[and dual] and pl. without مِنْ and without the article ال and without its being prefixed to another noun: you say, مَرَرْتُ بِرَخُلٍ اآخَرَ, and بِرِجَالٍ أُخَرَ and اآخَرِينَ, and بِاٌمْرَأَةٍ, and بِنِسْوَةٍ [ I passed by another man, and by other men, and by another woman, and by other women; ] therefore, as it [namely اـُخَرُ] is thus made to deviate from its original form, [i. e. اآخَرُ, (I' Ak p. 287,) which is of a class of words used, when indeterminate, alike as sing. and dual and pl.,] and is [essentially and originally] an epithet, it is imperfectly decl., though a pl.: but when you name thereby a man, it is perfectly decl., when inderminate, accord. to Akh, or imperfectly decl. accord. to Sb.

See also الأُخْرَى voce اآخِرٌ. ― -b2- لَا أَفْعَلُهُ أُخْرَى اللَّيَالِى, (S, K,) or اخرى المَنُونِ, (K,) means I will not do it ever: (S, K:) or the latter, I will not do it to the end of time.

(TK in art. جهم.) You say, جَاآءِ اآخِرًا and ↓ أَخِيرًا and ↓ أُخُرًا and ↓ بِأَخَرَةٍ, all meaning the same [ He came lastly, or latterly ]: and in like manner, ↓ مَا عَرَفْتُهُ اـِلَّا أَخِيرًا and ↓ الّا بِأَخَرَةٍ [ I did not know it save at the last, or lastly, or latterly ]: (S:) or ↓ جَاآءِ أَخِيرًا and ↓ أُخُرًا and ↓ أَخْرَةٌ and ↓ بِأُخْرَةٍ and ↓ أُخَرَةٍ and ↓ بِأُخَرَةٍ (K,) or ↓ أُخْرَةٌ and ↓ بِأُخْرَةٍ (Lh, L,) and بِاآخِرَةٍ (TA) and ↓ اـِخْرِيَّا and ↓ أُخْرِيَّا and ↓ اـِخِرِيَّا and ↓ اآخِرِيَّا (K) mean he came lastly of everything. (K.) It is said in a trad., respecting Mohammad, اـِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَقُومَ مِنَ المَجْلِسِ ↓ كَانَ يَقُولُ بِأَخَرَةٍ كَذَا وَكَذَا He used to say, at the end of his sitting, when he desired to rise from the place of assembly, thus and thus: or, accord. to IAth, it may mean, in the last, or latter, part of his life.

(S,* K,* TA.) ↓أُخُوَّةٌ is also [used as] a simple subst., (TA,) signifying Brotherhood; fraternity; the relation of brother; as also ↓اـِخَاآءٌ and مُؤَاخاةٌ; and ↓تَأَخٍ: (Lth, TA:) and the relation of sister. (S.) You say, بَيْنِى وَبَيْنَهُ أُخُوَّةٌ and ↓اـِخَاآءٌ [&c., meaning] Between me and him is brotherhood. (JK, TA.) And ↓بَيْنَ السَّمَاحَةِ وَالحَمَاسَةِ تَأَخٍ (assumed tropical:) [ Between liberality and courage is a relation like that of brothers ]. (TA.) And خُوَّةٌ is a dial. var. of أُخُوَّةٌ, occurring in a trad. (IAth, TA.) -A2- [It is also trans.] You say, أَخَوْتُ عَشَرَةً I was, or became, a brother to ten. (TA.)

2 أَخَّيْتُ لِلدَّابَّةِ ذ , (S, K,) or الدَّابَّةَ, (Msb, [so accord. to a copy of that work, but probably this is a mistranscription,]) inf. n. تَأْخِيَةٌ, (S, Msb, K,) I made an اآخِيَّة [q. v.] for the beast, (Msb, K,) and tied the beast therewith; (Msb;) [and so, app., ↓ اآخَيْتُ (which, if correct, is probably of the measure أَفْعَلْتُ); for it is related that] an Arab of the desert said to another, لِى اآخِيَّةً ↓ اآخِ أَرْبِطُ اـَلَيْهَا مُهْرِى [ Make thou for me an اآخيّة to which I shall tie my colt ]. (TA.) And you say, فُلَانٌ فِى فُلَانٍ اآخِيَّةً فَكَفَرَهَا ↓ اآخِى (assumed tropical:) Such a one did a benefit to such a one, and he was ungrateful for it. (TA.) [But perhaps اآخِ and اآخَى in these two exs. are mistranscriptions for أَخِّ and أَخَّى.]

3 اآخاهُ اآخاه اآخاة , (S, K,) vulgarly وَاخَاهُ, (S,) or the latter is a dial. var. of weak authority, (K,* TA,) said by some to be of the dial. of Teiyi, (TA,) inf. n. مُؤَاخَاةٌ and اـِخاآءٌ (S, K) and وِخَاآءٌ, (K) and [quasi-inf. n.] ↓ اـِخَاوَةٌ (Fr, K) and وِخَاوَةٌ, (CK,) He fraternized with him; acted with him in a brotherly manner: (S,* K,* PS, TK:) A'Obeyd mentions, on the authority of Yz, اآخَيْتُ and وَاخَيْتُ, and اآسَيْتُ and وَاسَيْتُ, and اآكَلْتُ and وَاكَلْتُ: the pret. is said to be thus assimilated to [a form of] the fut.; for they used [sometimes] to say, يُوَاخِى, changing the hemzeh into و. (IB, TA.) ― -b2- It is said in a trad., اآخَى بَيْنَ المُهَاجِرِينَ وَالأَنْصَارِ, meaning He united the emigrants [to El-Medeeneh] with the assistants [previously dwel-ling there] by the brotherhood of El-Islám and of the faith. (TA.) You say also, اآخَيْتُ بَيْنَ الشَّيْئَنْنِ [ I united the two things as fellows, or pairs ]; and sometimes one says, وَاخَيْتُ, like as one says, وَاسَيْتُ, for اآسَيْتُ; mentioned by ISk. (Msb.) ― -b3- See also 1, in three places.

4 اآخَوَ see 2, in three places.

5 تَأَخَّيْتَ ذ , and the inf.n. تَأَخٍ: see 1, in three places. -A2- تَأَخَّيْتُ أَخًا I adopted a brother: (S, K:) or [تَأَخَّيْتُهُ signifies] I called him brother. (K.) ― -b2- تَأَخَّيْتُ الشَّىْءَ, (S, K, TA,) or بِالشَّىْ, (Msb,) I sought, endeavoured after, pursued, or endeavoured to reach or attain or obtain, the thing; (S, Msb, K, TA;) as the brother does the brother; and in the same manner the verb is used with a man for its object: but تَوَخَّيْتُ, in the same sense, is more common. (TA.) You say, تَأَخَّيْتُ مَحَبَّتَكَ I sought, &c., thy love, or affection. (TA in art. وخى.)

6 تَاآخَيَا تاآخيا They became brothers, or friends or companions or the like, to each other. (S,* TA.)

أَخٌ ذ , (S, Msb, K,) originally أَخَوٌ, (Kh, S, Msb,) as is shown by the first of its dual forms mentioned below, and by its having a pl. like اآبَاآءٍ, (S,) and أَخٌّ, (K,) with the second letter doubled to compensate for the و suppressed, as is the case in أَبٌّ, (TA,) and ↓ أَخًا, [like أَبًا,] and ↓ أَخُو, (IAar, K, TA, [the last, with the article prefixed to it, erroneously written in the CK الاُخُوٌّ,]) and ↓ أَخْوٌ, like دَلْوٌ, (Kr, K,) a well-known term of relationship, (K, TA,) i. e. A brother; the son of one's father and mother, or of either of them: and also applied to a foster-brother: (TA:) and (assumed tropical:) a friend; and a companion, an associate, or a fellow: (K:) derived from اآخِيَّةٌ [q. v.]; as though one أَخ were tied and attached to another like as the horse is tied to the اآخيّة: (Har p. 42 :) or, accord. to some of the grammarians, it is from وَخَى meaning قَصَدَ; because the أَخ has the same aim, endeavour, or desire, as his أَخ: (TA:) when أَخ is prefixed to another noun, its final vowel is prolonged: (Kh:) you say, هذَا أَخُوكَ [ This is thy brother, &c.], and مَرَرْتُ بِأَخِيكَ [ I passed by thy brother, &c.], and رَأَيْتُ أَخَاكَ [ I saw thy brother, &c.] : (S: [in which it is also asserted that one does not say أَخُو without prefixing it to another noun; but this is inconsistent with the assertion of IAar and F, that الأَخُو is a syn. of الأَخُ:]) the dual is أَخَوَانِ, (S, Msb, Kur xlix. 10, Ham p. 434,) or أَخْوَانِ, with the خ quiescent, (TA, [but this I have found nowhere else,]) and some of the Arabs say أَخَانِ, (S, Msb,) and Kr mentions أَخُوَانِ, with damm to the خ, said by IB to occur in poetry, and held by ISd to be dual of أَخُو, with damm to the خ: (TA:) the pl. is اـِخْوَةٌ and اـِخْوَانٌ, (S, Msb, K, &c.,) the former generally applied to brothers, and the latter to friends [or the like ], (T, S,*) but not always, as in the Kur xlix. 10, where the former does not denote relationship, and in xxiv. 60 of the same, where the latter does denote relationship, (T, TA,) and sometimes the former is applied to a [single] man, as in the Kur iv. 12, (S,) and أُخْوَةٌ, (Fr, S, Msb, K, [in the CK اَخْوَةٌ,]) or this is a quasi-pl. n., (Sb, TA,) and أُخْوَانٌ, (Kr, Msb, K,) and اآخَاآءٌ, (S, K,) like اآبَاآءٌ, (S,) and أُخُوٌّ, and أُخُوَّةٌ, (ISd, K,) the last mentioned by Lh, and thought by ISd to be formed from the next preceding by the addition of ة characterizing the pl. as fem., (TA,) and أَخُونَ, (S, Msb, K,) and اخاوون. (Msb: [there written without any syll. signs, and I have not found it elsewhere.]) The fem. of أَخٌ is ↓ أُخْتٌ [meaning A sister: and (assumed tropical:) a female friend, &c.]: (S, Msb, K, &c. :) written with damm to show that the letter which has gone from it is و; (S;) the ت being a substitute for the و; (TA;) not to denote the fem. gender, (K, TA,) because the letter next before it is quiescent: this is the opinion of Sb, and [accord. to SM] it is the correct opinion: for Sb says that if you were to use it as a proper name of a man, you would make it perfectly decl.; and if the ت were to denote the fem. gender, the name would not be perfectly decl.; though in one place he incidentally says that it is the sign of the fem. gender, through inadvertence: Kh, however, says that its ت is [originally] ه [meaning ة]: and Lth, that أُخْتٌ is originally أَخَةٌ: and some say that it is originally أَخْوَةٌ: (TA:) the dual. is أُخْتَانِ: (Kh:) and the pl. is أَخَوَاتٌ. (Kh, S, Msb, K.) The saying لَا أَخَالَكَ بِفُلَانٍ [ Thou hast no brother, or (assumed tropical:) friend, in such a one ] means لَيْسَ لَكَ بِأَخٍ [ such a one is not a brother, or friend, to thee ]. (S, K.) It is said in a prov., مَنْ لَكَ بِأَخِيكَ كُلِّهِ [ Who will be responsible to thee for thy brother, or (assumed tropical:) thy friend, altogether? i. e., for his always acting to thee as a brother, or friend]. (JK.) And in another, رُبَّ أَخٍ لَكَ لَمْ تَلِدْهُ أُمُّكَ [(assumed tropical:) There is many a brother to thee whom thy mother has not brought forth ]. (TA.) And in another, أَخُوكَ أَمِ الذَّئْبُ [ Is it thy brother, or the wolf? ]; said in suspecting a thing: as also أَخُوكَ أَمِ اللَّيْلُ [ Is it thy brother, or is it the night that deceives thee?]. (Har p. 554.) And another saying is, الرُّمْحُ أَخُوكَ وَرُبَّمَا خَانَكَ [(assumed tropical:) The spear is thy brother, but sometimes, or often, it is unfaithful to thee ]. (TA.) ― -b2- Ibn-'Arafeh says that when أُخُوَّةٌ does not relate to birth, it means conformity, or similarity; and combination, agreement, or unison, in action: hence the saying, هذَا الثَّوْبُ أَخُو هذَا [(assumed tropical:) This garment, or piece of cloth, is the like, or fellow, of this ] : and hence the saying in the Kur [xvii. 29], كَانُوا اـِخْوَانَ الشَّيَاطِينِ (assumed tropical:) They are the likes, or fellows, of the devils: and in the same [xliii. 47], ↓ اـِلَّا هِىَ أَكْبَرُ مِنْ أُخْتِهَا (assumed tropical:) But it was greater than its like, or fellow; i. e., than what was like to it in truth &c. (TA.) It is said in a trad., النَّوْمُ أَخُ المَوْتِ [ Sleep is the like of death ]. (El-Jámi' es-Sagheer.) One says also, لَقِىَ فُلَانٌ أَخَا المَوْتِ (assumed tropical:) Such a one met with the like of death. (Msb, TA.) And they said, لَهَا ↓ وَمَاهُ اآللّٰهُ بِلَيْلَPٍ لَا أُخْتَ [(assumed tropical:) God afflicted him with a night having none like to it ], i. e., a night in which he should die. (TA.) And لَا أُكَلِّمُهُ اـِلَّا أَخَا السِّرارِ (assumed tropical:) I will not speak to him save the like of secret discourse. (As, TA.) [And hence,] سُهَيْلٍ ↓ أُخْتَا [(assumed tropical:) The two sisters of Canopus;] the two stars called الشّعْرَى العَبُورُ and الشّعْرَى الغُمَيْصَاآءُ. (S and K in art. شعر, q. v.) ― -b3- يَاَ أَخَا بَكْرٍ, or تَمِيمٍ, means (assumed tropical:) O thou of [the tribe of] Bekr, or Temeem. (Ham p. 284.) ― -b4- Lh mentions, on the authority of Abu-d-Deenár and Ibn-Ziyád, the saying, القُمْمُ بِأَخِى [...]
