فوه

1 فَاهَ بِهِ, (S, Msb, K,) aor. ـُ (S, Msb) and يَفِيهُ also, (ISd, TA,) inf. n. فَوْهٌ, (MA,) [and inf. n. of unity فَوْهَةٌ, (see Har p. 434,)] He uttered it, or pronounced it, (S, Msb, K,) namely, a saying; (S;) as also ↓ تفوّه. (S, K.) One says, مَا فُهْتُ بِكَلِمَةٍ, and ↓ ما تَفَوَّهْتُ, i. e. I opened not my mouth with a word, or sentence. (S.) فَاهَ لِسَانٌ, a phrase used by El-Hareeree, the Arabs did not say: they only said, فاه الرَّجُلُ بِكَذَا [The man opened his mouth with such a thing, i. e., with such a saying, &c.]. (Har p. 191.) And هٰذَا أَمْرٌ مَا فُهْتُ عَنْهُ, inf. n. فُوُوهٌ [or فُؤُوهٌ ?], is a saying mentioned by Fr, as meaning This is a thing, or an affair, which I mentioned not, or have not mentioned. (TA.) b2: See also 2.

A2: فَوِهَ, aor. ـْ [inf. n. فَوَهٌ,] He (a man) had what is termed ↓ فَوَهٌ, (S, TA,) which means width of the mouth, (S, K, TA,) and largeness thereof: (TA:) or protrusion and length of the upper central incisors: (S, TA:) or length of all the teeth; length of the upper central incisors being termed رَوَقٌ: (IB, TA:) or protrusion of the teeth from the lips, with length thereof. (K, TA.) 2 فوّههُ He (i. e. God) made him to be أَفْوَه [or wide in the mouth, &c.]. (S, K.) b2: شَدَّ مَا فَوَّهْتَ فِى هٰذَا الطَّعَامِ, [thus accord. to the TA, but an explanation of مُفَوَّهٌ seems to show that the right reading is فُوِّهْتَ, in the pass. form,] and ↓ تَفَوَّهْتَ, and ↓ فُهْتَ, means شَدَّ مَا أَكَلْتَ [app. Much indeed, or greatly indeed, didst thou eat, or hast thou eaten, of this food; see شَدَّ: and see also 10]. (TA.) 3 فاوههُ, (K, TA,) inf. n. مُفَاوَهَةٌ; (TA;) and فَاهَاهُ, [formed from the former by transposition,] (K, TA,) inf. n. مُفَاهَاةٌ; (TA;) He talked, or discoursed, with him: [see also 6:] and he contended with him for superiority in glory, or excellence. (K, TA.) 5 تفوّه He spoke. (KL.) See also 1, first and second sentences. b2: And see 2.

A2: تفوّه المَكَانَ (assumed tropical:) He entered the فُوَّهَة of the place; (K, TA;) i. e., the mouth thereof; likened to the فَم [properly thus called] as being the first place of ingress to the interior thereof. (TA.) 6 تفاوهوا They talked [app. one to another: see 3]. (K.) 10 استفاه, (S, K,) inf. n. اِسْتِفَاهَةٌ and اِسْتِفَاهٌ, (K,) the latter mentioned by Lh, (TA,) He (a man, S) ate, (S, K,) or drank, (K,) vehemently, after scantiness, (S, K,) or after weakness; (so in a copy of the S;) but seldom used in relation to drinking: or you say, استفاه فِى الطَّعَامِ, meaning he ate much of the food: so says IAar, not particularizing the act as being after scarcity or not. (TA.) [See also 2.] b2: And He quenched his thirst by drinking. (K.) فَاهٌ: see what next follows: and see the next paragraph again, in the latter half: A2: and the same word, and فَاهٍ, (the latter in two places,) see voce فَاوُوهَةٌ.

فُوهٌ and ↓ فَاهٌ and ↓ فِيهٌ (K, TA) and, accord. to the copies of the K, فُوهَةٌ, [or, as in the CK, فَوْهَة,] but correctly ↓ فُوَّهَةٌ, (TA,) and فَمٌ, all signify the same [i. e. The mouth]: (K, TA:) the pl. is أَفْوَاهٌ, (S, K, TA,) pl. of فُوهٌ, (S, TA,) and as such its case is plain; as pl. of فِيهٌ, it is like أَرْوَاحٌ as pl. of رِيحٌ; as pl of فَاهٌ, it is allowable as having و for its original medial radical; but as pl. of فُوَّهَةٌ, it is anomalous: (TA:) and another pl. is أَفْمَامٌ, (K, TA,) said by some to be pl. of فُمٌّ or فَمٌّ, with teshdeed, of which an ex. occurs in a verse cited in the first paragraph of art. فم; but some disallow this pl.; and accord. to some, (TA,) it has no sing. (K, TA) agreeable with rule, (TA,) for فَمٌ is originally فَوَهٌ, (K, TA,) with the و movent by fet-h, or [فَوْهٌ, as in some copies of the S,] with the و quiescent, on the authority of IJ; (TA;) the ه is elided, and the و becomes a movent final, therefore it must be changed into ا, because of the fet-hah preceding it, so the word becomes فا; but a noun may not be of two letters whereof one is [the ن of] the tenween, (K, TA,) thus the passage is expressed in the M, but MF remarks that correctly we should say whereof one is the ا, (TA,) and therefore a hard letter is substituted for it, one similar to it in kind, which is م, for they are both labials, and in the م is a sort of humming sound (هَوِىٌّ, in the CK هُوِىٌّ,) in the mouth, [or rather in the nose,] resembling [the sound of] the prolongation of the و: (K, TA:) [several similar disquisitions, added in the TA, respecting the change from فوه to فم, I omit, regarding them as needless: what is said on this subject in the S, in art. فم, I have mentioned in that art.:] in the present art., J says that the م of فم is a substitute for the ه, not for the و, of فوه; but this is a mistake: (IB, TA:) the dual of فَمٌ is فَمَانِ and فَمَوَانِ (IAar, S, Msb, K) and فَمَيَانِ, the second and third of which are anomalous: (IAar, K:) of the second, which occurs in a verse of ElFarezdak, [and respecting which see the first paragraph of art. فم,] Sb says that it is used by poetic license. (TA.) In using it as a prefixed noun, in the phrase هٰذَا فُوهُهُ, they deemed the combination of the two هs difficult in respect of utterance; therefore they suppressed the [radical]

ه thereof [in this case, and then in other, similar, cases], and said, هٰذَا فُوهُ, and فُو زَيْدٍ, and رَأَيْتُ فَا زَيْدٍ, and مَرَرْتُ بِفِى زَيْدٍ: and when prefixing it to [the pronoun denoting] thyself, thou sayest, هٰذَا فِىَّ; and this thou dost alike in using it in the nom. case and in the accus. and in the gen., because the و [of فُو] is changed into ى and is then incorporated [into the pronominal ى]: (S, and the like is said in the Msb:) and sometimes, though rarely, they did the like in other cases, when not prefixing it; for instance, فَا occurs at the end of a verse of El-'Ajjáj, without an affix, in this case for فَاهَا. (S.) b2: In the saying كَلَّمْتُهُ فَاهُ إِلَى فِىَّ, meaning I spoke to him, his mouth being near to my mouth, فاه is in the accus. case as a denotative of state: (S, TA: *) or by reason of the derivative [مُكَلِّمًا] meant to be understood: or, as Sb says, it is an instance of one of the nouns that are put in the place of inf. ns., and it is not to be separated from what should follow it, so that you may not say كَلَّمْتُهُ فَاهَ [alone], for you tell of your nearness to the person, and that there is not any one between you and him: and if you will, you may use the nom. case, meaning وَهٰذِهِ حَالُهُ [this being his state], (Sb, TA,) i. e. فُوهُ إِلَى فِىَّ [his mouth was near to my mouth], the clause [following كلّمته] occupying the place of a denotative of state. (TA.) b3: The saying فَاهَا لِفِيكَ, (Meyd, K, TA,) which is a prov., (Meyd, TA,) means May God make the mouth of misfortune to cleave to thy mouth; (Meyd, K, * TA;) [but lit. signifies, only, her, or its, mouth to thy mouth; and is [likewise] an instance of one of the nouns that are used in the manner of inf. ns. expressive of imprecation, by reason of a verb not mentioned: Sb says, فاها is without tenween, meaning فَا الدَّاهِيَةِ, as is shown by the saying, وَدَاهِيَةٍ مِنْ دَوَاهِى المَنُو نِ يَرْهَبُهَا النَّاسُ لَا فَا لَهَا

[Many a misfortune is there, of the misfortunes of time, which men fear, that has no mouth, wherewith to bite]: (Sb, TA:) A'Obeyd says that its primary meaning is, may God make the ground to be in thy mouth; that it is like the sayings بِفِيكَ الحَجَرُ and بِفِيكَ الأَثْلَبُ; (S, Meyd;) and [hence] it means disappointment [cleave] to thee: (S, * Meyd:) a man of Belhujeym, (S, Meyd,) cited by A'Obeyd, (S,) addressing a wolf that sought to get his she-camel, (Meyd,) says, فَقُلْتُ لَهُ فَاهَا لِفِيكَ فَإِنَّهَا قَلُوصُ امْرِئٍ قَارِيكَ مَا أَنْتَ حَاذِرُهُ [And I said to him, فاها لفيك, for she is the youthful she-camel of a man who will give thee as a guest's entertainment that which thou fearest]; (S, Meyd; but in the S, as IB has observed, فَإِنَّهُ is erroneously put for فَإِنَّهَا;) i. e. [who will entertain thee with] the shooting of arrows; (Meyd;) [by قَارِيكَ] he means يَقْرِيكَ, from قِرَى

الضَّيْفِ: (S:) it is also said that فَاهَا is metonymically used as meaning the dust of the earth, which is termed the mouth of the earth because it drinks the water; and it is as though the saying meant the dust be in thy mouth: (Meyd:) Sh is related to have said, I heard IAar say لِفِيكَ ↓ فَاهًا, with tenween, meaning may God make thy mouth to cleave to the ground; [or rather, ground to thy mouth; lit., simply, a mouth to thy mouth;] and some say فَاهَا لِفِيكَ, without tenween, as an imprecation meaning (assumed tropical:) may God break thy فَم [i. e. thy teeth, to which فَم is often metonymically applied, as is also فُوه]. (TA.) b4: One says also, سَقَى فُلَانٌ إِبِلَهُ عَلَى أَفْوَاهِهَا, meaning (tropical:) Such a one drew for his camels the water when they came to it, while they were drinking; not having stored it for them in the drinking-trough: and جَرَّ فُلَانٌ

إِبِلَهُ عَلَى أَفْوَاهِهَا (tropical:) Such a one suffered his camels to pasture while going along [by his driving them gently: see art. جر]: so says As: and so accord. to the A and other lexicons; but the author of the K, by an omission, has assigned the latter explanation to the former phrase. (TA.) b5: لَوْ وَجَدْتُ

إِلَيْهِ فَا كَرِشٍ, meaning أَدْنَى طَرِيقٍ, (K, TA,) has [with other, similar, phrases] been explained in art. كرش [q. v.]. (TA.) b6: فُو فَرَسٍ حَمِرٍ [Mouth of a horse that is suffering indigestion in consequence of his having eaten barley and so made it to stink] is an appellation applied to him who has stinking breath. (TA. [An ex. of it occurs in a verse of Imra-el-keys cited in the TA in art. حمر as in Ahlwardt's “ Divans of the Six Ancient Arabic Poets,” p. 125; and differently in De Slane's “ Diwan d'Amro-'kaïs,” p. 36 of the Arabic text.]) b7: And فُو جُرَدٍ [Mouth of a large fieldrat] and فُو دَبًا [Mouth of a sort of small wingless locust, or perhaps correctly فُو دَبَاةٍ mouth of a small wingless locust,] are nicknames applied to a little man. (TA.) b8: One says also, لَا فُضُّ فُوهُ, meaning (tropical:) May his teeth, or front teeth, not be broken. (K, * TA.) And سَقَطَ فُوهُ (assumed tropical:) His teeth fell out. (TA in art. فض [q. v.]) b9: And مَاتَ لِفِيهِ i. e. لِوَجْهِهِ [meaning (tropical:) He died upon his face; prone: like سَقَطَ لِوَجْهِهِ (assumed tropical:) He fell upon his face: the ل in both being used in the sense of عَلَى; as it is in the phrase خَرُّوا لِأَذْقَانِهِمْ (expl. in art. خر), &c.]. (A, K, TA. [The explanation in the TK, being somewhat ambiguous (though correct), has misled Freytag in this case.]) And [in like manner, using لِ in the sense of على,] كبَّهُ اللّٰهُ لِفِيهِ, one of their forms of imprecation, meaning (assumed tropical:) May God cause him to die: or prostrate him [upon his face; as also كَبَّهُ لِوَجْهِهِ]. (TA.) b10: [See also فُوَّهَةٌ as syn. with فُوهٌ; like which it has أَفْوَاهٌ for a pl.]

A2: فُوهٌ also, having for its pl. أَفْوَاهٌ, and pl. pl. أَفَاوِيهُ, (S, Mgh, Msb, K,) [which last is of very frequent occurrence,] signifies Perfume, or an odoriferous substance: (Mgh, Msb:) or a thing, or substance, with which a perfume, or an odoriferous substance, is compounded or prepared (يُعَالَجُ); like as تَوَابِلُ signifies things, or substances, with which sorts of food are compounded or prepared: (S, Mgh:) or the تَوَابِل [or seeds used in cooking] with which food is compounded or prepared (يُعَالَجُ) are also called أَفْوَاهُ الطِّيبِ: (Msb:) [the pl. and pl. pl. are now generally applied to spices, or aromatics:] or الأَفْوَاهُ, the pl. mentioned above, signifies [the seeds called] التَّوَابِلُ: and also what diffuse fragrance [I read نَوَافِحُ, as in my MS. copy of the K, pl. of نَافِحٌ, q. v., instead of نَوَافِجُ (with جِيم), the only reading that I find in other copies of the K, regarding the latter as indubitably a mistranscription,] of perfumes, or odoriferous substances: (K:) and the sorts, or species, of flowers; (K, TA;) thus says AHn; and in one place he says that الافواح signifies what are prepared for perfume, of sweetsmelling flowers; and sometimes they are of herbs, or leguminous plants: (TA:) and also sorts, or species, of a thing [app. of any kind]: (K:) and one says, هُوَ مِنْ أَفْوَاهِ الطيب, and أَفْوَاهِ البُقُولِ, meaning It is of the sorts, or species, and of the mixtures, or compounds, of perfume, and of herbs, or leguminous plants: (Mgh:) but فُوهٌ is not applied to anything that is termed عَقَّارٌ. (AHeyth, TA in art. عقر.) فَوَهٌ: see 1, last sentence. b2: Also The quality of a مَحَالَة [or large sheave of a pulley] such as is termed فَوْهَآء, fem. of أَفْوَهُ, q. v. (TA.) فِيهِ: see its syn. فُوهٌ.

فُوهَةٌ: see فُوَّهَةٌ, in five places.

فُوَّهٌ Certain slender, long, red roots, with which one dyes; beneficial for the liver and the spleen and the نَسَا [app. as meaning sciatica or the sciatic nerve] and pain of the hip and of the flank, powerfully diuretic, and kneaded with vinegar and applied as a liniment it cures the [leprosy termed]

بَرَص: (K, TA:) but the word was not known to Az in this sense, [which is the only meaning, except one which I think doubtful, that I find assigned to it;] and it is said to be the فُوَّة [which see in art. فو, i. e. madder]. (TA.) A2: See also فُوَّهَةٌ.

فَيِّهُ, originally فَيْوِهٌ: see مُفَوَّهٌ.

فُوَّهَةٌ: see its syn. فُوهٌ. b2: [Hence] it signifies also (tropical:) The فَم [i. e. mouth] of a place; likened to the فَم [properly so called] as being the first place of ingress, or entrance, to the interior: (TA:) [and so too as being the place of egress, or exit, from the interior:] it is of a river, or rivulet, (Lth, S, Msb, TA,) and of a valley, or water-course, or torrent-bed, (K, TA,) and of a street, and of a road; (S, Msb, K, TA;) signifying the فَم [or mouth]; as also ↓ فُوهَةٌ, (K, TA,) without teshdeed; mentioned by IAar: (TA:) or it signifies thus in relation to a river, or rivulet; (Lth, Msb, TA;) the foremost part thereof: or, as some say, the place of its pouring into the كِظَامَة [q. v.]: and accord. to Lth, in relation to a valley, or water-course, or torrent-bed, its رَأْس [or head, as though in this case having one, or each, of two contr. meanings, unless, as I believe it to be, the mouth, or outlet, of a valley or water-course or torrent-bed be sometimes called its رأس as being its foremost part]: (TA:) and of a street, it is the place of egress, or exit; (Msb;) the foremost part thereof: (TA:) and of a road, it is the فَم [or mouth], which is the upper part thereof (اعلاه): (Msb: [thus in my copy; but I think that اعلاه is a mistranscription, in my copy, for أَوَّلُهُ, and that the correct meaning is therefore the foremost part thereof, agreeably with what is said above in relation to a road and to a river or rivulet:]) but accord. to some, ↓ فُوهَةٌ, without teshdeed, is not allowable; and one should say, الطَّرِيقِ قَعَدَ عَلَى فُوَّهَةٍ, and ↓ فُوَّهِهِ [probably, I think, a mistranscription for فوهِهِ, with the و quiescent, both meaning He sat at the mouth of the road]; not ↓ فُوهَتِهِ, without teshdeed: (TA:) and فُوَّهَةٌ signifies also (assumed tropical:) the first, or foremost, part, of a thing; (K, TA;) like that of the street and that of the river or rivulet: [whence] one says, طَلَعَ عَلَيْنَا فُوَّهَةُ إِبِلِكَ i. e. (tropical:) The first, or foremost, portion of thy camels [came to us, or came forth upon us]; like the phrase فُوَّهَةُ الطَّرِيقِ: (TA:) the pl. of فُوَّهَةٌ is أَفْوَاهٌ, (Ks, S, Msb, TA,) which is anomalous, (S, Msb, TA,) and (TA) فُوَّهَاتٌ [in the CK فُوْهاتٌ] and فَوَائِهُ. (K, TA.) [Hence] one says, دَخَلُوا فِى أَفْوَاهِ البَلَدِ وَخَرَجُوا مِنْ أَرْجُلِهِ, (A, K, * TA,) in the copies of the K أَرْجُلِهَا, which is wrong, (TA,) i. e. (tropical:) They entered into the foremost parts of the country, or town, and went forth from the hindermost parts thereof: (A, K, TA:) the sing. of أَفْوَاه as here used is فُوَّهَةٌ. (TA.) A2: It signifies also A say, or saying, or speech; (S, K, TA;) from 1 in the first of the senses assigned to it above: hence one says, إِنَّ رَدَّ الفُوَّهَةِ لَشَدِيدٌ (S, TA) Verily the retracting of that which has been said is difficult: (Har p. 434:) and [hence] one says also, هُوَ يَخَافُ فُوَّهَةَ النَّاسِ [He fears the say, or speech, of men]. (TA.) b2: And The Muslims' rending one another's reputation by evil speech, or by backbiting; (K, TA;) as also ↓ فُوهَةً. (TA.) b3: إِنَّهُ لَذُو فُوَّهَةٍ means Verily he is strong in speech, and free, or unconstrained, in tongue. (TA.) b4: And one says, مَا أَشَدَّ فُوَّهَةَ بَعِيرِكَ فِى هٰذَا الكَلَأِ, meaning [How vehement is] thy camel's eating [of this herbage]! and in like manner, فُوَّهَةَ فَرَسِكَ [the vehement eating of thy horse]: whence their saying أَفْوَاهُهَا مَجَاسُّهَا [which may be well rendered as it has been in art. جس, q. v.], meaning Their good eating shows thee their fatness, causing thee to be in no need of feeling them to test their condition. (TA.) A3: And Milk, as long as there remains in it the taste of sweetness; (K, * TA;) as also ↓ فُوهَةٌ; and sometimes correctly said with ق, i. e. [قُوهَةٌ,] without teshdeed. (TA.) فَاوُوهَةٌ A man who reveals, or discloses, everything that is in his mind; as also ↓ فَاهٍ, (Fr, S, TA, [but omitted in one of my copies of the S,]) and ↓ فَاهٌ: (Fr, TA:) and بِجُوعِهِ ↓ فَاهٍ one who reveals his hunger; originally فَائِهٌ, like as they said هَارٍ and هَائِرٌ. (TA.) أَفْوَهُ Having what is termed فَوَهٌ, meaning as expl. in the last sentence of the first paragraph [i. e. width of the mouth, &c.]; fem. فَوْهَآءُ; (S, K, TA;) the former applied to a man, and the latter to a woman; (S, TA;) and in like manner to horses. (TA.) فَوْهَآءُ شَوْهَآءُ, applied to a woman, means Wide-mouthed, ugly: and, applied to a mare, wide-mouthed, long-headed: or sharp in spirit. (TA.) b2: [Hence,] بِئْرٌ فَوْهَآءُ A widemouthed well. (K.) b3: And طَعْنَةٌ فَوْهَآءُ A wide wound made by piercing. (K.) b4: And مَحَالَةٌ فَوْهَآءُ [A large sheave of a pulley] (S, K, TA) that is wide (K, TA) and (TA) whereof the teeth between which runs the well-rope are long. (S, TA.) [See also مَحَالَةٌ فَوْقَآءُ, in art. فوق.]

مُفَوَّهٌ and ↓ فَيِّهٌ, (S, K,) the latter originally فَيْوِهٌ, (S,) Eloquent; (S, K, TA;) and so فَيِّهَةٌ applied to a woman; (S, TA;) able in speech; an able speaker: or فَيِّهٌ signifies good in speech; a good speaker: (TA:) or both signify good and eloquent in speech; as though taken from الفَوَهُ meaning “ width of the mouth: ” (IAar, TA:) or having an inordinate desire, or appetite, for food; a vehement eater; (K, TA;) applied to a man and to other than man: (TA:) and the latter (فَيِّهٌ), having an inordinate and insatiable desire, or appetite, for food: (TA:) and this also signifies a man who eats much; syn. أَكُولٌ; (S, K;) and so does ↓ مُسْتَفِيهٌ: (K [in some copies of which, كوفى is strangely put in the place of اكول in the explanation here given]:) or ↓ مُسْتَفِيهٌ signifies a man eating vehemently after scantiness, (S,) or after weakness: (thus in a copy of the S:) and مُفَوَّهٌ is also expl. as meaning a man who eats vehemently. (TA.) And one says مِنْطِيقٌ مُفَوَّهٌ (K, TA) meaning [Very] eloquent in speech: (TA:) and مَنْطِقٌ مُفَوَّهٌ (K, TA) Good, or excel-lent, speech, or diction. (TA.) A2: شَرَابٌ مُفَوَّهٌ means [Beverage, or wine,] perfumed (K, TA.) with [the odoriferous substances called] أَفَاوِيهُ [pl. pl. of فُوهُ, q. v.]. (TA.) A3: And ثَوْبٌ مُفَوَّهٌ (Lth, K) and مُفَوًّى (K) A garment, or piece of cloth, dyed with فُوَّه [or فُوَّة, i. e. madder]. (Lth, K.) مُسْتَفِيهٌ: see the next preceding paragraph, in two places.

(S, TA.) b2: [Hence, it is used in the sense of] (tropical:) Power, or ability; as also ↓ ذِرَاعٌ; (TA;) or a man's reach, or extent of power or ability. (Msb.)

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.

(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.)

(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.

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.

(L.) [See also أَذْرَعُ.] b3: A lion having upon his arms the blood of his prey. (IAar.) b4: [A beast] struck in the uppermost part of his breast so that the blood has flowed upon his arms.

(TA.) وَلَقَدِ اخْتَرْنَاهُمْ عَلَى عِلْمٍ, in the Kur [xliv. 31, Verily we have chosen them with knowledge], may be indicative of God's producing good, or of his preferring them before others. (TA.) 10 استخار He sought, desired, or asked for, خِيرَة (S, Msb, K) or خِيَرَة (as in some copies of the K) [i. e. the blessing, prospering, or favour, of God; &c.].

خَيْرٌ [Good, moral or physical; anything that is good, real or ideal, and actual or potential; and, being originally an inf. n., used as sing and pl.;] a thing that all desire; such as intelligence, for instance, and equity; (Er-Rághib, and so in some copies of the K;) [or goodness;] and excellence; and what is profitable or useful; benefit; (Er-Rághib;) contr. of شَرٌّ: (S, A, Msb:) pl. خُيُورٌ, (Msb, K,) and also, accord. to the Msb, ↓ خِيَارٌ: (TA:) [but this latter seems to be properly pl. only of خَيْرٌ used as an epithet (see below) and as a noun denoting the comparative and superlative degrees: it may however be used as an epithet in which the quality of a subst. is predominant:] خير is of two kinds: namely, absolute خير, which is what is desired in all circumstances and by every person: and what is خير [or good] to one and شرّ [or evil] to another; as, for instance, (Er-Rághib,) wealth, or property: (Zj, L in art. شد, Er-Rághib, K:) it has this last signification, namely wealth, or property, in the Kur, ii. 176 (S, TA) and ii. 274 and xxiv. 33 and xli. 49: or in the first and second of these instances it is thus called to imply the meaning of wealth, or property, that has been collected in a praiseworthy manner, or it means much wealth or property; and this is its meaning in the first of the instances mentioned above, agreeably with a trad. of 'Alee; and also in the Kur, c. 8: (TA:) [being used as a pl. (as well as a sing.), it may be also rendered good things:] and it is also used by the Arabs to signify horses; (K, * TA;) and has this meaning in the Kur, xxxviii. 31: (TA:) [it is often best rendered good fortune; prosperity; welfare; wellbeing; weal; happiness; or a good state or condition: and sometimes bounty, or beneficence.] رَجُلٌ قَلِيلُ الخَيْرِ means [A man possessing little, or no, good; possessing few, or no, good things; or poor: and in whom is little, or no, good or goodness; or niggardly: and also] a man who does little good: (TA in art. عص:) or [who does no good;] who is not near to doing good; denoting the nonexistence of good in him. (Msb in art. قل.) [Thus it sometimes means the same as رَجُلٌ لَا خَيْرَ فِيهِ A man in whom is no good or goodness; devoid of goodness; worthless.] And قِلَّةُ خَيْرٍ means Poverty: and also niggardliness. (A and TA in art. جحد.) هُوَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الخَيْرِ وَالخِيرِ is explained voce خِيرٌ.

عَلَىيَدَىِ الخَيْرِ وَاليُمْنِ [May it be with the aid of good fortune and prosperity] is a prayer used with respect to a marriage. (A 'Obeyd, TA.) And إِنَّكَ مَا وَخَيْرًا means مَعَ خَيْرٍ, i. e., Mayest thou meet with, or attain, good. (K.) b2: خَيْرٌ in the phrase فُلَانٌ خَيْرٌ resembles an epithet [like ↓ خَيِّرٌ, and signifies Good; or possessing good]; (Akh, S;) therefore the fem. is خَيْرَةٌ, of which the pl. is خَيْرَاتٌ, (Akh, S, Msb, *) as occurring in the Kur, lv. 70; and they do not [there] mean by it [the comparative or superlative signification of the measure] أَفْعَلُ: (Akh, S:) you say ↓ رَجُلٌ خَيِّرٌ, (S, A, Msb,) meaning [A good man; or] a man possessing خَيْر [or good]; (Msb;) and رَجُلٌ خَيْرٌ: (S:) and in like manner, ↓ اِمْرَأَةٌ خَيِّرَةٌ and خَيْرَةٌ, (S, Msb,) meaning [A good woman; or] a woman excellent in beauty and disposition: (Msb:) or خَيْرٌ and ↓ خَيِّرٌ signify possessing much خَيْر [or good], (K,) applied to a man; (TA;) and in the same sense you say ↓ رَجُلٌ خَيْرَى, and ↓ خُورَى, and ↓ خِيَرى: and the fem. of the first is خَيْرَةٌ; and of the second, ↓ خَيِّرَةٌ: (K:) and the pl. [of pauc.] (of the first, TA) is أَخْيَارٌ, and [of mult.] خِيَارٌ: (A, Msb, K:) you say also خِيَارُ المَالِ, meaning The excellent of the camels or the like: (Msb, K:) and in like manner you say of men &c.: (TA:) [see also below:] and the fem. is خَيْرَةٌ, of which the pl. is خَيْرَاتٌ: (Msb:) خِيَارٌ is contr. of أَشْرَارٌ, (S, Mgh,) [thus] used as an epithet: (Mgh:) and ↓ خَيْرَةٌ [used as a subst.] signifies anything excellent; and the pl. thereof in this sense, خَيْرَاتٌ, occurs in the Kur, ix. 89: (S:) or خَيْرٌ, (K,) or the fem. خَيْرَةٌ, (Lth,) or each, (K.) signifies excellent in beauty: (Lth, K:) and ↓ خَيِّرٌ and خَيِّرَةٌ signify excellent in righteousness (Lth, K) and religion: (K:) or there is no difference in the opinion of the lexicologists [in general] between خَيْرَةٌ and ↓ خَيِّرَةٌ: (Az:) accord. to Zj, خَيْرَاتٌ and ↓ خَيِّرَاتٌ, both occurring in different readings of the Kur, lv. 70, signify good in dispositions: accord. to Khálid Ibn-Jembeh, خَيْرَةٌ, applied to a woman, signifies generous in race, exalted in rank or quality or reputation, goodly in face, good in disposition, possessing much wealth, who, if she bring forth, brings forth a generous child: (TA:) [↓ خِيَارٌ is also applied as an epithet to a sing. subst., either masc. or fem.:] you say جَمَلٌ خِيَارٌ and نَاقَةٌ خِيَارٌ, meaning A he-camel [that is excellent or] excellent and brisk and so a she-camel. (TA.) See also مُخْتَارٌ, in three places. In the saying لَعَمَرُ أَبِيكَ الخَيْرُ, the word خَيْر is in the nom. case as an epithet of عَمْر; [so that the phrase lit. means By the good life of thy father;] but properly it should be لَعَمْرُ أَبِيكَ الخَيْرِ [By the life of thy good father]: and the like is said with شَرّ. (TA.) [See also art. عمر.]

b3: خَيْرٌ is also used to denote superiority: one says, هٰذَا خَيْرٌ مِنْ هٰذَا This is better than this: and in the dial. of the Benoo-'Ámir, ↓ هٰذَا أَخْيَرُ مِنْ هٰذَا, with أ, and in like manner, أَشَّرُ; but the rest of the Arabs drop the أ in each case: (Msb:) you say, مِنْكَ ↓ هُوَ أَخْيَرُ [He is better than thou], and in like manner, أَشَّرُ مِنْكَ; and هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنْكَ, and in like manner, شَرٌّ مِنْكَ; and, [using the dim. form of خَيْرٌ,] مِنْكَ ↓ خُيَيْرٌ, and in like manner, شُرَيْرٌ مِنْكَ. (Ibn-Buzurj, TA.) Youalso say, when you mean to express the signification of superiority, فُلَانَةٌ خَيْرُ النَّاسِ [Such a woman is the best of mankind]; but not خَيْرَةُ: [see, however, what will be found cited hereafter from the K,] and فُلَانٌ خَيْرُ النَّاسِ [Such a man is the best of mankind]; but not ↓ أَخْيَرُ [unless in the dial. of the Benoo-'Ámir]: and [it is said that] خَيْرُ when thus used does not assume the dual form nor the pl., because it has the signification of [the measure] أَفْعَلُ: for though a poet uses the dual form, he uses it as a contraction of the dual of خَيِّرٌ, like مَيْتٌ and مَيِّتٌ, and هَيْنٌ and هَيِّنٌ: (S:) [but. this remark in the S is incorrect: for both خَيْر and ↓ أَخْيَر, when used in such phrases as those to which J here refers, have pl. forms of frequent occurrence, and of which examples will be found below; and, as is said by I 'Ak (p. 239), and by many other grammarians, you may say, الزَّيْدَانِ أَفْضَلَا القَوْمِ, and الزَّيْدُونَ أَفْضَلُو القَوْمِ and أَفَاضِلُ القَوْمِ, and also هِنْدُ فُضْلَىالنِّسَآءِ, &c.; and such concordance is found in the Kur, vi. 123; and is even said by many to be more chaste than the mode prescribed by J:] it is said in the K, that you say, ↓ هُوَ أَخْيَرُ مِنْكَ, like خَيْرُ; and when you mean the signification of superiority, you say فُلَانٌ خَيْرَةٌ النَّاسِ, with ة, and فُلَانَةُ خَيْرُهُمْ, without ة: but [SM says,] I know not how this is; for in the S is said what is different from this, and in like manner by Z in several places in the Ksh; and what is most strange is, that the author of the K quotes in the B the passage of J [from the S], and adopts the opinion of the leading authorities [as given in the S]: (TA:) or you say, فُلَانَةُ الخَيْرَةُ مِنَ المَرْأَتَيْنِ [Such a woman is the better of the two women]: and هِىَ الخَيْرَةُ, and ↓ الخِيرَةُ, [so in the TA, but in the CK الخِيَرَةُ,] and ↓ الخِيرَى, and ↓ الخُورَى, [the last being fem. of أَخْيَرُ, originally خُيْرَى, and so, app., the last but one, She is the better, or best:] (K:) and [using the dim. form of خَيْرٌ] you say, أَهْلِهِ ↓ هُوَ خُيَيْرُ [He is the best of his family]: (Ibn-Buzurj, TA:) one says also, to one coming from a journey, خَيْرَ مَا رُدَّ فِى أَهْلٍ

وَمَالٍ, meaning May God make that with which thou comest [back] to be the best of what is brought back by the absent with family and property; (As, Meyd, TA;) or, as some relate it, خَيْرُ, i. e. رَدُّكَ خَيْرُ رَدٍّ [may thy bringing back be the best bringing back]; and فى is used in the sense of مَعَ: (Meyd:) [أَخْيَارٌ is pl. of pauc., and خِيَارٌ pl. of mult., and so app. is خِيرَانٌ, of خَيْرٌ thus used; and ↓ أَخَايِرُ is pl. of أَخْيَرُ, and so is أَخْيَرُونَ applied to rational beings: in the TA, أَخَايِرُ is said to be a pl. pl. of أَخْيَرُ, and so خِيرَانٌ; but this is app. a mistake, probably of transcription:] you say رَجُلٌ مِنْ خِيَارِ النَّاسِ and أَخْيَارِهِمْ and ↓ أَخَايِرِهِمْ [A man of the best of mankind]: (A, TA:) and لَكَ خِيَارُ هٰذِهِ الإِبِلِ, and ↓ خِيرَتُهَا, [Thine are, or is, or shall be, the best of these camels,] alike with respect to a sing. and a pl.: (TA:) and إِبِلِهِ ↓ نَحَرَ خِيرَةَ and إِبِلِهِ ↓ خُورَةَ [He slaughtered the best of his camels]: (IAar, TA:) and ↓ هُمُ الأَخْيَرُونَ [They (meaning men) are the better, or best]. (Ibn-Buzurj, TA.) A2: مَا خَيْرَ for مَا أَخْيَرَ: see 4, in two places.

A3: خَيْرُ بَوَّآءُ [from the Persian خِيرْبُوَا Lesser cardamom;] a kind of small grain, resembling the قَاقُلَّة [or common cardamom], (K,) of sweet odour. (TA.) خِيرٌ Generousness; generosity; (S, A, Msb, K;) liberality; munificence. (Msb.) You say, فُلَانٌ ذُو خِيرٍ Such a one is a possessor of generousness, or generosity, &c. (Msb.) And هُوَ مِنْ وَالخِيرِ ↓ أَهْلِ الخَيْرِ [He is of the people of good, or of wealth, &c., and of generosity]. (A.) b2: Eminence; elevated state or condition; nobility. (IAar, K.) b3: Origin.

خِيرَةٌ: see خَيْرٌ, in three places, towards the end of the paragraph: b2: and see خِيَرَةٌ, in four places: b3: and خِيَارٌ. b4: It is also a subst. from خَارَاللّٰهُ لَكَ فِىهٰذَاالأَمْرِ, (S,) and so ↓ خِيَرَةٌ; both signifying [The blessing, prospering, or favour, of God; his causing one to have, or appointing to one, good in an affair: or his choosing for one the better thing in an affair: or] the state that results to him who begs God to cause him to have good, or to choose for him the better thing, in an affair. (TA.) You say, كَانَ ذٰلِكَ خِيرَةً مِنَ اللّٰهِ [That was through God's blessing, prospering, or favour; &c.: or through God's choosing the better thing in the affair]. (A.) خِيَرَةٌ and ↓ خِيرَةٌ (of which the former is the better known, TA) are substs. from اِخْتَارَهُ, (K,) or from اِخْتَارَهُ اللّٰهُ, (S,) both signifying A thing, man, or beast, and things, &c, that one chooses: (TA:) or [a thing, &c.,] chosen, selected, or elected: (Mgh:) as in the saying, مُحَمَّدُ خِيَرَةُ اللّٰهِ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ and ↓ خِيرَتُهُ [Mohammad is the chosen, or elect, of God, from his creatures]: (S, Mgh: *) or ↓ خِيرَةٌ is a subst. from الاِخْتِيَارٌ, like فِدْيَةٌ from الاِفْتِدَآءُ; and خِيَرَةٌ is syn. with خِيَارٌ and اِخْتِيَارٌ; or is from تَخَيَّرْتُ الشَّىْءَ: or, as some say, خِيرَةٌ and خِيَرَةٌ are syn.: (Msb:) see 8; and see also خِيَارٌ: and ↓ هٰذِهِ خِيرَتِى (Msb, TA) or خِيَرَتِى (TA) means This is what I choose; (Msb, (TA;) and so هٰذَا خيرتى: and هٰؤُلَآءِ خيرتى

خِيَارٌ a subst. from الاِخْتِيَارُ; (S, Mgh, K;) meaning Choice, or option; (Msb;) and so ↓ خِيَرَةٌ in the Kur [xxviii. 68], مَاكَانَ لَهُمُ الخِيَرَةُ They have not choice, or option; (Mgh;) or the meaning of these words is, it is not for them to choose in preference to God; (Fr, Zj;) and so, accord. to Lth, ↓ خِيرَةٌ, as being an inf. n. [or rather a quasi-inf. n., though this seems doubtful,] of اختار. (TA.) You say, إِنَّ فِى الشَّرِّ خِيَارًا [Verily in evil there is a choice, or an option]; i. e. what may be chosen: a prov. (TA.)

[See also خِيَرَةٌ.] The dim. of مُخْتَارٌ is ↓ مُخَيِّرٌ: the ت is thrown out because it is augmentative; and the ى is changed into ى because it was changed from ى in مختار: (S:) one should not say مُخَيْتِيرٌ.

خدع

1 خَدَعَهُ, (TA,) [aor. ـَ inf. n. خَدْعٌ, (Bd in ii. 8,) He hid it, or concealed it; (TA;) as also ↓ اخدعه, (Msb, TA,) inf. n. إِخْدَاعٌ. (TA.) b2: [And hence, app.,] (Lh, K,) inf. n. as above, (Lh,) (tropical:) He doubled it, or folded it, one part upon another; namely, a garment, or piece of cloth. (Lh, K, TA.) b3: [And hence, also, accord. to some,] خَدَعَهُ, aor. ـَ inf. n. خَدْعٌ (S, Mgh, Msb, K) and خِدْعٌ, (Az, S, K,) or the latter is a simple subst., (Msb, TA,) and خَدِيعَةٌ, (TA,) or this [also] is a simple subst., (Msb, TA,) like خِدَاعٌ, [which is also an inf. n. of 3,] and like خُدٌعَةٌ, (TA,) He deceived, deluded, beguiled, circumvented, or outwitted, him; syn. خَتَلَهُ; (S, Mgh, K;) and desired to do to him a foul, an abominable, or an evil, action, without his knowing whence it proceeded: (S, K:) or he dissembled [or acted deceitfully] with him; pretended to him the contrary of what he concealed: (TA:) or he made him to resign, or relinquish, the object that he had in view, by pretending to him something the contrary of what he concealed: (Er-Rághib, B:) and ↓ خادعهُ, (S, TA,) inf. n. مُخَادَعَةٌ (S) [and خِدَاعٌ], signifies the same; (S, * TA;) as also ↓ اختدعهُ; and ↓ تخدّعهُ; and ↓ خدّعهُ, inf. n. تَخْدِيعٌ: (TA:) or this last signifies he deceived him, deluded him, beguiled him, circumvented him, or outwitted him, much: (KL:) [and of another of these verbs we find the following various explanations:] ↓ خادعهُ is syn. with كَايَدَهُ [which has the first of the meanings assigned in this sentence to خَدَعَهُ; or signifies he practised with him mutual deceit, delusion, guile, or circumvention; he deceived him, &c., being deceived, &c., by him; and this latter meaning, if not each meaning, may be intended here by كايده; for Bd says, (in ii. 8,) that مُخَادَعَة is between two]: (TA:) or it signifies he strove, endeavoured, or desired, to deceive, delude, beguile, circumvent, or outwit, him; (AAF, L;) [agreeably with what is said by Kemál Páshá Zádeh, (as I find in a marginal note in a copy of the MS, and also in the Kull p. 178,) that one says of a man خادع when he has not attained his desire, and خَدَعَ when he has attained his desire;] for many a verb of the measure فَاعَلَ relates to one only; as in the instances of عَاقَبْــتُ اللِّصَّ and طَارَقْتُ النَّعْلَ: (L:) or it signifies, [like خَدَعَهُ,] he pretended to him something different from that which was in his mind. (K.) It is said in the Kur [ii. 8], اللّٰهَ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا ↓ يُخَادِعُونَ, (TA,) meaning They pretend, to God and to those who have believed, something different from that which is in their minds, by concealing unbelief and pretending belief; for when they do thus to the believers, they do thus to God: (K:) and again, [in iv. 141], اللّٰهَ وَهُوَ خَادِعُهُمْ ↓ يُخَادِعُونَ [They strive, endeavour, or desire, to deceive God, or] they think that they deceive God, but He is [their deceiver, i. e.,] the requiter, to them, of their خِدَاع [or deceit, &c.]: (TA:) or the meaning is [they deceive] the friends of God: (S:) and [agreeably with this last rendering, and that given in the K,] Aboo-Hayáh reads, in the former passage, يَخْدَعُونَ اللّٰهَ: (TA:) [which passage continues thus:] إِلَّا أَنْفُسَهُمْ ↓ وَمَا يُخَادِعُونَ [but they do not deceive any save themselves]; i. e., the re-sult of their خِدَاع [or deceit] does not befall any save themselves: (K:) here, again, Aboo-Hayáh reads يَخْدَعُونَ: (TA:) Muärrik reads وَمَا

↓ يَخَدِّعُونَ, meaning يَخْتَدِعُونَ. (K.) Accord. to IAar, الخَدْعُ signifies مَنْعُ الحَقِّ [meaning The preventing from discovering, or accepting, the truth]. (L.) [“ He deceived him,” or the like, seems to be generally regarded as the primary signification of خَدَعَهُ, for it occupies the first place in all the lexicons to which I have access: but Bd says (in ii. 8) that this meaning is from خَدَعَ said of the ضَبِّ, and that the primary signification of خَدْعٌ is the act of “ concealing: ” the action of the ضبّ, however, as will appear in what follows, implies, and originates from, a desire of deceit; and so, often, does the act of concealing.] b4: [Hence, app.,] خَدَعْتُهُ I gained the mastery over him. (TA.) b5: خَدَعَ, (Lth, TA, &c.,) aor. ـَ inf. n. خَدْعٌ, (TA,) said of a [lizard of the kind called] ضَبّ, [as though meaning either خَدَعَ المُحْتَرِشَ It deceived the hunter, or خَدَعَ نَفْسَهُ it concealed itself,] signifies it entered into its hole; (Lth;) as also خَدَعَ فِى حُجْرِهِ: (S, K:) or it scented a man, and therefore entered its hole, in order that it might not be caught; as also ↓ انخدع: (TA:) or it entered into its hole in a tortuous manner: and in like manner, a gazelle into its covert: but mostly said of a ضبّ: (Abu-l-'Omeythil:) also said of other things: (Lth:) of a fox, meaning he took to going to the right and left, deceitfully, or guilefully: and of a man, meaning he hid himself from another: and he assumed a disposition not his own. (TA.) [See also خِدَاعٌ, below.] b6: Hence, i. e. from خَدَعَ said of the ضبّ, (A, TA,) خَدَعَتْ عَيْنُ الشَّمْسِ (tropical:) The disc of the sun set; (A, K, TA;) like خَضَعَتْ. (TA in art. خضع.) b7: [And] خَدَعَتْ عَيْنُهُ (tropical:) His eye sank, or became depressed, in his head. (Lh, K, TA.) [Also meaning (assumed tropical:) His eye did not sleep: for] خَدَعَتِ العَيْنُ signifies (assumed tropical:) the eye did not sleep. (TA.) b8: [Hence also, as indicated in the S,] مَا خَدَعَتْ فِى عَيْنِى نَعْسَةٌ (assumed tropical:) [A slumber did not enter my eye]: (S:) or مَا خَدَعَتْ بِعَيْنِهِ نَعْسَةٌ, (so in the L,) or خَدْعَةٌ, i. e. نَعْسَةٌ, (so in the TA,) meaning (tropical:) a slumber did not pass by his eye. (L, TA.) [And from the same source have originated several other tropical significations, of which exs. here follow.] b9: خَدَعَتِ الأُمُورِ (tropical:) The affairs varied in their state; or were, or became, variable. (Ibn-'Abbád, K.) b10: خَدَعَتِ السُّوقُ, (S, K,) inf. n. خَدْعٌ, (TA,) (tropical:) [The market varied in its state; at one time being brisk, and at another time dull, in respect of traffic: (see خَادِعٌ, below:) or] the market became dull in respect of traffic; (S, K;) as also ↓ انخدعت; (Lh, TA;) or انخدع: (K: [but سوق is generally fem.:]) and, as some say, it became brisk in respect of traffic: thus it appears to have two contr. significations: (TA:) and خَدَعَ السِّعْرُ (tropical:) The price became high, or dear. (TA.) b11: Said of a man, خَدَعَ also signifies (tropical:) His wealth, (K, TA,) and the like, (TA,) became small in amount, or little. (K, TA.) b12: Said of a time, inf. n. خَدْعٌ, (tropical:) Its rain became little: (TA:) and of rain, (tropical:) It became little. (K, TA.) b13: Said of spittle, or saliva, (tropical:) It dried: (S, K, TA:) or it became little, and dried, in the mouth: (A, TA.) or it became deficient; and when it becomes deficient, it becomes thick; and when it becomes thick, it becomes stinking: (TA:) or it became corrupt: (IAar, TA:) and in like manner, said of a thing, it became corrupt, or bad.

(Mgh: and similar exs. are given in the TA, from three trads.: see also an ex. voce إِنَّ.) b6: Also The rain of the season so called: (S, K:) or the rain, (JK,) or the first of the rain, (K,) in the beginning of the شِتَآء [or winter], (JK, K,) which comes at the time of the cutting off of the fruit of the palmtrees: then follows the وَسْمِىّ, at the coming in of the winter; then, the رَبِيع; then, the صَيْف; and then, the حَمِيم: so says As: El-Ghanawee says that the خريف is between the [auroral] rising of الشِّعْرَى [or Sirius, which commenced, in central Arabia, about the epoch of the Flight, on the 13th of July, O. S.,] and the [auroral] setting of العَرْقُوَتَانِ [or الفَرْغَانِ, the 26th and 27th of the Mansions of the Moon, commencing, in the same region and period, on the 8th and 21st of Sept., O. S., and continuing thirteen days]: El-Ghowr and Rekeeyeh [? (imperfectly written)] and El-Hijáz are all rained upon by the خريف; but Nejd is not: Az says, the first rain is the وَسْمِىّ; the follows the شَتَوِىّ; then, the دَفَئِىّ; then, the صَيْف; then, the حَمِيم; then, the خَرِيف: and therefore the year is made to consist of six seasons: accord. to AHn, [who seems in this matter to differ from most others,] الخريف is not originally the name of the division of the year; but the name of the rain of the قَيْظ [or summer]; and then the season was named thereby. (TA.) [See also نَوْءٌ.] b7: [Also The herbage of the season so called, or of the rain so called; like as رَبِيعٌ signifies the “ herbage of the season, or of the rain, so called. ” So in the phrase used by Khálid Ibn-Jebeleh (in explaining the word خَرُوف), مَا رَعَى الخَرِيفَ Such as pastures upon the خريف.] b8: Also, accord. to AA, (TA,) A rivulet, streamlet, or small channel for irrigation.

(Mgh, K.) b2: Hence خُرَافَاتٌ meaning Stories that are deemed pretty: similar to فُكَاهَةٌ from فَاكِهَةٌ: (Mgh:) [or] خُرَافَةُ was the name of a man, (S, Mgh, K,) of [the tribe of] 'Odhrah, (S, K,) whom the Jinn (or Genii) fascinated, (S, Mgh, K,) as the Arabs assert, (Mgh,) and carried off, (TA,) and who related what he had seen, (S, Mgh, K,) of them, when he returned, (Mgh,) and they pronounced him a liar, and said, (S, Mgh, K,) of a thing that was impossible, (Mgh,) حَدِيثُ خُرَافَةَ [a story of Khuráfeh]: (S, Mgh, K:) but it is related of the Prophet, that he said, خُرَافَةُ حَقٌّ, (S, Mgh,) meaning What Khuráfeh relates [as heard] from the Jinn [is true]: (Mgh:) the ر is without teshdeed; and the article ال is not prefixed, because the word is determinate [by itself], unless one mean thereby خُرَافَاتٌ as signifying fictictious night-stories: (S:) or خُرَافَةٌ signifies a fictitious story that is deemed pretty: (Lth, K:) [and ↓ أَخَارِيفُ app. signifies the same as خُرَافَاتٌ, as though its sing. were أُخْرُوفَةٌ, like as أَسَاطِيرُ and أَحَادِيثُ, which have similar meanings, are pls. of which the sings. are said to be أَسْطُورَةٌ and أُحْدُوثَةٌ:] see 1, last signification.

خَرُوفَةٌ: see what next follows.

خَرِيفَةٌ and ↓ خَرُوفَةٌ A palm-tree (نَخْلَةٌ) of which a man gathers, or plucks, the fruit for himself and his household; as also ↓ مَخْرَفٌ: (AHn:) or a palm-tree which one takes for the picking up of its fresh ripe dates: (Sh, O, K:) or the latter signifies a palm-tree of which the fruit is cut off; being of the measure فَعُولَةٌ in the sense of the measure مَفْعُولَةٌ: and the former is said to signify one that is set apart for its fruit that is [to be] gathered, or plucked: (TA:) or a selected palm-tree: (JK:) and its pl. is خَرَائِفُ: (JK, TA:) or خَرَائِفُ signifies palmtrees whereof the quantity of the fruit that is upon them is computed by conjecture. (Az, S, K. [See also خَرِيفٌ.]) Also, the former, [A palm-tree set in the manner described in the following explanation:] one's digging, for a palm-tree, in a water-course, or channel of a torrent, in which are pebbles, until reaching hard ground, and then filling up the hollow with sand, and setting the palm-tree therein. (O, K.) خَارِفٌ A keeper, or watcher, of palm-tree: (K:) pl. خُرَّافٌ. (TA.) أَخَارِيفُ: see خُرَافَةٌ; and see 1, last signification.

[It is there added, “as though formed from أَخْرَفُوا, by the rejection of the augmentative letter: ” but it is rather to be regarded as regularly formed, from خَرَفُوا: see 1.]) b2: Also A garden; (Mgh, TA;) and so ↓ مَخْرَفَةٌ: (S, K:) or a garden of palm-trees; as also ↓ مَخْرِفٌ and ↓ مَخْرَفَةٌ: (TA:) a single palm-tree: or a few palm-trees, up to ten; more than these being termed a بُسْتَان or a حَدِيقَة: (El-Harbee, TA:) see also خَرِيفَةٌ: or a small collection of palmtrees, six or seven, which a man purchases for the fruit that is [to be] gathered, or plucked: or any collection of palm-trees: (L, TA:) or a walled garden of palm-trees: (IAth, TA:) or palm-trees [absolutely]: (Mgh:) and an avenue between two rows of palm-trees, such that one may gather, or pluck, the fruit from whichever of them he will; (K;) as also ↓ مَخْرَفَةٌ: (Sh, K:) and, (S, Mgh, K,) as also ↓ مَخْرَفَةٌ, (S, K,) a road, (S, Mgh, K,) such as is conspicuous, clear, or open: (K:) pl. مَخَارِفُ. (Mgh, TA.) It is said in a trad., عَائِدُ المَرِيضِ عَلَى مَخَارِفِ الجَنَّةِ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ, i. e. The visitor of the sick is as though he were in the gardens of Paradise until he returns: or upon the palm-trees of Paradise; gathering, or plucking, their fruits: or upon the roads of Paradise: (Mgh, * TA:) or, as some relate it, الجنّةِ ↓ على مَخْرَفَةِ. (TA. [See also another explanation, and other readings in what follows.]) And it is said in a trad. of 'Omar, النَّعَمِ ↓ تَرَكْتُكُمْ عَلَى مَخْرَفَةِ, (S,) or تُرِكْتُمْ, (TA,) i. e. [I have left you, or ye have been left,] upon a conspicuous road, like the road of the camels, (As, S, * TA,) which they have trodden with their feet so that it has become plainly apparent. (As, TA.) b3: Also Gathered, or plucked, fruit of palm-trees: (As, A 'Obeyd, IAmb, K:) a correct meaning, though IKt says that the proper word in this sense is only مَخْرُوفٌ: it is like مَشْرَبٌ and مَطْعَمٌ and مَرْكَبٌ as meaning مَشْرُوبٌ and طَعَامٌ مَأْكُولٌ and مَرْكُوبٌ; and may signify fresh ripe dates gathered or plucked: (IAmb, TA:) pl. as above. (As, &c.) So in the former of the two trads. mentioned above accord. to As and A 'Obeyd: (TA:) and this interpretation is corroborated by another reading, i. e., على الجنّةِ ↓ خُرْفَةِ: (Mgh:) another reading is, فِى

الجنّةِ ↓ خِرَافِ: [see خَرَافٌ:] and another, لَهُ فِى الجَنَّةِ ↓ خَرِيفٌ, i. e. [The visitor of the sick shall have] gathered fruits in Paradise. (TA.) مَخْرِفٌ: see the next preceding paragraph.

(A, TA.) One says, خَرَجُوا إِلَى المَخَارِفِ بالمَخَارِفِ, i. e. They went forth to the gardens with the baskets (زُبُل) [for gathering fruit]. (A, TA.) b2: And hence, (assumed tropical:) The basket (زنبيل) in which the importunate beggar puts his food. (Har ubi suprà.) مَخْرَفَةٌ: see مَخْرَفٌ, in six places.
