A2: فَرِيصٌ is also, like فَرَائِصُ, pl. of فَرِيصَةٌ; (S;) [or, rather, فَرِيصٌ is a coll. gen. n., whereof the n. un. is ↓ فَرِيصَةٌ;] which signifies The portion of flesh [or muscle] between the side and the shoulder-blade which incessantly trembles, or quakes, (As, S, K,) in a beast: (As, S:) or the portion of flesh which is in the part extending from the مَرْجِع [or lower part, next the armpit,] of the shoulder-blade to the arm, on either side, and which trembles, or quakes, when the man, or beast, is frightened: (Zj, in his “ Khalk el-Insán: ”) or the portion of flesh which is by the نَغْض of the كَتِف, [which may app. be here rendered with sufficient exactness the cartilage of the shoulder-blade; or the part of it where it moves to and fro;] in the middle of the side, by the place where the heart beats: there are two such portions, each of them thus called, which tremble, or quake, on an occasion of fright: and the piece of flesh that is between the breast (ثَدْى) and the مَرْجِع [expl. above] of the shoulder-blade, of a man and of a beast: or, as some say, the lower part (أَصْل) of the مَرْجِعُ المِرْفَقَيْنِ [or place to which either elbow returns, in a beast, when, having been removed from the usual place, it is brought back thereto]: (M:) or a small piece of flesh which is in the heart, and which trembles, or quakes, by reason of a calamity, when one is frightened: (A 'Obeyd:) or a piece of flesh [or muscle] in the side, which trembles, or quakes, when one is frightened. (A.) [Hence the saying,] ↓ هُوَ ضَخْمُ الفَرِيصَةِ (tropical:) He is bold and strong. (A, TA.) b2: فَرِيصُ العُنُقِ The external jugular veins (أَوْدَاج) of the neck: n. un. with ة: (A 'Obeyd, S, K:) or the tendons, or sinews, (عَصَب,) and veins, of the neck: so, app., says A 'Obeyd, in the following words of a trad.: إِنِّى لَأَكْرَهُ أَنْ

أَرَى الرَّجُلُ ثَائِرًا فَرِيصُ رَقَبَتِهِ قَائِمًا عَلَى مُرَيْئَتِهِ يَضْرِبُهَا [Verily I hate to see the man having the tendons, or sinews, and veins, of his neck swelling with anger, rising against his little wife, beating her]: for these are what swell out in anger: (S:) or, accord. to IAar, the meaning is, the hair of the فريص, which term is metaphorically used in relation to the neck, though it [really] has no فَرَائِص, because anger causes its veins to swell out [like as fright causes the فَرِيص properly so called to tremble or quake]: (Az, TA:) فَرِيسٌ is a dial. var. of the same. (TA.) [See فَرَصَهُ, last signification.]

فَرِيصَةٌ: see فَرِيصٌ, in two places. b2: الفَرِيصَةُ i. q. أُمُّ سُوَيْدِ, (IDrd, O, K,) i. e., الاِسْتُ. (TA.) A2: See also فُرْصَةٌ.

أَفْرَصُ Humpbacked; as also أَفْرَزُ and أَفْرَسُ. (Fr in TA voce أَعْجَرُ.) مِفْرَصٌ: see what next follows.

مِفْرَاصٌ (IDrd, S, M, A, O, K) and ↓ مَفْرَصٌ (IDrd, S, O, K) A thing with which silver is cut, (S, A,) and gold: (A:) or a broad iron instrument with which one cuts: (M:) or the iron with which iron is cut, or silver: (K:) or a broad iron instrument with which iron is cut: (IDrd, O:) or the iron with which silver is cut: (O:) [see also مِقْرَاضٌ:] or, as some say, i. q. إِشْفًى

[q. v.] with a broad head, with which sandals are sewed. (IDrd, O.) El-Aashà says, وَأَدْفَعُ عَنْ أَعْرَاضِكُمْ وَأُعِيرُكُمْ لِسَانًا كَمِفْرَاصِ الخَفَاجِىِّ مِلْحَبَا [And I defend your honours, and lend to you a tongue like the مفراص of the Khafájee, sharp]. (S.) And you say, بَيْنَ جَنْبَيْهِ مِفْرَاصُ الخَفَاجِىِّ (tropical:) [Between his two sides is an intellect sharp as the مفراص of the Khafájee]. (A.) [Hence it seems that among the tribe of Khafájeh were expert workers with the instrument thus called.]

هُوَ مُفَارِصِى: see فَرِيصٌ, second sentence.

فصل

1 فَصَلَ, (S, M, O, Msb, K,) aor. ـِ inf. n. فَصْلٌ, (M, Msb, K,) He separated, or divided, (S, O, Msb, K,) and put apart, (Msb,) a thing, (S, O, Msb, *) عَنْ غَيْرِهِ [from another thing], (Msb,) and بَعْضَهُ مِنْ بَعْضٍ [or عَنْ بَعْضٍ i. e. part thereof from part]. (M and TA in art. ميز.) And (K,) He made a separation, or partition, (M, K, TA,) بَيْنَهُمَا (M, TA *) i. e. between them two, meaning, two things, making it known that the former had come to an end: so says Er-Rághib: (TA:) and فَصَلَ الحَدُّ بَيْنَ الأَرْضَيْنِ, [aor. and] inf. n. as above, The limit, or boundary, made, or formed, a separation between the two lands: (Msb:) and فَصَلْتُ بَيْنَ القَوْمِ I made a division, or separation, between, or among, the people, or party. (O.) b2: [Hence,] فَصَلَ الرّضِيعَ عَنْ أُمِّهِ, (S, Mgh, O,) or المَوْلُودَ (M, K) عَنِ الرَّضَاعِ, (M,) aor. as above, (M, K,) inf. n. فِصَالٌ, (S, O,) or فَصْلٌ, and the former is a simple subst., (M, K,) or both, (Mgh,) He weaned [the suckling from his mother, or the young infant from sucking the breast]; (S, M, Mgh, O, K;) as also ↓ افتصلهُ: (S, M, O:) or فَصَلَتِ المَرْأَةُ رَضِيعَهَا, inf. n. فَصْلٌ, and فِصَالٌ is the subst., the woman weaned her suckling. (Msb.) b3: Hence also, i. e. from فَصَلَ as first expl. above, فَصْلُ الخُصُومَاتِ The deciding of litigations, altercations, or disputes: like فَصْلُ الخِطَابِ: (Msb:) or this latter means distinct, or plain speech; which he to whom it is addressed distinctly, or plainly, understands; which is not confused, or dubious, to him: (Ksh in explanation of it in the Kur xxxviii. 19, and Mgh:) or such as decides, or distinguishes, between what is true and what is false, (Ksh ibid., Mgh, O, K,) and what is sound and what is corrupt, (Ksh, Mgh,) and what is correct and what is erroneous: (Ksh:) or such as decides the judgment, or judicial sentence: (Er-Rághib, TA:) or the evidence, or proof, that is obligatory [as a condition of his justification] upon the claimant, or plaintiff, and the oath that is obligatory [in like manner] upon him against whom the claim, or plaint, is urged; (Ksh, O, K; [an explanation of which a part is dropped in the CK;]) thus accord. to 'Alee: (Ksh:) or the [using of the] phrase أَمَّا بَعْدُ. (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. (TA.) And الفَصْلُ [alone] means The deciding judicially between what is true and what is false; (M, O, K;) and, (O, K,) sometimes, (O,) so ↓ الفَيْصَلُ; (S, O, K;) or this latter is [a simple subst, i. e.,] a name for such decision; (TA;) and is also an epithet [expl. below]. (M, O, K.) هٰذَا يَوْمُ الدِّينِ هٰذَا يَوْمُ الْفَصْلِ, in the Kur xxxvii. 20 and 21, means [This is the day of requital:] this is the day wherein a decision, or a distinction, shall be made (يُفْصَلُ فِيهِ) between the doer of good and the doer of evil, and every one shall be requited for his work and with that wherewith God will favour his servant the Muslim. (M.) And إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ يَفْصِلُ بَيْنَهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فِيمَا كَانُوا فِيهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ, in the Kur xxxii. 25, means [Verily thy Lord] He shall decide [between them], and distinguish what is true from what is false, [on the day of resurrection,] by distinguishing the speaker of what is true from the speaker of what is false, in respect of that wherein they used to disagree, of what concerned religion. (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. He was the first of us in going away (↓ اِنْفِصَالًا) from his house and his family and the last of us in returning to [it and] them. (Mgh.) And فَصَلَ فُلَانٌ مِنْ عِنْدِى, inf. n. فُصُولٌ, Such a one went forth [from my presence or vicinage, or from me]. (TA.) And فَصَلَ مِنِّى

كِتَابُ إِلَيْهِ [A letter] passed from me to him. (TA.) Thus the verb is intrans, as well as trans.; its inf. n. when it is trans, being فَصْلٌ; when intrans., فُصُولٌ. (TA.) b2: And فَصَلَ الكَرْمُ The vine put forth small grapes, resembling lentils or a grain similar thereto. (M, K.) 2 فصّل النَّظْمَ, (M, TA,) thus correctly, with teshdeed, bat in the K فَصَلَ, like نَصَرَ, (TA,) [inf. n. تَفْصِيلٌ,] He put between every two of the strung beads [or pearls] a bead such as is termed فَاصِلَةٌ [q. v., or what is described voce مُفَصّلٌ as an epithet applied to a necklace]. (M, K, TA.) b2: And فصّلتُ الشّىْءَ inf. n. تَفْصِيلٌ, I made the thing to consist of distinct portions or sections. (Msb.) b3: And فصّل الشّاةَ, (inf. n. as above, TA.) He (a butcher) divided the sheep, or goal, into limbs, or members. (S, O, TA.) b4: [Hence فصّل means also He cut a piece of cloth for a garment: and he cut out a garment: b5: whence تَفْصِيلٌ means The cut of a garment (See also De Sacy's Chrest. Ar., see. ed., i. 86-7.)] b6: and [hence, likewise,] تَفْصِيلٌ also signifies [The dissecting, or analyzing, of speech, or language: the explaining distinctly, or in detail: and] the making distinct, clear, plain, manifest, or perspicuous; i. q. تَبْيِينٌ. (S, O, K.) فَصَّلْنَاهُ in the Kur vii.50 [referring to the book of the Kur an] meansبيّنَّاهُ [Which we have made distinct, &c.]: or, as some say, whereof we have divided the verses by means of the فَوَاصِل [pl. of فَاصِلةٌ, q. v.]. (TA.) 3 فَاْصَلَ فاصل شَرِيكَهُ, (S, K, TA,) inf. n. مُفَاصَلَةٌ, (TA,) He separated himself from his partner, with the latter's concurrence; syn. بَايَنَهُ, (K, TA,) and فَارَزَهُ. (S and O and K in art. فرز.) 7 انفصل It became separated, or divided, (S, M, O, Msb, K,) and put apart (Msb.) b2: [and He went forth, or away; like the intrans. فَصَلَ.] See 1, near the end.8 إِفْتَصَلَ see 1, former half. b2: افتصل النَّخْلَةَ عَنْ مَوْضِعِهَا He transplanted the palm-tree. (AHn, M, K.) A man of Hejer [which is famous for its dates] said that the best of palm-trees is that of which the young one has been removed from its place of growth, which young one is called ↓ فَصْلَةٌ. (TA.) فَصْلٌ inf. n. of the trans. v. فَصَلَ [q. v. passim]. (M, Msb, K, TA.) [As a simple subst., it has various significations here following: and is] sing. of فُصُولٌ. (S, O.) b2: A separation, division, or partition, between two things. (M, K.) b3: The place of the مَفْصِل [i. e. joint, or articulation, and therefore of the division, of two bones] of the body: between every one such and another [that is the next to it] is a وِصْل [or limb, in the CK, erroneously, وَصْل]. (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. (Msb: see زَمَنٌ.) b6: And A division, or section, of a باب [or chapter]; as being divided from others, or as forming a division between itself and others, so that it has the meaning of the measure مَفْعُولٌ or that of the measure فَاعِلٌ. (MF, TA.) b7: And The contr. of أَصْلٌ [as denoting relationship]: there are أُصُول of relationship and فُصُول thereof; [the former meaning the stocks and] the latter meaning the branches. (Msb. [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. (O.) A3: And A general طَاعُون [i. e. plague or pestilence] (TA.) فَصْلَةٌ A transplanted palm-tree; (AHn, M, K;) a young palm-tree removed from its place of growth [meaning from its mother-tree]: pl. فَصَلَاتٌ.
