Lane's Lexicon (Edward Lane, 1863)

الفلَاآءُ ذ , like كِسَاآء [in measure], means فلاآء الشعر, [evidently, I think, فِلَاآءُ الشَّعَرَ, or the first word may be a mistranscription for فَلْىُ,] i. e. اخذك ما فيه [lit. Thy taking what is in it, in which “ it ” refers to the شعر: app. a euphemism for the taking of lice from the hair: if so, it may be an inf. n., like فَلْىٌ; (see 1, first sentence;) or it may be a simple subst., like what here follows]: mentioned by IAmb, from his companions. (TA.)

فِلَايَةٌ ذ [The act of searching the head for lice; ] the subst. from فَلَى رَأْسَهُ signifying “ he searched his head for lice. ” (Lth, * T, * K.) [See also the next preceding paragraph.]

[ فَالٍ ذ act. part. n. of 1: fem. فَالِيَةٌ.] فَالِيَاتٌ and فَوَالٍ [are pls. of فَالِيَةٌ and] signify Women who search the head for lice. (T, TA.) See an ex. of the former pl. in the verse cited in the first paragraph. ― -b2- فَالِيَةُ الأَفَاعِى (in which the former word is a pl. [in meaning], M, TA) signifies [lit. The lousers of the vipers; meaning,] accord. to the A, certain species of the kind [ of beetles ] called خَنَافِس [pl. of خُنْفَسَاآء], speckled, found at the holes of the serpents, which they louse: (TA:) or a certain خنفساآء, speckled (M, K) with [ the colour termed ] صُحْمَة, which is found at the holes [ of serpents &c. ], and is the mistress of خَنَافِس; (M;) which is familiar with scorpions and serpents; so that when it comes forth from a hole [ thereof ], it makes known their existence [ therein ]: (K:) or certain small things like خنَافس, speckled; which are familiar with scorpions and serpents; so that when they are seen in the hole [ thereof ] it is known that behind them are scorpions and serpents: (T:) or certain insects (دَوَابُّ) that are found at the holes of the [ lizards called ] ضِبَاب [pl. of ضَبُّ]; so that when they come forth, it is known that the ضَبّ is coming forth inevitably. (M.) Hence one says, اتتكم فَالِيَةُ الأَفَاعِى, (IAar, T, M, K, *) meaning (assumed tropical:) The beginning of evil to be looked for [ has come to you ], (IAar, T,) or the beginnings of evil [ hare come to you ]; (K;) which is a prov. (IAar, T.) ― -b3- And [hence] اِبْنُ الفَوَالِى means The جَانّ; i. e. the serpent [ so called ]. (T in art. بنى.)

فَالِيَةٌ ذ [fem. of فَالٍ, q. v. ― -b2- And also] A knife. (T.)

فَمٌ ذ The mouth: (MA, KL, &c.:) it is originally فَوَهٌ, (S, K, and Msb in art. فوه,) with two fet-hahs, (Msb in that art.,) or فَوْهٌ; (so in some copies of the S;) the ه being cut off from it, the و is not susceptible of declension, because it is quiescent, therefore م is substituted for it; but when you form the dim. or the pl., you restore it to its original state, saying [in the former case] فُوَيْهٌ and [in the latter case] أَفْوَاهٌ, and not أَفْمَاآءٌ [in some of the copies of the S not أَفْمَامٌ]: but when you form the rel. n., you say ↓ فَمِىٌّ; and, if you will, ↓ فَمَوِىٌّ, combining the substitute and the letter for which it is substituted, like as they say in the dual فَمَوَانِ; this being held to be allowable because of there being therein another letter rejected, i. e. the ه, as though they made the م in this case to be a substitute for the ه, not for the و: (S, TA:) and one says also فَمَيَانِ, which, like فَمَوَانِ, is anomalous; (IAar, K in art. فوه;) but one says فَمَانِ also, as well as فَمَوَانِ: (Msb in art. فوه:) it has three forms, فَمٌ and فُمٌ and فِمٌ: (S, K, TA:) and some decline it doubly; saying in the nom. case فُمٌ, accus. فَمًا, and gen. فِمٍ; (S, TA;) like اِمْرُؤٌ and اِبْنُمٌ, which have been said to be the only other instances of the kind: (TA:) when it is prefixed to the [pronominal] ى, one says فِىَّ and فَمِى: but when to [a pronoun] other than the ى, it is declined with the letters و and ا and ى, so that one says فُوُهُ and فَاهُ and فِيهِ; but one also says فَمُهُ: (Msb. in art. فوه:) and sometimes the م is musheddedeh, (S, K,) in poetry, as in the saying, (S, TA,) of Mohammad Ibn-Dhu-eyb El-'Ománee El-Fukeymee, the rájiz, (TA in this art. and in art. طسم,) addressing Er-Rasheed, or, accord. to IKh, said in relation to Suleymán Ibn-'Abd-El-Melik and 'Abd-El- 'Azeez. (TA in art. طسم,) يَا لَيْتَهَا قَدْ خَرَجَتْ مِنْ فُمِّهِ حَتَّى يَعُودَ المُلْكُ فِى أُسْطُمِّهِ (S, TA) or أُطْسُمِّهِ i. e. [ O, would that it had gone forth from his mouth, so that the dominion might return ] to its rightful owner; (S in art. سطم, and TA in art. طسم;) and it would have been allowable, (S, TA,) accord. to ISk, (S,) or accord. to Fr, (TA,) if he had said ↓ من فَمِّهِ, with fet-h to the ف: (S, TA:) the pl. of فم, with teshdeed, is أَفْمَامٌ; and its dim. is ↓ فُمَيْمٌ, mentioned by Lh. (TA.) MF says that many of the expositors of the Tes-heel have collected the dial. vars. of this word, compounded and uncompounded, and they have exceeded twenty; that with fet-h, they say, being the most common and the most chaste. (TA.) [See more in art. فوه.] ― -b2- [Hence,] الفم is metonymically applied to (tropical:) The teeth. (Ham p. 242.) ― -b3- [Hence also,] فَمُ الحُوتِ (assumed tropical:) The star [a] in the mouth of Piscis Australis. (Kzw &c.: see art. حوت.) And فَمُ الفَرَسِ (assumed tropical:) The star [e] upon the lip of Pegasus. (Kzw.) ― -b4- [And فَمُالرَّحِمِ (assumed tropical:) The mouth of the womb. ] ― -b5- And فَمُ النَّهْرِ (assumed tropical:) The mouth of the river. (MA.) ― -b6- And [hence likewise,] فَمٌ is also used as meaning (assumed tropical:) Branch; opposed to اِسْتٌ meaning “ root. ” (TA in art. سته; in which see اِسْتٌ, last quarter.) -A2- فَمٌ مِنَ الدِّبَاغِ means The quantity that is used at one time, of tan; (Fr, K, * TA;) like نَفْسٌ مِنْهُ. (Fr, TA.)

فَمِىٌّ ذ and فَمَوِىٌّ: see the preceding paragraph, near the beginning.

فُمَّ ذ a dial. var. of the conjunction تُمَّ [q. v.]: (K:) or the ف in the former is a substitute for the ث in the latter: one says, رَأَيْتُ عَمْرًا فُمَّ زَيْدًا and ثُمَّ زَيْدًا, both meaning the same [i. e. I saw 'Amr: then Zeyd ]: (TA:) and in like manner one says فُمَّتَ and فُمَّتْ, meaning تُمَّتَ and تُمَّتْ. (M and TA voce ثُمَّ.)

فُمٌّ ذ and فَمٌّ: see the first paragraph, latter half.

فُمَيْمٌ ذ : see the first paragraph, latter half.

(T, S.) ― -b2- And [فَنَّهُ also signifies He delayed, or deferred, with him, or put him off, in the matter of his debt, by promising time after time to pay him; for] one of the significations of الفَنُّ is المَطْلُ.

(T.) ― -b4- And فنّن signifies also He sought many [or various ] things. (Har p. 612.)

5 تفنّن ذ It was, or became, of various sorts, or modes, or manners. (KL.) ― -b2- See also 2. You say likewise تفنّن فِى الكَلَامِ [ He practised, or took to, various modes, or manners, in speech; he diversified therein ]. (TA in art. طرق, conj. 3. [Thus used, it is like افتنّ, q. v.]) ― -b3- And تفنّن فِى العُلُومِ He was, or became, possessed of various acquirements in the sciences.

فَنٌّ ذ A sort, or species, syn. ضَرْبٌ, (T, M, K,) or نَوْعٌ, (S, Msb,) of a thing; (Msb;) as also ↓ أُفْنُونٌ [in this sense and in the senses here following; in the CK, erroneously, اَفْنُون]: (M, K:) and a state, or condition; syn. حَالٌ: (M, K:) [and a way: (see what follows:)] and a mode, or manner: (MA:) pl. [of mult.] فُنُونٌ (T, S, M, Msb, K) and [of pauc.] أَفْنَانٌ. (T, M, K.) One says, رَعَيْنَا فُنُونَ النَّبَاتِ [ We pastured our cattle upon the various sorts of herbage ]: and أَصَبْنَا فُنُونَ الأَمْوَالِ [ We obtained the various sorts of possessions ]: and a poet says, قَدْ لَبِسْتُ الدَّهْرَ مِنْ أَفْنَانِهِ كُلُّ فَنٍّ نَاعِمٍ مِنْهُ حَبِرْ [ I have enjoyed of the various sorts of fortune, every pleasant, soft, sort thereof ]. (T.) [↓ أُفْنوُنٌ has for its pl. أَفَانِيْنُ, which may also be regarded as pl. of أَفْنَانٌ pl. of فَنٌّ like as it is said to be a pl. pl. of فَنَنٌ: and] أَفَانِينُ [alone], (S,) or أَفَانِينُ كَلَامٍ, (TA,) signifies kinds [or sorts ], and ways, or modes, or manners, [i. e. diversities, or varieties, ] of speech; (S, TA, * PS;) like أَسَالِيبُ [pl. of أُسْلُوبٌ].

فُنَّةٌ ذ Much, or abundance, of herbage. (IAar, K.)

فَنَنٌ ذ A branch of a tree: (S, M, Msb, K:) or such as is of just proportion in length or in breadth: (T:) said to be syn. with غُصْنٌ; but this latter signifies “ such as has been cut off ” i. q. قَضِيبٌ meaning مَقْضُوبٌ: (M:) pl. أَفْنَانٌ; (T, S, M, Msb, K;) said by Sb to be its only pl.; (M;) occurring in the Kur lv. 48; where some explain it as pl. of فَنٌّ, and meaning “ sorts, ” or “ species ”; others, as pl. of فَنَنٌ: (T, Bd:) and أَفَانِينُ is a pl. pl., (T, S, K,) i. e. pl. of أَفْنَانٌ. (T, S.) ― -b2- And as a branch shelters like as does darkness, a poet uses it metaphorically, saying, أَغَاثَ شَرِيدَهُمْ فَنَنُ الظَّلَامِ (tropical:) [ The shelter of the darkness aided him, or them, who fled ]. (M.) ― -b3- And [in like manner also] the pl. pl. is used in a trad. describing the inmates of Paradise, as meaning (tropical:) Locks of hair; these being likened to branches: and El-Marrár says, أَعَلَاقَةً أُمَّ الوَلِيدِ بَعْدَمَا أَفْنَانُ رَأْسِكَ كَالثَّغَامِ المُخْلِسِ (tropical:) [Dost thou feel attachment of love to Umm-ElWeleed after that the locks of thy head have become like the hoary thaghám? ]; meaning the locks of the hair of his head when he had become hoary. (T. [See ثَغَامٌ.])

فَنِينٌ ذ A humour in the armpit [of a camel], with pain. (M, K.) ― -b2- And A camel having the tumour thus called; as also ↓ مَفْنُونٌ. (M, K.)

شَجَرَةٌ فَنَّاآءُ ذ and فَنْوَاآءُ, which latter is anomalous, A tree having branches; (S;) the latter thus expl. by AA; but by rule it should be فَنَّاآءُ: (A'Obeyd, T:) or the latter, which is anomalous, signifies having long branches: (M:) or both signify having many branches. (K.) ― -b2- And [hence] اِمْرَأَةٌ فَنْوَاآءُ (assumed tropical:) A woman having much hair: but in this case, as in the former, the epithet, by rule, should be فَنَّاآءُ. (M.) [See also فَيْنَانٌ.]

شَعَرٌ فَيْنَانٌ ذ (assumed tropical:) Hair having locks [lit. branches (أَفْنَان)] (M, * K) like the أَفْنَان of trees; [the latter word properly signifying having many branches, (see Ham p. 622,) of the measure فَيْعَالٌ, not فَعْلَان;] therefore it is perfectly decl.: so says Sb: (M:) or it signifies long and beautiful hair; the latter word being of the measure فَيْعَالٌ from الفَنَنُ, and the ى augmentative. (T.) ― -b2- And one says also, agreeably with analogy, رَجُلٌ فَيْنَانٌ, (M,) and اِمْرَأَةٌ فَيْنَانَةٌ, (M, K,) meaning [ A man, and a woman, ] having much hair; (K;) for فَيْنَان is perfectly decl., derived from أَفْنَانُ الشَّجَرِ: IAar has mentioned اِمْرَأَةٌ فَيْنَى meaning [ a woman ] having much hair; and if the phrase be thus, فَيْنَان must be imperfectly decl.; but [ISd says] I regard this as a mistake of IAar. (M.) [See also art. فين.]

أُفْنُونٌ ذ : see فَنٌّ, in two places. -A2- Also A tangled, or luxuriant, or dense, branch. (T, K.) ― -b2- And Obscure, indistinct, or confused, speech, (T, K,) of a foolish, stupid, or dull, person. (T.) ― -b3- And A mixed, or confused, run, of a horse and of a she-camel. (T, K.) -A3- Also A serpent. (T, M, K.) ― -b2- And An old woman: so some say: (M:) or an old woman advanced in age: (T, K:) or one who is flaccid, or flabby: (K:) Yaakoob has explained it as having the first of these three meanings; but IB regards this as improbable, because a verse of Ibn-Ahmar which is cited as an ex. thereof is preceded by what shows that it is applied to his beloved. (TA.) [It is said in the M to be also the proper name of a certain woman; and as such it may be used by Ibn-Ahmar.] ― -b3- And i. q. دَاهِيَةٌ [ A calamity, or misfortune, &c.]: (M, K:) so some say. (M.) -A4- And The first part of youth, or youthfulness; and of clouds. (M, K.)

مِفَنٌّ ذ A man who has various sorts, or modes, [i. e. diversities, or varieties, ] of speech; (T, TA;) and so ↓ مُتَفَنِّنٌ: (S:) or a man who utters, or performs, wonderful things: (S, K, TA:) fem. with ة. (T, S, K.) ― -b2- And A horse that performs various sorts, or modes, of running. (TA.)

مُفَنَّنٌ ذ A garment, or piece of cloth, diversified; not uniform. (M, TA.) ― -b2- And Old, and evil in disposition, as an epithet applied to a man: (M:) and so with ة applied to a woman. (M, K.) ― -b3- Also, with ة, A she-camel that seems to one to have been ten months pregnant, ثُمَّ تَنْكَشِفُ مَنَ الكِشَافِ [app. meaning then suffers, or exposes, herself to be compressed; from الكِشَافُ as inf. n. of كَشَفَت said of a she-camel: compare تنكشف as here used with تَكْتَشِفُ said of a woman]. (K.)

مَفْنُونٌ ذ : see فَنِينٌ.

مُتَفَنِّنُ ذ : see مِفَنٌّ.

فُنْتُقٌ ذ A خَان of the way or road; (Ibn-'Abbád, O, K;) a dial. var. of فُنْدُقٌ [q. v.]; disapproved by El-Khafájee; but heard by Fr from a desertArab of Kudá'ah, as meaning a فُنْدُق, i. e. خَان. (TA.)

مِفْنَخٌ ذ A man who abases his enemies, and breaks their heads, much, or often. (S, K.)
