خمس

خَمِيسٌ خميس : see خُمُسٌ: ― -b2- and مَخْمُوسٌ, in two places. ― -b3- An army; because consisting of five parts, namely, the van, the body, the right wing, the left wing, and the rear; (S, A, K;) or because the spoils are divided into fifths among it; but this latter assertion requires consideration; (ISd, MF;) for this division of the spoils is an affair of the Muslim law, whereas خميس [thus applied] is an old term: (MF:) or an army having numerous weapons; syn. جَيْشٌ خَشِنٌ. (TA.) ― -b4- يَوْمُ الخَمِيسِ, (S, Msb, K,) and simply الخَمِيسُ, Thursday; the fifth day of the week; thus used for الخَامِسُ, in like manner as الدَّبَرَانُ is applied to the star [that follows the Pleiades, for الدَّابِرُ]: (TA:) pl. [of pauc.] أَخْمِسَةٌ and [of mult.] أَخْمِسَاآءُ (S, Msb, K) and أَخَامِسُ. (Fr, TA.) AZ used to say, مَضَى الخَمِيسُ بِمَا فِيهِ [ Thursday passed with what happened in it ], making it sing. and masc.: but Abu-l-Jarráh used to say, مَضَىالخَمِيسُ بِمَ فِيهِنَّ, making it pl. and fem., and using it as a n. of number. (Lh, TA.) It has no dim. (Sb, S in art. امس.) -A2- See also خِمْسٌ, last signification. -A3- مَا أَدْرِى أَىُّ خَمِيسِ النَّاسِ هُوَ means I know not what company of men it is. (Ibn-' Abbád, Sgh, K.)
