(T, TA.) A poet says, (S,) namely, Tufeyl El-Ghanawee, (TA,) فَأَبَّلَ وَاسْتَرْخَى بِهِ الخَطْبُ بَعْدَمَا

أَسَافَ وَلَوْلَا سَعْيُنَا لَمْ يُؤَبِّلِ meaning (tropical:) [And he acquired camels, or numerous camels, and] his state, or condition, became good [after his cattle had perished; and had it not been for our labour, or exertion, he would not have acquired camels, or numerous camels]: (S, TA:) or the phrase استرخى به الخطب means أَرْخَاهُ خَطْبُهُ [explained above: see 4].

And فَرَسٌ رِخْوُ العِنَانِ A horse that is easy to be led, or tractable. (A, TA.) The phrase فَهِىَ رِخْوٌ is used in a verse of Aboo-Dhu-eyb instead of فهى رِخْوَةٌ because meaning فَهِىَ شَىْءٌ رِخْوٌ. (S.) b3: الحُرُوفُ الرِّخْوَةُ [which may be rendered The lax letters] is said in the K, by an anticipation of the pen, to be applied to the letters exclusive of those comprised in the phrase لَمْ يُرْعُونَا [for which some say لَمْ يَرْوِ عَنَّا]: Sgh says [correctly] that they are the letters exclusive of those termed الشَّدِيدَةُ and of those in the phrase لم يرعونا: as is said in the M, they are thirteen; namely, ث,ح,خ,ذ,ز,س,ش,ص,ض,ظ,غ,ف, and ه; [to which De Sacy adds, in his Grammar, (2nd ed. i. 29,) ا without ء, and و and ى, which are generally included in an intermediate class between the شديدة and the رخوة, namely, in the class consisting of the letters in the phrase لم يرعونا or لم يرو عنّا:] the letter termed رِخْوٌ is that in which the sound runs on, as it does, for instance, in the س and ش when you say المَسّ and الرَّشّ. (TA.) رُخْوَةٌ: see what next follows.

رِخْوَةٌ an inf. n. of 1: (M, K:) i. q. اِسْتِرْخَآءٌ [i. e. Softness, yieldingness, flaccidity, &c.: see 1, first sentence]; as also ↓ رُخْوَةٌ: you say, فِيهِ رِخْوَةٌ and رُخْوَةٌ [In him, or it, is softness, &c.]. (K.) b2: See also what next follows.

رَخَآءٌ [said by some to be an inf. n. of 1] Ampleness, or freedom from straitness, of the means, or circumstances, of life; (JK, S, Msb, K;) [and so رَخَآءُ البَالِ;] as also ↓ رِخْوَةٌ. (JK.) رَخَآءُ النَّفْسِ (assumed tropical:) [An easy, or unstraitened, state of mind]. (S in art. بول.) رُخَآءٌ A soft, or gentle, wind: (S, K:) or a soft, or gentle, and quick, wind: (JK:) or a soft, or gentle, wind, that does not move anything. (Har p. 38.) It has the first of these meanings in the Kur xxxviii. 35: (Bd, Jel:) or it there means A wind that does not oppose, or contravene, the will of God. (Bd.) رَخِىٌّ (Msb, K) and ↓ رَاخٍ, (K,) applied to life (عَيْش, Msb, K), (assumed tropical:) Ample, unstraitened, or plentiful, in its means, or circumstances: (Msb, K:) or both applied to a man, (assumed tropical:) in an ample, an unstraitened, or a plentiful, state of life. (TK.) You say, إِنَّهُ لَفِى عَيْشٍ رَخِىٍّ (assumed tropical:) [Verily he is in an ample, an unstraitened, or a plentiful, state of life]. (TA.) And هُوَ رَخِىُّ البَالِ (JK, S, Msb, TA) and البَالِ ↓ رَاخِى (JK) (assumed tropical:) He is in an ample, or unstraitened, (S,) or an easy, or a pleasant, and a plentiful, state, or condition. (JK, S, * Msb, TA. * [See also other explanations in art. بول.]) And إِنَّ ذٰلِكَ الأَمْرُ لَيَذْهَبُ مِنِّى فِى بَالٍ

رَخِىٍ [Verily that affair passes away from me, I being in an easy state of mind,] is said when you are not disquieted, rendered anxious, or grieved, by the affair. (TA.) رَاخٍ, and رَاخِى: see the next preceding paragraph.

أَرْخَى [as meaning More relaxing or slackening or loosening] is used in a verse of Hassán Ibn-Thábit for the regular expression أَشَدُّ إِرْخَآءً: it is like مَا أَحْوَجَهُ meaning مَا أَشَدَّ حَاجَتَهُ. (El-Hareeree's “ Durrat el-Ghowwás,” in De Sacy's

“ Anthol. Gramm. Ar,” p. 52 of the Ar. text.) أُرْخِيَّةٌ A thing, or part of a thing, (as, for instance, a veil, or curtain, TK,) that one has let loose, let down, or lowered. (S, K.) مِرْخَآءٌ, applied to a beast, (دَابَّة, K,) or a horse or mare, (فَرَس, S,) and a she-camel, (TA,) and a she-ass, (S,) That runs in the manner termed إِرْخَآء: (K: [see 4, in the latter part of the paragraph:]) or that runs much in that manner: (S:) pl. مَرَاخِىُّ. (S, TA.) مُتَرَاخٍ [part. n. of 6, q. v.]. b2: You say جَآءَ زَيْدٌ مُتَرَاخِيًا زَمَانُهُ عَنْ زَمَانِ مَجِىْءِ عَمْرٍو [Zeyd came, his time of coming being after, or later than, the time of the coming of 'Amr]; i. e. جَآءَ بَعْدَ عَمْرٍو. (Msb in art. بعد.) مُسْتَرْخٍ; fem. مُسْتَرْخَيَةٌ: see رِخْوٌ, first sentence.

(Msb.) In like manner also you say, عَزَّ عَلَىَّ كَذَا Such a thing distressed, or afflicted, me. (S.) And عَزَّ عَلَىَّ أَنْ

أَسُوْءَكَ It distressed, or afflicted, me to displease thee. (A.) And عَزَّ مَا أَنَّكَ ذَاهِبٌ, like حَقَّ أَنَّكَ ذَاهِبٌ [or حَقَّ مَا انّك ذاهب, meaning It is distressing that thou art going away]. (TA.) And one says to a man, Dost thou love me? and he replies, لَعَزَّ مَا, i. e., لَشَدَّ مَا, (A, O, K,) and لَحَقَّ مَا, (A, TA,) meaning It distresses me, what thou sayest; or it has distressed me. (TK.) You say also, بِمَا أَصَابَكَ ↓ أُعْزِزْتُ I was, or am, distressed by what befell, or hath befallen, thee. (S, O, K.) And عَلَىَّ بِمَا أُصِبْتَ بِهِ ↓ أَعْزِزْ That by which thou hast been afflicted distresses me: (S, O:) [or how doth it distress me!] so in a trad. of 'Alee; when he beheld Talhah slain, he said, عَلَىَّ ↓ أَعْزِزْ

أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ أَنْ أَرَاكَ مُجَدَّلًا تَحْتَ نُجُومِ السَّمَآءِ [It distresses me, or how doth it distress me! O Aboo-Mohammad, that I see thee prostrated upon the ground beneath the stars of heaven]. (TA.) [A similar ex. is given in the A; without بِ prefixed to أَنْ.]

A2: عَزَّ also signifies He was, or became, weak: thus having two contr. meanings. (Msb.) A3: عَزَّهُ, aor. ـُ (S, A, O, K,) inf. n. عَزٌّ, (S, O, TA,) He overcame him, or conquered him: (S, A, O:) he overcame him in argumentative contest; (K, * TA;) as also ↓ عَزْعَزَهُ, (K,) inf. n. عَزْعَزَةٌ; (TA;) and so عَزَّهُ فِى الخِطَابِ: (Jel in xxxviii.

22, some read عَزَّنِى; and others, ↓ عَازَّنِى: and you say, فَعَزَزْتُهُ ↓ عَازَّنِى, meaning, he strove with me to overcome, and I overcame him: and مُعَازَّةٌ signifies the contending together in argument: (TA:) you say also of a horse, فَارِسَهُ ↓ اعتزّ [he overcame his rider, or gained the mastery over him]. (S and K in art. جمع.) It is said in a prov., (S,) مَنْ عَزَّ بَزَّ He who overcomes takes the spoil. (S, A, O, K.) And in another prov., (S,) إِذَا عَزَّ أَخُوكَ فَهُنْ (Th, S, O, K) When thy brother overcomes thee, and thou art not equal to him (لَمْ تُقَاومْهُ) be thou gentle to him: (Az, O, K, TA:) or when thy brother magnifies and exalts himself against thee, abase thyself: (Th, TA:) or, accord. to Aboo-Is-hák, what Th says is a mistake; the right reading being فَهِنْ, with kesr, and the meaning, when thy brother is hard, or severe, to thee, treat thou him with gentleness, or blandishment; not فَهُنْ, with damm, which is from الهَوَانُ: but ISd approves and justifies the reading given by Th. (TA.) [See also 10.]

A4: عَزَّهُ. aor. ـُ inf. n. عَزٌّ, also signifies the same as عَزَّزَهُ (Msb, TA *) and أَعَزَّهُ, (TA,) in a sense pointed out below: see 2, in two places.

(O, K.) b2: And عَزَّتِ القَرْحَةُ, (O, K,) aor. ـِ (O,) The قرحة, [i. e. wound, or pustule,] discharged what was in it. (O, K.)

(S, K, TA.) In the Kur [xxxvi. 13], some read, فَعَزَّزْنَا بِثَالِثٍ; (S, TA;) and others, بثالث ↓ فَعَزَزْنَا; meaning And then we strengthened [them] by a third. (S, O, TA.) [See also an explanation of a verse cited voce عَزَآءٌ in art. عزى.]

b2: عزّز المُطَرُ الأَرْضَ, (S, O, K,) and عزّز مِنْهَا, (O, K,) inf. n. تَعْزِيزٌ, (K,) The rain made the earth compact, or coherent, (S, O, K, TA,) and hard, so that the feet did not sink into it. (TA.) b3: عزّز بِهِمْ, (inf. n. as above, TA,) He treated them with hardness, severity, or rigour; not with indulgence. (A, TA.) 3 عازّهُ, inf. n. مُعَازَّةٌ: see عَزَّهُ, in three places.4 اعزّهُ: see 2, in two places. b2: Also He loved him: (Az, O, K:) but Sh reckons this weak. (O.) A2: أُعْزِزْتُ: and the verb of wonder أَعْزِزْ: see عَزَّ, in three places.

A3: اعزّت said of camel and of a ewe: see 1, last sentence. b2: Also She (a cow) had difficult gestation, (S, O, K,) or, accord. to IKtt, bad gestation. (TA.) b3: and She (a goat, and a ewe,) manifested her pregnancy, and became large in her udder: (Az, O, K:) or, as some say, i. q. أَضْرَعَتْ [q. v.]. (O.) A4: and اعزّ He became, (S, O, K,) and journeyed, (TA,) in ground such as is termed عَزَاز [q. v.]. (S, O, K, TA.) 5 تعزّز: see 1, first quarter, in four places. [It is sometimes changed to تعزّى.] It is said in a trad., مَنْ لَمْ يَتَعَزَّ بِعِزِّ اللّٰهِ فَلَيْسَ مِنَّا [Such as does not strengthen himself by the strength of God, he is not of us]; expl. by Th as meaning he who does not refer his affair to God is not of us.

Verily the one of mankind whose richness is most pleasing to me art thou; and the one of them whose poverty is most distressing to me art thou. (Mgh.) The fem. of أَعَزُّ [as a noun of excess] is ↓ عُزَّى: (S, ISd, O, K;) like as فُضْلَى is of أَفْضَلُ. (ISd.) [But see what follows.] b2: ↓ العُزَّى

was the name of A certain idol, (S, O, K,) belonging to Kureysh and Benoo-Kináneh: (S, O, TA:) or a certain gum-acacia-tree, (سَمُرَةٌ,) which the tribe of Ghatafán (S, O, K) the son of Saad the son of Keys-'Eilán (TA) used to worship; (S, O, K;) the first who took it as an object of worship was Dhálim the son of As' ad; above Dhát-'Irk, nine miles towards El-Bustán, (O, K, TA,) at [the valley called] En-Nakhleh Esh-Shámeeyeh, (O, TA,) near Mekkeh; or, as some say, at Et-Táïf: (TA:) he, (K,) Dhálim, (O,) or they, (S,) built over it a house, (S, O, K) and named it بُسّ, (O, K,) accord. to Ibn-El-Kelbee; or, accord. to others, بُسَّآء; (TA;) and they appointed to it ministers, (S, TA,) like those of the Kaabeh; (TA;) and they used to hear in it a voice: (O, K, TA:) but Mohammad sent to it Khálid Ibn-El-Weleed, (S, O, K,) in the year of the conquest [of Mekkeh], (O, TA,) and he demolished the house, (S, K,) and slew the [chief] minister, (TA,) and burned the gum-acacia-tree: (S, O, K:) or, as is related on the authority of I'Ab, a certain she-devil, who used to come to three gumacacia-trees (سَمُرَات) in Batn-Nakhleh, against whom Mohammad, when he conquered Mekkeh, sent Khálid Ibn-El-Weleed; and he cut down the trees, and slew her and her minister.

(S.) ISd says, I hold ↓ العُزَّى to be fem. of الأَعَزُّ; and if so, the ال in the former is not redundant, but is like the ال in الحَارِثُ and العَبَّاسُ: but properly it should be redundant, because we have not heard العُزَّى as an epithet [of excess] like as we have heard الصُّغْرَى and الكُبْرَى. (L, TA.) b3: ↓ عُزَّى is [however] used in the sense of عَزِيزَةٌ: (K, TA:) and أَعَزُّ [fem. عَزَّآءُ] is also syn. with عَزِيزٌ, which see in four places.

(TS.) This is done to cure the scab, for the removal of which it is very efficacious. (TA.) كِبْرِيتٌ [Brimstone, or sulphur;] a thing well known; (S, art. كبر;) one of the kinds of stone with which fire is kindled, or it (red كبريت TA) is a mineral whereof the mine is beyond EtTubbat, [or the country of Et-Tibbet, in Tartary,] in the Valley of the Ants, (K,) by which Solomon passed, (TA,) [as related in the Kur, xxvii. 18]: or [the product of] a spring, or source, whereof the water, when it congeals, becomes white, and yellow, and dusky-coloured, كبريت: (Lth, in the T:) MF says, I have seen it in several places; among these, in one which is near El-Maláleeh, between Fás and Miknáseh; by swimming in which, persons are cured of the venereal disease, and other disorders: also in Africa Proper, in the midst of Barkah, in a place called البرج; and in other places: (TA:) Aristotle says, that, among the different kinds of كبريت are the red, of an excellent colour; and the white, which resembles dust; and the yellow: the source of the red is in the West: it does not appear in its place: the yellow is found near the ocean, a league (or leagues, as in the TA,) from it: it is useful in cases of epilepsy, and apoplexy, and megrim, and palpitation: and it enters into the preparations of gold: the white blackens white substances; and it is sometimes mixed and concealed in the sources of running water, which sources have a fetid odour: the person who plunges into these waters in times when the air is temperate is cured by them of wounds, and swellings, and scab, and wind in the womb, and [the leprosy called] سَلَع, that arises from black bile: Ibn-Seenà [Avicenna] also says, that كبريت, untouched by fire, is one of the remedies for the leprosy (بَرَص): that, mixed with the gum of the turpentine-tree, it removes marks on the nails: that, mixed with vinegar, it removes the [leprous-like discolouration of the skin called]

بَهَق, and the ringworm, or tetter, (قُوَبَاء,) especially with the gum of the turpentine-tree: that, with natron and water, it is an embrocation for the بَرَص [or, as in the TA, for the نِقْرِس, or gout): and that fumigation therewith stops a rheum: and others say, that, if yellow كبريت be powdered, and sprinkled upon a place affected with سلعة, it has a good effect: that fumigation therewith whitens the hair: that serpents and fleas flee from the scent of it, especially if [mixed] with an unguent, or with the hoof of an ass; and that the fumigation therewith beneath a citrontree of the kind called أُتْرُجّ causes all the fruits of it to fall. (El-Kazweenee.) Several authors say, that the ت in كبريت is an augmentative letter, and that the proper place of the word is in art. كبر. IDrd thinks it to be not genuine Arabic. (TA.) [Golius thinks it to be from the Persian كُوكُرْدْ (or كُوكُرْدْ): or rather, he adds, from the Hebrew נּפְּרִיח Gen. xix. 24.] b2: أَعَزُّمِنَ الكِبْرِيتِ الأَحْمَرِ [More rare than red brimstone, or sulphur]. A proverb. Some say, that كبريت احمر [meaning as above] is a thing that does not exist: others, that by it is meant gold. (Meyd.) This phrase is similar to أَعَزُّ مِنْ بَيْضِ الأَنُوقِ. (S, art. كبر.) b3: كِبْرِيتٌ also signifies gold: (K:) [see above:] or red gold: or red [as an epithet applied to gold]: (TA:) or pure, as an epithet applied to gold. (S, art. كبر.) Ru-beh says, هَلْ يَنْفَعَنِّى كَذِبٌ سِخْتِيتُ أَوْ فِضَّةٌ أَوْ ذَهَبٌ كِبْرِيتُ [Will vehement lying profit me, or silver, or pure gold?] (S, art. كبر.) IAar says, Ru-beh imagined that كبريت meant gold: upon which MF observes, that the ancient Arabs erred with respect to meanings, though not with respect to words. The latter author, however, supposes كبريت to be fig. used as signifying gold; for they use the expression الكبريت الاحمر [as applied to gold] because gold is [said to be] prepared therefrom, and it is used in alchymical processes. (TA.) b4: كِبْرِيتٌ also signifies The red jacinth, or ruby; syn. يَاقُوتٌ أَحْمَرُ. (K.)
