عضب

1 عَضَبَهُ ذ , (S, O, Msb, K,) aor. عَضِبَ , (Msb, K,) inf. n. عَضْبٌ, (S, A, O, &c.,) He cut, or cut off, him, or it. (S, A, * Mgh, * O, Msb, K.) مَا لَهُ عَضَبَهُ ا@للّٰهُ, meaning [ What aileth him? ] may God cut off (O, TA) his arm and his leg, or his hand and his foot, (O,) or his arms and his legs, or his hands and his feet, is a form of imprecation used by the Arabs. (TA.) And hence, (O,) one says, اـِنَّ الحَاجَةَ لَيَعْضِبُهَا طَلَبُهَا قَبْلَ وَقْتِهَا (assumed tropical:) Verily the seeking of the object of want before its time assuredly cuts it off, or precludes it, and mars it: a prov. (O, TA.) And اـِنَّكَ لَتَعْضِبُنِى عَنْ حَاجَتِى (assumed tropical:) Verily thou cuttest me off from [ the attainment of ] the object of my want. (TA.) ― -b2- And [hence] (assumed tropical:) He reviled him; (A, * K;) and (A) so عَضَبَهُ بِلِسَانِهِ. (S, A, O.) ― -b3- And He beat him, or struck him, (O, K,) with a staff, or stick. (O.) ― -b4- And He thrust him, or pierced him, (K,) with a spear. (TK.) [But in the O and TA, عَضَبْتُهُ بِالرُّمْحِ is expl. by the words هُوَ أَنْ تَشْغَلَهُ عَنْهُ; and the meaning app. is, I occupied him so as to divert him with the spear; though this meaning would be expressed more agreeably with usage by saying هو ان يشغله عنه; or rather هو ان تَشْغَلَهُ عَنْكَ, which, I think, is the right reading.] ― -b5- And It (disease, O) rendered him weak, or infirm: (S, O:) and (O) deprived him of the power of motion. (A, * O, K.) You say, عَضَبَتْهُ الزَّمَانَةُ, aor. as above, (O, TA,) and so the inf. n., (TA,) meaning [ Disease of long continuance, or want of some one or more of the limbs, ] deprived him of the power of motion: and AHeyth says, it [in the O هُوَ (so that it does not refer to الزمانة), and in the TA العضب,] is الشَّلَلُ and الخَبْلُ and العَرَجُ [ a state of privation of the power of motion, and unsoundness, and lameness; app. meaning that these are the effects denoted by the phrase عضبته الزمانة]. (O, TA.) ― -b6- See also 4. -A2- عَضَبَ, (O, K,) aor. and inf. n. as above, (K,) signifies also He returned (O, K) عَلَيْهِ [ against him ]. (O.) -A3- عَضِبَ, said of a ram, (K,) or عَضِبَت, said of a شَاة [i. e. sheep or goat, male or female], (S, O, Msb,) aor. عَضَبَ , (Msb, K,) inf. n. عَضَبٌ, (S, O, Msb,) He, or she, had the inner [ part of the ] horn broken: (S, O, Msb, K:) or had one of the horns broken. (S, O, Msb.) ― -b2- العَضَبُ is mostly used in relation to the horn: but sometimes, in relation to the ear: (A 'Obeyd, TA:) one says of a شاة [expl. above], and of a she-camel, عَضِبَت, inf. n. عَضَبٌ, meaning He, or she, had her ear slit, or had a slit ear: (Msb:) [or had half, or a third, of the ear cut off; for] accord. to IAar, العَضَبُ in relation to the ear is when half, or a third, thereof has gone. (O.) -A4- عَضُبَ, aor. عَضُبَ , inf. n. عُضُوبَةٌ (S, O, K) and عُضُوبٌ, (O, K,) said of a man's tongue, (tropical:) It was, or became, sharp in speech; (S, O, * K, TA;) being likened to a sharp sword.
