(AHeyth, TA.) 6 تشابرا They (two bodies of men, S) drew near, each to the other: (S, K:) as though they became a span (شِبْر) distant, one from the other; or as though each extended the span to the other. (S.) شَبْرٌ The measure [of the width (see ذِرَاعٌ)], by the span, of a garment, or piece of cloth: so in the saying, كَمْ شَبْرُ ثَوْبِكَ [How much is the measure of the width, by the span, of thy garment, or piece of cloth?].

(TA.) b2: [As a measure in astronomy, it is said in several of the law-books to be The twelfth part of the رُمْح; and therefore twentytwo minutes and a half, accord. to modern usage: but there is reason to believe that ancient usage differed from the modern with respect to both of these measures, and was not precise nor uniform. See رُمْحٌ.] b3: قِبَالُ الــشِّبْرِ (assumed tropical:) The serpent: (IAar, K:) and so قِبَالُ الشِّسْعِ. (IAar, TA.) b4: See also شَبْرٌ, in two places.

(TA.) b2: Also A certain thing which the Christians give, one to another, (يَتَعَاطَاهُ النَّصَارَى, K, TA, َبعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْض ٍ, TA,) like the قُرْبَان [or Eucharist], (K, TA,) seeking to ingratiate themselves thereby: (TA:) or the Eucharist (قُرْبَان) itself: (K:) or a thing which the Christians give (تُعْطِيهِ), one to another, as though seeking to ingratiate themselves thereby: (Kh, Sgh, TA:) or (TA, in the K “and”) bodies: and powers, or faculties: (K, TA:) or (TA, in the K “and”) the Gospel.

شَبُّورٌ A trumpet; syn. بُوقٌ; (S, K;) a certain thing in which one blows: (Mgh:) said to be an arabicized word; (S;) not genuine Arabic: (Mgh, TA:) accord. to IAth, it is Hebrew: (TA:) [app. from the Hebr.

شرب

1 شَرِبَ, (S, A, K, &c.,) aor. ـَ (A, K,) inf. n. شُرْبٌ and شَرْبٌ (S, A, Msb, K, &c.) and شِرْبٌ, (S, A, K,) agreeably with three different readings of the Kur lvi. 55, (S, TA,) the first of which (with damm) is that generally obtaining, (Fr, TA,) and is the only one admitted by Jaafar Ibn-Mohammad, notwithstanding which the second form (with fet-h) is said by MF to be the most chaste as well as the most agreeable with analogy, (TA,) or the second (with fet-h) is an inf. n., and the first is a simple subst., (AO, S, Msb, K,) and so is the third, (AO, S, K,) and مَشْرَبٌ, (S, K,) which is also a n. of place [and of time], (S,) and تَشْرَابٌ, (S K, TA,) a form used when muchness of the act is meant, (TA,) and تِشْرَابٌ, which is anomalous, (TA voce بَيَّنَ, q. v.,) He drank, (KL, PS, TK,) or he swallowed, syn. جَرِعَ, (A, K, [but the former meaning is evidently intended by this explanation, and such I shall assume to be the case in giving the explanations of the derivatives in the A and K. &c.,]) water, &c., (S,) or a liquid, properly by sucking in, or sipping; and otherwise tropically; (Msb;) [generally, gulping it; for] you say, شَرِبَ المَآءَ فِى كَرَّةٍ [He drank the water at once, or at a single draught]; and فِى ↓ تشرّبهُ مُهْلَةٍ [He drank it leisurely, or gently, or slowly]: (Mgh:) شُرْبٌ signifies the conveying to one's inside, by means of his mouth, that in the case of which chewing is not practicable: (KT:) [but] Es-Sarakustee says, one does not say of a bird شَرِبَ المَآءَ, but حَسَاهُ. (Msb.) In the saying of Aboo-Dhu-eyb, describing clouds, شَرِبْنَ بِمَآءِ البَحْرِ ثُمَّ تَرَفَّعَتْ [which is evidently best rendered They drank of the water of the sea, then rose aloft, agreeably with what has been stated respecting بِ in the sense of مِنْ in p. 143, it is said that] the ب is redundant, or, as رَوِينَ is rendered trans. by means of بِ, [though I do not think that this is the case unless بِ be used as meaning “ by means of,” and I do not remember to have met with an instance of it,] شَرِبْنَ is thus rendered trans. (TA.) [See a similar ex. in the 28th verse of the Mo'allakah of 'Antarah, EM p. 232. One says also, شَرِبَ فِى إِنَآءٍ, meaning He drank out of a vessel; agreeably with an explanation of مِشْرَبَةٌ, in the S and K, as meaning إِنَآءٌ يُشْرَبُ فِيهِ.] and one says, إِنِّى لَأَمْكُثُ اليَوْمَيْنِ مَا أَشْرَبُهُمَا مَآءً, meaning مَا أَشْرَبُ فِيهِمَا مَآءً [i. e. Verily I tarry the two days not drinking in them water]. (O.) b2: [شَرِبَ الدَّوَآءَ, in the conventional language of the physicians, as is indicated in the Mgh, voce بَنْجٌ (q. v.), on the phrase شَرِبَ البَنْجَ, and as is shown in many instances in the K &c., means He took, i. e. swallowed, the medicine, whether fluid or solid. b3: And in the present day, they say, شَرِبَ الدُّخَانَ, meaning He inhaled, properly imbibed, smoke of tobacco; or he smoked tobacco, or the tobacco.] b4: One says of seed-produce, or corn, when its culms have come forth, قَدْ شَرِبَ الزَّرْعُ فِى القَصَبِ (assumed tropical:) [The seed-produce, or corn, has imbibed into the culms]: (O, TA:) and when the sap (المَآء) has come into it, شَرِبَ قَصَبُ الزَّرْعِ (assumed tropical:) [The culms of the seed-produce, or corn, have imbibed]. (TA.) And one says, شَرِبَ السُّنْبُلُ الدَّقِيقَ (tropical:) [The ears of corn imbibed the farina; or] became pervaded by the farina; (En-Nadr, A, O;) or had in them the alimentary substance; as though the farina were water which they drank. (TA.) And وَقَدْ شَرِبَ الزَّرْعُ الدَّقِيقَ, occurring in the story of Ohod, (O, TA,) as some relate it, or ↓ شُرِّبَ as others relate it, means (tropical:) [And the seed-produce, or corn, had imbibed, or had been made to imbibe, the farina, or] had become hardened in its grain, and near to maturity. (TA.) [And ↓ أُشْرِبَ means the same: for one says,] أُشْرِبَ الزَّرْعُ (tropical:) [The seed-produce, or corn, was made to imbibe the farina; or] became pervaded by the farina: and in like manner, أُشْرِبَ الزَّرْعُ الدَّقِيقَ, i. e. (tropical:) [The seed-produce, or corn, was made to imbibe the farina, or] its alimentary substance. (TA.) b5: One also says, أَكَلَ غَنَمِى وَشَرِبَهَا (tropical:) [He ate the flesh of my sheep, or goats, and drank the milk of them]. (TA in art. اكل.) And [in like manner] أَكَلَ فُلَانٌ مَالِى

وَشَرِبَهُ (tropical:) [Such a one fed upon, devoured, or consumed, my property]. (A.) And أَكَلَ عَلَيْهِ الدَّهْرُ وَشَرِبَ (tropical:) [Time wasted him, or wore him away; as though it fed upon him]. (A.) b6: And مَا لَمْ ↓ أَشْرَبْتَنِى

أَشْرَبْ [lit. Thou hast made me to drink what I have not drunk,] meaning (tropical:) thou hast charged against me, or accused me of doing, what I have not done; (S, A, K;) like أَكَّلْتَنِى مَا لَمْ آكُلْ. (S in art. اكل.) b7: شَرِبَ also signifies He was, or became, satisfied with drinking: (TA:) and in like manner شَرِبَت is said of camels. (A 'Obeyd, S, TA.) And He was, or became, thirsty; (K, TA;) thus having two contr. significations; (TA;) as also ↓ أَشْرَبَ. (K, TA.) b8: Also, and ↓ أَشْرَبَ, His camels were, or became, satisfied with drinking: and, i. e. both these verbs, his camels were, or became, thirsty: (K, TA:) or the former verb signifies, or signifies also, (accord. to different copies of the K,) his camel was, or became, weak. (K, TA.) A2: شَرِبَ بِهِ, and بِهِ ↓ أَشْرَبَ, He lied against him. (K.) A3: شَرَبَ, aor. ـُ (O, K, TA,) inf. n. شَرْبٌ, (O, TA,) He understood: (O, K, TA:) on the authority of AA. (TA.) [In a copy of the A, the verb in this sense is written شَرِبَ; and app. not through the fault of the transcriber, for it is there mentioned as tropical: but in the O, it is said to be like كَتَبَ, aor. ـُ inf. n. كَتْبٌ; and in the K, to be like نَصَرَ.] One says, شَرَبَ مَا أُلْقِىَ إِلَيْهِ, i. e. He understood [what was told to him]. (TA.) And one says to a stupid person, اُحْلُبْ ثُمَّ اشْرُبْ Kneel thou; then understand. (O, TA. See also 1 in art. حلب.) 2 شَرَّبَ [شرّبهُ, inf. n. تَشْرِيبٌ, He made him to drink water &c.; and so, as is indicated in the S and K &c., and as is well known, ↓ أَشْرَبَهُ: and] شَرَّبْتُ المَآءَ I gave to drink the water; as also ↓ أَشْرَبْتُهُ. (TA.) b2: [Hence,] one says, ظَلَّ مَالِى يُؤَكَّلُ وَيُشَرَّبُ [lit. My cattle passed the day made to eat and made to drink,] i. e. (assumed tropical:) pasturing as they pleased. (S, TA.) And شَرَّبَ مَالِى وَأَكَّلَهُ [lit. He made people to drink my property, and made them to eat it; or to drink the milk of my cattle, and to eat the flesh thereof;] i. e. (assumed tropical:) he fed people, (S,) or gave people to drink and to eat, (TA,) [of] my property, or cattle. (S, TA.) b3: and شرّب الأَرْضَ وَالنَّخْلَ (assumed tropical:) He gave drink to the land and the palm-trees. (TA.) b4: And شرّب لُقْمَةً

بِالدَّسَمِ (assumed tropical:) [He imbued, or soaked, a morsel, or mouthful, with grease, or gravy]. (TA in art. روغ.) b5: And شَرَّبْتُ القِرْبَةَ, (A 'Obeyd, S,) inf. n. تَشْرِيبٌ, (A 'Obeyd, K,) (assumed tropical:) I rendered the water-skin sweet; (K;) I put into the water-skin, it being new, clay and water, in order to render its savour sweet. (A 'Obeyd, S.) b6: And شُرِّبَ الزَّرْعُ الدَّقِيقَ: see 1, in the latter half of the paragraph.3 شاربهُ, (S, A, K, TA,) inf. n. مُشَارَبَةٌ and شِرَابٌ, He drank with him; namely, a man. (TA.) b2: [And He watered his camels, &c. with his, i. e. with another's : or he drew water with him for the watering of camels &c.:] see an ex. of the latter inf. n. in a verse cited voce شَرِيبٌ.4 أَشْرَبَ see 2, in two places. One says, أَشْرَبْتُ الإِبِلَ حَتَّى شَرِبَتْ [I made the camels to drink until they were satisfied with drinking; or I watered the camels, or gave them to drink, &c.]; (S, TA;) [for] أَشْرَبَ is syn. with سَقَى. (K.) b2: [Hence,] الثَّوْبُ يُشْرَبُ الصٍّبْغَ: see 5. And أُشْرِبَ الثَّوْبُ حُمْرَةً (tropical:) The garment, or piece of cloth, was imbued, or saturated, with redness.

(TA.) and أُشْرِبَ الأَبْيَضُ حُمْرَةً (assumed tropical:) The white was suffused, or tinged over, with redness. (S, TA.) b3: [Hence, أُشْرِبَ is also said of a sound, as meaning (assumed tropical:) It was mixed with another sound; as appears from the words here following:] حِسُّ الصَّوْتِ فِى الفَمِ مِمَّا لَا إِشْرَابَ لَهُ مِنْ صَوْتِ الصَّدْرِ (assumed tropical:) [The faint, or gentle, sound of the voice in the mouth, of such kind as has no mixture of the voice of the chest]. (K in art. همس.) b4: [Hence also,] أُشْرِبَ الزَّرْعُ: see 1, latter half. b5: And أُشْرِبَ فِى قَلْبِهِ حُبَّهُ, (S,) or أُشْرِبَ حُبَّ فُلَانٍ, (K,) or حُبَّ فُلَانَةَ, (A,) (tropical:) [He was made to imbibe into his heart the love of him, or of such a man, or of such a female;] meaning that the love of him, or of her, pervaded, or commingled with, his heart, (S, A, K, TA,) like beverage. (TA.) Whence, in the Kur [ii. 87], وَأُشْرِبُوا فِى قُلُوبِهِمُ الْعِجْلَ, for حُبَّ العِجْلِ, (S, TA,) i. e. (assumed tropical:) And they were made to imbibe [into their hearts] the love of the calf.. (Zj, TA.) b6: And رَفَعَ يَدَهُ فَأَشْرَبَهَا الهَوَآءَ ثُمَّ قَالَ بِهَا عَلَى قَذَالِهِ (tropical:) [He raised his hand, and made the air to swallow it up, (i. e. raised it so high and so quickly that it became hardly seen,) then gave a blow with it upon the back of his head]. (A, TA.) b7: And أَشْرَبْتَنِى مَا لَمْ أَشْرَبْ: see 1, latter half. b8: And one says to his she-camel, لَأُشْرِبَنَّكِ الحِبَالَ (tropical:) [I will assuredly put upon thee the ropes, or cords], and العِقَالَ [the cord, or rope, with which the fore shank and the arm are bound together]. (A.) [Or] اشربهُ means (tropical:) He put the rope, or cord, upon his neck; namely, a man's, (K, TA,) and a camel's, and a horse's or the like: (TA:) and اشرب الخَيْلَ he put the ropes, or cords, upon the necks of the horses. (K,) and اشرب إِبِلَهُ (tropical:) He tied his camels, every one to another. (K, TA.) A2: اشرب as an intrans. verb: see 1, last quarter, in two places. b2: Also He (a man, TA) attained to the time for the drinking of his camels. (K, * TA.) A3: اشرب بِهِ: see 1, near the end of the paragraph.5 تَشَرَّبَ see 1, first sentence. b2: Hence one says, (Mgh,) تشرّب الثَّوْبُ العَرَقَ, (S, Mgh, * K,) and الصِّبْغَ, (A, Mgh, L,) (tropical:) The garment, or piece of cloth, imbibed, or absorbed, (S, A, Mgh, * L, K,) the sweat, (S, Mgh, K,) and the dye; (A, Mgh, L;) as though it drank it by little and little: (Mgh:) and [in like manner] one says, الثَّوْبُ يشرب الصِّبْغَ [app. ↓ يُشْرَبُ, (like as one says يُشْرَبُ حُمْرَةً, as shown in the next preceding paragraph,) meaning (assumed tropical:) The garment, or piece of cloth, is made to imbibe, or absorb, the dye]. (TA.) [It is said that] the verb is not used intransitively in the [proper] language of the Arabs. (Mgh.) [But] one says, تشرّب الصِّبْغُ فِى الثَّوْبِ, meaning (tropical:) The dye pervaded the garment, or piece of cloth: (K, * TA:) and الصِّبْغُ يَتَشَرَّبُ الثَّوْبَ (tropical:) [The dye pervades the garment, or piece of cloth]. (TA.) [See also the explanation of a verse cited voce تَسَقَّى.]10 استشرب لَوْنُهُ (assumed tropical:) His, or its, colour became intense. (K.) And استشربت القَوْسُ حُمْرَةً (assumed tropical:) The bow became intensely red: such is the case when it is made of the [tree called] شَرْيَان. (AHn, (TA.) 11 اِشْرَابَّ: see 4, near the beginning.

152:) or he raised, or exalted, himself. (K, * TA.) يَشْرَئِبُّونَ لِصَوْتِهِ, occurring in a trad., means (tropical:) They will raise their heads at his voice to look at him. (TA.) And اِشْرَأَبَّ النِّفَاقُ وَارْتَدَّتِ العَرَبُ, in another trad., means (tropical:) Hypocrisy exalted itself [and the Arabs apostatized, or revolted from their religion]. (TA.) شَرْبٌ an inf. n. of شَرِبَ [q. v.]. (S, A, Msb, K, &c.) A2: And a pl., (S, Msb,) or [rather] a quasipl. n., (ISd, TA,) of شَارِبٌ, q. v. (S, ISd, Msb, TA.) A3: [Golius assigns to it also the meaning of “ Linum tenue,” as on the authority of Meyd.]

شُرْبٌ an inf. n. of شَرِبَ [q. v.]; (S, A, Msb, K, &c.;) like ↓ شِرْبٌ: (S, A, K:) or a simple subst. [signifying The act of drinking]; (AO, S Msb, K;) as also ↓ شِرْبٌ. (AO, S, K.) A2: In the phrase أَخُوكَ شُرْبٌ it is used as [an epithet,] meaning ذُو شُرْبٍ [which may be regarded as virtually syn. with شَارِبٌ or as similar to this latter but intensive in signification]. (Ham p. 194.) شِرْبٌ: see the next preceding paragraph, in two places. b2: Also Water, (K, TA,) itself; so some say; (TA;) as also ↓ مِشْرَبٌ, (K, accord. to the TA,) with kesr, (TA,) or ↓ مَشْرَبٌ, (so in the CK and in my MS. copy of the K,) i. e. water that one drinks; so says Az: pl. of the former أَشْرَابٌ. (TA.) [See also شَرَابٌ.] b3: [And A draught of milk: see an ex. in a verse cited in art. سلف, conj. 4.] b4: And A share, or portion that falls to one's lot, of water: (S, Mgh, Msb, K:) or so شِرْبٌ مِنْ مَآءٍ. (ISk, TA.) It is said in a prov., آخِرُهَا أَقَلُّهَا شِرْبًا [The last of them is the one of them that has the least share of water]: originating from the watering of camels; because the last of them sometimes comes to the water when the watering-trough has been exhausted. (S. [See also Freytag's Arab. Prov. i. 61.]) b5: As a law-term, it means The use of water [or the right to use it] for the watering of sown-fields and of beasts. (Mgh.) b6: Also A wateringplace; syn. مَوْرِدٌ: (Az, K:) pl. as above. (TA.) b7: And (assumed tropical:) A time of drinking: (K:) but they say that it denotes the time only by a sort of tropical application; and they differ respecting the connexion of this meaning with the proper meaning. (MF, TA.) شَرَبٌ: see شَرَبَةٌ, in two places.

شَرْبَةٌ A single act of drinking. (S.) b2: and A single draught, or the quantity that is drunk at once, of water. (S.) It is said in a prov., نِعْمَ مِعْلَقُ الشَّرْبَةِ هٰذَا [Excellent, or most excellent, is the traveller's drinking-cup, or bowl, that will hold a single draught, namely, this!]: the مِعْلَق is said by As to be a drinking-cup or bowl which the rider upon a camel suspends [to his saddle]: (Meyd:) it is said in describing a camel: (TA:) and it means that, to the place of alighting to which he desires to go, he is content with a single draught, not wanting another: (Meyd, TA:) the prov. is applied to him who, in his affairs, is content with his own opinion, not wanting that of another person. (Meyd.) شَرْبَةُ أَبِى الجَهْمِ [The draught of Abu-l-Jahm] is said of a thing that is sweet, or pleasant, but in its result unwholesome: (MF, TA:) Abu-l-Jahm was a frequent visiter of the Khaleefeh El-Mansoor El-'Abbásee, who, finding him troublesome, ordered that a poisoned draught should be given to him, in his presence: which having been done, Abu-l-Jahm, pained by the draught, rose to depart; and being asked by the Khaleefeh whither he was going, he answered, Whither thou hast sent me, O Prince of the Faithful. (MF.) b3: In the Mo'allakah of Tarafeh, it is applied to A draught of wine. (EM p. 87.) b4: [In the conventional language of the physicians, it is a term applied to A dose of medicine, such as is drunk and also such as is eaten.]

A2: Also A palm-tree that grows from the date stone: (K:) pl. شَرَبَاتٌ. (TA. [It seems to be there added that شَرَائِبُ and شَرَابِيبُ are also its pls.: the former may be like ضَرَائِرُ pl. of ضَرَّةٌ: the latter is app. a mistranscription, and should perhaps be شَرَائِيبُ, for شَرَائِبُ; like مَحَامِيرُ for مَحَامِرُ, &c.]) شُرْبَةٌ, (K,) or شُرْبَةٌ مِنْ مَآءٍ, (S,) The quantity of water that satisfies thirst. (S, K.) b2: شُرْبَةٌ is also syn. with ↓ إِشْرَابٌ [originally an inf. n.] meaning (assumed tropical:) A colour tinged over with another colour; as in the saying, فِيهِ شُرْبَةٌ مِنْ حُمْرَةٍ (assumed tropical:) [In him is a colour tinged with redness]: (S, TA:) [and] (tropical:) somewhat of redness; as in the phrase, فِيهِ شُرْبَةٌ (tropical:) [In him is somewhat of redness]: (A:) or (assumed tropical:) a redness in the face: (K:) or (assumed tropical:) whiteness mixed with redness.

شَرَبَاتٌ. (S.) b2: And i. q. كُرْدُ دَبْرَةٍ, (K, TA,) which is syn. with مَسْقَاةٌ: (TA:) [from a comparison of the explanations of all of these words, it seems to mean A channel of water for the irrigation of a plot, or tract, of sown land: or, if the explanation مسقاة, in the TA, be conjectural, the meaning may be a portion of such land, having a raised border to retain the water admitted upon it:] pl. شَرَبَاتٌ and [coll. gen. n.] ↓ شَرَبٌ [as above]. (TA.) A4: Also Thirst. (Lh, T, O, K.) One says, لَمْ تَزَلْ بِهِ شَرَبَةٌ اليَوْمَ He has not ceased to have thirst to-day. (Lh, TA.) And جَآءَتِ الإِبِلُ وَبِهَا شَرَبَةٌ The camels came thirsty.

One says, مَا زَالَ فُلَانٌ عَلَى شَرَبَّةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ Such a one ceased not to be [employed] upon one affair. (S, O.) A2: And A tract of land, (K, TA,) soft, or plain, (TA,) producing herbs, but having in it no trees. (K, TA.) b2: [And] The side of a valley. (Mgh.) شَرَابٌ A beverage, or drink, (Mgh, L, Msb, K,) of any of the liquids, (Mgh, Msb,) or of anything that is not chewed, (L,) or of whatever kind and in whatever state it be; thus in a copy of the K: (TA:) and syn. with شَرَابٌ are ↓ شَرِيبٌ and ↓ شَرُوبٌ, (K,) accord. to a saying attributed to Az: (TA:) or these two have another meaning, expl. in the next paragraph: (K:) the pl. of شَرَابٌ is أَشْرِبَةٌ; (Mgh, TA;) or it has no pl., as is said in the K in art. نهر [accord. to one or more of the copies; but see نَهَارٌ, where it is shown that in copies of the K, as well as in the S, the word to which this statement relates is سَرَابٌ, with the unpointed س]. (TA.) The lawyers [and generally the post-classical writers, and sometimes others,] mean thereby [Win, and] such beverage as is forbidden. (Mgh.) [Also Sirup: pl. شَرَابَاتٌ: so in the language of the present day.]

شَرُوبٌ and ↓ شَرِيبٌ are syn. with شَرَابٌ, q. v.: or both signify Water inferior to the عَذْب [or sweet]: (K:) or [brackish water; i. e.] water between the salt and the sweet: (AO, S:) or water drinkable, or fit to be drunk, but in which is disagreeableness: (Msb:) or the former signifies water that has some degree of sweetness, and is sometimes drunk by men notwithstanding what is in it; and ↓ the latter, water inferior to what is sweet, and not drunk by men save in cases of necessity, but sometimes drunk by cattle: (IKtt, TA:) or ↓ the latter, the sweet: and the former is said to signify water that is drunk: (TA:) or ↓ the latter, water that has no sweetness in it, but is sometimes drunk by men notwithstanding what is in it; and the former, water inferior to this in sweetness, and not drunk by men save in cases of necessity: (Az, T, M, TA:) or, accord. to Lth, ↓ شَرِيبٌ and ↓ شِرِّيبٌ signify water in which are bitterness and saltness, but not abstained from as drink: and مَآءٌ شَرُوبٌ and طَعِيمٌ are syn.: and ↓ مَآءٌ مِشْرَبٌ is syn. with شَرُوبٌ: this last word is used alike as masc. and fem. and sing. and pl. (TA.) It is said in a prov., originally in a trad., جُرْعَةُ شَرُوبٍ أَنْفَعُ مِنْ عَذْبٍ مُوبٍ [expl. in art. وبأ]. (TA.) A2: Also, شَرُوبٌ, A man who drinks vehemently. (TA.) See also شُرَبَةٌ: and شِرِّيبٌ. b2: And (assumed tropical:) A she-camel desiring the stallion. (K.) شَرِيبٌ: see شَرَابٌ: and شَرُوبٌ; the latter in five places.

A2: Also One who drinks with another: (S, K:) and one who waters his camels with those of another: of the measure فَعِيلٌ in the sense of the measure مُفَاعِلٌ: (S:) and one who draws water, or is given to drink, with another. (IAar, K.) You say, هُوَ شَرِيِبِى [He is my companion in drinking; or in watering his camels with mine: &c.]. (TA.) And a rájiz says, رُبَّ شَرِيبٍ لَكَ ذِى حُسَاسِ كَالحَزِّ بِالمَوَاسِى ↓ شِرَابُهُ [Many a one who waters his camels with thine, or who draws water with thee for the watering of camels, having an evil disposition, his watering &c. is like the cutting with razors]: i. e., thy waiting for him at the watering-trough is [a cause of] killing to thee and to thy camels. (TA.) شَرِيبَةٌ is expl. in the S as meaning A sheep, or goat, which one drives back, or brings back, from the water, when the sheep, or goats, are satisfied with drinking, and which they follow: but in some of the copies in a marginal note stating that the correct word is سَرِيبَةٌ, with the unpointed س. (TA.) شَرَابِىٌّ A cup-bearer: or a butler: and a seller of wine or of sirup. (MA.) شُرَأْبِيبَةٌ a subst. (K) from اِشْرَأَبَّ [q. v.; as such signifying (tropical:) A raising of the head like the camel that has satisfied his thirst on the occasion of drinking: &c.]: (S, K, TA:) like طُمَأْنِينَةٌ [from اِطْمَأَنَّ]. (K, TA.) شَرَّابٌ: see شُرَبَةٌ: and what here next follows.

شِرِّيبٌ Addicted to شَرَاب [i. e. drink, or wine]; (S, K, TA;) like خِمِّيرٌ; (S;) as also ↓ شَرَّابٌ and ↓ شَرُوبٌ and ↓ شَارِبٌ. (TA.) A2: See also شَرُوبٌ.

شُرَّابَةٌ A tassel: so in the language of the present day: probably post-classical: pl. شَرَارِيبُ.]

شَارِبٌ Drinking, or a drinker: pl. شَارِبُونَ (Msb) and ↓ شَرْبٌ, like as صَحْبٌ is of صَاحِبٌ, (S, Msb,) or, accord. to ISd, (TA,) شَرْبٌ, which signifies people drinking, (K, TA,) and assembling for drinking, is a quasi.-pl. n. of شَارِبٌ, being like رَكْبٌ and رَجْلٌ; and شُرُوبٌ, which is said by IAar [and in the S] to be pl. of شَرْبٌ, is pl. of شَارِبٌ, like as شُهُودٌ is of شَاهِدٌ; (TA;) شَرَبَةٌ also is allowable as a pl. of شَارِبٌ, like as كَفَرَةٌ is pl. of كَافِرٌ; (Msb;) and أَشْرُبٌ is pl. of شَرْبٌ, or it may be an anomalous pl. of شَارِبٌ: (MF:) the pl. شُرُوب occurs in the saying of El-Aashà, هُوَ الوَاهِبُ المُسْمِعَاتِ الشُّرُو بَ بَيْنَ الحَرِيرِ وَبَيْنَ الكَتَنْ

[He is the giver of female singers to the drinkers, some clad in silk and some in linen]. (S.) b2: See also شِرِّيبٌ. b3: [Hence, The mustache; i. e.] the defluent hair over the mouth; (Msb;) or so شَوَارِبُ, (Lh, A, K,) which is the pl., (Lh, S, Msb,) as though the sing, applied to every distinct part: (Lh:) the two [halves] are called شَارِبَانِ: (S, TA:) or, as some say, only the sing. is used, and the dual is a mistake: (TA:) accord. to AHát (Msb, TA) and AAF, (TA,) the dual is is scarcely ever, or never, used; but accord. to AO, the Kilábees say شَارِبَانِ, with regard to the two extremities: (Msb, TA:) and the pl., (A, K,) or, accord. to the T &c., the dual, (TA,) signifies the long portions [of the hair] on the two sides of the سَبَلَة [q. v.]: (T, A, K, TA:) or (K, TA) شَارِبٌ signifies the سَبَلَة altogether, (A, K, TA,) as some say; but this is not correct. (TA.) One says, طَرَّ شَارِبُ الغُلَامِ [The mustache of the boy, or young man, grew forth]. (S.) b4: and hence, as being likened to the two long portions of hair on each side of the سَبَلَة, the شَارِبَانِ of the sword, (T, TA,) i. e. (tropical:) Two long projections (أَنْفَانِ طَوِيلَانِ) at the lower part of the hilt, (A, * K, TA,) [extending from the guard,] one on one side and the other on the other side of the blade, (T, * TA,) the غَاشِيَة [or leathern covering of the scabbard] being beneath them: so says ISh. (TA.) b5: الشَّوَارِبُ also signifies (tropical:) The عُرُوق [or ducts] of the حُلْقُوم [or windpipe]: (A:) or certain ducts (عُرُوق) in the حَلْق [i. e. fauces or throat], (K, TA,) that imbibe the water [or saliva?], being the channels thereof: (TA:) and, (K,) or, as some say, (TA,) the channels of the water [or saliva?] (S, K, TA) in the حَلْق [i. e. fauces or throat] (S) or in the neck: (K, TA:) or certain ducts (عُرُوق) adhering to the windpipe, and the lower parts thereof to the lungs: so says IDrd: or rather, some say, the hinder part thereof [adhering] to the وَتِين [or aor. a], having tubes from which the voice issues, and in which choking takes place, and whence the saliva issues: and those of the horse are said to be [certain ducts] by the side of the أَوْدَاج [or external jugular veins], where the veterinary surgeon draws blood by cutting the اوداج: the sing. seems by implication to be شَارِبٌ. (TA.) Hence the phrase حِمَارٌ صَخِبُ الشَّوَارِبِ (assumed tropical:) An ass that brays vehemently. (S, TA.) And صَخِبُ الشَّوَارِبِ (tropical:) [A man] having a disagreeable voice: thus likened to an ass. (A, TA.) b6: Accord. to IAar, الشَّوَارِبُ signifies [also] مَجَارِى المَآءِ فِى العَيْنِ, which AM supposes to mean The channels of water in the spring, or source; not in the eye. (L, TA.) b7: سُنْبُلٌ شَارِبُ قَمْحٍ means (tropical:) Ears of corn becoming, or being, pervaded by the farina: (A, TA:) or, in which the grain has hardened, and nearly come to maturity. (TA.) A2: Also (assumed tropical:) Weakness, or feebleness, in any animal: (K, * TA:) or a strain (عِرْق) thereof; as in the saying, نِعْمَ البَعِيرُ هٰذَا لَوْلَا

أَنَّ فِيهِ شَارِبَ خَوَرٍ (assumed tropical:) [Excellent, or most excellent, were the camel, this one, were there not in him a strain of weakness or feebleness]. (TA.) شَارِبَةٌ [a subst. from شَارِبٌ, made such by the affix ة,] A people, or party, dwelling upon the side (ضَفَّة, in some copies of the K صُفَّة,) of a river, (S, * A, K,) and to whom belongs the water thereof. (S.) إِشْرَابٌ as syn. with شُرْبَةٌ: see the latter.

مَشْرَبٌ is a noun of place, [and of time,] as well as an inf. n.: [i. e.] it signifies [A place, and a time, of drinking: or] the quarter (وَجْه) whence one drinks: (S, TA:) and a place to which one comes to drink at a river or rivulet: (TA:) and ↓ مَشْرَبَةٌ, (S, Msb, K, TA,) not, as is implied in the K, مَشْرُبَةٌ also, (TA,) signifies [the same, as is indicated in the A; or] a place whence people drink; (Msb, TA; *) i. q. مَشْرَعَةٌ; (K;) or like a مَشْرَعَة.

(TA.) b2: See also شِرْبٌ.

(TA.) اِسْقِنِى فَإِنَّنِى مُشْرِبٌ is a saying mentioned by IAar, and expl. by him as meaning عَطْشَانُ: it means [Give thou me to drink, for] I am thirsty or my camels are thirsty. (TA.) مِشْرَبٌ: see شِرْبٌ: and see also شَرُوبٌ.

مَشْرَبَةٌ: see مَشْرَبٌ, in three places. b2: Hence, (A, TA,) An upper chamber; syn. غُرْفَةٌ; (S, A, Msb, K, TA;) and عُِلِّيَّةٌ; (S, * K;) both of which signify the same; (MF, TA;) because people drink therein; (A, TA;) as also ↓ مَشْرُبَةٌ: (S, Msb, K, TA:) pl. مَشَارِبُ, (TA,) syn. with عَلَالِىُّ, (S,) and مَشْرَبَاتٌ.

(S, A, K.) مُشَرَّبٌ حُمْرَةً (tropical:) A man whose complexion is much tinged over [or much intermixed] with redness. (TA.)

[In the CK, تُدْرَكَ is erroneously put for تُدْرِكَ.]) b4: And ضَرَّعَ الرُّبُّ [app. means The rob, or inspissated juice, became nearly mature; or] the expressed juice was cooked, but its cooking was not complete. (O, K, * TA. [In the CK, الرُّبَّ is erroneously put for الرُّبُّ, and طَبَخ for طُبِخَ, and يُتِمَّ طَبْخَهُ for يَتِمَّ طَبْخُهُ.]) 3 مُضَارِعَةٌ is syn. with مُشَابَهَةٌ: (S, O, Msb:) accord. to Er-Rághib, its primary meaning is The sharing [in a thing, or particularly in the ضَرْع, or udder], like مُرَاضَعَةٌ, which is the “ sharing in sucking. ” (TA.) You say ضارعهُ He, or it, resembled him, or it; was, or became like him, or it. (K, TA.) And بَيْنَهُمَا مُرَاضَعَةُ الكَاسِ وَمُضَارَعَةُ الأَجْنَاسِ [Between them two are the sipping of the wine-cup, and the resemblance of kinds; or compotation and congeniality]: said in the A to be from الضَّرْعُ. (TA.) [See also an ex. voce تَحَلَّجَ.] b2: Also i. q. مُقَارَبَةٌ [meaning The approaching a thing]. (TA.) See 2, in two places.4 اضرعت, said of a ewe or she-goat, Her milk descended [into her udder, i. e. she secreted milk in her udder, as is shown in the lexicons in many places, (see for instance, أَرَدَّتْ, and رِدَّةٌ,)] a little before her bringing forth: (S, O, K:) and [in like manner] said of a she-camel, her milk descended from (مِنْ [a mistranscription for فِى

i. e. into]) her udder near the time of bringing forth; and the epithet applied to her is ↓ مُضْرِعٌ [without ة]: or, as in the A, said of a she-camel and of a cow, her udder (ضَرْعُهَا) became prominent before bringing forth: (TA:) or, said of a ewe or she-goat, she showed herself to be pregnant, and became large in her udder. (T in art. رمد.) and أَضْرَعَتْ عَلَى رَأْسِ الوَلَدِ [She secreted milk, or became large, in the udder, at the time of bringing forth, or when about to produce the young, like as one says كَانَ ذٰلِكَ عَلَى رَأْسِ فُلَانٍ expl. in art. رأس], said of a ewe or goat.

(O, K. *) b3: And اضرعهُ signifies also He, or it, lowered, humbled, or abased, him. (S, O, K.) Thus, in a trad. of 'Alee, أَضْرَعَ اللّٰهُ خُدُودَكُمْ May God lower, or humble, or abase, your cheeks. (TA.) One says also, كَانَ مَزْهُوًّا فَأَضْرَعَهُ الفَقْرُ [He was proud, haughty, or insolent, and poverty lowered, or humbled, or abased, him]. (TA.) And it is said in a prov., الحُمَّى أَضْرَعَتْنِى

Prov. i. pp. 364-5:] the prov. is applied to the case of abasement on the occasion of need. (Meyd, O, TA.) b4: One says also, اضرعهُ إِلَيْهِ He, or it, constrained him to have recourse to him, or it. (TA.) b5: And اضرعهُ الحُبُّ Love rendered him lean, or emaciated.

(O.) A2: It is also a pl. of ضَارِعٌ [as mentioned above, voce ضَرَعٌ]. (TA.) ضَرِيعٌ and ضَرِيعَةٌ (IF, S O, K) and ↓ ضَرْعَآءُ, (O, K,) applied to a ewe or she-goat, Large in the ضَرْع [or udder]; (IF, S, O, K;) and in like manner applied to a woman: (K:) or ↓ the last is applied to a woman as meaning large in the breasts, and in like manner to a ewe or she-goat: (IDrd, TA:) or, accord. to the L, the second and ↓ third, as first expl. above, are applied to a ewe or she-goat, and to a camel; and the first is applied to a ewe or she-goat, as meaning goodly in the ضَرْع. (TA.) A2: Also, the first of these words, (O, K;) mentioned in the Kur lxxxviii. 6, (O,) i. q. شِبْرِــقٌ; (O, K;) which is A bad sort of pasture, upon which the pasturing cattle do not make (لَا تَعْقِدُ) fat nor flesh, and which renders them in a bad condition if they do not quit it and betake themselves to other pasture; (AHn, O;) or, accord. to IAth, the شبرق is a certain plant in El-Hijáz, having large thorns: (TA:) or, the plant called شِبْرِــق that is dried up; (Fr, S, O, K;) شبرق being its appellation when it is in its fresh state; (Fr, K, TA;) the people of El-Hijáz call it ضريع in its dry state; (Fr, TA;) and it is [said to be] a plant which the beast will not approach, because of its bad quality: (K:) and (K) what is dry of any tree; (Ibn-'Abbád, O, K;) accord. to some, peculiarly, of the عَرْفَج and خُلَّة; (TA;) or [any] dry herbage: (TA in art. بحت:) and, (K,) accord. to Lth, (O,) a certain plant in water that has become altered for the worse by long standing or the like, having roots that reach not to the ground: (O, K:) or a certain thing in Hell, more bitter than aloes, and more stinking than the carcass, and hotter than fire; (K, TA;) the food of the inmates of Hell; but this was unknown to the [pagan] Arabs: (TA:) and, (K,) as some say, (O,) a certain plant, (K, O,) green, (O,) thus in the L, but in the “ Mufradát ” red, (TA,) of fetid odour, cast up by the sea, (O, K,) light, and hollow: (TA:) and, (K,) accord. to Abu-l-Jowzà, (O,) the prickles of the palm-tree: (O, K:) and, (K,) accord. to IAar, (O,) the [thorny tree called] عَوْسَج, in its fresh state.

مُضْرِعٌ an epithet applied to a she-camel [and app. to a ewe or she-goat]: see 4.

مُضَرِّعٌ part. n. of the intrans. verb ضَرَّعَ. b2: In the TA, voce كَثْءٌ, مصرع, which is evidently a mistranscription for مُضَرِّعٌ, is expl. as an epithet applied to a preparation of أَقِط (q. v.) as meaning Such as has become thick, or coagulated, and almost thoroughly cooked: on the authority of AHát.]

المُضَارِعُ [as a conventional term of grammar] The future tense; [or rather the aor. st; for it is properly the present, and tropically the future:] so called because it resembles nouns in admitting the desinential syntactical signs. (TA.) مُسْتَضْرِعٌ: see ضَرَعٌ.

ثمن

1 ثَمَنَهُمْ, aor. ـُ (S, M, Mgh, &c.,) inf. n. ثَمْنٌ, (M,) He took the eighth of their goods, or property. (S, M, Mgh, Msb, K.) b2: And, aor. ـِ He was, or became, the eighth of them: (S, Mgh, Msb, K:) or he made them, with himself, eight. (S in art. ثلث.) And He made them, they being seventy-nine, to be eighty. (A'Obeyd, S in art. ثلث.) A2: ثَمُنَ, [aor. ـُ inf. n. ثَمَانَةٌ, It (a commodity) was, or became, precious, costly, of high price; and ↓ اثمن [signifies the same; or] it had a price, or value. (TA. [See ثَمِينٌ.]) 2 ثمّنهُ He made it eight: or called it eight. (Esh-Sheybánee, and K in art. وحد.) b2: [He made it octangular.] b3: ثمّن لِامْرَأَتِهِ, or عِنْدَهَا, He remained eight nights with his wife: and in like manner the verb is used in relation to any saying or action. (TA in art. سبع.) A2: Also, (T, TA,) inf. n. تَثْمِينٌ, (TA,) He collected it together. (T, TA.) A3: Also, inf. n. as above, (Msb, TA,) He made known, or notified, [or he set or assigned it,] its price; i. e., the price of a commodity; like قَوَّمَهُ: (TA:) or he assigned it a price by conjecture: (Msb:) and ↓ اثمنهُ he named a price for it. (TA.) 4 اثمن القَوْمُ The party of men became eight: (S, K:) and also the party of men became eighty. (M and L in art. ثلث.) b2: أَثْمَنَتْ She brought forth her eighth offspring. (TA in art. بكر.) b3: اثمن said of a man, He was, or became, one whose camels came to water ↓ ثِمْنًا, (S, K,) i. e., on the eighth night [after the next preceding watering]. (K.) A2: اثمن said of a commodity: see 1.

A3: اثمنهُ He sold it for a price. (Msb.) b2: See also 2. b3: اثمن الرَّجُلَ مَتَاعَهُ, (T, S,) or سِلْعَتَهُ, (K,) and اثمن لَهُ, (T, S, K,) [i. e. اثمن له متاعه, or سلعته,] signify the same, (T, S, *) He gave the man the price of his commodity: (K:) or اثمن الرَّجُلَ بِمَتَاعِهِ, and اثمن لَهُ مَتَاعَهُ, he named to the man a price for his commodity, and assigned it to it, or to him. (Mgh.) ثُمْنٌ: see ثُمُنٌ.

ثِمْنٌ The eighth young one or offspring. (A in art. ثلث.) A2: One of the periods between two drinkings, or waterings, of camels: (S:) [or the end of one of those periods; namely, the night of coming to water which is] the eighth night of a period between two drinkings, or waterings, of camels, (K,) [counting the night of the next preceding drinking, or watering, as the first: see رِبْعٌ and خِمْسٌ &c.] See also 4.

ثَمَنٌ The price of a thing; i. e. the thing that the seller receives in return for the thing sold, whether money or a commodity; (Er-Rághib, TA;) the ثَمَن of a thing sold: (S:) and also (Er-Rághib, TA) a compensation, or substitute, (Mgh, Msb, Er-Rághib, TA,) whatever it be, for a thing, (Er-Rághib, TA,) i. e., for a thing that is sold; but in the sense commonly known, such as it is incumbent upon one to pay, of pieces of silver, and of gold [or other money]; not commodities and the like: (Mgh:) or the value, or worth, of a thing; (K;) its قِيمَة: (T:) or the estimated value, or worth, of a thing, by mutual consent, even though it be really excessive or deficient; whereas the قِيمَة is its real value or worth, its equivalent: (MF:) pl. أَثْمَانٌ (T, Mgh, Msb, K) and أَثْمُنٌ, (S, Msb, K,) the latter used only as a pl. of pauc., (Msb,) and [so] أَثْمِنَةٌ. (CK: not in the TA.) The saying in the Kur [ii. 38 and v. 48], وَلَا تَشْتَرُوا بِآيَاتِى ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا is metaphorical, meaning (tropical:) And take ye not in exchange for my signs a small substitute: [i. e. purchase not in exchange for belief in my word the happiness, or enjoyments, of the present life.] (Mgh.) With respect to this saying, Fr remarks, when ثَمَنًا occurs in the Kur, with بِ prefixed to the name of the thing sold or bought, in most cases it relates to two things whereof neither is a ثمن in the sense commonly known, i. e., such as pieces of gold and of silver: and such is the case when you say, اِشْتَرَيْتُ ثَوْبًا بِكِسَآءٍ [I purchased a garment with a كساء, q. v.]: either of these may be termed a ثمن for the other: but in speaking of pieces of silver and of gold, you prefix the ب to the ثمن [only]; as is done in [the chapter of] Yoosuf, [i. e. ch. xii., v. 20, where it is said,] وَشَرَوْهُ بِثَمَنٍ بَخْسٍ دَرَاهِمَ مَعْدُودَةٍ

[And they sold him for a deficient, or an insufficient, price: for pieces of silver not many, so as to require their being weighed, but few, and therefore counted]: for pieces of silver are always a ثمن: and when you purchase pieces of silver and of gold with the like, you prefix the ب to whichever of the two you will, because each of them in this case is a purchase and a price. (T.) ثُمُنٌ (S, M, Mgh, Msb, K) and ↓ ثُمْنٌ (M, Msb, K) An eighth; an eighth part or portion; as also ↓ ثَمِينٌ; (S, M, * Mgh, Msb, K;) agreeably with a general rule applying to fractions, accord. to some; (M, K;) but ثَلِيثٌ was ignored by Az (T and S in art. ثلث) and by others, (TA,) and so was خَمِيسٌ: (S in art. ثلث:) pl. أَثْمَانٌ. (M, K.) ثَمَانٍ and ثَمَانٌ: see ثَمَانِيَةٌ.

ثَمِينٌ: see ثُمُنٌ.

A2: Also High-priced; or of high value; (S, TA;) and ↓ مُثْمِنٌ [signifies the same; or] having a price, or value: (TA:) but accord. to the Durrat el-Ghowwás, the assertion that the former has the meaning here assigned to it is a mistake; for it means [only] the same as ثُمُنٌ; and a thing that has a price, or value, is termed مثمن [app. مُثْمِنٌ, as above; but perhaps مُثْمَنٌ, q. v.]. (Har p. 42.) ثَمَانِيَةٌ a noun of number, well known; [meaning Eight;] as also ↓ ثَمَانٍ, (M, TA,) which is like يَمَانٍ, (M, K,) in form: (M:) the former is the masc. form: the latter, the fem.: (Msb:) this is not a rel. n. [though likened above to يَمَانٍ]: (M, K:) or it is originally a rel. n. from الثُّمُنُ, because it is the part, or portion, that makes seven to be eight, so that it is its eighth: they make the first letter to be pronounced with fet-h, because they make changes [in some other cases] in the rel. n., (S, K,) as when they say سُهْلِىٌّ and دُهْرِىٌّ, [which are rel. ns. of سَهْلٌ and دَهْرٌ,] (S,) and they suppress one of the two ى which are characteristic of the rel. n., and compensate it by the insertion of ا, as they do in the rel. n. of اليَمَنُ [when they say يَمَانٍ, originally يَمَانِىٌ, for يَمَنِىٌّ]: (S, K: [and the like is said in the Mgh:]) El-Fárisee says that the ا of ثَمَانٍ is the characteristic of the rel. n., because this word is not a broken pl. like صَحَارٍ; and IF assents to this, and says that were it not so, the ة would be inseparable, as it is in عَبَاقِيَةٌ &c. (M.) You say ثَمَانِيَةُ رِجَالٍ [Eight men], (T, S, Mgh,) and ثَمَانِيَةُ أَيَّامٍ [eight days]. (Msb.) And when ثمان is prefixed to another noun, its ى is retained, like the ى in القَاضِى: (S, Msb, K:) and it is decl. in the same manner as words of the class to which this last belongs: (Msb:) you say ثَمَانِى نِسْوَةٍ

[Eight women], (T, S, Mgh, Msb, K,) and ثَمَانِى

مِائَةٍ [eight hundred], (S, Msb, K,) [in the nom. and gen. cases;] and رَأَيْتُ ثَمَانِىَ نِسْوَةٍ [I saw eight women], pronouncing the fet-hah [at the end, in this case]. (Msb.) When it is with tenween, the ى is dropped in the nom. and gen. cases, but it is retained in the accus. case: (S, K:) [i. e.,] when the fem. form is not prefixed to another noun, you say, عِنْدِى مِنَ النِّسَآءِ ثَمَانٍ

[I have with me, of women, eight], and مَرَرْتُ مِنْهُنَّ بِثَمَانٍ [I passed by, of them, eight], and رَأَيْتُ ثَمَانِيًا [I saw eight]. (Msb.) It sometimes occurs, in poetry, indecl.: (S, M:) this is because it is fancied to be a pl.; (S;) or because it is likened, as to the letter, but not as to the meaning, to جَوَارِىَ. (M.) The people of El-Hijáz pronounce the masc. and the fem. with nasb in every case, in phrases like أَتَوْنِى ثَلَاثَتَهُمْ and أَتَيْنَنِى ثَلَاثَهُنَّ; and so on to ten [inclusive]. (S voce ثَلَاثَةٌ, q. v.) Th mentions ↓ ثَمَانٌ; (TA;) and some instances of its occurrence are cited; but As disallows it. (T, Mgh, TA.) كِسَآءٌ ذُو ثَمَانٍ means A [garment of the kind called] كساء

made of eight fleeces. (T.) تُقْبِلُ بِأَرْبَعٍ وَتُدْبِرُ بِثَمَانٍ [She advances with four and goes back with eight] is a saying of one of the مُخَنَّثُون of El-Medeeneh; meaning, with four creases (عُكَن) of the belly, and with eight extremities thereof; each crease having two extremities, towards the two sides of the woman spoken of. (Mgh in art. هيت.) The saying الثَّوْبُ سَبْعٌ فِى ثَمَانٍ should properly be فِى ثَمَانِيَةٍ, (S,) which means, The garment, or piece of cloth, is seven cubits in length by eight spans in breadth; (Msb;) because the length is measured by the ذِرَاع, which is fem., and the breadth by the شِبْر, which is masc.; but they use the fem. when they do not mention things; as when they say, صُمْنَا مِنَ الشَّهْرِ خَمْسًا [We fasted, of the month, five], though meaning days: (S:) or because ذراع is fem. in most instances, and شبر is masc. (Msb.) [But it is said that when ثمانية means the things numbered, not the amount of the number, it is imperfectly decl., being regarded as a proper name: thus] you say, تِسْعَةُ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ ثَمَانِيَةَ [Nine things are more than eight things]. (TA voce تِسْعَةٌ, q. v.) [See also سِتَّةٌ.] b2: When you make it a compound [with the number ten], you say, عِنْدَى ثَمَانِيَةَ عَشَرَ رَجُلًا [I have with me eighteen men]: and in the case of the fem., you may either make the ى to be with fet-h or make it quiescent, saying, عِنْدِى

مِنَ النِّسَآءِ ثَمَانِىَ عَشْرَةَ امْرَأَةً or ثَمَانِىْعَشْرَةَ [I have with me, of women, eighteen women]; but the former is the more chaste; and in one dial., the ى is elided, on the condition of [saying ثَمَانَ عَشْرَةَ,] making the ن to be with fet-h; (Msb;) or in this case you say ثَمَانِ عَشْرَةَ, with kesr. (T.) A poet says, (T, S,) namely, El-Aashà, (K,) فَلَأَشْرَبَنَّ ثَمَانِيًا وَثَمَانِيًا وَثَمَانِ عَشْرَةَ وَاثْنَتَيْنِ وَأَرْبَعَا [And I will assuredly drink eight cups of wine, (a pl. of كَأْس, which is fem., being understood,) and eight more, and eighteen, and two, and four]: (T, S, K: but in the S and K, وَلَقَدْ شَرِبْتُ; and in the K, and in one copy of the S, وَثَمَانَ:) he should properly have said ثَمَانِىَ عَشْرَةَ or ثَمَانِىْ عَشْرَةَ, (accord. to different copies of the T and S and K,) but he elides the ى after the dial. of him who says طِوَالُ الأَيْدِ [for الأَيْدِى], (S, K,) and he makes the ن to be with kesr in order to indicate the ى. (T.) b3: The dim. of ثَمَانِيَةٌ may be formed either by suppressing the ا, which is the preferable way, so that you say ↓ ثُمَيْنِيَةٌ, or by suppressing the ى, saying ↓ ثُمَيِّنَةٌ, changing the ا into ى and incorporating into it the ى that is the characteristic of the dim.; and you may compensate for both [of these suppressed letters by saying ↓ ثُمَيْنِيَّةٌ and ↓ ثُمَيِّينَةٌ]. (S.) b4: الثَّمَانِى is also the name of A certain plant. (As, T, K.) ثَمَانُونَ a well-known noun of number; [meaning Eighty;] sometimes used as an epithet: ElAashà says, لَئِنْ كُنْتَ فِى جُبٍّ ثَمَانِينَ قَامَةً

وَرُقِّيتَ أَسْبَابَ السِّمَآءِ بِسُلَّمِ [Assuredly if thou wert in a well eighty fathoms deep, and wert made to ascend the tracts of heaven by a ladder]: he uses it thus as meaning deep. (TA. [But in this verse, as cited in the present art in the TA, أَبْوَابَ is put in the place of اسباب, which is the reading commonly known, and given in the S and TA in art. سب, and in the TA in art رقى-]) أَحْمَقُ مِنْ صَاحَبِ ضَأْنٍ ثَمَانِينَ [More stupid than an owner of eighty sheep], (S, K,) or مِنْ رَاعِى ضَأْنٍ ثَمَانِينَ [than a pastor of eighty sheep], as in some of the copies of the S, or, as in the Proverbs of Aboo-'Obeyd, مِنْ طَالِبِ ضَأْنٍ

ثَمَانِينَ [than a demander of eighty sheep], (TA,) is a saying that originated from the fact that an Arab of the desert announced to Kisrà an event that rejoiced him, whereupon he said, “Ask of me what thou wilt; ” and he asked of him eighty sheep. (S, K.) b2: [It also signifies Eightieth.]

And hence the phrases, ضَاقَ بِالأَمْرِ ذَرْعُهُ, and ↓ ذِرَاعُهُ, (K,) and ضَاقَ بِالأَمْرِ ذَرْعًا, (S, Msb, K,) in which the last word is in the accus. case as an explicative, for the original form of the phrase is that first mentioned, (TA,) and sometimes they said ↓ ذِرَاعًا, (S, TA,) (tropical:) He was unable to do, or accomplish, the thing, or affair; as though meaning, he stretched forth his arm to it and it did not reach it; (S, TA; *) or these phrases are thus used because he who is short in the fore arm will not reach that which he who is long therein reaches, nor will the power of the former equal that of the latter; therefore they are proverbially applied to him whose power falls short of the attainment, or accomplishment, of an affair: (TA:) or he lacked strength, or power, or ability, to do, or accomplish, the thing, or affair, and found not any way of escape from what was disagreeable therein: (K:) or he was unable to bear, or endure, or undertake, the thing, or affair. (Msb.) You say also, مَا لِى بِهِ ذَرْعٌ, and ↓ ذِرَاعٌ, (tropical:) I have not power, or ability, to do it. (TA.) And كَسَرَ ذٰلِكَ مِنْ ذَرْعِى (tropical:) That disabled, hindered, prevented, or withheld, me from doing that which I desired. (TA.) And اِقْصِدْ بِذَرْعِكَ (tropical:) Deal thou gently with thyself; moderate thyself restrain thyself; i. q. اِرْبَعْ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ; (S, TA;) and let not thy soul, or mind, carry thee beyond thy measure or extent [of power or ability]. (TA.) And أَبْطَرْتُ فُلَانًا ذَرْعهُ (tropical:) I imposed upon such a one more than he was able to do: (S, TA:) but ذَرْعٌ also signifies (assumed tropical:) the body: and [accord. to IAar] أَبَطَرَنِى ذَرْعِى means (tropical:) He wasted my body, and cut off my means of subsistence. (TA.) [See also art. بطر.] You likewise say, رَجُلٌ

↓ رَحْبُ الذِّرَاعِ [and الذَّرْعِ] (tropical:) A man having ample strength, and power, and might in war or fight, courage, valour, or prowess. (TA. [See also رَحْبٌ.]) And ضَعِيفُ الذَّرْعِ (tropical:) Impotent. (KL.) b3: And hence, فُلَانٌ خَالِى الذَّرْعِ (tropical:) Such a one has his heart devoid of anxieties, or solicitudes, and griefs; because the heart is sometimes one of the seats of power: or it may mean, agreeably with the original signification of ذَرْعٌ, such a one is free from the causes of occupation which require the stretching forth of the fore arm and extending of the hand. (Har p. 131.) and رَجُلٌ وَاسِعٌ الذَّرْعِ, and ↓ الذِّرَاعِ, (tropical:) A man large, or liberal, in disposition. (K.) And كَبُرَ فِى ذَرْعِى (assumed tropical:) Its occurrence, or befalling, was of great moment, momentous, grievous, or distressing, to me. (TA.) b4: ذَرْعٌ also signifies The measure of anything: and نَخْلَةٌ ذَرْعُ رَجَلٍ, A palm-tree of the measure of the stature of a man. (TA.) ذَرَعٌ A coveting; desiring eagerly; or lusting. (S, K.) [Perhaps an inf. n. of which the verb is ذَرِعَ.]

A2: See also ذَرِيعَةٌ.

ذَرِعٌ: see ذَرِيعٌ, in two places. b2: (assumed tropical:) That journeys by night and by day. (K.) b3: (assumed tropical:) Longtongued with evil speech. (K.) A2: (assumed tropical:) Good in social, or familiar, intercourse. (K, TA.) ذُرْعَةٌ: see ذَرِيعَةٌ.

ذَرَاعٌ (S, K) and ↓ ذِرَاعٌ (ISd, K) (assumed tropical:) A woman (S) light, or active, with the hands in spinning: (S, K:) or one who spins much; who has ability to do so. (TA.) ذِرَاعٌ, of a man, (Msb,) [The part] from the elbow to the extremities of the fingers; (Mgh, Msb;) the fore arm; syn. سَاعِدٌ [q. v.; thus corresponding to the سَاق of the leg]: (Lth, K:) and (tropical:) [the space] from the extremity of the elbow to the extremity of the middle finger: (M, Mgh, * K: [in the last of which, the space is plainly shown to be meant, like as the part is shown in the Msb to be meant in the explanation cited above from that work and the Mgh: see also جَرِيبٌ:]) in both these senses, sometimes masc., (K,) accord. to Kh: (TA:) J says, (TA,) as relating to the arm, it is masc. and fem.; but Sb says that it is fem.: (S, TA:) [Mtr says,] it is fem.: (Mgh:) [Fei says,] the measure so called is in most instances fem.: accord. to ISk, it is fem.; but some of the Arabs make it masc.: Fr says that it is fem.; but that some of [the tribe named] 'Okl make it masc.: As did not know an instance of its being masc.: and Zj says that such an instance is extr.; not choice: (Msb:) the measure thus called, [i. e. the cubit,] (Msb,) the ذِرَاعٌ مُكَسَّرَة [or cubit which is divided into fractions], (Mgh,) is six قَبَضَات [or fists] (Mgh, Msb) of middling measure; (Msb;) and this is called ذِرَاعُ العَمَامَّةِ [the cubit of the common people, or the common cubit], because it wants one قَبْضَة [or fist] of what is called ذِرَاعُ المَلِكِ [the cubit of the king], namely one of the Kisràs, (Mgh, Msb,) not the last of them, whose ذراع was seven قَبَضَات: (Mgh:) [see also مِيلٌ: it is also an astronomical measure; and as such, it seems, from several instances in which it is mentioned by Kzw and other writers, to be, probably, by rule, two degrees; nearly the half, or quarter, of the length assigned in different instances to the measure termed رُمْحٌ; but, like the latter, not precise nor uniform in every instance:] the dim. is ↓ ذُرِيَّعَةٌ, with ة because it is fem.; (TA;) or ↓ ذُرَيْعٌ [or ↓ ذُرَيِّعٌ, without ة, accord. to those who make it masc.]: (L voce حَرْبٌ:) the pl. is أَذْرُعٌ and ذُرْعَانٌ; (O, Msb, K;) or, accord. to Sb, the former only; (S, Msb;) and Sb adds, they have given it this form of pl. because it is fem.; meaning, that فِعَالٌ and فُعَالٌ and فَعِيلٌ, when fem., have the pl. of the measure أَفْعُلٌ. (TA.) In the phrase الثَّوْبُ سَبْعٌ فِى ثَمَانِيَةٍ [The garment, or piece of cloth, is seven cubits by eight spans], they say سبع because أَذْرُع is fem., and ثمانية because أَشْبَار is masc.; (S; [and the like is said in the Mgh;]) and because the length is measured by the ذراع, and the breadth by the شِبْر. (S in art. ثمن.) ذِرَاعٌ is also used as an epithet, applied to a masc. n.: thus they say, هٰذَا ثَوْبٌ ذِرَاعٌ [This is a garment, or piece of cloth, a cubit in length]. (Kh.) You say also, هُوَ مِنِّى عَلَى حَبْلِ الذِّرَاعِ It is prepared, or made ready, on my part: (S:) and هُوَ لَكَ عَلَى حَبْلِ الذِّرَاعِ I will pay it to thee in ready money: or it is prepared, or made ready, for thee: the حبل being a certain vein in the ذراع. (TA.) b2: [Hence several tropical significations:] see ذَرْعٌ, in six places: and see also ذَرَاعٌ. b3: Hence also, (Z, TA,) (tropical:) The instrument with which one measures the length of the ذراع [or cubit], (S, Z, O, Mgh, K,) made of a piece of wood, (Mgh,) or whether it be iron or a rod of wood. (O, K.) b4: [Hence also,] (assumed tropical:) A sleeve: as in the phrase ثَوْبٌ مُوَشَّى الذِّرَاعِ (assumed tropical:) [a garment, or piece of cloth, variegated, or figured, in the sleeve]: pl. ↓ مَذَارِعُ, a pl. not agreeing with its sing., like مَلَامِحُ and مَحَاسِنُ. (TA.) b5: Of the fore legs of bulls or cows, and of sheep or goats, [The arm; i. e.] the part above the كُرَاع: and of the fore legs of camels and horses and mules and asses, [likewise the arm; i. e.] the part above the وَظِيف: (K:) [also the arm-bone of any of the animals here mentioned:] accord. to Lth, (TA,) of any animal, [but this is by synecdoche, (assumed tropical:) the fore leg;] i. q. يَدٌ; (Msb, TA;) applying to the whole of whatever is called thus: (TA:) [thus, again, corresponding to سَاقٌ; this latter term, in like manner, having a proper and a synecdochical acceptation. Hence the prov.] لَا تُطْعِمِ العَبْدَ الكُرَاعَ فَيَطْمَعَ فِى الذِّرَاعِ [Feed not thou the slave with the shank, lest he covet the arm]. (K.) b6: [Hence,] الذِّرَاعُ, also called ذِرَاعُ الأَسَد (assumed tropical:) Two bright stars, which are one of the Mansions of the Moon: (S:) [there are two asterisms thus called; together, الذِّرَعَانِ: one of them is] الذِّرَاعُ المَبْسُوطَةُ, [also called ذِرَاعُ الأَسَدِ المَبْسُوطَةُ,] the two bright stars α and β] in the heads of Gemini: (Kzw in his description of Gemini:) [the other is called الذِّرَاعُ المَقْبُوضَةُ, and] ذِرَاعُ الأَسَدِ المَقْبُوضَةُ, the two bright stars α and β] of Canis Minor: (Kzw in his description of Canis Minor:) [hence it appears that the ancient Arabs, or many of them, extended the figure of Leo (as they did also that of Scorpio) far beyond the limits which we assign to it: the former ذراع accord. to those who make النَّوْءُ to signify “ the auroral rising,”

but the latter accord. to those who make it to signify “ the auroral setting,” is the Seventh Mansion of the Moon: the following descriptions in Kzw's account of the Mansions of the Moon, and in the O and K and TA, are obscure and inaccurate:] الذِّرَاعُ is one of the Mansions of the Moon, (O, Kzw, K,) and is called ذراع الاسد المقبوضة, (O, Kzw,) or ذراع الاسد المبسوطة: (K:) the lion has a ذراع which is مبسوطة and a ذراع which is مقبوضة, (O, Kzw, K,) and this is the one next to Syria, (O, K,) or on the left, (Kzw,) and in it the moon has a mansion; the مبسوطة being next to El-Yemen, (O, K,) or on the right; (Kzw;) [but this description of their relative positions should be reversed, as is shown by what precedes and by what follows;] each being two stars, between which is the measure of a سَوْط [or whip]; (O;) and the latter is higher in the sky, and more extended, than the other, (O, K,) wherefore it is called مبسوطة; (O;) and sometimes the moon deviates, and so has a mansion in it: (O, K:) [it is said in the TA that الذراع is also a name of one of the asterisms (نُجُوم) of الجَوْزَآء; but this is the same that is called the مبسوطة:] it rises [at dawn] on the fourth of تَمُّوز [or July O. S.], and sets [at dawn] on the fourth of كَانُون الآخِر [or January, O. S.]: (O, Kzw: [and so in the K, except that in this last, it is erroneously said to set in كَانُون الأَوَّل:]) so says IKt: but Ibráheem El-Harbee says that it rises on the seventh of تمّوز, and sets on the sixth of كانون الآخر. (O, TA.) [See مَنَازِلُ القَمَرِ, in art. نزل; and see also نَوْءٌ, and نَكْبَآءُ.] The rhyming prosaist of the Arabs says, إِذَا طَلَعَتِ الذِّرَاعْ حَسَرَتِ الشَّمْسُ القِنَاعْ وَاسْتَعْلَتْ فِى الأُفُقِ الشُّعَاعْ وَ تَرَقْرَقَ السَّرَابُ فِى

كُلِّ قَاعْ [When the Dhiráa rises at dawn, the sun puts off the veil, and the rays ascend in the horizon, and the mirage flickers, or glistens, in every plain]. (TA.) And the Arabs assert that when there is no rain [at any other season] in the year, the ذراع does not break its promise, though it be but a بَغْشَة [or weak shower of rain]: (Kzw, TA:) [or] its نَوْء is approved, and seldom does it break its promise. (Kzw.) b7: ذِرَاعٌ also signifies (assumed tropical:) A certain mark made with a hot iron upon the arm (ذراع) of a camel: (S, K:) and is a mark of the Benoo-Thaalebeh in El-Yemen, and of some persons of the Benoo-Málik-Ibn-Saad. (K.) b8: Also (tropical:) The fore part of a spear or spear-shaft: (K, TA:) this is called (S, TA) also (TA) ذِرَاعُ الَعَامِلِ. (S, TA.) ذَرُوعٌ: see what next follows.

ذَرِيعٌ Wide in step, (S, K,) and light, or active, in pace, or going; (K;) applied to a horse, (S, K,) and to a camel; as also ↓ ذَرُوعٌ: (K:) and quick: (S, Msb, K:) [and so ↓ ذَرِعٌ; for] ↓ ذَرِعَاتٌ, (S, O, K,) applied to the legs of a quadruped (قَوَائِمٌ), (S, TA,) signifies quick, (S, K,) wide in step, taking much of the ground: (O, K:) or, as some say, this last word signifies the legs of a beast, (TA,) like ↓ مَذَارِعُ, (S, K,) pl. of مِذْرَاعٌ. (K.) It is said of Mohammad, in a trad., كَانَ ذَرِيعَ المَشْىِ (assumed tropical:) He was quick, and wide of step, in walking. (TA.)

(S, Msb.) You say, فُلَانٌ ذَرِيعَتِى إِلَيْكَ (tropical:) Such a one is my means of access to thee, and of attachment to thee, or connexion with thee. (TA.) b3: Also, [like دَرِيْئَةٌ,] A ring by aiming at which one learns the art of shooting, or casting [the lance &c.]. (TA.) ذُرَيِّعٌ: dims. of ذِرَاعٌ, q. v.

(Ibn-'Abbád, K.) ذَارِعٌ [so in a copy of the S and of the K and in the TA: in one copy of S and in one of the K, ذِرَاع: in the CK, ذَرّاع: but the right reading is ذَارِعٌ, as is shown by verses in which it occurs, cited in the TA, and by its pl.,] A small [skin of the kind called] زِقّ, which is stripped off from the part next to the ذِرَاع [or arm], (S, K,) and which is for شَرَاب [or wine]; (S;) and ↓ مِذْرَعٌ signifies [the same; or simply] a small زِقّ: (TA:) or, as some say, زِقٌّ ذَارِعٌ signifies a زقّ that takes much water: (TA:) the pl. is ذَوَارِعُ. (S, TA.) A2: نَاقَةٌ ذَارَعَةٌ An excellent she-camel. (TA.) أَذْرَعُ [More, and most, light, or active, and quick, with the arms, or hands, or (assumed tropical:) otherwise].
