3 خاصمهُ خاصم خاصمه خاصمة , inf. n. مُخَاصَمَةٌ (S, Msb, K) and خِصَامٌ (S, Msb) and [quasi-inf. n.] خُصُومَةٌ, (K,) the last said in the S to be a simple subst., (TA,) He contended with him in an altercation, disputed with him, or litigated with him; (K, TA;) i. q. نَازَعَهُ: (Mgh and Msb and K in art. نزع:) accord. to El-Harállee, الخِصَامُ signifies the saying which the listener is made to hear, and which is made to enter his ear-hole, such as may cause him to refrain, or desist, from his assertion, and his plea, or claim. (TA.) You say, خَاصَمْتُهُ ↓ فَخَصَمْتُهُ, (S, Mgh, Msb, K, *) aor. of the latter أَخْصِمُهُ, with kesr, (S, K, *) or أَخْصُمُهُ, with damm, (Mgh, Msb,) or not with damm, (S,) or both these forms of the aor. are used, accord. to AHei; the latter agreeable with analogy; (MF;) the former anomalous; for the regular aor. of an unaugmented sound verb in a case of this kind is with damm, (S, K,) as in the instance of عَالَمْتُهُ فَعَلَمْتُهُ, aor. أَعْلُمُهُ; (S;) if it has not a faucial letter (S, K) for its medial radical, (K,) in which case it is with fet-h, as in the instance of فَاخَرْتُهُ فَفَخَرْتُهُ, aor. أَفْخَرُهُ, (S, K,) accord. to the opinion of Ks, but this is contr. to the opinion generally held: (MF:) the inf. n. of خَصَمْتُهُ is خَصْمٌ: (S, * TA:) and the meaning is, [ I contended with him in an altercation, or I disputed, or litigated, with him, and ] I overcame him in the altercation, &c. (Mgh, Msb.) -A2- خاصمهُ also signifies He put it in, or by, the خُصْم, i. e. edge, or side, of the bed. (TA.)
