[In some copies of the K, for لَمْ يَسُغْ, we find لَمْ يَمْتَنِعْ, which is evidently a mistake.]) -A3- He met, or met with, a man unintentionally: (M, K:) from the phrase, لَقِيتُهُ صَحْرَةَ بَحْرَةَ.

The dim. is ↓أُبَيْحِرٌ, (K,) which is anomalous; and ↓بُحَيْرٌ, which is the regular form: accord. to the K, the latter is not used; but this is untrue; for it is sometimes used, though rare. (MF.) ― -b2- Hence its application in the saying of the Arabs, يَا هَادِىَ اللَّيْلِ جُرْتَ اـِنَّمَا هُوَ البَحْرُ أَوِ الفَجْرُ, which Th explains by saying that the meaning is, (tropical:) [ O guide of the night, thou hast deviated from the right way: ] it is only destruction or thou wilt see the daybreak: the night is here likened to the sea [and with the night is associated the idea of destruction]: but accord. to one recital, it is البَجْرُ, instead of البَحْرُ.

You say, لَقِيتُ بِزَيْدٍ بَحْرًا (tropical:) [ I found, in the place of Zeyd, a man of abundant generosity or beneficence ]: ب here denoting substitution. (The Lubáb cited in the TA voce بِ.) And لَقِيتُ مِنْهُ بَحْرًا (tropical:) [ I found him to be a man of exceeding generosity ]; a phrase expressing an intensive degree of generosity: and رَأَيْتُ مِنْهُ بَحْرًا [signifies the same]. (Mughnee in art. بِ.) ― -b6- (tropical:) A man of extensive knowledge or science; one who takes a wide range in his knowledge or science.

(TA.) So in the Kur [xxx. 40], ظَهَرَ الفَسَادُ فِى البَرِّ وَ البَحْرِ (assumed tropical:) [ Corruption hath appeared in the desert, or deserts, and in the land of seed-produce and fruitfulness; &c.]: (Aboo-'Alee, TA:) or the meaning here is, [ in the desert, or deserts, and in the towns, or villages, in which is water: (see بَرٌّ:) or in the open country and ] in the cities [or towns ] upon the rivers; by sterility in the former, and scarcity in the latter: (Zj, TA, and T in art. بر:) or in the land and the sea; i. e., the land has become sterile, or unfruitful, and the supply of the sea has become cut off.

(S.)

(K, TA.) صحرةَ بحرةَ, without tenween, is a compound denotative of state; not, as some say, consisting of two inf. ns.: and sometimes نَحْرَةً is added; in which case each of the three words is with tenween, decl.; and they do not form a compound.

بُحْرَانٌ حران بحر بحران , a post-classical word, (S, K,) used by the physicians, signifying The crisis of a disease; the sudden change which happens to a sick person, (S, TA,) and the commencement of convalescence, (TA,) in acute diseases; (S, TA;) at a time fixed by some motion in the heavenly bodies, mostly by a motion of the moon; being a change to health or to the contrary: a word [said to be] of Greek origin. (The Nuzheh of the sheykh Dáwood El-Antákee, cited in the TA.) [Pl. بَحَارِينُ.] They say, هٰذَا يَوْمُ بُحْرَانٍ and يَوْمٌ ↓ بَاحُورِىٌّ [ This is the day of a crisis of a disease ]: باحورىّ being anomalous: (S, K:) [perhaps from البَاحُورُ signifying “ the moon, ” because the crisis of a disease is thought to be mostly fixed by a motion of the moon: or] as though it were a rel. n. of بَاحُورٌ and بَاحُورَاآءُ meaning the “ vehemence of heat in [the month of] تَمُّوز. ” (S.)

(IAth.) ― -b2- أَحْمَرُ بَحْرَانِىٌّ, and ↓ بَاحِرٌ, (TA,) and ↓ بَاحِرِىٌّ, (IAar, TA,) (assumed tropical:) Intense red. (TA.)

It is said in a trad., that the person who instituted the practices relative to the بحيرة and the حَامِى, and the first who altered the religion of Ishmael, was 'Amr the son of Loheí the son of Kama'ah the son of Jundab; and these practices are forbidden in the Kur v. 102. (TA.)

R. Q. 1 بَخْبَخَ بخبخ , (S, K,) inf. n. بَخْبَخَةٌ and بِخْبَاخٌ, (TA,) [a verb imitative of the sound which it signifies,] He (a camel [in a state of excitement]) brayed, (S, K,) so that his شِقْشِقَة [or faucial bag ] filled his mouth: (S:) or, as some say, began to bray. (TA.) ― -b2- [Hence, perhaps,] He (a man) said [بَخْ] or بَخْ بَخْ [&c.]. (TA, and Har p. 556.) ― -b3- And [hence,] بَخْبَخَ بِصُحْبَتِى He rejoiced in my company. (Har ubi suprà.) ― -b4- And بَخْبَخَ الرَّجُلَ He said بَخْ or بَخْ بَخْ &c. to the man. (S.)

بَخْ بخ , (S, A, K, &c.,) [in some copies of the K written بَخَّ, which is wrong, for it is] like بَلْ, (A,) [i. e.] like قَدْ, (TA,) [perhaps, as I have suggested above, from the sound made by a hecamel in a state of excitement,] a word used on the occasion of praising; (S, A;) on praising one from whom has proceeded a good and wonderful action; (Har p. 142;) on approving a thing; (T, S, Msb, K;) on being pleased with it, or having one's admiration excited by it; (A, K;) or on the occasion of glorying and of praising; (K;) in pronouncing a thing great in estimation, (IAmb,) or excellent; (AHeyth;) in deeming a thing great in estimation, (AHei,) or good; (Mgh;) or it means wonder, or admiration; (R;) and sometimes it is used [ironically] to denote disapproval; also, as an exhortation to gentleness with a thing, and to taking extraordinary pains; (TA;) and in a case of expertness, or skilfulness: (AHei:) it means نِعْمَ الرَّجُلُ and نِعْمَ الفِعْلُ [ Excellent, or most excellent, is the man! and, the deed! ]; (Har p. 142;) [or simply, excellent! or most excellent! how good! how goodly! well done! bravo! and the like;] or عَظُمَ الأَمْرُ and فَخُمَ [ great in estimation is the thing, or affair, or event, or case! ]: (K:) MF observes, [probably from finding بَخَّ in the place of بَخْ in his copy or copies of the K,] that this explanation is like an express assertion that it is a verb in the pret. tense, which requires consideration. (TA.) It is used alone; and in this case you say, بَخْ, (K,) and بَخِ, (Msb, K,) with kesr for its invariable termination, (Msb,) and بَخٍ, and بَخٌ; (K, TA; [but in the CK, in the place of بَخٍ and بَخٌ, we find بُخٌ;]) without tesh-deed, (T, Msb,) in most cases; (Msb;) but also with teshdeed, (T, S, A,) like a noun; so that one says, بَخٍ لَكَ and بَخٍّ [&c., meaning I say excel-lent! &c., to thee ]: (S:). and one repeats it, (S, A, K, &c.,) for the sake of emphasis; (S, A;) saying, بَخْ بَخْ, (IAmb, S, A, K, &c.,) with the خ quiescent like the ل in هَلْ and بَلْ, (IAmb,) and بَخٍ بَخٍ, (S, A, R, K,) pronounced in the latter manner, with tenween, when in connexion with a following word, [and in this case only, whereas it is pronounced in the former manner in any case,] (S, A,) and بَخٍّ بَخٍّ, (S, * A, * R, K,) and بَخٍ بَخْ, (K,) and بَخِّ بَخِّ. (R.)

جَمَلٌ بَخْبَاخُ الهَدِيرِ جمل بخباخ الهدير A camel that fills his mouth with his شِقْشِقَة [or faucial bag ] when he brays. (S.)

اـِبِلٌ مُبْخْبَخَةٌ ابل مبخبخه ابل مبخبخة Camels to which one says بَخْ بَخْ; being pleased with them: (ISd, TA:) or largebellied camels; (K;) as also مُخَبْخَبَةٌ, which is formed from the former by transposition; from بَخْ بَخْ, or بَخٍ بَخْ, which is said by the Arabs in praising a thing; as though, by reason of their greatness, the people, seeing them, said, How goodly are they! (TA.)

(Mgh.)

بَخْتٌ باخ بخ بخا بخت Fortune; or particularly good fortune; syn. جَدٌّ, (S, A, K,) and حَظٌّ: (Msb, TA:) a foreign, or Persian, word, (Msb,) arabicized: (S, K:) or post-classical: accord. to the 'Ináyeh, not a chaste Arabic word: but in the Shifá el-Ghaleel said to have been used by the Arabs in ancient times; and the like is said in the L: Az says, “ I know not if it be Arabic or not. ” (TA.)

بُخْتُ باخ بخ بخا بخت [a coll. gen. n.] A species of camels; (S, * Msb;) the Khurásánee [or Bactrian ] camels; (K;) begot between an Arabian she-camel and a فَالِج [which is a large two-humped camel brought from Es-Sind for the purpose of covering ]; (TA;) long-necked; (Nh;) [ large and strong, accord. to Ibn-Maaroof; and two-humped, accord. to Leo Africanus: the Mauritanian Arabs call thus all camels promiscuously; but accord. to the more common use of the word are to be understood hairy camels, fit for winter-work; generally of Turhumán or Bactrian breed; distinct from the Arabian, which are accustomed to bear bardens in winter and summer: (Golius:)] they are also called ↓ بُخْتِيَّةٌ: (K:) n. un. ↓ بُخْتِىٌّ; (S, Msb;) fem. ↓ بُخْتِيَّةٌ: (S:) pl. بَخَاتِىُّ, (S, Msb, K,) imperfectly decl., (S,) and بَخَاتَى (K, TA [in the CK بَخَاتِى]) and بَخَاتٍ, (K,) and you may say [with the article] البَخَاتِى, without tenween: (S, Msb:) it is a foreign, or Persian, word, (TA,) arabicized: but some say, it is Arabic: (S, TA:) some hesitate as to its being Arabic because بَخْتٌ, meaning خَظٌّ, is not. (Msb.)

بُخْتِىٌّ بخت بختى بختي and بُخْتِيَّةٌ: see بُخْتٌ; for the latter, in two places.
