(TA.) 3 غاصبهُ إِيَّاهُ, accord. to Freytag, signifies He took it from him by violence: but for this he has not named any authority.]8 إِغْتَصَبَ see 1, in three places. b2: One says also, of a woman, اُغْتُصِبَتْ نَفْسَهَا, meaning (tropical:) She was constuprated by force; (A, Mgh, Msb;) as also اُغْتُصِبَتْ عَلَى نَفْسِهَا.

(TA.) غَزَلٌ, as expl. by 'Abd-El-Muttalib El-Baghdádee, in his Exposition of the نَقْدُ الشِعْرِ of Kudámeh, signifies The talk, and actions, and circumstances, occurring between the lover and the object of love; differing somewhat from تَشْبِيبٌ, which is a celebrating of the person and qualities of the beloved; and from نَسِيبٌ, which is a mentioning of the state, or condition, of the نَاسِب [himself], and of the object of the نَسِيب, and of all the affairs, or events, occurring between them two, [in the prelude of an ode,] thus including the meaning of تَشْبِيبٌ, and being a mentioning of غَزَل: accord. to Kudámeh, it signifies an inclining to foolish and youthful conduct, or a manifesting of passionate love, and becoming notorious for affections to women: (TA:) or it is the subst. from 3 [as such signifying talk, and amatory and enticing conduct, with women; or play, sport, dalliance, or wanton conduct, and amorous talk, with women]; (S, K;) as also ↓ مَغْزَلٌ: (K:) or play, sport, or diversion, with women: (ISd, TA:) or the talk of young men and [or with] young women: (Msb:) or, accord. to the leading authorities in polite literature, and those who have made the language to be their study, [or rather accord. to a loose and post-classical usage,] it signifies, like نَسِيبٌ, praise of what are apparent of the menbers of the object of love: or the mention of the days of union and of disunion: or the like thereof. (MF.) غَزِلٌ [is, by, rule, the part. n. of غَزِلَ, as such signifying Talking, and acting in an amatory and enticing manner, with a woman, or with women; &c.: but it is said that it] signifies صَاحِبُ غَزَلٍ; (S, O;) or مُتَغَزِّلٌ بِالنِّسَآءِ; (K, TA;) by which is here meant making mention, or speaking, or one who makes mention, or who speaks, [generally in verse,] of what is termed غَزَل [signifying as expl. above, i. e. the talk, and actions, and circumstances, occurring between the lover and the object of love; &c.]; thus used as being a possessive epithet, [not as a part. n. of غَزِلَ, because this differs in meaning from تَغَزَّلَ,] i. e. it signifies [properly] ذُوغَزَلٍ: (TA:) or it means displaying amorous gestures or behaviour, and foolish and youthful conduct such as is suitable to women, with the love, or passionate love, that he experiences for them, in order that they may incline to him: (Kudámeh, TA:) or it is applied to a man as meaning a companion of women because of his lacking strength to be otherwise: from what here follows. (IAar, TA.) b2: Lacking strength, or ability, to perform, or accomplish, things; (IAar, K, TA;) remiss, or languid, in respect to them.

[of pane.] is غِزْلَةٌ and [of mult.] غِزْلانٌ. (S, O, Msb, K.) A2: غَزَالُ شَعْبَانَ A certain insect (دُوَيْبَّةٌ), (K, TA,) a species of the [locusts, or locust-like insects, called]

[See also دَمُ الغَزَالِ and دَمُ الغِزْلَانِ and دُمْيَةُ الغِزْلَانِ voce دمٌ in art. دمو or دمى; and see likewise عَنْدَمٌ.]

غَزَالَةٌ fem. of غَزَالٌ, q. v.

A2: الغَزَالَةُ, also, signifies The sun; (S, O, K;) because it extends [what resemble] cords, [meaning its rays,] as though it were spinning: (K:) or the sun when rising; (Msb, K;) [therefore] one says طَلَعَتِ الغَزَالَةُ, but not غَرَبَتِ الغَزَالَةُ: (TA:) or the sun when high: (M, * K, TA:) or the عَيْن [meaning the disk, or, as it sometimes means, the rays, or beams,] of the sun. (K.) b2: And غَزَالَةُ الضُّحَى

means, (S, O, K,) as also غَزَالَاتُهُ, (K,) [or غَزَالَاتُهَا,] The beginning of the ضُحَى [or early part of the forenoon, after sunrise]; (S, O, K;) [whence] one says, جَآءَ فِى غَزَالَةِ الضُّحَى [He came in the beginning of the ضُحَى]; and Dhu-r-Rummeh uses الغَزَالَةَ, in the accus. case, as an adv. n., (S, O,) meaning in the time [or in the beginning] of the ضُحَى; (O;) or, accord. to IKh, this is for طُلُوعَ الغَزَالَةِ, meaning at the rising of the sun: (TA:) or the meaning of the phrases first mentioned in this sentence is after, or a little after, (accord. to different copies of the K,) the spreading of the son, [i. e. of the sunshine,] and its entrance upon the ضُحَى: or the first part of the ضُحَى, until the passing away of a fifth (or about a fifth, TA) of the day.

غَازِلٌ [act. part. n. of غَزَلَ; Spinning]. The pls. غُزَّلٌ and غَوَازِلُ are applied as epithets to women: (K, TA:) but the former is also applied to men, and is of a measure more usual as that of the pl. of the mase. act. part. n. than of the fem. (TA.) أَغْزَلُ مِنْ عَنْكَبُوتٍ, from the act of spinning, (Meyd,) or from the act of weaving [the web], (O.) is a prov. [meaning More practised, or skilled, in weaving than a spider]: and so مِنْ سُرْفَةٍ [than a سُرْفَة, q. v.]. (Meyd.) b2: And one says also, أَغْزَلُ مِنِ امْرِئِ القَيْسِ, (S, Meyd, O,) likewise a prov., meaning [More practised, or skilled,] in the celebrating of the person and qualities of the beloved in verse [than Imra-el-Keys]. (Meyd.) b3: And [hence,] أَغْزَلُ مِنَ الحُمَّى (assumed tropical:) [More frequent in visiting, or more habitual, and more recurrent, than the fever]; a saying of the Arabs, by which they mean that it [the fever] is a frequent visiter of the sick person, recurrent to him; as though passionately loving him: thus, correctly, as in the L: in the K it is said that الأَغْزَلُ applied to the fever (الحُمَّى [though this is fem.]) means such as is a frequent visiter of the sick person; recurrent. (TA.) b4: And أَغْزَلُ مِنْ فُرْعُلٍ [More confounded and perplexed than a young one of the hyena]; from الغَزَلُ as signifying “ the being confounded and perplexed ” like as is the dog (Meyd, O, K) when pursuing the young gazelle; for it may be that the فرعل becomes in the like state in pursuing the object of its chase: (Meyd:) or فرعل was a man of ancient times, and this saying (which is a prov., Meyd) is like أَغْزَلُ مِنِ امْرِئِ القَيْسِ.

(K.) مِغْزَلٌ and ↓ مُغْزَلٌ (Fr, Th, S, O, Msb, K) and ↓ مَغْزَلٌ, (Th, O, K,) the first as pronounced by [the tribe of] Temeem, the second as pronounced by [that of] Keys, and the last the most rare, (TA,) or the second as pronounced by Temeem, (Msb,) A spindle; i. e. the thing with which one spins: (S, MA, O, Msb, K. KL:) Fr says that ↓ مُغْزَلٌ is the original form, from أُغْزِلَ “ it was made to turn round ” or “ revolve ” [or “ was twirled ”]; (S, TA;) but the dammeh was deemed by the Arabs difficult of pronunciation, and therefore they said مِغْزَلٌ, and in like manner مِصْحَفٌ and مِخْدَعٌ and مِجْسَدٌ and مِطْرَفٌ: accord. to IAth, مِغْزَلٌ signifies the instrument [with which one spins]; and ↓ مَغْزَلٌ, the place of the غَزْل [which means the act of spinning and the span thread or yard]; and ↓ مُغْزَلٌ, the place in which (فِيهِ [or this may here mean upon which]) the غَزْل [i. e. spun thread or yarn] is put: (TA:) pl. مَغَازِلُ. (MA.) أَعْرى مِنْ مِغْزَلٍ is a prov. [meaning More naked than a spindle]. (Meyd.) And one says, صَاحِبُ الغَزَلِ أَضَلُّ مِنْ سَاقِ مِغْزَلٍ

[The practiser of the talk and actions &c. usual between the lover and the object of love is more erring than the shank (i. e. pin) of a spindle), of which the error is its [aiding in] clothing mankind while it is [itself] naked. (A, TA.) b2: It is said in a book of certain of the Jews, عَلَيْكُمْ كَذَا وَكَذَا وَرُبْعُ المِغْزَلِ, meaning [I pon you lie as due from you such and such things and) the fourth part of what your women have spun. (TA.) b3: And [the pl.] مَغَازِلُ signifies The عَمَد (O) or عُمُد (K) [app. meaning the upright wooden supports of the seat] of the [machine called] نَوْرَج [q. v.] with which the reaped grain heaped together is thrashed.

(MA.) مُغَيْزِلٌ A slender cord (حَبْلٌ دَقِيقٌ) [so in copies of the K, and in the CK, but in the latter المُغْتَزَلُ is put for المُغَيْزِلُ: in my MS. copy of the K, المُغَيْزِلُ جَبَلٌ دَقِيقٌ, and this I think to be the correct reading. meaning El-Mugheyzil is a certain slender mountain]: ISd says, I think it to be likened to the مِغْزَل, because of its slenderness; adding that El-Hirmázee has mentioned it. (TA. [A verse cited by El-Hirmázee is there given as an ex.; mentioning the day of المُغَيْزِل, app. as the day of the separation of a lover from his beloved; and it is a common custom of the Arabs to call the day of an event the day of the place where it occurred.]) مَغَازِلِىٌّ: see مِغْزَلِىٌّ.

(TA.) b2: He pushed, impelled, or repelled, him or it, (S, K, TA,) meaning anything; as also لَمَزَهُ &c. (TA.) You say, هَمَزَتْهُ إِلَيْهِ الحَاجَةُ Want impelled, or drove, him to him or it.

A3: (tropical:) He blamed, upbraided, or reproached, him; he found fault with him; syn. of the inf. n. عَيْبٌ, (Fr, in TA, art. لمز; and IAar, in TA, in the present art.) as also لَمْزٌ: (Fr, in TA, art. لمز; and S,) or he spoke evil of him, or spoke of him in a manner that he disliked, mentioning vices or faults as chargeable to him, behind his back, though it might be with truth; syn. إِغْتَابَهُ فِى

غَيْبَتِهِ: (Msb:) and [so] هَمَزَهُ فِى قَفَاهُ he backbit him. (JK, A.)

The first of these significations is indicated, or implied, in the JK and the TA.] b2: انهمز الحَرْفُ [The word was pronounced with the sound termed هَمْز, or هَمْزَة]. (S.) هَمْزُ الشَّيْطَانِ was explained by Mohammad as meaning (tropical:) Madness, or insanity; syn. مُوتَةٌ, i. e. جُنُونٌ; because it arises from the goading and pressing or pinching of the devil.

A2: هَمْزٌ, (S,) and هَمْزَةٌ, (Kh, TA,) [the former a gen. n., and the latter the n. un.,] The sister of alif; one of the letters of the alphabet; [written thus;] a genuine word, old, heard [from the Arabs of classical times], and well known; so called for a reason mentioned above: see 1, last signification: so says Kh; therefore no regard is due to what is said in certain of the expositions of the Keshsháf, that the term همزة thus used has not been heard [from any of the Arabs of classical times], and that its name is أَلْفٌ: (TA:) several persons say, that the term همزة is mostly applied to the movent [alif], and الف to the quiscent letter.

(Msb.) The slave in this case is called مُكَاتَبٌ (S, Msb) and also مُكَاتِبٌ; and so is the master; the act being mutual. (Msb.) [But the lawyers in the present day call the slave مُكَاتَبٌ only; and the master, مُكَاتِبٌ.] الكِتَابَةُ, signifying “ what is written, ” is tropically used by the professors of practical law as syn. with المُكَاتَبَةُ, because the contract above mentioned was generally written; and is so used by them when nothing is written. It was thus called in the age of el-Islám, accord. to Az. These two words are said by Z to be syn.; but it is thought that he may have written the former by mistake for الكِتَابُ, adding the ة by a slip of the pen. (Msb.) 4 اكتب He dictated. (S, K.)
