(TA.) [And in like manner سهّل اللّٰهُ عَلَيْكَ is often said with الأَمْرَ or أَمْرَكَ understood.] b5: [And أَهَّلَ بِهِ وَسَهَّلَ, or أَهَّلَهُ وَسَهَّلَهُ, inf. ns. تَأْهِيلٌ and تَسْهِيلٌ, He said to him ↓ أَهْلًا وَسَهْلًا, meaning (as expl. in the Msb in art. اهل) أَتَيْتَ قَوْمًا أَهْلًا وَمَوْضِعًا سَهْلًا, i. e. Thou hast come to a people who are like kinsfolk, and to a place that is smooth, plain, or not rugged: see أَهَّلَ and أَهْلٌ: and see also Ham p. 184.]3 ساهلهُ, (MA, K,) inf. n. مُسَاهَلَةٌ, (TA,) He was easy, or facile, with him; (MA, K *) or gentle with him; syn. يَاسَرَهُ: (K:) and ↓ تساهل عَلَيْهِ [has a similar meaning, i. e. he acted, or affected to act, in an easy, or a facile, manner towards him; or gently].

(TA in that art.) b2: And تسهّل فِى أُمُورِهِ, said of a man, (K in art سنى,) He found, or experienced, ease, or facility, in his affairs. (TK in that art.) 6 تَسَاهُلٌ is syn. with تَسَامُحٌ.

(Marginal notes in the copy of the KT above mentioned.) [See also تَسَامُحٌ, for which it is often used.]8 استهل, of the measure اِفْتَعَلَ from السَّهْلُ, occurs in a trad., where it is said, مَنْ كَذَبَ عَلَىَّ فَقَدِ اسْتَهَلَ مَكَانَهُ فِى جَهَنَّمَ, meaning [He who lies against me] takes for himself easily his place of abode in Hell. (TA.) 10 استسهلهُ He reckoned it سَهْل, (S, K,) i. e. easy, or facile. (TK.) [See an ex. in a verse cited voce أَوْ, p. 123.]

سَهْلٌ Smooth or soft, plain or level, or smooth and soft: (Msb:) or anything inclining to smoothness or softness, plainness or levelness, or smoothness and softness; (JK, M, K;) inclining to have little roughness, or ruggedness and hardness; (JK, M, TA;) and ↓ سَهِلٌ signifies the same.

S.: the place where it rises, in that latitude, is S. 29 degrees E.; and the place where it sets, in the same latitude, S. 29 degrees W.: (see 10 in art. حب: and see جَنُوبٌ:)] at the time of its [auroral] rising, the fruits ripen, and the قَيْظ [q. v., here meaning the greatest heat,] ends. (K.) [بَالَ سُهَيْلٌ, which is a prov., and the saying of a poet, بَالَ سُهَيْلٌ فِى الفَضِيخِ فَفَسَدْ have been expl. in art. بول.] 'Omar Ibn-'AbdAllah Ibn-Abee-Rabeea says respecting Suheyl Ibn-'Abd-Er-Rahmán Ibn-'Owf, and his taking in marriage Eth-Thureiyà El-'Ableeyeh of the Benoo-Umeiyeh, deeming their coming together to be a strange thing by likening them to the stars named Eth-Thureiyà and Suheyl, أَيُّهَا المُنْكِحُ الثُّرَيَّا سُهَيْلًا عَمْرَكَ اللّٰهَ كَيْفَ يَلْتَقِيَانِ

هِىَ شَامِيَّةٌ إِذَا مَا اسْتَقَلَّتْ وَسُهَيْلٌ إِذَا اسْتَقَلَّ يَمَانِى

[O thou marrier of Eth-Thureiyà to Suheyl, by thine acknowledgment of the everlasting existence of God, (or, as it sometimes means, I ask God to prolong thy life,) tell me, how can they meet together? She is of the northern region when she rises, and Suheyl, when he rises, is of the southern region]. (Har p. 276. [But I have substituted اللّٰهَ for اللّٰهُ, and يَمَانِى for يَمَانٍ. See also the notice of the poet above named in the work of Ibn-Khillikán: (I have the express authority of the TA for thus writing this name:) and De Sacy's Anthol. Gramm. Arabe, p. 139.]) [Freytag states that قَدَمَا سُهَيْلٍ is the name of Two stars which are behind Canopus; on the authority of Meyd: and also mentions the name of سهيل الشام, and سهيل الفرد, as given to Certain stars in the constellation Anguis; adding that Canopus is distinguished from سهيل الشام by the name of سهيل اليمن.] The name of أُخْتَاسُهَيْلٍ

[The two sisters of Canopus] is applied to الشِّعْرَى

العَبُورُ [or Sirius] and الشِّعْرَى الغُمَيْصَآءُ [or Procyon], together. (S and K in art. شعر.) [See also حَضَارِ and الوَزْنُ.]

(K.) مُسْهَلٌ Relaxed, or loosened, by medicine; applied to the belly: no credit is to be given to people's saying مَسْهُولٌ, unless an express authority be found for it. (Msb.) مُسْهِلٌ: see سَهُولٌ. [Also an attenuant medicine.]

شيب

1 شَابَ, aor. ـِ inf. n. شَيْبٌ and شَيْبَةٌ (Msb, TA) and مَشِيبٌ, (TA,) He became whitehaired, or hoary. (Msb, TA.) And شاب رَأْسُهُ (S,) and رَأْسُهَا, (Msb, TA,) inf. n. شَيْبٌ and شَيْبَةٌ, (S,) His head, and her head, became white, or hoary. (S, Msb, TA.) b2: [Hence,] شَابَتْ رُؤُوسُ الآكَامِ (tropical:) [The heads, or summits, of the hills became white, or hoary]. (A.) A2: and شاب الرَّأْسَ It whitened the head: so expl. by ISk as used in the following saying, (S,) ascribed by J to 'Adee, but it is of 'Abeed Ibn-El-Abras: (IB, TA:) تَصْبُو وَأَنَّى لَكَ التَّصَابِى

↓ وَالرَّأْسُ قَدْ شَابَهُ المَشِيبُ [Thou inclinest to silly and youthful conduct: but whence cometh to thee the inclining to such conduct when hoariness, or the entering upon the period of hoariness, hath whitened the head?]. (S, * IB, TA.) [See also 2.]2 شيّبهُ الحُزْنُ, (Ks, S, A,) and شيّب الحُزْنُ رَأْسَهُ, and بِرَأْسِهِ, (Ks, S, Msb, K,) which last is a strange phrase, as it exhibits together two means by which a verb is rendered trans., [namely, the doubling of the medial radical letter of the verb and the introduction of the prep. بِ,] (TA,) Grief rendered him white-headed, or hoary-headed; (Ks, S, A, Msb, K;) as also ↓ اشابهُ, (A,) and ↓ اشاب رَأْسَهُ and بِرَأْسِهِ. (Ks, S, Msb, K. *) 4 اشاب, said of a man, He had children that had become white-headed, or hoary. (S, TA.) A2: See also the next preceding paragraph, in two places.

شَيْبٌ The hair (K, TA) itself: sometimes it is thus called: (TA:) [but app. only when white, or hoary; in which sense it is often used; as in the TA in arts. خضب and صبغ &c.:] or (K, TA, in the CK “ and ”) whiteness of the hair, or hoariness; (A, K, TA;) as also ↓ مَشِيبٌ: (K, TA:) both signify the same [and are thus used as simple substs. and are also inf. ns.]: (S:) or the former has the latter of the two significations given above; (As, S, Mgh, Msb;) and is little and much [whiteness of the hair]: one says, عَلَاهُ الشَّيْبُ [Whiteness of the hair, or hoariness, came upon him]: (TA:) but ↓ مَشِيبٌ signifies a man's entering upon the period of whiteness of the hair, or hoariness: (As, S, Msb:) see an ex. of this latter in the first paragraph. In the phrase in the Kur [xix. 3], وَاشْتَعَلَ الرَّأْسُ شَيْبًا, (S,) meaning And whiteness of the hair of the head hath spread therein like as the radiance of fire spreads in firewood, (Jel,) [or the head has become glistening with whiteness of the hair, or hoariness,] شيبا is in the accus. case as a specificative: or, accord. to Akh, as an inf. n., as though it were said وَشَابَ الرَّأْسُ شَيْبًا. (S, TA. *) شِيبٌ, of a whip, a genuine Arabic word of wellknown meaning; (S;) The thong (K, TA) at the upper extremity (TA) of a whip: (K, TA:) there are two of such thongs, called شِيبَانِ. (TA.) A2: Also A word imitative of the sounds made by the lips of camels (S, K) in drinking. (S.) A3: and pl. of أَشْيَبُ [q. v.]. (S, K, &c.) شُيُبٌ a pl. of which the sing. is doubted: see أَشْيَبُ.

شَيْبَةٌ an inf. n. of 1 [q. v.]. (S, Msb.) b2: and accord. to El-Khafájee, A white, or hoary, beard: but MF says that this is a conventional postclassical meaning. (TA.) A2: [Also, in the present day, applied to A species of artemisia; (Forskål's Flor. Aegypt. Arab., p. lxxiii., no. 439;) the artemisia arborescens of Linn.: (Delile's Flor. Aegypt. Illustr., no. 799:) b2: and Lichen; (Forskål ubi suprà;) the lichen prunastri of Linn. (Delile, ib., no. 976 (assumed tropical:) .) And شَيْبَةُ الجَبَلِ Lichen scyphifer. (Forskål, p. lxxviii., no. 559.)]

شَيْبَانُ: see أَشْيَبُ; near the end of the paragraph: b2: and see also the paragraph here following.

شِيبَانُ and مِلْحَانُ, (S, A,) thus in a verse of El-Kumeyt, as related by Ibn-Selemeh, with kesr to the ش and م, (S,) or the former word is written ↓ شَيْبَانُ, and sometimes شِيبَانُ, and the latter is as above, (K,) and sometimes مَلْحَانُ, (TA,) (tropical:) The two months of winter; (A, TA;) [as though meaning the second of the Six Seasons, commencing two months after the autumnal equinox; (see the former of the two tables in p.

1254;)] i. q. شَهْرَا قِمَاحٍ, (S, A, K, TA,) which are the two coldest months; (S, K, TA;) so called because of the earth's being then white with snow and hoar frost; (S, TA;) falling at the period of the [auroral] rising of the Scorpion and the Vulture, (العَقْرَب and النَّسْر, [by which latter is meant النَّسْرُ الوَاقِعُ, i. e. the star a of Lyra,]) said by him who knows not to be the two Kánoons [i. e. كَانُونُ الأَوَّلُ and كَانُونُ الثَّانِى, corresponding to December and January O.S.]: (TA:) [it appears that they nearly agree with the two Kánoons; for El-Kazweenee and others say that القَلْبُ (i. e. the heart of the Scorpion, which is the 18th of the Mansions of the Moon,) and النَّسْرُ الوَاقِعُ rise together, and their auroral rising in Central Arabia, about the commencement of the era of the Flight, accord. to my calculation, (see مَنَازِلُ القَمَرِ in art. نزل,) was on the 25th of November O. S.: see also مِلْحَانُ, and قِمَاحٌ: it is also said that] شِيبَانُ [used alone] is a name of [the month] كانون الاوّل, because of the whiteness of the earth by reason of the hoar-frost and snow. (Mgh.) شِيَابٌ and شِيَابَةٌ [the former erroneously written by Golius شَيَّابٌ]: see شَوْبٌ, in art. شوب.

شَيُوبٌ: see أَشْيَبُ.

شَائِبٌ [Being, or becoming, white-haired, or hoary]: see أَشْيَبُ. b2: شَيْبٌ شَائِبٌ is a phrase like لَيْلٌ لَائِلٌ, (S,) or like شِعْرٌ شَاعِرٌ: it means Intense whiteness of the hair. (TA.) أَشْيَبُ White-haired, white-headed, or horary: (S, A, Mgh, Msb, K:) [it is said to be] anomalous in form; (S, Mgh, Msb;) for an epithet of this measure is only formed [by rule] from a verb of the measure فَعِلَ, aor. ـْ (S, TA;) and it is a condition of the formation of such an epithet that it must denote a defect or the like, or a colour: but أَشْيَبُ signifies white-headed, or hoaryheaded; [so that it does denote a colour;] and ElKhafájee says that it is reckoned among epithets denoting defects, or blemishes, like أَعْمَى and أَعْرَجُ: (MF, TA:) it is said in the K that it has no فَعْلَآء, i. e., (TA,) the epithet شَيْبَآءُ is not applied to a woman; (Msb, TA;) شَمْطَآءُ being used in its stead; (TA;) though one says شَابَ رَأْسُهَا: (Msb, TA:) [but see Har p. 418, where شَيْبَآءُ is mentioned, applied to a woman, as meaning aged, and white, or hoary, in the head: and see شَيْبَآءُ in art. شوب:] the pl. is شِيبٌ; (S, A, Mgh, Msb, K;) with which is syn. شُيَّبٌ; (TA, as from the K; [but not found by me in the copies of the K to which I have had access;]) and ↓ شُيُبٌ: (K, TA:) this last is said by IM to be allowable in poetry, عَلَى التَّمَامِ [here meaning as though it were a word composed of sound letters]; and this is the assertion of the lexicologists [in general]: ISd thinks it to be pl. of ↓ شَائِبٌ [q. v.], like as بُزُلٌ is of بَازِلٌ; or pl. of ↓ شَيُوبٌ [which app. meansvery white or hoary in the head], accord. to the dial. of the people of El-Hijáz, who say دَجَاجَةٌ بَيُوضٌ and دَجَاجٌ بُيُضٌ. (TA.) b2: [Hence,] one says, رَأَيْتُ الجِبَالَ شِيبًا (tropical:) I saw the mountains white with snow and hoar frost. (A, TA.) and شِيبٌ [used alone] signifies (assumed tropical:) Mountains upon which snow falls, and which are white, or hoary, therewith: (S, L:) or mountains white with snow or with dust: and, some say, white clouds: sing.

أَشْيَبُ. (L, TA.) And, applied to truffles (كَمْأَة), (assumed tropical:) White and large: (TA:) or simply white. (Id. voce تَعَاشِيبُ.) b3: يَوْمٌ أَشْيَبُ (assumed tropical:) A day in which are cold and clouds and صُرَاد [correctly صُرَّاد, meaning thin clouds, or cold and humid clouds, in which is no water]; as also ↓ يَوْمٌ شَيْبَانُ. (K.) b4: لَيْلَةُ الشَّيْبَآءِ, (K,) or لَيْلَةُ شَيْبَآءَ, (TA,) and لَيْلَةٌ شَيْبَآءُ, (TA voce حُرٌّ,) (assumed tropical:) The last night of the [lunar] month: (K, TA:) its first night is called لَيْلَةُ حُرَّةٍ and لَيْلَةٌ حُرَّةٌ. (K voce حُرٌّ.) بَاتَتْ بِلَيْلَةِ شَيْبَآءَ, and بِلَيْلَةِ الشَّيْبَآءِ: see in art. شوب.

مَشِيبٌ: see شَيْبٌ, in two places.

وتر

1 وَتَرَهُ, aor. ـِ inf. n. وَتْرٌ; (Msb;) and ↓ اوترهُ; (S, Msb, K;) He made it, (a number, Msb,) sole; or one, and no more: syn. أَفَذَّهُ, (S, K,) or أَفْرَدَهُ. (Msb.) It is said that the latter verb only is used in relation to a number; but both are said to be thus used in the M [as well as in the Msb.] (TA.) b2: [And He made it to be an odd number.] You say, وَتَرَ القَوْمَ, (M, K,) aor. ـِ inf. n. وَتْرٌ; (M;) and ↓ أَوْتَرَهُمْ; (M, K;) He made the people, they being an even number, to be an odd number. (M, K, TA.) 'Atà says, كَانَ القَوْمُ وِتْرًا فَشَفَعْتُهُمْ وَكَانُوا شَفْعًا فَوَتَرْتُهُمْ [The people were an odd number and I made them an even number, and they were an even number and I made them an odd number]. (TA.) You say also, وَتَرَ الصَّلَاةَ, (Msb, K,) and ↓ أَوْتَرَهَا, (T, S, Msb, K,) and ↓ وَتَّرَهَا, (K,) and فِىالصَّلَاةِ ↓ أَوْتَرَ, (Lh, M,) He made the prayer to be such as is termed وِتْر [i. e., to consist of an odd number of rek'as; as is done in the case of a prayer which is performed in the night, consisting of three rek'ahs, and particularly called صَلَاةُ الوِتْرِ]; (S, * Msb, K; *) he performed prayers of double rek'ahs, two and two together, and then performed the prayer of one rek'ah at the end, making what he performed an odd number: (T:) and ↓ أَوْتَرَ, alone, signifies he performed the prayer called الوِتْر [explained above]; (T, M, A, Mgh, K;) or he performed prayers of [an odd number of rek'ahs,] two and two together, and then a single rek'ah at the end. (TA.) It is said in a trad. إِنَّ اللّٰهَ وِتْرٌ يُحِبُّ الوِتْرَ فَأَوْتِرُوا يَا أَهْلَ الْقُرْآنِ [Verily God is one only: He loveth the odd number: therefore perform ye the prayer of an odd number of rek'ahs, O people of the Kur-án]. (T.) And in another trad., إِذَا اسْتَجْمَرْتَ فَأَوْتِرْ When thou employest stones in the purification termed إِسْتِنْجَآء, use an odd number; (TA;) i. e. use three stones for that purpose, or five, or seven, and not an even number.

(TA.)

(O, K.) فَجْرٌ [Daybreak; dawn;] the light of morning; (Mgh, K;) because it is a cleaving of the darkness from before the light; (Mgh;) i. e., the redness of the sun in the darkness of night; (K;) the فَجْر in the end of the night is like the شَفَق in the beginning thereof: (S, O:) it is twofold: the first is called الفَجْرُ الكَاذِبُ [the false dawn]; that which rises without extending laterally, (المُسْتَطِيلُ, Mgh, Msb,) which appears black, presenting itself like an obstacle (مُعْتَرِضًا) [on the horizon]: (Msb:) [see ذَنَبُ السِّرْحَانِ, in art. سرح:] the second is called الفَجْرُ الصَّادِقُ [the true dawn]; which is the rising and spreading [dawn], (المُسْتَطِيرُ, Mgh, Msb,) which appears rising, and fills the horizon with its whiteness; and this is what is called عَمُودُ الصُّبْحِ; rising after the former has disappeared; and by its rising the day commences, and everything by which fasting would be broken becomes unlawful to the faster. (Msb.) b2: Hence, The time of the فَجْر. (Mgh.) b3: And The prayer of that time: the prefixed noun being suppressed. (Mgh.) b4: الفَجْرُ and البَحْرُ [in a saying mentioned voce بَحْرٌ, the former here written الفَجَرُ, and said to be مُحَرَّكَة, but app. by mistake, for it is afterwards written الفَجْرُ,] are metonymically applied to (tropical:) The troubles of the present state of existence. (TA.) فَجَرٌ (assumed tropical:) Donation; (K;) generosity; (AO, S, K;) bounty, or munificence; (K;) or large, or ample, bounty or munificence; (AO, TA;) and goodness, or beneficence. (K.) b2: And Property. (Kr, K.) And Much property. (O.) And Abundance of property. (K, TA.) Aboo-Mihjen EthThakafee says, فَقَدْ أَجُودُ وَمَا مَالِى بِذِى فَجَرٍ

[And verily, or often, I practise liberality, or bounty, while my property is not abundant]. (TA.) فُجَرُ: see فَاجِرٌ, latter half.

فَجْرَةُ is a proper name, [i. e. an attributive proper name,] imperfectly decl., like بَرَّةُ; [and signifies the same as الفَجْرَةُ and فَجَارِ;] and ↓ فَجَارِ is altered from فَجْرَةٌ, (IJ, TA,) or from الفَجْرَةُ, (Sb, TA,) and is a subst. in the sense of الفُجُورُ [i. e. Vice, immorality, wickedness, unrighteousness, sin, or transgression, &c., (see 1,)] (S,) or a name for الفَجْرَةُ [which signifies the same], (O,) like قَطَامِ, (S, O,) determinate, (S,) occurring in a verse of En-Nábighah cited in the first paragraph of art. حمل.

(TA.) فُجْرَةٌ: see مَفْجَرٌ, in two places.

فِجَارٌ [a pl. of which the sing. is not mentioned] Roads, or ways; (K, TA;) like فِجَاجٌ [pl. of فَجٌّ, q. v.]. (TA.) A2: أَيَّامُ الفِجَارِ is an appellation applied to Four أَفْجِرَة; (K, TA;) the four أَفْجِرَة meaning days [i. e. conflicts] of the Arabs; the single day thereof being termed الفِجَارُ: (S, O, TA:) they took place at 'Okádh; and those engaged therein transgressed, and held to be allowable everything that should be sacred; as is said in the A: they were called فِجَارُ الرَّجُلِ and فِجَارُ المَرْأَةِ and فِجَارُ القِرْدِ and فِجَارُ البَرَّاضِ; the last, which was the greatest onslaught, being thus called in relation to El-Barrád Ibn-Keys, who slew 'Orweh Er-Rahhál: (TA:) they were between Kureysh with their associates of Kináneh on the one side and Keys-'Eylán on the other side, (S, O, K,) in the Time of Ignorance; (S, O;) and the [final] defeat befell Keys; it occurred in the sacred months; and when they fought therein, they said فَجَرْنَا; (S, O, K;) therefore Kureysh called this war فِجَار; (S, O, TA; *) فِجَارٌ, like مُفَاجَرَةٌ, being an inf. n. of فَاجَرَ, expl. above, on the authority of the R. (TA.) b2: And فِجَارَاتُ العَرَبِ signifies The vyings of the Arabs in glorying, or boasting. (TA.) فَجُورٌ: see the paragraph here following.

فَاجِرٌ Inclining, leaning, declining, or deviating. (S, TA.) Declining (سَاقِطٌ) from the road.

(TA.) And one says يَمِينٌ فَاجِرَةٌ meaning (tropical:) A false oath: (Mgh in art. غمس:) a tropical phrase. (Mgh in the present art.) b3: فَاجِرٌ and ↓ فَجُورٌ, (K, TA,) the latter of which is applied to a woman as well as to a man, (TA,) and ↓ فَاجُورٌ, (K, TA,) which is mentioned by Sgh, (TA,) are all epithets from فَجَرَ, and signify [most frequently Acting vitiously, immorally, unrighteously, sinfully, or wickedly; or vitious, immoral, &c.; transgressing, or a transgressor; quitting, or one who quits, the way of truth, or justice; forsaking, or a forsaker of, the command of God; departing, or a departer, from the right way, or from obedience; disobedient; or] launching forth, or one who launches forth, into acts of disobedience: [but the second and third are intensive epithets:] also committing adultery or fornication; or an adulterer or a fornicator: (K, TA:) and the first signifies also enchanting, or an enchanter: (Sgh, K, TA:) the pl. of the first is فُجَّارٌ and فَجَرَةٌ; and the pl. of the second and third is فُجُرٌ. (K, TA.) ↓ فُجَرُ is altered from فَاجِرٌ, for the sake of intensiveness, and is [determinate, and] seldom used except in the vocative form of speech: you say [in addressing a number of men] يَا لَفُجَرَ [for يَا آلَ فُجَرَ, like as you say يَا لَغُدَرَ for يَا آلَ غُدَرَ, q. v.; and meaning O ye very vitious, &c.]; occurring in a trad. of 'Áïsheh. (TA.) And ↓ فَجَارِ, (K, TA,) like قَطَامِ, (TA,) is a noun altered from الفَاجِرَةُ (K, TA) [or from فَاجِرَةُ]: you say (S, O, K) to a woman (S, O) يَا فَجَارِ (S, O, K) meaning يَا فَاجِرَةُ [O vitious woman, &c.]. (S, O.) A2: And فَاجِرٌ signifies also Having much wealth, or property: (K, TA:) in this sense, a possessive epithet [from فَجَرٌ, q. v.]. (TA.) فَاجُورٌ: see the next preceding paragraph.

(TA.) مَفَاجِرُ الوَادِى signifies The parts, of the valley, into which the torrent disperses itself: (S, O, TA:) and الوَادِى ↓ فُجْرَةُ, (K, TA,) which would seem to be with fet-h [to the ف] from its not being restricted by the mention of any syll. signs, [and is so in the CK,] but is correctly with damm, (TA,) the wide part of the valley, into which the water pours. (K, TA.) And مَفَاجِرُ الدِّبَارِ signifies The places opened for the flowing of the water of the دبار, pl. of دَبْرَةٌ [q. v.]. (Mgh.) مَفْجَرَةٌ: see the next preceding paragraph.

It is said in a trad., يَكَادُ يَفْرَعُ النَّاسَ طُولًا (O, TA) He is, or was, near to overtopping the people, or surpassing them in tallness. (TA.) And one says, فَرَعَ فِى قَوْمِهِ i. e. طَالَ [app. meaning He surpassed in tallness among his people or party]; as also ↓ افرع. (TA.)

(Hájjee Khaleefeh.) b4: And (tropical:) The hair of a woman: pl. as above [app. used in a collective sense like the French “ cheveux ”]: (K, TA:) one says اِمْرَأَةٌ طَوِيلَةُ الفُرُوعِ [meaning (tropical:) A long-haired woman].

(K.) A3: Also, i. e. فَرْعٌ, Property that is beneficial, or serviceable, and made ready, or prepared: (O, K, TA:) or, accord. to the S, it is ↓ فَرَعٌ which has this signification; but this is said by Sgh [app. in the TS], and after him by the author of the K, to be a mistake; and a verse in which it occurs with the ر quiescent is cited in the O and K as an ex. of it in this sense: it may be, however, that the poet has made the ر quiescent of necessity [by poetic license, for the sake of the metre]; or it may here [properly] signify

“ a branch,” and be metonymically used as meaning recent property. (TA.) A4: See also the next paragraph, latter half.

فَرَعٌ The firstling of the camel, (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K,) or of the sheep or goat, (L, K,) which they used to sacrifice to their gods, (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K,) looking for a blessing thereby; (S, O, Msb;) and ↓ فَرَعَةٌ signifies the same: (Mgh, Msb:) hence, (Mgh, O, K,) it is said in a trad., [implying the prohibition of this custom,] لَا فَرَعَ وَلَا عَتِيرَةٌ, (S, O, K, *) or وَلَا عَتِيرَةَ ↓ لَا فَرَعَةَ: (Mgh: [see عَتِيرَةٌ:]) or when the camels amounted to the number for which their owner wished, they sacrificed [a firstling]: (TA:) or when one's camels amounted to a complete hundred, (K, TA,) he sacrificed a he-camel thereof every year, and gave it to the people to eat, neither he nor his family tasting it, or rather, it is said, (TA,) he sacrificed a young, or youthful, he-camel to his idol: and the Muslims used to do it in the first part of ElIslám: then it was abrogated: (K, TA:) accord. to the Bári' and the Mj, the firstling of camels and also that of sheep or goats are thus called: (Msb:) the pl. [of فَرَعٌ] is فُرُعٌ, with two dammehs. (K.) It is said in a prov., أَوَّلُ الصَّيْدِ فَرَعٌ [The first of what are taken by the chase or the like is a فرع] as being likened to a firstling: so says Yezeed Ibn-Murrah. (TA. [See Freytag's Arab. Prov., i. 35.]) b2: The poet Ows Ibn-Hajar, (S, O,) or Bishr Ibn-Abee-Kházim, has used it as meaning The skin of a فَرَع; (S, O; *) suppressing the prefix جِلْد: (S:) for they used to clothe with its skin another young one of a camel, in order that the mother of the one sacrificed might incline to it [and yield her milk]. (O; and the like is said in the TA.) A2: Also, and ↓ فَرْعٌ, Lice: (S, K:) or, as some say, small lice: (TA:) and one thereof is termed ↓ فَرَعَةٌ and ↓ فَرْعَةٌ: (S, K:) or, accord. to some, فرعة signifies a large louse. (TA.) A3: And the former (فَرَعٌ), Food that is prepared [app. for persons invited to partake of it] on the occasion of camels' bringing forth; like as خُرْسٌ signifies such as is on the occasion of a woman's bringing forth. (TA.) b2: And A portion, or share; syn. قِسْمٌ: (O, K, TA:) accord. to some, peculiarly of water. (TA.) b3: See also فَرْعٌ, last quarter.

(TA. [See also فَارِعَةٌ.]) b2: and فَرْعَةُ الجُلَّةِ The highest, or uppermost, of the dates of the [receptacle called] جُلَّة [q. v.].

A5: It is also a pl. of فَارِعٌ [q. v.]. (O, K.) فُرُوعُ الجَوْزَآءِ means The most intense degree of heat: (S, O, TA:) [or rather الفُرُوعُ is a name of a certain asterism of الجَوْزَآءُ (which is an appel-lation of Orion and of Gemini, either whereof may be here appropriately meant,) at the season of the auroral rising of which the heat becomes most intense:] Aboo-Khirásh says, وَظَلَّ لَهَا يَوْمٌ كَأَنَّ أُوَارَهُ ذَكَا النَّارِ مِنْ نَجْمِ الفُرُوعِ طَوِيلُ

[And a day continued to them, the heat whereof was as though it were the blazing of fire, from the asterism of the فُرُوعِ; a long day]: (S, * O, TA:) in the S, وَظَلَّ لَنَا; but correctly لَهَا, meaning to the she-asses: (TA:) and Aboo-Sa'eed related it as above with the unpointed ع in الفروع: (S, * TA:) in the same manner, also, it is expl. by him as used in the phrase فَيْحُ نَجْمِ الفُرُوعِ [which I would render the vehement raging of the heat of the asterism of the فروع] in a verse of Umeiyeh Ibn-Abee-'Áïdh: El-Jumahee related it differently, with غ; but the فُرُوغ [or rather the فَرْغَانِ] are of the stars of Aquarius; and the season thereof [i. e. of their auroral rising] is cold; there is then no فيح. (TA.) فُرَيْعٌ, occurring [with tenween, perfectly decl.,] in a verse of Umeiyeh Ibn-Abi-s-Salt, (O, K,) i. q. ↓ فِرْعَوْنُ, (O,) which is a proper name of such as was King of the Amalekites [or rather of the ancient Egyptians, in general], like as قَيْصَر was of the Room [or Greeks of the Lower Empire], and كِسْرَى of the Persians, (Ksh in ii.

46,) [and also] a foreign word, (Msb,) [wherefore it is imperfectly decl., in Hebr.

פַּרְעֹה, i. e. Pharaoh,] a dial. var. of فِرْعَوْنُ, or used by poetic license: (K:) the pl. of the latter is فَرَاعِنَةٌ. (Msb.) فِرْعَوْنُ: see the next preceding paragraph.

فَارِعٌ [Overtopping, or surpassing in height or tallness: this seems to be the primary signification]. You say جَبَلٌ فَارِعٌ A mountain higher, or taller, than what is next to it. (S, O.) b2: and High, or tall; applied to a man, and to an extended gibbous piece of sand. (TA.) b3: and High, or elevated; goodly in form or aspect or appearance; beautiful: (Aboo-'Adnán, O, K:) or [simply] high [app. in rank or dignity]: (IAar, O:) and also low, ignoble, or mean: (IAar, O, K:) thus having two contr. significations. (O, K.) b4: And a man of the Arabs said, ↓ لَقِيتُ فُلَانًا فَارِعًا مُفْرِعًا, meaning [I met such a one] one of us ascending and the other descending. (S, O, TA.)

(TA.) فَارِعَةٌ The higher, or highest, part of a mountain [and of a valley]: one says, اِنْزِلْ بِفَارِعَةِ الوَادِى

وَاحْذَرْ أَسْفَلَهُ [Alight thou in the higher, or highest, part of the valley, and beware of its lower, or lowest, part]. (S, O.) See also فَرْعَةٌ, in two places. b2: الفَارِعَةُ مِنَ الغَنَائِمِ means The surplus that is deducted [so I render المُرْتَفِعَةُ الصَّاعِدَةُ, app. such things as cannot be divided and are therefore removed,] from the main stock of the spoils before they are divided into fifths. (TA.) b3: And فَوَارِعٌ, (pl. of فَارِعَةٌ, TA,) applied to تِلَاع, [a word variously explained, here, I think, used as signifying either high, or low, grounds, (see its sing. تَلْعَةٌ,)] (S, O, * K, *) means Of which the channels wherein the torrents flow are in high, or elevated, parts. (S, O, K.) فَيْفَرْعٌ (K, TA) and فَيْفَرَعٌ (TA) A species of trees. (K, TA.) أَفْرَعُ Free from deficiency in the hair [of the head]; (S, O, K;) contr. of أَصْلَعُ; (IDrd, S, O, K;) used only in this sense; not applied to a man who is large in the beard or in the whole head of hair: (IDrd, S, O:) the Prophet was أَفْرَع, (S, O,) and so was Aboo-Bekr, (O, K,) and 'Omar was أَصْلَع: (O:) fem. فَرْعَآءُ; (S, O, K;) accord. to IDrd, applied to a woman as meaning having much hair: (S, O:) pl. فُرْعَانٌ, (O, K,) like its contr. صُلْعَانٌ; (O;) and also فُرْعٌ. (K.) 'Omar, being asked, “Are the صُلْعَان better or the فُرْعَان,” said “ The فرعان are better,” meaning to assert the superior excellence of Aboo-Bekr over himself. (O.) b2: فَرْعَآءُ الطَّرِيقِ: see فَرْعَةٌ.

A2: Also i. q. مُوَسْوِسُ [app. as meaning Such as is subject to diabolical promptings or suggestions]: so in the trad., لَا يَؤُمَّنَّكُمُ الأَفْرَعُ [The افرع shall by no means act as your Imám]. (Nh, K, TA.) مُفْرَعٌ Anything tall. (TA.) b2: مُفْرَعُ الكَتِفِ A man broad in the shoulder-blade: (S, O, TA:) or high therein. (TA.)

لقط

1 لَقَطَهُ, (S, Mgh, * Msb, K,) aor. ـُ inf. n. لَقْطٌ, (Msb, TA,) He picked it up, took it up, raised it, (Mgh,) or took it, (S, K,) from the ground, (S, Mgh, K,) without trouble or fatigue; as also ↓ التقطهُ: (S:) or both signify he took it from a place where it was not thought to be; this being the primary signification: and hence, he took it. (Msb.) It is said of a man: and you say also, لَقَطَ الطَّائِرُ الحَبَّ [The bird picked up from the ground the grains]. (Msb.) The Arabs say to a calumniator, ↓ إِنَّ عِنْدَكَ دِيكًا يَلْتَقِطُ الحَصَى [Verily thou hast a cock that picks up pebbles]. (TA.) And it is said in a proverb, أَصَيْدَ القُنْفُذِ أَمْ لَقْطَهُ [Is it by the hunting of the hedgehog or the picking up thereof from the ground?] applied to a poor man who becomes rich suddenly. (TA.) [In Freytag's Arab. Prov. (i. 726,) أَصَيْدُ القُنْفُذِ أَمْ لُقَطَةٌ: and there asserted to be said of him who finds a thing which he had not sought: or, accord. to Sharafed-Deen, of a thing of the nature of which we may be uncertain.] You say also, لَقَطْتُ العِلْمِ مِنَ الكُتُبِ (assumed tropical:) [I picked up science, or knowledge, from books;] I acquired science, or knowledge, from this and that book. (Msb.) And لَقَطْتُ

أَصَابِعَهُ (assumed tropical:) I took off his fingers, by cutting, without [the main part of] the hand. (Msb.) 3 مُلَاقَطَةٌ A horse's lifting the legs all together in the pace called تَقْرِيب: (AO, K: *) or, in the pace called خَبَب, of a horse, it is similar to مُنَاقَلَةٌ. (JK.) A2: Also, (K,) and ↓ لِقَاطٌ, (TA,) The being over against, or facing. (K, TA.) You say, دَارُهُ بِلِقَاطِ دَارِى His house is over against, or faces, my house. (Lh, K.) and لَقِيتُهُ لِقَاطاً I met him face to face. (IAar.) 5 تلقّط فُلَانٌ التَّمْرَ, or الثَّمَرَ, (S, accord. to different copies, and K, *) Such a one, [picked up, or] took up from the ground, from this and that place, the dates, or the fruits. (S, K. *) 8 التقطهُ: see 1, in two places. b2: Also, He collected it. (Msb.) b3: And (tropical:) He stumbled upon it, or lighted on it, (K, TA,) unexpectedly, (TA,) without seeking; (K, TA;) such a thing, for instance, as a well, and herbage. (TA.) Yousay also, وَرَدْتُ الشَّىْءَ الْتِقَاطًا (tropical:) I came upon the thing unexpectedly, or unawares; (S, TA:) and لَقِيتُهُ الْتِقَاطًا (tropical:) I met him unexpectedly: (TA:) التقاطا in this sense being one of those inf. ns. which are used as denotatives of state. (Sb, TA.) لَقَطٌ What is picked up, or taken from the ground, (S, Msb, K,) of a thing; (S, Msb;) as also ↓ لُقْطَةٌ and ↓ لُقَطَةٌ and ↓ لُقَاطَةٌ: (K:) or ↓ this last signifies what one picks up, of lost property; as also ↓ لُقَاطٌ, with the ة elided; and ↓ لُقَطَةٌ like رُطَبَةٌ: (Msb:) or ↓ لُقَاطَةٌ signifies also what falls, or drops, of a thing that is worthless, (K, TA,) or paltry, and is taken by any one who chooses to take it: (TA:) and the same, what is picked up from the stumps of the branches of palm-trees, [app. meaning dates picked up thence,] after the cutting off of the dates: (TA:) IAth says, that ↓ لُقَطَةٌ, with damm to the ل and fet-h to the ق, is often mentioned in trads., and signifies property which is found: (TA:) Az says, that لُقَطَةٌ, with fet-h to the ق, signifies a thing which one finds dropped, or thrown down, and takes; (Mgh, Msb;) and that all the lexicologists and skilful grammarians say so; (Msb;) and in like manner, A 'Obeyd, on the authority of As and of El-Ahmar; (TA;) only Lth, of all whom he has heard, saying that it is ↓ لُقْطَةٌ, with sukoon; (Mgh, Msb;) and Fr: (TA:) IF and ElFárábee and others mention only ↓ لُقَطَةٌ; and some reckon the pronunciation with sukoon as an error of the vulgar; and the reason is this; that the original word is ↓ لُقَاطَةٌ, which, in consequence of its being in frequent use, as applied to what is picked up in plundering, is contracted, sometimes, by the elision of the ة, into ↓ لُقَاطٌ, and sometimes, by the elision of the ا into ↓ لُقَطَةٌ; and if they made the ق quiescent, there would be two alterations in the word, and such double alteration does not exist in chaste language: (Msb:) IB, however, says that ↓ لُقْطَةٌ is correct; and he approves it; because فُعْلَةٌ has the sense of a pass. part. n., as in the instance of ضُحْكَةٌ; and فُعَلَةٌ has the sense of an act. part. n., as in the instance of ضُحَكَةٌ; and that it occurs in poetry: and IAth observes, that some say thus; but that ↓ لُقَطَةٌ is more common and more correct. (TA.) Anything that is scattered, of ears of corn, or of fruit; n. un. with ة: (TA:) what is picked up, or taken from the ground, (S, Msb, K,) by men, (S,) of ears of corn; (S, Msb, K;) as also ↓ لُقَاطٌ, with damm: (S:) and ↓ لَقَاطٌ, like سَحَابٌ, the ears of corn which the reaping-hooks miss, (AHn, K,) and which men pick up. (AHn.) What is picked up from a mine: (Msb:) pieces of gold found in a mine; (K;) or such are termed لَقَطُ مَعْدِنٍ: (S:) or لَقَطٌ signifies pieces of gold, or of silver, like what are termed شَذْر, and larger, in mines; which are the best thereof: and one says ذَهَبٌ لَقَطٌ: (Lth:) and ↓ مُلْتَقَطٌ, also, signifies gold found in a mine. (TA.) You say also, فِى هٰذَا المَكَانِ لَقَطٌ مِنَ المَرْتَعِ In this place is some small quantity of pasturage. (S.) And فِى الأَرْضِ لَقَطٌ لِلْمَالِ In the land is pasturage not much in quantity for the beasts. (TA.) The pl. is أَلْقَاطٌ. (TA.) لُقْطَةٌ: see لَقَطٌ, throughout the first sentence. b2: Accord. to Lth, it [also] signifies A man who repeatedly and perseveringly seeks after things to be picked up, and picks them up: (TA:) and some say, that ↓ لُقَطَةٌ signifies one who picks up: but the more common and correct signification of this latter is “ property which is found,” as before stated. (IAth.) لُقَطَةٌ: see لَقَطٌ, throughout the first sentence: — and see لُقْطَةٌ.

لَقَاطٌ: see لَقَطٌ, in the latter part of the paragraph.

لُقَاطٌ: see لَقَطٌ, in three places.

لِقَاطٌ: see 3. b2: [The act of picking up the ears of corn which the reaping-hooks miss;] the act denoted in the explanation of لَقَاطٌ. (JK, K, TA.) You say, هُوَ يَتَعَيَّشُ بِالِلّقَاطِ عَنِ اللَّقَاطِ [He constrains himself to obtain the means of life, or he obtains what is barely sufficient for his sustenance, by picking up, or gleaning, from the ears of corn which the reaping-hooks have missed]. (TK: but there given without any syll. signs.) [If the reading intended be بِاللَّقَاطِ عَنِ اللِّقَاطِ, the meaning of لِقَاطٌ is The act of missing ears of corn with the reapinghook; as is implied in the K, where لَقَاطٌ is imperfectly explained: but this I think improbable.] لَقَاطٌ and لِقَاطٌ are [respectively] like حَصَادٌ [as signifying what is “ reaped ”] and حِصَادٌ [as signifying the act of “ reaping ”]. (TA.) لَقِيطٌ i. q. ↓ مَلْقُوطٌ; (Msb, K;) i. e. A thing that is picked up, taken up, raised, (Mgh,) or taken, (Msb, K,) from the ground, (Mgh, K,) or from a place where it was not thought to be. (Msb.) b2: And, generally, (Mgh,) A foundling; or child that is cast out, (Az, S, Mgh, Msb, K,) and found by a man, (Az, TA,) or picked up; (S;) or because it is cast out with the object of its being picked up: (Mgh:) not what Lth asserts it to be; i. e. a child that is cast out in the roads, and there found, whose father and mother are unknown: of the measure فَعِيلٌ in the sense of the measure مَفْعُولٌ: (Az, TA:) and ↓ مَلْقُوطٌ signifies the same: (K:) [pl. of the former, لُقَطَآءُ.] b3: Also, A well upon which one lights unexpectedly, or unawares, (Lth, K,) without seeking it. (Lth.) لُقَاطَةٌ: see لَقَطٌ, first sentence, in four places.

لَقِيطَةٌ applied to a man, and to a woman, (tropical:) Low, ignoble, base, vile, or mean; (K, TA;) as also ↓ لَاقِطَةٌ applied to a man; (TA;) and so ↓ سَاقِطٌ مَاقِطٌ لَاقِطٌ, used together. (L in art. سقط.) It occurs in this sense preceded by سَقِيطَةٌ; but you say سَقِيطٌ when alone. (TA.) لَقَّاطٌ: see لَاقِطٌ.

لَقَّاطَةٌ: see لَاقِطٌ.

لَاقِطٌ and in an intensive sense ↓ لَقَّاطٌ and [in a doubly intensive sense] ↓ لَقَّاطَةٌ A man [who picks up things from the ground; and the second, who does so much, or often; and the third, who does so very much, or very often: or] who takes things from places where they were not thought to be: (Msb:) and all signify a man who picks up the ears of corn [that fall] when the crop is reaped, and [the fruit that falls] when the ripe dates are cut from the raceme: (TA:) and the first and second, a bird that picks up grains. (Msb.) b2: ↓ لِكُلِّ سَاقِطَةٍ لَاقِطَةٌ For every saying that falls from one, there is a person who will take it up: (Msb in art. سقط:) or for every word that falls from the mouth of the speaker, there is a person who will hear it and pick it up and publish it: (S, * K:) a proverb, (TA,) relating to the guarding of the tongue: (K:) the ة in لاقطة is to give intensiveness to the meaning, (Msb, in art. سقط,) or for the purpose of assimilation: (Msb in that art., and in the present one:) if you say لِكُلِّ ضَائِعٍ, or the like, you say لَاقِطٌ. (Msb in the present art.) b3: الحَصَى ↓ لَاقِطَةٌ The قَانِصَة [meaning stomach, &c.,] of a bird, (S, K,) in which pebbles become collected: (S:) or the omasum (قِبّة) of a sheep or goat [and the corresponding ventricle of a camel, as is shown in the TA in art. حصل; also called لَقَّاطَةُ الحَصَى (see قُرَيْحَآءُ);] because it conveys thereinto whatever it eats of earth and pebbles; (A, TA;) as also اللَّاقِطَةٌ [alone]. (TA.) A2: لَاقِطٌ also signifies (tropical:) Any freedman, or emancipated slave: (K:) or the slave of a freedman. (S in art. مقط, and TA in art. سقط:) the slave of the لاقط is called مَاقِطٌ; and the slave of the ماقط is called سَاقِطٌ: and hence the saying, هُوَ سَاقِطُ بْنُ مَاقِطِ بْنِ لَاقِطٍ. (K, TA [but in the CK, for هُوَ we find بَنُو, with the necessary difference in what follows it.]) See art. سقط. b2: See also لَقِيطَةٌ: and see أَلْقَاطٌ, which may be a pl. of لَاقِطٌ; as in لُقَّاطٌ, which is explained with أَلْقَاطٌ.

لَاقِطَةٌ: see لَاقِطٌ, in two places: A2: and see also لَقِيطَةٌ.

أَلْقَاطٌ pl. of لَقَطٌ, q. v. b2: (assumed tropical:) A small number of men, separated, or scattered, or dispersed. (S.) b3: [Also, perhaps as pl. of لَاقِطٌ, like as أَصْحَابٌ is pl. of صَاحِبٌ,] (tropical:) The refuse, or lowest, or basest, or meanest sort, of mankind, or of people; (K, * TA;) as also ↓ لُقَّاطٌ [which is doubtless a pl. of لَاقِطٌ, like as سُقَّاطٍ is of سَاقِطٌ, and مُقَّاطٌ of مَاقِطٌ]. (IAar, in TA, art. خشر.) مَلْقَطٌ [A place where a thing is picked up:] a place where a thing is sought, or to be sought: a mine: (TA:) [pl. مَلاقِطُ.] b2: أَصْبَحَتْ مَرَاعِينَا مَلَاقِطَ مِنَ الجَدْبِ Our places of pasturage became dried up, and destitute of herbage, by reason of the drought. (As.) مِلْقَطٌ A thing with which, (K,) or in which, (JM,) one picks up, or takes up, from the ground: (JM, K;) as also ↓ مِلْقَاطٌ. (TA.) مِلْقَاطٌ: see مِلْقَطٌ. b2: The [instrument called]

مِنْقَاش, (K, TA,) with which hair is plucked up. (TA.) مَلْقُوطٌ: see لَقِيطٌ, in two places. IAth explains مَالٌ مَلْقُوطٌ as signifying property found. (TA.) مُلْتَقَطٌ: see لَقَطٌ, last sentence but two. b2: Also, applied to a thing, i. q. سَاقِطٌ (assumed tropical:) [Vile, mean, or paltry]. (TA.)

(Lth, K.) You say also, خَلَسَهُ إِيَّاهُ [He seized it, or carried it off, from him by force; &c.]: (TA:) and الشَّىْءَ ↓ خَالَسْتُهُ I seized the thing, or snatched it away, from him. (Har p. 139.) And أَخَذَهُ خِلِّيسَى, i. e. ↓ اِخْتِلَاسًا [He took it by forcible seizure; &c.].
