And فَاقَتِ الجَارِيَةُ بِالجَمَالِ The young woman excelled in beauty, or comliness ]. (Msb.) It is said in a trad., حُبِّبَ اـِلَىَّ الجَمَالُ حَتَّى مَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ يَفُوفَنِى أَحَدٌ بِشِرَاكِ نَعْلٍ [ Comeliness has been made lovely to me so that I love not that any one should excel me in the thong of a sandal ] (TA.) -A2- فاق, (S, O, K,) aor. يَفُوقُ, (O,) inf. n. فُوَاقٌ, (S, O, K,) said of a man, (S,) means that The wind rose from his chest; (S, O, K;) [i. e. he hiccoughed, or hickuped; a signification indicated by its being said that] فُوَاقٌ means the reiterating of an overpowering [or involuntary ] sobbing sound: (Msb, TA:) and ↓ فُوَاقٌ [as a subst.] signifies also the wind [itself] that rises from the chest (S, O, K) of a man.

(K;) or ↓ فُوَاقٌ [is app. held by some to be a simple subst., and] accord. to IAar signifies death itself: (TA:) or it signifies, (S, O, Msb,) or signifies also, (K.) an affection [i. e. a gasping, or show catching of the breath, ] incident to a man at the point of death: (S, O, Msb, K:) and one says [of the man], فاق, aor. يَفُوقُ, inf. n. فوق [app. فَوَقٌ]; the verb being of the class of طَلَبَ of which the inf. n. most commonly used is طَلَبَ; or, if the saying that the verb is of the class of طَلَبَ be not meant to indicate the form of its inf. n. as well as that of its aor., فوق may be a mistranscription for فُؤُوقٌ or فُؤُوقٌ] (Msb.) -A3- فاقت, (O, K,) aor. تَفُوقُ, inf. n. فُوَاقٌ, (TA.) She (a camel) had in her udder the فِيقَة, or milk that had collected between two milkings.

(ISb, TA:) and اـِفَاقَةٌ الدِّرَّةِ signifies the returning of the milk. Zeyd Ibn-Kethweh, TA.) [See also فُوَاقٌ, below.] -A4- فَوْقٌ signifies A bending, or [thus in the TA is from the K, but in copies of the K "and,"] a breaking. (K, TA,) in the notch (فِى الفَوقِ) (K,) or in one of the two cusps of the notch, (TA.) of an arrow: (K, TA:) or its verb said of an arrow, is فاق, aor. يَفَاقُ, inf. n. فَاقٌ and فَوْقٌ, in which the و is then made movent with fet-h. [so that the word becomes فَوقٌ,] because this verb is of the class of فَعِلَ, aor. يَفْعَلُ: (K, TA.) or one says of an arrow فَوِقَ, [aor يَفْوَقُ,] inf. n. فَوَقٌ, meaning its notch broke: (Msb;) and ↓ انفاق said of an arrow signifies thus; (S, Msb;) or its notch became much broken.

And فاق الشَّىْءَ, aor. يَفُوقُ, He broke the thing. (TA.) -A5- فاق in the sense of افتاق [from فَاقَةٌ] is not allowable. (S, O.)

2 فوّقهُ ذ , inf. n. تَفْوِيقٌ, He made him, or judged him, to excel, or to have excelled. (TA.) -A2- فوّق الفَصِيلَ, (S, O, K,) inf. n. as above, said of the pastor, (TA,) He gave to the young unweaned camel to drink the quantities of milk that had collected in the udder between two milkings time after time. (S, O, K, TA. [See فُوَاقٌ.]) ― -b2- And [hence] one says, ↓ فَوَّقَنِى الأَمَانِىَّ وَأَرْضَعَنِى أَفَاوِيقَ بِرِّهِ (tropical:) [ He made me to obtain on repeated occasions the things wished for, and nourished me with the recurrent supplies of his bounty ]. (TA.) And it is said in a trad. of 'Alee, اـِنَّ بَنِى أُمَيَّةَ لَيُفَوِّقُونَنِى تُرَاثَ مُحَمَّدٍ, meaning (assumed tropical:) [ Verily the sons of Umeiyeh ] give to me by little and little of the property [ constituting the heritage of Mohammad ].

4 اـِفَاقَةٌ ذ , (O, K, TA,) some say, (O, TA,) signifies A resting; (O, K, TA;) from ↓ فُوَاقٌ signifying a resting between two milkings; (O, TA;) which latter meaning, as well as the former, the K erroneously assigns to the former word. (TA.) ― -b2- And أَفَاقَتْ said of a she-camel, signifies the same as فَاقَتْ expl. above: see 1, latter half, (O, K, TA.) ― -b3- And [hence, perhaps,] افاق مِنْ مَرَضِهِ, (S, O, K, TA,) and مِنْ سُكْرِهِ, (S, O,) and مِنْ غَشْيَتِهِ, (O, TA,) inf. n. اـِفَاقَهُ; (TA;) and ↓ استفاق; both signify the same; (S, O, K;) i. e. He returned to a healthy, or sound, state [ of body and of mind, from his disease, and from his intoxication, and from his swoon, or fit of insensibility ]: (O, K, TA:) or one says of the diseased, افاق and ↓ استفاق meaning he became convalescent; or recovered, but not completely, his health and strength: and the subst. [or quasi-inf. n.] is ↓ فُوَاقٌ: (TA:) and one says of the insane, or possessed, افاق, inf. n. اـِفَاقَةٌ, meaning he recovered his intel-ligence; and of the intoxicated, likewise, افاق, originally افاق مِنْ سُكْرِهِ, like as one says اِسْتَيْقَظَ مِنْ نَوْمِهِ: (Msb:) [and it is said that] ↓ الاِسْتِفَاقَةُ as syn. with الاـِفَاقَةُ is derived from فَوْق meaning the contr. of تَحْت, like as تَعَلَّى مِنْ مَرَضِهِ and تَمَاثَلَ are from العُلُوُّ and المُثُولُ: (Har p. 132:) but accord. to 'Alee Ibn-'Eesà, ↓ استفاق signifies he sought, or desired, الاـِفَاقَة. (Ham p. 541.) ― -b4- And [hence,] افاق الزَّمَانُ (tropical:) The time became abundant in herbage after barrenness or drought. (O, K, TA.) -A2- أَفَقْتُ السَّهْمَ, (inf. n. اـِفَاقَةٌ, Msb,) I put the فُوق [or notch ] of the arrow upon the bowstring, (S, O, Msb, * K,) to shoot with it; (S, O, Msb;) as also أَوْفَقْتُهُ: but أَفْوَقْتُهُ is extr., (S, O, K,) and should not be said, (S, O,) or, accord. to Yoo, one says أَفْوَقْتُهُ also: (O:) and, accord. to the A, السَّهْمَ ↓ فوّق signifies [in like manner] he put the bow-string into the notch of the arrow on the occasion of shooting. (TA.)

5 تفوّق عَلَى قَوْمِهِ ذ He exalted himself above his people, or party. (O, * K, * TA.) -A2- تفوّق said of a young unweaned camel, He drank [or sucked ] the quantities of milk that had collected in the udder between two milkings time after time. (S, O, K.) ― -b2- And تَفَوَّقَهَا He milked her, namely, a camel, drawing from her the quantities of milk that had collected in her udder time after time; (O, K;) as also ↓ استفاقها. (K. [But see this latter below.]) ― -b3- Hence the trad. respecting Aboo-Moosà, that he was discoursing with Ma'ádh, of reciting the Kur-án, and said, أَمَّا أَنَا فَأَتَفَوَّقُهُ تَفَوُّقَ اللَّقُوحِ [ As for me, I draw it forth in the manner of the drawing forth of the milk of the milch camel at the times when it has collected in her udder ], meaning (tropical:) I do not recite my set portion at once, but piecemeal, in my night and my day. (S, O, TA.) ― -b4- One says also تفوّق شَرَابَهُ i. e. (tropical:) He drank his wine, or beverage, part after part. (TA.) Sb has mentioned that يَتَجَرَّعَهُ and يَتَفَوَّقَهُ are said of that which is not a labouring to do a thing at once, but is an act after an act, performed in a leisurely manner. (O, TA.)

7 انفاق ذ It (a thing) broke, or became broken; quasi-pass. of فَاقَ الشَّىْءَ meaning كَسَرَهُ. (TA.) ― -b2- See also 1, near the end. ― -b3- Said of a camel, He became lean, or emaciated: ― -b4- and He perished, or died. (O, K.)

8 افتاق ذ He was, or became, poor, or in want, or need: (S, O, Msb, K:) فَاقَ in this sense is not allowable. (S, O.) -A2- And He died with much فُوَاق [which may here mean either hiccoughing (which often occurs at the close of a fatal fever &c.), or gasping, or short catching of the breath ]. (O, K.)

10 اـِسْتَفْوَقَ see 4, in four places. -A2- استفاقها: see 5. [It signifies as there explained: or it signifies, or signifies also,] He delayed the milking her, namely, a camel, until her milk collected in her udder, or in order that it might collect; and so ↓ فوّقها, inf. n. تَفْوِيقٌ. (TA.) One says, اِسْتَفِقِ النَّاقَةَ Milk not thou the she-camel before the time. (O, * K.) ― -b2- ― -b3- And مَا يَسْتَفِيقُ مِنَ الشَّرَابِ He does not abstain [ from drinking wine ]: (O, K, TA:) or he does not drink it in the set time: or he does not appoint a time for drinking it, but drinks it always. (TA.)

فَاقٌ ذ A [ large bowl such as is termed ] جَفْنَة, filled with food. (Lth, T, O, K.) -A2- And Cooked olive-oil. (O, K, TA.) So in the saying of Shemmákh, (O, TA, *) describing the hair of a woman, (TA,) قَامَتْ تُرِيكَ أَثِيثَ النَّبْتِ مُنْسَدِلًا مِثْلَ الأَسَاوِدِ قَدْ مُسِّحْنَ بِالقَافِ [ She stood showing to thee hair abundant and luxuriant, or abundant and long, in respect of growth, let down, like the black serpents that have been anointed with cooked olive-oil ]: or, as some say, meaning الأَنْفَاق, meaning fresh olive-oil [from اـِنْفَاق, a Pers. word signifying “ olive-oil ”]: or, as AA relates it, the poet said, قَدْ شُدِّخْنَ بِالفَاقِ [ that have been crushed in the فاق]; and accord. to him the last word has the meaning here next following. (O, TA.) -A3- And The desert; syn. صَحْرَاآءُ: (O, K, TA:) so says AA: and on one occasion he says that الفاق means a certain land: (O: a meaning also mentioned in the K:) or a certain wide land. (TA.) -A4- It is also expl. as signifying بَان [i. e. Oil of ben ]: and also A comb: on the authority of Th: and it may have either of these meanings in the verse cited above. (TA.) -A5- And accord. to the K, it signifies Tall, and incongruous in make; and so ↓ فُوقٌ and ↓ فُوقَةٌ and ↓ فِيقٌ and ↓ فُوَاقٌ and ↓ فُيَاقٌ: but these words are all correctly, in this [or a similar] sense with two káfs. (TA.) -A6- Also, accord. to the K, A certain aquatic bird, long in the neck: but this, likewise, is correctly with two káfs. (TA.)

فَوْق ذ is the contr. of تَحْت; (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K;) [primarily signifying The location that is above, or over; ] and is an adv. n. (Mgh, Msb, K) of place; (Mgh, Msb;) and a simple noun, indecl., [with dammeh for its termination, when the noun to which it should be prefixed is suppressed, and the meaning of this is intended to be understood, but not the word itself;] but when it is prefixed to another noun [which is either expressed or itself (and not merely its meaning) meant to be understood, and when the noun to which it should be prefixed is suppressed and neither this nor its meaning is meant to be understood,] it is declinable. (K. [For the words يَكُونُ ا@سْمًا وَظَرْفًا مَبْنِىٌّ, the reading of the K in the TA and CK, my MS. copy of the K (which I follow in this case) has يكون ظرفا واسما مبنيّا.]) One says, زَيْدٌ فَوْقَ السَّطْحِ [ Zeyd is above, or rather upon, the house-top ]. (Mgh, Msb.) And العِمَامَةُ فَوْقَ الرَّأْسِ [ The turban is above, or upon, the head ]. (Mgh.) And طَفَا فَوْقَ المَاآءِ It floated upon the water. (S &c. in art. طفو.) Ks has mentioned the saying, أَفَوْقَ تَنَامُ أَمْ أَسْفَلَ [ Dost thou, or wilt thou, sleep in the part that is above of the house &c., or in the part that is below? i. e., in the upper part, or in the lower part? ] with fet-h, as suppressing the noun to which فوق is [meant to be understood as] prefixed. (TA.) Lth says that he who uses it as a صِفَة [by which (like other old writers) he means an adv. n. of place] should use the accus. case, as when one says, عَبْدُ ا@للّٰهِ فَوْقَ زَيْدٍ [ 'Abd-Allah is above Zeyd ]: but if you make it simply a noun, you use the nom. case, and say, فَوْقُهُ رَأْسُهُ [ His superior (meaning upper ) part is his head ]; for in this instance it is the head itself, and you make each to be governed in the nom. case by the other. (TA.) In the saying in the Kur [xvi. 28], فَخَرَّ عَلَيْهِمُ ا@لسَّقْفُ مِنْ فَوْقِهِمْ [ And the roof fell on them from above them ], the utility of the phrase من فوقهم is hardly apparent, because عليهم sometimes serves in its stead: but IJ says that من فوقهم may here have a useful office; for عَلَى is sometimes used in relation to deeds [or events] that are difficult, and deemed onerous; [for instance,] you say, قَدْ سِرْنَا عَشْرًا وَبَقِيَتْ عَلَيْنَا لَيْلَتَانِ [ We have journeyed ten nights and the journeys two nights have remained as though incumbent on us ]; &c.; so that if it were said فخرّ عليهم السقف without the adding من فوقهم, it might be supposed to be like the saying عَلَيْهِمْ دَارُهُمْ قَدْ خَرِبَتْ [ Their abode had become in a state of ruin as a punishment upon them ]; but when He [referring to God] says من فوقهم, that meaning which was supposable ceases to be so; and the meaning becomes this, that it [the roof] fell when they were beneath it. (TA.) اـِذْ جَاؤُوكُمْ مِنْ فَوْقِكُمْ وَمِنْ أَسْفَلَ مِنْكُمْ [ When they came to you from above you and from below you ], in the Kur [xxxiii. 10], relates to Benoo- Kureydhah, who came to them from above them; and to Kureysh and Ghatafán, who came from the district of Mekkeh, from below them. (TA.) وَا@لَّذِينَ ا@تَّقُوا فَوْقَهُمْ يَوْمَ ا@لْقِيَامَةِ, in the Kur [ii. 208], means (assumed tropical:) [ But those who have been careful of their religious duties ] shall be above them in station [ on the day of resurrection ]. (O.) And one says, [agreeably with what has been stated in the first sentence of this paragraph, أَخَذَهُ مِنْ فَوْقُ, and أَخَذَهُ مِنْ فَوْقٍ, [meaning (assumed tropical:) He overcame him, or overpowered him, and in like manner أَتَاهُ من فوق, as expl. in the Ham p. 128. i. e. قَهَرَهُ namely, his adversary; and so a hawk, his pr? or quarry. (M and K in an expl. of أَدَلَّ عَلَيْه, in art. دل.) And [in a similar manner] فَوْق is metaphorically used as denoting excess, (Mgh, Msb.) and excellence: (Msb:) thus one says, العَشَرَةُ فَوْقَ التِّسْعَةِ (Mgh, Msb) i. e. (tropical:) Ten is above nine; meaning ten exceeds nine: (Msb:) and هٰذَا فَوْقَ ذَاكَ (Mgh, Msb) i. e. (tropical:) [ This is above, or superior to, that; ] meaning this is more excellent than that; (Msb:) and hence, (Mgh, Msb,) in the Kur iii. 24], (S, O,) بَعُوضَةً فَمَا فَوْقَهَا i. e. (tropical:) [ A gnat and ] what exceeds it (Mgh, Msb) in smallness, or in largeness; (Mgh, Msb, K;) what is smaller than it, (AO, S, O,) or what is larger than it, by the latter being meant the fly [mentioned in the Kur xxii. 72] and the spider [mentioned in xxix. 40], (Fr, S, O,) and the phrase as expl. in the former sense being like the reply to him who says “ Such a one is small ” ذٰلِكَ وَفَوْقَ i. e. (assumed tropical:) And smaller than that: (AO, O:) hence also, in the Kur iii. 12], فَاـِنْ كُنَّ نِسَاآءً فَوْقَ ا@ثْنَتَيْنِ (Mgh, Msb) i. e. (tropical:) [ And if they are women, ] exceeding two. (Msb.)

فُوقٌ ذ The part, of the arrow, which is the place of the bow-string; [i. e. the notch thereof;] (S, O, Msb, K;) as also ↓ فُوقَةٌ: (Msb, K;) the former is masc., and also, like the latter, fem. (IAmb, Msb:) and الفُوقَانِ signifies the زَنَمَتَانِ [or two cusps of the فُوق, between which is put the bow string ]; (O, K;) thus these are termed by the tribe of Hudheyl; but a poet who has used the dual form is said by AO to has mead thereby a single فُوق: (O:) the pl. [of mult.] is فُوَقٌ and [of pauc.] أَفْوَاقٌ; (S, O, Msb, K;) or, accord. to ISk, these are pls. of فُوقَةٌ; (TA;) and قُفًا also is a pl., formed by transposition; [see an ex. in a verse cited voce عُرْقُوبٌ;] (K, TA;) one says فُقْوَةٌ and فُقًا [for فُوقَةٌ and فُوَقٌ]. (TA.) سَهْمٌ ذُو فُوقٍ means An arrow rendered complete by its having a فُوق: ― -b2- and hence ذَا فُوقٍ occurring in a trad. [as meaning (assumed tropical:) A complete share; for سَهْمٌ signifies “ a share ” as well as “ an arrow ”]. (A'Obeyd, O.) And أَعْلَاهُمْ فُوقًا, meaning (tropical:) He, or they, of them, haring the largest share of religion, is a metaphorical phrase, from the فُوق of the arrow. (TA.) ― -b3- And they say, أَقْبِلْ عَلَى فُوقِ نَبْلِكَ, [or, app., فُوَقِ نَبْلِكَ, for نَبْلٌ is a coll. n., meaning “ arrows, ” or “ Arabian arrows, ”] meaning (assumed tropical:) Betake thyself to thy affair, and that which concerns thee. (TA.) ― -b4- And رَمَيْنَا فُوقًا, (O, K,) or فُوقًا وَاحِدًا, (TA,) meaning رِشْقًا [i. e. (tropical:) We shot in one direction; or we shot one bout, in one direction ], (O, K, TA.) ― -b5- [Hence, app.,] one says, كان فُلَانٌ لِأَوَّلِ فُوقِ, meaning (tropical:) Such a one was [for the first discharge from the bow, i. e.,] the first shot and dying. (A, TA.) ― -b6- And [hence, perhaps.] فُوقٌ signifies also (tropical:) A mode, or manner, of speech: (A, O, K:) pl. فُوَقٌ. (TA) One says to a man when he enters upon a mode, or manner, of speech, خَذْ فِى فُوقِ أَحْسَنَ مِنْهُ (tropical:) [ Enter upon a mode, or manner, of speech better than it ]. (A, TA.) ― -b7- And (tropical:) The first way (AA, O K, TA.) ― -b8- Hence. app., [they say, اِرْجَعْ اـِن شِئْتَ فِى فُوقٍ (tropical:) Return thou, if thou wilt, to the state of close, or loving, communion in which we were. (Ibn-'Abbád, Z, O,TA.) -b8- And the Arabs say, in imprecating, فُوقِهِ لَا رَجعَ فُلَانٌ اـِلَى i.e.(assumed tropical:) May such a one die: so says AA; and he cites the following verse of El-'Uleykim El-Kindee, مَا بَالُ عِرْسِى شَرِقَتْ بِرِيقِهَا ثُمَّتَ لَا يَرْجِعْ لَهَا مِنْ فُوقِهَا meaning (assumed tropical:) [ What is the case of my wife that she is choked by her spittle? Then, or afterward, ] may it (her spittle) not return to its channel [i. e. her throat, the way whence it came so that she may be suffocated). (O.) ― -b9- And one says (O, K) or a man when he has gone away, (O,) مَا ا@رْتَدَّ عَلَى فُوقِهِ, meaning (assumed tropical:) He went away and he did not return [ to the place whence he departed ] (O, K) ― -b10- فُوقٌ also signifies, (O, K.) accord. to Ibn-'Abbád, (O, TA.) (assumed tropical:) The vulva of a woman: (O, K. TA) but As says that this is with ق [in the place of the ف]: (TA:) [it is, however, also said that] فُوقُ الرَّحِمِ signifies (tropical:) the rima of the vulva, by way of comparison [to the notch of the arrow]. (TA, in the supplement to this art.) ― -b11- [And app. (assumed tropical:) The front edge of the lobe of the ear: see 1 in art حرم, when it is mentioned in such a manner as seems to preclude its being a mistranscription for قَوف] ― -b12- And (as Ibn-'Abbád says, O) (assumed tropical:) The place of opening (مَفْرَج, O. TA, in the K erroneously, مَخْرَج, TA, and جَوْبَة، O, K, TA) of the mouth: or (as some say, O) the extremity of the tongue. (O, K, TA.) ― -b13- And (assumed tropical:) The uppermost part of the penis, (En-Nadr, O, K, TA,) or of the glans thereof. (TA.) -A2- And, accord. to the K, A certain bird; mean ing a certain aquatic bird: but this is correctly [قُوقٌ,] with two káfs. (TA.) ― -b2- See also فَاقٌ, last sentence but one.

فِيقٌ ذ [originally فِوْقٌ]: see فِيقَةٌ. -A2- Also, as mentioned in this art and in art. فيق, in the K: see فَاقٌ, last sentence but one.

فَيَقٌ ذ and فِيَقٌ: see مُفِيقٌ.

فَاقَةٌ ذ Poverty, (S, O, K,) want, or need. (S, O, Msb, K.) One says, هُوَ ذُو فَاقَةٍ He is one who is in [ poverty or] want or need. (Msb.) (See 8.] It has no (unaugmented] verb. (TA.)

فُوقَةٌ ذ : see فُوقٌ, first sentence. -A2- And see also فَاقٌ, last sentence but one.

فَوَقَةٌ ذ : see فَائِقٌ [of which, as a part. n., it is a pl.].

(O.) [The strangeness of this explanation induces me to think that فَوْقَاآءُ is here a mistranscription for فَوْهَاآءُ, (see مَحَالَةٌ فَوْهَاآءُ, in art. فوه,) and that the explanation is partly conjectural.] ― -b3- And كَمَرَةٌ فَوْقَاآءُ A glans of a penis whereof the extremity is tapering in form, (O, K,) like that which is termed حَوْقَاآءُ.

(TA.) -A2- And the former, applied to a poet, is syn. with مُفْلِقٌ [i. e. One who poetizes admirably, or wonderfully. ]. (Aboo-Turáb, K. [But its verb is mentioned in the O and K in art. فيق.])

مُفَوَّقٌ ذ (tropical:) Food, and beverage, that is taken by little and little. (IAar, O, K, TA. [See its verb.]) -A2- Applied to an arrow, [ Having a notch made for the bow-string.

2 فَوَّمْتُ الخُبْزَ ذ I made bread, or the bread. (IJ, M.) [And] فَوِّمُوا لَنَا Make ye bread for us: (T, S:) a phrase said by Fr to have been heard from the Arabs as meaning thus. (T.)

فُومٌ ذ , a word occurring in the Kur ii. 58, (T, S, M, &c.,) is expl. as signifying the same as ثُومٌ [which generally means Garlic; but is said to have also the meaning here next following]; (T, S, M, Msb, K;) said to be a dial. var. of the latter word, but app. [if meaning “ garlic ”] formed, as IJ says, by the substitution of ف for ث; (M;) and 'Abd-Allah [Ibn-Mes'ood] read [in the Kur ubi suprà] وَثُومِهَا [instead of وَفُومِهَا]: (Fr, T, S:) it is also expl. as signifying wheat; (T, S, M, Msb, K;) which is said by Lh to be a meaning of ثُوم and فُوم; and if Ibn-Mes'ood read the word as ثوم, the meaning is فوم, i. e. “ wheat; ” (T;) accord. to Fr, it is an old word, signifying thus, (T, S, *) and also bread; (T, S, K;) Zj says that there is no difference of state- ment among the lexicologists as to its having the former of these two meanings, that it is said to have the latter also, and that it also signifies the other grains, beside wheat, whereof bread is made [which last meaning is also mentioned in the K]; (T;) and IJ holds that it is rightly expl. as having the first of these three meanings (i. e. “ wheat ”) and the last of them: (M:) another meaning assigned to it is حِمَّصٌ [i. e. cicer arietinum; or chick-peas ]; (S, K;) which is of the dial. of Syria: (S:) and it signifies also any عُقْدَة [app. meaning head of a plant, such as that] of an onion, or of a garlic: or a great gobbet of food: (K: [for أَوْ لُقْمَةٍ عَظِيمَةٍ in the CK, I read او لُقْمَةٌ عَظِيمَةٌ as in other copies of the K:]) in the dial. of Azd-es-Saráh, it is applied to ears of corn; and ↓ فُومَةٌ is its n. un.; (M;) this latter signifying an ear of corn, (S, K, TA,) as expl. by IDrd: (TA:) فُومٌ has فُومَانٌ [of the measure فُعْلَنَانٌ] for a pl., this being [virtually] a pl. pl.; mentioned by IJ, who says that the dammeh in فُومٌ is different from the dammeh in فُومَانٌ. (M, TA.)

قَطَعُوا الشَّاةَ فُوَمًا فُوَمًا ذ (M, K, *) means [ They cut the sheep, or goat, ] into a number of pieces; (M;) like فُؤَمًا. (K.)

فَامِىٌّ ذ , altered from فُومِىٌّ, A seller of فُوم [app. 3]. in any of its senses, but accord. to the TA as meaning wheat, or chick-peas ]: (S, K:) [or] a seller of fruit: (MA:) accord. to Az, (TA,) الفَامِىُّ means السُّكَّرِىُّ, (Mgh, TA,) who is called by the vulgar البَيَّاعُ [generally signifying the seller, or vender; perhaps here meaning the seller of sugar, though I do not anywhere find السُّكَّرِىُّ thus explained]; (Mgh;) but he says, “ I do not think it genuine Arabic. ” (TA.)

1 فَاهَ بِهِ ذ , (S, Msb, K,) aor. يَفُوهُ (S, Msb) and يَفِيهُ also, (ISd, TA,) inf. n. فَوْهٌ, (MA,) [and inf. n. of unity فَوْهَةٌ, (see Har p. 434,)] He uttered it, or pronounced it, (S, Msb, K,) namely, a saying; (S;) as also ↓ تفوّه. (S, K.) One says, مَا فُهْتُ بِكَلِمَةٍ, and ↓ ما تَفَوَّهْتُ, i. e. I opened not my mouth with a word, or sentence. (S.) فَاهَ لِسَانٌ, a phrase used by El-Hareeree, the Arabs did not say: they only said, فاه الرَّجُلُ بِكَذَا [ The man opened his mouth with such a thing, i. e., with such a saying, &c.]. (Har p. 191.) And هٰذَا أَمْرٌ مَا فُهْتُ عَنْهُ, inf. n. فُوُوهٌ [or فُؤُوهٌ ?], is a saying mentioned by Fr, as meaning This is a thing, or an affair, which I mentioned not, or have not mentioned.

(S, K.) ― -b2- شَدَّ مَا فَوَّهْتَ فِى هٰذَا الطَّعَامِ, [thus accord. to the TA, but an explanation of مُفَوَّهٌ seems to show that the right reading is فُوِّهْتَ, in the pass. form,] and ↓ تَفَوَّهْتَ, and ↓ فُهْتَ, means شَدَّ مَا أَكَلْتَ [app. Much indeed, or greatly indeed, didst thou eat, or hast thou eaten, of this food; see شَدَّ: and see also 10].

(TA.) [See also 2.] ― -b2- And He quenched his thirst by drinking. (K.)

فَاهٌ ذ : see what next follows: and see the next paragraph again, in the latter half: -A2- and the same word, and فَاهٍ, (the latter in two places,) see voce فَاوُوهَةٌ.

فُوهٌ ذ and ↓ فَاهٌ and ↓ فِيهٌ (K, TA) and, accord. to the copies of the K, فُوهَةٌ, [or, as in the CK, فَوْهَة,] but correctly ↓ فُوَّهَةٌ, (TA,) and فَمٌ, all signify the same [i. e. The mouth ]: (K, TA:) the pl. is أَفْوَاهٌ, (S, K, TA,) pl. of فُوهٌ, (S, TA,) and as such its case is plain; as pl. of فِيهٌ, it is like أَرْوَاحٌ as pl. of رِيحٌ; as pl of فَاهٌ, it is allowable as having و for its original medial radical; but as pl. of فُوَّهَةٌ, it is anomalous: (TA:) and another pl. is أَفْمَامٌ, (K, TA,) said by some to be pl. of فُمٌّ or فَمٌّ, with teshdeed, of which an ex. occurs in a verse cited in the first paragraph of art. فم; but some disallow this pl.; and accord. to some, (TA,) it has no sing. (K, TA) agreeable with rule, (TA,) for فَمٌ is originally فَوَهٌ, (K, TA,) with the و movent by fet-h, or [فَوْهٌ, as in some copies of the S,] with the و quiescent, on the authority of IJ; (TA;) the ه is elided, and the و becomes a movent final, therefore it must be changed into ا, because of the fet-hah preceding it, so the word becomes فا; but a noun may not be of two letters whereof one is [the ن of] the tenween, (K, TA,) thus the passage is expressed in the M, but MF remarks that correctly we should say whereof one is the ا, (TA,) and therefore a hard letter is substituted for it, one similar to it in kind, which is م, for they are both labials, and in the م is a sort of humming sound (هَوِىٌّ, in the CK هُوِىٌّ,) in the mouth, [or rather in the nose,] resembling [the sound of] the prolongation of the و: (K, TA:) [several similar disquisitions, added in the TA, respecting the change from فوه to فم, I omit, regarding them as needless: what is said on this subject in the S, in art. فم, I have mentioned in that art.:] in the present art., J says that the م of فم is a substitute for the ه, not for the و, of فوه; but this is a mistake: (IB, TA:) the dual of فَمٌ is فَمَانِ and فَمَوَانِ (IAar, S, Msb, K) and فَمَيَانِ, the second and third of which are anomalous: (IAar, K:) of the second, which occurs in a verse of ElFarezdak, [and respecting which see the first paragraph of art. فم,] Sb says that it is used by poetic license. (TA.) In using it as a prefixed noun, in the phrase هٰذَا فُوهُهُ, they deemed the combination of the two هs difficult in respect of utterance; therefore they suppressed the [radical] ه thereof [in this case, and then in other, similar, cases], and said, هٰذَا فُوهُ, and فُو زَيْدٍ, and رَأَيْتُ فَا زَيْدٍ, and مَرَرْتُ بِفِى زَيْدٍ: and when prefixing it to [the pronoun denoting] thyself, thou sayest, هٰذَا فِىَّ; and this thou dost alike in using it in the nom. case and in the accus. and in the gen., because the و [of فُو] is changed into ى and is then incorporated [into the pronominal ى]: (S, and the like is said in the Msb:) and sometimes, though rarely, they did the like in other cases, when not prefixing it; for instance, فَا occurs at the end of a verse of El-'Ajjáj, without an affix, in this case for فَاهَا. (S.) ― -b2- In the saying كَلَّمْتُهُ فَاهُ اـِلَى فِىَّ, meaning I spoke to him, his mouth being near to my mouth, فاه is in the accus. case as a denotative of state: (S, TA: *) or by reason of the derivative [مُكَلِّمًا] meant to be understood: or, as Sb says, it is an instance of one of the nouns that are put in the place of inf. ns., and it is not to be separated from what should follow it, so that you may not say كَلَّمْتُهُ فَاهَ [alone], for you tell of your nearness to the person, and that there is not any one between you and him: and if you will, you may use the nom. case, meaning وَهٰذِهِ حَالُهُ [ this being his state ], (Sb, TA,) i. e. فُوهُ اـِلَى فِىَّ [ his mouth was near to my mouth ], the clause [following كلّمته] occupying the place of a denotative of state. (TA.) ― -b3- The saying فَاهَا لِفِيكَ, (Meyd, K, TA,) which is a prov., (Meyd, TA,) means May God make the mouth of misfortune to cleave to thy mouth; (Meyd, K, * TA;) [but lit. signifies, only, her, or its, mouth to thy mouth; and is [likewise] an instance of one of the nouns that are used in the manner of inf. ns. expressive of imprecation, by reason of a verb not mentioned: Sb says, فاها is without tenween, meaning فَا الدَّاهِيَةِ, as is shown by the saying, وَدَاهِيَةٍ مِنْ دَوَاهِى المَنُو نِ يَرْهَبُهَا النَّاسُ لَا فَا لَهَا [ Many a misfortune is there, of the misfortunes of time, which men fear, that has no mouth, wherewith to bite]: (Sb, TA:) A'Obeyd says that its primary meaning is, may God make the ground to be in thy mouth; that it is like the sayings بِفِيكَ الحَجَرُ and بِفِيكَ الأَثْلَبُ; (S, Meyd;) and [hence] it means disappointment [cleave] to thee: (S, * Meyd:) a man of Belhujeym, (S, Meyd,) cited by A'Obeyd, (S,) addressing a wolf that sought to get his she-camel, (Meyd,) says, فَقُلْتُ لَهُ فَاهَا لِفِيكَ فَاـِنَّهَا قَلُوصُ ا@مْرِئٍ قَارِيكَ مَا أَنْتَ حَاذِرُهُ [ And I said to him, فاها لفيك, for she is the youthful she-camel of a man who will give thee as a guest's entertainment that which thou fearest ]; (S, Meyd; but in the S, as IB has observed, فَاـِنَّهُ is erroneously put for فَاـِنَّهَا;) i. e. [who will entertain thee with] the shooting of arrows; (Meyd;) [by قَارِيكَ] he means يَقْرِيكَ, from قِرَى الضَّيْفِ: (S:) it is also said that فَاهَا is metonymically used as meaning the dust of the earth, which is termed the mouth of the earth because it drinks the water; and it is as though the saying meant the dust be in thy mouth: (Meyd:) Sh is related to have said, I heard IAar say لِفِيكَ ↓ فَاهًا, with tenween, meaning may God make thy mouth to cleave to the ground; [or rather, ground to thy mouth; lit., simply, a mouth to thy mouth; ] and some say فَاهَا لِفِيكَ, without tenween, as an imprecation meaning (assumed tropical:) may God break thy فَم [i. e. thy teeth, to which فَم is often metonymically applied, as is also فُوه]. (TA.) ― -b4- One says also, سَقَى فُلَانٌ اـِبِلَهُ عَلَى أَفْوَاهِهَا, meaning (tropical:) Such a one drew for his [...]

فَوَهٌ ذ : see 1, last sentence. ― -b2- Also The quality of a مَحَالَة [or large sheave of a pulley ] such as is termed فَوْهَاآء, fem. of أَفْوَهُ, q. v. (TA.)

فِيهِ ذ : see its syn. فُوهٌ.

فُوهَةٌ ذ : see فُوَّهَةٌ, in five places.

فُوَّهٌ ذ Certain slender, long, red roots, with which one dyes; beneficial for the liver and the spleen and the نَسَا [app. as meaning sciatica or the sciatic nerve ] and pain of the hip and of the flank, powerfully diuretic, and kneaded with vinegar and applied as a liniment it cures the [ leprosy termed ] بَرَص: (K, TA:) but the word was not known to Az in this sense, [which is the only meaning, except one which I think doubtful, that I find assigned to it;] and it is said to be the فُوَّة [which see in art. فو, i. e. madder ]. (TA.) -A2- See also فُوَّهَةٌ.

فَيِّهُ ذ , originally فَيْوِهٌ: see مُفَوَّهٌ.

فُوَّهَةٌ ذ : see its syn. فُوهٌ. ― -b2- [Hence] it signifies also (tropical:) The فَم [i. e. mouth ] of a place; likened to the فَم [properly so called] as being the first place of ingress, or entrance, to the interior: (TA:) [and so too as being the place of egress, or exit, from the interior: ] it is of a river, or rivulet, (Lth, S, Msb, TA,) and of a valley, or water-course, or torrent-bed, (K, TA,) and of a street, and of a road; (S, Msb, K, TA;) signifying the فَم [or mouth ]; as also ↓ فُوهَةٌ, (K, TA,) without teshdeed; mentioned by IAar: (TA:) or it signifies thus in relation to a river, or rivulet; (Lth, Msb, TA;) the foremost part thereof: or, as some say, the place of its pouring into the كِظَامَة [q. v.]: and accord. to Lth, in relation to a valley, or water-course, or torrent-bed, its رَأْس [or head, as though in this case having one, or each, of two contr. meanings, unless, as I believe it to be, the mouth, or outlet, of a valley or water-course or torrent-bed be sometimes called its رأس as being its foremost part ]: (TA:) and of a street, it is the place of egress, or exit; (Msb;) the foremost part thereof: (TA:) and of a road, it is the فَم [or mouth ], which is the upper part thereof (اعلاه): (Msb: [thus in my copy; but I think that اعلاه is a mistranscription, in my copy, for أَوَّلُهُ, and that the correct meaning is therefore the foremost part thereof, agreeably with what is said above in relation to a road and to a river or rivulet:]) but accord. to some, ↓ فُوهَةٌ, without teshdeed, is not allowable; and one should say, الطَّرِيقِ قَعَدَ عَلَى فُوَّهَةٍ, and ↓ فُوَّهِهِ [probably, I think, a mistranscription for فوهِهِ, with the و quiescent, both meaning He sat at the mouth of the road ]; not ↓ فُوهَتِهِ, without teshdeed: (TA:) and فُوَّهَةٌ signifies also (assumed tropical:) the first, or foremost, part, of a thing; (K, TA;) like that of the street and that of the river or rivulet: [whence] one says, طَلَعَ عَلَيْنَا فُوَّهَةُ اـِبِلِكَ i. e. (tropical:) The first, or foremost, portion of thy camels [ came to us, or came forth upon us ]; like the phrase فُوَّهَةُ الطَّرِيقِ: (TA:) the pl. of فُوَّهَةٌ is أَفْوَاهٌ, (Ks, S, Msb, TA,) which is anomalous, (S, Msb, TA,) and (TA) فُوَّهَاتٌ [in the CK فُوْهاتٌ] and فَوَائِهُ. (K, TA.) [Hence] one says, دَخَلُوا فِى أَفْوَاهِ البَلَدِ وَخَرَجُوا مِنْ أَرْجُلِهِ, (A, K, * TA,) in the copies of the K أَرْجُلِهَا, which is wrong, (TA,) i. e. (tropical:) They entered into the foremost parts of the country, or town, and went forth from the hindermost parts thereof: (A, K, TA:) the sing. of أَفْوَاه as here used is فُوَّهَةٌ. (TA.) -A2- It signifies also A say, or saying, or speech; (S, K, TA;) from 1 in the first of the senses assigned to it above: hence one says, اـِنَّ رَدَّ الفُوَّهَةِ لَشَدِيدٌ (S, TA) Verily the retracting of that which has been said is difficult: (Har p. 434:) and [hence] one says also, هُوَ يَخَافُ فُوَّهَةَ النَّاسِ [ He fears the say, or speech, of men ]. (TA.) ― -b2- And The Muslims' rending one another's reputation by evil speech, or by backbiting; (K, TA;) as also ↓ فُوهَةً. (TA.) ― -b3- اـِنَّهُ لَذُو فُوَّهَةٍ means Verily he is strong in speech, and free, or unconstrained, in tongue. (TA.) ― -b4- And one says, مَا أَشَدَّ فُوَّهَةَ بَعِيرِكَ فِى هٰذَا الكَلَأِ, meaning [ How vehement is ] thy camel's eating [ of this herbage ]! and in like manner, فُوَّهَةَ فَرَسِكَ [ the vehement eating of thy horse ]: whence their saying أَفْوَاهُهَا مَجَاسُّهَا [which may be well rendered as it has been in art. جس, q. v.], meaning Their good eating shows thee their fatness, causing thee to be in no need of feeling them to test their condition. (TA.) -A3- And Milk, as long as there remains in it the taste of sweetness; (K, * TA;) as also ↓ فُوهَةٌ; and sometimes correctly said with ق, i. e. [قُوهَةٌ,] without teshdeed. (TA.)

فَاوُوهَةٌ ذ A man who reveals, or discloses, everything that is in his mind; as also ↓ فَاهٍ, (Fr, S, TA, [but omitted in one of my copies of the S,]) and ↓ فَاهٌ: (Fr, TA:) and بِجُوعِهِ ↓ فَاهٍ one who reveals his hunger; originally فَائِهٌ, like as they said هَارٍ and هَائِرٌ. (TA.)

أَفْوَهُ ذ Having what is termed فَوَهٌ, meaning as expl. in the last sentence of the first paragraph [i. e. width of the mouth, &c.]; fem. فَوْهَاآءُ; (S, K, TA;) the former applied to a man, and the latter to a woman; (S, TA;) and in like manner to horses. (TA.) فَوْهَاآءُ شَوْهَاآءُ, applied to a woman, means Wide-mouthed, ugly: and, applied to a mare, wide-mouthed, long-headed: or sharp in spirit. (TA.) ― -b2- [Hence,] بِئْرٌ فَوْهَاآءُ A widemouthed well. (K.) ― -b3- And طَعْنَةٌ فَوْهَاآءُ A wide wound made by piercing. (K.) ― -b4- And مَحَالَةٌ فَوْهَاآءُ [ A large sheave of a pulley ] (S, K, TA) that is wide (K, TA) and (TA) whereof the teeth between which runs the well-rope are long. (S, TA.)
