Root entry · 1 derived lemma

1 رَثَأَ ذ , (S, M, K,) aor. رَثَاَ , (M, K,) inf. n. رَثْءٌ, (S, M,) He drew milk from the udder upon sour milk, so that it thickened, (S, K,) and became what is termed رَثِيْئَة: (K:) or he mixed fresh milk with sour milk: or, as some say, he made milk to become what is termed رَثِيْئَة: (M:) or it has this last signification, and also signifies he mixed [ in an absolute sense ]. (K.) [Az says,] I heard an Arab of the desert, of Benoo-Mudarris, say to a servant of his, اِرْثَأْ لِى لُبَيْنَةً أَشْرَبُهَا [ Mix thou for me a little milk so as to make رَثِيْئَة, which I will drink ]. (T.) And you say, رَثَأَ القَوْمَ (M, K) and رَثَأَ لَهُمْ (M) He made for the party رَثِيْئَة. (M, K.) ― -b2- [Hence,] هُمْ يَرْثَؤُونَ رَأْيَهُمْ, (S,) and رَثَؤُوا رَأْيَهُمْ, (M,) inf. n. as above, (assumed tropical:) They confuse, or confound, and they confused, or confounded, their judgment, or opinion. (S, M. [See also 8.]) ― -b3- And [hence also, perhaps, as رثيئة is said to be beaten with a مِجْدَح in the mixing of it,] He beat (K) with a staff, or stick. (TA.) -A2- It (anger) became stilled, or appeased. (K.) -A3- He (a camel) became affected with the disease termed رَثْأَة. (K.) -A4- Also, (M, K,) inf. n. as above, (M,) a dial. var. of رَثَى, meaning He eulogized a man after his death [ in verse or otherwise; or he wept for him, or over him, enumerating his good qualities or actions ]: (M, K: *) and in like manner one says of a woman eulogizing her husband after his death; inf. n. مَرْثِئَةٌ: (M:) ISk mentions an Arab woman's saying رَثَأْتُ زَوْجِى بِأَبْيَاتٍ [ I eulogized my husband after his death with verses ]; pronouncing the verb with ء; but it is originally without ء: (S, Sgh:) Fr says that her doing this arose from her finding them to say رَثَأْتُ اللَّبَنَ and her therefore supposing المَرْثِيَة to be from the same source: (TA in the present art.:) or, accord. to Fr, their chasteness of speech sometimes induced them to pronounce with ء that which is [properly] without ء; and thus they said رَثَأْتُ المَيِّتَ and لَبَّأْتُ بِالحَجِّ and حَلَّأْتُ السَّوِيقَ. (TA in art. رثو.)
