1 مَرِضَ, (S, Msb, K,) aor. ـَ inf. n. مَرَضٌ and مَرْضٌ, (Msb, K,) which latter is a dial. form rarely used, (Msb,) He (a man, S, or an animal [of any kind], Msb) was, or became, [diseased, disordered, distempered, sick, or ill; i. e.] in the state termed مَرَضٌ (S, Msb, K) denoting that change of the constitution or temperament which is described in the explanation of this term below; (K;) as also ↓ امرض, expl. by صَارَ ذَا مَرَضٍ. (K, TA; but not in the CK.) b2: [Hence, مَرِضَتِ العَيْنُ (tropical:) The eye became languid; or languishing; or weak: (see مَرِيضٌ:) or, as Golius says, on the authority of Ibn-Maaroof, was weak from much, and too much, looking.]

b3: And مَرِضَتِ اللَّيْلَةُ (tropical:) The night became dark. (Th, O.) b4: [The verb probably has several other tropical significations agreeable with explanations of مَرَضٌ and مَرِيضٌ which will be found below.]2 مرّضهُ, (S, Mgh, Msb,) inf. n. تَمْرِيضٌ, (S, Msb, K,) He took care of him in his sickness; (Sb, S, Mgh;) and treated him medically, to remove his disease; the measure فَعَّلَ in this instance having a privative quality, though its quality is in most instances confirmative: (Sb:) or he took good care of him, namely a sick person: (K:) or he undertook, or managed, or superintended, the medical treatment of him. (Msb.) A2: مرّض فِى الأَمْرِ, (IDrd, A,) [and مَرَّضَهُ, (O, K voce ضَهْيَأَ,)] inf. n. as above, (S, K,) (tropical:) He fell short of doing what he ought to have done, or was remiss, in, or with respect to, the affair: (S, A:) or he did not exert himself to the full, or to the utmost, or beyond what is usual, in it: (IDrd:) or he did it weakly, or feebly, (K, * TA,) not firmly or soundly: (TA:) as also فِيهِ ↓ مارض.

(IDrd.) b2: [حَكَاهُ بِصِيغَةِ التَّمْرِيضِ, probably a post-classical phrase, signifies (assumed tropical:) He mentioned it, or related it, in a manner implying that it was doubtful, or was a mere assertion; as when the word قِيلَ is used.]3 مارض فِى الأَمْرِ: see 2. b2: مَارَضْتُ رَأْيِى فِيكَ (tropical:) I deceived myself, or endeavoured to deceive myself, respecting thee. (A, TA.) 4 امرض: see 1. b2: He had a bane, or murrain, (Yaakoob, S,) or a disease, or distemper, (A, TA,) in his beasts, (Yaakoob, S, A,) or camels. (TA.) A2: امرضهُ He (God, S, Msb) rendered him مَرِيض [or diseased, &c.]. (Sb, S, * Msb, K.) You say also, أَكَلَ مَا لَمْ يُوَافِقْهُ فَأَمْرَضَهُ (A, TA) [He ate what did not agree with him, and] it caused him to fall into المَرَض [or disease, &c.]. (TA.) b2: [Hence,] إِمْرَاضُ الأجْفَانِ (S, voce إِسْجَادٌ) (tropical:) The lowering of the eyelids [in a languid, or languishing, manner: see مَرِيضٌ]. (TK, voce إِسْجَادٌ.) b3: امرضهُ also signifies He found him to be مَرِيض [or diseased, &c.]. (K.) A3: Also امرض (assumed tropical:) He was near to being right in opinion, (S, L, K, *) though not altogether right. (L.) In the K, this signification is wrongly assigned to امرضهُ. (TA.) A poet says, (S,) namely El-Ukeyshir El-Asadee, praising 'Abd-el-Melik Ibn-Marwán, (TA.) وَلٰكِنْ تَحْتَ ذَاكَ الشَّيْبِ حَزْمٌ

إِذَا مَا ظَنَّ أَمْرَضَ أَوْ أَصَابَا [But beneath that hoariness is good judgment: when he forms an opinion, he is nearly right, or he is right]. (S, TA.) b2: Also, امرضهُ فُلَانٌ (tropical:) Such a one was near to attaining the object of his [another's] want. (A, TA.) 5 تمرّض (tropical:) He was weak, or feeble, in his affair. (A, * K, TA.) [It seems to be indicated in the A that ↓ تمارض also has this signification; like as مارض in nearly the same sense is syn. with مرّض, q. v.: or perhaps تمارض signifies (tropical:) he feigned, or made a false show of, weakness, or feebleness, in his affair: it is said, in the A, to be used tropically as well as properly.]6 تمارض He feigned, or made a false show of, مَرَض [or disease, &c.] in himself. (S, A. *) b2: See also 5.

Accord. to Lh, you say, عُدْ فُلَانٌ فَإِنَّهُ مَرِيضٌ [Visit thou such a one, for he is sick]: and لَا تَأْكُلْ هٰذَا

(S, art. عرض.) b5: أَمْكَنَتْهُ She granted him attainment.5 تَمَكَّنَ i. q. اِسْتَقَرَّ: (Msb, art. قر:) it is very often used in this sense, as meaning He, or it, settled; became fixed, or established; it became fixed, or steady, in its place; when said of a man, particularly implying in authority and power: see قَرَّ. b2: تَمَكَّنَ مِنْ شَىْءٍ, and ↓ اِسْتَمْكَنَ, He became possessed of mastery, or dominion, or ascendancy, or authority, and power, over a thing; he was able to avail himself of it: [he was, or became, within reach of him, or it.] (Msb.) b3: تَمَكَّنَ مِنْهُ He assumed authority over him.10 اِسْتَمْكَنَ : see 5. b2: He, or it, was, or became, firm.

ني

أ1 نَآءَ, aor. ـِ (so in the S, Nh, L, Msb; but in some copies of the K, يناءُ, [which appears to be put by mistake for the inf. n. in the acc. case];) inf. n. نَىْءٌ, (S,) and نَىٌّ, without ء, and نَوْءٌ, (Sh,) It (flesh meat, &c.) was not, or did not become, sufficiently cooked; it was insufficiently cooked: (S, K:) (like نَهِئَ:) or it was untouched by fire; (i. e., raw]. (L.) b2: It (a thing) was not firmly, not soundly, not thoroughly, done. [See 4.] (TA.) 2 نَيَّاَ see 4.4 اناء الأَمْرَ He did the thing not firmly, not soundly, not thoroughly. الامر ↓ نيّأ, accord. to the K, signifies the same: but this is unknown, and not authorized by transmission [from the Arabs of the classical ages], and therefore not mentioned by IM nor by other leading lexicographers: the correct phrases are [when the verb is intrans.] ناء الامرُ [and اللحمُ], and [when it is trans.] اناء اللحمَ [and الامر]: the forms of the verb being like بَانَ and أَبَانَ. (TA.) b2: اناء, (S, incorrectly written in the K أَنْيَأَ, TA,) inf. n. إِنَآءَةٌ, He insufficiently cooked flesh-meat [&c.]. (S, K.) نِىْءٌ Flesh meat &c. insufficiently cooked: (S, K:) or untouched by fire; [i. e., raw]. (L.) It was also pronounced by the Arabs نِىٌّ; but the original word is with ء. (TA.) b2: Wine untouched by the fire: cooked [or mulled] wine being called نَضِيجٌ, (TA [written نِىٌّ, without ء]). b3: Pure [and sweet] milk: sour milk being called نضيج: or milk just drawn from the udder, before it is put into the skin. (TA [written نِىٌّ, without ء.]) نَىٌّ [for نَىْءٌ] Fat, as contradistinguished from flesh, [which is app. called نَضِيجٌ]. (TA.) نُيُوْءٌ and نُيُوْءَةٌ The state of being insufficiently cooked: (S, K:) or of being untouched by fire; [i. e., rawness]. (L.)

نجب

1 نَجَبَ الشَّجَرَةَ, aor. ـِ and نَجُبَ, inf. n. نَجْبٌ, He took off the bark of the stem, or trunk, of the tree: (S:) or نَجَبَهُ, aor. and inf. n. as above; and ↓ نجّبه, inf. n. تَنْجِيبٌ; and ↓ انتجبه; He took off its bark; barked it. (ISd, K.) See نَجَبٌ.

A2: نَجُبَ, aor. ـُ inf. n. نَجَابَةٌ, He was generous, noble, or liberal, &c.: [see نَجِيبٌ]. (Msb, K.) He, or it, was excellent, or choice. (MA.) [Said of a horse and the like, He was generous, excellent, strong, light, or swift.] b2: نَاجَبَهُ فَنَجَبَهُ: see 3.2 نَجَّبَ see 1.3 نَاْجَبَ ↓ نَاجَبَهُ فَنَجَبَهُ [He vied with him, or strove to surpass him, in generosity, nobleness, or liberality; and he surpassed him therein.] (TA, art. خير.) 4 انجب He begot a generous, noble, or liberal, child; such as is termed نَجِيبٌ. (S.) [This verb, being coupled in the K with نَجُبَ, might be imagined syn. therewith; but this, accord. to the TA, is not the case.] El-Aashà says, أَنْجَبَ أَزْمَانَ وَالِدَاهُ بِهِ

إِذْ نَجَلَاهُ فَنِعْمَ مَا نَجَلَا (S) He begot a generous son in the times when his parents (rejoiced) in him, when they produced him; and excellent was that which they produced. Accord. to one reading, the second word is أَيَّامَ: and أَيَّامُ وَالِدَيْهِ is also read in place of ازمان والداه; in which case, ايَّام is fig. the agent of انجب. (TA.) b2: انجبت is said of a woman, in the same sense. (TA.) See also انخب. b3: انجب [as also انخب] He begot a cowardly child: (from نَجَبٌ, the “ bark ” of a tree: TA:) thus the verb bears two contr. significations: (K:) or the two significations are not necessarily contr.; for a courageous man may be not generous, or liberal; and a generous, or liberal, man may be not courageous. (MF.) 8 انتجبهُ He selected him; chose him; (S;) preferred him above others. (TA.) See also انتخب. b2: See 1. b3: ذَهَبَ يَنْتَجِبُ He went to collect [the kind of bark called] نَجَبٌ. (TA.) b4: A poet says, يَا أَيُّهَا الزَّاعِمُ أَنِّى أَجْتَلِبْ وَأَنَّنِى غَيْرَ عِضَاهِى أَنْتَجِبْ meaning, O thou who assertest that I take the verses of other poets and appropriate them to myself, and, and as it were, take the bark of other trees than my own 'idáh, to tan therewith... (TA.) [See عِضَاهُ.]

نَجْبٌ: see نَجِيبٌ.

نَجَبٌ The bark (لِحَآء) of trees: (S, K:) or the rind of the roots thereof: or of what is hard thereof. (K.) The soft peel of branches is not thus called; nor is the rind of roots called قِشْر, but نجب: n. un. نَجَبَةٌ. (TA.) نَجْبَةُ نَمْلَةٍ A bite of an ant. So in a trad., accord. to one reading: accord. to another reading, it is نَخْبَة. Both these words are given by IAth on the authority of Z. (TA.) نُجَبَةٌ and نَجَبَةٌ: see نَجِيبٌ.

نَجِيبٌ A generous, noble, liberal, man; (S, K;) one distinguished by rank or quality, nobility or eminence, reputation or note or consideration; (K;) excellent; of great worth in his kind; one who is like his father in generosity and actions: (TA:) as also ↓ نَجْبٌ (K) [explained as signifying “ liberal, generous ”] and ↓ نُجَبَةٌ: (S, K:) or you call a man نجيب when he is generous, noble, or liberal; but when he is unequalled among his people in generosity, &c., you say قَوْمِهِ ↓ هُوَ نَجَبَةُ, in measure like حَلَمَة: (El-'Alam Es-Sakháwee:) [but MF doubts the correctness of this measure; and seems to think that the correct word is ↓ نُجَبَة:] القَوْمِ ↓ هو نُجَبَةُ is said of a man when he is the man, among them, who is distinguished by generosity, &c.: (S:) pl. نُجَبَآءُ and أَنْجَابٌ and نُجُبٌ. (K.) b2: نَجِيبٌ Excellent, as an epithet applied to any animal; (IAth;) a generous, excellent, camel or horse; one of high breed; (ISd;) a strong, light, swift, camel: (TA:) you say نَاقَةٌ نَجِيبَةٌ as well as ناقة نَجِيبٌ: (K:) pl. نَجَائِبُ (S, K) and نُجُبٌ. (S.) b3: نَجَائِبُ القُرْآنِ The most excellent, and the purest, parts of the Kur-án. Of such is the سُورَةُ الأَنْعَام. (TA.) In like manner, ↓ نَوَاجِبُهُ The heart thereof that has [as it were] no نَجَب [or bark] upon it: or the best, or most excellent, thereof. (K.) نَوَاجِبُ: see what next precedes.

مُنْجِبٌ A man who begets generous, noble, or liberal, children; such as are termed نُجَبَاءُ. (K.) In like manner, اِمْرَأَةٌ مُنْجِبَةٌ, and ↓ مِنْجَابٌ: (S, K:) pl. of the latter مَنَاجِيبُ. (S.) b2: ↓ منجاب also signifies A woman who has generous, noble, or liberal, children; such as are termed نجبآء. (TA.) مِنْجَابٌ A weak man: (S, K:) pl. مَنَاجِيبُ. (TA.) See مُنْجِبٌ, and also مِنْخَابٌ. b2: مِنْجَابٌ An arrow that has neither feathers nor head; (A'Obeyd, S;) that is trimmed, shaped, or pared, but has neither feathers nor head. (As, A'Obeyd, K.) b3: مِنْجَابٌ An iron with which a fire is stirred.
