4 اذقن ذ is said by Golius, as on the authority of the KL, to signify Opem tulit in tollenda re: but the word explained in the KL as signifying the doing this is the inf. n. of ازقن, not of اذقن.]

(S, K.) You say also, خِرُّوا لِأَذْقَانِهِمْ [ They fell down prostrate, with their chins to the ground: see the Kur xvii. 108 and 109]: and [hence,] عَصَفَتْ رِيحٌ فَخَرَّتِ الأَشْجَارُ لِلْأَذْقَانِ (tropical:) [ A wind blew violently, so that the trees fell, or bent themselves down to the ground ]: (A in art. خر:) and هَبّتِ الرِّيحُ فَكَبَّتِ الشَّجَرَ عَلَى أَذْقَانِهَا (tropical:) [ The wind blew, and overturned, or threw down, or bent down, the trees ]: and, of a stone, كَبَّهُ السَّيْلُ لِذَقَنِهِ (tropical:) The torrent overturned it. (TA.) ― -b2- The hair that grows upon the chin: used in this sense by the vulgar; and said by Esh-Shiháb El-Khafajee, in the “ Shifá el-Ghaleel, ” to be post-classical: Z says, in the “ Rabeea el-Abrár, ” that it signifies the beard in the language of the Nabathæans.

(S, TA.) [See also الحَاقِنَةُ.] Hence the prov., لَأُلْحِقَنَّ حَوَاقِنَكَ بَذَوَاقِنِكَ [explained in art. حقن]: الذَّوَاقِنُ, accord. to Az, means the lower part of the belly.

He sought to remember ]: and also signifies He studied a book and preserved it in his memory, accord. to the K; but accord. to other lexicons, he studied a thing in order to remember it, or preserve it in his memory: (TA:) you say, بِدِرَاسَتِهِ ↓ استذكر He sought to remember by his studying of a book. (A.) ― -b2- ذَكَرَ حَقَّهُ, (K,) inf. n. ذِكْرٌ (TA,) He was mindful of his right, or claim; and did not neglect it. (K.) Agreeably with this explanation, the words in the Kur [ii. 231, &c.,] وَا@ذْكُرُوا نِعْمَةَ ا@للّٰهِ عَلَيْكُمْ have been rendered And be ye mindful of, and neglect not to be thankful for, the favour of God conferred upon you: like as an Arab says to his companion, اُذْكُرْ حَقِّىعَلَيْكَ Be thou mindful of my claim upon thee; and neglect it not. (TA.) ― -b3- [In like manner also are explained the words] وَا@ذْكُرُوا مَا فِيهِ in the Kur [ii. 60], And study ye what is in it, and forget it not: or think ye upon what is in it: or do ye what is in it. (Bd.) ― -b4- One says, مَا ا@سْمُكَ أَذْكُرْ, (Fs and Lb, and so in a copy of the K,) or أَذْكُرْهُ, (so in another copy of the K, and in the TA,) the hemzeh of أَذْكُرْ being disjunctive, (Lb, K,) [in the CK we find مَا اسمُكَ اَذْكِرْهُ بقطعِ الهَمْزَةِ مِنْ اَذْكَر, as though the reading were أَذْكَرْهُ with a disjunctive hemzeh from أَذْكَرَ, which is manifestly wrong,] and with fet-h, because it is the hemzeh of the first person of a triliteral [unaugmented] verb, and with the ر mejzoom, because it is the complement of an interrogative phrase: (Lb:) it is expressive of disapprobation, (Lb, K,) and means, Acquaint me with thy name: [or, lit., what is thy name? ] I will remember it, or I will bear it in mind (اذكره): the conditional phrase [if thou tell it to me] is suppressed because unnecessary, on account of frequent usage of the saying, and because what remains is indicative of it: (Lb, MF:) the saying is a prov.; and is also related with the conjunctive hemzeh, [ا@ذْكُرْ, or ا@ذْكُرْ; in which case it is most appropriately rendered, What is thy name? Say: or Tell it ] but the reading with the disjunctive hemzeh is that which is commonly known: (TA:) [for] -A2- ذَكَرَهُ, aor. ذَكُرَ , (TA,) inf. n. ذِكْرَى, fem., [and imperfectly decl,] (Msb,) and ذِكْرٌ and ذُكْرٌ, (TA,) [or the former of these two (which is the most common of all) but not the latter, or, as is said in the Msb, both are properly substs., and a distinction is made between them, as will be shown below,] also signifies He mentioned it; told it; related it; said it; (TA;) and so ذَكَرَهُ بِلِسَانِهِ [to distinguish it from ذَكَرَ in the first sense explained above]. (S, Msb.) You say ذَكَرْتُ لِفُلَانٍ حَدِيثَ كَذَاوَكَذَا I mentioned, or told, or related, to such a one the story of such and such things. (TA.) And ذَكَرَ ا@مْرَأُ بِمَا لَيْسَ فِيهِ [ He mentioned, or spoke of, a man as having that attribute which was not in him ]. (El-Jámi' es-Sagheer voce مَنْ) ― -b2- And ذَكَرَهُ (assumed tropical:) He magnified Him, namely, God; celebrated, lauded, or praised, Him; asserted his unity; (Zj;) [saying سُبْحَانَ ا@للّٰهِ, and الحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ, and اَللّٰهُ أَكْبَرُ; or لَااـِلَاهَ اـِلَّاا@للّٰهُ; or هُوَا@للّٰهُ; or the like.] ― -b3- [And, in like manner, (assumed tropical:) He spoke well of him, namely, a man; mentioned him with approbation; eulogized, praised, or commended, him: for ذَكَرَهُ بِالجَمِيلِ, or بِخَيْرٍ See ذِكْرٌ below.] ― -b4- Also, contr., [for ذَكَرَهُ بِالقَبِيحِ or بِشَرٍّ] (assumed tropical:) He spoke evil of him; men- tioned him with evil words; (Fr;) mentioned his vices, or faults; spoke evil of him behind his back, or in his absence, saying of him what would grieve him if he heard it, but saying what was true; or merely said of him what would grieve him: an elliptical expression in this and in the contrary sense; what is meant being known. (Zj.) One says to a man, لَئِنْ ذَكَرْتَنِى لَتَنْدَمَنَّ, meaning [ Verily, if thou mention me ] with evil words [ thou will assuredly repent ]: and in like manner the verb is used in the Kur xxi. 37 and 61: and 'Antarah says, لَاتَذْكُرِى فَرَسِى وَمَا أَطْعَمْتُهُ فَيَكُونَ جِلْدُكَ مِثْلَ جِلْدِ الأَجْرَبِ meaning Mention [...]

2 ذكّرهُ اـِيَّاهُ ذ , (S, A, * Msb, K,) and ذكّرهُ بِهِ, (Kur xiv. 5, &c.,) inf. n. تَذْكِرَةٌ (A, TA) and تَذْكِيرٌ, (K, TA,) and quasi-inf. n. ↓ ذِكْرَى imperfectly decl.; (A, * K, * TA;) and ايّاهُ ↓ اذكرهُ; (S, Msb, K;) He reminded him of, or caused him to remember, him, or it. (S, Msb, K.) ― -b2- And ذكّر, (TA,) inf. n. تَذْكِيرٌ (K) [and تَذْكِرَةٌ also, as in the Kur xx. 2], He exhorted; admonished; exhorted to obedience; gave good advice, and reminded of the results of affairs; reminded of what might soften the heart, by the mention of rewards and punishments. (K, TA.) Thus the verb is used in the Kur lxxxviii. 21. (TA.) -A2- Also ذكّرهُ, inf. n. تَذْكِيرُ, He made it (a word) masculine; contr. of أَنَّثَهُ. (S, * Msb, K. *) ― -b2- In the Kur [ii. 282], فَتُذَكِّرَ اـِحْدَاهُمَا الأُخْرَى is said by some to signify (assumed tropical:) That one of them may make the other to be in the legal predicament of a male: [meaning that both of them together shall be as one man:] or, accord. to others, one of them may remind the other. (TA.) ― -b3- It is said in a trad., فَذَكِّرُوهُ ↓ القُرْاآنُ ذَكَرٌ (tropical:) The Kur-án is eminently excellent [lit., masculine ]: therefore do ye hold it and know it and describe it as such. (K, TA. [In the CK, for ذَكَرٌ is put ذِكْرٌ.]) ― -b4- [Hence,] ذكّرهُ, (TA,) inf. n. تَذْكِيرٌ, (K,) He put to it, namely a sword, (TA,) and the head of an axe &c., (K,) an edge of steel. (K, * TA.)

ذَكَرٌ ذ [probably originally signifying “ mentioned, ” or “ talked of, ” of the measure فَعَلٌ in the sense of the measure مَفْعُولٌ, like نَفَضٌ in the sense of مَنْفُوضٌ, and خَبَطٌ in the sense of مَخْبُوطٌ, and قَبَضٌ in the sense of مَقْبُوضٌ, &c.; and hence the first, and perhaps most others, of the significations here following:] Male; masculine; of the male, or masculine, sex, or gender; contr. of أُنْثَى: (S, A, Msb, K, &c.:) [the corresponding word in Hebrew ( ) has been supposed to have this signification because a male is much “ mentioned, ” or “ talked of; ” and it is well known that the Arabs make comparatively little account of a female:] pl. ذُكُورٌ (S, A, Msb, K) and ذُكُورَةٌ (A, Msb, K) and ذِكَارٌ (K) and ذِكَارَةٌ and ذُكْرَانٌ (S, A, Msb, K) and ذِكَرَةٌ: (S, K:) [the last, in one copy of the S, I find written ↓ ذِكْرَةٌ, which, if correct, is a pl. of pauc.: and in the TA, in the same phrase in which it occurs in the S, it is written ↓ ذُكْرَةٌ, and expressly said to be with damm, so that it is a quasi-pl. n.:] the pl. form with و and ن is not allowable. (Msb.) One says, كَمِ الذِّكَرَةُ مِنْ وَلَدِكَ, or ↓ الذِّكْرَةُ, (accord. to different copies of the S,) or ↓ الذُّكْرَةُ, with damm, (accord. to the TA,) How many are the males of thy children?

(T and A in art. انث.) The signification of “ strong, courageous, and stubborn, ” and the significations which the same word has when applied to rain and to a saying, are assigned in the K to ↓ ذِكْرٌ; but [SM says,] I know not how this is; for in the other lexicons they are assigned to ذَكَرٌ.

See 2. ― -b9- Applied to a saying, (tropical:) Strong and firm: and in like manner to poetry. (A.) ― -b10- The Arabs disliked a she-camel's bringing forth a male; and hence they applied the term ذَكَرٌ, met., to (tropical:) Anything disliked.

They said, أَصَابَتِ الأَرْضَ ذُكُورُ الأَسْمِيَةِ (tropical:) Rains bringing intense cold and torrents fell upon the earth. (A.) ― -b12- Applied to a day, (tropical:) [ Severe; distressing; hard to be borne: see also مُذَكَّرٌ]. (A.) ― -b13- IDrd says, I think that the name الذكر [so in the TA, without any syll. signs; app. الذَّكَرُ] is applied by some of the Arabs to السِّمَاكُ الرَّامِحُ [or the star Arcturus ]. (TA.)
