خل

أ1 خَلَأَتْ, (S, K,) aor. ـَ (K,) inf. n. خَلْءٌ, (S, K,) in an expos. of the Mo'allakát written خِلْءٌ, (TA,) and خِلَآءٌ, (S, K,) with kesr and medd, (S,) so accord. to IKoot and IKtt and 'Iyád and IAth and Z and Hr, but in some copies of the K خَلَآءٌ, and so many assert it to be, (TA,) and خُلُوْءٌ, (K,) said of a she-camel, (S, K,) She lay down, or kneeled and lay down, upon her breast: (Lh, K:) or she was, or became, refractory, or stopped and was refractory, (S, K,) and lay down, or kneeled and lay down, upon her breast, without disease or other like cause, (S,) and would not move from her place: (Lh, K:) like

أَلَحَّ said of a he-camel, and حَرَنَ said of a horse: (S:) the epithet applied to her that does thus is ↓ خَالِئٌ, (Lh, K,) without ة; (Lh;) and [app. to her that does so much, or often,] ↓ خَلُوْءٌ. (K.) And in like manner خَلَأَ is said of a he-camel; (K;) accord. to ISh, only of a he-camel: (TA:) or the verb is used only in speaking of a female [when relating to a camel]: (K:) one should not say of a he-camel خَلَأَ: (Az, S, Z, Sgh:) but it is also said of a man, (K,) tropically, (TA,) inf. n. خُلُوْءٌ, meaning (tropical:) He moved not from his place. (K, TA.) b2: [See also what next follows.]3 خالأ القَوْمُ [in the CK خَلَأَ] The people, or party, or company of men, left one thing, and betook themselves to another. (Th, K, TA.)

(the latter of which seems to be peculiar to the intrans. verb خَضَبَ) see what follows], He coloured, or tinged, (A, K,) a thing; (S, A, * K; *) or changed it in colour to red, or yellow, &c.; (TA;) and ↓ خضّب signifies the same, [but app. in an intensive sense, or as applying to a number of objects, (see its pass. part. n. voce خَضِيبٌ,)] (K,) inf. n. تَخْضِيبٌ: (TA:) and the former, particularly, he tinged, or dyed, his white hair, (TA,) or the hand, &c., (Msb,) with hinnà: (Msb, TA:) but when a man has dyed his hair with any other dye than hinnà, you say, صَبَغَ شَعَرَهُ: (Msb, TA:) or you say also, خَضَبَ بِالسَّوَادِ [He dyed his hair with black]. (Suh, TA.) When one does not mention the hair (Msb, TA) or the white hair [&c.], (Msb,) he says خَضَبَ, inf. n. خِضَابٌ; (IKtt, Msb;) and ↓ اختضب, (S, IKtt, Msb, TA,) and ↓ تخضّب; (A, TA;) [meaning He dyed his hair, &c.,] with hinnà, (S, IKtt, Msb, TA,) and the like: (S, TA:) and in like manner one says of a woman, خَضَبَتْ, aor. ـِ and ↓ اختضب: (TA:) which last also signifies [particularly] She dyed her hands with hinnà. (T, TS, TA, in art. غمس.) b2: Hence, in a trad., بَكَى حَتَّى خَضَبَ دَمْعُهُ الحَصَى (tropical:) He wept so that his tears wetted the pebbles: or, more probably, so that his tears became red, and dyed the pebbles: (IAth, TA:) [or most probably, so that his tears caused the pebbles to appear of a reddish colour; for such is commonly the case when pebbles are wetted.]

A2: خَضَبَ, aor. ـِ and خَضِبَ, aor. ـَ and خُضِبَ; inf. n. of each خُضُوبٌ; and ↓ اخضوضب; (tropical:) It (a tree) became green. (K, TA.) And خَضَبَ, inf. n. خُضُوبٌ, (assumed tropical:) Its small leaves came forth in the spring, and its twigs lengthened; said of the قَتَاد, at the commencement of its vegetation; and likewise of the عَرْفَج and عَوْسَج; but of no other tree of the kind called عِضَاه: or said also of the عُرْفُط and سَمُر; meaning (assumed tropical:) it dropped its leaves, and became red and yellow: (TA:) and you say also, خَضَبَتِ العِضَاهُ (tropical:) the عضاه became green, and broke forth; (A;) or the sap of the عضاه flowed in their branches, and they became green; as also ↓ أَخْضَبَتْ, (TA,) for which اخصبت, with the unpointed ص, is said by Az to be a gross mistranscription; explained by Lth, on whose authority it is written with ص, [as also in the K in art. خصب,] as meaning the sap flowed in the branches of the عضاه so as to reach the roots. (T and TA in art. خصب.) And خَصَبَ النَّخْلُ, (S, K,) inf. n. خَضْبٌ, (K,) The palm-trees, (S,) or the spadices of the palm-trees, (K,) became green. (S, K.) And خَضَبَتِ الأَرْضُ, (A, K,) inf. n. خَضْبٌ; (TA;) and ↓ اخضبت, (K,) inf. n. إِخْضَابٌ; (TA;) or ↓ اختضبت; and ↓ تخضّبت; (A;) The earth, or land, exposed to view, (A,) or produced, (K,) its herbage, (A, K,) and it (the latter) became green.

خَضْبٌ The colour of a tree, or of the spadix of a palm-tree, when it becomes green: pl. خُضُوبٌ.

(TA.) خَضْبَةٌ A spadix of a palm-tree: خَصْبَةٌ, [q. v.,] with the unpointed ص, is erroneously said to have this signification. (TA.) خُضَبَةٌ A woman who uses خِضَاب for herself [i. e. for dyeing her hair or hands &c.] much, or often. (S, A, K.) خِضَابٌ Hinnà (حِنَّآء), and the like: (Msb:) or the thing with which one dyes, or tinges, his, or her, hair &c.; (S, K, TA;) such as حِنَّآء and كَتَم and the like. (TA.) خَضُوبٌ: see خَضْبٌ.

خَضِيبٌ Anything dyed, tinged, or changed in colour; [generally, with hinnà;] as also ↓ مَخْضُوبٌ: the former is both masc. and fem.: and its pl. is خُضُبٌ. (TA.) You say كَفٌّ خَضِيبٌ (S, A, K) and ↓ خَاضِبٌ (TA voce ضَارِبٌ) [A hand dyed with hinnà]: and بَنَانٌ خَضِيبٌ and ↓ مَخْضُوبٌ (K) and ↓ مُخَضَّبٌ (S, A, K) [fingers, or fingers' ends, dyed with hinnà]; but the last of these has an intensive signification. (S.) b2: And hence, (TA,) الكَفُّ الخَضِيبُ (assumed tropical:) A certain star; (S, A, K;) the star β of Cassiopeia; (so in the Egyptian almanacs;) [i. e.] the bright star of the constel-lation called ذَاتُ الكُرْسِىِّ; which star is [termed] the extended right hand of الثُّرَيَّا [or the Pleiades; corresponding to the star called الكَفُّ الجَذْمَآءُ]. (Kzw. [See أَجْذَمُ.]) b3: And اِمْرَأَةٌ خَضِيبٌ [A woman having her hands, or feet, or hair, &c., dyed with hinnà or the like]. (K.) خَاضِبٌ A man dyeing, or who dyes, his hair with hinnà. (Msb.) b2: See also خَضِيبٌ. b3: Also (tropical:) A male ostrich (S, A, K, &c.) whose shanks (A, K) and legs (A) have become red, (A, K,) or green, [app. meaning of a dark, or an ashy, dustcolour,] or yellow, (A,) in consequence of his lusting after the female, (A, K,) or in consequence of his having eaten the [herbage termed] رَبِيع: (A:) or the front edges of whose shanks have become red, (S, K,) or green, (K,) or yellow, in consequence of his having eaten the [herbage termed] ربيع: (S, K:) or whose beak and shanks have become red from his having eaten the [herbage termed] ربيع: in the summer (الصَّيْف) he becomes bald (يــقرع), and his shanks become white: (L:) or whose shanks have become green by reason of lust in the [season termed] ربيع: (ADk:) accord. to some, (TA,) it is applied only to the male ostrich: (S, K:) but some explain it without this restriction; and Lth mentions [the fem.] خَاضِبَةٌ as applied to an ostrich: [it is said that] the skin of the neck, and that of the breast, and that of the thighs, of the male ostrich, but not his feathers, become intensely red when he lusts after the female: or, as some say, خاضب signifies an ostrich that has eaten green food: (TA:) or the extremities of whose feathers are dyed by [the eating of] blossoms, and the slender parts of whose legs have become red by the same cause: accord. to an Arab of the desert, supposed to be Aboo-Kheyreh, in the [season termed]

ربيع, when it eats أَسَارِيع [app. meaning certain worms so called], its legs and beak assume the red hue of the عُصْفُر [or safflower]: (AHn, L:) or خاضب is applied to a male ostrich the slender parts of whose legs become red when the dates begin to become red, and cease to be so when the redness of the dates ceases: (AHn, K:) so that it is not from eating اساريع, which, it is said, no ostrich is known to eat: accord. to As, the cause [of the redness above mentioned] is only the dye of blossoms; but were it so, the bird would also become yellow, and green, &c., [and some assert that it partially does, as has been shown above,] accord. to the colours of the blossoms and herbs; and the green colour would predominate: [but, as the Arabs say, this requires consideration:] whatever be the cause, the bird, it is said, is termed خاضب on account of the redness that affects its shanks: and this word is [said to be] an epithet used as a proper name of the bird: (AHn, L:) but this is a mistake, unless it mean that, because of its prevailing application, it is used in the same manner as الحٰرِثُ and العَبَّاسُ, not that it may be used [in a determinate sense] without the article ال: (L:) the pl. is خَوَاضِبُ. (TA.) It is also said to be applied as an epithet to Any animal that eats خَضْب [q. v.]: (TA:) and particularly to [the species of bovine antelope called] the wild bull (الثَّوْرُ الوَحْشِىُّ). (L.) b4: [See also a saying of Dukeyn cited voce رَاوُوقٌ.]

(TA.) b2: مَخَاضِبُ [is its pl.; and also] signifies The rags of the خِضَاب [or hudot;innà or the like]: (A:) [or] of the حيض [or catamenia]. (TA.) [If these two significations be correct, the latter is app. tropical: but حيض may be a mistranscription for خضاب.]

مُخَضَّبٌ: see خَضِيبٌ.

مَخْضُوبٌ: see خَضِيبٌ, in two places.

ISd says, Th cites this verse, and says in explanation of it, This was a man who swore, saying, If I do not overcome, I will cut off my hand. He seems to consider it as implying the signification of vowing. So in the L. But it requires consideration.

(M) or she, as it were, called upon the dead man, enumerating his good qualities and actions, as though he heard her. (Msb.) It is said that the action is peculiarly that of women; and that the verb is derived from نَدَبَهُ, “he called him ” to do a thing; or from نَدَبٌ, “a scar,” because the wailer mentions the memorials of him who has gone; or perhaps from نَدْبٌ, “lightness, or activity. ” (MF.) A2: نَدِبَ, aor. ـَ (inf. n. نَدَبٌ, TA;) and ↓ اندب; It (a wound) had a hardened scar, such as is termed نَدَبَة. (K.) b2: نَدِبَ, aor. ـَ inf. n. نَدَبٌ [so accord. to the TA, agreeably with analogy; but in the CK and a MS. copy, نَدْبٌ; whence, and from the form of the latter of the two inf. ns. here following, it seems not improbable that the verb may be also written نَدَبَ;] and نُدُوبَةٌ and نُدُوبٌ, It (the back) had upon it scars, such as are termed نُدُوب. (K.) A3: نَدُبَ, aor. ـُ inf. n. نَدَابَةٌ, TA,) He was light, or active, (and quick, TA,) in the accomplishment of affairs, or wants: he was clever, ingenious, or acute in mind; excellent. (K.) 2 ندّب He took, got, or won, a bet, wager, or stake. (L.) b2: See 1.4 اندبهُ It (a wound) made, or left, a scar upon him. (K.) b2: He made a scar upon his skin. (TA.) b3: See بَدَبٌ. b4: اندب بِظَهْرِهِ, and فى ظهره, He, or it, left scars (نُدُوب) upon his back. (TA.) b5: أَنْدَبَتْهُ الحَاجَةُ إِنْدَابًا شَدِيدًا (tropical:) The thing, or want, made a severe impression upon him. (TA.) b6: اندب نَفْسَهُ, and بِنَفْسِهِ, He exposed himself to peril. (K.) A2: See 1.8 انتدب لَهُ He answered, or complied with, or obeyed, his call, summons, or invitation, (S,) and hastened to him, when called to war, succour, &c. (TA.) b2: انتدب اللّٰهُ لِمَنْ خَرَجَ فِى سَبِيلِهِ (occurring in a trad., TA,) God answereth his prayer for forgiveness [who goeth forth to fight for the sake of his religion]: or is surety, or guarantee, for him: or hasteneth to grant him a good recompense: or graciously maketh his completion of that [recompense] to him necessary and sure. (K.) b3: انتدبوا إِلَيْهِ They hastened to him, either at his call, or summons, or of their own accord. (TA.) b4: خُذْ مَا انتدب Take thou what is easily attainable; what offers itself without difficulty: (AA, K:) as also ما انتدم. (TA.) b5: See 1 A2: انتدب لَهُ He opposed him in his speech. (K.) A3: إِيَّاكُمْ وَرِضَاعَ السَّوْءِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا بُدَّ مِنْ أَنْ يَنْتَدِبَ Beware of giving your children to a bad nurse; for it [that is the evil consequence, or the bad qualities that will be acquired,] will inevitably appear some day. Said by 'Omar. (TA.) نَدْبٌ A man who is light, or active, (and quick, TA,) in the accomplishment of an affair, or a want; (S, K;) as also ↓ مِنْدَبَى (K) and ↓ مِنْدِبَى: (TA:) a man who, when he is sent to accomplish a great, or an important, affair, finds it light to him: (A:) clever, ingenious, or acute in mind; excellent: pl. نُدُوبٌ and نُدَبَاءُ: (K:) the former agreeable with analogy; the latter formed from the imaginary sing. نَدِيبٌ; like سُمَحَاءُ, pl. of سَمْحٌ. (TA.) b2: نَدْبٌ, as applied to a horse, Sharp-spirited; (Lth, S;) contr. of بَلِيدٌ (Lth) excellent. (TA.) b3: نَدْبٌ Lightness, or activity. (MF.) b4: أَرَاكَ نَدْبًا فِى الحَوَائِجِ [I see thee to be clever in accomplishing affairs, or wants. (A.) A2: See نَدَبٌ.

نَدَبٌ, (S, K,) and, by poetical licence, ↓ نَدْبٌ, (MF,) The scar, (S,) or scars, (K,) of a wound, (S, K,) not rising above the surrounding skin: (S:) accord. to the K, pl. نَدَبَةٌ [which is written in several MS. copies of the K نَدْبَةٌ; and so in the CK; but this, accord. to the TA, is incorrect;] but it is a coll. gen. n., of which the n. un. is نَدَبَةٌ, like as شَجَرَةٌ is that of شَجَرٌ: (MF:) pl. أَنْدَابٌ and نُدُوبٌ: (K:) the former of نَدَبٌ agreeably with analogy: the latter dev. with respect to analogy; or pl. of نَدْبٌ. (MF.) b2: نَدَبٌ is also applied, in a trad., to the (tropical:) Marks made by Moses' smiting the stone [from which, thereupon, water flowed forth]; these marks being thus likened to the scars of wounds. (TA.) b3: نَدَبٌ is also employed to signify (tropical:) Scars upon men's reputation. A poet says, قَوْمٌ سَأَتْرُكُ فِى أَعْرَاضِهِمْ نَدَبَا A people upon whose reputation I will leave scars, the effects of my satires. (TA.) A2: نَدَبٌ The direction in which one shoots an arrow or arrows: syn. رِشْقٌ. (So in the S and the CK and several MS. copies of the K: in other copies, رَشْقٌ The act of shooting an arrow or arrows. Both these readings are correct accord. to the TA. See below.) إِرْتَمَى نَدَبًا أَوْ نَدَبَيْنِ He shot an arrow or arrows in one direction or in two directions: syn. وَجْهًا أَوْ وَجْهَيْنِ. (TA.) b2: نَدَبُنَا يَوْمَ كَذَا (said by those who are to contend at a shooting-match, TA,) The day of our commencing shooting shall be such a day. (K.) This confirms the assertion in the TA, that نَدَبٌ is syn. with رَشْقٌ, as well as with رِشْقٌ. In the Turk. K, in the place of يَوْمَ ابْتِدَائِنَا, we find يوم انْتِدَابِنَا; and Freytag adopts the latter reading; but I find no other authority for it.]

b3: نَدَبٌ A bet, wager, stake, or thing wagered; what is staked at a shooting match, or a race, and taken by the winner: (S, * K, * L:) pl. أَنْدَابٌ. (Msb.) So in the following phrases. b4: بَيْنَهُمْ نَدَبٌ [Between them is a bet, or wager]. b5: أَقَامَ فُلَانٌ عَلَى نَدَبٍ [Such a one stood to a bet, wager, or stake]. (TA.) b6: 'Orweh says, أَيَهْلِكُ مُعْتَمٌّ وَزَيْدٌ وَلَمْ أُقِمْ عَلَى نَذَبٍ يَوْمًا وَلِى نَفْسُ مُخْطِرِ [Shall Moatemm and Zeyd perish, and I not stand to a stake, some day, when I have the soul of one who makes his life a stake to his adversary and sallies forth against him?] These two were his ancestors. (S.) Or, accord. to Az, who reads أَتَهْلِكُ, they were two tribes. (TA.) نَدِبٌ: see نَدِيبٌ.

نَدْبَةٌ [a fem. epithet] Any camel's foot, or hoof, [meaning any camel, or hoofed beast,] that does not remain in one state. (K.) نُدْبَةٌ, a subst., A call; a summons; an invitation to do a thing. (Msb.) b2: نُدْبَةٌ: a subst., (tropical:) The act of wailing for, weeping for, lamenting, or deploring the loss of, one who is dead, as described in the explanations of نَدَبَ الميّت, and بَدَبَتْه. (S, K, M, Msb.) b3: [هَآءُ النَّدْبَةِ The ه of lamentation].

A2: عَرَبِىٌّ نُدْبَةٌ An Arabian of chaste speech; (K;) eloquent. (TA.) نَدِيبٌ, (K,) or ↓ نَدِبٌ, (L,) A back having upon it scars, such as are termed نُدُوب: (L, K:) the former epithet is also applied in the same sense to a wound: and, so applied, is also explained by the word مَنْدُوبٌ: (TA:) [app. meaning that will be wailed for, or deplored; i. e., fatal].

نَادِبَةٌ (tropical:) A wailing woman; or one wailing for, weeping for, or deploring the loss of, one who is dead, as described in the explanations of نَدَبَ الميّت, and نَدَبَتْهُ: (M, Msb:) pl. نَوَادِبُ. (Msb.) النَّدَّابَتَانِ a name given to Two bad marks in horses. (TA.) مَنْدَبٌ A place to which one is called, summoned, or invited. Hence بَابُ المَنْدَبِ [The Strait Báb el-Mendeb, or The Strait of the Place of Summons:] so called because a certain king summoned a number of men to break through the mountain there, which originally opposed a barrier to the sea, in order to drown his enemy; and this they did, thus overwhelming with the waters many cities and towns with their inhabitants, and forming the sea which intervenes between El-Yemen and Abyssinia, and which extends to 'Eydháb and Kuseyr [&c.]. (Yaakoot.) This king was Alexander the Greek! (TA.) [It is probable that the appearance of the Strait gave rise to this story, and thus to its name: but it is also probable that the name may signify The Strait of the Place of Wailing for the Dead; as many perish who go forth from it.]

مَنْدَبَى and مِنْدِبَى: see نَدْبٌ.

مُنَدَّبٌ: see مَنْدُوبٌ.

مَنْدُوبٌ One sent to do a thing; a messenger; an envoy; an ambassador. (TA.) b2: فُلَانٌ مَنْدُوبٌ لِأَمْرٍ عَظِيمٍ, and لَهُ ↓ مُنَدَّبٌ, Such a one is sent to do a great thing; or to perform an important affair. (A.) b3: ↓ مُنَدَّبَةٌ an appellation, given by the people of Mekkeh to their Envoys, or ambassadors, to the palace of the Khaleefeh. (TA.) b4: مَنْدُوبٌ Desired; sought; sought after; as the name of a certain horse it is thus explained: from نَدَبٌ, as signifying “ a pledge that is given on the occasion of a race. ” (L.) b5: مَنْدُوبٌ: see نَدَبَ الميّت: A thing bewailed, [or complained of as painful,] with the exclamation of يَا or وَا. O! or Alas! (KT.) [The name of the thing thus bewailed, or complained of, has always an ا of prolongation and ه annexed to it, or the ا only.] b6: مَنْدُوبٌ, originally مَنْدُوبٌ إِلَيْهِ, A thing to the performance of which one is called, summoned, or invited: (Msb:) [hence,] approved: (K:) a signification verified by the doctors of practical law: (TA:) a thing the doing of which is more excellent than the leaving it undone, in the eye of the prescriber of the law, but which it is allowable to leave undone. (KT.) [Freytag, in quoting the original words, omits فِعْلُهُ before راجحًا.]

نضب

1 نَضَبَ, aor. ـُ (S, K, &c.) and also نَضِبَ, (Msb,) which latter is strange, (MF,) inf. n. نُضُوبٌ; (S, K, &c.;) and ↓ نضّب; (K;) It (water) sank into the earth; disappeared in the earth: (S, M, K, &c.:) and became low: (S:) became remote. (S, M.) b2: نَضَبَ الحَوْضُ, occurring in a verse cited by Th, [The water of the tank or cistern, sank into the earth]. (TA.) b3: نَضَبَتْ عُيُونُ الطَّائِفِ [The sources of El-Táïf became dried up]. (A.) b4: مَا نَضَبَ عَنْهُ البَحْرُ وَهُوَ حَىٌّ فَمَاتَ فَكُلُوهُ That from which the water of the sea has become exhausted, and has dried up, it being alive, and which has then died, eat ye it. (TA, from a trad.) b5: كُنَّا عَلَى شَاطِئِ النَّهْرِ بِالْأَهْوَازِ وَقَدْ نَضَبَ عَنْهُ المَاءُ [We were on the bank of the river in El-Ahwáz, and the water had sunk, or receded, from it, leaving it dry]. (TA, from a trad.) b6: نَضَبَتْ عَيْنُهُ, (aor.

نَضُبَ, inf. n. نُضُوبٌ, TA,) (tropical:) His eye sank, or became depressed, in the socket: or it is only said of the eye of a she-camel. (K.) b7: نَضَبَ It (herbage and the like, that had been abundant,) became little, or scanty: (K:) or failed altogether. (TA.) b8: نَضَبَ is met. used with reference to accidents [as it is properly with respect to substances]: thus it is said in a trad., نَضَبَ عُمْرُهُ (tropical:) His life passed away, or ended. (IAth.) This is what F means by saying نَضَبَ فُلَانٌ signifies مَاتَ, (tropical:) Such a one died. (TA.) b9: نَضَبَ خَيْرُهُ, inf. n. نُضُوبٌ, (tropical:) His goodness, or beneficence, became little. (Az.) b10: نَضَبَ مَاءُ وَجْهِهِ (tropical:) He was not ashamed. (TA.) A2: نَضَبَ, (inf. n. نُضُوبٌ, TA,) (tropical:) It (a desert) was far-extending. (K.) b2: نَضَبَ, inf. n. نُضُوبٌ, (tropical:) It (a people, or party,) was, or became, distant. (S.) b3: نَضَبَ (tropical:) It (a people, or party,) strove, or used exertion, [app., in a journey.] (TA.) A3: نَضَبَ, aor. ـُ It (a thing, TA,) flowed, and ran (K.) By our saying “ a thing,” we mean to exclude water, though water is included in the definition of a thing: so that we need not infer from what is said in the K that the verb bears two contr. significations. (TA.) [But this observation appears to me to be scarcely admissible.]

b2: نَضَبَتِ الدَّبَرَةُ [in the copies of the K in my hands, written دَبْرَة] The sore on the back of a camel &c. became severe. (K.) نَضَبَ الدَّبَرُ (tropical:) The scar of the sore became severe and deep in the back. (A.) A4: نَضَبَ الثَّوْبَ He pulled off the garment. (Msb.) 2 نَضَّبَ see 1 b2: نضّبت, inf. n. تَنْضِيبٌ, She (a camel) had little milk; and her flow thereof became slow; (K;) and her milk was long in flowing again into her udder after each previous milking. (TA.) 4 انضب القَوْسَ He pulled the string of the bow, in order that it might make a sound: like أَنْبَضَهَا: (K:) the former verb is [said to be] an original syn. of the latter; (TA;) [and if so, it has an inf. n., as shown below:] or he pulled the string of the bow, and then let it go, to make it twang: or he pulled the string of the bow without an arrow, and then let it go, to make it twang: (TA:) or he caused the bow to make a sound, or twang: (AHn, L:) انضب وَتَرَ القَوْسِ is the same as أَنْبَضَهُ, of which it is a transp. syn. (S.) AHn, gives to it the inf. n. إِنْضَابٌ; and yet asserts it to be formed by transposition: but this is absurd; for verbs so formed have not inf. ns.; as mentioned by Sb and Aboo-'Alee and the rest of the skilful grammarians. (Abu-l-Hasan.) See قَلَبَ.

غَضِيرٌ نَاضِبٌ A pool of which the water has sunk into the earth. (A.) b2: [So] ↓ عين مُنَضِّبَةٌ A source of which the water has sunk into the earth; [a source that has become dried up]. (A.) b3: خَرْقٌ نَاضبٌ (tropical:) [A deep hole: or a far extending desert]: syn. بَعِيدٌ. (S, TA.) b4: إِنَّ فُلَانًا لَنَاضِبُ الخَيْرِ (tropical:) Verily such a one is a person of little good, or beneficence. (Az.) b5: نَاضِبٌ (tropical:) Distant; remote: (As, S:) an epithet applied to water and anything. (TA.) b6: جَرْىٌ نَاضِبٌ (assumed tropical:) A far-extending run. (TA.) تَنْضُبٌ, a coll. gen. n., [I find it said to have been written with tenween by J himself: but it appears to have been also used as a generic proper name; and as such, having the measure of a verb, it must be written تَنْضُبُ, being imperfectly declinable:] A certain tree: the ت is augmentative, because there is no word of the measure فَعْلُلٌ; whereas there are words of the measure تَفْعُلُ, as تَقْتُلُ and تَخْرُجُ: n. un. تَنْضُبَةٌ: (S:) a certain tree of El-Hijáz: (K:) it grows large, in the form, or manner, of the سَرْح, having white and thick branches; and folds, such as are called حَظَائِر, are made of it: [this is the only meaning I can assign to the words وهو محتظر, supposing بِهِ to be omitted after محنظر, though يُحْنَظَرُ would be better:] its leaves are contracted; and it always appears as though it were dry and dusty, though growing: (TA:) its thorns are like those of the عَوْسَج: (K, TA:) and it has a fruit [called مَغْدٌ (L, K, art. مغد)] like small grapes, which is eaten, of a reddish colour: AHn says, that its smoke is white, of the colour of dust; and that poets therefore liken dust to it: and in one place he says, that it is a large tree, without leaves [properly so called], which has a trunk, and from which grow thick boughs, with many branches; its leaves [if such they may be called] being only shoots, which are eaten by the camels and sheep and goats: Aboo-Nasr says, that it is a tree having short thorns: not of the trees that grow on lofty mountains; frequented by chameleons: [see حِرْبَاءٌ, in art. حرب: and see an ex. in a verse cited voce سَاقٌ:] ISd thinks that it is thus called because of its little sap: AM says, that it is a large tree, from which are cut tentpoles: (TA:) and Ibn-Selemeh says, that it is a tree from which arrows are made. (S.) b2: نُوقٌ كَقِدَاحِ التَّنْضُبِ [She-camels like arrows made of the wood of the tendub]. (TA).

(K.) ↓ الاِنْتِهَابُ is The taking of spoil, plunder, or booty, by whomsoever will: you say ↓ أَنْهَبَ الرَّجُلُ مَالَهُ [the man allowed, or gave, his property to be taken as spoil], ↓ فَانْتَهَبُوهُ, and نَهَبُوهُ, and ↓ نَاهَبُوهُ, which all signify the same, [and they took it as spoil]. (S.) b2: نَهَبَهُ الكَلْبُ, aor. ـَ The dog seized him (a man) by the tendon of his heel. (S, K.) b3: نَهَبُوهُ; (S, K;) and ↓ ناهبوه, (K,) inf. n. مُنَاهَبَةٌ; (TA;) (tropical:) They carped at him in their speech, (S, K,) or, with their tongues, and spoke roughly, harshly, or coarsely, to him: [as though they plundered him of his good name]. (A.) 3 نَاْهَبَ see 1. b2: ناهب الفَرَسُ الفَرَسَ, inf. n. مُنَاهَبَةٌ, (tropical:) The [one] horse emulated, or contended with, the [other] horse in running. (TA: and agreeably with this the inf. n. is explained in the S and K.) b3: Used not only with reference to a horse. The Rájiz says, نَاهَبْتُهُمْ بِنَيْطَلٍ جَرُوفِ [I emulated them, or contended with them, with a bucket that took up much water]. (S.) See also 6.4 انهب الرَّجُلُ مَالَهُ (S) The man allowed, or gave, his property to be taken as spoil, plunder, or booty. (TA.) It is doubly trans.: you say أَنْهَبْتُ زَبْدًا المَالَ [I allowed Zeyd to take the property as spoil]. (Msb.) See 1. انهبهُ فُلَانًا He offered it, or exposed it, to such a one, [to be taken as spoil]. (TA.) 6 تناهب الفَرَسَانِ (tropical:) The two horses emulated, or contended with, each other. (TA.) See also 3. b2: تَنَاهَبَا المَآءَ i. q. تَجَاشَعَاهُ, q. v. (TA, in art. جشع.) b3: تَنَاهَبَتِ الإِبِلُ الأَرْضَ (tropical:) The camels took much of the ground with their legs: (K:) [app. meaning, took wide strides over it: not, as rendered by Golius, “multum pulveris pedibus suis rapuerunt; ” nor, as rendered by Freytag, “ multum terræ pedibus abstulerunt ”]. b4: الإِبِلُ يَنْهَبْنَ السُّرَى, and يَتَنَاهَبْنَهُ, [The camels perform the night-journey with large strides]: and [in like manner] تناهبتِ الأَرْضَ. Camels that do so are termed إِبِلٌ نَوَاهِبُ. (A.) 8 إِنْتَهَبَ see 1. b2: انتهب الفَرَسُ الشَّوْطَ (tropical:) The horse gained the winning-post; or won the race.

(So in one copy of the S.) b2: [Hence] نَهْبٌ An incursion made into an enemy's territory for the sake of acquiring spoil, plunder, or booty; and a spoiling, or plundering. (TA.) A2: أَحْرَزْتُ نَهْبِى وَأَبْتَغِى النَّوَافِلَ, in a trad. of Aboo-Beker, means I have accomplished what I had to perform of the prayers termed الوِتْرُ before my sleeping, lest the occasion for my doing so should slip from me; and when I awake, I perform the prayers termed النوافل. (TA.) [He termed the وتر prayers نَهْبٌ because he performed them before the right time.]

نُكَتَةٌ A point; a dot; a speck; a minute spot; i. q. نُقْطَةٌ: (S, K:) pl. نُكَتٌ, (Msb, &c) agreeably with analogy, (TA,) and نِكَاتٌ, (K,) deviating from analogy, and, accord. to some, نُكَاتٌ, in which the ا is said to be added لِلْإِشْبَاعِ, or to render the sound of the fet-hah full, like رُخَالٌ (TA:) the last of these pls. has been heard [from the classical Arabs]; (Esh-Shiháb, in the Expos. of the Shifà;) or it is vulgar. (Msb.) b2: نُكْتَةٌ [A small spot, or mark,] resembling dirt upon a mirror: (K:) نُكْتَةٌ سَوْدَاءُ A small [black] mark, like a spot, or dot, resembling dirt upon a mirror or a sword or the like (L, from a trad.) b3: نُكْتَةٌ [A spot in the eye;] what resembles a وَقْرَة in the eye. (L.) b4: [↓ نَكْتٌ seems to be a quasi-pl. of نُكْتَةٌ, like as نَقْطٌ is said to be (by some persons in the present day) of نُقْطَةٌ, and to signify Any small spots, or specks, in a thing, differing therefrom in colour. Such I suppose to be meant by the words in the L, كلّ نَقْطٍ فى شىء خالف لونه نَكْتٌ.]

A2: نُكْتَةٌ (tropical:) A nice, subtile, subtilely excogitated, quaint, facetious, or witty, saying, expression, or allusion, (لَطِيفَة) that makes an impression upon the heart; from النَّكْتُ [the striking the ground with a stick &c., so as to make a mark, or marks, upon it with its extremity]: also, a question educed by reflection, [بِالتَّفَكُّرِ, as the passage here translated is given in the Kull, p. 362, but in the TA بالنقل, which is an evident mistake, as might be shown by many authorities,] which makes an impression upon the heart, on hearing or considering which one generally makes marks upon the ground with the finger or the like: (El-Fenáree's Expos. of the Telweeh:) a nice, or subtile, saying, expression, or allusion, that requires one to reflect, and [induces one] to make marks upon the ground with a stick or the like: (from a scholium quoted by De Sacy, Anthol. Gr. Ar., 303:) [a nice, subtile, abstruse, or mystical, point, or allusion: the point of a saying or sentence, especially one that is difficult to be understood: a conceit expressed in words difficult to be understood: a quaint conceit: a point of wit: a facetious saying or allusion: pl., generally, نُكَتٌ]. b2: جَاءَ بِنُكْتَهٍ (tropical:) [He uttered a nice, or subtile, saying, expression, or allusion, &c.]. (A.) نَكِيتٌ Spoken against; having his reputation wounded. (TA.) نَكَّاتٌ (and ↓ مُنَكِّتٌ TA) (tropical:) One who speaks much, or frequently, against others; who wounds the reputations of others, much, or frequently. (K.) b2: زَيْدٌ نَكَّاتٌ فِى الأَعْرَاضِ Zeyd is one who wounds the reputations of others much, or frequently. (TA.) نَاكِتٌ A distortion in a camel's elbow, so that it lacerates his side: (El-'Adebbes El-Kinánee, S, K:) or the cutting of a camel's side by his elbow: (L:) or [that fault in a camel] when his elbow makes a mark, or marks, upon his side: in this case you say, بِهِ ناكتٌ: but when it makes an incision, or incisions, in his side, you say بِهِ حَازٌّ: (IAar) or ناكت is similar to نَاحِزٌ, i. e. the elbow's striking, and making a mark, or marks, upon the edge of the callous lump beneath his breast; in the case of which you say به ناكت: (Lth:) and nearly the same is said in the A. (TA.) مَنْكُوتٌ A cooked bone, containing marrow, that is struck with the edge of a cake of bread, or with some other thing, to cause the marrow to fall out. (TA.) مُنَكِّتٌ: see نَكَّاتٌ. b2: رُطَبَةٌ مُنَكِّتَةٌ, A date beginning to ripen [and to become speckled].

نتج

1 نَتَجَ, (S, K, &c.,) aor. ـُ (as in the L, [but I believe this to be a mistake,]) or ـِ (accord. to the Msb, MS, MF,) inf. n. نَتْجٌ; (S;) and ↓ انتج; (A;) He assisted a she-camel, (S, K, &c.,) [and a mare, see نُتِجَتْ,] and a ewe or she-goat (Msb) [or other quadruped], in bringing forth; delivered her of her young one; acting to her as a midwife does to a woman. (T, Msb, &c.) The original form of expression is نَتَجَهَا وَلَدًا He assisted her in bringing forth a young one; delivered her of a young one. (Msb.) El-Kumeyt has used the form ↓ اِنْتَتَجَ in the sense of نَتَجَ: but it is not commonly current in Arabic. (TA.) AHn mentions the saying النَّاسُ ↓ إِذَا نَآءَتِ الجَبْهَةُ نَتَّجُ وَوَلَّدُوا وَاجْتُنِىَ أَوَّلُ الكَمْأَةِ [When El-Jebhah (the tenth of the Mansions of the Moon) sets antiheliacally, (for the setting, not the rising, is here meant, and this it did, about the commencement of the era of the Flight, in central Arabia, on the 11th of February,) the people assist their beasts, much, or frequently, in bringing forth, and deliver them, and the first of the truffles are gathered]. Thus he relates the saying, with teshdeed to the ث of نتج, to denote frequency of the act. (L.) b2: نُتِجَتْ, pass. in form, [but neut. in signification,] inf. n. نِتَاجٌ (S, K, &c.) and تَنْجٌ; (TA;) and ↓ أُنْتِجَتْ, (K,) also pass. in form; and some say نَتَجَتْ, but this is rare, and not heard by IAar; (TA;) and some, also, say ↓ أَنْتَجَتْ, (Lth, Kr,) but Az holds this to be a mistake; (TA;) She (a camel, IAar, S, K, &c., and a mare, IAar, and a sheep or goat or other quadruped, Msb) brought forth: (T, Msb, TA:) or one does not say نُتِجَتِ الشَّاةُ unless a man assist at the bringing forth. (Lth.) Thus one suppresses the objective complement of the verb. And one also says تُنِجَتِ النَّاقَةُ وَلَدًا The she-camel brought forth a young one: and in like manner one says of a ewe or a she-goat: and sometimes, with the same meaning, نَتَجَتِ الناقة ولدا, in the act. form. (Msb.) One also says الإِبِلُ ↓ تَنَاتَجَتِ The camels brought forth. (A.) [You say,] نَتَجَ القَوْمُ, (Lth,) and ↓ أَنْتَجَ, (L,) The people's camels or sheep or goats brought forth: (Lth, L:) or ↓ أَنْتَجُوا they had pregnant camels bringing forth. (K.) One may also say نُتِجَ الوَلَدُ, meaning The young one of a she-camel &c., [see نُتِجَتْ, above,] was brought forth, or born. (Msb.) See 4. b3: [Hence,] الرِّيحُ تُنْتِجُ السَّحَابَ (tropical:) [The wind assists the clouds in the discharging of their rain; i. e., draws forth the rain from the clouds. (A, L.) b4: [نُتِجَ It was produced, it resulted, or was a natural consequence.]2 نَتَّجَ see 1.4 أَنْتَجَتْ She (a camel, S, and a mare, S, K, or other solid-hoofed animal, Msb,) became pregnant: (T:) and so ↓ نَتَجَتْ, said of a she-camel, (Msb,) or other beast; but this is rare: (EsSarakustee, Msb:) or attained to the time of bringing forth: (S, K:) or became evidently pregnant: (Yaakoob, S, Msb:) accord. to IAar, أُنْتِجَتْ, in the pass. form, signifies she (a mare, and a camel,) became near to the time of bringing forth; and he had not heard أَنْتَجَتْ, in the act. form. (TA.) b2: See 1 and 8. b3: أَنْتَجَ or أُنْتِجَ (?) (tropical:) It produced a thing as its fruit, or result. Ex.

العَجْزُ وَالتَّوَانِى تَزَاوَجَا فَأَنْتَجَا الفَقْرَ Impotence and remissness combined together, and produced, as their result, poverty. (A, L.) And هٰذِهِ المُقَدِّمَةُ لَا تُنْتِجُ تَنِيجَةً صَادِقَةً This preamble will not produce a praiseworthy result. (A.) 5 تنتّجت She (a camel) breathed hard (تزحّرت) that her young one might come forth. (K.) 6 تَنَاْتَجَ see 1.8 اِنْتَتَجَتْ (L, K, TA: in the CK أَنْتَجَتْ) She (a camel) went away at random, and brought forth in a place unknown: (K:) or she brought forth by herself, unassisted by any one; (Yaakoob, L;) as also ↓ أَنْتَجَتْ. (L.) نِتَاجٌ: see نُتِجَتْ. b2: [Also, an inf. n. in the sense of a pass. part. n., like حَمْلٌ in the sense of مَحْمُولٌ, &c., What is brought forth by a camel &c.; and what are brought forth by camels &c., collectively; a brood thereof; its, or their, increase, or offspring; as is plainly shown in the lexicons &c., in many passages: for ex., see شَرْخٌ, and دِفْءٌ: also applied, in the TA art. بطن, to the young in the belly of a mare].

نَتُوجٌ, (Az, S, K,) a rare form of epithet from a verb of the measure أَفْعَلَ, (Kr,) and ↓ مُنْتِجٌ, (Az, TA,) or the latter is not allowable, (S, K,) and ↓ نَتِيجٌ, (Kr,) A she-camel, (S, Kr,) or a mare, (S, K,) or other solid-hoofed animal, (Msb,) pregnant: (Lth:) or that has attained to the time of bringing forth: (S, K:) or evidently pregnant: (Yaakoob, S, Msb:) or near to the time of bringing forth, and big-bellied. (Az.) b2: [See also مَنْتُوجَةٌ.]

نَتِيجٌ: see نَتُوجٌ.

نَتِيجَةٌ A young one of a she-camel &c. [see نَتَجَ and نُتِجَتْ] brought forth. (Msb.) b2: نتِيجَةٌ (assumed tropical:) Any produce, fruit, result, or natural consequence, of a thing: (KL:) [the sum of a speech or saying: a necessary inference: the conclusion of an argument or of a syllogism: pl. نَتَائِجُ.] You say, هٰذِهِ نَتِيجَةٌ من نَتَائِج كَرَمِكَ (tropical:) [This is one of the fruits, or results, of thy generosity]. (A.) [For another ex. see 4.] b3: هُمَا نَتِيجَةٌ They are both of one age: said of two sheep. (Yoo, S.) غَنَمُ فُلَانٍ نَتَائِجُ The sheep, or goats, of such a one are of one age. (S, K.) هٰذَا الوَلَدُ نَتِيجُ وَلَدِى (tropical:) This child is one born in the same month, or year, as my child. (A.) نَاتِجٌ A man assisting a she-camel &c. [see نَتَجَ] in bringing forth; delivering her; or one who assists her in bringing forth; who delivers her. (Msb, TA.) مَنْتِجٌ The time at which a she-camel, (S,) or a mare, (K,) brings forth. (S, K.) Ex. أَتَتِ النَّاقَةُ عَلَى مَنْتِجِهَا The she-camel arrived at the time of her bringing forth. (S.) مُنْتِجٌ: see نَتَوجٌ. b2: قَعَدَ مُنْتِجًا (tropical:) He sat accomplishing a want of nature. (A.) مِنْتَجَةٌ The anus; syn. اِسْتٌ; as also مِنْثَجَةٌ.

(A.)
