applied to a man &c.: (IAth:) fem., in the same sense, حَمْرَآءُ: the dim. of which, ↓ حُمَيْرَآءُ, occurs in a trad., applied to 'Áïsheh. (K, * TA.) So, accord. to some, in the trad., بُعِثْتُ إِلَى الأَحْمَرِ وَالأَسْوَدِ, (TA,) i. e. I have been sent to the white and the black; because these two epithets comprise all mankind: (Az, TA:) [therefore, by the former we should understand the white and the red races; and by the latter, the negroes: but some hold that by the former are meant the foreigners, and] by the latter are meant the Arabs. (TA.) One says also, [when speaking of Arabs and more northern races,] أَتَانِى كُلُّ أَسْوَدَ مِنْهُمْ وَأَحْمَرَ, meaning Every Arab of them, and foreigner, came to me: and one should not say, in this sense, أَبْيَضَ. (AA, As, S.) الحَمْرَآءُ, also, is applied to The foreigners (العَجَمُ) [collectively]; (S, A, K;) because a reddish white is the prevailing hue of their complexion: (S:) or the Persians and Greeks: or those foreigners mostly characterized by whiteness of complexion; as the Greeks and Persians. (TA.) You say, لَيْسَ فِى

الحَمْرَآءِ مِثْلُهُ There is not among the foreigners (العَجَم) the like of him. (A.) And accord. to some, الأَحْمَرُ وَالأَبْيَضُ means The Arabs and the foreigners. (TA.) الحَمْرَآءُ [so in the TA, but correctly أَبْنَآءُ الحَمْرَآءِ,] is an appellation applied to Emancipated slaves: and اِبْنُ حَمْرَآءِ الــعِجَانِ, meaning Son of the female slave, is an appellation used in reviling and blaming.

(ISd, K.) b6: الأَحْمَرُ A sort of dates: (K:) so called because of their colour. (TA.) b7: الأَحْمَرُ وَالأَبْيَضُ Gold and silver. (TA.) And الأَحْمَرَانِ Flesh-meat and wine; (S, A, K;) said to destroy men: (S:) so in the saying, نَحْنُ مِنْ أَهْلِ الأَسْوَدَيْنِ لَا الأَحْمَرَيْنِ We are of the people of dates and water, not of flesh-meat and wine: (A:) or the beverage called نَبِيذ and flesh-meat. (IAar.) Also Wine and [garments of the kind called] بُرُود. (Sh.) and Gold and saffron; (Az, ISd, K;) said to destroy women; i. e. the love of ornaments and perfumes destroys them: (Az:) or these are called الأَصْفَرَانِ; (AO, TA;) and milk and water, الأَبْيَضَانِ; (TA;) and dates and water, الأَسْوَدَانِ. (A, TA.) And الأَحَامِرَةُ Flesh-meat and wine and [the perfume called] الخَلُوق: (S, K:) or gold and flesh-meat and wine; as also الأَخَاضِرُ: (TA in art. خضر:) or gold and saffron and الخَلُوق. (ISd, TA.) b8: المَوْتُ الأَحْمَرُ (assumed tropical:) Slaughter; (L, K;) because it occasions the flowing of blood: (TA:) and [so in the L, but in the K “ or ”] (tropical:) violent death: (S, A, L, K:) or death in which the sight of the man becomes dim by reason of terror, so that the world appears red and black before his eyes: (A 'Obeyd:) or it may mean (assumed tropical:) recent, fresh, death; from the phrase next following. (As.) b9: وَطْأَةٌ حَمْرَآءُ (tropical:) A new, or recent, footstep, or footprint: opposed to دَهْمَآءُ. (As, S, A.) b10: سَنَةٌ حَمْرَآءُ (tropical:) A severe year; (S, K;) because it is a mean between the سَوْدَآء and the بَيْضآء: or a year of severe drought; because, in such a year, the tracts of the horizon are red: (TA:) when الجَبْهَةُ [the tenth Mansion of the Moon (see مَنَازِلُ القَمَرِ in art. نزل)] breaks its promise [of bringing rain], the year is such as is thus called. (AHn.) b11: See also حَمْرَآءُ voce حَمَارَّةٌ. b12: جَآءَ بِغَنَمِهِ حُمْرَ الكُلَى, and, in like manner, سُودَ البُطُونِ, (tropical:) He brought his sheep or goats, in a lean, or an emaciated, state. (A, * TA.) أَحْمَرِىٌّ: see أَحْمَرُ.

ضحل

1 ضَحَلَ, (O, K,) aor. ـَ (K,) said of water, It was, or became, shallow, (O, K, TA,) and little in quantity. (TA.) And said of a pool of water left by a torrent, Its water became little in quantity. (K.) 4 مَا أَضْحَلَ خَيْرَكَ means مَا أَقَلَّهُ [i. e. (assumed tropical:) How little, or scanty, is thy goodness, or bounty, or beneficence!]. (TA.) Q. Q. 4 اِضْمَحَلَّ, (S, O, K,) mentioned in the K in a separate art., its author, and some others, holding the م to be radical, but most of the leading authorities on inflection hold it, with J [and Sgh and Fei], to be augmentative; (TA;) and اِمْضَحَلَّ, (S, O, Msb, K,) of the dial. of the Kilá-bees, mentioned by Az, formed by transposition of the م; (S, O, TA;) and اِمْضَحَنَّ, (K,) formed by substitution, mentioned by Yaakoob; (TA;) It (a thing, S, O) went away; (S, O, Msb, K;) and came to nought. (Msb.) b2: And said of clouds (سَحَاب), They became removed, or cleared off. (S, O, Msb, K.) b3: And i. q. اِنْحَلَّ [It became untied, or undone, &c.]. (K.) ضَحْلٌ A small quantity of water, (S, M, O, K,) upon the ground, (M, K,) shallow, (M,) not deep; (K;) i. q. ضَحْضَاحٌ; (S, O;) or the latter has a more general meaning, applying to little or much: (TA:) accord. to some, such that the bottom of it appears: (MF, TA:) or a small quantity of water in a source, or fountain, and in a well, and in a hot spring, and the like; or in a pool left by a torrent, and the like: or water little in quantity; or near in place: (TA:) pl.

A mass of rock of which part is covered by the water and part is protruding; (O;) expl. [more fully and variously] in art. اتن; (K;) so called because the water does not cover it by reason of its paucity. (S, O.) b3: [Hence also,] one says, إِنَّ خَيْرَكَ لَضَحْلٌ i. e. [(assumed tropical:) Verily thy goodness, or bounty, or beneficence, is] little. (TA.) غَدِيرٌ ضَاحِلٌ A pool, left by a torrent, the water of which has become shallow and has then gone away. (Sh, TA.) مَضْحَلٌ The place of a ضَحْل: (M, TA:) or a place in which is little water: (O, K:) the mirage (سَرَاب) is likened thereto: (TA:) pl. مَضَاحِلُ; (O, TA;) to which Ru-beh, (O,) or El-'Ajjáj, (TA,) likens clouds. (O, * TA.) ضحو and ضحى 1 ضَحَا الطَّرِيقُ, (S, K,) aor. ـْ (S,) inf. n. ضَحْوٌ, (S, and so in the CK,) or ضُحُوٌّ, (so in other copies of the K and in the TA,) like عُلُوٌّ, thus accord. to ISd and IKtt, (TA,) and ضُحِىٌّ, (TA as from the K, [but not in the CK nor in my MS. copy of the K,]) The road appeared, or became apparent, (S, K,) to a person: so says Az: (S:) [and so, app., signifies ضَحِىَ, aor. ـْ for] As says, يُسْتَحَبُّ مِنَ الفَرَسِ أَنْ يَضْحَى عِجَانُــهُ i. e. [It is approved as a quality of the horse] that his عجان [q. v., a word variously expl.,] appear. (S, TA.) b2: ضَحِيَتِ اللّيْلَةُ The night was, or became, cloudless. (TA.) b3: ضَحِىَ الفَرَسَ The horse was, or became, white. (TA.) b4: ظِلُّهُ ضَحَا (tropical:) He died: (K, TA:) it [properly] means his shade, or shadow, became sun: and when a man's shade, or shadow, becomes sun, he himself becomes nought. (IAmb, TA.) b5: And ضَحَا and ضَحِىَ, aor. of each ـْ inf. n. ضَحْوٌ, (K, TA,) or, accord. to the M, ضُحُوٌّ, (TA,) and ضُحِىٌّ, He, or it, was smitten by the sun; or the sun came, or fell, upon him, or it: (K, TA:) or ضَحِىَ, aor. ـْ inf. n. ضَحًا; and ضَحَا, aor. ـْ inf. n. ضَحْوٌ and ضُحُوٌّ, he, or it, was smitten by the heat of the sun. (Ham p. 625.) Hence, in the Kur [xx. 117], لَا تَظْمَأُ فِيهَا وَلَا تَضْحَى [Thou shalt not thirst. therein nor shalt thou be smitten by the sun]; i. e., thou shalt be preserved from the heat of the sun. (TA.) b6: And ضَحَا, inf. n. ضَحْوٌ and ضُحُوٌّ and ضُحِىٌّ, He went forth to the sunshine; (K;) as also لِلشَّمْسِ ↓ استضحى; (TA;) [and app. ↓ تضحّى also; see Har p. 296, where, for النزول, in النزول للشمس as an explanation of التَّضَحِّى, I think we should read البُرُوزُ:] or ضَحِيتُ لِلشَّمْسِ, inf. n. ضَحَآءٌ; and ضَحَيْتُ also; aor. of each ـْ I went forth to the sunshine. (S.) أَضْحِ [the imperative of ↓ أَضْحَى] occurs in a trad., accord. to the relaters thereof: but As says that it is [correctly] اِضْحَ, with kesr to the ا and fet-h to the ح; from ضَحِيتُ; being a command to go forth to the sunshine. (S.) b7: And ضَحِىَ, (S, K,) inf. n. ضَحًى [or ضَحًا], He (a man, S) sweated. (S, K.) 2 ضَحَّيْنَاهُمْ is like صَبَّحْنَاهُمْ [i. e. it signifies We came to them in the time of the morning called الضُّحَى]: (TA:) and ↓ ضاحاهُ, (K, TA,) inf. n. مُضَاحَاةٌ, is similar to غَادَاهُ and رَاوَحَهُ, meaning, (TA,) He came to him in the time called الضُّحَى. (K, TA.) b2: ضحّى الغَنَمَ He pastured the sheep, or goats, in the time called الضُّحَى; (S, K, TA;) and in like manner, الإِبِلَ the camels. (TA.) And ضَحَّيْتُ الإِبِلَ عَنِ الوِرْدِ I pastured the camels with the [morning-pasture called] ↓ ضَحَآء, so that they might come to the water having satisfied themselves with food: and in like manner, عَشَّيْتُهَا عَنْهُ “ I pastured them with the [evening-pasture called] عَشَآء,” &c. (A, TA.) b3: [Hence,] ضَحَّيْتُهُ, inf. n. تَضْحِيَةٌ, I fed him in the time called الضُّحَى: (K, TA:) or I fed him with the [morning-meal called] غَدَآء, at any time [of the morning]; but more commonly known as meaning, in the time called الضُّحَى: and the verb primarily relates to camels [and sheep or goats]: or ضحّى قَوْمَهُ means he fed his people, or party, with the [morning-meal called] غَدَآء; or he invited them [thereto, i. e.] to his ضَحَآء. (TA.) b4: IAth says, when the Arabs, in their journeying, or migrating, passed by a piece of land in which was herbage, one of them said, أَلَا ضَحُّوا رُوَيْدًا, meaning [Now] be ye gentle with the camels ↓ حَتَّى نَتَضَحَّى i. e. in order that we may obtain of this herbage; then التَّضْحِيَةُ was applied to mean the being gentle in order that the camels may reach the place of alighting [app. in the morning] having satisfied themselves with food: and then ↓ تَضَحَّى was said of anyone as meaning he ate in the time called [الضُّحَى or] الضَّحَآء. (TA.) One says, ضَحَّيْتُ عَنِ الشَّىْءِ (assumed tropical:) I was gentle, or I acted gently, with the thing. (S.) And ضحّى عَنِ الأَمْرِ (tropical:) He acted gently, or deliberately, in the affair: and so عَشَّى عَنْهُ. (A, TA.) And ضَحِّ رُوَيْدًا, (S, A, TA,) a prov., (A, TA,) meaning (tropical:) Hasten thou not; (S, TA;) from تَضْحِيَةُ الإِبِلِ عَنِ الوِرْدِ: [see the third sentence of this paragraph:] or meaning be thou patient a little while: (TA:) or the meaning is, slaughter thou, or sacrifice thou, [deliberately, leisurely, or] without haste: (Meyd:) [for] b5: ضحّى, inf. n. تَضْحيَةٌ, signifies [also] He slaughtered, or sacrificed, the [victim termed] أُضْحِيَّة, in the time called الضُّحَى: and hence, by reason of frequency of usage, he did so in any time of what are termed أَيَّامُ التَّشْرِيقِ: (Msb:) and ضحّى

بِشَاةٍ, (S, Mgh, Msb, K,) or بِكَبْشٍ أَوْ غَيْرِهِ, (Mgh,) he slaughtered, or sacrificed, a sheep or goat, (S, Msb, K,) or a ram or other [victim], (Mgh,) in the time called الضُّحَى (Mgh, K) of the day called يَوْمُ الأَضْحَى; and afterwards said of him who has done so [at any time, even] in the last part of the [said] day. (Mgh.) A2: See also 4.

A3: and see 5.3 ضاحت البِلَدُ The countries, or lands, became exposed to the sun, and their herbage consequently dried up. (TA.) A2: ضاحاهُ: see 2, first sentence.4 اضحى He (a man, TA) entered upon the time of morning called الضُّحَى, (K, * TA,) or the time called الضَّحْوَة, (TA,) [or the time called الضَّحَآء, for] you say, أَقَمْتُ بِالمَكَانِ حَتَّى أَضْحَيْتُ, from الضَّحَآءُ [and therefore meaning I remained in the place until I entered upon the time called الضَّحَآء], like as you say أَصْبَحْتُ from الصَّبَاحُ. (S, TA.) Hence the saying of 'Omar, أَضْحُوا لِصَلَاةِ الضُّحَى, (S,) or بِصَلَاةِ الضُّحَى, (TA,) i. e. Perform ye the prayer of the time called الضحى at its [proper] time: do not delay it until the time called الضَّحَآء has become advanced: (TA:) or do not perform that prayer when the time called الضُّحَى has become advanced. (S.) b2: And you say, اضحى فُلَانٌ يَفْعَلُ كَذَا, (S, M, K,) like as you say ظَلَّ يفعل كذا; (S;) meaning Such a one became occupied, or engaged, in the time called الضُّحَى in doing such a thing: (M, K, TA:) or did such a thing in the first part of the day, (IKtt, TA.) b3: [This phrase often means also Such a one became occupied, or engaged, in doing such a thing; betook, set, or applied, himself to doing such a thing; set about, or commenced, doing such a thing; or began to do such a thing; like أَصْبَحَ and ظَلَّ &c. And, like these verbs, اضحى followed by an aor. , or by a part. n. in the accus. case, often requires to be rendered simply He, or it, became: see an ex. in a verse cited voce دَفِئٌ.] b4: اضحى also signifies He performed the supererogatory act of prayer (النَّافِلَة) in the time called الضُّحَى. (TA.) b5: See also 1, last sentence but one. b6: One says also, اضحى عَنِ الأَمْرِ, meaning (tropical:) He withdrew himself far from the affair. (TA. [See also another meaning of this phrase in what follows.]) And القَطا يُضْحِى عَنِ المَآءِ (tropical:) The birds called قطا go far from water. (TA.) A2: اضحى الشَّىْءَ He made apparent, showed, or revealed, the thing. (K, TA.) And عَنِ الأَمْرِ ↓ ضحّى He made the affair, or case, apparent, or manifest: and [so اضحى عَنْهُ, for] one says, أَضْحِ لِى عَنْ أَمْرِكَ, with fet-h to the ء, meaning Make manifest to me thy affair, or case: so in the M. (TA.) b2: لَا أَضْحَى

اللّٰهُ لَنَا ظِلَّكَ is a deprecatory phrase [lit. May God not cause thy shadow to become sun to us: meaning (assumed tropical:) may God not deprive us of thee by death: (see ضَحَا ظِلُّهُ:) or it may be similar in meaning to the phrase here following]. (TA.) لَا تُضْحِنَا عَنْ ظِلِّكَ [lit. Make us not to go forth into the sun from thy shadow] means (assumed tropical:) withdraw not from us the shadow of thy compassion: the verb being made trans. by means of عن because the phrase implies the meaning of لَا تُخْرِجْنَا مِنْهُ: and ظلّ being here used metaphorically. (Har p. 4.) 5 تَضحّى: see 1, latter half. b2: And see 2, in two places. It [generally] means He ate in the time of morning called الضُّحَى: (K:) or he ate the [morning-meal called] غَدَآء; syn. تَغَدَّى: (S, TA:) and ↓ ضحّى also has the former [or the latter] meaning. (ISd, TA.) 10 إِسْتَ1ْ2َ3َ see 1, latter half.

ضَحْوٌ: see the next paragraph.

(Fr, Msb.) Using it as an adv. noun, you say, لَقِيتُهُ ضُحَى, when you mean [I met him] in the ضحى of this day; without tenween. (S, TA.) See also ضَحْوَةٌ. [See also De Sacy's Chrest.

(M, TA.) One says, اِرْتَفَعَتِ الضَّحَى, meaning The sun became high. (Msb.) b3: and ضُحَى الشَّمْسِ The light of the sun: thus is expl. xci. 1. of the Kur. (TA.) b4: مَا لِكَلَامِهِ ضُحًى means (assumed tropical:) His speech, or language, has no perspicuity: thus in the M and K: but in the A, ↓ أَنْشَدَنِى شَعْرًا لَيْسَ فِيهِ حَلَاوَةٌ وَلَا ضَحَآءٌ i. e. [He recited to me poetry] in which was no [sweetness nor] plainness of meaning. (TA.) ضَحْوَةٌ: see the next preceding paragraph, in three places. You say, أَتَيْتُكَ ضَحْوَةً, meaning [I came to thee] in a [time called] ↓ ضُحًى [or rather ضَحْوَة], (K, * TA,) with tenween, unless you mean of this day [in which case you say ضَحْوَةٌ, without tenween, like as you say in the latter case ضُحَى].

(TA.) And شَجَرَةٌ ضَاحِيَةٌ بِالظِّلِّ [if not a mistake for ضَاحِيَةُ الظِّلِّ] A tree having no shade. (Har p. 4.] b4: And بَدَا بِضَاحِى رَأْسِهِ [He appeared with, or he showed,] the side of his head. (TA.) [See also the next paragraph.]

ضَاحِيَةٌ An outer, exterior, or exposed, side or region or tract of anything: [pl. ضَوَاحٍ: whence] one says, هُمْ يَنْزِلُونَ الضَّوَاحِىَ [They alight, or abide, in the exterior tracts]. (S.) [Hence also,] ضَوَاحِى الرُّومِ The exterior districts of the Greeks. (K.) And الضَّاحِيَةُ مِنَ البَعْلِ What are in the open country, of the palm-trees that imbibe with their roots, without being watered: opposed to الضَّامِنَةُ مِنَ النَّخْلِ: (AO, S in this art. and in art. ضمن, q. v.:) and الضَّوَاحِى مِنَ النَّخْلِ what are outside of the town-wall, of the palm-trees: thus used, الضواحى is an epithet in which the quality of a subst. is predominant. (TA.) And ضَوَاحِى

قُرَيْشٍ Those [of Kureysh] who abide outside of Mekkeh. (TA.) And هُوَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الضَّاحِيَةِ He is of the people of the desert. (TA.) الضَّوَاحِى also signifies The parts, of a man, that stand out, or are exposed, (K, TA,) to the sun, (TA,) such as the shoulder-blades, and the shoulders: (K, TA:) pl. of ضَاحِيَةٌ. (TA.) And The sides of a watering-trough. (K.) And The heavens. (S, K.) b2: [Hence also,] فَعَلَهُ ضَاحِيَةً He did it openly. (S, A, K.) b3: ضَاحِيَةُ المَالِ means The cattle, (K,) or sheep or goats, (TA,) that drink in the time of morning called ضُحًى. (K, TA.) أَضْحَى, applied to a horse, i. q. أَشْهَبُ [Of a colour in which whiteness predominates over blackness; &c.]: fem. ضَحْيَآءُ: (S, K:) or الضَّحْيَآءُ was, (K,) or was also, (S, and so afterwards in the K,) the name of a certain mare, belonging to 'Amr Ibn-'Ámir (S, K) Ibn-Rabee'ah. (S.) b2: And لَيْلَةٌ ضَحْيَآءُ, (S, K,) and ضَحْيَا with the short ا, both mentioned by ISd, (TA,) and ↓ إِضْحِيَانَةٌ, (S, K,) and ↓ إِضْحِيَةٌ accord. to the K, but [SM says] I have not found any mention of this last, [meaning except in the K,] and probably the right word is ↓ إِضحِيَانٌ, as in the books of strange words together with إِضْحِيَانَةٌ, and accord. to the “ Irtisháf ed-Darab ” of AHei one says [also]

↓ أَضْحِيَانٌ with fet-h, (TA,) A bright night, (S, K, TA,) in which are no clouds: (S, TA:) and in like manner, ↓ يَوْمٌ إِضْحِيَانٌ, in the K, erroneously, ضَحْيَاةٌ, a bright day, in which are no clouds, as in the M; or bright with the brightness of the ضُحَى, accord. to Er-Rághib; or [simply] bright, and so ↓ ضَحْيَانٌ, which is likewise applied in this sense to a moon, as also ↓ إِضْحِيَانٌ, and to a lamp, or its lighted wick. (TA.) b3: And اِمْرَأَةٌ ضَحْيَآءُ A woman whose hair of her عَانَة will not grow forth; (K, TA;) as though her عانة, being bare of hair, had no shade upon it. (TA.) A2: مَا أَدْرِى أَىُّ الضَّحْيَآءِ هُوَ is a saying mentioned by Az in art. طهى as meaning I know not what one of mankind, or of the people, he is. (TA.) A3: أَضْحًى [a coll. gen. n., of which the n. un. is أَضْحَاةٌ]: see أُضْحِيَّةٌ. Hence, يَوْمُ الأَضْحَى [The day of the victims; which is the tenth of Dhu-l- Hijjeh]; (S, Mgh, K, * TA;) so says Yaakoob; (TA;) or عِيدُ الأَضْحَى [the festival of the victims]: (Msb:) and by الأَضْحَى when it is made masc. is meant that day. (Fr, S, Msb.) إِضْحِيَةٌ: see the next preceding paragraph.

إِضْحِيَانٌ and أَضْحِيَانٌ, and the former with ة: see أَضْحَى, in five places. b2: الإِضْحِيَانُ is also the name of A certain plant, (K, TA,) resembling the أُقْحُوَان [or chamomile] in appearance. (TA.) أُضْحِيَّةٌ, (As, S, Mgh, Msb, K,) of the measure أُفْعُولَةٌ [as though originally أُضْحُويَةٌ], (Msb,) and إِضْحِيَّةٌ, (As, S, Msb, K,) pl. [of each] أَضاحِىُّ; and ↓ ضَحِيَّةٌ, of which the pl. is ضَحَايَا; and أَضْحَاةٌ, of which the pl. is ↓ أَضْحًى, (As, S, Mgh, Msb, K, [in copies of the K and in my copy of the Mgh written أَضْحَى, but it is properly speaking a coll. gen. n. of which أَضْحَاةٌ is the n. un., and is therefore with tenween,]) like أَرْطَاةٌ and أَرْطًى; (As, S, Mgh, Msb; *) A sheep or goat (S, K, KL) &c. [i. e. meaning also a camel and a bull or cow] (KL) that is slaughtered, or sacrificed, (S, K, KL,) in the time called الضُّحَى, (K,) on the day called يَوْمُ الأَضْحَى [the day of the victims, which is the tenth of Dhu-l-Hijjeh].

مُسْتَضْحٍ: see what next precedes.

زعج

1 زَعَجَ: see 4. b2: Also i. q. طَرَدَ [He drove away, &c.]. (K.) A2: And [i. q. زَعَقَ, meaning] He called, called out, cried out, or shouted. (K.) 4 ازعجهُ He disquieted, disturbed, agitated, or flurried, him; (IDrd, S, K;) and removed him from his place: (S, A, Msb, K:) and ↓ زَعَجَهُ signifies the same. (IDrd, K.) You say, أَزْعَجْتُهُ عَنْ مَوْضِعِهِ, (Msb,) or مِنْ مَحَلِّهِ, (A,) and مِنْ بِلَادِهِ, (L,) I removed him, or unsettled him, from his place, and from his country. (A, L, Msb.) And it is said in a trad., رَأَيْتُ عُمُرَ يُزْعِجُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ, meaning I saw 'Omar rousing Aboo-Bekr, and not suffering him to remain still. (TA.) And in another, الحَلِفُ يُزْعِجُ السِّلْعَةَ وَيَحْمَقُ البَرَكَةَ, meaning, accord. to Az, [Swearing] lowers in estimation [the commodity that one desires to recommend thereby and does away with the blessing thereof]: or, accord. to IAth, causes it to be easy of sale and to go forth from the hand of its owner [but does away with the blessing thereof]. (TA.) إِزْعَاجٌ [is the inf. n.; and as inf. n. of the pass. verb,] signifies [The being disquieted, &c.; and hence,] the quitting of home. (Har p. 392.) 7 انزعج He was, or became, disquieted, disturbed, agitated, or flurried; (S, K;) and was, or became, removed, or unsettled, from his place: (S, A, L, Msb, K:) it may be thus used as quasipass. of ازعج: (Kh, Msb:) or it should not be so used: (Msb:) it is, however, agreeable with analogy, as is also ↓ ازدعج: (L:) but the word commonly used in its stead is شَخَصَ: (L, Msb:) زَعَجَ in this sense is not allowable. (L.) 8 ازدعج: see what next precedes.

زَعَجٌ Disquietude, disturbance, or agitation: (K, TA:) a subst. [not an inf. n.] in this sense. (TA.) مِزْعَاجٌ An unquiet woman, who remains not still, or settled, in one place. (S, A, K.)

عذر

1 عَذَرَهُ, aor. ـِ inf. n. عُذْرٌ (S, O, Msb, K) and عُذُرٌ (S, O, K) and عُذْرَى (O, K) and مَعْذِرَةٌ and مَعْذُرَةٌ (K) [all of which are also used as simple substs.]; and ↓ اعذرهُ; (S, O, Msb, K;) He excused him; freed, cleared, or exempted, him from blame; exculpated him: (Msb:) or he accepted his excuse: properly, عَذَرْتُ signifies I cancelled evil conduct. (TA.) [See also عُذْرٌ below.] You say, عَذَرْتُهُ فِيمَا صَنَعَ (S, O, Msb) I excused, or exculpated, him for what he did. (Msb.) And in a trad. of El-Mikdád it is said, اللّٰهُ إِلَيْكَ ↓ لَقَدْ أَعْذَرَ i.e. Verily God hath excused thee, and exempted thee from the obligation to fight against the unbelievers; for he had become extremely fat, and unable to fight. (TA.) and you say [also], عَذَرَهُ عَنِ الشَّىْءِ He excused him for, or from, the thing. (MA.) [And accord. to Golius,عَذَرَهُ عَلَى الشَّىْءِ, as well as فِى الشَّىْءِ: but he has not mentioned his authority: see an explanation of عَذِيرٌ, from which the former phrase was perhaps derived by him.] And عَذَرْتُهُ مِنْ فُلَانٍ [I excused him, or held him excusable, for his conduct to such a one]; meaning, I did not blame him, but I blamed such a one. (S, * TA.) And مَنْ يَعْذِرُنِى مِنْهُ Who will excuse me, or make my excuse, if I requite him (Msb, TA) for his action, (Msb,) or for his evil action, (TA,) and will not blame me (Msb, TA) for it? (Msb:) or who will excuse me with respect to his case, and will not blame me for it? (Msb.) [And a similar ex. is mentioned in the TA with فِى in the place of مِنْ.] b2: [Hence,] عَذَرَ, (Az, S, IKtt, O, Msb, K,) aor. ـِ (O, TA;) and ↓ اعذر, (S, IKtt, Msb, K,) inf. n. إِعْذَارٌ; (TA;) He was vitious, or faulty, and corrupt: (Msb:) or he was guilty of many crimes, sins, faults, offences, or acts of disobedience, (S, O, Msb, K,) so as to vender him excusable who punished him. (TA.) It is said in a trad., لَنْ يَهْلِكَ النَّاسُ حَتَّى يَعْذِرُوا مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ, (O, and so in some copies of the S and K,) or ↓ يُعْذِرُوا, (so in other copies of the S and K, ) both of which readings are the same in meaning, (TA,) i. e. [Men will not perish, or die,] until they are guilty of many crimes, or sins, &c.; (S, O, Msb, K;) meaning, (accord. to A 'Obeyd, S, O,) until they deserve punishment, so as to render excusable him who punishes them. (S, A, O, TA.) And you say, مِنْ نَفْسِهِ ↓ اعذر, meaning He placed himself within the power of another. (TA.) A2: And عَذَرْتُهُ I aided him, or assisted him, against an enemy. (Msb.) A3: عَذَرَ, inf. n. عَذْرٌ, He cut, or cut off. (TA: but only the inf. n. of the verb in this sense is there mentioned.) b2: And [hence, probably, as is implied in a passage in the TA, (see عُذْرَةٌ,)] عَذَرَ, aor. ـِ (S, O, * Msb, K) inf. n. عَذْرٌ; (S, Msb;) and ↓ اعذر; (S, O, Msb, K;) both as expl. by A 'Obeyd; (S;) (tropical:) He circumcised a boy, (S, O, Msb, K,) and in like manner a girl; (S, O, Msb;) but when a girl is the object, خَفَضَ is more common. (S, O.) A4: عَذَرَ الفَرَسَ بِالعِذَارِ, aor. ـِ and عَذُرَ; and ↓ اعذرهُ; He fastened, or bound, the horse's عِذَار [q. v.]: (S, O, K:) and الفَرَسَ ↓ اعذر he bridled the horse; syn. أَلْجَمَهُ; (K, TA;) as also عَذَرَهُ, and ↓ عذّرهُ: (TA:) or ↓ اعذرهُ, (K,) or ↓ عذّرهُ, (thus in the TA,) he put to him [or upon him] an عِذَار; (K, TA;) and so عَذَرَهُ, aor. ـِ and عَذُرَ, inf. n. عَذْرٌ: (Msb:) and ↓ اعذر اللِّجَامَ he put to the لجام [i. e. bridle or bit] an عِذَار. (TA.) b2: And it is said in the Tahdheeb of IKtt that عَذَرْتُ الفَرَسَ, inf. n. عَذْرٌ, signifies I cauterized the horse in the place of the عِذَار: b3: and also حملت على عذاره [an explanation in which there seems to be a mistranscription or an omission, or both; perhaps correctly جَعَلْتُ عَلَى

الفَرَسِ عِذَارَهُ I put upon the horse his عذار; a meaning given above]; and ↓ أَعْذَرْتُهُ is a dial. var. thereof. (TA.) b4: عُذِرَ said of a camel means He was branded with the mark called عِذَار. (TA.) b5: [Hence, app., the phrase عَذَرَهُ بِاللَّوْمِ (assumed tropical:) He branded him with blame; like خَطَمَهُ باللوم, q.v.]

A5: عَذَرَهُ, from العُذْرَةُ, He (God, S) caused him (i. e. a child, TA) to be affected with the pain, in the fauces, termed عُذْرَة: and عُذِرَ He was, or became, affected therewith: (S, K, * TA:) inf. n. عَذْرٌ and عُذْرَةٌ. (IKtt, TA.) 2 عذّر, inf. n. تَعْذِيرٌ, He was without excuse; (K, * TA;) as also ↓ عاذر, (K, TA,) inf. n. مُعَاذَرَةٌ: (TA:) he affected to excuse himself, but had no excuse: he excused himself, but did not adduce an excuse [that was valid]. (TA.) [See also 8.] b2: And He was remiss, wanting, deficient, or defective, (S, O, Msb, TA,) in an affair, (S, Msb,) setting up an excuse [for being so]; (O;) fell short, or did less than was incumbent on him, (S, O, Msb, TA,) in it; (S, Msb;) did not exert himself, or act vigorously, in it; (Msb, TA;) causing it to be imagined that he had an excuse when he had none. (Bd in ix. 91.) You say, قَامَ فُلَانٌ قِيَامَ تَعْذِيرٍ Such a one acted remissly, falling short, or doing less than was incumbent on him. (TA.) And it is said in a story of the Children of Israel, نَهَاهُمْ أَحْبَارُهُمْ تَعْذِيرًا Their learned men forbade them remissly: the inf. n. being here put in the place of the act. part. n. as a denotative of state; as it is in جَآءَ مَشْيًا. (O, TA.) [See also 4.]

A2: Also (tropical:) He made, or prepared, a feast, (O, K,) such as is termed إِعْذَار [q. v.] (O) or عِذَار: (K:) and he invited to a feast such as is thus termed. (K. [Accord. to the TA, these are two distinct significations of the verb. See, again, 4.]) A3: عذّر الفَرَسَ: see 1, latter half, in two places. b2: عَذِّرْ عَنِّى بَعِيرَكَ, (S, O,) and عَنِّى ↓ أَعْذِرْهُ, (O,) Brand thy camel with a brand different from that of mine, in order that our camels may be known, one from the other. (S, O.) b3: عذّر الغُلَامُ The hair of the boy's عِذَار (K, TA) i. e. of his cheek (TA) grew. (K, TA.) A4: عذّر الدَّارَ (inf. n. as above, TA) He effaced the traces of the house, or dwelling. (K, TA.) A5: عذّرهُ, (S, O, K,) inf. n. as above, (S, O,) He defiled, or besmeared, it (a thing, K) with عَذِرَة [or human dung]. (S, O, K.) 3 عَاْذَرَ see 2, first sentence. [And see also the last clause of the last paragraph of this art.]4 اعذر: see 1, in five places from the commencement. b2: Also He had an excuse; [or he was, or became, excusable;] (S, O, K;) and so ↓ اعتذر. (S, O, K.) It is said in a prov., أَعْذَرَ مَنْ أَنْذَرَ [He has an excuse, or is excusable, who warns]. (S. [See also below: and see art. نذر.

It is held by some in the present day that the ا in اعذر, in this phrase, has a privative effect, and that the meaning is, He deprives of excuse who warns: but for this I have not found any authority.]) And Lebeed says, (S, O, TA,) addressing his two daughters, (O, TA,) and telling them to wail and weep a year for him after his death, (TA,) إِلَى الحَوْلِ ثُمَّ اسْمُ السَّلَامِ عَلَيْكُمَا

↓ وَمَنْ يَبْكِ حَوْلًا كَامِلًا فَقَدْ اعْتَذَرْ [Until the end of the year: then the name of peace be an you both: for such as weeps a whole year has become excusable]. (S, O.) You say also, أَعْذَرْتُ عِنْدَ السُّلْطَانِ I got excuse of the Sultán [or ruling power]. (TA.) b3: And He manifested an excuse: (K, TA:) in which sense, عُذْرٌ is said to be its inf. n., as well as إِعْذَارٌ; but the former is correctly a simple subst. (TA.) And He pleaded that by which he should be excused. (TA.) [See also 8.] b4: He did that by which he should be excused. (TA.) b5: He did that in which he should be excused: hence the saying of Zuheyr, *سَتَمْنَعُكُمْ أَرْمَاحُنَا أَوْ سَنُعْذِرُ [Our spears shall prevent you, or shall defend you,] or we will do that in which we shall be excused. (S, O: but in the latter, وَتَمْنَعُكُمْ.) b6: And He exceeded the usual bounds, (A, Mgh, O,) or went to the utmost point, (TA,) in excuse, (A, Mgh, O, TA,) i. e. in being excused. (A.) So in the saying أَعْذَرَ مَنْ أَنْذَرَ [He exceeds the usual bounds in rendering himself excused who warns]. (A, Mgh, O. [See also above, third sentence.]) And it is said in a trad., لَقَدْ أَعْذَرَ اللّٰهُ إِلَى مَنْ بَلَغَ مِنَ العُمُرِ سِتِّينَ سَنَةً [app. meaning Verily God hath freed himself from the imputation of injustice to an extraordinary degree, or to the utmost point, to him who hath attained sixty years of age:] i. e. He hath left him no plea for excuse [for his sins], since He hath granted him respite for all this length of time and he hath not excused himself. (TA. [As اعذر is here followed by إِلَى, I do not think that this explanation is meant to show that the ا has a privative effect, and that the verb signifies “ he deprived of excuse. ”]) b7: [Hence,] He exerted himself, acted vigorously, took extraordinary pains, or exceeded the usual bounds, [so as to render himself excused,] (S, O, Msb, K, TA,) فِى الأَمْرِ in the affair; (S, O, Msb;) as, for instance, in eating, in relation to which it occurs in a trad., wherein one is enjoined to do so when eating with others, [app. meaning with guests and with a host,] such having been the custom of the Prophet; for, when he ate with others, he was the last in eating. (TA.) [Hence also,] أَعْذَرْتُ إِلَيْكَ I took extraordinary pains, or exceeded the usual bounds, in exhortation and precept to thee. (TA.) b8: And He was remiss, wanting, deficient, or defective; he fell short, or did less than was incumbent on him; feigning (يُرِى [in the CK, erroneously, يُرىٰ]) that he was doing the contrary: as though the verb bore two contrary significations. (K.) [See also 2.]

A2: Also I. q. أَنْصَفَ: (O, K:) you say, أَعْذِرْنِى مِنْ هٰذَا i. e. أَنْصِفْنِى مِنْهُ [Give thou me, or obtain for me, my right, or due, from this person]: and hence the saying of the Prophet to Aboo-Bekr, respecting 'Áïsheh, أَعْذِرْنِى مِنْهَا إِنْ

أَدَّبْتُهَا [Obtain thou for me my right, or due, from her if I discipline her, or chastise her]: (O:) or this means undertake thou to excuse me [for my conduct to her &c.]: (TA:) and the Arabs say, أَعْذَرَ فُلَانٌ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ [Such a one became bound to render an excuse for his conduct to himself; (see عَذِيرٌ;)] meaning such a one was destroyed by himself. (Yoo, TA.) A3: As signifying He circumcised: see 1, latter half. It is said in a trad., كُنَّا إِعْذَارَ يَوْمٍ وَاحِدٍ, meaning We were circumcised in one day. (TA.) b2: Also (tropical:) He made a feast on the occasion of a circumcision, (Az, Msb, K, TA,) لِلْقَوْمِ for the people, or party: (K:) he prepared such a feast: from the same verb signifying “ he circumcised. ” (TA.) [See also 2: and see إِعْذَارٌ as a subst.]

A4: اعذر الفَرَسَ and اللِّجَامَ: see 1, latter half, in five places. b2: And أَعْذِرْ عَنِّى بَعِيرَكَ: see 2, near the end. b3: أَعْذِرْ عَلَى نَصِيبِكَ Make a mark upon thy share. (O.) b4: اعذر فِى ظَهْرِهِ He beat him (O, K) with whips (O) so as to make a mark, or marks, upon his back. (O, K.) And ضَرَبَهُ حَتَّى أَعْذَرَ مَتْنَهُ He beat him so that he made the beating heavy upon his back and obtained from him relief from his anger. (TA.) And ضُرِبَ فَأُعْذِرَ, (S, O, K,) in the Tahdheed of IKtt فَأَعْذَرَ, (TA,) He (a man) was beaten so that he was at the point of death. (S, O, K, TA.) And أُعْذِرَ مِنْهُ He had wounds inflicted upon him so that fear was excited for him in consequence thereof. (O.) And أَعْذَرَ بِهِ He, or it, left a scar upon him. (O, * TA.) b5: and أَعْذَرْتُ الدَّارَ and فِى الدَّارِ I made a mark, or marks, in, or upon, the house, or dwelling. (O.) A5: اعذر also signifies He (a man, TA) voided his ordure. (O, K.) b2: And اعذرت الدَّارُ The house, or dwelling, had in it much عَذِرَة [or human ordure]. (S, O.) 5 تعذّر: see 8, in three places. b2: Also He went backwards; drew back; remained behind; or held back: (K:) or he held back, or withheld himself, for a cause rendering him excused. (TA voce تَغَدَّرَ, q. v.) b3: And He fled. (K.) Yousay, تعذّروا عَلَيْهِ They fled from him, and abstained from aiding, or assisting, him, or held back from him. (O.) b4: And He resisted, and was difficult: it is said in a trad., [respecting Mohammad,] كَانَ يَتَعَذَّرُ فِى مَرَضِهِ He used to resist, and be difficult, in his malady. (TA.) b5: And تعذّر الأَمْرُ (O, K, TA) The affair was not direct in its tendency; (K, TA;) i. e. (TA) it was, or became, difficult: one says, تعذّر عَلَيْهِ الأَمْرُ The affair was, or became, difficult to him. (O, Msb, TA.) [And The affair was, or became, impracticable, or impossible.]

A2: تعذّر الرَّسْمُ The رسم [i. e. trace, or relic, of an abode, or of a place of sojourning, &c.,] became effaced; (S, O, K;) as also ↓ اعتذر: (S, *, O, * K:) or became altered and effaced: and المَنَازِلُ ↓ اعتذرت the places of alighting, or abode, had their traces, or remains, effaced. (TA.) A3: And تعذّر (from العَذِرَةُ, S, O) He, or it, became defiled, or besmeared, (S, O, K) with عَذِرَة [or human ordure]. (K.) 8 اعتذر, (S, O, Msb, &c.,) inf. n. اِعْتِذَارٌ, (S, O, TA,) and [quasi-inf. ns.] ↓ عِذْرَةٌ and ↓ مَعْذِرَةٌ; (TA;) and for اعتذر one says also اِعَذَّرَ, aor. ـَ inf. n. اِعِذَّارٌ; and it is allowable to say اِعِذِّرَ, aor. ـِ but the former of these two variations is the more approved; (AHeyth, TA;) [in the former case, the original being changed to اِعَتْذَرَ, then to اِعَذْذَرَ, then to اِعَذَّرَ; and in the latter case, to اِعْتْذَرَ, then to اِعِتْذَرَ, then to اِعِذْذَرَ, then to اِعِذْرَ, and then to اِعِذِّرَ;] He excused himself; he adduced, or urged, an excuse, or a plea, for himself; (Fr, S, * O, * TA;) as also ↓ تعذّر. (S, O, K.) [See عُذْرٌ.] You say, اعتذر إِلَىَّ [He excused himself to me;] he begged me to accept his excuse; (Msb;) and Az says, I have heard two Arabs of the desert, one of the tribe of Temeem and one of the tribe of Keys, say, إِلَى ↓ تَعَذَّرْتُ الرَّجُلِ in the sense of اِعْتَذَرْتُ [i. e. I excused myself to the man]. (TA.) And اعتذر مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ (S, * O, * TA) and ↓ تعذّر (TA) [He excused himself, or urged an excuse, for his crime, sin, or misdeed: or] he asserted himself to be clear of his crime, sin, or misdeed. (TA.) And اعتذر عَنْ فِعْلِهِ [or مِنْ فعله] He showed, or manifested, his excuse for his deed. (Msb.) [It is said that] the primary meaning of الاِعْتِذَارُ is The cutting a man off from the object of his want, and from that to which he clings in his heart. (TA.) [Hence, perhaps, one says اعتذر meaning He excused himself for not complying with a claim, or request.] b2: See also 4, in two places, near the beginning. b3: Also He did not adduce an excuse. (Fr, TA.) [Thus it has two contr. significations. See also 2.]

And it was said by Ibráheem En-Nakha'ee, يَشُوبُهَا ↓ إِنَّ المَعَاذِيرَ الكَذِبُ [Verily excuses, lying mixes therewith].

عَاذِرٌ: see عَذِيرٌ; and عُذْرٌ, latter half. b2: عَاذِرَةٌ, [fem. of عَاذِرٌ,] as an epithet applied to a woman: see the fem. of مَعْذُورٌ.

A2: Also A scar, or mark of a wound; (S, O, K;) and so ↓ عَذِيرَةٌ, (O, and thus in copies of the S,) or ↓ عَذِيرٌ. (TA, and so in a copy of the S.) One says, تَرَكَ بِهِ عَاذِرًا He, or it, left upon him a scar, or mark of a wound. (TA.) And the same is said of rain, meaning, It left upon him, or it, a mark. (TA.) A3: See also عَذِرَةٌ, in two places.

A4: And العَاذِرُ signifies The vein whence flows the blood of what is termed الاِسْتِحَاضَة: [see 10 in art. حيض:] (S, * O, * Msb, K: *) a dial. var. of العَاذِلُ, or an instance of mispronunciation: (S, O:) or it may be so called because it serves as an excuse for the woman. (TA.) عَاذِرَةٌ, as a subst.: see عَذِرَةٌ.

عَاذُورٌ A brand, or mark made with a hot iron, like a line: pl. عَوَاذِيرُ. (S, O.) A2: And لَقِيتُ مِنْهُ عَاذُورًا is a saying mentioned by As, as meaning I experienced, from him, or it, evil: عَاذُورٌ being a dial. var. of عَاثُورٌ, or an instance of mispronunciation. (S, O.) A3: العَاذُورُ also signifies What is cut off from the place of circumcision of a girl [which place is termed her عُذْرَة]. (O, TA.) A4: See also عُذْرَةٌ, last quarter.

عَاذُورَآءُ: see عُذْرَةٌ, last quarter.

إِعْذَارٌ, (Az, S, A, O, Msb, K,) originally an inf. n., (S, O, Msb,) and ↓ عَذِيرَةٌ (S, A, O, K) and ↓ عَذِيرٌ (A, K) and ↓ عِذَارٌ, (K,) A repast, or food, prepared on the occasion of a circumcision; (Az, S, A, O, Msb, K;) or on some joyful occasion: (Msb:) and the last of these words likewise signifies a repast, or food, prepared on the occasion [of the completion] of a building: and also a repast, or food, which one prepares, and to which he invites his brethren, on the occasion of the acquisition of something new: (O, K:) and accord. to the K, all the other words mentioned above also have, app., the former, or perhaps the latter, of these two meanings, as well as the meaning first mentioned above, which is the most common. (TA.) مَعْذَرٌ; pl. مَعَاذِرُ: see عَذِرَةٌ, second sentence.

مُعْذِرٌ: see مُعْتَذِرٌ, in two places.

مَعْذِرَةٌ and مَعْذُرَةٌ and مَعْذَرَةٌ; and the pl. مَعَاذِرُ: see عُذْرٌ, in five places: and for the first, see also 8.

مُعَذَّرٌ [properly signifying The place of the عِذَار or of the عِذَارَانِ]: see عِذَارٌ, in four places.

مُعَذِّرٌ and مُعِذِّرٌ and مُعُذِّرٌ: see مُعْتَذِرٌ, in six places.

مِعْذَارٌ sing. of مَعَاذِيرُ, (O, K,) which signifies [Excuses, or apologies;] pleas, allegations, or arguments: (K, TA: see عُذْرٌ, in two places:) b2: and also, (K, TA,) in the dial. of El-Yemen, (TA,) Veils, curtains, or coverings. (O, K, TA.) The saying in the Kur [lxxv. 14 and 15], بَلِ الْإِنْسَانُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ بَصِيرَةٌ وَلَوْ أَلْقَى مَعَاذِيرَهُ is expl. as meaning [Nay, the man shall be witness against himself, though he throw] his veils or coverings [over his offences]: (TA:) or (accord. to Mujá-hid, S, O), [though he offer his excuses; or] though he dispute respecting it (S, O, TA) with every plea by which he may excuse himself. (TA.) مَعْذُورٌ Excused; freed, cleared, or exempted, from blame; exculpated. (Msb.) b2: And [hence, perhaps,] مَعْذُورَةٌ applied to a woman signifies مُسْتَحَاضَةٌ [q. v. in art. حيض]: and sometimes one says ↓ عَاذِرَةٌ; as meaning having an excuse: (Msb:) the latter is said to be used in the sense of مُسْتَحَاضَةٌ; but it requires consideration; (O, TA;) as though it were of the measure فَاعِلَةٌ in the sense of مَفْعُولَةٌ, [i. e. in the sense of مَعْذُورَةٌ as meaning excused,] from إِقَامَةُ العُذْرِ. (TA.) b3: [Golius assigns to مَعْذُورٌ the meaning of “ Voti impos; ” as on the authority of the KL; in which, however, I do not find it.]

A2: Also (tropical:) Circumcised. (S, A, O, Msb.) A3: And A camel branded with the mark called عِذَار. (TA.) A4: And [A child] affected with the pain, of the fauces, termed عُذْرَة. (S, O, K.) مُعَاذِرٌ: see its pl. in the last clause of the following paragraph.

مُعْتَذِرٌ One excusing himself, whether he have, or have not, an excuse: (TA:) the person to whom this epithet is applied may be a speaker of truth, and he may be not a speaker of truth: (Msb, TA:) and so ↓ مُعَذِّرٌ, which, as applied to a speaker of truth, signifies having an excuse, like مُعْتَذِرٌ, (S, O, K,) [of which it is a variation,] for the ت is changed into ذ, and this is incorporated [into the radical ذ], and its vowel is transferred to the ع, like as is the case in يَخَصِّمُونَ; (S, O;) and ↓ مُعِذِّرٌ is also allowable, (S, O, TA,) and also ↓ مُعُذِّرٌ; (S, O;) but [it is said that] ↓ مُعَذِّرٌ applied to him who does not speak truth, (S, O, K,) being [originally] of the measure مُفَعِّلٌ, [not a variation of مُعْتَذِرٌ,] (S, O,) means falling short, or doing less than is incumbent on him, (S, O, K,) excusing himself (S, O) without having any [real or valid] excuse. (S, O, K.) In the Kur ix. 91, I'Ab read ↓ المُعْذِرُونَ [instead of the more usual reading ↓ المُعَذِّرُونَ], (S, O, K,) and so did Yaakoob El-Hadramee, (Az, TA,) from أَعْذَرَ; the former asserting that it was so revealed; app. considering ↓ مُعَذِّرٌ, with teshdeed, to apply to one not speaking truth, (S, O, K,) meaning pretending to excuse himself, without having any real excuse; (S, O;) and ↓ مُعْذِرٌ to mean having an excuse: (S, O, K:) Ibn-Abee-Leylà and Tá-oos read ↓ المُعَاذِرُونَ, as meaning those striving, or labouring, in seeking excuse. (O.)

عجس

1 عَجَسَهُ, (K,) [aor. ـِ inf. n. عَجْسٌ, (S, O,) He grasped it; (S, O, K;) namely, a thing [such, for ex., as a bow]: (S:) [and he grasped it hard; for] عَجْسٌ signifies also the grasping a thing hard. (TA.) b2: And عَجَسَهُ عَنْ حَاجَتِهِ, aor. as above, (O, K,) and so the inf. n., (O,) He, or it, withheld him from the object of his want; (O, K;) as also ↓ تعجّسهُ: (TA:) and ↓ تعجّسهُ is likewise said of a radical, or hereditary, evil quality, meaning It withheld him from generous actions; (Sh, O, K;) as also تعقّلهُ and تثفّلهُ. (Sh, O.) And عَجَسَنِى عَنْكَ It (an affair, or event,) withheld me from thee. (AO, O.) And بِهِمْ ↓ تعجّس He withheld them; and he held them back, or made them slow or tardy: (Sh, O, K: *) and one says, بِىَ الرَّاحِلَةُ ↓ تَعَجَّسَتْ The riding-camel kept me back, or made me slow or tardy. (TA.) b3: عَجَسَ and ↓ تعجّس alone signify He was, or became, slow, tardy, late, or backward: (TA:) and the latter signifies [likewise] he was, or became, behind, or backward; or he remained behind, or held back. (O, TA.) b4: And one says of a she-camel, عَجَسَتْ بِهِ, (O, K,) aor. as above, (K,) and so the inf. n., (TA,) meaning She turned aside, or away, with him from the road, by reason of her briskness, liveliness, or sprightliness; (O, K, TA;) and so ↓ تعجّست; and, as written by El-Urmawee, ↓ عَجَّسَتْ. (TA.) 2 عَجَّسَ see what next precedes.5 تَعَجَّسَ see 1, in six places. b2: تعجّسهُ also signifies He reckoned, or esteemed, his judgment, or opinion, weak. (Sh, O, * TA.) b3: And He upbraided him, or reproached him, for a thing, or an affair, (IDrd, K, TA,) which he had commanded him to do. (IDrd, TA.) b4: And تعجّس

أَمْرَهُ He searched repeatedly after the knowledge of his (i. e. another's S, O) affair, or case. (S, O, K.) Hence, in a trad., فَيَتَجَّسُكُمْ فِى قُرَيْشٍ

And he seeks repeatedly after you among Kureysh. (TA.) b5: And تعجّست الأَرْضَ غُيُوثٌ Rains fell, one after another, upon the earth, or land, (S, O, K, TA,) and bore heavily upon it. (TA.) A2: تعجّس الرَّجُلُ The man went forth in a last portion, before daybreak, (↓ بِعِجْسَةٍ, O, or ↓ بِعُجْسَةٍ, K, [but see what follows,]) of the night: (O, K:) El-Marrár Ibn-Sa'eed El-Fak'asee says, describing his travelling-companions, وَإِذَا هُمُ ارْتَحَلُوا بِلَيْلٍ حَابِسٍ

↓ المُتَعَجِّسِ ↓ أُخْرَى النُّجُومِ بِعَجْسَةِ [And when they departed in an impeding night, in the last period of the appearance of the stars, in a last portion of the night of him who goes forth at that time]. (O: in which بعجسة is thus written, with fet-h and damm, and with مَعًا above them.) [It is also said in the O (immediately after this verse), and likewise in the K and TA (in neither of which is the verse cited), in all of them probably from one and the same source, that ↓ المُتَعَجِّسُ means المُتَشَمْخِرُ; and it is added in the TA that this has been mentioned in its place: but it is not mentioned in its proper art. in the O nor in the K nor in the TA; and it is evidently a mistranscription, for المُسْتَحِرُ, part. n. of اِسْتَحَرَ (q. v. voce أَسْحَرَ), and therefore I have rendered المُتَعَجِّس as above.]

عَجْسٌ and ↓ عُجْسٌ and ↓ عِجْسٌ The handle, or part that is grasped by the hand, of a bow; (S, O, K, TA;) which is the part, thereof, that is the place of the arrow; as AHn says, the thickest place therein; (TA;) as also ↓ مَعْجِسٌ [lit. the place of grasping]. (S, O, K.) b2: And, (K,) or the first of these words, (S, O,) A portion of the middle of the night; (S, O, K;) as though from the عَجْس of the bow; [whence] one says, مَضَى عَجْسٌ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ [A portion of the middle of the night passed]: (S, O:) or the last part of the night: (Lth, O, K:) or the blackness of the night &c. (TA.) [See also عُجْسَةٌ.] b3: And see أَعْجَسُ.

↓ عَجِيسٍ and سَجِيسَ عَجِيسَ, (O,) both of which words are written in the K in this art. like

أَمِير, with a reference to art. سجس, but the latter of them is correctly عُجَيْس, in the dim. form, (TA,) mean I will not come to thee ever; (S, O;) or while time lasts. (TA.) And one says also, لَا آتِيكَ عُجَيْسَ الدَّهْرِ I will not come to thee to the end of time. (TA.) أَعْجَسُ Strong in the ↓ عَجْس, i. e. the middle. (O, K.) [To what this epithet is applied is not said.]

مَعْجِسٌ: see عَجْسٌ.

مُتَعَجِّسٌ see 5, last two sentences.

حلق

1 حَلَقَ رَأْسَهُ, (S, K,) and شَعَرَهُ, (S, M, Msb,) aor. ـِ (S, Msb, K,) inf. n. حَلْقٌ (S, * M, Msb, K) and حِلَاقٌ (S, * Msb, K *) and تَحْلَاقٌ, (S, * K,) He removed the hair of his head [with a razor, or shaved his head], (K,) [and he shaved off his hair;] as also ↓ احتلقهُ; (S, K;) and ↓ حلّقهُ, (K,) inf. n. تَحْلِيقٌ: (TA:) or the latter verb has an intensive signification, (O, Msb,) and applies to many objects, (S, Msb,) as in the phrase, حَلَّقُوا رُؤُوسَهُمْ [they shaved their heads]: (S:) and you say also, حَلَقَ مَعْزَهُ [he shore his goats]; but not جَزَّ save in the case of sheep: (S:) [for] الحَلْقُ with respect to the hair of human beings and of goats is like الجَزُّ with respect to wool. (M, TA.) [Hence,] إِنَّ رَأْسَهُ لَجَيِّدُ الحِلَاقِ [Verily his head is well shaven]. (S, K. *) And يَوْمُ تَحْلَاق اللَّمَمِ [The day of the shaving off of the locks termed لمم]; which was a day fought by Teghlib (S, K) against Bekr Ibn-Wáïl; (S;) because their [i. e. Teghlib's] distinctive sign was shaving (الحَلْق), (S, K,) on that day. (S.) b2: عَقْرًا حَلْقًا, or ↓ عَقْرَى حَلْقَى, (S, K, *) is an expression occurring in a trad.: (S:) the latter is rare; or is an incorrect variation of the relaters of traditions: (K:) A 'Obeyd says, it is عَقْرًا حَلْقًا, for which the relaters of traditions say ↓ عَقْرَى حَلْقَى; and the original form and meaning is عَقَرَهَا اللّٰهُ وَحَلَقَهَا, (S,) or عَقَرَهَا اللّٰهُ عَقْرًا وَحَلَقَهَا حَلْقًا, (TA,) i. e., [accord. to A 'Obeyd,] May God wound her body, and afflict her with pain in her حَلْق [or fauces]: (S, K: *) but this explanation is not valid: accord. to the T, it is a form of imprecation uttered against a woman, [not in earnest, though denoting a degree of displeasure,] meaning may she be bereft of her husband, or became a widow, so that she shall shave off her hair: and Az says that عَقْرَى ↓ حَلْقَى means she is unlucky [to others] and annoying: ISd says, it is said to mean she is unlucky [to others]; but I am not sure of it. (TA.) Accord. to Aboo-Nasr (S, TA) Ahmad Ibn-Hátim, (S,) one says on the occasion of an event at which one wonders, خَمْشَى

↓ عَقْرَى حَلْقَى, as though [meaning May she who has occasioned this, scratch and wound her face, and shave off her hair:] from الحَلْقُ [the act of shaving] and العَقْرُ [the act of wounding] and الخَمْشُ syn. with الخَدْشُ [the act of scratching]: (S, TA: *) and he cites this verse: ↓ أَلَا قَوْمِى أُولُو عَقْرَى وَحَلْقَى

لِمَا لَا قَتْ سَلَامَانُ بْنُ غَنْمِ (TA, and so in some copies of the S,) meaning [Now surely] my people have women who have wounded and scratched their faces and shaven off their hair [on account of what the tribe of Selámán Ibn-Ghanm has experienced]: so, says IB, IKtt relates this verse, and so Hr in the Ghareebeyn: but ISk, thus: أَلَا قَوْمِى إِلَى عَقْرَى وَحَلْقَى

[and so I find it in one copy of the S:] and IJ explains it by saying that عقرى وحلقى originally denotes the case of a woman who, when some one honourable in her estimation has been smitten, or wounded, takes a pair of sandals, and beats with them her head, and wounds or scratches it, and shaves off her hair; and the poet means, my people have come to the condition of wounded, or scratched, and shaven, women. (TA.) [Fei says,] حَلْقًا لَهُ وَعَقْرًا is a form of imprecation, meaning May God afflict him with pain in his حَلْق [or fauces], and wound his body: but the relaters of traditions say عَقْرَى ↓ حَلْقَى, with the fem. alif, making them act. part. ns.; [the former meaning, accord. to one of the explanations given above, an unlucky woman to others, though this is doubtful; and] the latter meaning a woman annoying her people: (Msb:) or both these words are inf. ns., like دَعْوَى. (TA in art. عقر.

[See more in that art]) b3: They said also, بَيْنَهُمُ احْلِقِى وَقُومِى [Among them is heard the saying, Shave, O woman, and arise]; i. e. among them is trial, or trouble, and distress, affliction, calamity, or adversity: and يُوْمُ احْلِقِى وَقُومِى [A day of the saying Shave, &c.; i. e., of trial, &c.]. (TA.) b4: Also حَلَقَ الشَّىْءَ. aor. ـِ inf. n. حلْقٌ, He peeled the thing; or stripped off, or otherwise removed, its superficial part: or he peeled, stripped, pared, scraped, or rubbed, off the thing: syn. قَشَرَهُ. (TA.) b5: And حَلَقَ (assumed tropical:) He, or it, destroyed; and cut off entirely, like as the razor does hair. (TA.) b6: And, aor. as above, (assumed tropical:) He (a man) pained, or caused to suffer pain. (IAar, TA.) A2: حَلَقَهُ, (S, K,) aor. ـُ (K) and حَلِقَ, (TA,) He hit, or hurt, his حَلْق [or fauces]; (S, K;) a verb similar to رَأَسَهُ, and عَضَدَهُ and صَدَرَهُ, meaning “ he struck his head ” and “ his upper arm ” and “ his breast: ” and He (God) afflicted him with pain in his حَلْق; as explained in a phrase mentioned above. (S.) b2: And (tropical:) He filled it, namely, a watering-trough or tank, (K, TA,) up to its حَلْق [q. v.]; (TA;) as also ↓ احلقهُ. (Sgh, K.) A3: حَلَقَ الشَّىْءَ i. q. قَدَّرَهُ [He made the thing according to a measure; &c.]; (K;) like خَلَقَهُ [q. v.], with the pointed خ. (TA.) A4: حَلَقَ الضَّرْعُ, aor. ـَ [so in the TA, app. a mistranscription for حَلُقَ, since neither the medial nor final radical letter is faucial,] inf. n. حُلُوقٌ, (assumed tropical:) The udder rose to the belly, and became contracted: b2: and also (assumed tropical:) The udder contained much milk: (Kr, ISd, TA:) thus it has two contr. meanings. (TA.) [See the part. n. حَالِقٌ.]

A5: حَلِقَ, aor. ـَ He (a man) suffered pain: or had a complaint of his حَلْق [or fauces]. (IAar, TA.) 2 حلّق, inf. n. تَحْلِيقٌ: see 1, first sentence.

A2: حلّقهُ حَلْقَةً He clad him with a حلقة [or coat of mail, &c.]. (TA.) b2: حلٌّق حَلْقَةً He turned [or drew] a circle. (TA.) b3: [Hence, perhaps,] حلّق عَلَى اسْمِ فُلَانٍ [if, as I suppose, originally meaning He drew a line round the name of such a one;] (tropical:) he cancelled the stipend, or pay, or allowance, of such a one. (TA.) b4: [حلّق الإِبِلَ He branded the camels with a mark in the form of a ring: see the pass. part. n.] b5: حلَق بِإِصْبعِهِ He bent his finger round like a حَلْقَة [or ring]. (TA.) b6: حلّق said of the moon, It had a halo around it; (K, * TA;) as also ↓ تحلّق. (K.) b7: Said of a bird, inf. n. as above, (tropical:) It soared in its flight, (S, K, TA,) and circled in the air. (TA.) b8: Said of the نَجْم, (K,) meaning the Pleiades (الثُّرَيَّا), (T in art. فغر,) (assumed tropical:) It was, or became, high: (K:) or it became overhead. (T ubi suprà: see فَغَرَ.) It is said that تَحْلِيقُ الشَّمْسِ, in the former part of the day, means (assumed tropical:) The sun's rising high from the east: and in the latter part of the day, the sun's going down: but Sh says, I know not التحليق except as meaning the being, or becoming, high. (TA.) b9: حلّق بِبَصَرِهِ إِلَى السَّمآءِ (assumed tropical:) He raised his eyes towards the sky. (TA.) b10: حلّق ضَرْعُ النَّاقَةِ, inf. n. as above, (assumed tropical:) The she-camel's milk became drawn up [and consequently her udder also] (IDrd, K) to her belly (IDrd, TA.) And accord. to ISd, حلّق اللَّبَنُ (assumed tropical:) The milk [became drawn up, or withdrawn, i. e.,] went away. (TA.) And حلّق is said of the water in a drinking-trough, meaning (assumed tropical:) It became little in quantity; and went away. (TA.) b11: حَلَّقَتْ عُيُونُ الإِبِلِ (tropical:) The eyes of the camels sank, or became depressed, in their heads. (AA, K, TA.) b12: حلّق البُسْرُ, inf. n. as above, (assumed tropical:) The ripening dates became ripe [as far as the حَلْق, i. e.,] to the extent of two thirds: (AHn, K:) and ↓ حَلْقَنَ signifies the same; or they began to be ripe (K in art. حلقن) next the base; (TA in that art.;) as also ↓ حَلْقَمَ. (TA in art. حلقم.) b13: حلّق بِهِ (tropical:) It (a draught of [milk and water such as is termed] صُوَاح) caused his belly to become inflated.

A3: حَوْلَقَ, (TA,) inf. n. حَوْلَقَةٌ, (S,) He said لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللّٰهِ: [see art. حول:] so says ISk: (S:) others say حَوْقَلَ. (IAth, TA.) حَلْقٌ [The fauces: and hence, by a synecdoche, the throat, or gullet, i. e. the œsophagus:] the place of the غَلْصَمَة [or epiglottis]; and the place of slaughter in an animal: (Az, TA:) or the fore part of the neck: (Zj in his “ Khalk el-Insán: ”) or the passage of, or place by which pass, the food and drink, into the مَرِىْء [or œsophagus]: (TA:) or i. q. ↓ حُلْقُومٌ: (S, Msb, K:) [but] the latter is the windpipe; the passage of the breath; (Zj ubi suprà, Az, Msb;) which has branches branching from it into the lungs, [namely, the bronchi, consisting of two main branches, which divide into smaller and smaller,] called the قَصَب: (Zj ubi suprà, and Msb:) [this word (حلقوم), however, as well as the former, is sometimes applied to the throat, or gullet: but the former (حلق) generally signifies the fauces; and the latter (حلقوم), the windpipe: (see another explanation of the latter word in art. حلقم, from the M:) a morsel of food, or the like, is commonly said to stick in the حلق, but not in the حلقوم:] حَلْقٌ is of the masc. gender: (Msb:) and its pl. is حُلُوقٌ, (S, Msb,) and sometimes حُلُقٌ; (Msb;) or حِلَقٌ, which is extr.; and pl. of pauc. أَحْلَاقٌ; (TA;) and أَحْلُقٌ is allowable [as a pl. of pauc.] on the ground of analogy; but it has not been heard from the Arabs: (Msb:) ↓ حُلْقُومٌ is of the measure فُعْلُومٌ, (TA,) the م being augmentative, (Msb,) accord. to Kh; but of the measure فُعْلُولٌ accord. to others: (TA:) and its pl. is حَلَاقِيمُ, and, by contraction, حَلَاقِمُ.
