برقش

Q. 1 برْقَشَهُ, (S, A, TA,) inf. n. بَرْقَشَةٌ, (TA,) He variegated it with divers, or different, colours; (S, TA;) from أَبُو بَرَاقِشَ, the bird so called: (S:) or he adorned him, or it. (A.) [See also بَرْقَشَةٌ, below.] b2: Hence, بَرْقَشَ قَوْلَهُ (assumed tropical:) He embellished his saying. (Har p. 235.) Q. 2 تَبَرْقَشَ He adorned himself (A, K) with various colours. (K.) You say, تَبَرْقَشَ لَنَا He adorned himself with various colours for us: (K:) or with various colours of every kind. (TA.) And تَبَرْقَشَتْ She assumed various colours: or she varied in dispositions: syn. تَلَوَّنَتْ. (A.) and تبرقش البَيْتُ The house, or chamber, or tent, became variegated. (TA.) And تبرقشت البِلَادُ The countries became adorned with various colours; from أَبُو بَرَاقِشَ. (TA.) بِرْقِشٌ A certain bird, (S, K,) different from that called أَبُو بَرَاقِشَ, (K, accord. to the TA, [ for we there read طَائِرٌ آخَرُ; the bird called ابو براقش having been mentioned before; but in the CK, in the place of آخَرُ, we find أَخْضَرُ, i. e., green;]) of small size, (S, TA,) that assumes various colours, of the kind called حُمَّر, (TA,) like the sparrow, (S, TA,) and called شُرْشُورٌ (S, K) by the people of El-Hijáz: (S, TA:) but Az states his having heard certain of the Arabs of the desert call it ابو براقش. (TA.) بَرْقَشَةٌ The diversity of colour of that which is termed أَرْقَشُ. (K.) [See also 1.]

أَبُو بَرَاقِشَ A certain bird that assumes various colours; (S;) a small wild bird, like the قَنْفُذ [or hedge-hog, but قُنْفُذ is probably a mistranscription for قُنْبُر, or lark], the upper part of whose feathers is dust-coloured (أَغْبَرُ, as in the K, accord. to the TA), or white (أَغَرُّ, as in some copies of the K), and the middle red, and the lower part black, so that when it is roused, or provoked, it ruffles its feathers and becomes variously changed in colour: (Lth, K:) or a certain bird that is found in the trees called عِضَاه, and the colour of which is between blackness and whiteness, having six قَوَادِم [or primary feathers], three on each side, heavy in the rump, that makes a noise with its wings when it flies, and assumes various colours: (IKh:) a certain variegated bird. (TA in art. ابو.) b2: .) b3: [Hence,] هُوَ أَبُو بَرَاقِشَ (assumed tropical:) He is varying, or variable, in dispositions. (A, TA.) الجَارُ البَرَاقِشِيُّ The neighbour that is variable in his actions; like الجَارُ اليَرْبُوعِىىُّ. (IAar Ta in art. جور.]

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.)

برثن

بُرْثُنٌ, of the lion, (Az, T,) and of any animal of prey, (Az, As, T, S, M, K,) and of birds, (As, S,) [The toe; i. e.] what corresponds to the إِصْبَع of a man; (Az, As, T, S, M, K;) [in the Lex. of Golius, as on the authority of the S, and in that of Freytag, idem quod انملة in homine; but this is a mistake, app. occasioned by a mistranscription in a copy of the S;] and the مِخْلَب is its claw, i. e., nail: (Az, As, T, S:) or the paw (كَفّ), (M, K,) altogether, (M,) with the أَصَابِع [or toes]: (M, K:) or the claw, i. e. nail, of the lion, (Lth, T, M, K,) likened to the instrument for perforating leather; (Lth, T;) and of [all] animals of prey, and of birds that do not prey, corresponding to the ظُفْر of man: Th says, of man, it is [termed] the ظُفْر; of animals having the kind of foot called خُفّ, the مَنْسِمْ; of solidhoofed animals, the حَافِر; of cloven-hoofed animals, the ظِلْف; of beasts and birds of prey, the مِخْلَب; and of birds that do not prey, and of dogs and the like, the بُرْثُن; though it may be also used [in like manner] of all animals of prey: (Msb:) [but properly] it is of birds that do not prey, as the crow-kind, and the pigeon; (M;) and sometimes, of the [lizard called] ضَبّ, (S, M,) and of the rat, or mouse, and of the jerboa: (M:) and is, in the pl. form, (M, TA,) which is بَرَاثِنُ, (T, S, M, TA,) metaphorically applied, by Sá'ideh Ibn-Jueiyeh, to the fingers of a man gathering honey [deposited by wild bees in a hollow of a rock]. (M, * TA.) b2: بُرْثُنُ الأَسَدِ also signifies (assumed tropical:) A certain brand, or mark made with a hot iron, upon camels, (K, TA,) in the form of the claw of the lion. (TA.) b3: This, also, is the name of a sword of Marthad Ibn-'Alas. (K.) b4: [بُرْثُنَةٌ seems to signify the same as بُرْثُنٌ or بَرَاثِنُ: for] Temeem are termed in a trad. the بُرْثُمَة and بُرْجُمَة of the tribes of Mudar; and El-Khattábee says that it should be the بُرْثُنَة, i. e. (assumed tropical:) [The claw, or] the claws; meaning thereby their impetuous valour, and strength: but برثمة may be a dial. var. of برثنة, or the م may be substituted for the ن for the purpose of assimilation [to برجمة]. (TA.)

با

بَا and بَآءٌ: see the letter ب, and arts. بوأ and بى بأ

R. Q. 1 بَأْبَأَهُ, (Lth, T, S, M, K,) and بأبأ بِهِ, (Fr, M, K,) inf. n. بَأْبَآَةُ (Lth, T, M) and بَئْبَآءٌ; (Fr, M;) [as also بأَبِى; see art. بِأَبِى أَنْتَ;] He said to him, بِأَبِي, (Fr, M,) or بأَبَا, (M,) or بِأَبِى أَنْتَ, (Lth, T, K,) [all meaning With my father mayest thou be ransomed! or] meaning أَفْدِيكَ بِأَبِى [I will ransom thee with my father]; (Lth, T;) or he said to him, بِأَبِى أَنْتَ وَأُمِّى [With my father mayest thou be ransomed, and with my mother! or I will ransom thee &c.; see art. ابو]; (S;) the current phrase of the Arabs being that which includes both parents: (TA:) i. e., a man said so to another man, (Lth, T, M,) or to a child; (Fr, S, M;) and in like manner to his horse, for having saved him from some accident: (IAar, T:) the verb is derived from بِأَبِى. (Lth, T, M.) Hence البِأَبْ, in an ex. cited voce أَبٌ, in art. ابو, q. v.; (M;) or البِئَبْ; (TA in art. ابو;) or البِيَبْ. (S in that art.) b2: And [hence,] بَأبَؤُوهُ They made a show of treating him with graciousness, courtesy, or blandishment; as also عَلَيْهِ ↓ تَبَأْبَؤُوا. (M.) b3: [Hence also,] ↓ بَأْبَآءٌ, with medd, [used as an inf. n.,] A woman's dandling, or dancing, of her child. (AA, T.) A2: بَأْبَأَ also signifies He (a child) said ↓ بَأْبَأْ (M, K) [in some copies of the K written بَابَا, both meaning Papa, or Father,] to his father. (M.) [Accord. to the TA, the verb is trans. in this sense, as in the senses before explained; but I think that بَأْبَأَهُ has been there erroneously put for بَأْبَأَ.] b2: And He (a stallion [meaning a stallion-camel]) reiterated the sound of the letter ب [or b] in his braying. (M.) b3: [And hence, perhaps,] ↓ بَأْبَأٌ [or, more probably, ↓ بَأْبَآءٌ, with medd, agreeably with analogy, used as an inf. n.,] The chiding of the cat, or act of chiding the cat; (AA, T, Sgh;) also termed غَسٌّ. (AA, T.) A3: Also He hastened, made haste, or sped: and ↓ تَبَأْبَأْنَا we hastened, &c.: (marginal note in a copy of the S:) or ↓ تَبَأْبَأَ signifies he ran. (ElUmawee, T, K.) R. Q. 2 see above, in three places.

بَأْبأْ and بَأْبَأٌ: see R. Q. 1, in two places.

بُؤْبُؤٌ The source, origin, race, root, or stock, syn. أَصْلٌ, (AA, Sh, T, S, M, K,) of a man, (Sh, T,) whether noble or base. (AA, T.) You say, هُوَ كَرِيمُ البُؤْبُؤِ He is of generous, or noble, origin; lit., generous, or noble, of origin. (TK.) And فُلَانٌ فِىبُؤْبُؤِ الكَرَمِ Such a one is of [a race] the source (أَصْل) of generosity, or nobleness. (S. [In the PS, من is here put in the place of فى: but فى is often used in phrases of the same kind and meaning as that above, in the sense of مِنْ.]) IKh cites from Jereer, فِى يُؤْبُؤِ المَجْدِ وَبُحْبُوحِ الكَرَمْ [Of a race the source of glory, and the very heart of generosity, or nobleness]: but Aboo-'Alee El-Kálee quotes the words thus; فِى ضِئْضِئِ المَجْدِ وَ بُؤْبُوْءِ الكَرَمْ [which may be rendered, of a race the source of glory, and the very root of generosity]; whence it appears that بُؤْبُوءٌ is a dial. var. of بُؤْبُؤٌ in the sense here given. (TA.) b2: The middle of a thing; (K;) [and app. the heart, or very heart, thereof; the middle as being the best part of a thing;] like بُحْبُوحٌ. (TA.) b3: [Hence, perhaps,] The pupil, or apple, or the image that is seen reflected in the black, (عَيْر AA, T, or إِنْسَان K,) of the eye. (AA, T, K.) Whence the saying, هُوَ أَعَزُّ عَلَىِّ مِنْ بُؤْبُؤِ عَيْنِى [He is dearer to me than the apple of my eye; a saying common in the present day, with the substitution of إِنْسَان for بُؤْبُؤ]. (TA.) b4: A generous, or noble, (ISk, T,) or a clever, an ingenious, or an accomplished, or a well-bred, or an elegant, (M, K,) and a light, an active, or a sprightly, (M,) lord, master, chief, or personage: (ISk, T, M, K:) fem. with ة. (IKh, TA.) b5: Also, (AA, T, S, * [but I find it only in one of three copies of the S,]) or ↓ بُؤْبُؤْءٌ, and ↓ بَأْبَآءٌ, (K,) the last from the M, (TA, [but it is not in the M as transcribed in the TT,]) A learned man (AA, T, S, K) who teaches; (AA, T;) but the teaching of others is not a condition required in the application of the epithet; (TA;) like سَرْسُورٌ. (S [in which this last word is evidently given as a syn.: but in the K it is given to show the form, only, of بُؤْبُوْءٌ].) b6: Also The body of a locust, (K,) without the head and legs. (TA.) b7: And, accord. to the K, The head, or uppermost part, of a vessel in which [the collyrium called] كُحْل is kept: but it will appear, in art. يأ, that this is [perhaps] a mistranscription for يُؤْيُؤٌ. (TA.) بَأْبَآءٌ: see R. Q. 1, in two places: A2: and see بُؤْبُؤٌ.

بُؤْبُوءٌ: see بُؤْبُؤٌ, in two places.

درهم

Q. 1 دَرْهَمَتْ, said of the خُبَازَى [or mallow], (K, TA,) It became round [in its leaves]; (TA;) its leaves became like [the silver coins called]

دَرَاهِم. (K.) Q. 4 اِدْرَهَمَّ, (S, K,) inf. n. اِدْرِهْمَامٌ, (S,) He (a man, TA) became aged: (K, TA:) or he (an old man) tottered (سَقَطَ) by reason of age. (S, TA.) b2: ادرهمّ بَصَرَهُ His sight became dim, or obscure. (K.) دِرْهَمٌ, (S, Mgh, Msb, K,) of the measure فِعْلَلٌ, (Msb, MF,) of which it has been said that there are only three other instances, but there are many more; (MF;) an arabicized word, (S, Msb,) from the Pers\. [دِرَمْ]; (S;) also pronounced ↓ دِرْهِمٌ, (S, Msb, K,) but this is of rare occurrence; (TA;) and ↓ دِرْهَامٌ, (S, K,) which is more rare; (TA;) A certain silver coin; (Mgh, Msb;) like as دِينَارٌ signifies a certain gold coin: (Mgh:) [and the weight thereof; i. e. a drachm, or dram:] its weight is six دَوَانِيق [or dániks]; (Msb, and K in art. مك;) i. e., the weight of the دِرْهَم إِسْلَامِىّ: but in the Time of Ignorance, some dirhems were light, being four دوانيق; and these were called طَبَرِيَّةٌ: and some were heavy, being eight دوانيق; and these were called عَبْدِيَّةٌ, or بَغْلِيَّةٌ: and of these two they made two that were equal; so that each درهم was six دوانيق: this is said to have been done by 'Omar: or, accord. to another account, some dirhems were of the weight of twenty carats, and were called the weight of ten [i. e. of ten dániks]; and some were of the weight of ten [carats], and were called the weight of five; and some were of the weight of twelve [carats], and were called the weight of six; and they put the three weights together, and called the third part thereof the weight of seven: and one of the weights of the درهم before El-Islám was twelve carats, which is six دوانيق: but the درهم اسلامىّ is sixteen carats; the دانق of this being a carat and two thirds: (Msb:) or dirhems should be fourteen carats [i. e. seven dániks]; ten being of the weight of seven مَثَاقِيل [or mithkáls]: in the Time of Ignorance, some were heavy, [equal to] مثاقيل; and some were light, [called]

طَبَرِيَّةٌ; and when they were coined in the age of El-Islám, they made of the heavy and the light two dirhems, so that ten became equal to seven مثاقيل: A 'Obeyd says that this was done in the time [of the dynasty] of the sons of Umeiyeh: (El-Karkhee, cited in the Mgh:) [see also De Sacy's “ Chrest. Arabe,” sec. ed., vol. ii. p. 110 of the Arabic text, and p. 282 of the transl.; where it is further stated, on the authority of Ibn-Khaldoon, that the دِرْهَم مَغْرِبِىّ was three دوانيق; and the يَمَنِىّ, one دانق; and, as is said in the Msb, that 'Omar adopted the mean between the بغلىّ and the طبرىّ, making the درهم to be six:] the pl. (of درهم, S) is دَرَاهِمُ and (of درهام, S) دَرَاهِيمُ. (S, K.) [The former of these pls. is often used as signifying Money, cash, or coin, in an absolute sense.] The dim. is ↓ دُرَيْهِمٌ and ↓ دُرَيْهِيمٌ: the latter held by Sb to be anomalous; for he says that it is as though it were formed from دِرْهَامٌ, though this was not used by them. (TA.) b2: Hence, as being likened thereto, [i. e., to the coin thus called,] (TA,) دِرْهَمٌ signifies also (assumed tropical:) A حَدِيقَة [app. as meaning a round piece of land surrounded by a fence or the like, or by elevated land; for this is one of the significations of حَدِيقَةٌ]. (K.) [It is said that] this is taken from the saying of 'Antarah, [describing shower of copious rain,] فَتَرَكْنَ كُلَّ حَدِيقَةٍ كَالدِّرْهَمِ [So that they left every ridged-round spot of ground like the درهم]. (TA.) [But accord. to one reading, he said, كُلَّ قَرَارَةٍ; meaning, as is said in the EM, p. 227, “every round hollow; ” and likening such a hollow to the درهم because of its roundness, and the clearness and whiteness of its water.]

دِرْهِمٌ: see the next preceding paragraph.

دِرْهَامٌ: see the next preceding paragraph.

دُرَيْهِمٌ: see the next preceding paragraph.

دُرَيْهِيمٌ: see the next preceding paragraph.

مُدَرْهَمٌ A man possessing many دَرَاهِم: (Az, K:) it has no verb: (TA:) you should not say دُرْهِمَ. (Az, K.) مُدْرَهِمٌّ An old man tottering (سَاقِطٌ) by reason of age. (S, K.)

زرنق

Q. 1 زَرْنَقَةٌ [as inf. n. of زَرْنَقَ] The irrigating [land] by means of the زُرْنُوق [here app. meaning rivulet]. (Mgh, K.) b2: And The setting up a [pillar-like structure such as is termed] زُرْنُوق by a well. (K.) A2: One says also, زَرْنَقْتُهُ, (K,) inf. n. as above, (TK,) meaning I clad him [app. فِى

الثِّيَابِ in the clothes: see Q. 2]: or زَرْنَقْتُ اللِّبَاسِ

إِيَّاهُ I put the clothing upon him; or clad him therewith. (TK) A3: And لَا يُزَرْنِقُكَ أَحَدٌ عَلَى

فَضْلِ زَيْدٍ [No one will exceed to thee the excel-lence of Zeyd]. (TA. [It is there indicated that this is from زَرْنَقَةٌ as syn. with زِيَادَةٌ.]) A4: [See زَرْنَقَةٌ as a simple subst. below.]Q. 2 تَزَرْنَقَ He drew water by means of the زُرْنُوق, (Mgh, K, TA,) or the زُرْنُوقَانِ, (TA,) for hire. (Mgh, K, TA.) Hence the saying of 'Alee, لَا أَدَعُ الحَجَّ وَلَوْ تَزَرْنَقْتُ, meaning I will not omit, or neglect, the pilgrimage, though I should draw water by means of the زرنوق, or زرنوقان, and perform it with the hire obtained thereby: thus it is explained: another explanation will be found in what follows. (Mgh, TA.) A2: تزرنق فِى الثِّيابِ He clad, and covered, himself in the clothes. (K.) b2: And hence, [it is said,] because implying concealment of the excess [of the price] in the sale, (TA,) تزرنق also signifies تَعَيَّنَ, (Mgh, K, TA, [in the CK, erroneously, تَغَيَّرَ,]) from الزَّرْنَقَةُ meaning العِينَةُ; (Mgh;) i. e. He bought on credit, for an excess [in the amount of the price]. (TK.) And accord. to some, وَلَوْ تَزَرْنَقْتُ, in the saying of 'Alee mentioned above, means وَلَوْ تَعَيَّنْتُ, (Mgh,) i. e. وَلَوْ تَعَيَّنْتُ عِينَةَ الزَّادِ وَالرَّاحِلَةِ [though I should buy on credit, for more than the current price, the travelling-provision and the camel to be ridden]: (TA:) but the former explanation is the more likely. (Mgh.) زَرْنَقَةٌ inf. n. of زَرْنَقَ. (TK. [See Q. 1, above.]) A2: Also i. q. عِينَةٌ; (IAar, JK, Mgh, K;) i. e. The buying of a thing from a man on credit, for more than its [current] price: (JK, Fáïk:) or the doing thus, and then selling it to him, or to another, for less than the price for which it was purchased. (TA.) b2: And Increase, excess, or addition; syn. زِيَادَةٌ. (K.) [For زَرْنَقَةٌ in this and the following senses, Freytag, in his Lex., has written زَرْنَق.] b3: And Debt. (K, TA. [In the CK, الدِّينُ is erroneously put for الدَّيْنُ: and it is there added, “as though arabicized from زَرْنَهْ; i. e. الذَّهَبَ لَبِسَ: ” but what this should be I know not, unless it be a mistranscription for الذَّهَبُ لَيْسَ; for, in Pers\., زَرْ means “ gold,” and نَهْ is a negative.]) A3: Also Perfect, or consummate, beauty. (K.) زُرْنُوقٌ, as some pronounce it, is by others pronounced زَرْنُوقٌ, which is of a strange form, [said to be] of the measure فَعْنُولٌ, (IJ, TA,) mentioned by Kr on the authority of Lh: (TA:) [the dual]

زُرْنُوقَانِ, (S, Mgh, K,) mentioned by J in art. زرق, the ن being regarded by him as augmentative, but by the author of the K as radical, (TA,) also pronounced زَرْنُوقَانِ, (K,) signifies Two pillarlike structures (مَنَارَتَانِ) constructed by the head of a well, (S, Mgh, K,) on the two sides thereof; (K;) or two walls; or two posts; (Mgh;) across which is placed a piece of wood, (S, Mgh,) called the نَعَامَة; (S;) and to this is suspended the pulley by means of which the water is drawn: (S, Mgh:) or two structures like the signs set up to show the way, by the brink of a well, of clay or of stones: (TA:) accord. to the S, (TA,) if of wood, they are called دِعَامَتَان: or, as El-Kilábee says, if of wood, they are called نَعَامَتَانِ, and the crosspiece is called the عَجَلَة, and to this the large bucket is suspended: (S, TA:) pl. زَرَانِيقُ. (TA.) b2: زُرْنُوقٌ also signifies A rivulet; (Sh, Mgh, K;) app. a rivulet in which runs the water that is drawn by means of the زرنوق. (Sh, Mgh,* TA.) زِرْنِيقٌ i. q. زِرْنِيخٌ [i. e. Arsenic]; an arabicized word; (K;) as is also the latter [q. v.]. (TA.) مُزَرْنِقٌ A setter-up of what are termed زَرْنُوقَانِ. (TA.)
