لَاشَ ذ an abbreviation of لَاشَىْءَ [ Nothing ]. It is generally used coupled, or connected, with a word of similar form; as in the saying المَاشُ خَيْرٌ مِنْ لَاشَ, which see in art. موش. (TA.)

3 لاوص ذ , (K,) inf. n. مُلَاوَصَةٌ, (M,) He looked to the right and left as though he desired, or sought, a thing: (M:) or he looked as though he were deceiving, or beguiling, to seek to obtain, or attain, a thing; (Lth, K;) as also ↓ لَاصَ, inf. n. لَوْصٌ. (Lth.) -A2- لاوصهُ بِعَيْنِهِ, (M, TA,) inf. n. as above, (M, A, K,) He looked, (M,) or glanced, (A, K,) at him, or it, from the interstice of a door, (M, A, K,) and the like, (A, K,) or of a curtain; (M;) as also ↓ لَاصَهُ, (M,) inf. n. لَوْصٌ: (M, A, K:) or the former verb has the signification here first given. (M.) ― -b2- لاوص الشَّجَرَ He looked (S, A, K) to the right and left (A, K) to see how he might come to the trees, (S, K,) to pull them up, or out, (S,) or to cut them with the axe, and to see how he might strike them, (K,) or to see how he might cut them. (A.) ― -b3- And hence, لَاوَصَنِى فُلَانُ عَنْ كَذَا Such a one endeavoured to turn me by deceit, or guile, from such a thing. (A.) [Hence also,] مَا زِلْتُ أُلَاوِصُهُ عَنْ كَذَا, (M,) and عَنْهُ ↓ أُلِيصُهُ, (M, TA,) I ceased not to endeavour to turn him from such a thing; i. e. to endeavour to induce him to leave, or relinquish, such a thing; syn. أُديرُهُ عَنْهُ: (M, TA:) and عَلَى كَذَا ↓ أُلَاصَهُ, (S, K,) and لَاوَصَهُ عَلَيْهِ, (M, K, art. دور,) he endeavoured to turn him to, or induce him to do, such a thing, (أَدَارَهُ عَلَيْهِ,) desiring, or seeking, it of him. (S, K.) Hence the saying of 'Omar to 'Othmán, respecting the sentence declaratory of belief in the unity of God, (TA,) ↓ هِىَ الكَلِمَةُ ا@لَّتِى أَلَاصَ عَلَيْهَا النَّبِىُّ صَلَّى ا@للّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَمَّهُ (S, TA) It is the sentence which the Prophet ( God bless and save him ) endeavoured to induce and entice his uncle to utter; (TA;) meaning Aboo-Tálib, (S, TA,) when dying. (TA.) And hence the phrase in another trad., عَلَى خَلْعِهِ ↓ وَ اـِنَّكَ لَتُلَاصُ And verily thou wilt be urged with enticement, and solicited, to divest thyself of it. (TA.) [Said by Mohammad to 'Othmán.

(TA.) ― -b3- لَاتَهُ حَقَّهُ, aor. يَلِيتُ, inf. n. لَيْتٌ; and ↓ أَلَاتَهُ; but the former is the more approved; as also أَلَاتَهُ and أَلِتهُ; He diminished unto him his due, or right: [or defrauded him of part thereof. ]. (TA.) It is said in the Kur, [xlix. 14,] لَايَلِتْكُمْ مِنْ أَعْمَالِكُمْ شَيْئًا He will not diminish unto you, nor defraud you of, aught [ of the reward ] of your works. (Fr, Zj.) ― -b4- مَا أَلَانَهُ شَيْئًا; as also مَا أَلَتَهُ (and مَا أَلتَهُ; TA;) He did not diminish unto him aught. (Fr, S, K.) In مَا أَلَتْنَاهُمْ مِنْ عَمَلِهِمْ مِنْ شَىْءٍ, in the Kur, [lii. 21, q. v. in art. ألت.] the verb may be from أَلَتَ or from أَلَاتَ. (TA.) ― -b5- الحَقَّ ↓ بِتُّ أُلِيتُ in a verse of 'Orweh Ibn-El-Ward, signifies أُحِيلُهُ and أُصْرِفُهُ [ I passed the night putting away ( from my mind the thought of ) death: the poet having just before mentioned the death of certain of his camels]. (Sh, L.) ― -b6- In the following saying, الحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ الَّذِى لَا يُفَاتُ وَلَا يَلَاتُ وَلَا تَشْتَبِهُ عَلَيْهِ الأَصْوَاتُ [ Praise be to God, whom nothing will escape, (lit., who will not be escaped, see Kur xxxiv. 50, and 1 in art. فوت,) and —, and to whom voices will not be confused, or undistinguishable, one from another! ], لا يلات is from أَلَاتَ, a dial. var. of لَاتَ, aor. يلِيتُ, in the sense of نَقَصَ, and signifies unto whom one cannot diminish [ aught that is his due ], and whom prayer cannot be hindered from reaching: so accord. to IAar: or, accord. to Khálid Ibn Jembeh, upon whom nothing that any one saith can have any power; (expl. by لا يأخد فيه قول قائل;) i. e., who obeyeth no one. (L.) ― -b7- لَاتَ شَيْاً, aor. يَلِيتُ, He concealed a thing that he knew, and told, or narrated, something different from it. (TA, art. لوث, q. v.) ― -b8- لَاتَهُ, aor. يَلِيتُ, inf. n. لَيْتٌ, He expressed to him the news, or information, obscurely, or enigmatically, or obscured it to him, or concealed it from him: so accord. to As, and the like is said in the L: but accord. to some, the verb is لَاتَهُ, aor. يَلُوتُ, q. v., in art. لوت. (TA, art. لوت) ― -b9- وَلَاتَ حِينَ مَنَاصٍ, occurring in the Kur, [xxxviii. 2,] (S,) [there meaning, accord. to the general opinion, When ( it, or the time, ) was not a time of flight: in other cases, and ( it, or the time, ) is, or was, not a time of flight ]. لات is here likened to لَيْسَ; and the name of the agent is understood. (S, K.) So says Akh, accord. to J; but this is the opinion of Sb: so in the margin of some copies of the S. (TA.) Or لات is originally لا; and the ت is added, as in ثُمَّتَ [in the CK, ثَمَّت,] (El-Muärrij, S, K,) and رُبَّتَ. (El-Muärrij, S.) ― -b10- With respect to the proper meaning and etymology of لات there are four opinions. First, that it is a single word, a verb in the pret. tense: and some say, that it is originally لَاتَ in the sense of نَقَصَ, and afterwards used as a negative, like قَلَّ: so says Aboo-Dharr El-Khushanee, in his Expos. of the Book of Sb: others, that it is originally لَيِسَ; that its س is changed into ت, and then the ى into ا, because it is movent and preceded by fet-hah: so says Abu-r-Rabeea. Second, that it is two words, the negative لا, with the fem. ت, added to make the word fem., as say IHsh and Er-Radee, or to render the negation more intensive, as is said in the Expos. of the Katr by the author of the latter work: and this is the general opinion. Third, that it is an independent word, not originally ليس nor لا; as related by the sheykh Aboo-Is- hák Esh-Shátibee alone. Fourth, that it is a word and a part of a word, namely the negative لا, and ت prefixed to حين; which opinion is ascribed to A'Obeyd [as is mentioned in the S] and Ibn-El-Taráweh: the former of whom argues in favour of this opinion from the fact that ت is found so prefixed in Othmán's copy of the Kur-án; but this is no proof, because there are found in the writing of that copy things at variance with analogy. (TA.) تَحِينَ [however] occurs, without لات, in the following verse of Aboo-Wejzeh: العَاطِفُونَ تَحِينَ مَا مِنْ عَاطِفٍ وَالمُطْعِمُونَ زَمَانَ أَيْنَ المُطْعِمُ [ The persons who act affectionately in the time when there is none ( other ) that acts affectionately; and the feeders in the time when ( it is said ) Where is the feeder? ] (S.) The general opinion is favoured by the following facts: that لات is pronounced in a case of pause لَاتْ and لَاهْ: that it is written separately from حين: and that it is sometimes written لَاتِ, with kesreh to the ت, as is mentioned by Z, agreeably with the fundamental rule with respect to the concurrence of two quiescent letters [when followed by a conjunctive ا]; whereas, were it a verb in the pret. tense, there would be no reason for its being written with kesreh: it is also written لَاتُ, with dammeh to the ت: and both these variations occur in readings of the Kur-án: but لَاتَ, with fet-hah to the ت, is the most common. (TA.) ― -b11- With respect to its government there are also four opinions. First, that it has no government: that if a noun in the nom. case follow it, it is put in that case as an inchoative of which [as is mentioned in the S] the enunciative is [...]

لَيْتَ ذ a word denoting a wish [signifying Would that —; I wish that —;] (S, K;) generally relating to a thing that is impossible; rarely to a thing that is possible: (IHsh, K:) governing the subject in the acc. case, and the predicate in the nom. case, (S, K,) like كَأَنَّ (or [rather] اـِنَّ, MF) and its coordinates, because it resembles verbs in their force as words, [being composed of at least three letters, and the last being meftoohah,] and in their admitting most of the pronouns as affixes, and in their meanings. (S.) Ex. لَيْتَ زَيْدًا ذَاهِبٌ [ Would that Zeyd were going; ] (S;) and لَيْتَنِى فَعَلْتُ كَذَا وَكَذَا [ Would that I had done so and so. ] (TA.) You say لَيْتِى as well as لَيْتَنِى, (S, K,) like لَعَلِّى and لَعَلَّنِى, and اـِنِّى and اـِنَّنِى: (S:) but ليتنى is more common than ليتى; whereas لعلّنى is less common than لعلّى. (TA.) You also say يَا لَيْتَ O, would that —;.] As to the saying of the poet, يَا لَيْتَ أَيَّامَ الصِّبَا رَوَاجِعَا meaning لَنَا رَوَاجِعَ, [ O, would that the days of youth were returning ( to us )!] رواجع is put in the acc. case therein as a word descriptive of state: (S:) or it is governed in the acc. case by a verb understood, as أَقْبَلَتْ, or عَادَتْ, or some other verb suitable to the meaning: so says Sb: (TA:) or ليت in the above verse may be used in the manner of وَجَدْتُ, [see below], (S,) for ليت is sometimes used in the manner of وَجَدْتُ [I found], (Fr, S, K,) in government, not in meaning, (MF,) as related by the grammarians on the authority of certain of the Arabs, so that it is doubly transitive, and used in the manner of verbs: (S:) you say, لَيْتَ زَيْدًا شَاخِصًا [ Would that Zeyd were going away, &c. ]: (S, K:) this is done to give intensiveness: one says, for this purpose, لَيْتَ زَيْدًا قَائِمًا ( Would that Zeyd were standing ) putting both the subject and the predicate in the acc. case. (Msb.) ― -b2- لَيْتَمَا: see De Sacy's Gr. Ar. ii. 63. ― -b3- See also an ex. of ليت as a subst. voce سَوْفَ.

(TA.) ― -b2- اللَّيْثُ (S, K) and ↓ اللَّائِثُ (K) The lion: (S, K:) said to be from لَيْثٌ as signifying “ strength ”: accord. to Kr, from لَوْثٌ, as signifying the same: ISd says, that, if so, the ى is changed from و; but that this is not a valid opinion: yet Suh and several others agree with Kr: pl. لُيُوثٌ, and, as some say, مَلْيَثَةٌ, like مَشْيَخَةٌ and مَسْيَفَةٌ: (TA:) fem. لَيْثَةٌ; pl. لَيْثَاتٌ. (Msb.) ― -b3- لَيْثُ عِفِرِّينَ The lion: (AA, S:) or an animal like the chameleon, that opposes itself to the rider; so called in reference to عفرّين, the name of a town or district. (As, S.)

1 لَيْسَ ذ a word denoting negation: (S, A, K:) it is a verb in the pret. tense, (S, A, K, Mughnee,) having no other tense, (Sb, S, M, Msb, Mughnee,) nor a part. n. nor an inf. n.; (Sb, M, Msb; *) of the measure فَعِلَ; (Mughnee;) originally لَيِسَ, from which it is contracted by the suppression of a vowel, (Sb, * S, M, * K, Mughnee, *) being found difficult of pronunciation, (S,) [i. e.,] to render it easy to pronounce, (K,) like عَلْمَ for عَلِمَ, (Sb, M,) the ى not being changed into ا (Sb, S, M) because it is imperfectly inflected, being used in the pret. form for the present, (S,) [i. e.,] because it has no future, nor part. n., nor inf. n., nor derivation, wherefore, not being perfectly inflected like its coordinates, it is made like that which is not a verb, as لَيْتَ: (Sb, M:) what shows it to be a verb, (S, Mughnee,) not a particle occupying the place of مَا, as Ibn-Es-Sarráj and some others after him have asserted, (Mughnee,) though not perfectly inflected like [other] verbs, (S,) is their saying لَسْتَ and لَسْتُمَا (S, Mughnee) and لَسْتُمْ (S) and لَيْسَا and لَيْسُوا and لَيْسَتْ [&c.], (Mughnee,) like as they say ضَرَبْتَ and ضَرَبْتُمَا and ضَرَبْتُمْ [&c.]: (S:) we have not determined its measure to be فَعَلَ, because this is not contracted; nor فَعُلَ, because there is no verb of this measure with ى for its medial radical letter, except هَيُؤَ; but لُسْتَ has been heard; so, accord. to this form, it may be like هَيُؤَ: (Mughnee:) the Benoo-Dabbeh say لُسْتُ and لُسْنَا in the sense of لَسْتُ and لَسْنَا; and some of them say لِسْتُ: (TA, art. لوس:) but Sb says, that the Arabs did not say لِسْتَ, like as they said خِفْتَ, because ليس is not perfectly inflected like [other] verbs. (M.) [There is also another opinion respecting its origin, which will be mentioned in the course of this article.] It [is generally a particular (not a universal) negative, and] denotes the negation of a thing at the present time; (M, Mughnee;) [i. e.] it denotes [thus] the negation of its predicate: (Msb:) and has the same government as the verbكَانَ and its coordinates; (S;) governing the subject in the nom., and the predicate in the accus.: (S, Mughnee:) as when you say, لَيْسَ زَيْدٌ قَائِمًا [ Zeyd is not a person standing ]: (Msb:) and by means of the context, it denotes the negation of a thing at a time not the present; as in the saying of El-Aashà [respecting Mohammad], لَهُ نَافِلَاتٌ مَا يُغِبُّ نَوَالُهَا وَلَيْسَ عَطَاآءُ اليَوْمِ مَانِعَهُ غَدَا [ He has bounties the bestowing of which is not on alternate days; and the giving of to-day will not be a preventer of it to-morrow ]; and [sometimes when it is followed by a verb, as] in the saying, لَيْسَ خَلَقَ ا@للّٰهُ مِثْلَهُ [ God has not created the like of him, or it. ] (Mughnee.) But it differs from its coordinates in that the prep. بِ may be prefixed to its predicate: as in the saying, لَيْسَ زَيْدٌ بِمُنْطَلِقٍ [ Zeyd is not going away ]; the ب being a means of the verb's being trans., and also corroborative of the negation: and one may optionally not introduce it, because one may do without the corroborative, and because some verbs are trans. sometimes by means of a prep. and sometimes without a prep., as اِشْتَقْتُكَ and اِشْتَقْتُ اـِلَيْكَ. (S.) It also differs from its coordinates in that its predicate may not be put before it: for you may say مُحْسِنًا كَانَ زَيْدٌ, but not مُحْسِنًا لَيْسَ زَيْدٌ: (S:) or some allow this latter; but others disallow it. (Ibn- 'Akeel on the Alfeeyeh, section on كان and its coordinates.) It is also used as an exceptive particle, (S, M, Mughnee,) in the place of اـِلَّا; (S, Mughnee;) in which case [also] its subject [which is understood] is in the nom. case, and its predicate in the accus.: (S:) you say, جَاآءَنِى القَوْمُ لَيْسَ زَيْدًا [ The company of men came to me, except Zeyd ]; as though you said, لَيْسَ الجَائِى زَيْدًا. (S, M: but in the latter, instead of جاءنى, we find أَتَى; and instead of الجائى, we find الاآتِى.) You may also say, جَاآءَنِى القَوْمُ لَيْسَكَ [ The company of men came to me, excepting thee ]; but the separate pronoun, اـِيَّاكَ, is here better. (S.) When the predicate after it is connected with اـِلَّا, as in the ex. here next following, Benoo-Temeem make it in the nom. case: thus they say, لَيْسَ الطِّيبُ اـِلَّا المِسْكُ [ It is not perfume, except musk; meaning, nothing is perfume except musk]: which has been resolved is several ways; some holding الطيب to be the subject of ليس: but its being peculiar to the dial. of Temeem refutes the explanations here referred to: some, again, hold ليس to be here used as a particle; and so in the saying لَيْسَ خَلَقَ ا@للّٰهُ مِثْلَهُ, mentioned above. (Mughnee.) Sometimes it is used in the sense of لَا التَّبْرِئَةِ [the لا which denies in a general manner to the uttermost, i. e., universally, or totally]; as is said in the K, except that in all the copies thereof we find وَاـِنَّمَا put by mistake for وَرُبَّمَا: (TA:) [so in the saying in the Kur, ii. 194, لَيْسَ عَلَيْكُمْ جُنَاحٌ, which is the same as لَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْكُمْ in verse 235 of the same chapter, meaning, There shall be no crime, or sin, chargeable upon you ]. Sometimes, also, it is used as a connective particle, (Mughnee,) in the sense of لا so used: (TA:) as in the saying [of a poet], أَيْنَ المَفَرُّ وَالاـِلٰهُ الغَالِبُ وَالأَشْرَمُ المَغْلُوبُ لَيْسَ الغَالِبُ [ Where is the place of flight when God is the pursuer, and El-Ashram (meaning Abrahah) is the overcome, not the overcomer? ]: which has been resolved by supposing الغالب to be the subject of ليس, and the predicate to be suppressed; the latter being said by Ibn-Málik to be an annexed pronoun referring to El-Ashram; so that the meaning is لَيْسَهُ الغَالِبُ [ the overcomer is not he ]. (Mughnee.) It is said (M, K) by Fr, (M,) and also by Kh, (TA,) that the original of لَيْسَ is لَا أَيْسَ; (M, K [in the latter of which I read أَوْ أَصْلُهُ, as in several copies of the K, or rather أَوْ أَصْلُهَا, [...]
