(AA.) Pl. نَشْءٌ and نَشَأٌ (S, K [or these two are rather quasi-pl. ns.,] or the ↓ former is an inf. n. used as an epithet, Aboo-Moosa,) and نَاشِئُونَ (AHeyth) and نَواشِئُ: (TA:) or the last is a pl. of ناشئ as applied to a girl. (MF.) Lth says that ↓ نَشْءٌ signifies Young people; or youths; and is used in the sing. also: ex. هُوَ نَشْءُ سَوْءٍ He is a bad youth: and he says that he had never heard ناشئ used as an epithet for a girl. Fr says that the ء of the pl. نَشْءٌ is sometimes suppressed, and they say, in the nom. نَشُو صدْقٍ [ Excellent youths ]; acc., نَشَا صدق; gen. نَشِى صدق. (TA.) ― -b2- نَاشِئٌ Clouds not completely collected together. Hence, it is said, is derived the expression نَشَأَ الصَّبِىُّ; which is therefore tropical.
