إِلَى الْكَعْبَيْنِ: here أَرْجُلَكُمْ is in the acc. case as an adjunct to ايديكم; [i.e., as a third objective complement to the verb اغسلوا; not as an adjunct to رؤوسكم;] but some read أَرْجُلِكُمْ, putting it in the gen. case because of its proximity to رؤوسكم; (Jel;) [in like manner as خَرِبٍ is put in the gen. case in the phrase هٰذَا جُحْرُ ضَبٍّ خَرِبٍ, an ex. given by many of the grammarians, showing that this is allowable in prose,] notwithstanding that it is said, by Aboo-Is-hák the grammarian, that the putting a noun in the gen. case because of its proximity to a preceding noun in that case is not allowable except in poetry, when necessity requires it: (L:) the head, which is wiped, is mentioned between the arms and the feet, which are washed, to show the order which is to be observed in the purification. (Jel.)

Ar., p. 67 of the Ar. text.) b2: مَا added to certain adverbial nouns is not merely redundant, but gives to them a conditional and general signification; as in أَيْنَمَا Wherever; and حَيْثُمَا Wherever, and whenever; &c.: see Kur, ii. 143, 145, &c.: and see De Sacy's Gram., i. 537 and 538. b3: مَا While; as in مَا دُمْتُ حَيًّا: and as much as; see Kur, lxiv. 16. b4: بِمَا Because بِمَا كَانُوا يَفْسُقُونَ Because they did transgress; or for that they did transgress. (Kur.) b5: إِنَّكَ مَا وَخَيْرًا, for مَعَ خَيْرٍ. See خَيْرٌ. b6: مَا is also added to a noun to denote the littleness of that which is signified by the noun; as in أَرَبٌ مَّا Some little want.

(Har, p. 155.) مَا رَبُّ العَالَمِينَ, in the Kur, xxvi. 22, means أَىٌّ شَىْءٍ هُوَ. (Jel.) See also an ex. voce فَىّ. b10: مَا لَكَ signifies أَىُّ شَىْءٍ ثَبَتَ لَكَ (IbrD) and may be rendered What aileth thee? b11: شَىْءٌ مَّا Some particular thing: something. (See إِيهِ.)

As long as: see an ex. voce كَاظَّ, and التُّرْكُ, and جَلَّ. b14: الشَّكْلُ إِلَى الطُّولِ مَا هُوَ The form inclines somewhat to length; agreeably with a rendering voce عُقْرٌ: see De Sacy's Gr., sec. ed., i. 543 and 539: see also شَىْءٌ مَّا above: in the Kur xxxviii. 23, ما is redundant, (Bd,) denoting vagueness and wonder, (Ksh, Bd,) or a corroborative of fewness: (Jel:) it means somewhat whether great or little in degree or importance.

A2: مَا, the negative particle, followed by a pret., often requires the latter to be rendered in English by the preterperfect: ex. مَا رَأَيْتُهُ مُذْ يَوْمَان I have not seen him for two days. See De Sacy's Anthol. Gram. Ar., p. 253.

أَنْكَبُ عَنِ الحَقِّ, and عَنْهُ ↓ نَاكِبٌ, (tropical:) A man deviating from the right course of action &c. (A.) b2: نَكْبَاءُ [fem. of أَنْكَبُ] an epithet applied to Any wind that blows obliquely, taking a direction between [the directions of] two [cardinal] winds: (TA:) a wind that blows obliquely, deviating from the direction whence blow the right (القُوَّم [or the cardinal]) winds: (S:) or a [particular] wind that blows obliquely, and takes a direction between [the directions of] two [cardinal] winds; (K;) which destroys the camels and sheep &c., and restrains the rain: (TA:) or a wind that blows in a direction between that of the east, or easterly, wind, (الصَّبَا,) and that of the north, or northerly, wind, (الشَّمَال): (Az, K:) that between the south, or southerly, and east, or easterly, winds, being called جِرْبِيَاءُ: (Az:) [but see this word, and see below:] or what are termed نُكْبُ الرِّيَاحِ [نُكْبٌ being pl. of نكباء] are four: (IAar, Th, S, K:) namely, first, the نكباءُ الصَّبَا وَالجَنُوبِ the wind that blows in a direction between that of the east, or easterly, and that of the south, or southerly, wind; also called الأَزْيَبُ; (S, K;) which is a very thirsty wind, that dries up much the leguminous plants; but Et-Tará- bulusee, in the Kf, and Mbr and IF, assert that the ازيب is the جنوب; not its نكباء: (TA:) second, the نكباءُ الصَّبَا وَالشَّمَالِ the wind that blows in a direction between that of the east, or easterly, and that of the north, or northerly, wind; also called الصَّابَيةُ, and called also ↓ النُّكَيْباَءُ, (S, K,) a diminutive meant to convey the opposite of a diminutive sense; for they find this wind to be very cold; (S;) it is very boisterous and very cold; unattended by rain or by any good: (TA:) third, the نكباءُ الشَّمَالِ وَالدَّبُورِ the wind that blows in a direction between that of the north, or northerly, and that of the west, or westerly, wind; also called الجِرْبِيَاءُ; and termed نَيِّحَةُ الأَزْيَبِ the opposite wind to the ازيب; (S, K;) a cold wind; (S;) and sometimes attended by a little rain; but Ibn-El-Ajdábee asserts that the جربياء is the شمال: (TA:) fourth, the نكباءُ الجَنُوبِ والدَّبُورِ the wind that blows in a direction between that of the south, or southerly, and that of the west, or westerly, wind; also called الهَيْفُ; (in the CK, الهَيَفُ;) and termed نَيِّحَةُ النُّكَيْباَءِ the opposite wind to the نكيباء; (S, K;) a hot wind (S) and very thirsty. (TA.) Accord. to Ibn-Kubás, the tract whence blows the نكباء [by which he means only the wind that blows from the north-east or thereabout] is that extending between the point where rises the ذِرَاع [or the asterism composed of the stars a and b of Gemini, E. 33 degrees N., in central Arabia; or a and b of Canis Minor, E. 7 degrees N., in the same latitude] and the pole-star: and the tract between the pole-star and the point where sets the ذراع is the tract whence blows the شمال.

Sh says, Each of the four [cardinal] winds has its نكباء, which is called in relation to it: that of the صبا is that which is between it and the شمال; [blowing from the north-east, or thereabout;] and it resembles it in gentleness; sometimes having sharpness, or vehemence; but this is seldom; only once in a long space of time: that of the شمال is that which is between it and the دبور; [blowing from the north-west, or thereabout;] and it resembles it in coldness: it is called الشمالُ الشَّامِيَّةُ: each of them is called by the Arabs شاميّة: that of the دبور is that which is between it and the جنوب; blowing from the point where sets سُهَيْل [or Canopus; i. e., S. 29 degrees W., in the latitude of central Arabia]; and it resembles it in its violence and boisterousness: and that of the جنوب is that which is between it and the صبا; [blowing from the south-east, or thereabout;] and it is the wind most resembling it in its softness and in its gentleness in winter. (L.) The pl. of نكباء is نُكْبٌ, as shown above. (S, K &c.) [See also تَبُّوعُ الشَّمْسِ, in art. تبع.] b3: دَبُورٌ نكب [app. ↓ نَكْبٌ, originally an inf. n., used as an epithet, and therefore applicable without ة to a fem noun] i. q. نَكْباَءُ; [app., The نكباء of the دبور, a southwesterly wind].

(S, TA.) b7: الدَّهْرُ أَنْكَبُ لَا يُلِبُّ (assumed tropical:) Fortune abounds with evil accidents, or disasters, or afflictions, or calamities; i. e. it deviates much, or often, from the right course: it will not remain in one state: or, accord. to one relation, الدهر انكث الخ.

(S, K.) مَنْكِبٌ (masc., Lh, K) The shoulder; i. e. the place of junction of the os humeri and the scapula, (S, K.) in a man &c; (ISd:) the place of junction of the os humeri and the scapula and the [tendon called] حَبْلُ العَاتِقِ, in a man and a bird and any other thing. (TA.) [It seems to be regarded by some as originally signifying “ a place of deflection: ” but] Sb denies its being a noun of place, because, were it so, it would be مَنْكَبٌ: he does not allow it to be included in the class of مَطْلِعٌ, because this is extr. Pl. مَنَاكِبُ. رَجُلٌ شَدِيدُ المَنَاكِبِ, signifies A man having a strong shoulder: as though the sing. were applied to denote each part of the joint, and the pl. to denote the whole. (TA.) b2: هَزُّوا مَنَاكِبَهُمْ (tropical:) [They shook their shoulderjoints;] i. e., they rejoiced, or were joyful, or happy. (TA.) b3: خِياَرُكُمْ أَلَيْنُكُمْ مَنَاكِبَ فِى

(S.) b7: المَنَاكِبٌ (tropical:) The feathers next after the قَوَادِم; [which latter are the anterior, or primary, feathers of a bird's wing;] (K;) the feathers of the wing of a vulture or an eagle that are next after the قوادم, which are the strongest and most excellent of the feathers; (TA:) four [feathers] in the wing of a bird, next after the قوادم (S.)
