(S, K.) ― -b2- نَقَشَ فى خَاتَمِهِ كَذَا, and عَلَى فَصِّ خَاتَمِهِ, (A,) inf. n. as above, (K,) [ He engraved upon his signet-ring such a thing, and upon the stone of his signet-ring: and نَقَشَ also signifies he marked with a cutting or a pointed instrument: he sculptured a thing in any manner.] ― -b3- نَقَشَ الرَّحَا (tropical:) He pecked the mill-stone with a مِنْقَار; syn. نَقَرَهَا. (A, TA.) ― -b4- نَقَشَ, inf. n. as above, also signifies He, or it, scratched, lacerated, or wounded in the outer skin. (TA.) They said, كَأَنَّ وَجْهَهُ نُقِشَ بِقَتَادَةٍ [ As though his face were scratched, or lacerated, by a tragacanth-bush ]; syn. خُدِشَ: relating to hatefulness, and austerity or moroseness of countenance, (M, TA,) and anger. (M.) ― -b5- نَقْشُ العِذْقِ signifies The striking the raceme of dates with thorns, in order that the dates may ripen: (S, K:) or and their consequently ripening. (AA.) And one says, نُقِشَ العِذْقُ, meaning, The raceme of dates had specks apparent in it, in consequence of ripening. (S.) ― -b6- And [hence, perhaps,] نَقْشٌ is used as (tropical:) syn. with جِمَاعٌ (S, A, Sgh, K,) accord. to AA, (S,) or IAar; (Sgh;) نَقَشَ signifying (tropical:) Inivit puellam. (T, K.) [This signification is mentioned in the A among those which are proper; but in the TA it is said, to be tropical.] -A2- Also نَقَشَ, (S, M, A, Msb,) aor. as above, (M, TA,) and so the inf. n., (S, M, Msb, K,) He extracted, or drew, or pulled, out, or forth, a thorn (S, M, A, Msb, K) from his foot, (S, M,) with the مِنْقَش or مِنْقَاش; (Msb, K; *) as also ↓ انتقش: (S, M, A, K:) thought by A 'Obeyd to be from المُنَاقَشَةُ; but others say the reverse: (TA:) and in like manner, bones from a wound in the head: (S, K:) and he plucked out (S, A,) hair, (A,) with the مِنْقَاش; (S, A;) as also ↓ انتقش. (A.) A certain poet says, (namely, Yezeed Ibn-Maksam [?] EthThakafee, O in art. شوك,) لَا تَنْقُشَنَّ بِرِجْلِ غَيْرِكَ شَوْكَةً فَتَقِى بِرِجْلِكَ رِجْلَ مَنْ قَدْ شَاكَهَا [ Do not thou by any means extract from the foot of another a thorn, and so preserve, by (risking) thy foot, the foot of him who has pierced himself therewith ]: the [former] ب is put in the place of عَنْ: he says, do not thou extract from the foot of another a thorn and put it in thy foot: (TA:) or مَنْ شَاكَهَا means who has entered among the thorns. (S and O, in art. شوك.) And it is said in a trad. of Aboo-Hureyreh, عَثَرَ فَلَا ا@نْتَعَشَ وَشِيكَ فَلَا ا@نْتَقَشَ [ May he stumble, and not rise again; and may he be pierced with a thorn, and not extract the thorn ]: (M, TA: *) the words meaning an imprecation. (TA.)

(TA.) ― -b3- Hence also, نَقَشَ عَنِ الشَّىْءِ, (TK,) inf. n. as above, (IDrd, K,) He explored the thing to the utmost. (IDrd, K, TK.) ― -b4- [Hence also,] مَا نَقَشَ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا (assumed tropical:) He did not obtain from him anything: but the word commonly known is نَتَشَ. (M, TA.) See also 8.
