بكء

4 قَدْ أَبْكَأَ الدَّرَّ ذ , occurring in a verse, [see Ham p. 758,] is asserted by Aboo-Riyásh to mean He (the milker) has found the milk to be little in quantity; like as أَحْمَدَهُ signifies “ he found him to be such as is praised: ” ISd holds that it may signify he has made the milk to be little in quantity [app. by his niggardness]; but he confesses his not having heard the verb used in this sense by any one. (TA.) -A2- ابكأ also signifies (assumed tropical:) He (a man) became poor; or in the condition of having little, or no, wealth. (TA.) [See also بَكُؤَ.]
