غَضَفٌ ذ [inf. n. of غَضِفَ (q. v.): and, as a simple subst.,] Laxness, or flabbiness, in the ear: (S, O, K:) or, as in the T, a laxness, or flabbiness, of the upper part [ of each ] of the two ears, upon, or over, the concha thereof, by reason of its width and its largeness: (TA:) Aboo-'Amr Esh-Sheybánee says, after citing a verse of Abu-n-Nejm, describing a lion, that it signifies a twisting, in the ear, backwards: accord. to ISh, it is, in the lion, a laxness, or pendulousness, of the upper eyelids, upon the eyes; arising from anger and pride: (O:) and he says that, accord. to some, it is, in the lion, abundance of the fur, and a folding, or creasing, of the skin. (TA.) And one says, [app. in relation to the lion,] ↓ فِى أَشْفَارِهِ غَضْفٌ and غَضَفٌ [app. In the edges of his upper eyelids is a laxness, or pendulousness ]; both meaning the same.

غَاضِفٌ ذ : see أَغْضَفُ, in two places. ― -b2- Also [applied to a man] Soft, or easy, and plentiful, in his circumstances. (S, O, K.)

أَغْضَفُ ذ , applied to a dog, Relaxed, or flabby, in the ear; pl. غُضْفٌ; (S, O, K;) occurring in a verse of Dhu-r-Rummeh, cited voce عَذَبٌ; (O, TA;) and the fem. غَضْفَاآءُ is applied [to a bitch, and] to an ear: (TA:) or a dog having the upper part of his ear folded, or creased, backwards; and ↓ غَاضِفٌ when it is forwards.

One says, مَا غَضَنَكَ عَنَّا What withheld, hindered, or diverted, or has withheld, &c., thee from us? (S.) In the “ Nawádir ” of IAar, this verb, which is correctly thus, with ض, is erroneously with ص.

(TA.) One says also, تَغَضَّنَتِ الدِّرْعُ عَلَى لَابِسِهَا The coat of mail became folded, [or it hung, or sat, with folds, ] upon its wearer. (TA.)

4 اغضى ذ , (K,) inf. n. اـِغْضَاآءٌ, (S,) He contracted his eyelids; drew them near together; (S, K;) like غَضَّ; (TA in art. غض;) [and] so اغضى عَيْنَهُ; said of a man: (Msb:) or he closed his eyelids upon his iris; so in the M; as also ↓ غَضَا, a dial. var. of اغضى, likewise mentioned by ISd; and ↓ غَضَى, aor. يَغْضَى, is also a dial. var. thereof: (TA:) or he made one of his eyelids to cleave to the other, that he might not see a thing, by reason of shame: (Har p. 19:) or he put one of his eyelids upon the other from dislike of a thing.

غَضًا ذ , said by Th to be written [thus] with ا but ISd says, I know not why this is; (TA;) [the latter, it seems, holding its last letter to be originally ى, not و;] A species of trees, (S, Msb, K,) well known, (K,) the wood of which is of the hardest of wood, and therefore there is hardness in its charcoal; (Msb;) it is of the plants of the sands, and has [ sprigs, or foliage, of the kind termed ] هَدَب [q. v.], like that called أَرْطًى; (TA;) and its fire is of long continuance: (Har p. 60:) [see also رِمْثٌ: Mr. Palgrave (in his Travels, i. 38,) describes it as a shrub believed by him to be peculiar to the Arabian Peninsula, “ of the genus Euphorbia, with a woody stem, often five or six feet in height, and innumerable round green twigs, very slender and flexible, forming a large feathery tuft, not ungraceful to the eye, while it affords some kind of shelter to the traveller, and food to his camels: ” ] the sing.
