(TA.) Yousay أَمْرٌ رَاتِبٌ A thing, or an affair, continual, or uninterrupted, (دَارٌّ.) constant, firm, steady, &c.: and ↓ أَمْرٌ تُرْتَبٌ, the latter word of the measure تُفْعَلٌ, with damm to the ت and fet-h to the ع, a thing, or an affair, constant, firm, steady, &c.

And عَيْشٌ رَاتِبٌ Constant, or continual, (M, TA,) fixed, settled, or established, (TA,) means of subsistence. (M, TA.) And مَا زِلْتُ عَلَى هٰذَا رَاتِبًا I ceased not to be, or to do, thus constantly; as also رَاتِمًا; in which, IJ says, the م is app. a substitute for ب, because we have not heard رَتَمَ used like رَتَبَ; but it may be radical, from الرَّتِيمَةُ. (M.) b2: [رَاتِبٌ in the modern language, used as a subst., signifies A set pension, salary, and allowance; a ration; and any set office, or task: and so رَاتِبَةٌ; pl. رَوَاتِبُ.]

تُرْتَبٌ and تُرْتُبٌ and تَرْتُبٌ: see the next preceding paragraph, in four places. b2: You say also, جَاؤُوا تُرْتَبًا and تُرْتُبًا, meaning They came all together. (K.) And a poet says, (M,) namely, Ziyád Ibn-Zeyd El-'Odharee, (TA,) وَكَانَ لَنَا فَضْلٌ عَلَى النَّاسِ تُرْتَبَا meaning [And we possessed excellence above the people] all together: (M, TA:) thus accord. to the reading commonly known: but, as some relate it, وَكَانَ لَنَا حَقًّا عَلَى النَّاسِ تُرْتَبَا i. e. [And it was a just claim that we had upon the people,] settled, or established. (TA.) The first ت in تُرْتَبٌ is augmentative, because there is no word like جُعْفَرٌ; and the derivation also is an evidence of this, for the word is from الشَّىْءُ الرَّاتِبُ. (M.) A2: Also the second of these three words, (T in art. ترب, and M, and L,) or the first of them, (K,) A bad slave: (T, K:) or a slave whom three persons inherit, one after another; because of his continuance in slavery: [it being a common custom for a man to make a good slave free at his death:] mentioned by Th.

(K.) أَخَذَ فُلَانٌ تُرْتُبَّةً Such a one took what was like a road, to tread it. (K, * TA.) مَرْتَبَةٌ, and its pl. مَرَاتِبُ: see رُتْبَةٌ, in six places. b2: Accord. to As, it signifies A place of observation, which is the summit of a mountain, or the upper part thereof: (S:) accord. to Kh, (S,) the مَرَاتِب in mountains and in deserts (صَحَارٍ) are [structures such as are termed] أَعْلَام [pl. of عَلَمٌ, q. v.,] upon which are stationed (↓ تُرَبُ) scouts, or spies: (T, S:) or places to which scouts ascend, in, or upon, mountains. (A.) b3: The pl. also signifies Narrow and rugged parts of valleys. (TA from a trad.) b4: And the sing., Any difficult station or position. (M.) b5: See also رَتَبٌ, in two places. b6: [In post-classical works, and in the language of the present day, it is applied to A mattress, upon which to sit or recline or lie; such as is spread upon a couch-frame or upon the ground.]

الآخَرِ (tropical:) [One of his two sayings outweighed the other; surpassed, excelled, was preferable to, or of more force or validity than, the other]. (A.) b3: And رَجَحَ الشَّىْءُ The thing was, or became, heavy.

And فَرَجَحْتُهُ ↓ رَاجَحْتُهُ (assumed tropical:) [I vied with him in gravity, &c., and surpassed him therein]. (S, K, TA.) b3: You say also, رَجَحَ الشَّىْءَ بِيَدِهِ He weighed the thing with his hand, trying what was its weight: (TA:) or so رَجَحَهُ alone.

(TA.) b3: [Hence,] ترجّح بَيْنَ شَيْئَيْنِ (assumed tropical:) He wavered, or vacillated, between two things; (A in art. رنح, and TA;) [and so ↓ رجّح, for] التَّرْجِيحُ بَيْنَ شَيْئَيْنِ is like التَّمْيِيلُ بَيْنهُمَا.

رغد

1 رَغِدَ, (S, Msb, K,) aor. ـَ (Msb, K,) inf. n. رَغَدٌ (Msb) [and رَغْدٌ, as seems to be indicated in the K by its being said that the verb is like سَمِعَ]; and رَغُدَ, (S, Msb, K,) aor. ـُ (Msb, K,) inf. n. رَغَادَةٌ; (Msb;) It (one's life) was, or became, ample in its means or circumstances, unstraitened, or plentiful, (S, Msb, K,) and easy, (Msb,) and pleasant.

(TA.) إِنَّهُ لَرِجْسٌ مَرْجُوسٌ and رجل مَرْجُوسٌ [are phrases mentioned, but not explained, in the TA: but I think that رجل is a mistranscription for رِجْزٌ; and that مرجوس, in each case, is a corroborative].

&c.: (Msb:) or, accord. to IDrd, نَرْجِسٌ is of the measure فَعْلِلٌ, and the only instance of that measure. (TA in art. نرجس.) If you name a man نَرْجِس, you make it imperfectly decl., because it is like نَضْرِبُ: (S:) but if you name him نِرْجِس, it is perfectly decl., because it is of the measure فِعْلِلٌ (TA) [or نِفْعِلٌ, neither of which is the measure of a verb]. b2: نَرْجِسُ المَائِدَةِ: see زُمَاوَرْدٌ.

(Msb: [explained in my copy by لحقته وسبقته: but I think that سبقته is a mistranscription for تَبِعْتُهُ; and that the meaning therefore is, I overtook him and followed him.]) One says, كَانَ نَزَلَ بِهِمْ أَمْرٌ فَرَدِفَ لَهُمْ آخَرُ أَعْظَمُ مِنْهُ [An event had befallen them, and another, of greater magnitude than it, happened afterwards to them].

And أَمْرٌ ↓ اردفهُ is a dial. var. of رَدِفَهُ, meaning An event happened to him afterwards: (S, O:) or رَدِفَهُمُ الأَمْرُ and ↓ أَرْدَفَهُم signify the event came upon them suddenly, or unexpectedly; or came upon them so as to overwhelm them.

It is said in the Kur [xxvii. 74], عَسَى أَنْ يَكُونَ رَدِفَ لَكُمْ بَعْضُ الَّذِى تَسْتَعْجِلُونَ, meaning [Perhaps a portion of that which ye desire to hasten] may have drawn near to you; (Yoo, Fr, T, O,) as though the ل were introduced because the meaning is دَنَا لَكُمْ: or it may mean يَكُونَ رَدِفَكُمْ [may have become close behind you]; (Fr, T, O;) the ل being introduced for a reason mentioned above, as in سَمِعَ لَهُ &c. for سَمِعَهُ &c.: (Fr, T:) El-Aaraj read رَدَفَ لكم. (O.) and Khuzeymeh Ibn-Málik Ibn-Nahd says, الثُّرَيَّا ↓ إِذَا الجَوْزَآءُ أَرْدَفَتِ ظَنَنْتُ بِآلِ فَاطِمَةَ الظُّنُونَا [When Orion, or Gemini, shall ride behind, or closely follow, the Pleiades, (an event which will never occur,) I will form in my mind, respecting the family (meaning the father) of Fátimeh, opinions]: (S, O:) cited by Fr [and by J] as an ex. of اردفت in the sense of رَدِفَت: (T:) he means Fátimeh the daughter of Yedhkur Ibn-'Anazeh, who [i. e. Yedhkur] was one of the قَارِظَان. (S, O.

(Msb.) You say, هَذِهِ دَابَّةٌ لَا تُرَادِفُ (T, S, M, O, K) and ↓ لَا تُرْدِفُ, (Lth, M, O, K,) but the latter is rare, (K,) or post-classical, of the language of the people of towns and villages, (T, O,) and not allowable, (T,) This beast will not allow a رَدِيف (Lth, T, M) to ride it; (Lth, T;) will not bear a رديف. (S, O, K.) b2: مُرَادَفَةُ الجَرَادِ signifies The mounting of [locusts one behind, or upon, another;] the male locust upon the female, and the third upon those two. (S, O, K.) b3: And مُرَادَفَةُ المُلُوكِ is [a phrase meaning The acting as a رِدْف, or as أَرْدَاف, to the kings,] from الرِّدَافَةُ [q. v.]. (O, K.) Jereer, who was of the Benoo-Yarbooa, to whom pertained the رِدَافَة in the Time of Ignorance, says, رَبَعْنَا وَرَادَفْنَا المُلُوكَ فَظَلِّلُوا وطَابَ الأَحَالِيبِ الثُّمَامَ المُنَزَّعَا [We have taken the fourth part of the spoils, and we have acted as أَرْدَاف to the kings; therefore shade ye the skins of the camel-loads of milk collected from the camels in the pasture with panic grass plucked up, and so make it cool for us]: (S, * O:) وِطَاب is the pl. of the وَطْب of milk. (S.) b4: [In the conventional language of lexicology, رادفهُ, inf. n. مُرَادَفَةٌ, signifies It was synonymous with it; i. e. a word with another word: as though the former supplied the place of the latter, like as the رِدْف supplied the place of the king. See also 6.]4 أَرْدَفْتُهُ, (T, S, Msb,) inf. n. إِرْدَافٌ, (Msb,) I made him to ride (Sh, Zj, T, S, Msb) behind me, (Sh, * Zj, T, Msb,) or with me, (S,) on the back of the [same] beast; and so ↓ اِرْتَدَفْتُهُ: (Msb:) or ↓ ارتدفهُ signifies he placed him behind him on the beast: (M:) and أَرْدَفْتُهُ مَعَهُ I made him to ride with him [or behind him, on the same beast].

(M.) b2: It is also a word alluding to a certain foul act: (M, O:) from الرِّدْفُ signifying العَجُزُ. (M.) You say, (of two boys, or young men, TK,) تَرَادَفَا meaning تَنَاكَحَا.

مُتَرَادِفٌ, as a conventional term in lexicology, Synonymous: you say أَلْفَاظٌ مُتَرَادِفَةٌ synonymous words or expressions. (Mz, 27th نوع.) [Loosely explained in the K by the words أَنْ يَكُونَ اسْمًا لِشّىْءٍ وَاحِدٍ, meaning significant of one thing; which is the contr. of مُشْتَرَكٌ, i. e. “ homonymous: ” and in like manner, المُتَرَادِفَةُ is expl. in the O, ان تكون أَسْمَآءً لشىءٍ واحدٍ; and is said to be post-classical.] مُتَرَادِفَاتٌ [its pl. when used as a subst.] signifies Synonyms; i. e. single, or simple, words denoting the same thing considered in one and the same respect or light: thus the مُتَرَادِفَانِ differ from the noun and the definition [thereof], because these [generally] are not both single words; and from the مُتَبَايِنَانِ [or “ two disparates ”] such as السَّيْفُ and الصَّارِمُ, because these denote the same thing considered in two different respects, the one in respect of the substance, and the other in respect of the quality: (Fakhred-Deen [Er-Rázee] in the Mz, 27th نوع:) or they may be two simple words, as اللَّيْثُ and الأَسَدُ; and two compound expressions, as, جُلُوسُ اللَّيْثِ and قُعُودُ الأَسَدِ; and a single word and a compound expression, as المُزُّ and الحُلْوُ الحَامِضُ. (Kull p. 130.) [See also مُرَادِفُ لَفْظٍ.] [This art. is wanting in the copies of the L and TA to which I have had access.]
