لح

هُوَ ا@بْنُ عَمِّى لَحًّا ذ [ He is my cousin on the father's side, ] closely related: (S, K:) from the phrase لَحِحَتْ عَيْنُهُ. (S.) Here لحّا is put in the acc. case as a denotative of state, because what precedes it is determinate. (S.) And you say هُوَ ا@بْنُ عَمٍّ لَحٍّ [ He is a cousin on the father's side, ] closely related, (S, K,) in an indeterminate phrase employing لَحٍّ as an epithet to عَمٍّ. (S.) You say the same in the case of the fem. and dual and pl.; (S;) making no difference between the sing. and dual and pl. and fem. (L.) Lh says, that one says, [of two persons who are cousins, one to the other,] هُمَا ا@بْنَا عَمٍّ لَحٍّ, and لَحًّا; and in like manner هما ابنا خَالَةٍ; but not هما ابنا خَالٍ لَحًّا, nor ابنا عَمَّةٍ لَحًّا. (L.) When the ابن عمّ is not in the state termed لَحّ, but is of the عَشِيرَة, you say هُوَ ا@بْنُ عَمِّ الكَلَالَةِ, and ابنُ عَمٍّ كَلَالَةٌ. (S, K.) [See also دِنْيًا; and the contr., ظْهرًا.]
