he followed him, with respect to place, and also with respect to time, and also (assumed tropical:) with respect to rank or station. (TA.) You say, جَآءَ يَدْبُرُهُمْ He came following them. (M, TA.) And دَبَرَنِى

فُلَانٌ Such a one came after me, behind me, (T, A,) or following me nearly. (A.) And دَبَرَهُ, inf. n. دَبْرٌ, He succeeded him, and remained after him. (TA.) And قَبَحَ اللّٰهُ مَا قَبَلَ مِنْهُ وَ مَا دَبَرَ [May God curse the beginning of it and the end]. (S, A.)

b3: دَبَرَ said of an arrow, (S, Msb,) or دَبَرَ الهَدَفَ, (M, A,) aor. ـُ (S, M, Msb,) inf. n. دُبُورٌ (S, M, Msb, K) and دَبْرٌ, (M, K,) It passed forth from the butt: (S, Msb:) or passed beyond the butt, (M, A, K,) and fell behind it. (M, A.)

b5: دَبَرَ القَوْمُ, aor. ـُ (M, TA,) inf. n. دَبَارٌ, (As, S, M, K,) like دَمَارٌ, (As, S,) [and دَبَارَةٌ, like دَمَارَةٌ (q. v.), and app. ↓ دَبَرَى, (see الخَيْبَرَى,) or دَبرَى may be a simple subst.,] The people, or company of men, perished; (As, * S, * M, K * TA;) went away, turning the back, and did not return. (TA. [And ادبر (q. v.) has a similar, or the same, meaning.]) Hence, عَلَيْهِ الدَّبَارُ Perdition befall him; may he go away, turning the back, and not return. (M, TA.)

b6: And دَبَرَ (tropical:) He became an old man. (S, A, K.) Hence, as some say, the expression in the Kur [lxxiv. 36], وَاللَّيْلُ

إِذَا دَبَرَ (tropical:) [And the night when it groweth old]. (TA.

[See also 4.])

b7: دَبَرَتِ الرِّيحُ, (S, M, A, K,) aor. ـُ inf. n. دُبُورٌ, (M,) The wind blew in the direction of that wind which is termed دَبُور [i. e. west, &c., which is regarded as the hinder quarter]: (M, A:) or changed, and came in that direction. (S, K.) [Hence,] دَبَرَتْ لَهُ الرِّيحُ بَعْدَ مَا أَقْبَلَتْ [lit. The wind became west to him after it had been east: meaning (tropical:) his fortune became evil after it had been good]: and دَبَرَ بَعْدَ إِقْبَالٍ [(tropical:) which means the same: see دَبُورٌ; and see also 4 in this art., and in art. قبل]. (A.)

A2: دَبَرَ الحَدِيثَ عَنْهُ: see 2.

A3: قَبَلْتُ الحَبْلَ وَدَبَرْتُهُ: see دَبِيرٌ.

A4: دَبَرَ, aor. ـُ inf. n. دَبْرٌ, signifies, accord. to Kr, He wrote a writing or letter or book: but none other says so; and the known word is ذَبَرَ. (M.) [The inf. n. is explained in the K as syn. with اِكْتِتَابٌ.]

A5: دَبِرَ, (S, M, Mgh, K,) aor. ـَ (K,) inf. n. دَبَرٌ, (M, Mgh,) He (a horse or the like, M, K, and a camel, S, M, Mgh) had galls, or sores, on his back, (M, Mgh, K, * TA,) produced by the saddle and the like; (Mgh;) as also ↓ ادبر. (K. [But the corresponding passage in the M shows that this is probably a mistake for أَدْبَرُ a syn. of دَبِرٌ.])

2 دبّر الأَمْرَ, (T, M, A,) or فِى الأَمْرِ (S,) inf. n. تَدْبِيرٌ, (T, S, K,) He considered, or forecast, the issues, or results, of the affair, or event, or case; (TA;) and so ↓ تدبّرهُ: (Mgh:) or its end, issue, or result; (T, M, K;) as also ↓ تدبّرهُ: (T, M, Msb, K:) or he looked to what would, or might, be its result: and فِيهِ ↓ تدبّر he thought, or meditated, upon it; (S;) [as also ↓ تدبّرهُ:] Aktham Ibn-Seyfee said to his sons, أَعْجَازَ ↓ يَابَنِىَّ لَا تَتَدَبَّرُوا

أُمُورٍ قَدْ وَلَّتْ صُدُورُهَا [O my sons, think not upon the ends of things whereof the beginnings have passed]: (T: [see عَجُزٌ:]) and in the Kur [iv. 84] it is said, القُرْآنَ ↓ أَفَلَا يَتَدَبَّرُونَ Will they, then, not consider the meanings of the Kur-án, and endeavour to obtain a clear knowledge of what is in it? (Bd:) and again, in the Kur [xxiii. 70], القَوْلَ ↓ أَفَلَمْ يَدَّبَّرُوا Have they, then, not thought upon, (TA,) and endeavoured to understand, (يَتَفَهَّمُوا, K,) what has been said to them in the Kur-án? for ↓ تَدَبُّرٌ signifies the thinking, or meditating, upon [a thing], and endeavouring to understand [it]; syn. تَفَكُّرٌ and تَفَهُّمٌ: (TA:) and ↓ تدبّرهُ he looked into it, considered it, examined it, or studied it, repeatedly, in order to know it, or until he knew it. (Msb in art. امل.)

دبّر أَمْرًا, inf. n. as above, signifies [also] He did, performed, or executed, a thing, or an affair, with thought, or consideration. (Msb.) [and He devised, planned, or plotted, a thing, عَلَى غَيْرِهِ

against another. And hence, He managed, conducted, ordered, or regulated, an affair; because the doing so requires consideration of the issues, or results, of the affair. You say, دبّر أُمُورَ البِلَادِ, and, elliptically, دبّر البِلَادَ, He managed, conducted, ordered, or regulated, the affairs of the provinces, or country: and in like manner, the affairs of a house. تَدْبِيرٌ is also attributed to irrational animals; as, for ex., to horses; meaning their conducting the affair of victory: and to inanimate things; as, for ex., to stars; meaning their regulating the alternations of seasons &c.: see Bd in lxxix. 5. And دبّر alone signifies He acted with consideration of the issues, or results, of affairs, or events, or cases; acted with, or exercised, forecast, or forethought; or acted with policy.]

b2: دبّر عَبْدَهُ, (M, Msb,) inf. n. as above, (T, S, Mgh, Msb, K,) He made his slave to be free after his own death, (S, M, Mgh, Msb, K,) saying to him, Thou art free after my death: (T, TA:) he made the emancipation of his slave to depend upon his own death. (TA.)

b3: دبّر

الحَدِيثَ, (inf. n. as above, K,) He related the tradition, narrative, or story, having received it, or heard it, from another person: (As, T, S, K: *) and هُوَ يُدَبِّرُ حَدِيثَ فُلَانٍ He relates the tradition, &c., of, or received from, or heard from, such a one: (As, S:) and دبّر الحَدِيثَ عَنْهُ; (M;) or عَنْهُ ↓ دَبَرَهُ, (S, K,) aor. ـُ (TA;) He related the tradition, &c., having received it, or heard it, from him, (S, M, K,) after his death: (S, K:) Sh says that دبّر الحَدِيثَ is unknown; but so the phrase is related on the authority of A'Obeyd: Ahmad Ibn-Yahyà [i. e. Th] disallows يُدَبِّرُهُ as meaning he relates it; and says that it is يَذْبُرُهُ, with ذ, meaning “he knows it, or learns it, well, soundly, or thoroughly;” syn. يُتْقِنُهُ. (T.)

3 دابرهُ, (S, A, *) inf. n. مُدَابَرَةٌ and دِبَارٌ, (K,) [He turned his back upon him: see 6.

b2: and hence,] (assumed tropical:) He severed himself from him, and avoided him, or shunned him; (TA;) became

at variance with him; (A;) regarded him, or treated him, with enmity, or hostility. (S, A, K.)

And دابر رَحِمَهُ (assumed tropical:) He cut, or severed, the ties, or bonds, of his relationship; disunited himself from his relations. (A.)

b3: دَابَرْتُهَا I made a slit such as is termed إِدْبَارَة in her (a ewe's or goat's or camel's) ear. (As, S, K.)

A2: See also 4.

4 ادبر, (M, K, and Bd in ix. 25,) inf. n. إِدْبَارٌ (S, M) and ↓ دُبْرٌ, accord. to Kr, but correctly the latter is a simple subst. [or quasi-inf. n.]; (M;) and ↓ دَبَرَ, (IAar, S, K,) inf. n. دَبْرٌ (TA) and دُبُورٌ; (TK;) He went, turning his back; turned back; went back; took a backward course; retreated; retired; retrograded; declined; syn. وَلَّىِ (S, M, K) and تَأَخَّرَ (IAar) and ذَهَبَ إِلَى خَلْفٍ; (Bd ubi suprà, and S and K in art. قبل;) contr. of أَقْبَلَ. (S, Bd.) And ادبر بِهِ [He went back, or backward, with it, or him; removed, or turned, it, or him, backward]. (S, K.) You say, يُدْبِرُ

بِالدَّلْوِ إِلَى الحَوْضِ [He goes back with the bucket to the watering-trough]: opposed to the phrase يُقْبِلُ بِهَا إِلَى بِئْرِ. (A.) See also دَبِيرٌ, first sentence. And ادبر عَنْهُ [He went back, &c., from it, or him]. (Msb.)

b2: [Hence,] (assumed tropical:) He feigned himself negligent of, or inattentive to, the want of his friend; (K;) as though he turned back from him. (TA.)

b3: [Hence also,] ادبر signifies (assumed tropical:) It

went backward, to a bad state; said of the affair, or case, of a people. (M, TA.) You say also, أَمْرٌ فُلَانٍ إِلَى إِقْبَالٍ and [in the contr. sense] الى

إِدْبَارٌ (assumed tropical:) [The affair, or case, of such a one is inclining to advance, and to go backward, to a bad state]. (A.) [إِدْبَارٌ often signifies The retiring, or declining, of good fortune; opposed to إِقْبَالٌ: see also 1, in the latter part of the paragraph.]

And ادبر القَوْمُ (assumed tropical:) The case of the people took a backward course, and there remained none of them. (TA.) And ادبر النَّهَارِ and ↓ دَبَرَ (inf. n. of the latter دُبُورٌ, A) signify the same; (Fr, T, S, M;) i. e. The day went, or departed; (M, A;) and so الصَّيْفُ

[the summer, or the spring]: and in like manner one says [in the contr. sense] أَقْبَلَ and قَبَلَ: so says Fr, and he adds, but you say of a man, اقبل الرَّاكِبُ and ادبر only, with ا, though [Az says] it seems to me that the two forms are applicable in the same manner to men as they are to times. (T.) Some read, in the Kur [lxxiv. 36], ↓ وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا دَبَرَ, (T, S,) which, accord. to some, means And the night when it cometh after the day; (T;) or when it followeth the day: (S: [for another rendering, see 1:]) others, (T, S,) the greater number, (T,) read اذا أَدْبَرَ, (T, S,) meaning when it retreateth to depart. (T.)

[Hence,] ادبرت الصَّلَاةُ (assumed tropical:) The prayer ended. (Bd in l. 39.) And وَإِدْبَارَ السُّجُودِ: and وَإِدْبَارَ النُّجُومِ: see دُبُرٌ. And ادبر (assumed tropical:) He died; (K;) as also ↓ دابر. (Lh, M, K. [See also دَبَرَ القَوْمُ, in the first paragraph.])

b4: مَا أَقْبَلَ مِنَ الجَبَلِ وَمَا أَدْبَرَ and مَا قَبَلَ

↓ مِنْهُ وَمَا دَبَرَ signify the same [i. e. What is in front, of the mountain; and what is behind]. (JK.)

A2: ادبر also signifies He made a man to be behind him. (M.)

A3: And It, (the saddle, S, K, or a burden, M, TA,) and he, (a man, S, Mgh,) caused a camel, (S, M, Mgh,) or a horse or the like, (K,) to have galls, or sores, on the back; galled the back. (M, Mgh, K. *)

b2: and His camel became galled in the back. (S, K.)

b3: See also 1, last signification.

A4: It is also said [app., of a man, as meaning He slit the ear of a she-camel

in a particular manner, i. e.,] when (T) the فَتْلَة

[or twisted slip formed by slitting (see إِدْبَارَةٌ)] of the ear of a she-camel, (T, K,) it being slit, (T, [but for اذا نحرت in the TT and TA, from which this is taken, I read إِذَا بُحِرَتْ, an emendation evidently required,]) turns towards the back of the neck: (IAar, T, TT, K, * TA:) and أَقْبَلَ is said in like manner when this فتلة is turned towards the face. (IAar, T, TT, TA. [See also 3.])

A5: It signifies also عَرَفَ دَبِيرَهُ مِنْ قَبِيلِهِ, (IAar,) or عَرَفَ

قَبِيلَهُ مِنْ دَبِيرِهِ; (K;) said of a man. (IAar.

[See دَبِيرٌ.])

A6: Also He, (K,) a man, (TA,) or it, a company of men, (S, M,) entered upon [a time in which blew] the wind called الدَّبُور. (S, M, K.)

A7: And He journeyed on the day called دُبَار, i. e. Wednesday. (K, TA.)

A8: And He became possessed of much property or wealth, or of many camels or the like. (Msb, * K.)

5 تَدَبَّخَ see 2, in nine places.

b2: عَرَفَ الأَمْرَ تَدَبُّرًا means He knew the thing at the last, (M, Mgh,) after it had past. (Mgh.) Jereer says, (M,) وَلَا تَتَّقُونَ الشَّرَّ حَتَّىيُصِيبَكُمْ

وَلَا تَعْرِفُونَ الأَمْرَ إِلَّا تَدَبُّرَا

[And ye fear not evil until it befalleth you, and ye know not the thing save at the last, when it has past]. (M, Mgh. *) [See also 10.] And in like manner, تَدَبَّرَ الكَلَامَ [meaning He postponed the saying] is said of one who has sworn after doing a thing. (Mgh.)

6 تدابروا They turned their backs, one upon another. (A'Obeyd, T.)

b2: And hence, (A'Obeyd, T,) (assumed tropical:) They severed themselves, one from another, (A'Obeyd, T, S, M, K,) and avoided, or shunned, one another; (A'Obeyd, T;) became at variance, one with another; (A;) regarded, or treated, one another with enmity, or hostility: (M, A:) or it is only said of the sons of one father, or ancestor. (M.)

b3: (assumed tropical:) They spoke [evil], one of another, behind the other's back. (TA.)

b4: (assumed tropical:) They abstained from, or neglected, aiding, or assisting, one another. (TA in art. خذل.)

10 استدبرهُ contr. of استقبلهُ. (S, * Msb, K. *)

[As such it signifies He turned his back towards him, or it.] You say, استدبر القِبْلَةَ He turned his back towards the kibleh. (MA.)

b2: [As such also,] He came behind him. (TA.) You say, استدبرهُ فَرَمَاهُ (A, TA) He came behind him and cast, or shot, at him. (TA.)

b3: [As such also, He saw it behind him: he looked back to it: he saw it, or knew it, afterwards:] he saw, (M, K,) or knew, (TA,) at the end of it, namely, an affair, or a case, what he did not see, (M, K,) or know, (TA,) at the beginning of it: (M, K:) [or rather] he knew it at the end of an affair, or a case; namely, a thing that he did not know at the beginning of it. (T, A.) You say, اِسْتَدْبَرَ

مِنْ أَمْرِهِ مَالَمْ يَسْتَقْبِلْ He knew at the end of his affair, or case, what he did not know at the beginning of it. (A.) And إِنَّ فُلَانًا لَوِ اسْتَقْبَلَ مِنْ

أَمْرِهِ مَا اسْتَدْبَرَهُ لَهُدِىَ لِوِجْهَةِ أَمْرِهِ Verily such a one, had he known at the beginning of his affair, or case, what he knew at the end thereof, had been directed to the right way of executing his affair. (T.) [See also 5.]

b4: استدبرهُ عَلَى غَيْرِهِ He appropriated it to himself exclusively, in preference to others: (AO, K:) because he who does so turns his back upon others, and retires from them. (TA.) El-Aashà says, describing wine, عَلَى الشَّرْبِ أَوْ مُنْكِرٍ مَا عُلِمْ تَمَزَّرْتُهَاغَيْرَ مُسْتَدْبِرٍ

i. e. [I sipped it] not appropriating [it] to myself exclusively [in preference to the other drinkers, nor denying what was known]. (AO, TA.)

دَبْرٌ The location, or quarter, that is behind a thing. (K. [In the CK, for خَلْف is put خَلَف.])

Hence the saying, (TA,) جَعَلْتُ كَلَامَهُ دَبْرَ أُذُنِى (assumed tropical:) I turned away from his speech, and feigned myself deaf to it: (T, S:) I did not listen to his speech, nor care for it, or regard it. (M, K, * TA.) You say also, أُذُنِهِ ↓ جَعَلَهُ دَابِرَ (tropical:) He turned away from him, avoided him, or shunned him. (T, * A.)

b2: See also دَبَرِىٌّ.

b3: Also, [like إِدْبَارٌ, inf. n. of 4,] (assumed tropical:) Death. (K.)

b4: And (assumed tropical:) Constant sleep: (M, K:) it is like تَسْبِيخٌ. (M.)

A2: I. q. ↓ دِبَارٌ; these two words being pls. [or rather coll. gen. ns.] whereof the sings. [or ns.

un.] are ↓ دَبْرَةٌ and ↓ دِبَارَةٌ; which signify A مَشَارَة [explained in the TA as meaning a channel of water; but it seems to be here used as meaning a portion of ground separated from the adjacent parts, for sowing or planting, being surrounded by dams, or by ridges of earth, which retain the water for irrigation, as explained in art. شور, and as is indicated by its Persian equivalent here following,] in, (S,) or of, (K,) land

that is sown or for sowing; (S, K;) called in Persian كُرْد: (S:) and دِبَارٌ signifies small channels for irrigation between tracts of seedproduce; (K;) and its sing. is دَبْرَةٌ: (TA:) [Mtr says,] دَبْرَةٌ is syn. with مَشَارَةٌ; in Persian كَرْدَه [app. a mistranscription for كُرْد as above]; and the pl. is دَبْرٌ and دِبَارٌ: (Mgh:) [ISd says,] دَبْرَةٌ signifies a small channel for irrigation between tracts of land sown or for sowing: or, as some say, i. q. مَشَارَةٌ: and the pl. is دِبَارٌ: it is also said that دِبَارٌ signifies i. q. كُرْدَةٌ; and its n. un. is دِبَارَةٌ: and دِبَارَاتٌ signifies rivulets that flow through land of seed-produce; and its sing. is دَبْرَةٌ: but I know not how this is, unless دَبْرَةٌ

have دِبَارٌ for its pl., and this have ة added to it, as in فِحَالَةٌ, and so دبارات be a pl. pl., i. e. perfect

pl. of دِبَارَةٌ: AHn says that دَبْرَةٌ signifies a patch of ground that is sown; [as is also said in the K;] and the pl. is دِبَارٌ. (M.)

b2: Also A piece of rugged ground in a بَحْرٌ [i. e. sea or large river], like an island, which the water overflows [at times] and from which [at times] it recedes. (M, K.)

b3: And A mountain; (T, K;) in the Abyssinian language: (TA: [Az says, “I

know not whether it be Arabic or not:”]) whence the saying of the King of Abyssinia, (T, * K, * TA,) مَا أُحِبُّ أَنَّ لِى دَبْرًا ذَهَبًا وَأَنِّىآذَيْتُ رَجُلًا

مِنَ المُسْلِمِينَ [I would not that I had a mountain of gold and that I had harmed a man of the Muslims]: (T, K:) but [SM says that] this is a confounding of two readings; which are, دَبْرًا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ and أَنْ يَكُونَ دَبْرٌ لِى ذَهَبًا: (TA:) another reading is ذَبْرًا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ. (TA in art. ذبر.)

b4: See also دِبْرٌ.

b5: Also, (S, M, K, &c.,) and ↓ دِبْرٌ, (AHn, M, K,) A swarm of bees: and hornets, or large wasps; syn. زَنَابِيرُ: (S, M, K:) and the like thereof, having stings in their hinder parts: (B:) it has no sing., or n. un.: (As, M:) or the n. un. is ↓ دَبْرَةٌ or ↓ دِبْرَةٌ; of which the dim. ↓ دُبَيْرَةٌ occurs in a trad.: (TA:) pl. [of pauc.] أَدْبُرٌ (K) and [of mult.] دُبُورٌ: (As, S, K:) and ↓ دَبُورٌ, with fet-h to the first letter, signifies bees; and has no proper sing. (M.) 'Ásim Ibn-Thábit El-Ansáree was called حَمِىُّ الدَّبْرِ [The protected of hornets, or bees], because his corpse was protected from his enemies by large hornets, (S,) or by a swarm of bees. (M, Mgh * in art. حمى.)

b6: دَبْرٌ also signifies The young ones of locusts; (AHn, K;) and so ↓ دِبْرٌ. (AHn, M, K.)

دُبْرٌ: see دُبُرٌ: and دَبَرِىٌّ; the latter in two places.

A2: See also 4, first sentence.

دِبْرٌ: see دَبْرٌ, last sentence but two, and last sentence.

b2: Also, (S, M, K,) and ↓ دَبْرٌ, (M, K,) Much property or wealth; or many camels or the like; (S, M, K;) such as cannot be computed, or calculated: (M:) the sing. [and dual] and pl. are alike: you say [using it as an epithet]

مَالٌ دِبْرٌ and مَالَانِ دِبْرٌ and أَمْوَالٌ دِبْرٌ: (S, M:) this mode of usage is best known; but sometimes دُبُورٌ is used as its pl.: (M:) in like manner you say مَالٌ دَثْرٌ: and you say also رَجُلٌ ذُو

دِبْرٍ, (S, TA,) and رجل دبر, [unless this be a mistake for the phrase immediately preceding,] (Fr, TA,) meaning a man having large possessions in land or houses or other property. (Fr, S, TA.)

دَبَرٌ [app. signifies A tract of the western sky at sunset: for] the Arabs said, إِذَا رَأَيْتَ الثُّرَيَّا

بِدَبَرْ فَشَهْرٌ نِتَاجْ وَشَهْرٌ مَطَرْ وَإِذَا رَأَيْتَ الشِّعْرَى بِقَبَلْ

فَمَجْدُ فَتًى وَحِمْلُ جَمَلْ, meaning When thou seest the Pleiades near to setting with sunset, then [is a month which] is a time of breeding of camels, and [a month which is] a time of rain: and when thou seest Sirius [near to rising] with

sunset, [then is the glory of the generous man, and the time for the burden of the full-grown hecamel; for] then is the most intense degree of cold, when none but the generous and noble and ingenuous man will patiently persevere in the exercise of hospitality and beneficence, and when the heavy burden is not laid save upon the strong full-grown he-camel, because then the camels become lean and the pasturage is scanty. (M.)

A2: Also, and so is أَدْبَارٌ, a pl. [or rather the former is a coll. gen. n.] of ↓ دَبَرَةٌ, (S, M, K,) which signifies A gall, or sore, on the back (M, * Mgh, K, * TA) of a horse or the like (M, K, TA) and of a camel, (M, Mgh,) produced by the saddle and the like; (Mgh;) and also on the كِرْكِرَة

[or callous projection on the breast] of a camel. (S and K in art. سر.) They used to say, in the Time of Ignorance, إِذَا بَرَأَ الدَّبَرُ وَعَفَا الأَثَرُ, explained as meaning [When] the galls on the back of the beast or upon the foot of the camel [shall heal, and the footstep, or mark, become obliterated]. (TA from a trad.)

A3: Also inf. n. of دَبِرَ. (M, Mgh.)

دَبِرٌ (M, K) and ↓ أَدْبَرُ (M) A horse or the like, (M, K,) and a camel, (M,) having galls, or sores, (M, K,) on his back (TA) [produced by the saddle and the like; having his back galled: see دَبَرٌ]: fem. [of the former] دَبِرَةٌ and [of the latter]

↓ دَبْرَآءُ: and pl. [of either] دَبْرَى. (M, TA.)

[Hence the prov.,] هَانَ عَلَى الأَمْلَسِ مَا لَاقَى الدَّبِرُ

[What he that had galls on his back experienced was a light matter to him that had a sound back]: applied to one who has an ill concern for his companion. (K.)

b2: In the phrase رَجُلٌ

خَسِرٌ وَدَبِرٌ [app. meaning A man erring and perishing], Lh says that دَبِرٌ is an imitative sequent to خَسِرٌ: but [ISd says,] I think that خَسِرٌ is a verbal epithet, and that دَبِرٌ is a possessive epithet. (M in art. دمر.) You say also أَحْمَقٌ

دَامِرٌ ↓ خَاسِرٌ دَابِرٌ: (T in art. بت: [see art. خسر:]) and دَابِرٌ is said to be an imitative sequent to خَاسِرٌ. (TA.)

دُبُرٌ and ↓ دُبْرٌ, (the latter a contraction of the former, Msb, [and not so commonly used, like as إِبْلٌ is not so commonly used as إِبِلٌ,]) The back; syn. ظَهْرٌ: (S, A, B, K;) the first signification given in the [S and] A and B: pl. أَدْبَارٌ. (TA.)

You say, وَلَّى دُبُرَهُ [lit., He turned his back; and tropically,] (tropical:) he was put to flight. (A.)

And وَلَّاهُ دُبُرَهُ [lit., He turned his back to him; and tropically,] the same as the phrase immediately preceding. (Mgh, Msb.) It is said in the Kur [liv. 45], وَيُوَلُّونَ الدُّبُرَ [And they shall turn the back, in flight]: where الدبر is used in a collective sense, agreeably with another passage in the Kur [xiv. 44], لَا يَرْتَدُّ إِلَيْهِمْ طَرْفُهُمْ. (S, B.)

You also say, ↓ وَلَّوْا دَبْرَةً (tropical:) They turned back in flight, or being routed. (A, TA.)

b2: The back, or hinder part, contr. of قُبُلٌ, (S, A, Msb, K,) of anything: (Msb:) as, for instance, of a shirt. (Kur xii. 25, 27, and 28.) You say, وَقَعَ السَّهْمُ

بِدُبْرِ الهَدَفِ The arrow fell behind the butt. (TA in art. قبل.)

b3: The backside; posteriors; buttocks; rump; or podex: and the anus: syn. اِسْتٌ. (K.) [It has the former of these two significations in many instances; and the latter of them in many other instances: in the S and K in art. جعر, it is given as a syn. of مَجْعَرٌ, which has the latter signification in the present day. This latter signification may also be intended in the S, M, A, Msb, and K, by the explanation “ contr. of قُبُلٌ,” as well as the “ back, or hinder part,” of anything: for قُبُلٌ very often signifies the “ anterior pudendum ” of a man or woman, and is so explained. The anus is also called حَلْقَةُ الدُّبُرِ and حِتَارُ الدُّبُرِ and شَرَجُ الدُّبُرِ.] Its pl. أَدْبَارٌ is also applied to the part which comprises the اِسْت [or anus] and the حَيَآء [or vulva, i. e., external portion of the female organs of generation,] of a solid-hoofed animal, and of a cloven-hoofed

animal, and of that which has claws, or talons: or, as some say, of a camel, or an animal having feet like those of the camel: and the sing., to the حَيَآء [or vulva] alone, of any such animal. (M, TT.)

b4: (assumed tropical:) The latter, or last, part, (T, S, M, Msb, K,) of a thing, an affair, or an event, (T, S, Msb,) or of anything: (M, K:) pl. أَدْبَارٌ (M) [and دِبَارٌ: see دَبَرِىٌّ]. [See also دَابِرٌ.]

One says, جِئْتُكَ دُبُرِ الشَّهْرِ, and فِى دُبُرِهِ, and عَلَى

دُبُرِهِ, and أَدْبَارَ الشَّهْرِ, and فِى أَدْبَارِهِ, (tropical:) I came to thee in the latter, or last, part or parts, of the month. (M, K.) And أَدْعُو لَكَ فِى أَدْبَارِ الصَّلَوَاتِ (assumed tropical:) [I will petition for thee in the latter, or last, parts, or the conclusions, of the prayers]. (A.)

See also دَبَرِىٌّ. In the Kur [I. xxxix.], وَأَدْبَارَ

السُّجُودِ signifies (assumed tropical:) And in the latter parts, or the ends, of the prayers: and السُّجُودِ ↓ وَإِدْبَارَ [virtually] signifies the same [i. e. and in the ending of prostration], and is another reading of the text: Ks and Th adopt the former reading, because every single prostration has its latter part: or, accord. to the T, the meaning is, and in the two rek'ahs (الرَّكْعَتَانِ) after sunset; as is related on the authority of 'Alee the son of Aboo-Tálib. (TA.) The similar expression in the Kur [lii. last verse] وَأَدْبَارَ النُّجُومِ is explained by the lexicologists as signifying (assumed tropical:) And during the consecution of the stars, and their taking towards the west, to set: but [ISd says,] I know not how this is, since أَخْذٌ, by which they explain it, is an inf. n., and أَدْبَار is a pl. of a subst.: النُّجُومِ ↓ وَإِدْبَارَ, which is another reading of the text, signifies and during the setting of the stars: and Ks and Th adopt this latter reading: (M:) or, accord. to the T, both mean and in the two rek'ahs before daybreak. (TA.)

b5: Also The hinder part, (M,) and angle, (زَاوِيَة,) of a house or chamber or tent. (M, K.)

b6: عِتْقَ العَبْدِ عَنْ

دُبُرٍ (S, K) means The emancipation of the slave after the death of his owner. (S, Mgh, * Msb. * [See 2.])

b7: [See also دَبِيرٌ, of which, and of دِبَارٌ, دُبُرٌ is said in the TA in art. قبل to be a pl.].

دَبْرَةٌ: see دُبُرٌ.

b2: Also (assumed tropical:) A turn of evil fortune; an unfavourable turn of fortune: or a turn to be vanquished; contr. of دَوْلَةٌ: (As, M, K:) دَوْلَةٌ relates to good; and دَبْرَةٌ, to evil: one

says, جَعَلَ اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ الدَّبْرَةَ (assumed tropical:) [May God make the turn of evil fortune to be against him]: (As, T, M:) this [says ISd] is the best explanation that I have seen of دَبْرَةٌ: (M:) or (so accord. to the M, but in the K “ and ”) it signifies (assumed tropical:) the issue, or result, of a thing or an affair or a case; (M, K;) as in the saying of Aboo-Jahl to Ibn-Mes'ood, when he [the former] lay prostrate, wounded, لِمَنِ الدَّبْرَةُ (assumed tropical:) In whose favour is the issue, or result? and was answered, “In favour of God and his apostle, O enemy of God: ” (T, TA:) also (tropical:) defeat in fight; (S, A, Mgh, K;) a subst. from الإِدْبَارُ, as also ↓ دَبَرَةٌ, (S,) and ↓ دَابِرَةٌ: (IAar, A, K:) you say, كَانَتِ الدَّبْرَةُ لَهُ, meaning (tropical:) His adversary was defeated; and عَلَيْهِ

meaning (tropical:) He was himself defeated: (A:) and لِمَنِ الدَّبْرَةُ, meaning (assumed tropical:) Who is the defeater? and عَلَىمَنِ الدَّبْرَةُ (assumed tropical:) Who is the defeated? the pl. of دَبْرَةٌ in the last sense is دِبَارٌ: (TA:) which also signifies conflicts and defeats; (K;) as in the saying, أَوْقَعَ اللّٰهُ بِهِمُ الدِّبَارَ God caused, or may God cause, to befall them conflicts and defeats. (TA.)

A2: See also دَبْرٌ, in two places.

دِبْرَةٌ The direction, or point, towards which one turns his back; contr. of قِبْلَةٌ. (S, K.) One

says, مَا لَهُ قِبْلَةٌ وَلَا دِبْرَةٌ, meaning (tropical:) He has no way of applying himself rightly to his affair. (S, K, TA.) And لَيْسَ لِهٰذَا الأَمْرِ قِبْلَةٌ وَلَا دِبْرَةٌ (tropical:) The right way of executing this affair is not known. (S, A.)

b2: See also إِدْبَارَةٌ.

دَبْرِىٌّ: see the next paragraph, in two places.

دَبَرِىٌّ [Backward: and hence, (tropical:) late]. Yousay, العِلْمُ قَبَلِىٌّوَلَيْسَ بِالدَّبَرِىِّ (assumed tropical:) [True learning is prompt, and is not backward]: i. e., the man of sound learning answers thee quickly; but the backward says, I must consider it. (Th, T.) and تَبِعْتُ صَاحِبِى دَبَرِيًّا (assumed tropical:) I followed my companion, fearing that he would escape me, after having been with him, and having fallen back from him. (M.) And شَرُّ الرَّأْىِ الدَّبَرِىُّ (T, S, A, K *) (tropical:) The worst opinion, or counsel, is that which occurs [to one] late, when the want [of it] is past; (T, S, K, * TA;) i. e., when the affair is past: or رَأْىٌ

دَبَرِىٌّ signifies an opinion, or a counsel, not deeply looked into; and in like manner, جَوَابٌ, an answer, or a reply. (M.) And فُلَانٌ لَا يُصَلِّى

الصَّلَاةَ إِلَّا دَبَرِيًّا (Az, S, M, A, K) and ↓ دَبْرِيًّا, (AHeyth, K,) and the relaters of traditions say ↓ دُبُرِيًّا, (S,) which is said in the K to be a corruption, but it may have been heard from a good authority, and with respect to the rules of the language is chaste, for, accord. to IAth, دَبَرِىٌّ is a rel. n. irregularly formed from دُبُرٌ, (TA,) (tropical:) Such a one performs not prayer save in the last part of its time. (Az, S, K *) It is said in a trad., لَا يَأْتِى الصَّلَاةِ إِلَّا دَبَرِيًّا; and in another, ↓ الّا دُبْرًا or ↓ دَبْرًا, accord. to different relations; (tropical:) He will not come to prayer save at the last, or late: and in another, ↓ أَتَى الصَّلَاةَ دِبَارًا (tropical:) He came to prayer at the latest of the times thereof; (IAar, TA;) or after the time had gone: (S:) ↓ دِبَارٌ being a pl. of ↓ دُبُرٌ and ↓ دُبْرٌ meaning the last of the times of prayer &c. (IAar, TA.)

One says also, ↓ جَآءَ فُلَانٌ دَبْرِيًّا (tropical:) Such a one came last, or latest. (A, * TA.) دبريًّا is in the accus.

case as an adv. n. of time [like دُبْرًا and دَبْرًا and دِبَارًا], or as a denotative of state with respect to the agent of the verb. (TA.) In the passage in the K [where it is said that دَبَرِىٌّ signifies Prayer in the last of its time, &c.], there is a looseness. (TA.)

دُبُرِىٌّ: see the next preceding paragraph.

الدَّبَرَانُ [The Hyades: or the five chief stars of the Hyades: or the brightest star among them, a of Taurus:] five stars of Taurus, said to be his hump; (S;) one of the Mansions of the Moon; [namely, the Fourth;] a certain star, or asterism, between الثُّرَيَّا [or the Pleiades] and الجَوْزَآءُ [or Orion], also called التَّابِعُ and التُّوَيْبِعُ; (T;) it follows الثريّا, (T, M,) and therefore is thus named. (T.) [See مَنَازِلُ القَمَرِ, in art. نزل: and see المِجْدَحُ, in art. جدح.]

دُبَارٌ, (S, M, K, [in the M, accord. to the TT, written دُبَارُ, and it occurs in poetry imperfectly decl., but there is no reason for its being so in prose,]) and ↓ دِبَارٌ, (K,) Wednesday; the fourth day of the week; (S, K;) an ancient name thereof: (S, M, * TA:) or, accord. to the 'Eyn, (K,) the night of [i. e. preceding the day of]

Wednesday that does not come round [again, i. e. the last Wednesday,] in the month. ” (TA.)

دِبَارٌ: see دَبَرِىٌّ, in two places.

b2: You say also, فُلَانٌ مَا يَدْرِى قِبَالَ الأَمْرِ مِنْ دِبَارِهِ Such a one does not know the first part of the affair from the last thereof. (TA.) And مَا يَعْرِفُ قِبَالًا: مِنْ دِبَارٍ: see دَبِيرٌ. And مَا أَنْتَ لَهُمْ فِى قِبَالٍ وَلَا

دِبَارٍ (assumed tropical:) Thou art not one for whom they care. (TA in art. قبل.)

A2: See also دَبْرٌ: A3: and دُبَارٌ.

دَبُورٌ, used as a subst. and as an epithet, [of the fem. gender,] so that one says either رِيحُ الدَّبُورِ or رِيحٌ دَبُورٌ and simply دَبُورٌ, but more commonly used as an epithet, (M,) [The west wind: or a westerly wind: the west being regarded as the hinder quarter:] the wind that is opposite to that called الصَّبَا (S, L, Msb, K) and القَبُولُ, (L,) blowing from the direction of the place of sunset: (L, Msb:) or the wind that comes from [the direction of] the back, or hinder part, of the Kaabeh, going towards the place of sunrise: (M:) but IAth rejects this explanation: (TA:) or the wind that comes from the quarter behind a person when he is standing at the kibleh: [but this is a most strange explanation:] or, accord. to IAar, the wind that blows from the tract extending from the place where En-Nesr et-Táïr [or Aquila] sets [i. e. about W. 10° N. in Central Arabia] to the place where Suheyl [or Canopus]

rises [about S. 29° E. in Central Arabia]: (M:) or that comes from the direction of the south (الجَنُوب), going towards the place of sunrise: (Msb:) it is the worst of winds: it is said that it does not fecundate trees, nor raise clouds: (Meyd, TA:) and in a trad. it is said that the tribe of 'Ád was destroyed by it: (T, TA:) it blows only in the hot season, and is very thirsty: (TA voce نَكْبَآءُ:) pl. دُبُرٌ and دَبَائِرُ. (M.) [Hence the saying,] عَصَفَتْ دَبُورُهُ وَسَقَطَتْ عَبُورُهُ [lit. His west wind, or westerly wind, blew violently, and his Sirius set: meaning (tropical:) his evil fortune prevailed, and his good fortune departed: for the دبور is the worst of winds, as observed above, and Sirius sets aurorally in the beginning of winter, when provisions become scarce]. (A.)

دَبِيرٌ A twist which a woman turns backward (بِهِ ↓ مَا أَدْبَرَتْ), in twisting it: (S, K:) or what one turns backward from his chest [in rolling it against the front of his body]: (Yaakoob, S, A, K:) and قَبِيلٌ signifies “ what one turns forward (مَا أَقْبَلَ بِهِ)

towards his chest: ” (Yaakoob, S, A:) or the former, what the twister turns backward towards his knee [in rolling it against his thigh; against

which, or against the front of the body, the spindle is commonly rolled, except when it is twirled only with the hand while hanging loosely]: and the latter, “what he turns forward towards his flank or waist: ” (As, T:) [whence the saying,] قَبَلْتُ

أُخْرَى ↓ الحَبْلُ مَرَّةً وَ دَبَرْتُهُ [I turned the rope, or cord, forward, or toward me, in twisting it, one time, and turned it backward, or from me, another time]: (TA in art. قبل:) or دَبِيرٌ signifies the twisting of flax and wool: and قَبِيلٌ, the “ twisting of cotton. ” (Lth, T.) One says, عَرَفَ

قَبِيلَهُ مِنْ دَبِيرِهِ, meaning (tropical:) He knew, or distinguished, his obedience from his disobedience; (K,) TA;) or دَبِيرَهُ مِنْ قَبِيلِهِ his disobedience from his obedience.

(TA in that art.) Accord. to El-Mufaddal, دَبِيرٌ signifies An arrow's losing in a game of chance [such as المَيْسِر]; and قَبِيلٌ, its “ winning therein. ” (T, TA.) [See قَبِيلٌ, in art. قبل.]

part of the ear of a camel: the lower part is called the قَبِيل. (TA in art. قبل.)

دِبَارَةٌ: see دَبْرٌ.

دُبَيْرَةٌ: see دَبْرٌ.

دَابِرٌ act. part. n. of دَبَرَ, Following (S, K, TA)

[Hence,] دَابِرُ قَوْمٍ The last that remains of a people or party; he who comes at the end of a people or party; as also ↓ دَابِرَتُهُمْ; which likewise signifies those who remain after them: and ↓ دَابِرَةٌ [so in the TA, but accord. to the T دَابِرٌ, which I think the right reading,] signifies one who comes after; or follows, another.

A2: دَسَمَ, (Z, K, and so in some copies of the S,) [aor., app., دَسِمَ,] inf. n. دَسْمٌ; (TA;) or ↓ دسّم; (so in some copies of the S;) said of rain, It moistened the earth (S, Z, K) a little, (K,) not much, (S,) or so as not to reach the moist soil.

(TA.) b4: and hence, i. e. from دَسَمَ الجُرْحَ or from دَسَمَ القَارُورَةَ, (TA,) (tropical:) Inivit feminam. (Kr, M, K, TA.) and hence also,] one says to the مُسْتَحاَضَة, [see this word,] اُدْسُمِى وَصَلِّى (assumed tropical:) [Stuff thy vagina with cotton, to arrest the blood, and say thy prayers].

(K.) دَسَمٌ a word of well-known meaning; (S;) i. q. وَدَكٌ; (M, K;) both signifying Grease, or gravy; i. e. the dripping that exudes from flesh-meat and from fat; (Msb in art. ودك;) the وَدَك of flesh-meat and of fat: (Mgh: [in the CK, الوَرَكُ is erroneously put for الوَدَكُ:]) or, accord. to the T, anything that has وَدَك, of flesh-meat and of fat: (TA:) and dirt, or filth: (M, K:) and ↓ دَسْمٌ signifies the same as دَسَمٌ, accord. to El-Kurtubee; but El-Welee El-'Irákee says, I have not seen this on the authority of any other lexicologist. (TA.) You say, يَدُهُ مِنَ الدَّسَمِ سَلِطَةٌ [app. meaning, if correctly transcribed, His hand is hard by reason of dirt adhering to it: in my MS. copy of the K, the last word is written سَطِلَةٌ; a word which I do not find in any sense: in the TK, سطلة: this Freytag thinks to be the right reading, though I know of no such word; and he renders the phrase, “manus ejus propter sordes inhaerentes catinus est; ” evidently assuming that سطلة is a dial. var. of سَطْلٌ]. (K.) [It seems that you say also, مَا فِيهِ دَسَمٌ meaning (assumed tropical:) There is not in him, or it, any profit, or good: a sense assigned in the TA to the phrase ما فيه ديسم دسم; in which I think it evident that the transcriber has written ديسم by mistake, and forgotten to erase it after adding دسم.) b2: Also The bowels, or intestines. (TA.) A2: Accord. to IAar, it means also كَثِيرُ الذِّكْرِ [Praising, or glorifying, God, much]; a sense in which it is incorrectly said in the K to be ↓ دَسِيمٌ, like أَمِيرٌ: (TA:) and hence the trad., of weak authority, لَا يَذْكُرُونَ اللّٰهَ إِلَّا دَسَمًا: (K:) or, accord. to Z, this is from دَسَمَ said of rain: and, as related by Abu-d-Dardà, the words are أَرَضِيتُمْ إِنْ شَبِعْتُمْ عَامًا أَلَّا تَذْكُرُونَ اللّٰهَ إِلَّا دَسَمًا, meaning [Do ye approve, if ye be satisfied in your stomachs throughout a year,] that ye should not praise, or glorify, God, save a little? (TA:) or it may denote commendation; so that the meaning of لا يذكرون اللّٰه الّا دسمًا is, that praise, or glorification, is the stuffing of their hearts and of their mouths: and it may denote discommendation; as meaning that they praise, or glorify, little; from تَدْسِيمُ نُونَةِ الصَّبِىِّ; (K, TA;) the blackness denoted by this phrase being small in quantity: or, as some say, the meaning is, that they do not praise, or glorify, God for anything but eating, and the grease, or gravy, in their insides. (TA.) دَسِمٌ A thing greasy; or having in it, or upon it, grease or gravy, (M, Mgh,) of flesh-meat or of fat: (Mgh:) [and dirty, or filthy: pl. دُسْمٌ; like as ذُرْبٌ is pl. of ذَرِبٌ.] You say مَرَقَةٌ دَسِمَةٌ [Greasy broth]. (TA.) And ثِيَابٌ دُسْمٌ, Dirty, or filthy, garments. (S, TA.) And دَسِمَ الثَّوْبِ, applied to a man, [Dirty in the garment: and hence, going on foot;] not riding; as also ↓ أَدْسَمُ الثَّوْبِ. (TA.) [Hence also,] (assumed tropical:) Defiled by culpable dispositions. (TA.) A rájiz says, لَاهُمَّ إِنَّ عَامِرَ بْنَ جَهْمِ

أَوْذَمَ حَجًّا فِى ثِيَابٍ دُسْمِ meaning (assumed tropical:) [O God, verily 'Ámir Ibn-Jahm] hath imposed upon himself, (S in art. وذم,) or hath performed, (M,) pilgrimage being defiled by sins. (S in art. وذم, and M.) b2: عِمَامَةٌ دَسِمَةٌ signifies A black turban; (TA;) as also عمامة ↓ دَسْمَآءُ. (Az, Mgh, TA.) And دَسِمٌ occurs in a trad. as meaning (assumed tropical:) Strict, or pious, [though] black, (أَسْوَدُ, [or this may here mean a genuine Arab, as opposed to أَحْمَرُ meaning a foreigner,]) and religious.

↓ دُسْمَةٍ, lit. “ the mother of blackness; ”] (assumed tropical:) The cooking-pot. (T in art. ام.) A2: آخِرُ دَسْمَةٍ i. q. آخِرُ عَهْدٍ [The last time]; like آخِرُ مَخْطَرٍ. (TA in art. خطر. [See خَطْرَةٌ, last sentence.]) دُسْمَةٌ A thing with which a hole in a skin for water or milk is stopped up. (M, K.) A2: Blackness; (IAar, TA;) [and] so ↓ دَيْسَمٌ: (K:) or dust-colour inclining to blackness. (M, K.) Hence the Abyssinian is called أَبُو دُسْمَةٍ. (IAar, TA.) See also أُمُّ دَسْمَة, above.

A3: Applied to a man, (assumed tropical:) Low, or ignoble; base; vile; mean, or sordid: (S, TA:) or bad, corrupt, base, or vile. (M, K. [Freytag erroneously assigns the meaning “ vilis ”

to أَدْسَمُ.]) One says, مَا أَنْتَ إِلَّا دُسْمَةٌ (tropical:) Thou art none other than one in whom is no good. (TA.) دِسَامٌ A stopper; (M, K;) a thing with which one stops up the ear, and a wound, and the like, and the head of a flask or bottle, and the like. (S.) It is said in a trad. that the Devil has a دِسَام; meaning that he has a stopper by which he prevents one from seeing the truth (M, TA) and from keeping in mind admonition. (TA.) دَسِيمٌ: see دَسَمٌ.

دَاسِمٌ: see the next paragraph.

دَيْسَمٌ Darkness. (M, K.) b2: See also دُسْمَةٌ.

A2: The fox: (K:) [or] the young one of the fox: (M:) or, as some say, (M,) the young one of the fox from the bitch: (M, K:) and (so in the M, but in the K “ or ”) of the wolf from the bitch: (S, M, K:) and the bear: (K:) or the young one of the bear; (S, M, K;) which is the only meaning allowed by Abu-l-Ghowth. (S.) Also, (K,) or as some say, (M,) The young one of the bee. (M, K.) And, accord. to Abu-lFet-h, (TA,) whose name was دَيْسَمٌ, (K, * TA,) the companion of Kutrub, A [young ant, such as is termed] ذَرَّةٌ: (TA:) or ↓ دَيْسَمَةٌ [in the CK erroneously written دَسَمَة] has this last signification. (S, K, TA.) A3: Also A certain plant, (S, K, KL,) called in Pers\. بستان افروز [which is said to be a name applied to the amaranth, anemone, and the like]. (KL.) A4: And [A man] gentle, nice, or skilful, in work; careful, or solicitous [therein]; as also ↓ دَاسِمٌ. (K.) دَيْسَمَةٌ: see the next preceding paragraph.

(O.) And ضَيَّقْتُ عَلَيْهِ [alone, used elliptically, I straitened him, properly speaking; and also, (assumed tropical:) his circumstances &c.]. (Msb.) And ضُيِّقَ عَلَى فُلَانٍ (assumed tropical:) [Such a one was straitened]. (TA.) لِتُضَيِّقُوا عَلَيْهِنَّ, in the Kur [lxv. 6, (assumed tropical:) In order that ye may straiten them], implies relation to expenses and to the bosom. (TA.) [See 3.

التَّضْيِيقُ بَيْنَ شَيْئَيْنِ, occurring in the S and K in art. حوص, means The making a coarctation between two things.]3 ضايقهُ He straitened him: (MA:) [see also 2: or, properly, he straitened him, being in like manner straitened by him: see 1 in art. زحم: and] (tropical:) he treated him, or behaved towards him, with hardness, or harshness; (O, * K, * TA;) فِى كَذَا [in, or in respect of, such a thing]. (TA.) 4 اضاق (tropical:) His means of living became strait (عَلَيِْه مَعَاشُهُ ↓ ضَاقَ); (TA;) his property went away; (S, O, Msb, K;) and he became poor. (TA.) A2: See also 2.5 تَضَيَّقَ see 1, first sentence.6 تَضَاْيَقَ see 1, in three places. تضايقوا They straitened one another; pushed, or pressed, one against another; or crowded one another; in a place of assembly; syn. زَحَمَ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا: (Msb in art. زحم:) or they became straitened in a place, or (assumed tropical:) in disposition. (S, O.) 10 استضاقت بِدُرْجَةٍ [She endeavoured to constrict her vagina by means of a pessary], (O, K, TA,) or بِالأَدْوِيَةِ [by means of medicaments]; (A, TA;) said of a woman. (A, O, K.) ضَيْقٌ an inf. n. of 1, (S, O, Msb, K,) as also ↓ ضِيقٌ, (S, O, K,) or the latter is a simple subst.: (Msb:) [both, used as simple substs., signify Narrowness, or straitness:] accord. to Fr, [both seem to signify thus; but the latter, properly; and the former, tropically; for he says that]

الضَّيْقُ is in that which does not [really] become wide, like the mind (الصَّدْر): (O:) or it is مَا ضَاقَ عَنْهُ صَدْرُكَ [that of which the mind by its being contracted is incapable, or from which the mind shrinks; an explanation not given in the K as on the authority of Fr, and deviating from his words as given in the O; whence it appears that, for مَا, we should perhaps read فِيمَا]: (K:) but ↓ الضِّيقُ is in that which may be [really] wide, like the house and the garment: (O, K:) and the former [is also used as an epithet, being a contraction of ضَيِّقٌ in this case, and as such] has a dual and a plural and a feminine; but the latter has not: (O:) or ↓ both are alike [in signification]: (K:) and ↓ ضَيْقَةٌ is syn. with ضِيقٌ. (S.) b2: Also, and ↓ ضَيَقٌ, accord. to AA, (O, [the latter there expressly said to be بِالتَّحْرِيكِ,]) or the former and ↓ ضِيقٌ, (K, [said in the TA to be a mistake for ضَيَقٌ, but see what follows,]) Doubt (AA, O, K) in the heart: (K) the first is more common than the second, in this sense; and occurs in the Kur in xvi. last verse and xxvii. 72: (O:) [but] Ibn-Ketheer read, in both of these instances, ↓ ضِيق; and this and ضَيْق are dial. vars. signifying straitness of mind. (Bd.) A2: See also ضَيِّقٌ, in two places: b2: and ضَيْقَةٌ, second sentence, in two places.

ضِيقٌ: see the next preceding paragraph, in five places.

ضَيَقٌ: see ضَيْقٌ, latter part.

ضَيْقَةٌ: see ضَيْقٌ, latter part. b2: Also (S) (tropical:) Poverty; and an evil state or condition; (S, O, K, TA;) and so ↓ ضِيقَةٌ: (K, TA:) and the pl. [or rather coll. gen. n.] (Fr, S, K, TA) of the former (Fr, S, TA) is ↓ ضَيْقٌ: (Fr, S, K, TA: [in the CK, erroneously, ضِيقٌ:]) Fr says, when you see ↓ الضَّيْق to have occurred in the place of الضِّيق, it is in [one of] two cases; either it is the pl. [or coll. gen. n.] of الضَّيْقَةُ; or it means the narrow, or strait, thing, ضَيْقٌ being a contraction of ضَيِّقٌ. (TA.) b3: And الضَّيْقَةُ, (O,) or ضَيْقَةُ [without the article], (JK, O, TA,) or ↓ الضِّيقَةُ, (K, [app. a mistake, for in the O, in every case, whether as a proper name or not, الضيقة is written الضَّيْقَةُ,]) is the name of A certain mansion of the moon, (JK, O, K, TA,) [not one of the Twentyeight Mansions,] close by الثُّرَيَّا [or the Pleiades]: (JK, O, TA:) or, as IKt says, on the authority of Ibn-Ziyád El-Kilábee, sometimes the moon falls short of الدَّبَرَان and alights in الضيقة, i. e. two small stars, near together, between الثُّرَيَّا and الدَّابَرَان: (TA:) it is asserted by the Arabs to be an inauspicious place. (O, * TA.) Hence the saying of El-Akhtal, فَهَلَّا زَجَرْتَ الطَّيْرَ لَيْلَةَ جِئْتَهَا بِضَيْقَةَ بَيْنَ النَّجْمِ وَالدَّبَرَانِ

[And wherefore didst not thou draw an omen from the flight of birds on the night when thou camest to her, when the moon was in Deykah, between the Pleiades and Ed-Debarán?]: he notifies that the moon, in the night of their coming together, was making its abode [in the neighbourhood of] الدبران, which is inauspicious: (O, TA:) or [the latter hemistich, as J relates it, app. on the authority of A 'Obeyd, is thus,] بِضَيْقَةِ بَيْنَ النَّجْمِ وَالدَّبَرَانِ from الضَّيْقَةُ as syn. with الضَّيْقُ; (S;) and as AA relates the verse, it is [thus] with kesr to the ة in بضيقة; the word not being made the [proper] name of a place, but the meaning being بضيقة مَا بَيْنَ النجم والدبران [i. e. in the narrow space between the Pleiades and Ed-Debarán]. (TA.) b4: ضَيْقَةٌ is also the fem. of ضَيْقٌ the contracted form of ضَيِّقٌ. (S, O, TA.) ضِيقَةٌ: see the next preceding paragraph, former half, in two places.

ضُوقَى and ضِيقَى are fems. of ↓ أَضْيَقُ; (S, O, K;) the former [as well as the latter] is [originally] of the measure فُعْلَى, (TA,) [each being originally ضُيْقَى,] the ى being changed in the former into و because quiescent and preceded by dammeh: (S, O, TA:) the former occurs in the saying of a woman to her fellowwife, contending with her for superiority, مَا أَنْتِ بِالخُورَى وَلَا الضُّوقَى حِرًا [Thou art not the better nor the narrower &c.; خُورَى being in like manner fem. of أَخْيَرُ]. (TA.) Accord. to Kr, the former is pl. of ↓ ضَيِّقَةٌ; (TA;) and he says the same of ضِيقَى also; (TA voce كَيِّسٌ;) but ISd says, I know not how this may be, for فُعْلَى is not of the measures of pls. except of the kind of pl. which differs not from its sing. otherwise than in the latter's having ة [as an affix], like بُهْمَاةٌ and بُهْمَى [q. v.]. (TA in the present art.) ضِيَاقٌ: see مِضْيَاقٌ.

ضَائِقٌ: see the next paragraph, in four places.

ضَيِّقٌ and ↓ ضَيْقٌ, (S, O, K,) the latter a contraction of the former, (S,) the two being like هَيِّنٌ and هَيْنٌ [&c.], (O,) and ↓ ضَائِقٌ, (K,) Narrow, or strait: (S, * O, * K:) or ضَيِّقٌ is an epithet used in this sense when permanence [of the attribute] is meant [and so therefore is its contracted form]; and ↓ ضَائِقٌ as meaning [being, or becoming, narrow or strait; or] temporarily narrow or strait: (Msb:) the fem. of the first (TA) and of the second (S, O, TA) [as well as of the third] is with ة: (S, O, TA:) see also ضُوقَى: [the pls. of the first and second, applied to rational beings, is ضَيِّقُونَ and ضَيْقُونَ, like مَيِّتُونَ and مَيْتُونَ: and] the pl. of ↓ ضَائِقٌ is ضَاقَةً. (TA.) You say شَىْءٌ ضَيِّقٌ (O, Msb) and ↓ ضَيْقٌ (O) A narrow, or strait, thing. (O, * Msb.) And صَدْرٌ ضَيِّقٌ (assumed tropical:) A strait, or contracted, mind; (Msb;) and نَفْسٌ ضَيِّقَةٌ [meaning the same]. (TA.) And بِهِ صَدْرُكَ ↓ وَضَائقٌ, in the Kur [xi. 15], means (assumed tropical:) And thy mind is temporarily strait or contracted thereby. (Msb.) ضَيِّقٌ signifies also (assumed tropical:) Niggardly, or avaricious. (KL.) [And ضَيِّقُ الخُلُقِ (assumed tropical:) Narrow, or illiberal, in disposition.]

أَضْيَقُ [More, and most, narrow or strait or contracted]: (S, O, K:) see its fems. ضُوقَى and ضِيقَى, above. [See also three exs. voce اِسْتٌ, in art. سته.]

مَضِيقٌ A narrow, or strait, place: (K:) [a pass: a place of narrowness or straitness] of land; and of the vulva; and (assumed tropical:) [a place, or state, of straitness] of life, or of the means of subsistence: (K in art. ازم:) and (tropical:) a narrow, or strait, affair or case: (K, TA:) pl. مَضَايِقُ. (TA.) أَمْرٌ مُضَيَّقٌ (assumed tropical:) [An affair rendered strait]. (TA.) مِضْيَاقٌ, (JK, and O on the authority of Ibn-'Abbád, and TA,) or ↓ ضِيَاقٌ, like كِتَابٌ [in measure], thus in all the copies of the K, (TA,) [but probably, I think, taken from a mistranscription,] A pessary (دُرْجَةٌ) of rag and perfume, with which a woman endeavours to constrict her vagina (تَسْتَضِيقُ بِهَا). (JK, Ibn-'Abbád, O, K.)

جدر

1 جَدَرَ, (K,) aor. ـُ (TA,) He made a جِدَار [app. here meaning a wall of enclosure]; syn. حَوَّطَ: (K:) or he built a جدار: and he founded it. (Ham p. 818.) A2: He concealed himself by means of a جِدار [or wall]. (Th, K.) A3: جُدِرَ, (A, K,) inf. n. جَدْرٌ; (TA;) and جَدَرَ, (Lh, K,) aor. ـُ inf. n. جَدْرٌ; (Lh, TA;) and ↓ جُدِّرَ, (S, (A, K,) which last some disallow, because this form denotes repetition, and the verb signifies the having a disease that befalls but once in a man's life; (MF;) He (a man, S, or a child, A) had, or became attacked by, جُدَرِىّ [or small-pox]. (S, A, K.) [And جَدَرَ الجُدَرِىُّ The small-pox came forth, or broke out; as in the TK: for its inf. n.]

جَدْرٌ signifies the coming forth, or breaking out, of the جُدَرِىّ. (K.) A4: جَدُرَ, aor. ـُ inf. n. جَدَارَةٌ, He, or it, was, or became, adapted, disposed, apt, meet, suited, suitable, fitted, fit, competent, proper, or worthy. (K.) You say, جَدُرَ بِهِ [and لَهُ ] He was, or became, adapted, disposed, apt, &c., for it. (A.) [And جَدُرَ أَنْ يَفْعَلَ كَذَا He was, or became, adapted, disposed, apt, &c., for doing such a thing.

A2: جُدِّرَ: see 1.4 مَا أَجْدَرَهُ بِالخَيْرِ [and لِلْخَيْرِ] How well adapted or disposed, or how apt, meet, suited, suitable, fitted, fit, competent, or proper, is he for what is good! or how worthy is he of what is good! (A.) And مَا أَجْدَرَهُ أَنْ يَفْعَلَ ذٰلِكَ, and أَجْدِرْ بِهِ, How well adapted or disposed, or how apt, meet, &c., is he for doing that! or how worthy is he to do that! (TA.) The usage of جَدُرَ, signifying “ he was, or became, adapted, &c.,” refutes the assertion of certain grammarians that these two forms of the verb deviate from general rule. (MF.) 8 اجتدر بِنَآءَهُ; and ↓ جدّرهُ, inf. n. تَجْدِيرٌ (K) and مُجَدَّرٌ; (TA;) He raised his building high; or constructed it firmly and strongly, and raised it high; syn. شَيَّدَهُ. (K, TA.) [In the CK, we read اِجتَدَرَ بِنَاهُ, as though the pronoun ه referred to the word جِدَار, which precedes; and thus the verb signified “ he built a wall; ” but it is shown in the TA that the right reading is that given above.] Q. Q. 1 جَنْدَرَ الكِتَابَ He passed the pen over what had become obliterated, of the writing, (S, K,) in order that it might become distinct. (S.) and جندر الثَّوْبَ He renewed the variegated, or figured, work of the garment, or piece of cloth, after it had gone. (S, K.) [J says,] I think it to be an arabicized word.

(S, Msb, K.) b2: The basis, or foundation, of a wall: (K:) and the side of a wall: (Lh, K:) pl., in both these senses, جُدُورٌ. (TA.) الجَدْرُ is applied to The [wall called the]

حَطِيم (A, K) of the Kaabeh; (K;) because in it is a part of the [original] foundations of the house: (TA:) and it is also called الحِجْرُ.

(TA.) You say, هُوَ جَدِيرٌ بِكَذَا (S, A, Msb) and لِكَذَا (TA) He is adapted, disposed, apt, meet, &c., for such a thing; (S, A, Msb;) and [naturally] drawn to it. (Ham p. 707.) And أَنْتَ جَدِيرٌ أَنْ تَفْعَلَ كَذَا Thou art adapted, disposed, apt, meet, &c., for doing such a thing; or worthy to do it. (S.) And أَنْ يَفْعَلَ ↓ إِنَّهُ لَمَجْدَرَةٌ, (K,) and in like manner you say of two persons, and of more, (TA,) and ↓ مَجْدُورٌ, (K.) Verily he is one who is adapted, disposed, apt, meet, &c., for doing [such a thing]; or worthy to do [it]; syn. مَخْلَقَةٌ. (K.) [↓ مَجْدَرَةٌ properly signifies A place, and hence a thing, an affair, and a person, adapted, disposed, apt, meet, &c.; like مَخْلَقَةٌ and مَحْرَاةٌ: and ↓ مَجْدُورٌ, Made, or called, adapted or disposed &c., though said by Aboo-Jaafar Er-Ru- ásee to be a pass. part. n. having no verb.] Also بِذٰلِكَ ↓ إِنَّهَا لَمَجْدَرَةٌ Verily she is one who is adapted, disposed, apt, &c., for that: and بِأَنْ تَفْعَلَ ذٰلِكَ for doing that: and in like manner you say of two persons, and of more.
