(S.) A2: See also 5, in three places.2 نمّر, inf. n. تَنْمِيرٌ, (assumed tropical:) He, or it, changed, or altered, and rendered morose, his face. (T.) A2: See also 5, in two places.5 تنمّر [He made himself like a leopard or panther, in diversity of colours: see also 1].

'Amr Ibn-Maadee-Kerib says, قَوْمٌ إِذَا لَبِسُوا الحَدِي دَ تَنَمَّرُوا حَلَقًا وَقِدَّا [A people who, when they put on armour of iron mail,] make themselves like the leopard or panther (نَمِر) in the diversity of colours of the iron [rings] and the thongs. (S.) b2: (assumed tropical:) He made himself like the leopard or panther (نَمِر, K, TA) in ill-nature: (TA:) (tropical:) he became angry; as also ↓ نَمِرَ, (M,) aor. ـَ inf. n. ↓ نَمَرٌ; (TA;) and ↓ نمّر: (M:) (tropical:) he became evil in disposition; as also ↓ نَمِرَ: (T:) (tropical:) he became angry and evil in disposition; as also ↓ نَمِرَ and ↓ نمّر; (IKtt, Sgh, K;) like the نَمِر: (TA:) (tropical:) he strained the voice in threatening: (Sgh, K:) and تنمّر لَهُ (assumed tropical:) he became ill-natured and altered to him, and threatened him; because the نَمِر is never met otherwise than angry and illnatured. (As, S, K.) نِمْرٌ: see نَمِرٌ.

نَمِرٌ: see أَنْمَرُ, throughout. b2: نَمِرٌ (S, A, Msb, K, &c.) and نِمْرٌ, (M, A, Msb, K,) which is a contraction of the former, (Msb,) or a dial. form, (TA,) [The leopard;] a certain wild beast, (S, A, Msb, K, &c.) well known, (A, K,) more malignant than the lion, (T, M, Mgh, Msb,) and bolder, (Msb,) so called because of his نُمَر [or spots], (M, K,) being of divers colours, (M,) called in Persian پَلَنْكْ: (Mgh:) fem. with ة: (S, Msb:) pl. [of pauc.] أَنْمُرٌ (M, K) and أَنْمَارٌ, (M, Msb, K,) and [of mult.] نُمُورٌ, (S, M, Msb, K,) held by Th to be pl. of نِمْرٌ, (M,) and نُمُورَةٌ (Msb, and so in some copies of the K) and نُمُرٌ, (S, M, K,) which occurs in poetry, and is anomalous, perhaps a contraction of نُمُورٌ, (S,) and not mentioned by Sb, (M,) and نُمْرٌ, (M, K,) which is the most common in occurrence, but, accord. to Th, he who uses it makes the sing. أَنْمَرُ, (M,) and نِمَارٌ, (M, K,) held by Th to be pl. of نِمْرٌ, (M,) and نِمَارَةٌ. (K.) As the نَمِر is one of the most abominable and malignant of wild beasts, one says, لَبِسَ فُلَانٌ لِفُلَانٍ جِلْدَ النَّمِرِ, meaning, (tropical:) Such a one became changed, or altered, to such a one; or met him in a morose manner: (IB:) or became very rancourous, or malicious, towards him. (TA.) The kings of the Arabs, when they sat [in judgment] to slay a man, used to attire themselves in skins of the نَمِر, and then give orders for the slaying of him whom they desired to slay. (IB.)

(TA.) It is said in a trad. of Saad, نَبَطِىٌّ فِى حُبْوَتِهِ أَعْرَابىٌّ فِى نَمِرَتِهِ أَسَدٌ فِى تَأْمُورَتِهِ [A Nabathean in his hubweh (a long piece of cloth, or the like, wound round the back and legs of a person sitting with his thighs against his belly); an Arab of the desert in his nemireh; a lion in his den].

(M.) [As زَاكٍ is coupled with نَامٍ, app. as an explicative adjunct, in the T and M, I think that I have here rendered it correctly: otherwise I should have supposed it to mean, perhaps, pure.] b2: حَسَبٌ نَمِيرٌ, (S, M, A, K,) and ↓ نَمِرٌ, (M, K,) (tropical:) i. q. زَاكٍ [see above]: (S, M, A, K:) pl. أَنْمَارٌ.

أُرِكَهَا مَطِرَةً [Show thou it to me spotted like the leopard, I will show it to thee raining]: (S, K:) alluding to an event which one certainly knows will happen when the symptoms thereof appear: (Meyd, K, TA:) originally said by Aboo-Dhueyb El-Hudhalee: (TA:) نَمِرَة is here like خَضِرًا in the Kur, vi. 99, for أَخْضَرَ: (Akh, S:) by rule, it should be نَمْرَآءَ, (K, TA,) fem. of أَنْمَرُ. (TA.) b2: See also نَمِرٌ.

مُنَمَّرٌ: see أَنْمَرُ. [In the TA, voce حِبَرَةٌ, it is applied as an epithet to a garment of the kind called بُرْد: and in the K, voce حَبِيرٌ, to a cloud, or collection of clouds: in the former case, it app. signifies striped, (see نَمِرَةٌ,) or, as in the latter case, spotted.]

1 نَاطَهُ, aor. ـُ inf. n. نَوْطٌ, He suspended it; hung it. (S, Msb, K.) You say, نُطْتُ القِرْبَةَ بِنِيَاطِهَا [I suspended the water-skin by its نياط, q. v]. (TA.) And نِيطَ عَلَيْهِ الشَّىْءُ The thing was suspended to him, or it: and نُوطَ عليه: (TA:) or عَلَيْهِ ↓ نُوِّطَ, (S; accord. to two copies: the pronoun relating to a camel when loaded.) and نِيطَ بِهِ الشَّىْءُ The thing was attached to, or connected with, him, or it. (TA.) It is said in a trad, مَا أَخَذْنَاهُ إِلَّا عَفْوًا بِلَا سَوْطٍ وَلَا نَوْطٍ i. e. [We took him not save with case;] with neither beating, [lit. with neither whip,] nor hanging [or clinging]. (TA.) And in a proverb, كُلُّ شَاهٍ بِرِجْلِهَا سَتُنَاطُ [Every sheep, or goat, shall be hung by its hind leg]: i. e. every one who commits a crime shall be punished for it: or, accord to As, one ought not to punish for a crime, or an offence, any but the committer thereof. (TA.) And Hassán Ibn-Thábit says, وَأَنْتَ دَعِىٌّ نِيطَ فِى آلِ هَاشِمٍ

كَمَا نِيطَ خَلْفَ الرَّاكِبِ القَدَحُ الفَرْدُ [And thou art an adopted person, who is connected with the family of Háshim, like as the single drinking-cup is connected behind the rider]. (TA.) See also شَاقَ, in art. شوق.2 نَوَّطَ see 1.8 انتاط It was, or became, suspended, or hung; it hung; (K, TA;) بِهِ to him, or it. (TA.) b2: [And hence,] (tropical:) It was, or became, distant, or remote, or far-extending. (S, TA.) You say, انتاطت المَفَازَةُ, and, by transposition, إِنْتَطَت, (tropical:) The desert extended far; [as though it were connected with a desert like it; (see نِيَاطٌ;)] it was far-extending. (TA.) And انتاطت المَغَازِى (tropical:) The places of war were distant, or far-extending: from نِيَاطُ المَفَازَةِ, meaning “ the far extent of the desert: ” or from النَوْطُ. (TA.) And انتاطت الدَّارُ (tropical:) The house, or place of abode, &c., was distant. (IAar, K, TA.) نَوْطٌ A thing, (S, K,) whatever it be, (S,) that is suspended, or hung, from another thing; (S, K;) an inf. n. used as a subst.: (K:) and particularly a thing that is put, or hung, upon a camel, (عِلَاوَةٌ,) between two halves of a load, بين عِدْلَيْنِ, (K,) or, as A 'Obeyd says, بَيْنَ العُودَيْنِ [which, if not a mistranscription, app. meansbetween the two staves of the saddle]; (TA:) the علاوة being thus called because it is suspended (تُنَاطُ) to the load: (Z, TA:) and a small [receptacle of palm-leaves, of the kind called] جُلَّة, (Az, S, K,) containing dates (S, K) and the like, (K,) which is suspended from a camel, (S,) being hung, by its handles, from the saddle of the camel of burden: (Az, TA;) such, says Az, I have heard thus called by the people of El-Bahreyn: (TA:) pl. [of pauc.] أَنْوَاطٌ (S. K) and [of mult.] نِيَاطٌ (Az, K;) the former is pl. of نَوْطٌ in the general sense first mentioned above: and also signifies what is suspended (نُوِّطَ, as in two copies of the S, or نُوطَ, as in the TA) upon the camel when he is loaded: (S, TA:) and i. q. مَعَالِيقُ [things suspended to a beast of burden; such as the قُمْقُمَة and the قِرْبَة and the مِطْهَرَة]. (S, K.) It is said in a proverb عَاطٍ بَغَيْرِ أَنْوَاطٍ Taking [or reaching to take] without there being there anything suspended; which is like the saying “ Driving by singing without having a camel ” (S, L, See also art عطو.]) And in another proverb. إِنْ أَعْيَا البَعِيرُ فَزِدْهُ نَوْطًا [If the camel be fatigued, add thou to him an appendage to his full load] meaning, if he be slow and inobsequious in his pace, do not thou lighten his burden: (K:) accord. to As, إِنْ أَعْيَا فَزِدْهُ نَوْطًا is a proverb relating to the pressing a niggardly man. (TA.) b2: ذَاتُ أَنْوَاطٍ the name of A particular tree, (S, TA,) of great size, (S,) which was worshipped in the time of ignorance, said by IAth to be the name of a particular gum-acacia-free (سَمُرَة) to which the believers in a plurality of gods used to suspend their weapons, and around which they used to circuit. (TA.) b3: النَّوْطُ المُذَبْذِبُ occurs in a trad. as meaning The leg of a rider, from fatigue or some other cause, ever dangling, or moving to and fro. (TA.) نَيْطٌ: see نِيَاطٌ, in two places. and see art نيط.

نِيَاطٌ The loop-shaped handle (عُرْوَة) of a قِرْبَة [or water-skin]: (Msb:) the [appendage called]

مُعَلَّق [q. v.] of a bow; (S, K;) by which it is suspended: (K, voce خَطَمَ:) and of a قِرْبَة: [by which it is suspended; (see 1, second sentence;) and of anything. (K.) b2: See also شِيَاقٌ. b3: Also (S, Msb [in the K, “or,” which is evidently a mistake,]) النِّيَاطُ [i. e. نِيَاطُ القَلْبِ The suspensory of the heart;] a vein, (S, Msb,) or a thick vein, (K,) [app. the ascending aor. a,] by which the heart is suspended (S, Msb, K) from, (مِنْ, S, Msb [or possibly this may mean forming a part of,]) or to, (إِلَى, K,) the وَتِين, [which seems here to signify the descending aor. a, or, accord. to the second rendering of من, suggested above, the aor. a altogether,] (S, Msb, K,) the cutting, or severing, of which causes death; (S, Msb;) as also ↓ نَيْط: (S:) pl. [of pauc.] أَنْوِطَةٌ and [of mult.] نُوطٌ, with damm, (Az, K,) because the ى in نِيَاطٌ is originally و: the latter is allowable when the number is not meant [to be limited to a few]: or, accord. to some, there are two things thus called: the upper being that of the heart: and the lower, the فَرْج. (Az, L.) [Hence,] المُقَطَّعَةُ النِّيَاطِ (K, and so in a copy of the S, excepting that the former word is there without the article,) is applied to (tropical:) The أَرْنَب [or female hare], (S, K,) like مُقَطَّعَةُ الأَسْحَارِ, (S,) as an appellation of good omen, i. e. as meaning that her نياط will be severed: or, as some say, المُقَطِّعَةُ النِّيَاطِ, (K, and so in some copies of the S, excepting that the former word is there without the article,) as meaning that, by reason of her swiftness, her نياط, or [as in the A,] the نياط of [every one of] the dogs [that pursue her], will be severed. (K.) Hence also the saying, ↓ رَمَاهُ اللّٰهُ بِالنَّيْطِ, meaning [God smote him, or may God smite him,] with death. (S.) [See also art. نيط.] [Hence likewise,] النِّيَاطُ is applied to (tropical:) Two stars [app. s and t of Scorpio] between which is قَلْبُ العَقْرَبِ [which is the star and of that constellation]. (Sgh, K, TA.) b4: Also, i. q. الفُؤَادُ [which generally means The heart; but is probably here used in one of its other senses, namely, the appendages of the œsophagus, consisting of the liver and lungs and heart]. (K.) b5: Also, A certain vein lying within the صُلْب [i. e. backbone, or back], beneath the [portion of flesh and sinew called the] مَتْن; and so ↓ النَّائِطُ: (K:) or the latter is a vein extending in, or along, the صُلْب, [in some copies of the K, قَلْب, which, as is said in the TA, is a mistake,] by the cutting of which the مَصْفُور [or person in whose belly is yellow water, as explained in the TA,] is treated for the purpose of cure. (S, K.) b6: نِيَاطُ المَفَازَةِ (tropical:) The far extent of the desert: (TA:) or of the way thereof; as though it were connected with another desert, (S, K,) hardly coming to an end. (S, TA.) [Thus,] البَعِيدُ نِيَاطُهُ, applied to the Hijáz, means البَعِيدُ مُعَلَّقُهُ (assumed tropical:) [i. e. Whereof every connected part, or appendant tract, is far-extending]. (Ham, p. XXX). The Rájiz, El-'Ajjáj, says, وَبَلْدَةٍ بَعِيدَةِ النِّيَاطِ مَجْهُولَةٍ تَغْتَالُ خَطْوَ الخَاطِى (assumed tropical:) [Many a region far extending, unknown, rendering unapparent the trace of the stepping of the stepper]. (S and O in the present art. and in art. غول.) النَّائطُ: see نِيَاطٌ.

تَنَوُّطٌ, (S, K,) like تَكَرُّمٌ, (K,) and تُنَوِّطٌ, (S, K,) with damm to the ت (K) and fet-h to the ن (TA) and kesr to the و, (K,) or تَنَوِّطٌ, (as in some copies of the S,) and تُنُوِّطٌ, (TA, voce تُبُشِّرٌ,) A certain bird, that lets down strings from a tree, (As, S, K,) and weaves its nest like an oilflask, suspended to those strings, (K,) then produces her young therein; and hence its appellation: (As, S:) a certain bird, like the قَارِيَة in blackness, [or rather in dinginess,] that constructs its nest between two twigs, or branches, or upon one twig, or branch, making its nest long, so that a man cannot reach its eggs until he introduces his arm to the shoulder-joint: or, accord. to Aboo-'Alee, a certain bird, that suspends pieces of the bark of trees [formed into strings], and makes its nest at their extremities, to protect itself from serpents and men and ذَرّ [or young ants, or small red ants]: (TA [see also صَافِرٌ:]) called in Persian كِيپُوْ: (Kzw:) n. un. with ة. (S, K.) [See De Sacy's Chrest. Arabe, 2nd ed., vol. iii., p. 499.] Hence the proverb, أَصْنَعُ مِنْ تَنَوُّطٍ [More skilled in fabricating than a تنوّط]. (Meyd.) تَنْوُاطٌ What is hung (S, K) from, (S,) or upon, (K,) the [kind of vehicle called] هَوْدَجٌ, for ornament: (S, K:) or the implements, or apparatus, &c., that are hung upon a horse. (Ham, p. 165) b2: And hence, (tropical:) Adventives; or persons who introduce themselves among a people, and live among them, not being of their race; and persons whose fathers are free men, or Arabs, and whose mothers are slaves, and who have become conjoined with the genuine and pure Arabs, not being of them: for ذُو التَّنْوَاطِ; [or ذَوُو التَّنْوَاطِ;] the latter of these two words being originally an inf. n.: or it may be an inf. n. used as an epithet. (Ham, ibid.) [See also مَنُوطٌ.]

مَنَاطٌ A place of suspension, or hanging. (Msb.) b2: [Hence the saying,] فُلَانٌ مِنِّى مَنَاطَ الثُّرَيَّا (tropical:) [Such a one is with respect to me as though he were in the place of suspension of the Pleiades]; i. e., in distance: (Sb, S, K * [in the K, هذا is put for فُلَانٌ; and in the CK, مَناطُ is erroneously put for مناطَ]:) or the meaning is, in such a station: the prep. being understood, as in ذَهَبْتُ الشَأْمَ and دَخَلْتُ البَيْتَ: Z says, هُمْ مِنِّى مَنَاطَ الثُّرَيَّا (tropical:) [they are &c.] by reason of their elevated state. (TA.) مَنُوطٌ Suspended; hung. (K.) You say, هٰذَا مَنُوطٌ بِهِ This is suspended, or hung, to him, or it. (K.) b2: [Hence the saying,] هٰذَا رَجُلٌ مَنُوطٌ بِالقَوْمِ (assumed tropical:) This is a man adventive to the people; one who has introduced himself among them, and lives among them, not being of their race: (K, * TA:) or i. q. دَعِىٌّ [one whose origin, or lineage, is suspected; &c.]: (K:) and مَنُوطٌ مُذَبْذِبٌ is also applied to a person of this latter description who betakes himself to a people; the latter epithet being added to denote that he knows not to whom to assert himself related, like the wind wavering to the right and left. (TA.) See also تَنْوَاطٌ.]

مُنْتَاطٌ (tropical:) Distant, or remote; and far extending. (TA.) You say, مُنْتَاطُ المَحَلِّ (tropical:) Whose place of abode is distant. (TA.) And غَايَةٌ مُنْتَاطَةٌ (tropical:) A distant goal, or scope; or a far-extending space. (TA.)

قلب

1 قَلَبَهُ, (S, A, Mgh, O, Msb, K,) aor. ـِ (Msb, K.) inf. n. قَلْبٌ, (Msb,) He altered, or changed, its, or his, mode, or manner, of being; (A, Mgh, Msb, * K;) and ↓ قلّبهُ signifies the same, (K,) or is like قَلَبَهُ in the sense expl. above and in other senses but denotes intensiveness and muchness; (Msb;) and ↓ اقلبهُ also signifies the same as قَلَبَهُ in the sense expl. above, (K,) on the authority of Lh, but is of weak authority. (TA.) Hence, (Mgh,) He inverted it; turned it upside-down; turned it so as to make its upper most part its undermost; (S, * A, * Mgh, Msb;) namely, a thing; (S;) for instance, a [garment of the kind called] رِدَآء: (A, * Mgh:) and ↓ قلّبهُ has a similar meaning, but [properly] denotes intensiveness and muchness. (Msb. See two exs. of the latter verb voce قَلَبَةٌ.) And, (A, K,) like ↓ قلّبهُ, [except that the latter properly denotes intensiveness and muchness,] (K,) it signifies حَوَّلَهُ ظَهْرًا لِبَطْنٍ (A, K) [He turned it over, or upsidedown as meaning so that the upper side became the under side; lit. back for belly; accord. to the TA, meaning back upon belly (ظَهْرًا عَلَى بَطْنٍ); but this is hardly conceivable; whereas the former explanation is obviously right in another case: (see 5:) and another meaning of قَلَبَهُ and ↓ قُلبهُ, i. e. he turned it inside-out, is indicated in the TA by its being added, so that he knew what was in it]. b2: See an ex. voce قَلَابِ. One says, قَلَبَ كَلَامًا [meaning He altered, or changed, the order of the words of a sentence or the like, by inversion, or by any transposition]. (TA.) [And in like manner, قَلَبَ كَلِمَةً He altered, or changed, the order of the letters of a word, by inversion, or by any transposition.] Es-Sakháwee says, in the Expos. of the Mufassal, that when they transpose [the letters of a word], they do not assign to the [transformed] derivative an inf. n., lest it should be confounded with the original, using only the inf. n. of the original that it may be an evidence of the originality [of the application of the latter to denote the signification common to both]: thus they say يَئِسَ, inf. n. يَأْسٌ; and أَيِسَ is مِنْهُ ↓ مَقْلُوبٌ [i. e. formed by transposition, or metathesis, from it], and has no inf. n.: when the two inf. ns. exist, the grammarians decide that each of the two verbs is [to be regarded as] an original, and that neither is مقلوب from the other, as in the case of جَذَبَ and جَبَذَ: but the lexicologists [in general] assert that all such are [of the class termed]

مقلوب. (Mz, close of the 33rd نوع.) [and قَلَبَ likewise signifies He changed, or converted, a letter into another letter; the verb in this sense being doubly trans.: for ex., one says, قَلَبَ الوَاوَ يَآءً He changed, or converted, the و into ى.] b3: And [hence] one says, قَلَبَهُ عَنْ وَجْهِهِ (assumed tropical:) He turned him [from his manner, way, or course, of acting, or proceeding, &c.]: and Lh has mentioned ↓ اقلبهُ [in the same sense], but as being disapproved. (TA.) And قَلَبَ الصِّبْيَانَ (tropical:) He (the teacher) turned away [or dismissed] the boys to their dwellings: (Th, A, TA:) or sent them [away], and returned them, to their abodes: and Lh has mentioned ↓ اقلبهم as a dial. var. of weak authority, saying that the former verb is that which is used by the Arabs in this and other [similar] cases. (TA.) And قَلَبْتُ القَوْمَ (assumed tropical:) I turned away [or dismissed] the people, or party; (Th, S, O;) like as you say صَرَفْتُ الصِّبْيَانَ. (Th, S.) And قَلَبَ اللّٰهُ فُلَانًا إِلَيْهِ (assumed tropical:) [God translated such a one unto Himself, by death: meaning God took his soul]; as also ↓ اقلبه; (K, TA;) whence the saying of Anooshirwán, اللّٰهُ مُقْلَبَ أَوْلِيَائِهِ ↓ أَقْلَبَكُمُ (assumed tropical:) [May God translate you with the translating of his favourites (مقلب being here an inf. n.), meaning, as He translates his favourites]. (TA.) b4: And قَلَبَ عَيْنَهُ, and حِمْلَاقَهُ, (TA,) or حِمْلَاقَ عَيْنِهِ, (A,) [He turned about, or rolled, his eye, and therefore the parts of his eye that are occasionally covered by the eyelids,] on the occasion of anger, (A, TA,) and of threatening. (TA.) b5: قَلَبَ, aor. ـِ inf. n. قَلْبٌ; and ↓ اقلب likewise, but this is of weak authority, mentioned by Lh; signify also He turned over bread, and the like, when the upper part thereof was thoroughly baked, in order that the under side might become so. (TA.) And you say, قَلَبْتُ الإِنَآءَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ [I turned over the vessel upon its head]. (Msb, in explanation of كَبَبْتُ الإِنَآءَ.) And قَلَبْتُ الأَرْضَ لِلزِّرَاعَةِ [I turned over the earth for sowing]: and ↓ قَلَّبْتُهَا, also, I did so much.] (Msb.) And يُقْلَبُ التُّرَابُ بِالحَفْرِ [The earth is turned over in digging]: whence قَلَبْتُ قَلِيبًا means I dug a well. (A.) b6: And [hence also] one says, قَلَبْتُ الشَّىْءَ لِلْاِبْتِيَاعِ I turned over the thing, or (assumed tropical:) I examined the several parts, or portions, of the thing, (تَصَفَّحْتُهُ,) [or I turned over the thing for the purpose of examining it,] with a view to purchasing, and saw its outer part or side, and its inner part or side: and ↓ قَلَّبْتُهُ, also, I did so much. (Msb.) And قَلَبَ السِّلْعَةَ (tropical:) He (a trafficker) examined the commodity, and scrutinized its condition: and ↓ قَلَّبَهَا, also, he did so [much]. (A.) And قَلَبَ الدَّابَّةَ and الغُلَامَ (tropical:) [He examined, &c., the beast, or horse, or the like, and the youth, or young man, or male slave]: (A:) and قَلَبَ المَمْلُوكَ, aor. ـِ inf. n. قَلْبٌ, (tropical:) he uncovered and examined the male slave, to look at [or to see] his defects, on the occasion of purchasing. (O, TA.) And قَلَبْتُ الأَمْرَ ظَهْرًا لِبَطْنٍ (assumed tropical:) I considered [or turned over in my mind] what might be the issues, or results, of the affair, or case: and ↓ قَلَّبْتُهُ, also, I did so much. (Msb.) A2: قَلَبٌ signifies اِنْقِلابٌ, (S, A, O, K, TA,) meaning A turning outward, (TK,) and being flabby, (TA,) of the lip, (S, A, O, K,) or of the upper lip, (TA,) of a man: (S, A, O, K, TA:) it is the inf. n. of قَلِبَت said of the lip (الشَّفَةُ); (TA;) [and also, accord. to the TK, of قَلِبَ said of a man as meaning His lip had what is termed قَلَبٌ:] and hence ↓ أَقْلَبُ as an epithet applied to a man; and [its fem.] ↓ قَلْبَآء as an epithet applied to a lip. (S, A, O, K, TA.) A3: قَلَبَهُ, (S, A, O, K,) aor. ـُ (Lh, K) and قَلِبَ, (K,) He (a man, S, O) hit his heart. (S, A, O, K.) And It (a disease) affected, or attacked, his heart. (A.) and قُلِبَ He (a man) was affected, or attacked, by a pain in his heart, (Fr, A, * TA,) from which one hardly, or nowise, becomes free. (Fr, TA.) and قُلِبَ said of a camel, (As, S, O, K, TA,) inf. n. قُلَابٌ, (As, S, TA,) He was attacked by the disease called قُلَاب expl. below: (As, S, O, K, TA:) or he was attacked suddenly by the [pestilence termed] غُدَّة, and died in consequence. (As, TA.) b2: [Hence,] قَلَبَ النَّخْلَةَ (tropical:) He plucked out the قَلْب, or قُلْب, meaning heart, of the palm-tree. (S, A, O, K.) b3: And قَلَبَتِ البُسْرَةُ (assumed tropical:) The unripe date became red. (S, O, K.) 2 قَلَّبَ see 1, first quarter, in four places. Yousay, قَلَّبْتُهُ بِيَدِى [I turned it over and over with my hand], inf. n. تَقْلِيبٌ. (S.) [And hence several other significations mentioned above.] See, again, 1, latter half, in four places. b2: فَأَصْبَحَ يُقَلِّبُ كَفَّيْهِ, (A, O,) in the Kur [xviii. 40], (O,) means فاصبح يقلّب كفّيه ظَهْرًا لِبَطْنٍ [and he began to turn his hands upside-down, or to do so repeatedly,] in grief, or regret: (Bd:) or (tropical:) he became in the state, or condition, of repenting, or grieving: (Ksh, A, O:) for تَقْلِيبُ الكَفَّيْنِ is an action of him who is repenting, or grieving; (Ksh, O:) and therefore metonymically denotes repentance, or grief, like عَضُّ الكَفِّ and السُّقُوطُ فِى اليَدِ. (Ksh.) b3: [تَقْلِيبُ المَالِ لِغَرَضِ الرِّبْحِ occurs in the A, in art. تجر, as an explanation of التِّجَارَةُ, meaning (assumed tropical:) The employing of property, or turning it to use, in various ways, for the purpose of gain.] And you say, قَلَّبْتُهُ فِى الأَمْرِ, meaning صَرَّفْتُهُ [i. e. (assumed tropical:) I employed him to act in whatever way he pleased, according to his own judgment or discretion or free will, or I made him a free agent, in the affair: or I made him, or employed him, to practise versatility, or to use art or artifice or cunning, in the affair: and simply, I employed him in the managing of the affair]. (K in art. صرف.) [And قَلَّبَ الفِكَرَ فِى أمّرٍ (assumed tropical:) He turned over and over, or revolved repeatedly, in his mind, thoughts, considerations, or ideas, with a view to the attainment of some object, in relation to an affair.] And قلّب الأُمُورَ, (TA,) inf. n. تَقْلِيبٌ, (S, K, TA,) (tropical:) He investigated, scrutinized, or examined, affairs, [or turned them over and over in his mind, meditating what he should do,] and considered what would be their results. (TA.) وَقَلَّبُوا لَكَ الأُمُورَ is a phrase occurring in the Kur-án [ix. 48,] (Msb,) and is tropical, (A,) meaning (tropical:) [And they turned over and over in their minds affairs, meditating what they should do to thee: or] they turned over [repeatedly in their minds] thoughts, or considerations, concerning the beguiling, or circumventing, thee, and the rendering thy religion ineffectual]: (Jel:) or they meditated, or devised, in relation to thee, wiles, artifices, plots, or stratagems; and [more agreeably with the primary import of the verb] they revolved ideas, or opinions, respecting the frustrating of thy affair. (Ksh, Bd.) 4 أَقْلَبَ see 1, in six places. [اقلبهُ, said of God, also signifies (assumed tropical:) He made him to return from a journey: see an ex. in the first paragraph of art. صحب. (In the phrase أَقْبِلْنَا بِذِمَّةٍ, expl. in the TA in art. دم as meaning Restore us to our family in safety, أَقْبِلْنَا is a mistranscription for أَقْلِبْنَا.)]

A2: اقلب as intrans., said of bread [and the like], It became fit to be turned over [in order that the other side might become thoroughly baked]. (S, O, K.) b2: And اقلب العِنَبُ The grapes became dry, or tough, externally, (K, TA,) and were therefore turned over, or shifted. (TA.) A3: Also He had his camels attacked by the disease called قُلَاب.

(S, O, TA.) تقلّب said of a man's face [&c.] signifies تصرّف [i. e. It turned about, properly meaning much, or in various ways or directions; or it was, or became, turned about, &c.].

[See also the Kur iii. 196, and xl. 4.]) You say, تقلّب فِى البِلَادِ, (TA,) and فى الأُمُورِ, (K, TA,) meaning تَصَرَّفَ فِيهَا كَيْفَ شَآءَ [i. e.

(K, * TA.) and هُوَ يَتَقَلَّبُ فِى أَعْمَالِ السُّلْطَانِ (tropical:) He acts as he pleases, &c., or simply he employs himself, in the offices of administration, or in the provinces, of the Sultán]. (A.) 7 انقلب, of which مُنْقَلَبٌ is an inf. n., (S, O, K, TA,) syn. with اِنقِلَابٌ, (TA,) and also a n. of place, (S, O, K, TA,) like مُنْصَرَفٌ, (S, O, TA,) is quasi-pass. of قَلَبْتُهُ: (S, O:) it signifies It, or he, was, or became, altered, or changed, from its, or his, mode, or manner, of being: (TA:) [and hence,] it (a thing) became inverted, or turned upside-down [&c.: see 1]. (S.) b2: And [hence] الاِنْقِلَابُ إِلَى اللّٰهِ means (assumed tropical:) The transition, and the being translated, or removed, to God, by death: and [in like manner] المُنْقَلَبُ means the transition [&c.], of men, to the final abode.

(S in art. حول.) [See also an ex. from the Kur-án (lxvii. 4) voce خَاسِئٌ.]

قَلْبٌ The heart; syn. فُؤَادٌ: (Lh, T, S, M, O, Msb, K, &c.:) or [accord. to some] it has a more special signification than the latter word: (O, K:) [for] some say that فؤاد signifies the “ appendages of the مَرِىْء [or œsophagus], consisting of the liver and lungs and قَلْب [or heart]: ” (K in art. فأد:) [and, agreeably with this assertion,] it is said that the قلب is a lump of flesh, pertaining to the فؤاد, suspended to the نِيَاط [q. v.]: Az says, I have observed that some of the Arabs call the whole flesh of the قلب, its fat, and its حِجَاب [or septum?], قَلْب and فُؤَاد; and I have not observed them to distinguish between the two [words]; but I do not deny that the [word]

قلب may be [applied by some to] the black clot of blood in its interior: MF mentions that فؤاد is said to signify the “ receptacle,” or “ covering,” of the heart, (وِعَآءُ القَلْبِ, or غِشَاؤُهُ, [i. e. the pericardium,]) or, accord. to some, its “ interior: ” the قَلْب is said to be so called from its تَقَلُّب: [see 5:] the word is of the masc. gender: and the pl. is قُلُوبٌ. (TA.) بَنَاتُ القَلْبِ means (assumed tropical:) The several parts, or portions, [or, perhaps, appertenances,] of the heart. (TA in art. بنى.) [And قَلْبٌ is also used as meaning The stomach, which is often thus termed in the present day: so, for ex., in an explanation of طَنِخ, q. v.] b2: قَلْبُ العَقْرَبِ (also called simply, القَلْبُ, Kzw) is (assumed tropical:) A certain bright star, [the star a in Scorpio,] between two other stars, which is one of the Mansions of the Moon, (S, O,) namely, the Eighteenth Mansion; so called because it is in the heart of Scorpio: (MF:) [it rose aurorally, about the commencement of the era of the Flight, in Central Arabia, together with النَّسْرُ الوَقِعُ (a of Libra) on the 25th of November, O. S.: (see مَنَازِلُ القَمَرِ, in art. نزل:)] the commencement of the period when the cattle breed in the desert is at the time of its [auroral] rising and the [auroral] rising of النسر الواقع; these two stars rising together, in the cold season: the Arabs say, القَلبْ جَآءَ الشِّتَآءُ كَالْكَلْبْ [When the heart of the Scorpion rises, the winter comes like the dog]: and they regard its نَوْء [q. v.] as unlucky; and dislike journeying when the moon is in Scorpio: at its نَوْء [meaning auroral rising], the cold becomes vehement, cold winds blow, and the sap becomes stagnant in the trees: its رَقِيب is الدَّبَرَانُ [q. v.] (Kzw.) There are also three similar appellations of other stars: these are قَلْبُ الأَسَدِ (assumed tropical:) [Cor Leonis, or Regulus, the star a of Leo]: قَلْبُ الثَّوْرِ, an [improper] appellation of الدَّبَرَانُ: and قَلْبُ الحُوتِ, a name of الرِّشَآءُ [q. v.]. (TA.) b3: And القَلْبُ is syn. with الضَّمِيرُ [signifying (assumed tropical:) The heart as meaning the mind or the secret thoughts]. (Msb in art. ضمر.) b4: And (assumed tropical:) The soul. (TA.) b5: And (assumed tropical:) The mind, meaning the intellect, or intelligence. (Fr, S, O, Msb, K.) So in the Kur l. 36: (Fr, S, O, TA:) or it means there endeavour to understand, and consideration. (TA.)

And Aboo-'Alee El-Kálee mentions the saying, مِنْ قُوبٍ ↓ لَا وَالَّذِى أَخْرَجَ قَائِبَةً, as meaning [No, by Him who has produced] a young bird from an egg: but Aboo-'Obeyd El-Bekree says that this is inverted. (MF, TA.) b2: أُمُّ قُوبٍ [in the TA said to be بالفتح, a mistranscription for بِالضَّمِّ,] Calamity, or misfortune. (O, K.) قُوَبٌ [in the two phrases here following is probably pl. of ↓ قُوبَةٌ].

[accord. to general usage], (S,) [that is to say,] it is a compound of two words whereof the latter is inseparable from the former, so that one may not say تَأَمَّلْ قُزَحَ فَمَا أَبْيَنَ قَوْسَهُ [Consider thou Kuzah, for how plain is his bow!], (TA,) and the latter word is said to be the name of a certain devil, as such, imperfectly decl., (TA, Msb,) assigned to the same class as زُحَل, which, as Mbr says, is imperfectly decl. as being a proper name and deviating from its original form: (TA:) it is said in a trad., Say not ye قَوْسُ قُزَحَ, for قُزَحُ is the name of a devil, but say قَوْسُ اللّٰهِ: (Msb, TA:) or قُزَحُ is the name of a certain angel who is charged with the management of the clouds: or the name of a certain king of the 'Ajam [i. e.

[i. e. one says قَوْسُ قُزَحٍ]: (Msb:) or it is from قَزَحَ signifying it was, or became, high, or elevated: (K, TA:) Dmr strangely asserts that قوس قزح is a mistake, and that it is correctly قَوْسُ قَزَعٍ, from قَزَعٌ signifying “ clouds. ” (MF, TA.) قُزْحَةٌ A streak of yellow and of red and of green: (Msb, K:) pl. قُزَحٌ.
