(M, * TA [in the latter of which this is plainly said of both of the last two verbs; but in the M, it seems rather to be said of تنقّصه only.]) [See an ex. of the verb followed by من voce طَرَفٌ. You say also, نَقَصَ مِنْهُ كَذَا He cut off from it such a thing.]

b2: نَقَصَ is doubly trans.: (Msb:) you say نَقَصَهُ حَقَّهُ, (A, Mgh, Msb, TA,) inf. n. نَقْصٌ; (A, Mgh;) and in like manner, حَقَّهُ ↓ انتقصهُ; (M, A, * Mgh, * TA; *) He diminished, or impaired, to him his right, or due; endamaged him; or made him to suffer loss, or damage, or detriment, in respect of it; curtailed him, abridged him, deprived him, or defrauded him, of a portion of it; (Msb, * TA;) contr. of أَوْفَاهُ: (TA:) [and he abridged him, deprived him, or defrauded him, of it altogether; for نَقَصَهُ أَهْلَهُ وَمَالَهُ signifies sometimes He deprived him of his family and his property altogether: as appears from the following ex.:] نُقِصَ أَهْلَهُ وَمَالَهُ وَبَقِىَ فَرْدًا [He was deprived of his family and his property, and remained alone]. (T, art. وتر.) الحَقِّ ↓ اِنْتِقَاصُ also signifies The denying, or disacknowledging, the right, or due. (TA.) b3: See also 5.2 نَقَّصَ see نَقَصَهُ.4 أَنْقَصَ see نَقَصَهُ.5 تنقّص: see نَقَصَ.

A2: تنقّصهُ: see نَقَصَهُ. b2: He attributed to him defect, or imperfection; i. e. to a man; (M;) as also ↓ انتقصهُ, and ↓ استنقصهُ: (M, TA:) he attributed or imputed to him, charged him with, or accused him of, a vice, fault, or the like; detracted from his reputation; censured him; reproached him; spoke against him; impugned his character; (S, A, K;) as also ↓ انتقصهُ: (A:) [and نَقَصَهُ signifies the same; for] IKtt says, that ↓ نقص [app. نُقِصَ], inf. n. نَقِيصَةٌ, signifies طعن عليه [app. طُعِنَ عَلَيْهِ]. (TA.) 6 تَنَاْقَصَ see نَقَصَ, where two meanings are assigned to it.8 انتقص: see نَقَصَ.

A2: انتقصهُ: see نَقَصَهُ, in four places. b2: See also 5, in two places.10 استنقص الثَّمَنَ He (the buyer, S) asked, demanded, or desired, a diminution, a lessening, a lowering, or an abatement, of the price. (S, A, K.) b2: See also 5.

نَقْصٌ: see 1. b2: [Used as a subst., Loss, or loss of somewhat, decrease, a state of diminution or lessening or washing or waning, defect, defectiveness, deficiency, incompleteness, or imperfection, after wholeness or completeness, or perfectness; as also ↓ نُقْصَانٌ; and ↓ مَنْقَصَةٌ signifies the same as نَقْص] as here rendered, agreeably with the explanation (i. e. of منقصة) in the PS., which is كَمِىْ: or, accord. to the A, مَنْقَصَةٌ seems to be syn. with نَقِيصَةٌ in the sense assigned to this last in the S, or in certain senses assigned to it in the K, which see below; and thus to be more restricted in application than نَقْصٌ]. (S, TA.) b3: Weakness of intellect: (M, TA:) and weakness with respect to religion and intellect. (TA.) You say, دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ نَقْصٌ فِى دِينِهِ وَعَقْلِهِ [There came upon him a weakness in his religion and his intellect]: but one should not say ↓ نُقْصَانٌ [in this case]: (K:) app. because النَّقْص is “ weakness; ” whereas النُّقْصَانُ is only “ a going away [of part of a thing] after [its having been in] a state of completeness. ” (TA.) نُقْصَانٌ: see 1: b2: see also نَقْصٌ, in two places. b3: It also signifies The quantity that is gone, or lost, of a thing that is decreased or diminished or lessened. (Lth, A, K.) You say, نُقْصَانُهُ كَذَا وَكَذَا The quantity that is gone, or lost, of it is such and such. (TK.) نَقِيصَةٌ: see 1. b2: A defect, an imperfection, a fault, a vice, or the like; syn. عَيْبٌ: (S, TA:) or a low, or base, quality, property, natural disposition, practice, habit, or action; (K, TA;) of a man: (TA:) or a weak quality, &c.: (IDrd, K, TA:) but the attribution of weakness to a quality, &c., requires consideration: and it seems that what is meant by lowness, or baseness, is what leads to نَقْص: (TA:) [↓ مَنْقَصَةٌ, also, accord. to the A, seems to be syn. with نَقِيصَةٌ in one or another of the senses explained above; but its primary signification is probably a cause of نَقْص, like as that of مَبْخَلَةٌ is a cause of بُخْل, and that of مَجْبَنَةٌ a cause of جُبْن: the pl. of نَقِيصَةٌ is نَقَائِصُ: and that of مَنْقَصَةٌ is مَنَاقِصُ.] You say, مَا فِيهِ نَقِيصَةٌ and ↓ مَنْقَصَةٌ [There is not in him any defect, imperfection, fault, or vice, &c.]: and فُلَانٌ ذُو نَقَائِصَ and مَنَاقِصَ [Such a one has defects, &c.]. (A, TA.) A2: As a subst. from تَنَقَّصَهُ and اِنْتَقَصَهُ and اِسْتَنْقَصَهُ, [or, accord. to IKtt, as an inf. n. from نُقِص, and therefore from نَقَصَهُ also, (see 5,)] it signifies The attributing to a man defect, or imperfection: (M:) the attributing or imputing to men, charging them with, or accusing them of, vices, faults, or the like; censuring them; reproaching them; speaking against them; impugning their characters. (K.) A poet says, فَلَوْ غَيْرُ أَخْوَالِى أَرَادُوا نَقِيصَتِى

جَعَلْتُ لَهُمْ فَوْقَ العَرَانِينِ مِيسَمَا [But if others than my maternal uncles had desired to attribute to me defect, &c., I had set a brand upon them above the noses]. (M, TA.) نَاقِصٌ act. part. n. of 1. b2: دِرْهَمٌ نَاقِضٌ signifies A dirhem deficient in weight; (Msb;) light and deficient: and نُقَّصٌ occurs as pl. of ناقص thus applied, agreeably with analogy. (Mgh.) b3: [Hence, فِعْلٌ نَاقِصٌ meaning An incomplete, i. e. a non-attributive, verb: opposed to فِعْلٌ تَامٌّ.]

مَنْقَصَةٌ: pl. مَنَاقِصُ: see نَقِيصَةٌ, in four places: b2: and see also نَقْصٌ.

مَنْقُوصٌ pass. part. n. of نَقَصَهُ. (A, K.)

نبض

1 نَبَضَ, aor. ـِ inf. n. نَبْضٌ and نَبَضَانٌ (S, A, K) and نَبِيضٌ, (so in a copy of the S,) It (a vein, or an artery,) pulsed, or beat, (TA,) [or throbbed;] was, or became, in a state of motion, or agitation. (S, A, K.) b2: [Hence,] ما نَبَضَ لَهُ عِرْقُ عَصَبِيَّةٍ (tropical:) [No party-spirit, or zeal in the cause of his party, became roused, or excited, in him;] he did not aid his people, or party, against oppression; was not angry, or zealous, for them, and did not defend them. (A, TA.) b3: and ↓ نَبَضَ نَابِضُهُ (tropical:) His anger became roused, or excited. (A, TA.) b4: [Hence also,] نَبَضَتِ الأَمْعَآءُ, aor. as above, (in the L, written نَبُضَ, but this is doubtless a mistake,] (assumed tropical:) The bowels became in a state of commotion. (TA.) b5: And نَبَضَ البَرْقُ (assumed tropical:) The lightning flashed lightly, or slightly, (K, TA,) like the نَبْض of a vein or an artery. (TA.)

(A, TA. *) b2: انبض القَوْسَ, (T, S, M, A, Mgh,) like

أَنْضَبَهَا, (Lth, T, M,) but the former is the more approved; (Lth, 'Eyn;) and انبض عَنْهَا; (A, Mgh;) or انبض فِيهَا; (AHn, K;) and فيها ↓ نبّض, inf. n. تَنْبيضٌ; (AHn, TA;) in the K, فِيهَا ↓ نَبَضَ, which is a mistake; (TA;) [He twanged the bow;] he made the bow to give a sound: (AHn, K:) or he put the string of the bow in motion, [or made it to vibrate,] (A, K,) or pulled it, (T, S, M, Mgh,) and then let it go, (S, Mgh,) in order that it might twang, (S, K,) or produce a sound: (T, M, Mgh:) and انبض بِالْوَتَرِ (S, A, Mgh) signifies the same: (S, Mgh:) or he took the string of the bow with the ends of his two fingers, and then let it go so that it might fall against the handle of the bow: (JM:) and انبض الوَتَرَ he pulled the string of the bow without an arrow, and then let it go: (Yaakoob:) or he pulled the string of the bow, and then let it go so that he heard it give a sound. (Lh.) Hence the proverb, إِنْبَاضُ بِغَيْرِ تَوْتِيرِ, (S,) or مِنْ عَيْرِ تَوْتِيرٍ, (A,) [Twanging the bow without fastening, or binding, or bracing, the string; meaning (tropical:) threatening without the means of execution]: applied to him who pretends to that which he has not the means of performing. (A, TA.) [See also art. وتر.] And a poet says, ↓ لَأَرْمِيَنَّكَ رَمْيًا غَيْرَ تَنْبِيضِ [I will assuredly shoot thee with a shooting, not a mere twanging]: meaning, my pulling [of the bow] shall not be a threatening, but execution. (TA.) b3: You say also, أَنْبَضَ النَّدَّافُ مِنْبَضَتَهُ [The separater and loosener of cotton by means of the bow and mallet made his mallet to cause the string of the bow to vibrate]. (A, TA.) نَبْضٌ [an inf. n. used as a subst., signifying The pulse]. b2: Also, A pulsing vein, or artery: as in the saying جَسَّ الطَّبِيبُ نَبْضَهُ [The physician felt his pulsing vein, or artery: or his pulse]: but it is more chaste to say ↓ مَنْبِضَهُ q. v.

(TA.) b2: فُؤَادٌ نَبَضٌ: see نَبْضٌ.

نَبِضٌ: see نَبْضٌ.

نَبْضَةٌ [A single pulsation]. You say, رَأَيْتُ وَمْضَةَ بَرْقٍ كَنَبْضَةِ عِرْقٍ [I saw a slight flash of lightning, like a single pulsation of an artery]. (A, TA.) نَبِيضٌ: see نَبْضٌ.

نَابِضٌ [part. n. of 1]. You say, مَا دَامَ فِىَّ عُرَيْقٌ نَابِضٌ لَمْ أَخْذُلْكَ [As long as there remains in me a little artery pulsing, I will not abstain, or hold back, from aiding thee]; i. e., (tropical:) as long as I remain alive. (A, TA.) b2: [Hence,] (tropical:) Anger. (Lth, A, K.) See 1, where an ex. is given. b3: (assumed tropical:) An archer: lit. one who has a twanging. (Mgh.) مَنْبِضُ القَلْبِ The place where one sees the heart pulsing, (TA,) or in motion; (A, K;) and where one perceives the gentle sound of its [pulsation, or] motion. (A, O.) You say, جَسَّ الطَّبِيبُ مَنْبِضَهُ [The physician felt his place of pulsation], and مَنَابِضَهُمْ [their places of pulsation]. (A, TA.) b2: مَا يُعْرَفُ لَهُ مَنْبِضُ عَسَلَةٍ means (tropical:) He has no origin [known]; like مَضْرِبُ عَسَلَةٍ; (A, TA;) nor any people [to whom he belongs].

نَفَّاطٌ A thrower of نِفْط [or naphtha]: pl. ↓ نَفَّاطَةٌ, [or rather this is a coll. gen. n.,] (Msb,) and نَفَّاطُونَ.
