ثخن

Root entry · 1 derived lemma

ثَخَنٌ ثخن ثخنن i. q. نقلة [app. a mistranscription for ثَقْلَةٌ or ثَقَلَةٌ, meaning (assumed tropical:) A heaviness in the chest or body, or a heaviness and langour, or a heaviness on the heart ]; as also ↓ ثَخَنَةٌ: El-'Ajjáj says, حَتَّى يَعِجَّ ثَخَنًا مَنْ عَجْعَجَا [app. meaning So that he who cries out cries out by reason of heaviness, &c.]: (TA: [this saying is also cited in the S, in art. عج; but there, in one copy, I find ثَخِنًا; and in another, ثِخَنًا; and in both, مِنْ instead of مَنْ:]) and hence he received the surname of العَجَّاج: (S and TA in art. عج:) so says IDrd. (TA in that art.) [Golius explains ثَخَنٌ as meaning “ crassities, spissitudo; ” on the anthority of Ibn-Maaroof and Ibn-Beytár; but I suspect that he found ثَخَنٌ in their works written for ثُخْنٌ or ثِخَنٌ, both inf. ns. of ثَخُنَ.]
