1 مَعِزَ الشَّىْءُ, [and مَعِزَتِ الأَرْضُ, accord. to the explanation of the inf. n. in the S,] aor. ـَ (TK,) inf. n. مَعَزٌ, (S, K, TK,) The thing [and the ground] was, or became, hard. (S, * K, * TK.) A2: مَعِزَ said of a man: see 4.

A3: مَعَزْتُ المِعْزَى, وَضَأَنْتُ الضَّأْنَ, aor. ـَ I set apart the goats from the sheep.

(TK.) مَعْزٌ, and ↓ مَعَزٌ, (S, A, Msb, K,) gen. ns., (S, Msb,) [or rather quasi-pl. ns., signifying Goats;] the kind of غَنَم opposed to ضَأْنٌ; (S, A, K;) the kind of عَنَم that have hair; (Msb, TA;) the ضأْن being those that have wool; (TA;) as also ↓ مِعْزًى, (S, Msb, K,) accord. to Sb, (S,) with tenween, (S, Msb,) when indeterminate, (Msb,) and perfectly decl., (S,) the ا [which is written ى] being a letter of quasicoördination, not a characteristic of the fem. gender, (S, Msb,) for the word is quasi-coördinate to دِرْهَمٌ, of the measure فِعْلَلٌ; for the ا of quasi-coördination follows the same rules as a letter belonging to the word itself, as is shown by their saying ↓ مُعَيْزٍ and أُرَيْطٍ [originally مُعَيْزِىٌ and أُرَيْطِىٌ] as the dim. forms of مِعْزًى and أَرْطًى with tenween, the letter next after the ى of diminution being with kesr, like as they say دُرَيْهِمٌ; for if the ا were to denote the fem. gender they would not change it into ى [in مُعَيْزِىٌ, the original form of مُعَيْزٍ,] like as they do not change it in the dims. of حُبْلَى and أَخْرَى

[which are حُبَيْلَى and أُخَيْزَى]: (S:) it is sometimes made fem., [by being written or pronounced مِعْزَاةٌ,] and sometimes it is made imperfectly decl.

[of pauc.] of مَعْزٌ, like as أَعْبُدٌ is of عَبْدٌ: (Msb:) the pl. of ↓ مَاعِزٌ, (K,) or of مَاعِزَةٌ, (S,) is مَوَاعِزُ; (S, K;) and ↓ مِعَازٌ and ↓ أُمْعُوزٌ are said to be quasi-pl. ns. (TA.) The goats of the Arabs of the desert have short hair, not long enough to be spun; but the goats of the cold countries, and of the people of the fertile regions, have abundant hair, and of this the Akrád [or Kurds] fabricate their tents.

&c.: its part. n. is mentioned in the first paragraph of art. ربض.]

ظَبْىٌ A certain animal, (TA,) well known; (S, Msb, K, TA;) the غَزَال [or gazelle; to which the former word is applied when used unrestrictedly, and which is app. here meant by the latter word, though this seems properly to signify “ a young gazelle ”]; (M;) [it is the gazella dorcas, also called antilope dorcas, of which the ariel, or antilope Arabica, is said to be a variety; or, accord. to some, each is a distinct species of gazelle: the name seems to be properly, but not always (as is shown by an explanation of رِئْمٌ), applied only to the true antelope of Arabia and adjacent countries, as distinguished from the cervine and bovine antelopes:] it is a name for the male; which is also called تَيْسٌ, when he has become what is termed a ثَنِىّ [q. v.], which he continues to be termed until he dies: (AHát, Msb, TA:) the female is called ظَبْيَةٌ, (AHát, T, M, Msb, K, TA,) and عَنْزٌ and مَاعِزَةٌ: (AHát, Msb, TA:) the dual is ظَبْيَانِ: (Msb, TA:) and the pl. is أَظْبٍ, (S, M, Msb, K,) originally أَظْبُىٌ, (S, Msb,) a pl. of pauc., (S,) and ظُبِىٌّ and ظِبَآءُ, (S, M, Msb, K,) which last is of the masc. and fem., (M, Msb,) and ظَبَيَاتٌ, (S, M, Msb, K,) which is of the fem. (M, Msb.) One says, بِهِ دَآءُ ظَبْىٍ [lit. In him is the disease of a gazelle]; meaning in him is no disease; as there is [said to be] no disease in the ظبى. (AA, T.) And لَكَ عِنْدِى مِائَةٌ سِنَّ الظَّبْىِ [To thee I owe a hundred camels of the age of the gazelle], i. e., all of them ثُنْيَان [pl. of ثَنِىٌّ, q. v.], because the ظبى does not exceed what is termed إِثْنَآءٌ. (M.) [See also a verse cited voce سِنٌّ; in which the phrase فَجَآءَتْ كَسِنِّ الظَّبْىِ means And they came; like the age of the gazelle was the age of every one of them.] It is said in a prov., ↓ لَأَتْرُكَنَّهُ تَرْكَ ظُبَىٍّ

ظِلَّهُ [I will assuredly forsake him as a little gazelle forsakes the place of its shade]; because the ظبى, when it leaves its covert, does not return to it: it is said in confirming the relinquishing of anything. (T. [See ظِلٌّ, where other relations of this prov. are mentioned.]) And in another prov., الظِّبَآءَ عَلَى البَقَرِ, said when the tie of relationship and friendship between two men is severed, and it was used in the Time of Ignorance as a form of divorce: الظباء is in the accus. case by reason of اِخْتَرْتُ, or اِخْتَارَ, understood, [so that the meaning is I have preferred, or he has preferred, the gazelles to the wild cows,] by the بقر being meant the women: whence the saying, جَآءَ يَجُرُّ بَقَرَهُ [expl. in art. بقر]. (Meyd. [See also Freytag's Arab. Prov. ii. 61.]) And one says, أَتَيْتُهُ حِينَ شَدَّ الظَّبْىَ ظِلُّهُ i. e. [I came to him when its shade] confined the ظبى [or gazelle] by reason of the vehemence of the heat: or, as some relate it, حِينْ نَشَدَ الظَّبْىُ ظِلَّهُ, meaning طَلَبَهُ [i. e., when the gazelle sought its shade]. (TA.) And it is said in a trad., إِذَا أَتَيْتَهُمْ فَارْبِضْ فِى دَارِهِمْ ظَبْيًا [expl. voce رَبَضَ]. (T, TA.) بِهِ لَا بِظَبْىٍ, (S, TA,) or بِهِ لَا بِظَبْىٍ أَعْفَرَ, a prov., meaning May this accident befall him, (لِيَنْزِلْ بِهِ هٰذِهِ الحَادِثَةُ,) not a white antelope, (Meyd,) is said on an occasion of rejoicing at another's affliction, (S, Meyd, TA,) by way of imprecation, i. e. may God make that which has befallen him to cleave to him. (S, TA. [See also Freytag's Arab. Prov. i. 148.]) b2: [الظِّبَآءُ and أَوْلَادُ الظِّبَآءِ are mentioned by Freytag as names of Certain stars: in relation to the former of which he refers to Ideler's

“ Unters. ” pp. 20-21; and in relation to the latter, to the same work p. 21.] b3: And الظَّبْىُ is the name of A brand, or mark made with a hot iron, peculiar to some of the Arabs.

(K, TA: but not in the CK.) b4: And accord. to the K, i. q. شَاةٌ: and بَقَرَةٌ: but this is a great mistake, caused by a misunderstanding of what is cited in the passage here next following from the M. (TA.) b5: Also The vulva of a woman: (Lth, T, S, M, K:) and, (M,) accord. to As, (T, S,) of any solid-hoofed beast: (T, S, M:) accord. to some, (M,) or accord. to Fr, (T, S,) of the bitch: (T, S, M:) and accord. to Lth, of the she-camel: (T:) IAar makes it to be peculiarly of the she-ass, and of the ewe or she-goat, and of the cow; (M;) meaning that it signifies the vulva of these: (TA:) and it signifies also the vagina of the mare. (M.) b6: Also 1 [bag for travellingprovisions &c., such as is called] جِرَاب: (M, K:) or peculiarly a small جِرَاب: (M, K: *) or one made of the skin of the ظَبْى [or gazelle]: (M:) or a thing [i. e. a pouch] like the خَرِيطَة and the كِيس: dim. ↓ ظُبَيَّةٌ: and pl. ظِبَآءٌ. (T.) b7: and A [tent such as is called] خِبَآء. (TA.) b8: and A place of bending, or turning, of a valley; (M, K;) as also ظُبَةٌ [mentioned in art. ظبو]: pl. of the former ظِبَآءٌ. (M.) A2: ظَبْيَةُ is one of the names of The well Zemzem. (TA.) ظُبَىٌّ: see ظَبْىٌ [of which it is the dim.].
