(TA.)

بِرْسِيمٌ برسيم , with kesr, (K,) vulgarly pronounced with fet-h to the ب, [بَرْسِيم,] (TA,) [ Alexandrian trefoil or clover; trifolium Alexandrinum; described by Forskål in his Flora Aegypt. Arab. p. 139; the most common and the best kind of succulent food for cattle grown in Egypt: it is sown when the waters of the inundation are leaving the fields; and yields three crops; the second of which is termed رِبَّةٌ; and so is the third; but this is generally left for seed: when dry, it is termed دَرِيسٌ: if his words have not been perverted by copyists, F explains it as] the grain of the قُرْط, (حَبُّ القُرْط [but I think it probable that this is a mistranscription, for خَيْرُ القُرْطِ, i. e., the best of the (species of trefoil, or clover, called ) قُرْط,] resembling the رُطْبَة [or رَطْبَة], or superior to this latter in size, or quality (أَجَلُّ مِنْهَا): (K:) the قُرْط resembles the رُطْبَة, [written in the TA without the vowel signs,] but is superior to this latter in size, or quality (اجلّ منها), and larger in the leaves, and is what is called in Persian شَبْذَر [or شَبْدَر]: (AHn, TA:) it is one of the best kinds of herbage for horses and the like, which fatten upon it.

قز قز :) or a kind thereof: (S in that art.:) or that whereof ابريسم is made: (Lth, Az, Msb, TA, all in that art.:) [medicinal properties are ascribed to it: it is said that] it is exhilarating, warming to the body, moderate in temperament, and strengthening to the sight when used as a collyrium: (K:) the word is arabicized, (S, Msb, K, [but in the last it is said, after the explanation of the meaning, “or it is arabicized,”]) from [the Persian] ابريشم [i. e. أَبْرِيشَمْ]: (TA:) and is perfectly decl., even if used as a proper name, in the manner of a surname, because it was arabicized in its indeterminate state, not like اـِسْحَاقُ &c., which were arabicized in their determinate state, and are not used by the Arabs indeterminately. (S.)

[In the CK, فى البَعِيرِ is put by mistake for فِى البِئْرِ.]) [Perhaps it is the same as is called بُرْص, (see this word below,) which may be a vulgar pronunciation; and if so, this may be the reason why the author of the K has added, contra. to his usual rule, “with fet-h.”]

[So called because of its mottled hue.] You say, بِتُّ لَا مُؤْنِسِى اـِلَّا الأَبْرَصُ [ I passed the night, none but the moon cheering me by its presence ]. (A, TA.) ― -b4- حَيَّةٌ بَرْصَاآءُ A serpent having in it, (K,) i. e., in its skin, (M, TA,) white places, distinct from the general colour. (M, K, TA.) ― -b5- أَرْضٌ بَرْصَاآءُ (tropical:) Land bare of herbage; (A;) of which the herbage has been depastured (K, TA) in some places, so that it has become bare thereof. (TA.)

Q. 1 بَرْطَلَ برطل رطل , (inf. n. بَرْطَلَةٌ, TK,) He placed a long stone (بِرْطِيلٌ) in the fore part (اـِزَاآء, q. v.,) of his watering-trough. (Lth, K.) -A2- [ He gave him a بِرْطِيل, or bribe; ] he bribed him. (K.) And بُرْطِلَ He was bribed. (TA.)

Q. 2 تَبَرْطَلَ برطل تبرطل He received a [بِرْطِيل, or] bribe. (K.)

بِرْطِيلٌ برطيل A long stone: pl. بَرَاطِيلٌ: (S:) or a broad stone: (TA in art. برم:) or a stone (Seer, A, K) of an oblong form (A, TA) a cubit in length, (Seer, TA,) or an iron, long, broad, and hard by nature, (K,) not such as is made long, or sharpened or made sharp-pointed, by men, (TA,) with which the millstone is pecked (تُنْقَرُ [i. e., wrought into shape, and roughened in its surface, by pecking ]): so says Lth: (TA:) to this is sometimes likened the muzzle, or fore part of the nose and mouth, of a she-camel of high breed: (Lth, TA:) [and hence,] it signifies also (assumed tropical:) the muzzle, or fore part of the nose and mouth, of an old bear: (TA:) some say that the dual signifies two elongated stones, of the hardest kind, slender, and sharp-pointed, with which the millstone is pecked (تُنْقَرُ [explained above]). (TA.) Also, (K,) accord. to Sh, (TA,) A pickaxe, or stonecutter's pick; syn. مِعْوَلٌ: (Sh, Msb, K:) pl. as above: accord. to IAar, what is called in Persian اسكنه [app. a mistranscription, or a dial. var., of اـِسْكَنك]. (TA.) -A2- A bribe; syn. رِشْوَةٌ: (Msb, K:) app. mentioned in the K as an Arabic word; and if so, the pronunciation with fet-h to the ب is a vulgarism, since there is no such measure as فَعْلِيلٌ: Abu-l-'Alà El-Ma'arree says that it is not known in this sense in the [classical] language of the Arabs; and it seems as though it were taken from the same word signifying “an oblong stone;” as though the bribe were likened to a stone that is thrown: (TA:) or it seems as though it were taken from the same word signifying a مِعْوَل; because therewith a thing is got out; (Msb;) and so El-Munáwee asserts it to be: (TA:) pl. as above. (Msb, K.) Hence the phrase, أَلْقَمَهُ البِرْطِيلَ [ He tipt him the bribe; conveyed it to him in like manner as one puts a morsel into another's mouth; somewhat like our phrase he greased his fist ]. (TA.) And the saying, البَرَاطِيلُ تَنْصُرُ الأَبَاطِيلِ [ Bribes render victorious false allegations ]: (Msb, TA:) a prov. (Msb.)

مُبَرْطِلُ الرَّأْسِ ذ A man having a long head. (A in art. كوز.)

1 بَرَعَ الجَبَلَ برع الجبل He ascended, or ascended upon, the mountain. (TA.) ― -b2- And بَرَعَ صَاحِبَهُ He was, or became, superior to his companion; he excelled him; (IAar;) he overcame him. (K.) -A2- بَرَعَ, (S, Msb, K,) aor. بَرَعَ ; (Msb, MS, PS, [accord. to the TA, which is followed in the TK, بَرُعَ , which is evidently a mistake,]) and بَرُعَ, aor. بَرُعَ ; (S, Msb, K;) and بَرِعَ, aor. بَرَعَ ; (Sgh, K;) inf. n. بُرُوعٌ, (M, K,) which is of بَرَعَ, (TA,) and بَرَاعَةٌ, (S, M, Msb, K,) which is of بَرُعَ [and is the more common]; (Msb, TA;) He excelled in knowledge, or courage, or other qualities: (Msb:) or he excelled his companions in knowledge &c.: (S, K:) or he was, or became, accomplished, perfect, or complete, in every excellence, and in goodliness. (M, K.)
