R. Q. 1 بَأْبَأَهُ ذ , (Lth, T, S, M, K,) and بأبأ بِهِ, (Fr, M, K,) inf. n. بَأْبَاآَةُ (Lth, T, M) and بَئْبَاآءٌ; (Fr, M;) [as also بأَبِى; see art. بِأَبِى أَنْتَ;] He said to him, بِأَبِي, (Fr, M,) or بأَبَا, (M,) or بِأَبِى أَنْتَ, (Lth, T, K,) [all meaning With my father mayest thou be ransomed! or] meaning أَفْدِيكَ بِأَبِى [ I will ransom thee with my father ]; (Lth, T;) or he said to him, بِأَبِى أَنْتَ وَأُمِّى [ With my father mayest thou be ransomed, and with my mother! or I will ransom thee &c.; see art. ابو]; (S;) the current phrase of the Arabs being that which includes both parents: (TA:) i. e., a man said so to another man, (Lth, T, M,) or to a child; (Fr, S, M;) and in like manner to his horse, for having saved him from some accident: (IAar, T:) the verb is derived from بِأَبِى. (Lth, T, M.) Hence البِأَبْ, in an ex. cited voce أَبٌ, in art. ابو, q. v.; (M;) or البِئَبْ; (TA in art. ابو;) or البِيَبْ. (S in that art.) ― -b2- And [hence,] بَأبَؤُوهُ They made a show of treating him with graciousness, courtesy, or blandishment; as also عَلَيْهِ ↓ تَبَأْبَؤُوا.

(M.) ― -b3- [And hence, perhaps,] ↓ بَأْبَأٌ [or, more probably, ↓ بَأْبَاآءٌ, with medd, agreeably with analogy, used as an inf. n.,] The chiding of the cat, or act of chiding the cat; (AA, T, Sgh;) also termed غَسٌّ.

بُؤْبُؤٌ ذ The source, origin, race, root, or stock, syn. أَصْلٌ, (AA, Sh, T, S, M, K,) of a man, (Sh, T,) whether noble or base. (AA, T.) You say, هُوَ كَرِيمُ البُؤْبُؤِ He is of generous, or noble, origin; lit., generous, or noble, of origin. (TK.) And فُلَانٌ فِىبُؤْبُؤِ الكَرَمِ Such a one is of [a race] the source (أَصْل) of generosity, or nobleness. (S. [In the PS, من is here put in the place of فى: but فى is often used in phrases of the same kind and meaning as that above, in the sense of مِنْ.]) IKh cites from Jereer, فِى يُؤْبُؤِ المَجْدِ وَبُحْبُوحِ الكَرَمْ [ Of a race the source of glory, and the very heart of generosity, or nobleness ]: but Aboo-'Alee El- Kálee quotes the words thus; فِى ضِئْضِئِ المَجْدِ وَ بُؤْبُوْءِ الكَرَمْ [which may be rendered, of a race the source of glory, and the very root of generosity ]; whence it appears that بُؤْبُوءٌ is a dial. var. of بُؤْبُؤٌ in the sense here given. (TA.) ― -b2- The middle of a thing; (K;) [and app. the heart, or very heart, thereof; the middle as being the best part of a thing;] like بُحْبُوحٌ. (TA.) ― -b3- [Hence, perhaps,] The pupil, or apple, or the image that is seen reflected in the black, (عَيْر AA, T, or اـِنْسَان K,) of the eye. (AA, T, K.) Whence the saying, هُوَ أَعَزُّ عَلَىِّ مِنْ بُؤْبُؤِ عَيْنِى [ He is dearer to me than the apple of my eye; a saying common in the present day, with the substitution of اـِنْسَان for بُؤْبُؤ]. (TA.) ― -b4- A generous, or noble, (ISk, T,) or a clever, an ingenious, or an accomplished, or a well-bred, or an elegant, (M, K,) and a light, an active, or a sprightly, (M,) lord, master, chief, or personage: (ISk, T, M, K:) fem. with ة. (IKh, TA.) ― -b5- Also, (AA, T, S, * [but I find it only in one of three copies of the S,]) or ↓ بُؤْبُؤْءٌ, and ↓ بَأْبَاآءٌ, (K,) the last from the M, (TA, [but it is not in the M as transcribed in the TT,]) A learned man (AA, T, S, K) who teaches; (AA, T;) but the teaching of others is not a condition required in the application of the epithet; (TA;) like سَرْسُورٌ. (S [in which this last word is evidently given as a syn.: but in the K it is given to show the form, only, of بُؤْبُوْءٌ].) ― -b6- Also The body of a locust, (K,) without the head and legs. (TA.) ― -b7- And, accord. to the K, The head, or uppermost part, of a vessel in which [the collyrium called ] كُحْل is kept: but it will appear, in art. يأ, that this is [perhaps] a mistranscription for يُؤْيُؤٌ. (TA.)

بَابِلِىٌّ اـبل اـبلي باـبلي بابل بابلى بابلي Of, or belonging to, or relating to, بَابِل [i. e. Babel ], a place [ well known ] in El-'Irák: it is an epithet applied to enchantment, [which is said to have been there taught by two fallen angels, Hároot and Mároot, (see the Kur ii. 96,)] and to wine. (S, K, TA.) ― -b2- And hence, (TA,) Poison: [and, accord to the CK, wine; ] as also ↓ بَابِلِيَّةٌ. (K, TA.) ― -b3- In the original language of the place above mentioned, البَابِلِىُّ is a name of المُشْتَرِى [ The planet Jupiter ]. (TA.)

بَابِليَّةٌ اـبلي باـبليه باـبلية بابلي بابليه بابلية : see above.

بَابُونَجٌ بابونج [from the Persian بَابُونَهْ Chamomile; or chamomile-flowers: both called by these names in the present day]: a certain herb, of several different colours; yellow-flowered, and whiteflowered, and purple-flowered: (Avicenna [Ibn-Seenà] i. 139:) i. q. أُقْحُوَانٌ: (S, Msb, K, all in art قحو:) i. e. the اقحوان is the بابونج with the Persians: (Msb in that art.:) or the flower of the اقحوان: (S in art. قرص:) or of the yellow اقحوان, (TA in art. قرص,) when it has become dry: (S, TA, both in art. قرص:) a well-known flower, of great utility, (K, TA,) or of which the oil is of great utility: (CK:) commonly known in El-Yemen by the name of مونس [app. مُؤْنِسٌ, because of its pleasant odour, or its medical properties]. (TA.)

بَأْجٌ ذ , also pronounced بَاجٌ, without ء, (IAar, S, Msb, K,) but the former alone is mentioned by Th in the Fs, and is the chaste word, (TA,) arabicized, from the Persian بَاهَا, (S,) A sort, or species, (S, K,) of food, or viands. (S.) Hence the saying, اِجْعَلِ البَأْجَات بَاـْجاً وَاحِدًا [ Make thou the sorts, or species, of food, or viands, to be one sort, or species ]: (S, K:) occurring in a trad., in which it is without ء in each case, accord. to IDrst: several different sorts of food being brought to 'Omar, he asked respecting them, and it was said, [They are] سِكْبَاج and زِرْبَاج and اـِسْفِيدْبَاج; whereupon he ordered that the bowls should be brought, and their contents were emptied into one; he saying the words above. (Marginal note in a copy of the S.) IKh says that a man would bring various sorts [of food], and one would say, اِجْعَلْهَا بأْجاً وَاحدِا [ Make thou them to be one sort ]. (TA.) The pl. is [بَأْجَاتٌ, as shown above, as though the sing. were بَأْجَةٌ, and] أَبْوَاجٌ. (Msb, TA.) لَأَجْعَلَنَّ النَّاسَ كُلَّهُمْ بَأْجًا وَاحِدًا is [likewise] a saying of 'Omar, (Msb, TA,) meaning [ I will assuredly make the people, all of them, to be ] one body or assemblage; بَأْجٌ signifying a state of assembling, or collecting together: (Kz, TA:) or [ of ] one uniform way or mode or manner, (Msb, TA,) as El-Fihree says in the Expos. of the Fs, on the authority of ISd in the book entitled El-'Awees; (TA;) i. e., in respect of gifts, or allowances: (Msb:) accord. to IAar, it is from بَأْجٌ or بَاجٌ signifying a uniform line of road. (TA.) You say also, النَّاسُ بَأْجٌ وَاحِدٌ The people are [ as ] one thing. (TA.) And هُمْ فِى أَمْرٍ بَأْجٍ They are [ in one and the same, or] in an equal, or a uniform, case. (K.) And جَعَلَ الكَلَامَ بَأْجاً وَاخِدًا He made the speech, or language, to be [ uniform, or] of one mode, or manner. (TA.) And اِجْعَلْ هٰذا الشَّىْءَ بَأْجًا وَاحِدًا Make thou this thing to be [ uniform, or] of one way, or mode, or manner. (ISk.) And اِجْعَلِ الأَمْرَ بَأْجًا وَاحِدًا Make thou the affair, or case, [ uniform, or] one uniform thing. (Fr.)

بَاذَنْجَانٌ ذ , [or بَاذِنْجَانٌ, commonly pronounced in the present day بَادنْجَان and بَيْدِنْجَان and بِيدِنْجَان, from the Persian بَادِنْكَانْ,] a word of well-known meaning, often mentioned by the author of the K, [in explaining the words أَنَبٌ and حَدَقٌ and مَغْدٌ and وَغْدٌ,] but not in its proper place in the lexicon. (TA.) [It signifies The solanum melongena, mad-apple, or egg-plant; both the black, distinguished by the epithet أَسْوَدُ, and the white, distinguished by the epithet أَبْيَضُ. And the solanum lycopersicum, or solanum Aethiopicum; also called love-apple, and so by the Arabs, تُفَّاحٌ الحُبٌِّ; and golden apple, تُفَّاحٌ ذَهَبِىٌّ; and tomato; and distinguished from the former species by the epithet أَحْمَرُ, and by the appellation باذنجان قُوطَة.] ― -b2- [بَاذَنْجَانٌ تِرْيَاقِىٌّ Xanthium. ]

1 بَأَرَ ذ , (S, M, K,) aor. بَأََ , (M, K,) He sunk, or dug, (S, M, K,) a well; (S, M;) as also ↓ ابتأر. (M, K.) ― -b2- Also, aor. as above, inf. n. بَأْرٌ, He dug a [ hollow such as is termed ] بُؤْرَة, (AZ, S, M,) in which to cook. (AZ, S.) ― -b3- Also, (T, S, M, K,) aor. as above, (M, K,) and so the inf. n.; (M;) and ↓ ابتأر; (T, S, M, K;) He hid, or concealed, a thing: (T, M, K:) and he stored it, or laid it up, for a time of need. (T, S, K.) Hence a hollow dug in the ground is termed بُؤْرَةٌ. (T.) ― -b4- You say also, خَيْرًا ↓ ابتأر, (T, M, K,) and بَأَرَهُ, (M, K,) He did good beforehand: (T, M, K:) or, accord. to some, he, as it were, did good beforehand for himself, having laid it up, or concealed it, for himself: (T, TA:) so says El-Umawee: or he laid up for himself in store concealed good: (TA:) or he did good concealedly: (M, K:) and ائتبر signifies the same. (T, TA.)

4 ابأر فُلَانًا ذ He made, or he assigned, or appointed, (جَعَلَ,) for such a one, a well. (K.)

[of بِيرٌ] أَبْيَارٌ. (Msb.) The dim. is ↓ بُؤَيْرَةٌ. (Msb.)

بُؤْرَةٌ ذ A hollow, or hole, dug in the ground, (AZ, S, M, K,) in which to cook; also called اـِرَةٌ: (AZ, S:) or (M) a place in which fire is lighted. (M, K.) [See 1.] -A2- See also بَئِيرَةٌ.

بَأْزٌ ذ i. q. بَازٍ [which see in art. بزو; and بَازٌ]: pl. [of pauc.] أَبْؤُزٌ, and [of mult.] بُؤُوزٌ and بِئْزَانٌ. (K.) IJ holds that the أ is substituted for ا, and that it remains in ابؤز and بئزان like as is the case in أَعْيَادٌ [in which the ى is substituted for و and remains in the pl. because it is substituted for و in the sing. عِيدٌ]. (TA.)

1 بَؤُسَ ذ , aor. يَبْؤُسُ, (S, M, Msb, K,) inf. n. بَأْسٌ, (S, Msb, K,) or بَأْسَةٌ; (M; [so I find in a copy of the M, but perhaps it is a mistranscription for بَاآسَةٌ;]) and بَئِسَ, [aor. يَبْأَسُ,] inf. n. بَأْسٌ; (M;) He was, or became, mighty, or strong, in war or fight; (K;) courageous, or valiant: (M, Msb, K:) or very mighty or strong in war or fight. (AZ, S.) -A2- بَئْسُ, (S, M, Msb, K,) aor. يَبْأَسُ (S, M, K) and يَبْئِسُ, the latter extr., like يَنْعِمُ aor. of نَعِمَ, (M,) [and some other instances, (see حَسِبَ,)] inf. n. بُؤْسٌ (S, Msb, * K) and بُؤُوسٌ and بُؤْسَى (K) and بَأْسٌ (TA) and بَئيسٌ, (S, K,) [in measure] like أَمِيرٌ, (TA,) [accord. to the CK بِئْسٌ, which is a mistake,] and بَئِيسَى, (TS, TA,) incorrectly written in the copies of the K بِئْسَي; (TA;) or بَؤُسَ; (A;) or both these forms; (M;) He was, or became, in a state of distress; straitened in his means of subsistence, or in the conveniences of life; (M, Msb;) in a state of poverty: (M, A, Msb, * TA:) or in a state of pressing want: (S, K, TA:) and بَؤُسَ, inf. n. بَاآسَةٌ and بَئِيسٌ, whence the subst. بَؤْسَى, he was, or became, in a state of trial, or affliction: (M:) and [in like manner,] ↓ أَبْأَسَ, (inf. n. اـِبْاآسٌ,S,) distress, or poverty, or misfortune, or calamity, (البَأْسَاآءُ,) befell him. (IAar, S, * M, TA.) -A3- بِئْسَ, also written بَئِسَ and بِئِسَ and بَأْسَ, (S, K,) is a word of dispraise or blame, (S,) implying all kinds of dispraise or blame, (TA,) [or superlative dispraise or blame; signifying, Very evil or bad is he, or it: or superlatively evil or bad is he, or it: ] contr. of نِعمَ: (S, M, TA:) a pret. verb, imperfectly inflected, (S, K,) like نِعْمَ, (S,) [having only one variation of form, namely, the fem. بِئْسَتْ, though the masc. is more commonly used even when the agent is fem. or pl.,] because it is translated from its original application, (S, K,) i. e. from بَئِسَ فُلَانٌ signifying أَصَابَ بُؤْسًا [he found, met with, or experienced, distress, &c.], to signify dispraise or blame. (S, TA.) When it is accompanied by a gen. n. without the article ال, this is always in the accus. case: but when the n. has the article ال, it is always in the nom. case: (TA:) you say, بِئْسَ رَجُلًا زَيْدً [ Very evil or bad, or superlatively evil or bad, as a man, is Zeyd; رجلا being a specificative]: (K:) and بِئْسَ الرَّجُلُ زَيْدٌ [ Very evil, &c., is the man, Zeyd ]; and بِئْسَتِ المَرْأَةُ هِنْدٌ [or more commonly بِئْسَ العَيْرُ in this case also, Very evil, &c., is the woman, Hind ]. (S.) Some argue that it is a noun, from the saying, نِعْمَ السَّيْرُ عَلَى بِئْسَ العَيْرُ, because it has a prep.; but this is explained as elliptical, and meaning, نِعَمَ السَّيْرُ عَلَى عَيْرٍ مَقُولٍ فِيهِ بِئْسَ العيْرُ [ Excellent is the journeying upon an ass of which it is said Very evil, &c., is the ass ]. (I 'Ak p. 232.) Zj says that when it is followed by مَا, then مَا, with it, is regarded as occupying the place of an indeterminate noun; [namely, شَيْئًا, as a specificative; as in the Kur ii. 84,بِئْسَ مَا ا@شْتَرَوا بِهِ أَنْفُسَهُمْ, or بِئْسَمَا, &c., Very evil, &c., as a thing, is that for which they have sold, or exchanged, themselves: ] (TA:) but some say that it is the agent, and is a determinate noun; and this is the opinion of Ibn-Kharoof, which he ascribes to Sb. (I 'Ak ubi suprà.) [For further illustration, see نِعْمَ.]

5 تَبَأََّ see 6.

6 تَبَاآءَسَ تباآءس He feigned the lowliness, or submissiveness, of poverty, humbling, or abasing, himself, (K,* TA,) with men; and ↓ تَبَأَّسَ is allowable in the same sense. (TA.)

8 ابتأس بِهِ ذ , (M, A,) and مِنْهُ, (S, TA,) He was distressed by it, or at it; it does not signify dislike: (IB, TA:) or he grieved at it, (S, M, A,) and humbled and abased himself: so in the Kur xi. 38 and xii. 69. (M, A, TA.) It is said of a man when a thing that he dislikes becomes known to him. (AZ, TA.)

بَأْسٌ ذ Might, or strength, (S, A, Msb, K,) in war or fight: (S, A, K:) courage; valour, or valiantness; prowess. (M, K.) ― -b2- War, or fight; (M, Msb;) as also ↓ بَئِيْسٌ (M) and ↓ بَأْسَاآءُ: (TA:) pl. of the first,أَبْؤَسٌ. (Msb.) ― -b3- Hence, (M,) (assumed tropical:) Fear, (M, TA,) in the saying, لَا بأْسَ عَلَيْكَ, (M, TA, *) and بِكَ, (M,) [(assumed tropical:) There is no fear for thee: lit., there is no war against thee, or with thee ]: the saying of which to an enemy implies the granting him security, or protection: and in the same sense it is used in a trad., in the phrase اِشْتَدَّ البَأْسُ [(assumed tropical:) Fear became vehement ]. (TA.) ― -b4- I. q. ضَرَرٌ (assumed tropical:) [ Harm, injury, &c.]: so in the phrase لَا بَأْسَ [ There is, or will be, no harm, &c.; and لَا بَأْسَ بِكَذَا, and فِى كَذَا, (assumed tropical:) There is, or will be, no harm in such a thing ]. (Har p. 311.) It is said in a trad., لَا بَأْسَ بِا@لْغِنَي لِمَنِ ا@تَّقَي [ There is no harm in wealth to him who is pious ]. (El-Jámi' es-Sagheer of Es-Suyootee.) بَاس also occurs for بَأْس; the being suppressed, agreeably with analogy; not altered by permutation. (M, TA.) ― -b5- Punishment: (S, A, K:) or severe punishment; (TA;) as also ↓ بَئِسٌ, in measure like كَتِفٌ. (IAar, TA.) ― -b6- See also بُؤْسٌ, in two places.

بُؤْسٌ ذ (also written بُوسٌ, with the suppressed, Msb) Distress; straitness of the means of subsistence, or of the conveniences of life; poverty: (M, Msb,* TA:*) or a state of pressing want: (S, K:) or misfortune; calamity: (A:) and ↓ بُؤُوسٌ and ↓ بُؤْسَى (K, TA) and ↓ بَأْسَاآءُ (M, A) and ↓ بَأْسٌ (TA) and ↓ بَئِيسٌ (S, K) and ↓ بَئِيسَى (TA) and ↓ مَبْأَسَةٌ (M, TA) [all of which, except ↓ بَأْسَاآءُ and ↓ مَبْأَسَةٌ, are said to be inf. ns. (see بَئِسَ)] signify the same as بُؤْسٌ: (S, M, A, K, TA:) ↓ بُؤْسَى and ↓ بَأْسَاآءُ are both from بُؤْسٌ [with which they are syn. accord. to authorities indicated above]; (Zj, IDrd, TA;) the former is contr. of نُعْمَى, (S, TA,) and in like manner the latter is contr. of نَعْمَاآءُ: (TA:) the latter is of the measure فَعْلَاآءُ without any أَفْعَلُ, because it is a subst.; like as أَفْعَلُ occurs among substs. without any فَعَلَاآءُ, as in the instance of أَحْمَدُ: (Akh, S:) or ↓ بُؤْسَى signifies a state of trial or affliction, and is a subst.; and ↓ بَئِيسٌ and ↓ بَاآسَةٌ signify the same, but are inf. ns.: (M:) and ↓ بَأْسَاآءُ is syn. with شِدَّةٌ [like بُؤْسٌ in the first of the senses explained above]; (S, TA;) and مَشَقَّةٌ [meaning distress, or difficulty ]: (TA:) or it signifies misfortune, or calamity, (A, K,) like بُؤْسٌ; (A;) and so أَبْؤُسٌ: (S, K:) or rather this last signifies misfortunes, or calamities; for it is pl. of ↓ بَأْسٌ, i. e., a pl. of pauc.; not of بُؤْسٌ, as J asserts it to be; for the pl. of pauc. of بُؤْسٌ is أَبْاآسٌ: (IB, TA:) but أَبْؤُسٌ may be used as pl. of ↓ بَأْسَاآءُ. (Fr, in S, voce ضَرَّاآءُ, q. v.) [See exs. of these two pls. in what follows.] You say يَوْمُ بُؤْسٍ وَيَوْمُ نُعْمٍ [ A day of distress, or poverty, &c., and a day of ease and plenty ]. (S, TA.)
