شيم

1 شَامَ الشَّىْءَ فِى الشَّىْءِ, (K,) [aor. ـِ inf. n. شَيْمٌ, (TA,) He hid, or concealed, the thing in the thing: (K, TA:) and he inserted the thing in the thing. (TA.) [Hence,] شام سَيْفَهُ, (K,) first Pers\. شِمْتُهُ, (S,) aor. as above, (K,) inf. n. شَيْمٌ, (TA,) He sheathed his sword; (S, K;) and [in like manner] شام نَبْلَهُ [He put his arrows into the quiver]: (TA:) and the former signifies also He drew his sword: thus having two contr. meanings: (S, K:) A 'Obeyd doubted of the latter meaning; and Sh knew it not; but the verb is said to have this meaning in a verse of ElFarezdak. (TA.) It is said in a trad. of Aboo-Bekr that a complaint was made to him against Khálid Ibn-El-Weleed, and he said, لَا أَشِيمُ سَيْفًا سَلَّهُ اللّٰهُ عَلَى المُشْرِكِينَ i. e. I will not sheath a sword [which God has drawn against the believers in a plurality of gods]. (TA.) [Hence also,] one says, شام أَبَا عُمَيْرٍ (K, TA) i. e. [He sheathed] the ذَكَر; (TA;) meaning (assumed tropical:) he attained his desire of the virgin. (K, TA.) b2: And شام فِى الفَرَسِ سَاقَهُ He struck the mare with his shank to make her run: (K:) or he impressed (lit. inserted) his leg [or shank] in the belly of the mare, striking her [with it]. (Aboo-Málik; TA.) A2: شِمْتُ مَخَايِلَ الشَّىْءِ I directed my look towards the indications, or symptoms, of the thing, waiting, or watching, for it. (S.) b2: And [hence, or the reverse may be the case,] شِمْتُ البَرْقَ, (S, Msb, K, *) aor. and inf. n. as above, (Msb, TA,) I looked at, (S, K, *) or watched, or observed, (Msb,) the lightning, (Msb, K,) or the cloud thereof, to see where it would rain, (S,) or to see where it would pour, or bring rain, (Msb,) or to see whither it tended and where it would rain: (K:) this is done only when it flickers and disappears without delay: and [it is said, but, in my opinion, fancifully, and with little reason, that] the drawing and sheathing of a sword are likened to lightning flickering and disappearing. (TA.) [Hence the phrase, شِمْتُ بَرْقَ فُلَانٍ (assumed tropical:) I looked hoping for the benefits of such a one: mentioned by Freytag on the authority of Meyd: and the like is said in Har p. 319.] And شام السَّحَابَ He looked at the clouds from afar: and [in like manner,] النَّارَ the fire. (TA.) It is said in a prov., لَا تَشِمِ الغَيْثَ فَقَدْ أَوْدَى النَّقَدْ i. e. [Look not thou hoping for rain, for] the lambs have perished: addressed to him who mourns for that which has past. (Meyd.) and one says, فُلَانٌ مُوسِرٌ وَلَا أَشِيمُهُ مِنْ فَقْرٍ (assumed tropical:) [Such a one is wealthy, and I do not look at him in hope by reason of poverty]; meaning that he is independent of him. (Z, TA.) b3: [Hence also,] شِمْ مَا بَيْنَهُمَا (tropical:) Compute thou, or estimate, or consider, (K, TA,) and look, or see, (TA,) what [relation, or difference,] is between them two. (K, TA. [In the CK, شَيَّمَ is erroneously put for شِمْ; and قَدَّرَهُ, in the explanation, for قَدِّرْهُ.]) A3: شَامَ also signifies It (a thing, TA) entered, فِى شَىْءٍ into a thing; (K, TA;) quasi-pass. of the same verb in the latter of the two senses expl. in the first sentence of this art.; (TA;) and so ↓ انشام, (S, K, TA,) and ↓ اشام, and ↓ اشتام, and ↓ تشيّم, and ↓ شيّم. (K, TA.) b2: Also, (K,) aor. as above, (TA,) inf. n. شَيْمٌ and شُيُومٌ, He made a valid charge, or assault, or attack, in war, or battle. (K.) A4: Also, (K,) aor. as above, (TA,) He (a man) had a black رَقْمَة [app. meaning spot, or mole, i. e. شَامَة,] apparent in his skin. (K.) And شِيمَ, inf. n. شَيْمٌ, [perhaps a mistranscription for شَيَمٌ,] He was marked with a شَامَة [or mole]: or, as some say, [the pass. part. n.]

مَشْيُومٌ [signifying “ marked with a شامة ”] has no verb: and Az says that ↓ شَيَمٌ, signifying the having upon him a شامة, has no known verb: (TA:) or شَيَمٌ is an inf. n. signifying the having upon him شَام [i. e. moles]. (Ham p. 361.) A5: شَامَ فُلَانًا, (K,) aor. as above, (TA,) He soiled the legs, or feet, of such a one with dust, or earth: (K, TA:) in [some of] the copies of the K, غَيَّرَ رِجْلَيْهِ بِالشِّيَامِ; but correctly, [as in the CK and in my MS copy of the K,] غَبَّرَ; and accord. to the M, from الشِّيَام, [meaning that the verb is derived from this word,] i. e. التُّرَاب. (TA.) 2 شَيَّمَ see 1, in the latter half.

A2: شيّم يَدَيْهِ فِى

رَأْسِهِ, or ثَوْبِهِ, He seized his head, or his garment, fighting him. (K.) 4 أَشْيَمَ see 1, in the latter half.5 تَشَيَّمَ see 1, in the latter half. b2: تشيّمهُ الضِّرَامُ The kindling of fire entered it; namely, a wood; as used in a verse of Sá'ideh: or, as some relate it, تَسَنَّمَهُ [q. v.]. (S, TA.) And تشيّم الحَرِيقُ القَصَبَ The fire entered, and mixed with, the reeds, or canes. (TA.) b3: And تشيّمهُ الشَّيْبُ (tropical:) Hoariness came upon him, (K, TA,) and became intermixed upon him: or, accord. to IAar, became abundant upon him, and spread; (TA;) as also تَسَنَّمَهُ. (IAar, M and TA in art. سنم.) A2: تشيّم أَبَاهُ He resembled his father in شِيمة i. e. nature, or natural disposition. (IAar, K, TA.) 7 انشام: see 1, in the latter half.

A2: Also He (a man) became one who was looked at. (S, K.) 8 إِشْتَيَمَ see 1, in the latter half.

A2: Also Any land, or ground, in which one has not yet dug, remaining in its [original] hard state, (Aboo-Sa'eed, K, TA,) so that the digging therein is more difficult [than elsewhere] to the digger. (Aboo-Sa'eed, TA.) شَامَةٌ A mole, syn. خَالٌ, (S, Msb, TA,) upon the person; (Msb;) [i. e.] a pimple inclining to blackness, upon the person; (Mgh;) or a [natural] mark differing from the colour of the person upon which it is: (K, * TA:) its medial radical letter is originally ى: (S, TA:) and it is also with ء, i. e. شَأْمَةٌ: (IAth, TA:) pl. ↓ شَامٌ, (S, Msb, K,) [or rather this is a coll. gen. n.,] and [the pl. properly so termed is] شَامَاتٌ. (Msb, K.) حَتَّى تَكُونُوا كَأَنَّكُمْ شَامَةٌ فِى النَّاسِ [So that ye may be as though ye were a mole amid the people], occurring in a trad., means [that ye may] be in the goodliest garb or guise, appearing like the شامة, at which one looks exclusively of the rest of the person. (IAth, TA.) And one says, ↓ صَارُوا شَامًا فِى البِلَادِ, meaning (assumed tropical:) They became scattered [in the countries] like the شام [or moles] upon the person. (TA.) b2: Also A black mark upon the person, [an explanation which seems to apply, like the former in the K, to a mole, though given as differing therefrom,] and upon the ground: pl. [or coll. gen. n.] ↓ شَامٌ. (K.) b3: It is also [A mark, or spot,] upon a mare, upon a place that is disapproved, and sometimes upon her دَوَائِر [which means what are termed feathers, pl. of دَائِرَةٌ, q. v.]. (ISh, TA.) b4: And A spot (نُكْتَة) [upon the face] of the moon. (K.) b5: And (tropical:) A black she-camel: (IAar, S, K, TA:) accord. to Niftaweyh, شَأْمَةٌ, with; but ISd says, I know not the reason of this, unless it be extr., like الخَأْتَمُ and العَأْلِمُ. (TA.) One says, مَا لَهُ شَامَةٌ وَلَا زَهْرَآءُ, meaning, (tropical:) He has not a black she-camel nor a white one. (S, K, TA.) شِيمَةٌ Nature; natural, native, or innate, disposition, temper, or other quality or property; (S, Msb, K;) as also شِئْمَةٌ, (K,) which is an extr. dial. var.: (TA:) pl. شِيَمٌ. (Msb.)

(S, TA.) b2: And A [covert such as is termed] كِنَاس: so called because of the wild animal's entering (لاِنْشِيَامِ الوَحْشِ i. e. دُخُولِهِ) into it. (As, S, TA.) A2: Also The rat, or mouse; syn. فَأْرٌ: (IAar, K, TA:) but written by Aboo-'Amr Ez-Záhid ↓ شَيَامٌ, and said by him to be the جُرَذ [generally meaning a large field-rat]: (TA:) pl. شِيمٌ. (K.) قَوْمٌ شُيُومٌ A people, or party, in a state of security: occurring in a trad.: and it is said that شيوم is an Abyssinian word: but, as some relate the trad., it is سُيُومٌ [q. v., voce سَائِمٌ, of which it is said to be pl.]. (TA.) أَشْيَمُ A man (S, Msb) having a شَامَة [or mole] upon his person; (Az, S, Mgh, Msb, K; *) and ↓ مَشِيمٌ (S, K) and ↓ مَشُومٌ (K) and ↓ مَشْيُومٌ (S, K) signify the same [or rather marked with a mole]: (S, * K:) or أَشْيَمُ signifies having upon him شَام [or moles]: (Ham p. 361:) fem. شَيْمَآءُ: (TA:) and pl. شِيمٌ. (S, TA.) b2: And A beast, (Lth, AO, TA,) and anything, (Lth, TA,) having upon him, or it, a [mark such as is termed] شَامَة, (Lth, AO, TA,) or [marks such as are termed] شَام. (AO, TA.) b3: And شِيمُ الإِبِلِ (assumed tropical:) Such as are black, of camels: sing., masc. and fem., as above: (TA:) occurring in this sense in a verse of Aboo-Dhueyb, as related by AA: but as heard by As, in this verse, شُومُهَا, and thought by him to be a pl. [originally شُيْم] of أَشْيَمُ. (S.) See also أَشْأَمُ (in art. شأم), last sentence.

مَشُومٌ: see the next preceding paragraph.

A2: And see مَشْؤُومٌ, in art. شأم.

وحد

1 وَحَدَ, aor. ـِ (T, L, Msb;) and وَحِدَ, (Lh, M, L, K,) aor. ـْ (Lh) and يَحِدُ; (K;) with the latter aor. , like وَرِثَ, aor. ـِ but وَحِدَ with this aor. is not mentioned by the lexicologists or grammarians [except F]; (MF;) [and its aor. is therefore probably يَوْحَدُ, only, agreeably with analogy, for which reason it seems to be omitted in the M;] and وَحُدَ, (Lh, M, L, Msb, K,) aor. also يَحِدُ; (K;) but this is without a parallel, and without any authority [except F]; (MF;) or يَوْحَدُ; (L;) [but this is also extr., and is probably a mistake for يَوْحُدُ, which is the form agreeable with analogy;] inf. n. حِدَةٌ (T, M, L, Msb, K) and وَحْدٌ (M, L, K) and وَحَدٌ (L) and وَحْدَةٌ, (L, K,) or وُحْدَةٌ, (as in some copies of the K and in the TA) and وُحُودٌ (K) and وَحَادَةٌ (M, L, Msb, K) and وُحُودَةٌ; (K;) He, or it, was, or became, alone, by himself or itself, apart from others; (T, L, Msb;) as also [↓ إِتَّحَدَ; and ↓ توحّد; and] ↓ استوحد; (A:) he was, or became, alone, without anyone to cheer him by his society, company, or conversation: (L:) he remained alone, by himself, apart from others; (Lh, M, L, K;) as also ↓ توحّد. (M, L, K.) See also 5, below.2 وحّدهُ, (inf. n. تَوْحِيدٌ, K,) He made it one; or called it one: (K:) like as one says ثَنَاهُ, and ثَلَّثَهُ: (S, L:) as also أَحَّدَهُ. (TA.) Similar verbs are formed from the other nouns significant of numbers, to عَشَرَةٌ. (Esh-Sheybánee, K.) b2: وحّد لِامْرَأَتِهِ, or عِنْدَهَا, He remained one night with his wife: and in like manner the verb is used in relation to any saying or action. (TA, voce سَبَّعَ.) b3: وحّد اللّٰهَ, inf. n. تَوْحِيدٌ, He asserted, or declared, God to be one: he asserted, declared, or preferred belief in, the unity of God: as also احّدهُ. (T, L.) b4: التَّوْحِيدُ The belief in God alone; (L, K;) in his unity. (L.) 4 اوحد اللّٰهُ جَانِبَهُ [God rendered him solitary]; i. e., he remained alone; (K;) or was made to remain alone. (L.) b2: اوحدهُ لِلْأَعْدَآءِ He left him [alone] to the enemies. (L, K.) b3: اوحدهُ He (God) made him the unequalled one of his time: (S, L, K:) made him to have no equal. (A.) b4: اوحدهُ النَّاسُ The people left him alone, or by himself. (L.) b5: أَوْحَدْتُهُ بِرُؤْيَتِى, inf. n. إِيحَادٌ, [I singled him by my sight;] I saw none save him. (S, L.) b6: اوحدت She (a ewe) brought forth one only: (S, K:) like

أَفَذَّتْ. (S.) b7: اوحدت بِهِ She (a woman) brought him forth an unequalled one. (L, from a trad.) 5 توحّد اللّٰهُ بِعِصْمَتِهِ, (S,) or توحّدهُ بعصمته, (L, K,) God protected him himself, not committing him to the care of another. (S, L, K.) b2: توحّد بَالأَمْرِ He was, or became, alone, without any to share or participate with him, in the affair. (L.) b3: توحّد بِرَأْيِهِ He was, or became, alone, without any to share, or participate with him, in his opinion. (S, L.) b4: See 1.8 إِوْتَحَدَ [اِتَّحَدَ It was, or became, one. And hence, اِتَّحَدَ مَعَهُ He was, or became, one with him in interests &c.] b2: اتّحد It (a number of things, or substances, two and more, KT,) became one. (KT, KL.) See 1.10 إِسْتَوْحَدَ see 1.

حِدَةٌ: see وَحْدٌ. b2: فَعَلَهُ مِنْ ذَاتِ حِدَتِهِ, and عَلَى ذات حدته, and من ذِى حدته, and من ذات نَفْسِهِ, and من ذات رَأْيِهِ, He did it of himself; of his own accord; of his own judgment. (Az, L, K.) وَحْدٌ: see 1, and وَحِيدٌ. b2: رَأَيْتُهُ وَحْدَهُ (S, L, K) I saw him alone. (S, L.) وحد is here an inf. n., having no dual nor pl. (K.) The Koofees hold it to be in the acc. case as an adv. n. of place: the Basrees, as an inf. n., in every instance; as though thou saidst أَوْحَدْتُهُ بِرُؤْيَتِى إِبحَادًا, meaning “ I saw none save him,” and then substituted وحده: or, as Abu-l-'Abbás says, it may mean the man's being himself alone; as though thou saidst رَأَيْتُ رَجُلًا مُنْفَرِدًا اِنْفِرَادًا, and then substituted وحده. (S.) Or it is in the acc. case as a denotative of state accord. to the Basrees [and the grammarians in general]; not as an inf. n., J being in error in what he says on this matter: (IB, K:) the Basrees hold it to be a noun occupying the place of an inf. n. in the acc. case as a denotative of state; like جَآءَ زَيْدٌ رَكْضًا, meaning رَاكِضًا: (IB:) excepting some of them, as Yoo, who holds it to be in the acc. case as an adv. n. of place, for عَلَى وَحْدِهِ, (IB, K,) like عِنْدَهُ: (TA:) and there is a third opinion, that of Hishám; that it is in the acc. case as an inf. n. (L.) Or, (accord. to IAar, L,) it is a noun used as a noun absolutely: (L, K:) so in the dial. of the Benoo-Temeem: (Msb:) you say جَلَسَ وَحْدَهُ, and عَلَى وَحْدِهِ, and جَلَسَا عَلَى وَحْدِ هِمَا, and وَحْدَيْهِمَا, and جَلَسُوا عَلَى وَحْدِهِمْ, [He sat alone, and they two sat alone, and they sat alone]. (L, K.) When not preceded by a prefixed n. [or a prep.], it is always in the acc. case: (Lth, L:) you say, لَا إِلَاَه إِلَّا اللّٰهُ وَحْدَهُ [There is no deity but God alone]: and مَرَرْتُ بِزَيْدٍ وَحْدَهُ [I passed by Zeyd alone]: (L:) [excepting in a few cases, such as the phrases]

قُلْنَا هٰذَا الأَمْرَ وَحْدَيْنَا [We two alone said this thing], and قَالَتَاهُ وَحْدَيْهُمَا [They two women alone said it]; mentioned by Az. (L.) Yousay also, هٰذَا عَلَى وَحْدِهِ, and ↓ عَلَى حِدَتِهِ, This is by itself; (L, K;) and هُمَا عَلَى حِدَتِهِمَا They two are by themselves: and هُمْ عَلَى حِدَتِهِمْ They are by themselves: (L:) and أَعْطِ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ

مَنْهُمْ عَلَى حِدَتِهِ Give thou to every one of them by himself; syn. على حِيَالِهِ. (S.) The ة in حِدَةٌ is a substitute for the و (S, L) which is cut off from the beginning. (L.) b3: وَحْدٌ, (K,) or ↓ وَحَدٌ, (L,) A wild animal alone, by itself, or apart from others. (L, K.) b4: وَحَدٌ, (K,) or ↓ وَحَدٌ, (L,) A man whose lineage and origin are unknown. (Lth, L, K.) b5: وَحْد is used as the complement of a prefixed n. only in the following phrases: (A'Obeyd, S, L:) هُوَ نَسِيجُ وَحْدِهِ, which is an expression of praise; (S, L, K;) meaning, (tropical:) He is one unequalled; one who has no second: (L:) or he is a man of right judgment: you say also هُمَا نَسِيجَا وَحْدِهِمَا, and هُمْ نُسَجَآءُ وَحْدِهِمْ, and هِىَ نَسِيجَةُ وَحْدِهَا, and هُنَّ نَسَائِجُ وَحْدِهِنَّ: (Lth, L:) [see art. نسج:] it is as though you said نَسِيجُ إِفْرَادٍ: you put وحده in the place of an inf. n. in the gen. case: (S:) and رَجُلُ وَحْدِهِ, (IAar, L,) and رُجَيْلُ وَحْدِهِ, (S, L,) [A man unequalled; who has no second, and a little man (probably meaning the contr.) &c.]: and قَرِيعُ وَحْدِهِ A man with whom no one contends in excellence: (Lth, L:) and عُيَيْرُ وَحْدِهِ, and جُحَيْشُ وَحْدِهِ, which are expressions of dispraise; (S, L, K;) meaning, (tropical:) One who does not consult, nor mix with, any one, and who is contemptible and weak: (Sh, L:) وَحْد being used in the manner of an inf. n., not being an epithet nor an enunciative so as to be in concordance with the preceding noun, would be more properly in the acc. case; but the Arabs use it in these instances as the complement of a prefixed n.: (Lth, L:) these expressions are indeterminate: for the Arabs say, رُبَّ نَسِيجِ وَحْدِهِ قَدْ رَأَيْتُ (tropical:) [Few unequalled men have I seen]. (Hishám, Fr., L.) وَحَدٌ: see وَحْدٌ and وَحِيدٌ.

وَحِدٌ: see وَحِيدٌ.

وَحْدَةٌ The state of being alone, or apart from others; solitariness; solitude. (Sb, S.) See 1. b2: وَحْدَةُ القَبْرِ [The solitude of the grave]. (A.) b3: [لَيْلَةُ الوَحْدَةِ The night of solitude; the first night after burial: so called because the soul is believed to remain in the grave during this night, and then to depart to the place appointed for the residence of good souls until the last day, or to the appointed prison in which wicked souls await their final doom. See also لَيْلَةٌ الوَحْشَةِ.]

وَحْدَانِيَّةٌ The unity of God: (L, K: *) as also أَحْدِيَّةٌ. (Msb.) وَحْدَانِيٌّ One who is singular in his religious opinions; who separates himself from the general body of believers: a rel. n. from الوَحْدَةُ; the ا and ن being added to give intensiveness to the signification. (L.) وُحَادَ: see مَوْحَدَ.

وَحِيدٌ (S, L, Msb, K) and ↓ مُتَوَحِّدٌ (L, K) and ↓ وَحَدٌ and ↓ وَحِدٌ (S, L, Msb, K) and ↓ وَحْدٌ (M, L) and ↓ وَاحِدٌ (L) A man alone; by himself; apart from others; solitary; lonely: (S, M, L, Msb, K;) as also أَحَدٌ: (M, L, K:) or, accord. to Az, one should not say رَجُلٌ أَحَدٌ, nor دِرْهَمٌ أَحَدٌ, nor شَىْءٌ أَحَدٌ, though some of the lexicologists assert that أَحَدٌ is originally وَحَدٌ: for أَحَدٌ is an epithet applied to God alone: (L:) the fem. epithet used in this sense is وَحِدَةٌ: (K:) and ↓ وَاحِدٌ in this sense receives the dual form: and the pl. is وُحْدَانٌ and أَحْدَانٌ and وِحَادٌ. (L.) رَجُلٌ وَحِيدٌ A man who has no one to cheer him by his society, conversation, or company. And ↓ رَجُلٌ مُتَوَحِّدٌ A man who remains alone, by himself, apart from others, or solitary, not mixing with other people, not sitting with them. (L.) See also وَحْدٌ.

وَاحِدٌ One; the first of the numbers: (S, L, Msb, K:) syn. [in many cases, which will be shown below,] with أَحَدٌ: (K:) [and one alone: a single person or thing:] fem. وَاحِدَةٌ: (L, Msb:) it sometimes receives the dual form; (L, K;) as in the expression إِلْتَقَيْنَا وَاحِدَيْنِ [We met, we being each of us one alone]; cited from a poet by IAar: or the dual form pertains to it in another sense, explained below, namely “ alone: ” (L:) pl. وَاحِدُونَ (S, L, K) and وُحْدَانٌ and أُحْدَانٌ; (S, L;) in the last of which, أ is substituted for و because of the dammeh: (L:) one says, أَنْتُمْ حَىٌّ وَاحِدٌ, and حَىٌّ وَاحِدُونَ, (Ye are one tribe, L) like as one says شِرْذِمَةٌ قَلِيلُونَ: (Fr, S, L:) آحَادٌ may also be a pl. of وَاحِدٌ [and therefore originally أَوْحَادٌ,] like as أَشْهَادٌ is pl. of شَاهِدٌ. (Th, Msb.) Its proper signification is A thing having no subdivision: and it is secondarily applied to any existing thing; so that there is no number to which it may not be applied as an epithet; wherefore one says, عَشَرَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ [One ten], and مِائَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ [One hundred]. (Er-Rághib.) It is interchangeable for أَحَدٌ when used as an epithet applied to God; and in certain nouns of number. [See art. أحد.] In most cases differing from these two, there is a difference in usage. The latter is used in affirmative phrases as a prefixed noun only, governing the noun which follows it in the gen. case; and is used absolutely in negative phrases: whereas the former is used in affirmative phrases as a prefixed n. and otherwise. (Msb.) [See, again, art. أَحد.] b2: ↓ لَسْتُ فِى هٰذَا الأَمْرِ بأَوِْحَدَ I am not alone, without a parallel, or watch, in this affair: (S, * L, K: *) or simply, I am not alone in it. (T, L.) The fem. وَحْدَآءُ is not used. (S, L.) b3: أُحْدَانٌ, the pl. of ↓ اوحد, is applied by a poet to dogs having no equals or matches. (S, L.) b4: فُلَانٌ لَا وَاحِدَ لَهُ Such a one has no equal, like, parallel, or match. (S, M, L.) b5: Also, One that has no equal; one unequalled. (L.) b6: فُلَانٌ وَاحِدُ دَهْرِهِ Such a person is the unequalled one of his age. (S, L.) And in like manner, (TA,) أَهْلِ زَمَانِهِ ↓ فُلَانٌ أَوْحَدُ (S, L) Such a person is the unequalled one of the people of his time. (TA.) The pl. of ↓ اوحد [as well as of واحد in the same sense] is أُحْدَانٌ, (originally وُحْدَانٌ, S) like as سُودَانٌ is pl. أَسْوَدُ. (S, L.) b7: وَاحِدُ أُمِّهِ [An unequalled son of his mother], is an indeterminate expression, like نَسِيجُ وَحْدِهِ, q. v. (Hishám, Fr. L.) b8: Also, A man pre-eminent in knowledge or science, or in valour in war, (L, K [in the CK, for بَأْس is put ناس]) or in other qualities; as though having no equal, and thus being alone: (L:) pl. وُحْدَانٌ and أُحْدانٌ.

(T, L.) See also أَحَدٌ, in art. أحد. b10: الإِنْسَانُ وَالفَرَسُ وَاحِدٌ فِى الجِنْسِ The human being and the horse are one in genus. And زَيْد وَعَمرْوٌ وَاحِدٌ فِى النَّوْعِ Zeyd and 'Amr are one in species. (Er-Rághib.) b11: وَاحِدٌ Singular, as opposed to plural: pl. وُحْدَانٌ. (The lexicons, passim.) b12: أَصْحَابِى وَأَصْحَابُكَ وَاحِدٌ [Thy companions and my companions are one and the same]. And الجُلُوسُ وَالقُعُود وَاحِدٌ [الجلوس and القعود are one and the same]. (L.) b13: See وَحِيدٌ. b14: حَادِىَ عَشَرَ, masc., and حَادِيَةَ عَشْرَةَ, fem., Eleventh. In this case, [and in similar instances, as حَادِى وَعِشْرُونَ Twentyfirst, &c.,] حادى and حادية are formed by transposition from وَاحِدٌ and وَاحِدَةٌ, by putting the first radical letter after the second. [When without the article, it is indecl.: but when rendered determinate by the article, the first word is decl.] You say, هُوَ حَادِىَ عَشَرَهُمْ [He is the eleventh of them]: and اليَوْمُ الحَادِى عَشَرَ [The eleventh day]: and اللَّيْلَةُ الحَادِيَةُ عَشْرَةَ [The eleventh night]. (ISd, L.) [The rules respecting حَادِىَ عَشَرَ and its fem. are the same as those respecting ثَالِثَ عَشَرَ and its fem., explained in art. ثلث, q. v.] b15: بِوَاحِدَةٍ signifies i. q. فَقَطْ: and is often used in the sense of البَتَّةَ. (MF, voce ذُرُّوحٌ.) إِحْدَى: see art. أحد.

أُحَادَ: see مُوْحَدَ.

أَوْحَدُ: see وَاحِدٌ.

مُوحِدٌ A ewe bringing forth, or that brings forth, one ewe only. (S, K.) [See مُغْرِدٌ.]

مَوْحَدَ and ↓ وُحَادَ and أُحَادَ [used adverbially] are imperfectly decl. because of their having the quality of an epithet and deviating from their original form, (S, L,) which is وَاحِدًا: (L, K:) or because they differ from their original both as to the letter and the meaning; the original word being changed as above stated, and the meaning being changed to وَاحِدًا وَاحِدًا: (S, L:) you say دَخَلُوا مَوْحَدَ مَوْحَدَ, (S, L, K,) [and وُحَادَ وُحَادَ,] and أُحَادَ أُحَادَ, (L, K,) They entered one [and] one, [one and one]; or one [by] one, [one by one]; (K;) or one at a time; one after another. (S, L.) مُوَحَّدَةٌ, (not مُوحَدَةٌ,) conv. term in lexicology, Having one diacritical point; one-pointed: an epithet added to باء to prevent its being mistaken for تاء, ثاء, or ياء. (The lexicons, passim.)]

مِيحَادٌ One of several hills, such as are called أَكَمَات, separate or remote, one from another: pl. مَوَاحِيدُ. (L, K.) F remarks, that J is in error in saying, المِيحَادُ مِنَ الوَاحِدِ كَالمِعْشَارِ مِنَ العَشَرَةِ: (TA:) but the meaning of this is, that it denotes one part or portion; like as مِعْشَارٌ signifies one of ten: (L:) [i. e., the former signifies one of several things whereof each is alone, or by itself:] and the same explanation is given by [several] old authors. (TA.) [In one copy of the S, instead of العَشَرَة, I find العُشْر; which affords a good sense, i. e., that ميحاد, is syn. with وَاحِدٌ; and may be the true reading.]

مُتَوَحِّدٌ: see وَحِيدٌ and وَاحِدٌ.

فرق

1 فَرَقَ بَيْنَ الشَّيْئَيْنِ, (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K, *) aor. ـُ (S, Mgh, O, Msb,) and in one dial. فَرِقَ, (Msb, TA,) inf. n. فَرْغٌ and فُرْقَانٌ, (S, O, Msb, K,) the latter of which has a more intensive signification, (TA,) He made a separation, or a distinction, or difference, (Msb, K, TA,) between the two things, (K, * TA,) or between the parts of the two things: (Msb:) relating alike to objects of sight and to objects of mental perception: (TA:) IAar, by exs. that he mentions, makes it to relate particularly to objects of the mind, such as sayings; and ↓ فرّق, to persons, or material things: (Msb: [and it is stated in the Mgh that the same distinction is mentioned by Az:]) others, however, state that the two verbs are syn.; but that the latter has an intensive signification. (Msb.) It is said in the Kur [v. 28], فَافْرُقْ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَ الْقَوْمِ الفَاسِقِينَ [Therefore decide Thou, or make Thou a distinction, between us and the unrighteous people]: accord. to one reading, فَافْرِقْ. (Msb, TA.) فِيهَا يُفْرَقُ كُلُّ أَمْرٍ حَكِيمٍ, in the Kur [xliv. 3], means [Wherein] is made distinct [every firm decree]: (Lth, TA:) or is decided; (O, K, TA;) thus expl. by Katádeh. (O, TA.) And in the phrase وَقُرآنًا فَرَقْنَاهُ, (S, O, K, TA,) in the same [xvii. 107], (S, O, TA,) by فَرَقْنَاهُ is meant We have made it distinct, (S, O, K, TA,) and rendered it free from defect, (O, K, TA,) and explained the ordinances therein: (TA:) but some read ↓ فَرَّقْنَاهُ, meaning We have sent it down in sundry portions, in a number of days. (S, TA.) وَإِذْ فَرَقْنَا بِكُمُ الْبَحْرَ, (O, K, TA,) in the Kur [ii. 47], (O, TA,) means And when we clave because of you the sea; i. q. فَلَقْنَاهُ: (O, K, TA:) another reading, ↓ فَرَّقْنَا, meaning we divided into several portions, is mentioned by IJ; but this is unusual. (TA.) It is also said that الفَرْقُ is for rectification; and ↓ التَّفْرِيقُ, for vitiation: and IJ says that إِنَّ الَّذِينَ فَرَّقُوا ↓ دِيْنَهُمْ CCC, in the Kur [vi. 160, and the like occurs in xxx. 31], means Verily those who have divided their religion into sundry parts, and dismembered it, and have disagreed respecting it among themselves: but that some read فَرَقُوا دِيْنَهُمْ, without teshdeed, meaning, have severed their religion from the other religions [app. by taking it in part, or parts, therefrom]; or this, he says, may mean the same as the former reading, for sometimes فَعَلَ has the same meaning as فَعَّلَ. (TA.) IJ also says that فَرَقَ لَهُ عَنِ الشَّىْءِ signifies He made the thing distinct, or plain, to him. (TA.) b2: فَرَقَ الشَّعْرَ بِالمُشْطِ, aor. ـُ and فَرِقَ, inf. n. فَرْقٌ, He separated his hair with the comb: and فَرَّقَ ↓ رَأْسَهُ بِالمُشْطِ , inf. n. تَفْرِيقٌ, He separated the hair of his head with the comb. (TA.) [and it is implied in a trad. cited in the O and TA that فَرَقَهُ signifies the same as the latter of the two phrases in the next preceding sentence.]

A2: فَرَقَ لَهُ الطَّرِيقُ, (S, O, K,) inf. n. فُرُوقٌ, (K,) The road presented itself to him divided into two roads: (S, O, K, TA:) or [it means] an affair presented itself, or occurred, to him, and he knew the mode, or manner, thereof: (TA, as from the K: [but not in the CK nor in my MS. copy of the K:]) and hence, in a trad. of I'Ab, فَرَقَ لِى رَأْىٌ An idea, or opinion, appeared [or occurred] to me: (TA:) [or] one says, فَرَقَ لِى هٰذَا الأَمْرُ, inf. n. فُرُوقٌ, This affair became, or has become, distinct, apparent, or manifest, to me: and hence the saying, فَإِنْ لَمْ يُفْرُقْ لِلْإِمَامِ رَأْىٌ [And if an idea, or an opinion, appear not, or occur not, to the Imám]. (Mgh.) b2: فَرَقَتْ said of a she-camel, and of a she-ass, (S, O, K,) aor. ـُ (S, O,) inf. n. فُرُوقٌ, She, being taken with the pains of parturition, went away at random in the land. (S, O, K.) A3: فَرَقَ, (O, K,) aor. ـُ (K,) He voided dung; syn. ذَرَقَ [which is said of a bird, and sometimes of a man]. (O, K. [See also أَفْرَقَ.]) A4: And He possessed a فِرْق [q. v.] (O, K, TA) of sheep or goats: (O, TA:) accord. to the K, of date-stones with which to feed camels: but the former explanation is the right. (TA.) A5: فَرَقَهَا, (K,) inf. n. فَرْقٌ, (TA,) He fed her (i. e. a woman) with فَرِيقَة [q. v.]; as also ↓ افرقها, (K,) inf. n. إِفْرَاقٌ. (TA.) A6: فَفَرَقْتُهُ ↓ فَارَقَنِى, aor. ـُ [He vied with me in fear and] I exceeded him in fear. (Lh, L, TA.) b2: See also 2, last sentence.

A7: فَرِقَ, (S, O, Msb, K,) aor. ـَ (Msb, K,) inf. n. فَرَقٌ, (S, O, Msb,) He feared; or was, or became, in fear, afraid, or frightened. (S, O, Msb, K.) You say, فَرِقْتُ مِنْكَ [I feared thee, or was in fear of thee]: (S, O, Msb: *) but you should not say, فَرِقْتُكَ: (S, O:) Sb [however] mentions فَرِقَهُ, suppressing مِنْ. (TA.) And you say also, فَرِقَ عَلَيْهِ [He feared for him]. (TA.) A8: And فَرِقَ, aor. ـَ He entered into a wave, [which is termed فِرْقٌ,] and dived therein. (K.) A9: And the same verb accord. to the K, but accord. to Sgh [in the O] it seems, from the context to be فَرَقَ, (TA,) He drank (O, K) the measure called فَرَق, (O,) or with the فَرَق. (K, TA.) 2 فرّقهُ, inf. n. تَفْرِيقٌ and تَفْرِقَةٌ, (S, O, K,) He separated it [into several, or many, portions]; disunited it [i. e. a thing, or a collection of things]; or dispersed, or dissipated, it; or did so much [or greatly or widely]; syn. بَدَّدَهُ. (K.) And فرّق بَيْنَ الأَشْيَآءِ [He made, or caused, a separation &c., or much, or a wide, separation, &c., between the things]. (Mgh.) [And فِيهِمْ فرّقهُ and عَلَيْهِمْ He scattered, or distributed, it among them, and to them.] See 1, former half, in five places. It is said in a trad. of 'Omar, فَرِّقُوا عَنِ المَنِيَّةِ وَاجْعَلُوا الرَّأْسَ رَأْسَيْنِ, (Mgh, O, *) meaning Separate ye your cattle by way of preservation from death, [and make the one head two head,] by buying two animals with the price of one, that, when one dies, the second may remain. (Mgh, O.) and it is said in a trad. respecting the poor-rate, لَا يُفَرَّقُ بَيْنَ مُجْتَمِعٍ وَلَا يُجْمَعُ بَيْنَ مُفْتَرِقٍ There shall be no separating what is put together, nor shall there be a putting together what is separate. (TA. [The reason is, that by either of these acts, in the case of cattle, the amount of the poor-rate may be diminished.]) يُفَرِّقُونَ بِهِ بَيْنَ الْمَرْءِ وَزَوْجِهِ [in the Kur ii. 96, meaning Whereby they might dissolve, break up, discompose, derange, disorganize, disorder, or unsettle, the state of union subsisting between the man and his wife, in respect of affairs and of the expression of opinion, or, briefly, whereby they might cause division and dissension between the man and his wife,] is from التَفْرِيقُ as meaning تَشْتِيتُ الشَّمْلِ وَالكَلِمَةِ. (El-Isbahánee, TA.) One says also, فرّق الأَمْرَ, meaning شَتَّتَهُ [i. e. He discomposed, deranged, disorganized, disordered, or unsettled, the state of affairs]. (S in art. شت.) And فرّق عَلَيْنَا الكَلَامَ [lit. He scattered speech (app. meaning he jabbered) at us, or against us]. (K in art. بق: see R. Q. 1 in that art.) In the saying in the Kur [ii. 130 and iii.

And خَمَسَ المَالَ, (A, Msb,) aor. ـُ inf. n. خَمْسٌ, (Msb,) He took the fifth part of the property. (A, Msb.) خَمْسٌ signifies The taking one from five: and hence the saying of 'Adee Ibn-Hátim, رَبَعْتُ فِى الجَاهِلِيَّة وَخَمَسْتُ فِى الإِسْلَامِ [I took the fourth part of the spoil in the Time of Ignorance, and I took the fifth part thereof in the time of El-Islám]; meaning, I headed the army in both those states; for the commander, in the Time of Ignorance, used to take the fourth part of the spoil; and in El-Islám, the fifth part was assigned to him. (TA.) b2: خَمَسَ القَوْمَ, (S, A, Msb, K,) aor. ـِ (S, Msb, K,) inf. n. خَمْسٌ, (Msb,) He was, or became, the fifth of the people: (S, A, Msb, K:) or he made them five by [adding to their number] himself. (S, K.) b3: خَمَسَ also signifies He made fourteen to be fifteen. (T in art. ثلث.) b4: And He made forty-nine to be fifty with himself. (A'Obeyd, S in that art.) b5: خَمَسَ الحَبْلَ, aor. ـِ inf. n. خَمْسٌ, He made the rope of five strands twisted together. (TA.) A2: خَمَسَتِ الإِبِلُ The camels drank on the fifth day, counting the day of the next preceding drinking as the first. (TA.) [See خَمْسٌ.] b2: خَمَسَ, said of a horse, He came fifth in the race.

(TA voce سَبَّعَ.) b6: تَخْمِيسٌ also signifies [The watering of land or seedproduce on the fifth day, counting the day of the next preceding watering as the first;] the watering of land that is [next] after the تَرْبِيع. (TA.) 4 اخمس القَوْمُ The party of men became five: (S, K:) b2: also, The party of men became fifty. (M and L in art. ثلث.) b3: اخمس الرَّجُلُ The man was, or became, one whose camels came to water on the fifth day, counting the day of the next preceding drinking as the first. (S, * K, * TA.) [See خِمْسٌ.]

خَمْسٌ fem. of خَمْسَةٌ [q. v.].

خُمْسٌ: see خُمُسٌ.

خِمْسٌ The drinking of camels on the fifth day, counting the day of the next preceding drinking as the first; their drinking one day, then pasturing three days, then coming to the water on the fifth day, the first and last days, on which they drink, being thus reckoned: this is the correct explanation, accord. to Aboo-Sahl El-Khowlee; and Aboo-Zekereeyà says the like; (TA;) or their pasturing three days, and coming to the water on the fourth day [not counting the day of the next preceding watering; for it is evident that this explanation is virtually the same as that preceding]: (S, K:) accord. to Lth, the drinking of camels on the fourth day, counting the day on which they returned from [the next preceding] watering; but Az says, that this is a mistake; the day of returning from watering not being counted [when it is explained as meaning the drinking on the fourth day]: (TA:) pl. أَخْمَاسٌ, the only pl. form. (Sb, TA.) [See ظِمْءٌ.] Hence, فَلَاةٌ خِمْسٌ [as in copies of the K, or it may be فَلَاةُ خِمْسٍ,] A desert in which the water is far distant, so that the camels come to the water on the fourth day, exclusive of the [next preceding] day on which they drank. (Az, K, TA.) Hence also the saying, فُلَانٌ يَضْرِبُ أَخْمَاسًا لِأَسْدَاسٍ (S, K *) (tropical:) Such a one makes a pretence of اخماس [or fifth-day waterings] for the purpose of اسداس [or sixth-day waterings]: i. e., he advances his camels from the خِمْس to the سِدْس: (K:) a prov.: (TA:) meaning, such a one strives to deceive, or circumvent: (S, K:) applied to him who acts towards another with artifice, pretending that he obeys him, or complies with his desire: (TA:) or to him who pretends one thing while he means another: (K:) and taken from the saying, related by AO and IAar, ضَرَبَ أَخْمَاسًا لِأَسْدَاسٍ [He made a pretence of اخماس for the purpose of اسداس]; said of him who proposes a thing whereby he means another thing, which he commences and by slow degrees accomplishes: (TA:) for a man, when he desires to make a long journey, accustoms his camels to drink خِمْسًا سِدْسًا [i. e. on the fifth day and then on the sixth, in each case counting the day of the next preceding drinking as the first]: (K, TA:) the origin of the saying, accord. to IAar, being this: an old man was among his camels, accompanied by his sons, men, who pastured them, and who had been long far distant from their families; and he told them one day to pasture their camels رِبْعًا [i. e. watering on the fourth day, counting the day of the next preceding watering as the first], which they did, proceeding in the way towards their families: then they proposed to do so خِمْسًا; and then, سِدْسًا: whereupon the old man, understanding what they meant, said, ye are doing nothing but making a pretence of اخماس for the purpose of اسداس: the object of your desire is not the pasturing of them, but it is only your families. (TA.) [See below, voce خُمُسٌ, a saying similar in words but different in meaning.] b2: It is also used for سَيْرُ خِمْسٍ [A journey in which the camels are watered only on the first and fifth days; a journey in which the second and third and fourth days are without water]. (L in art. جلذ.) You say خِمسٌ بَصْبَاصٌ, [and صَبْصَابٌ,] and قَعْقَاعٌ, and حَثْحَاثٌ, [and حَصْحَاصٌ, &c.,] i. e. A journey [in which the camels are watered only on the first and fifth days,] in the course of which, to the water, there is no flagging, by reason of its remoteness. (TA.) El-'Ajjáj uses the expression خِمْسٌ كَحَبْلِ الشَّعَرِ المُنْحَتِّ meaning, A [journey of the kind termed] خمس without any deviation, like a rope made of hair that has fallen off and that is free from any unevenness. (L, TA.) b3: خِمْسٌ also signifies The fifth young one, or offspring. (A in art. ثلث.) A2: A [garment of the kind called] بُرْد, (S, K,) of the fabric of El-Yemen; (S;) so called because first made for a king of El-Yemen named خِمْسٌ, (AA, S,) or الخِمْسُ; (K, TA;) as also ↓ خَمِيسٌ. (TA.) For the latter word, we find in the work of Bkh, خَمِيص, with ص; which, if correct, is masc. of خَمِيصَةٌ, which is a small kind of كِسَآء. (IAth, and L.) [The pl. of خِمْسٌ applied to a بُرْدَة is أَخْمَاسٌ.] See also مَخْمُوسٌ, in four places.

خُمُسٌ and ↓ خُمْسٌ A fifth part; (Msb, K;) as also ↓ خَمِيسٌ, (S, in art. ثلث, and IAmb and Msb,) agreeably with a rule applicable in the case of every one of the units, except ثَلِيثٌ: (TA:) some allow this last; but Az disallows it, and خميس also: (S in art. ثلث:) pl. أَخْمَاسٌ. (Msb, TA.) b2: [Hence, app.,] ضَرَبَ أَخْمَاسَهُ فِى

أَسْدَاسِهِ He turned his five senses towards his six relative points; [namely, above, below, before, behind, right, and left:] an allusion to the collecting all the thoughts to examine a thing, and turning the attention in all directions. (MF.) خَمْسَةٌ, (S, K,) masc.; and خَمْسٌ, fem.; (S;) [Five;] a certain number. (S, K.) You say خَمْسَةُ رِجَالٍ [Five men], and خَمْسُ نِسْوَةٍ [Five women]. (S.) You say also, عِنْدِى خَمْسَةُ دَرَاهِمْ [I have five dirhems], with refa: and if you please, you incorporate the ة into the د [and say, خَمْسَة دَّرَاهِمَ]: but when you prefix ال to دراهم, you say, عِنْدِى خَمْسَةُ الدَّرَاهِمِ [I have the five dirhems], with damm; and may not incorporate, because you have incorporated the ل into the د: and in the case of a fem. n. you say, عِنْدِى خَمْسُ القُدُورِ [I have the five cooking-pots]: also, هٰذِهِ الخَمْسَةُ الدَّرَاهِمِ [These five dirhems]; and, if you please, الدَّرَاهِمُ, using it in the manner of an epithet: and in like manner [you use the other nouns of number] to عَشَرَةٌ [inclusive]. (S.) Yousay also, صُمْنَا خَمْسًا مِنَ الشَّهْرِ [We fasted during a period of five nights of the month with their days]; making لَيَالٍ to predominate over أَيَّام, when you do not mention the word ايّام, though the fasting is in the day; because the night of each day precedes the day: but when you mention the word ايّام, you say, صُمْنَا خَمْسَةَ أَيَّامٍ [We fasted five days]. (ISk, TA.) يَعَضُّ بِالخَمْسِ means He bites the fingers: these being [five in number and] of the fem gender: (Ham p. 790:) [i. e.] خَمْسٌ means the five fingers. (Har p. 76.) [Respecting a peculiar pronunciation of the people of El-Hijáz, and a case in which خَمْسَة is imperfectly decl., see ثَلَاثَةٌ.] b2: [خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ, masc.; and خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ, fem.; Fifteen. For variations thereof, see art. عشر.]

خَمْسُونَ [Fifty, and fiftieth,] is also written and pronounced خَمِسُونَ, with kesr to the خَمَسُونَ, by poetic license, as related by Ks; or م, with fet-h, as related by others, after the manner of خَمْسَةٌ and خَمَسَاتٌ: (Fr, TA:) accord. to the T, the variation خَمِسُونَ, with kesr to the م, is [dialectic, being] similar to خَمْسَ عَشِرَةَ, with kesr to the ش [in the dial. of Nejd]. (TA.) جَاؤُوا خُمَاسَ, and ↓ مَخْمَسَ, They came five and five; [or five and five together; or five at a time and five at a time;] (K, TA;) like as they say, ثُنَآءَ and مَثْنَى, and رُبَاعَ and مَرْبَعَ: (TA:) or, accord. to A 'Obeyd, not more than أُحَادَ and ثُنَآءَ and ثُلَاثَ and رُبَاعَ has been heard, except عُشَارَ occurring in a verse of El-Kumeyt. (TA in art. عشر.) خَمِيسٌ: see خُمُسٌ: b2: and مَخْمُوسٌ, in two places. b3: An army; because consisting of five parts, namely, the van, the body, the right wing, the left wing, and the rear; (S, A, K;) or because the spoils are divided into fifths among it; but this latter assertion requires consideration; (ISd, MF;) for this division of the spoils is an affair of the Muslim law, whereas خميس [thus applied] is an old term: (MF:) or an army having numerous weapons; syn. جَيْشٌ خَشِنٌ. (TA.) b4: يَوْمُ الخَمِيسِ, (S, Msb, K,) and simply الخَمِيسُ, Thursday; the fifth day of the week; thus used for الخَامِسُ, in like manner as الدَّبَرَانُ is applied to the star [that follows the Pleiades, for الدَّابِرُ]: (TA:) pl. [of pauc.] أَخْمِسَةٌ and [of mult.] أَخْمِسَآءُ (S, Msb, K) and أَخَامِسُ. (Fr, TA.) Az used to say, مَضَى

الخَمِيسُ بِمَا فِيهِ [Thursday passed with what happened in it], making it sing. and masc.: but Abu-l-Jarráh used to say, مَضَىالخَمِيسُ بِمَ فِيهِنَّ, making it pl. and fem., and using it as a n. of number. (Lh, TA.) It has no dim. (Sb, S in art. امس.) A2: See also خِمْسٌ, last signification.

A3: مَا أَدْرِى أَىُّ خَمِيسِ النَّاسِ هُوَ means I know not what company of men it is. (Ibn-' Abbád, Sgh, K.) خُمَاسِىٌّ A boy five spans (أَشْبَار) in height: (S, Mgh, Msb, * K:) said of him who is increasing in height [but has not attained his full stature]: (Msb:) fem. with ة: (Lth, TA:) and in like manner you say رُبَاعِىٌّ: (S, Msb:) but you do not say سُبَاعِىٌّ, (Lth, S, K,) nor سُدَاسِىٌّ; (Lth, K;) [i. e., in speaking of a boy;] for when he has attained seven spans, (S,) or six spans, (Lth, K,) he is a man: (Lth, S, K:) or to a slave you apply the epithet سداسىّ also; and to a garment, or piece of cloth, سباعىّ. (Msb.) b2: See also مَخْمُوسٌ. b3: [Also A word composed of five letters, radical only, or radical and augmentative.]

خَمِيسِىٌّ One who fasts alone on Thursday. (IAar, Th.) خَامِسٌ [Fifth]: for this you also say خَامٍ; (ISk, S, K;) whence the phrase, جَآئَ فُلَانٌ خَامِيًا [Such a one came fifth], for خَامِسًا: (ISk, S:) [fem. with ة.] b2: [خَامِسَ عَشَرَ and خَامِسَة عَشْرَةَ, the former masc. and the latter fem., meaning Fifteenth, are subject to the same rules as ثَالِثَ عَشَرَ and its fem., explained in art. ثلث, q. v.]

(ISk, TA.) Hence the saying, ↓ هُمَا فِى بُرْدَة أَخْمَاسٍ (assumed tropical:) They two have become near together, and in a state of agreement. (K.) A poet says, صَيَّرَنِى جُودُ يَدَيهِ وَمَنْ
