] nor such as is termed رَجَز [which some hold to be not verse, or poetry, but a kind of rhyming prose].

مِسْكِينَةٌ [and مَسَاكِينُ, i. e. destitute, or indigent, &c.]: (K:) and the pl. is أَرَامِلُ and أَرَامِلَةٌ; (M, K;) after the manner of substs., because the quality of a subst. is predominant therein: (M:) ↓ أَرْمَلَةٌ is applied to any collective number of men and women, or men without women, or women without men, after they have become in need or want: (M:) [and] it is applied [also] to a man and to a woman as meaning poor so as to be unable to obtain anything: (T, and Mgh as from the T:) accord. to ISk, أَرَامِلُ is applied to a number of men and women, as meaning مَسَاكِينُ [expl. above]; (T, S, Mgh;) or so to a number of persons whether men or women; (Msb;) and to men though there be not among them women; (T, S, Mgh;) and so ↓ أَرْمَلَةٌ: (T, Mgh:) or this last, to a number of men and women needy, needing, or in want; (S;) and to men needy, needing, or in want, and weak, (S, K,) though there be not among them women.

“ he was lent the back of my camel. ” (TA.) See also أُرْمُولَةٌ. b2: ↓ أَرْمَلَةٌ is also applied to a woman as meaning Having no husband: (T, S, M, Msb, K:) or a widow; one whose husband has died: (IAmb, Mgh:) or not if she possesses competence, or wealth: (Ibn-Buzurj, T, Mgh, Msb, K:) it is applied to her who has no husband because she is in need of him who would expend upon her; (Msb;) or to her whose husband has died because her provision has gone and she has lost him who earned for her (IAmb, Mgh) and by means of whom her state of life had been good: (IAmb:) in like manner, also, أَرْمَلُ is applied to a man as meaning having no wife, (T, S, M, Mgh, Msb, K,) accord. to KT (T, Mgh) and Sh; (Mgh;) like as أَيِّمٌ is applied to a man [as well as to a woman], and أَيِّمَةٌ to a woman: (T:) or a widower; one whose wife has died: (TA:) or أَرْمَلُ is not applied in this sense except in cases of deviation from the usual course of speech, (IAmb, Mgh, Msb, [and the like is said in the Mgh also as on the authority of Lth, and in the M as on the authority of IJ,]) because the man's provision does not go in consequence of the death of his wife, since she is not his maintainer, (IAmb, Mgh, Msb,) whereas he is her maintainer: (IAmb:) Jereer says, كُلُّ الأَرَامِلِ قَدْ قَضَيْتَ حَاجَتَهَا فَمَنْ لِحَاجَةِ هٰذَا الأَرَمَلِ الذَّكَرِ (M, TA,) or هٰذِى الأَرَامِلُ الخ; (S, Mgh; [in the former ascribed in one of my copies to an unnamed poet, and in the other, to El-Hotei-ah; but in the Mgh, to Jereer, as in the M;]) [i. e. All the widows, or these widows, thou hast accomplished their want; but who is there for the want of this male widowed person]; meaning thereby himself. (M, TA.) It is said that, if one bequeath his property to the أَرَامِل, some of it is to the men whose wives have died: (Mgh:) IB says, on the authority of IKt, that when a man says, “This property is for the أَرَامِل,” it is for the men and the women, because الأَرَامِلُ applies to the males and the women; but he adds, IAmb says that it is to be given to the women exclusively of the men, because الارامل generally applied to the women. (TA. [This is cited in the TA as though relating to ارامل as meaning مَسَاكِين: but IAmb evidently uses it here as applying to women whose husbands have died; and this is its predominant meaning.]) b3: It is also applied to a [lizard of the kind called] ضَبّ, in the following saying of a rájiz, أُحبُّ أَنْ أَصْطَادَ ضَبًّا سَحْبَلَا رَعَى الرَّبِيعَ وَالشِّتَآءَ أَرْمَلَا (T, TA,) meaning [I love to hunt out, or catch, a large ضبّ, that has pastured during the autumn and the winter,] having no female, so that he may be fat.

And خَبِيصٌ مُرَمَّلٌ [A mess of dates and clarified butter mixed together] into which dust, or earth, and sand, have been put: (so in a copy of the T: [but this seems to be a mistake, occasioned by the omission of what here follows:]) [or] such as has been much stirred about and turned over (K, TA, and so in the TT, as from the T) [app. with coarse flour (see جَرِيشٌ)] so that it has complicated streaks.

روم

1 رَامَ, (T, S, M, Msb,) aor. ـُ (T, S, Msb,) inf. n. رَوْمٌ (T, S, M, Msb, K) and مَرَامٌ, (Msb, K, TA,) He sought, sought for or after, or desired, syn. طَلَبَ, (T, * M, Msb, K, *) a thing. (S, M, Msb.) b2: [And hence, He attempted another person in fight &c., and a thing.] b3: And [hence also] الرَّوْمُ, (K,) or رَوْمُ الحَرَكَةِ, mentioned by Sb, (S,) [as though signifying The desiring to pronounce the vowel-sound without fully accomplishing that desire,] means [the pronouncing] a vowel-sound (حَرَكَة) slurred (مُخْتَلَسَة) and rendered obscure, (S, K,) for, or by, [accord. to different copies of the S,] a sort of alleviation [of the utterance]; (S;) it is more [in effect] than what is termed الإِشْمَام, because it is heard; (S, K;) and it is of the same measure [in prosody] as the vowel-sound [fully pronounced]; as [in the case of what is termed] هَمْزَةٌ بَيْنَ بَيْنَ, such as in the saying of the poet, أَاَنْ زُمَّ أَجْمَالٌ وَفَارَقَ جِيرَةٌ وَ صَاحَ غُرَابُ البَيْنِ أَنْتَ حَزِينُ [Is it because that camels have had the nose-reins attached to them, and neighbours have separated, one from another, and the raven of disunion has uttered its cry, thou art mourning?]; أَاَنْ زُمْ being scanned as فَعُولُنْ; and it not being allowable to make the ع [in فعولن] quiescent: it is such also as in the phrase in the Kur [ii. 181]

شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ with him who makes [the dammeh] obscure; it being only with a slurred vowel-sound (حَرَكَة مُخْتَلَسَة); and it not being allowable for the former ر [i. e. the ر of شهر] to be quiescent, because the ه before it is quiescent, for this would lead to the combination of two quiescent letters in a case of continuity, [i. e. when there is no pause after them,] without there being before them a soft letter [i. e. ا or و or ى, as in دَوَابّ &c.], which is not found in any of the dialects of the Arabs: and it is such also as in the instances in the Kur [xv. 9 and x. 36 and xxxvi. 49] إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا الذِّكْرَ and أَمَّنْ لَا يَهِدِّى and يَخِصِّمُونَ [ for يَهْتَدِى and يَخْتَصِمُونَ], and the like thereof: no regard should be paid to the saying of Fr, that in this [last] and the like instances a letter [which in this instance and in the next preceding it is ت] is incorporated into another [following it]; for they [i. e. the Arabs] do not realize this mode [of incorporation]; and he who combines two quiescent letters in an instance in which the slurring of the vowel-sound (اِخْتِلَاسُ الحَرَكَةِ) is not proper errs; as in the reading of Hamzeh, in the Kur [xviii. 96], فَمَا اسطَّاعُوا; for the س of الاِسْتِفْعَالُ may not be made movent in any manner [and therefore it may not be incorporated into the following letter]. (S, TA.) الرَّوْمُ is [also] in a case of pausing after a word ending with any letter except the fem. ة, [in like manner] meaning The indicating the vowel with an obscure sound: (I' Ak p. 351:) رَوْمُ الحَرَكَةِ in pausing after a word that is مَرْفُوع or مَجْرُور is from رَامَ الشَّىْءَ signifying طَلَبَهُ: Sb says that those of whom one says رَامُوا الحَرَكَةَ [They slurred the vowel-sound] are induced to do what this signifies [instead of suppressing the vowel-sound entirely] by eagerness to exclude it from the case of that which is necessarily made quiescent in every instance, and to show that its case is, in their opinion, not like the case of that which is made quiescent in every instance. (M.) [See also 4 in art. شور.]2 روّم فُلَانًا (Msb, K) followed by الشَّىْءَ, (Msb,) and (K) روّم بِفُلَانٍ, (IAar, S, K,) He made such a one to seek, seek for or after, or desire, the thing. (IAar, S, Msb, K.) b2: And روّم رَأْيَهُ He meditated, intended, purposed, desired, or endeavoured, to do one thing after another. (K.) A2: And روّم He tarried; paused; tarried and waited or expected; or was patient, and tarried and waited or expected. (K.) Quasi 4. أَرَمْتَ, for أَرْمَمْتَ: see the latter, near the end of the first paragraph of art. رم.5 تروّم بِهِ, or بِهَا, accord. to different copies of the K, (TA,) He mocked at, scoffed at, laughed at, derided, or ridiculed, him, or her. (K, TA.) رَامٌ A certain species of trees. (S, K. *) رَوْمٌ inf. n. of 1 [q. v.]. (T, S, M, &c.) A2: See also what next follows.

رُومٌ The lobe, or lobule, of the ear; (M, K;) as also ↓ رُومٌ. (K.) A2: الرُّومُ A certain nation, (M, K,) well known; (M;) [said by the Arabs to be] descendants of Er-Room, the son of Esau (عيصُو [so called by the Arabs]), (T, * S, K,) the son of Isaac the Prophet; (TA;) [i. e. the Greeks; generally meaning, of the Lower Empire; but sometimes, only those of Asia; and sometimes those of the Lower Empire together with all the nations of Europe beside: the ancient Greeks are more properly called by the Arabs اليُونَانُ:] one says ↓ رُومِىٌّ and رُومٌ; (S, K;) the former of these two appellations being applied to a single person, (M, K,) and the latter being the pl., (S, K,) [or rather a coll. gen. n.,] like زِنْجِىٌّ and زِنْجٌ; (AAF, S, M;) the former being distinguished from the latter only by the doubled ى, like as تَمْرَةٌ is distinguished from تَمْرٌ its pl. [or coll. gen. n.] only by the ة: (S:) and رُومِىٌّ has for [its proper] pl. ↓ أَرْوَامٌ. (TA.) [It is also applied to The country of the nation, or people, so called, both in Europe and Asia, and sometimes only in Asia. Hence, بَحْرُ الرُّومِ The Sea of the Greeks; meaning the Mediterranean Sea.]

رُومَةٌ Glue, with which the feathers of an arrow are stuck: (M, K:) said by A'Obeyd to be [thus] without ء; but mentioned by Th with ء. (M, TA. [See art. رأم.]) رُومِىٌّ The sail of an empty ship: (AA, T, K:) that of a full ship is called مُرْبِعٌ. (AA, T.) A2: See also رُومٌ.

رُوَامٌ i. q. لُغَامٌ [The foam of the mouth of a camel]: (K:) mentioned also in art. رُؤَامٌ [as written رُؤَامٌ, and signifying slaver]. (TA.) رُوَّامٌ [pl. of ↓ رَائِمٌ, which signifies Seeking, &c.; act. part. n. of 1:] i. q. طُلَّابٌ [pl. of طَالِبٌ]. (TA.) رَائِمٌ: see what next precedes.

أَرْوَامٌ pl. of رُومِىٌّ. (TA.) See رُومٌ.

مَرَامٌ i. q. مَطْلَبْ (S, M, K) [accord. to the PS A place of seeking or searching: but it should be observed that مَطْلَبٌ is an inf. n., and also a n. of place and of time: also that مَرَامٌ is expressly said in the Msb and TA to be an inf. n. of رَامَ, though not in the S nor in the M: and that it is mentioned in the K in the beginning of this art. as syn. with رَوْمٌ in the sense of طَلَبٌ, and at the end of the art. as signifying the same as مَطْلَبٌ]. One says, هُوَ ثَبْتُ المَقَامِ بَعِيدُ المَرَامِ [which may mean He is firm, or steady, in respect of the place of standing; far-aiming in respect of the place of seeking: or, agreeably with an explanation voce ثَبْتٌ, he is one who does not quit his station, or abode, without necessity, though far-aiming &c.: but it is obvious that both المقام and المرام may here be inf. ns.]. (TA.) مَرُومٌ Sought, sought for or after, or desired. (Msb.)
