فيص

1 فَاصَ فِى الأَرْضِ, aor. ـِ (S, O, K,) inf. n. فَيْصٌ, (TA,) He went away into the country, or in the land. (S, O, K.) In the following verse of Imra-el-Keys, مَنَابِتُهُ مِثْلُ السُّدُوسِ وَلَوْنُهُ كَشَوْكِ السَّيَالِ فَهْوَ عَذْبٌ يَفِيصُ

respecting which As said, I know not what is [the meaning of] يَفِيضُ, this word is said to be from فاص signifying as expl. above: (S, O:) [but I do not see what meaning that would be apposite in this case could be thence derived without straining:] but فاص signifies also it shone, or glistened; syn. بَرَقَ; (TA;) and some say that يفيص in this verse means يَبْرُقُ; (O, TA;) and the pronoun in مَنَابِتُهُ relates to the front teeth; (O, * TA;) by عَذْبٌ يَفِيضُ being meant the lustre (مَآء) thereof: (O:) [accordingly, the verse may be rendered, The places of growth thereof, i. e. their gums, were like the (garment called) سُدُوس, and their colour was like the thorns of the سَيَال (q. v.), so that they were sweet and glistening: (see the context in “ the Divans of the six ancient Arabic poets,” edited by Prof. Ahlwardt:) or, as some relate the verse, the last word is ↓ يُفِيصُ, (IB, O, TA,) from مَا أَــفَاصَ بِكَلِمَةٍ [q. v.], (O,) so that it is a denotative of state, the meaning being عَذْبٌ فِي حَالِ كَلَامِهِ [i. e. sweet when [displayed in] speaking; or rather, clearly uttering; but it will be seen below that يَفِيصُ, as well as يُفِيصُ, may, accord. to the M and K, be used in this sense:] (IB, TA:) see 4. b2: مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ أَنْ أَفِيصَ مِنْهُ, meaning I was not able to turn aside, or away, from, or to avoid, him, or it. (S, O.) [See also مَفِيصٌ: and see 4.]

b3: And وَاللّٰه مَا فِصْتُ, like as one says واللّٰه ما بَرِحْتُ [perhaps meaning By God I did not quit my place; as well as I did not cease:] (S, O, K: *) mentioned on the authority of AHeyth: (TA:) [that it has the latter meaning is clear; for] one says, مَا فِصْتُ أَفْعَلُ I did not cease (مَا بَرِحْتُ) doing [such a thing]: (M:) and ↓ استــفاص, likewise, signifies بَرِحَ. (IB, TA.) 3 فَاْيَصَ see 3 in art. فوص.4 افاص الضَّبُّ عَنْ يَدِهِ [The lizard called ضبّ escaped, or slipped, from his hand, is expl. as meaning] his fingers became unclosed (اِنْفَرَجَت) from [the grasp of] the ضبّ, so that it escaped from him. (M, TA.) And one says, قَبَضْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمْ يُفِصْ I grasped him and he did not escape, or get loose. (AHeyth, TA.) And قَبَضْتُ عَلَى ذَنَبِ الضَّبِّ فَأَــفَاصَ مِنْ يَدِى حَتَّى خَلَّصَ ذَنَبَهُ [I grasped the tail of the ضبّ and it slipped from my hand so that it freed its tail]: (Lth, S, O, TA:) [but in the O, مِنْ is omitted before يَدِى; not intentionally, for the verb before من is there masc., as above:]) this is when thy fingers become unclosed (تَتَفَرَّجُ) from the grasp of its tail: (Lth, O:) and this [state of the fingers] is termed ↓ التَّفَاوُصُ. (TA.) [It is also said that]

أَــفَاصَــتِ اليَدُ signifies The fingers of the hand became unclosed (تَفَرَّجَتْ) from the grasp of the thing. (K, TA. [But I doubt the correctness of this.]) b2: And الإِــفَاصَــةُ signifies The being clear, or perspicuous; syn. البَيَانُ; (O, K;) like المُفَاوَصَةُ, expl. in art. فوص;] and the being fluent. (O.) [And also The making speech clear, or perspicuous.] One says, فُلَانٌ ذُو إِــفَاصَــةٍ

إِذَا تَكَلَّمَ Such a one is a person endowed with clearness, or perspicuity, and fluency, when he speaks. (O.) And افاص لِسَانُهُ بِالكَلَامِ His tongue made speech, or the speech, clear, or perspicuous; and so ↓ فَاصَ, aor. ـِ (M;) and مَا يَفِيصُ بِهِ لِسَانُهُ, (K, TA,) inf. n. فَيْصٌ, (TA,) his tongue does not make it clear, or perspicuous (K, TA.) And مَا أَــفَاصَ بِكَلِمَةٍ He did not make clear, or distinct, or perspicuous, a word, or a sentence. (Yaakoob, S, O, TA.) See also 4 in art. فوص: and see 1 in the present art. [And it is said that مَا أَفَاضَ بِكَلِمَةٍ signifies the same. Or, accord. to Mtr, if he be correctly cited in Har p. 447, the verb in this sense, and app. as thus used in all the phrases mentioned above, is correctly with ض, and not so with ص: but this I greatly doubt.] b3: One says also, افاص بِبَوْلِهِ He ejected his urine: (O, K:) or افاض به. (ElGhooree, in Har ubi suprà.) 6 التَّفَايُصُ is said to be the original and regular form of التَّفَاوُصُ, which signifies The speaking, talking, or discoursing, each to another, or each with another: the ى being changed into و because of the dammeh. (M in this art. and in art. فوص, and TA.) b2: See also another explanation in art. فوص: and see 4 in the present art. 10 إِسْتَفْيَصَ see 1, last sentence.

(Ksh, O, K. [Respecting this phrase, and for other explanations, see 3 in art خطب.]) كَلِمَةُ الفَصْلِ in the Kur xlii. 20 means The sentence of God's deciding between mankind on the day of resurrection, (O,) which is called يَوْمُ الفَصْلِ.

(Bd.) And one says also فَصَلَ الحُكْمَ [He decided the judgment, or judicial sentence]. (M.) فَصَلَ النَّظْمَ, in the K, is a mistake: see 2. (TA.) A2: فَصَلَ مِنَ النَّاحِيَةِ, (S, O,) or مِنْ البَلَدِ (K,) or عَنْ بَلَدِكَذَا, aor. ـُ (M,) inf. n. فُصُولٌ, (M, K,) He went forth [from the part of the country, or from the town or country, or from such a town or country]. (S, O, K.) And فَصَلَ العَسْكَرُ عَنِ البَلَدِ [The army went forth from the town or country]: whence the saying of the Prophet respecting Ibn-Rawáhah, كَانَ أَوَّلَنَا فُصُولًا وَآخِرُنَاقُفُولًا i. e.

(TA.) b2: And فَصَلَ الكَرْمُ The vine put forth small grapes, resembling lentils or a grain similar thereto.

He (a butcher) divided the sheep, or goal, into limbs, or members.

(Lth, O, K.) See also مَفْصِلٌ. b4: As used by the Basrees, [in grammar,] it is [A disconnective] like عِمَادٌ as used by the Koofees: (O, K:) thus in the saying in the Kur [viii. 32], إنْ كَانَ هٰذَا هُوَ الْحَقَّ مِنْ عِنْدِكَ [lit. If this, it, be the truth from Thee], هو is termed فصل and عماد, [more commonly the former,] and الحقّ is in the accus. case as being the predicate of كان. (O.) b5: Also sing. of فُصُول in the phrase فُصُولُ السَّنَةِ [The four divisions of the year: namely autumn, winter, spring, and summer], expl. in art. زمن.

[See also other explanations of فَصْلٌ as opposed to أصْلٌ under the latter of these words ;) A2: [It is also used as an epithet;] One say (??) فَصْلٌ A true say or saying: (M, K;) not false: thus in the Kur [lxxxvi. 15]: (M.) or (??) there means distinguishing between what is true and what is false: and relates to the Kur án [itself]. (Ksh, Bd, Jel.) And it is said of the speech of the Prophet that it was فَصَلٌ لَانَزْرٌ وَلَا هَذَرٌ, (O, TA, but in the latter هَذْرٌ [to assimilate it in form to نَزْرٌ],) meaning Distinct, (O, TA,) clear, or plain, distinguishing between what is true and what is false; (TA;) not little are much.

1 نَقَصَ, (S, M, Mgh, Msb, K,) aor. ـُ (M, Msb,) inf. n. نُقْصَانٌ (S, M, A, Mgh, Msb, K) and نَقْصٌ, (S, M, A, Msb, K,) or the former of these two only, the latter being the inf. n. of the trans. verb, (MS,) and نَقِيصَةٌ (M) and تَنْقَاصٌ, (K,) [which last is an intensive form,] said of a thing, (S, M,) intrans., (S, M, Mgh, Msb, K,) It lost somewhat, decreased, diminished, lessened, wasted, waned, or became defective or deficient or incomplete or imperfect, after having been whole or complete or perfect: (IKtt, Msb, TA:) or he, or it, lost, or suffered loss or diminution, (A, K,) with respect to lot or portion: (K:) and ↓ انتقص signifies the same; (S, A, Mgh, Msb, K;) and so does ↓ تنقّص; (TK, [probably from the TA,] art. أَفن;) and so does ↓ تناقص: (TA:) [or this last signifies it lost somewhat, decreased, &c., gradually; contr. of تزايد.] It is said in a trad., (Mgh,) شَهْرَا عِيدٍ لَا يَنْقُصَانِ, (Mgh, K,) i. e. Ramadán and Dhu-l-Hijjeh, (Mgh,) meaning, Two months of festival are not defective virtually (فِى الحُكْمِ) though they be defective in number [of days]; (K;) i. e. let no doubt occur in your hearts when ye fast nine and twenty days [instead of thirty]; nor if there happen a mistake respecting the day of the pilgrimage, will there be any deficiency in your performance of the rites thereof: (TA:) or, as some say, two months of festival will not be defective in one and the same year; but Et-Taháwee disapproves of this explanation: some say that the meaning is, that though they be defective, or one of them be so, yet their recompense will be complete. (Mgh.) It is also said in a trad., إِنَّ العَمَلَ فِى عَشْرِ ذِى الحِجَّةِ لَا يَنْقُصُ ثَوَابُهُ عَمَّا فِى شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ [Verily the deed that is done on the tenth of Dhu-l-Hijjeh, the recompense thereof will not fall short of that which is in the month of Ramadán: for نَقَصَ عَنْ كَذَا means It fell short of such a thing.] (Mgh.) [On the expression فِى النُّقْصَانِ, as used in grammar, see غَفِيرٌ.]

A2: نَقَصَهُ, (S, M, Mgh, Msb, K,) aor. ـُ (Msb,) inf. n. نَقْصٌ, (MS,) [and accord. to the TK تَنْقَاصٌ and نُقْصَانٌ also, which last, however, is said in the MS to be an inf. n. of the intrans. verb only,] He made it to lose somewhat, decreased it, diminished it, curtailed it, lessened it, wasted it, impaired it, took from it, or made it defective or deficient or incomplete or imperfect, after it had been whole or complete or perfect; (Msb;) he made it (i. e. a share, or portion) defective or deficient: (K:) [the pronoun often relates to a man: see an ex. in art. ضوز, and another in art. وكس:] this is the [most] chaste form of the verb, and is that which occurs in the Kur.: (Msb:) ↓ انقصهُ also signifies the same; (M, Msb, K;) and so does ↓ نقّصهُ, (Msb, K,) inf. n. تَنْقِيصٌ: (TA:) but these two are of weak authority, and do not occur in chaste language: (Msb:) and ↓ انتقصهُ signifies the same: (S, Mgh, Msb, K:) or this last signifies he took from it by little and little; as also ↓ تنقّصهُ. (M, * TA [in the latter of which this is plainly said of both of the last two verbs; but in the M, it seems rather to be said of تنقّصه only.]) [See an ex. of the verb followed by من voce طَرَفٌ. You say also, نَقَصَ مِنْهُ كَذَا He cut off from it such a thing.]

b2: نَقَصَ is doubly trans.: (Msb:) you say نَقَصَهُ حَقَّهُ, (A, Mgh, Msb, TA,) inf. n. نَقْصٌ; (A, Mgh;) and in like manner, حَقَّهُ ↓ انتقصهُ; (M, A, * Mgh, * TA; *) He diminished, or impaired, to him his right, or due; endamaged him; or made him to suffer loss, or damage, or detriment, in respect of it; curtailed him, abridged him, deprived him, or defrauded him, of a portion of it; (Msb, * TA;) contr. of أَوْفَاهُ: (TA:) [and he abridged him, deprived him, or defrauded him, of it altogether; for نَقَصَهُ أَهْلَهُ وَمَالَهُ signifies sometimes He deprived him of his family and his property altogether: as appears from the following ex.:] نُقِصَ أَهْلَهُ وَمَالَهُ وَبَقِىَ فَرْدًا [He was deprived of his family and his property, and remained alone]. (T, art. وتر.) الحَقِّ ↓ اِنْتِقَاصُ also signifies The denying, or disacknowledging, the right, or due. (TA.) b3: See also 5.2 نَقَّصَ see نَقَصَهُ.4 أَنْقَصَ see نَقَصَهُ.5 تنقّص: see نَقَصَ.

A2: تنقّصهُ: see نَقَصَهُ. b2: He attributed to him defect, or imperfection; i. e. to a man; (M;) as also ↓ انتقصهُ, and ↓ استنقصهُ: (M, TA:) he attributed or imputed to him, charged him with, or accused him of, a vice, fault, or the like; detracted from his reputation; censured him; reproached him; spoke against him; impugned his character; (S, A, K;) as also ↓ انتقصهُ: (A:) [and نَقَصَهُ signifies the same; for] IKtt says, that ↓ نقص [app. نُقِصَ], inf. n. نَقِيصَةٌ, signifies طعن عليه [app. طُعِنَ عَلَيْهِ]. (TA.) 6 تَنَاْقَصَ see نَقَصَ, where two meanings are assigned to it.8 انتقص: see نَقَصَ.

A2: انتقصهُ: see نَقَصَهُ, in four places. b2: See also 5, in two places.10 استنقص الثَّمَنَ He (the buyer, S) asked, demanded, or desired, a diminution, a lessening, a lowering, or an abatement, of the price. (S, A, K.) b2: See also 5.

نَقْصٌ: see 1. b2: [Used as a subst., Loss, or loss of somewhat, decrease, a state of diminution or lessening or washing or waning, defect, defectiveness, deficiency, incompleteness, or imperfection, after wholeness or completeness, or perfectness; as also ↓ نُقْصَانٌ; and ↓ مَنْقَصَةٌ signifies the same as نَقْص] as here rendered, agreeably with the explanation (i. e. of منقصة) in the PS., which is كَمِىْ: or, accord. to the A, مَنْقَصَةٌ seems to be syn. with نَقِيصَةٌ in the sense assigned to this last in the S, or in certain senses assigned to it in the K, which see below; and thus to be more restricted in application than نَقْصٌ]. (S, TA.) b3: Weakness of intellect: (M, TA:) and weakness with respect to religion and intellect. (TA.) You say, دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ نَقْصٌ فِى دِينِهِ وَعَقْلِهِ [There came upon him a weakness in his religion and his intellect]: but one should not say ↓ نُقْصَانٌ [in this case]: (K:) app. because النَّقْص is “ weakness; ” whereas النُّقْصَانُ is only “ a going away [of part of a thing] after [its having been in] a state of completeness. ” (TA.) نُقْصَانٌ: see 1: b2: see also نَقْصٌ, in two places. b3: It also signifies The quantity that is gone, or lost, of a thing that is decreased or diminished or lessened. (Lth, A, K.) You say, نُقْصَانُهُ كَذَا وَكَذَا The quantity that is gone, or lost, of it is such and such. (TK.) نَقِيصَةٌ: see 1. b2: A defect, an imperfection, a fault, a vice, or the like; syn. عَيْبٌ: (S, TA:) or a low, or base, quality, property, natural disposition, practice, habit, or action; (K, TA;) of a man: (TA:) or a weak quality, &c.: (IDrd, K, TA:) but the attribution of weakness to a quality, &c., requires consideration: and it seems that what is meant by lowness, or baseness, is what leads to نَقْص: (TA:) [↓ مَنْقَصَةٌ, also, accord. to the A, seems to be syn. with نَقِيصَةٌ in one or another of the senses explained above; but its primary signification is probably a cause of نَقْص, like as that of مَبْخَلَةٌ is a cause of بُخْل, and that of مَجْبَنَةٌ a cause of جُبْن: the pl. of نَقِيصَةٌ is نَقَائِصُ: and that of مَنْقَصَةٌ is مَنَاقِصُ.] You say, مَا فِيهِ نَقِيصَةٌ and ↓ مَنْقَصَةٌ [There is not in him any defect, imperfection, fault, or vice, &c.]: and فُلَانٌ ذُو نَقَائِصَ and مَنَاقِصَ [Such a one has defects, &c.]. (A, TA.) A2: As a subst. from تَنَقَّصَهُ and اِنْتَقَصَهُ and اِسْتَنْقَصَهُ, [or, accord. to IKtt, as an inf. n. from نُقِص, and therefore from نَقَصَهُ also, (see 5,)] it signifies The attributing to a man defect, or imperfection: (M:) the attributing or imputing to men, charging them with, or accusing them of, vices, faults, or the like; censuring them; reproaching them; speaking against them; impugning their characters. (K.) A poet says, فَلَوْ غَيْرُ أَخْوَالِى أَرَادُوا نَقِيصَتِى

جَعَلْتُ لَهُمْ فَوْقَ العَرَانِينِ مِيسَمَا [But if others than my maternal uncles had desired to attribute to me defect, &c., I had set a brand upon them above the noses]. (M, TA.) نَاقِصٌ act. part. n. of 1. b2: دِرْهَمٌ نَاقِضٌ signifies A dirhem deficient in weight; (Msb;) light and deficient: and نُقَّصٌ occurs as pl. of ناقص thus applied, agreeably with analogy. (Mgh.) b3: [Hence, فِعْلٌ نَاقِصٌ meaning An incomplete, i. e. a non-attributive, verb: opposed to فِعْلٌ تَامٌّ.]

مَنْقَصَةٌ: pl. مَنَاقِصُ: see نَقِيصَةٌ, in four places: b2: and see also نَقْصٌ.

مَنْقُوصٌ pass. part. n. of نَقَصَهُ. (A, K.)

(TA.) It is said in a trad., respecting Munkidh, صُقِعَ آمَّةً i. e. He was struck on the top of his head: (O:) or he had his head broken so that the wound reached the membrane over his brain. (TA.) b2: One says also, صَقَعَ بِهِ الأَرْضَ (O, K) He threw him down, or prostrated him, on the ground; (K;) [lit.] he smote the ground with him. (Ibn-'Abbád, O.) b3: And صَقَعَتْهُ الصَّاقِعَةُ i. q. صَعَقَتْهُ الصَّاعِقَةُ, (S, O, K,) The thunderbolt smote him. (TA.) And صُقِعَ He was smitten by a thunderbolt; i. q. صُعِقَ; of the dial. of Temeem: (O:) and so صَقِعَ; (K, TA;) like صَعِقَ.

And hence, (TA,) صَقَعَ said of a cock, (S, O, K,) aor. ـَ (O,) inf. n. صَقْعٌ and صُقَاعٌ (IDrd, O, K) and صَقِيعٌ, (K,) He [crowed, or] uttered a cry: (IDrd, S, O, K:) and so سَقَعَ.

[in all directions]: (TA:) one says, مَا أَدْرِى أَيْنَ صَقَعَ, (S, O, TA, [but in the second, لَا is put in the place of مَا,]) and بَقَعَ, (TA,) meaning I know not whither he went away: (O, TA:) and the verb is seldom used in this sense without the particle of negation. (TA.) Or it signifies, (K,) or signifies also, (O,) or so صَقِعَ, (S, TA,) like فَرِحَ, not صَقَعَ, (TA,) He deviated from the way, (S, O, K, TA,) and alighted, or descended and abode, alone, by himself: (TA:) or he deviated from the way of goodness and generosity. (IF, O, K, TA.) And صَقْعٌ signifies The going astray; losing one's way; or becoming lost; and perishing; or dying. (TA. [But I think that this is probably a mistranscription for صَقَعٌ, inf. n. of صَقِعَ.]) You say also, صَقِعَ فُلَانٌ نَحْوَ كَذَا Such a one repaired towards such a thing. (TA.) b6: and صَقِعَتِ البِئْرُ, aor. ـَ (A'Obeyd, S,) inf. n. صَقَعٌ, The well collapsed; or broke down.
