(TA.) And you say, حَفَفْتُهُ بِهِمْ I surrounded it, or him, with them. (Ksh and Bd in xviii. 31, and TA.) And حُفَّتِ الجَنَّةُ بِالمَكَارِهِ (TA) a trad., meaning (assumed tropical:) Paradise is encompassed by things that one dislikes to do: these being likened to a wall, through which alone one can enter Paradise.

As] says, the حَفَّة is the مِنْوَال; and it should not be called the ↓ حَفّ; for the حَفّ is the مِنْسَج: (S, O:) [the former is also applied to the yarnbeam, upon which the yarn is rolled: see نِيرٌ:] in the L, it is said that the حَفَّة of the weaver is the wide piece of wood with which he arranges the woof between [the threads of] the warp: or, as some say, the three canes: and some say that it is ↓ حِفَّةٌ, with kesr: and it is said to be the thing with which the weaver strikes, like a sword: and the ↓ حَفّ is the cane that comes and goes [or goes to and fro; app. meaning the shuttle]: Az says, thus it is with the Arabs: and its pl.

إِصْبَعُهُ i. e. اِنْفَرَجَتْ وَزَالَتْ [Such a one fell, and his foot, or his finger, became unknit, or loosened, and dislocated]: (S, O:) [or] انفكّت قَدَمُهُ means زَالَتْ [i. e. his foot became dislocated; and انفكّت إصْبَعُهُ means اِنْفَرَجَتْ [i. e. his finger became unknit, or loosened in a joint].

(Msb.) One says, مَقْتَلُ الرَّجُلِ بَيْنَ فَكَّيْهِ [which may be best rendered The man's slayer is between his two jaws, or two lateral portions of his lower jaw]; (S, O, TA;) meaning the man's tongue: (TA:) a prov., in which مقتل may be [properly] an inf. n., or a noun of place, or an inf. n. used in the place of an act. part. n.: accord. to the third of these explanations, [which most nearly denotes the meaning intended,] it is as though one said, قَاتِلُ الرَّجُلِ بَيْنَ فَكَّيْهِ. (Meyd. [See Freytag's Arab. Prov., ii. 597.]) See also فَكَكٌ.

[But see 1, last explanation but one, where it is mentioned as an inf. n.]) b2: And (K) A state of dislocation of the foot: (S, O, K:) hence the phrase, in a verse of Ru-beh, كَمُنْهَاضِ الفَلَكٌ: (S, O: *) but (in this instance, O), accord. to As, الفَلَك is used by poetic license for الفَكّ [meaning “ the jaw,” so that the phrase signifies like him whose jaw has become broken after its having been set]. (S, O.) b3: And A state of fracture of the jaw: (K, TA:) or of dislocation thereof. (TA.) فَكَاكُ الرَّهْنِ and فِكَاكُهُ, (S, O, Msb, * K,) the latter mentioned by Ks (S, O, Msb) and ISk, (Msb,) That wherewith the pledge is, or is to be, redeemed: (S, O, Msb, * K:) so in a verse cited voce غَلَقَ.

(TA.) And أَحْمَقُ فَاكٌّ وَهَاكٌّ (tropical:) [A foolish, or stupid, person,] one who talks of that which he knows and of that which he knows not, and is more, or oftener, incorrect than correct.

مُفِكَّةٌ, applied to a she-camel, part. n. of أَفَكَّت [q. v.]: (O, TA:) and مُفْكِهٌ and مُفْكِهَةٌ are syn. therewith. (TA.) مُتَفَكِّكَةٌ A mare desiring the stallion, (AO, O, K,) not offering opposition to him. (AO, O.) مُنْفَكِّينَ in the Kur [xcviii. 1], (O, TA,) followed by the words حَتَّى تَأْتِيَهُمُ الْبَيِّنَةُ, (O,) means, accord. to Mujáhid (O, TA) and Zj, (TA,) In the condition of desisting (O, TA) from their infidelity; (TA;) or, as Akh says, ceasing from their infidelity: (TA:) or, accord. to another, (O,) namely, Niftaweyh, (TA,) quitting the present state of existence, (O, TA,) i. e., sharing, one with another, in perdition, until the evidence came to them (O, TA) that had been affirmed to them in the Towráh, with respect to the description of Mohammad &c.; تَأْتِيَهُم being lit. an aor. , but in its meaning a pret.: (O:) Az says that it is not from مَا انْفَكَّ meaning مَا زَالَ, but from اِنْفِكَاكُ الشَّىْءِ مِنَ الشَّىْءِ meaning “ the thing's becoming separated from the thing: ” accord. to IAar, as mentioned by Th, فُكَّ فُلَانٌ means “ Such a one was set free, and at rest, from a thing; ” and hence منفكّين in the Kur means experiencing rest: accord. to Er-Rághib, it means separated, or separated into several parties; for all [to whom the word, preceded by a negative, relates] were assenting to error. (TA.)
