نض

Root entry · 1 derived lemma

R. Q. 1 نَضْنَضَ ذ , (K, TA,) or ↓ نَضَّضُ, (so in the CK,) said of a man, (TA,) (assumed tropical:) His نَاضّ, (K, TA,) i. e. what was apparent of his property, (TA,) became much, or abundant. (K, TA.) -A2- He moved about his tongue; as also تَصْنَصَ; but the ض in the former is not a substitute for the ص in the latter, as some assert it to be: (L, TA:) the verb is used in this sense in speaking of a man; (TA:) and of a serpent; (S *, A, K;) inf. n. نَضْنَضَةٌ: (S, but in one copy نَضِيضَةٌ:) and accord. to Ibn-'Abbád, نَضْنَضَةٌ [the inf. n.] signifies the making, or uttering, of a sound: or the sound itself; (صَوْت;) [app. by a motion of the tongue; ] of the serpent; and hence, [accord. to some,] the epithet نَضْنَاضٌ, as applied to a serpent: (TA:) or this epithet is from the phrase, (IAar.) نَصْنَضَ فُلَانًا, (IAar, K,) ↓ نَضَّضَهُ, (so in the CK,) He put such a one in motion, (IAar,) and he disquieted, disturbed, or unsettled, him; or removed him from his place. (IAar, K.) [In one place, in the TA, اسنضّ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا is made to signify the same; but this is doubtless a mistake, arising from an omission in transcription.] You say also, نَضْنَضَ البَعِيرُ ثَفنَاته The camel moved about his ثَفِنَات [q. v.], and made them to be in contact with the ground; or this is [نَصْنَصَ,] with ص. (TA.)
