زوق

2 زوّقهُ, (O, Msb, TA,) inf. n. تَزْوِيقٌ, (Msb, K,) [seems to signify primarily He washed it over with زَاوُوق, i. e. quicksilver; he silvered it therewith.] One says, زوّق الدَّرَاهِمَ [He washed over the dirhems with quicksilver]; from الزَّاوُوقُ. (MA.) b2: [Then, He gilded it with an amalgam of quicksilver and gold: see زَاوُوقٌ. b3: And hence,] He decorated it, and embellished it; namely, a thing [of any kind: and particularly he painted it]: but IF says that زوّقهُ, meaning thus, is without foundation; that they say it is from الزَّوُوقُ meaning الزِئْبَقُ; [as it is said to be in the K;] but that this is [mere] assertion. (O, TA.) [Whether properly or improperly, however,] one says, زَوَّقَ البَيْتَ بِالزَّاوُوقِ, i. e. He decorated the house, or chamber, [perhaps meaning the House of God, at Mekkeh, i. e. the Kaabeh, as appears to be probable from what here follows,] and changed its colour and its fashion or semblance, with زاووق, i. e. زئبق. (Har p. 107.) And it is related in a trad. that he [Mohammad] said to Ibn-'Omar, إِذَا رَأَيْتَ قُرَيْشًا قَدْ هَدَمُوا البَيْتَ ثُمَّ بَنَوْهُ فَزَوَّقُوهُ فَإِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ المَوْتَ فَمُتْ [When thou seest Kureysh shall have demolished the House of God, then built it again, and decorated it, if thou be able to die, then die]: he disliked the تَزْوِيق of mosques because of its inducing desire for the things of the present world, and its finery, or because of its diverting the person praying. (TA.) b4: One says also, (TA,) زَوَّقْتُ الكَلَامَ, and الكِتَابَ, (assumed tropical:) I embellished the speech, or language, and the writing, or book; and (tropical:) I rectified, or corrected, it. (S, TA.) And زَوَّرَ فُلَانٌ كِتَابَهُ and زَوَّقَهُ both mean (tropical:) Such a one rectified, or corrected, his writing, or book. (TA.) b5: And زَوَّقُوا الجَارِيَةَ They embellished the girl, or young woman, with نُقُوش [or decorations, app. such as are made by tattooing, or staining with حِنَّآء]: such decoration is termed ↓ زَوَاقٌ, like سَحَابٌ: and hence, ↓ تَزَيَّقِى, [Embellish thyself &c.,] said to a woman; [so that it is originally ↓ تَزَوَّقِى;] or this is from زيق, [i. e. زِيقٌ,] with ى. (TA.) 5 تَزَوَّقَ see the last sentence above, in two places.

زُوَقٌ: see زَاوُوقٌ.

زَوَقَةٌ [pl. of زَائِقٌ, act. part. n. of the unused verb زَاقَ,] Decorators, or embellishers, of the ceilings of houses or chambers. (AA, TA.) [See also زَوَّاقٌ.]

زَوَاقٌ: see 2, last sentence.

زَوَّاقٌ A decorator; an embellisher: and particularly a painter. See also زَوَقَةٌ, above.]

زَاوُوقٌ, (S, O, K, [in the CK written زاؤُقْ, as though it were زَاؤُوقٌ, the quiescent و being indicated by the sign of sukoon after the dammeh,]) of the dial. of the people of El-Medeeneh, (AA, S, O,) i. q. زِئْبَقٌ [i. e. Quicksilver]; (AA, S, O, K;) as also ↓ زُوَقٌ; (AA, O, K;) but from what is said by IB, it would seem that this last word is pl. of زَاوُوقٌ: (TA:) it is used in ↓ تَزَاوِيق [meaning decorations, or embellishments, pl. of تَزْويقٌ used as a simple subst., or of the n. un. تَزْوِيقَةٌ]; (S, O;) and hence, [accord. to some,] التَّزْوِيقُ signifying

“ the act of decorating, and embellishing; ” (K;) for it is put, together with gold, (S, O, K,) for overlaying therewith, (K,) upon iron, (S, O,) and then it is put into the fire, whereupon the زئبق [or quicksilver] goes from it [by evaporation], and the gold remains: (S, O, K:) and hence anything decorated, or embellished, is termed ↓ مُزَوَّقٌ, (S, O,) though not having in it زئبق. (S.) تَزْوِيقٌ inf. n. of 2. (Msb.) [Used as a simple subst., this, or the n. un. تَزْوِيقَةٌ, has for its pl. تَزَاوِيقُ:] see the next preceding paragraph.

مُزَوَّقٌ Washed over with [زَاوُوق or] زِئْبَق [i. e. quicksilver]; applied to a dirhem. (TA.) Decorated therewith (TA) [or with an amalgam of quicksilver and gold subjected to the action of fire so that the quicksilver is evaporated]. b2: and hence, (TA,) Anything decorated, or embellished, (S, O, Msb, K, TA,) though not having in it زِئْبَق. (S, O.) See زَاوُوقٌ. b3: Also, applied to speech, or language, (assumed tropical:) Embellished: (Kr, TA:) and applied to a book, or writing, [in the same sense: (see 2:) or] as meaning (tropical:) rectified, or corrected; like مُزَوَّرٌ. (Az, TA.)

(TA.) And خَرَمَهُ, inf. n. as above, also signifies He hit, or hurt, his خَوْرَمَة [q. v.]. (TA.) You say also, خَرَمَ الخُرْزَةَ, (K, TA, in the CK [erroneously] الخَرَزَةَ,) aor. as above, (K,) and so the inf. n.; (TA;) and ↓ خرّمها, (K,) inf.n. تَخْرِيمٌ; (TA;) He cracked, or tore without separating, the suture, or seam, of a skin; syn. فَصَمَهَا: (K, TA, in the CK قَصَمَها:) or خَرَمْتُ الخَرْزَ, aor. and inf. n. as above, i. q. أَثْأَيْتُهُ [meaning I spoiled the sewing of the skin, or hide; as when one uses a thick instrument for sewing or perforating, and a thin thong; or as when one rends two stitch-holes into one]. (S.) [And خَرَمَهُ سَيْلٌ app. A torrent cut into it, or trenched it; namely, the ground, or the side of a mountain: see خَرْمٌ.] And ↓ خَرَمَتْهُ خَوَارِمُ [lit.

[See also 8.]) b3: خَرَمَ القِرْطَاسَ He hit the target with his arrow without perforating it. (TA.) b4: مَا خَرَمَ عَنِ الطَّرِيقِ He (a guide) did not turn aside from the way. (JK, S.) A2: خَرِمَ, (S, K,) aor. ـَ (K,) inf. n. خَرَمٌ, (S,) said of a man, (S, K,) He had the partition between his nostrils cut, or mutilated: or the extremity of his nose, but not to the extent denoted by the term جَدْعٌ: the epithet applied to the man in this case is ↓ أَخْرَمُ: (S:) or he had the partition between his nostrils slit; i. e. وَتَرَتُهُ ↓ تَخَرَّمَتْ. (K.) A3: خَرُمَ, aor. ـُ He cared not for what he did nor for what was said to him. (K.) 2 خَرَّمَ see 1. b2: [Hence,] ضَرْعٌ فِيهِ تَخْرِيمٌ An udder in which are incisions [or crackings of the skin]; and so فيه تَشْرِيمٌ. (TA.) 5 تخرّمت وَتَرَتُهُ: see 1, last sentence but one.

(K, TA.) ↓ انخرم [in like manner] signifies It became slit; said of the bore of the ear. (S.) And you say also, تخرّم الزَّنْدُ [The wooden instrument for producing fire cracked, or split]. (TA.) Hence the phrase, أَرَاكَ يَتَخَرَّمُ زَنْدُكَ, mentioned by IAar, meaning (assumed tropical:) I see thee to have no good in thee: for when the زند cracks, or splits, (إِذَا تَخَرَّمَ,) one cannot produce fire by mean of it, and there is no good in it. (TA.) [Hence likewise,] تخرّم زَنْدُهُ means also (tropical:) His anger became appeased: [or,] accord. to the S, تخرّم زَبَدُهُ has this meaning: and accord. to the A, تخرّم أَنْفُهُ has the same meaning. (TA.) Accord. to IAar, (TA,) جَآءَنَا فُلَانٌ يَتَخَرَّمُ زَبَدُهُ means (tropical:) Such a one came to us doing to us that which was wrongful, or injurious, and foolish, or stupid. (K, * TA.)

[A phrase similar to خَرَمَتْهُ خَوَارِمُ: see 1.]) And اُخْتُرِمَ عَنَّا (JK, * K,) [He was cut off from us by death;] he was taken away [from us by death]; (JK;) he died, (K, TA,) and went away [from us]. (TA.) Accord. to some, اِخْتِرامٌ [as an inf. n. of اُخْتُرِمَ] signifies The dying suddenly. (Har p. 123.) خَرْمٌ A prominence, or projecting part, of a mountain: (JK, S, K:) pl. خُرُومٌ.

(Er-Rághib, TA.) b2: [Hence,] صَنَعَ signifies also (assumed tropical:) [He fabricated speech or a saying or sentence or the like:] he forged a word; and poetry, عَلَى

فُلَانٍ in the name of such a one. (Mz, 8th نوع.) b3: And صَنَعَ, inf. n. صَنْعٌ [and صُنْعٌ] and صَنِيعٌ, [with the objective complement understood,] He worked, or wrought; he practised, or exercised, an art, a craft, or a manufacture.

(Mgh.) The saying مَا صَنَعْتَ وَأَبَاكَ means مَعَ

The saying of the Prophet, إِذَا لَمْ تَسْتَحْىِ فَاصْنَعْ مَا شِئْتَ [If thou be not ashamed, do what thou wilt,] is said to be an instance of an imperative phrase of which the meaning is predicative; i. e. it is as though he said, he who is not ashamed does what he will: (O, L, TA: *) and other explanations of it are mentioned in the O and L: (TA:) [but] this is held by A 'Obeyd to be the right meaning. (L.) In the phrase صُنْعَ اللّٰهِ, in the Kur [xxvii. 90, which may be rendered By the doing of God], صنع is in the accus. case as an inf. n.: but one may read it in the nom. case, meaning ذٰلِكَ to be understood before it. (Zj, O, TA.) One says also, مَا أَحْسَنَ صُنْعَ اللّٰهِ عِنْدَكَ and صَنِيعَ اللّٰهِ [How good is the doing of God with thee, or at thine abode!].

(Bd.) You say likewise, of a woman, صَنَعَتْ نَفْسَهَا: see 5. And you say also ↓ اِصْطَنَعْتُهُ, meaning (tropical:) I reared him; and educated, disciplined, or trained, him well. (S, * O, K, TA.) A2: Accord. to IDrst, صَنِعَ, inf. n. صَنَعٌ, signifies He was, or became, skilled, or skilful: but IB says that صَنِعَ has not been heard. (TA.) 2 صَنَّعَ see 1, latter half, in two places.3 مُصَانَعَةٌ primarily signifies The doing to one a thing in order that he may do another thing to the doer of the former thing. (TA.) b2: Hence, (TA,) (assumed tropical:) The treating with gentleness, or blandishment; soothing, coaxing, wheedling, or cajoling; and endeavouring to conciliate. (O, K, TA.) Or this is from the last of the following significations. (TA.) You say صانعهُ (assumed tropical:) He treated him with gentleness, or blandishment; &c. (O, TA.) and (assumed tropical:) He acted hypocritically with him. (TA.) and صانعهُ عَنِ الشَّىْءِ (assumed tropical:) He strove, or endeavoured, to turn him from the thing by deceit, or guile. (TA.) b3: And hence, (A, TA,) or from the last signification in this paragraph, (TA,) (tropical:) The act of bribing. (S, O, Msb, * K, * TA.) One says, صانع الوَالِىَ (tropical:) He bribed [the prefect, ruler, judge, or the like]. (TA.) And صانعهُ بِالمَالِ (tropical:) He bribed him with property, wealth, or money. (Mgh, TA. *) And it is said in a prov., مَنْ صَانَعَ بِالمَالِ لَمْ يَحْتَشِمْ مِنْ طَلَبِ الحَاجَةِ (tropical:) [He who bribes with property is not ashamed of demanding the thing wanted]. (S, O, TA.) b4: Also (tropical:) A horse's not putting forth, or giving, the whole of his strength in going; reserving somewhat thereof: one says, يُصَانِعُكَ بِبَذْلِهِ سَيْرَهُ (tropical:) [He keeps back from thee somewhat by the manner in which he exerts his power of going]. (O, K, TA.) 4 اصنع He (a man, O) aided, or assisted, another. (O, K.) And accord. to Ibn-'Abbád, followed in the O and TS and K, one says also, اصنع الأَخْرَقُ, meaning The unskilful learned, and did soundly, thoroughly, skilfully, or well: but this is a mistake, occasioned by his deeming dubious, or obscure, a passage in the Nawádir of IAar, where the latter says that اصنع الرَّجُلُ means أَعَانَ الأَخْرَقَ [i. e. The man aided, or assisted, the unskilful]. (TA.) A2: اصنع الفَرَسَ: see 1, latter half. [Freytag states, as on the authority of the K, that أَصْنَعَ, said of a horse, signifies “ Non omnibus viribus usus cucurrit, sed ita tamen ut eques eo contentus esset ” (which is nearly the same as a signification of صَانَعَ likewise mentioned by him): but this is a mistake.]5 تَصَنُّعٌ signifies The affecting a goodly way, mode, or manner, of acting, or conduct, or the like; (S, O, K, TA; [الصَّمْت in the CK is a mistranscription for السَّمْت;]) and the making a show thereof; (TA;) and the adorning oneself (K, TA) thereby, while internally unsound in the grounds of pretension to respect.

(TA.) b3: And hence, he says, the phrase in the Kur [xx. 43], وَاصْطَنَعْتُكَ لِنَفْسِى, which means (assumed tropical:) And I have chosen thee [for myself] to establish my evidence and to serve as my spokesman between me and my creatures so that thy doing thus shall be as though I did it: (TA:) or it means I have reared thee, (Az, TA,) or I have chosen thee, (O, K, TA,) [for myself,] for a special affair which I require thee to accomplish in a sufficient manner, (Az, O, K, TA,) concerning Pharaoh and his forces. (Az, TA.) See also 1, last sentence but one. b4: One says also, اصطنع خَاتَمًا He ordered that a signet-ring should be made for him. (O, K.) [See also 10.]

b5: And اصطنعهُ [in which the pronoun seems to refer to رِزْق i. e. sustenance, &c.,] also signifies قَدَّمَهُ [app. meaning He offered it]. (TA.) b6: And اصطنع [alone, for اصطنع مَصْنَعَةً,] (tropical:) He made, or prepared, a repast, feast, or banquet, to which to invite friends. (O, K, TA.) and (tropical:) He prepared food to be dispensed in the way, or cause, of God. (O and TA, from a trad.; mentioned also in the CK, but not in other copies of the K.) 10 استصنعهُ, accord. to the O, signifies He asked for it to be made for him: accord. to the L, استصنع الشَّىْءَ signifies he invited, or he induced, or caused (دَعَا,) [another] to make the thing. (TA.) In the saying of Es-Sarakhsee, اِسْتَصْنَعَ عِنْدَ الرَّجُلِ قَلَنْسُوَةً [app. meaning He asked, or desired, the man to make for him a قلنسوة (q. v.)], عند is redundant. (Mgh.) [See also 8.]

A2: Also A ↓ مَصْنَعَة of water; (O, K, TA;) i. e. a piece of wood [app. a plank or board] by means of which water is confined, and retained for a while: (TA:) pl. أَصْنَاعٌ: (O, K:) [but this explanation in the TA seems to have been founded upon a statement there made, that Az heard the Arabs call أَحْبَاس of water أَصْنَاع; (see حِبْسٌ, of which احباس is the pl.;) for I do not find ↓ مَصْنَعَةٌ thus expl. in any lexicon except the TA:] and ↓ صَنَّاعَةٌ, with teshdeed, and ↓ صَنَاعٌ, (O, K,) like سَحَابٌ, (K,) accord. to Lth, (O,) signify pieces of wood [or planks or boards] put together in water, to confine the water, and retain it for a while; (O, K;) like the حِبَاسَة [q. v.].

[And they came, their riders being like drinkers, or drunkards, and their driver like the سَفُّود of roasted flesh-meat]. (O.) In the L, السود is put in the place of السفّود; and after citing the verse above, [and app. reading مِثْلَ, regarding it as relating to the camels,] the author says that the poet means, سُودَ الأَلْوَانِ. (TA.) b7: And Roasted flesh-meat [itself]; syn. شِوَآءٌ. (So in copies of the K. [SM says that the right reading, as the explanation of الصِّنْعُ in this instance, is الشَّوَا; and cites IAar as saying الصِّنْعُ الشَّوَا نَفْسُهُ: but I think that the right reading is indicated by the addition نَفْسُهُ to be الشِّوَآءُ; and that IAar gives this signification after mentioning that which here next precedes it.]) رَجُلٌ صَنَعٌ, (Mgh, L, Msb,) and رَجُلٌ صَنَعُ اليَدَيْنِ, (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K,) and صَنَعُ اليَدِ, (Th, TA,) and اليَدَيْنِ ↓ صِنْعُ, (S, O, K,) and اليَدِ ↓ صِنْعُ, (TA,) and اليَدِ ↓ صُنْعُ, (IB, TA,) and Sh is related to have said, ↓ رَجُلٌ صَنْعٌ, (TA,) and اليَدَيْنِ ↓ صَنِيعُ, (S, O, K,) and اليَدِ ↓ صَنِيعُ, (TA,) and اليَدَيْنِ ↓ صَنَاعُ, (K,) and اليَدِ ↓ صَنَاعُ, but not صَنَاعٌ alone when applied to a male, (TA,) A man skilful in the work of the hands or hand: (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K, TA:) and a company of men you term الأَيْدِى ↓ قَوْمٌ صُنْعَى and ↓ صُنُعَى
