قَسَاحٌ ذ : see قَسَحٌ.

قُسَاحٌ ذ : see قَاسِحٌ ― -b2- [You say also] اـِنَّهُ لَقُسَاحٌ ↓ مَقْسُوح (T, K) Verily he is dry or hard. (TA.)

(TA.)

5 تَقَسَّرَ and 8: see 1.

قَسْوَرٌ ذ (S, TA) and قَسْوَرَةٌ, (K, TA,) the former a coll. gen. n., and the latter the n. un., (M,) A certain plant, (S, M, K,) which grows in plain, or soft, land; (M, K;) a sour plant, of the kind called نَجِيل, which is like the جُمَّة [or full and long hair of the head ] of a man, and becomes tall and large, of which camels are greedily fond, (AHn, M,) and which fattens them, and makes them plentiful in milk. (Az, TA.) Lth is in error in saying that the former signifies a huntsman, or hunter; for it signifies a plant, as IAar and AHn and others have said. -A2- See also قَسْوَرَةٌ, in two places.

قَسْوَرَةٌ ذ Mighty; (M, K;) that overpowers, or subdues, others: (M, TA:) also strong; applied to a man: and courageous: (TA:) pl. قَسَاوِرُ. (M.) ― -b2- A lion; as also ↓ قَسْوَرٌ: (S, M, K:) because he overcomes and overpowers. (TA.) So in the Kur, [lxxiv. 51,] كَأَتَّهُمْ حُمُرٌ مُسْتَنْفِرَةٌ فَرَّتْ مِنْ قَسْوَرَةٍ [ As though they were asses taking fright and running away at random that have fled from a lion ]. (S, M.)

(S.) ― -b3- Hunters that shoot, or cast: (S, K:) sing. ↓ قَسْوَرٌ; (K;) accord. to Lth.; [and in the M it is said that ↓ قَسْوَرٌ signifies a shooter, or caster: or, accord. to some, a hunter: ] but this is a mistake; for قسورة is a coll. n., having no sing.; and Fr says, that in the verse of the Kur cited above, it means shooters, or casters of missile weapons: it is also related of 'Ikrimeh, that it was said to him that قسورة signifies, in the Abyssinian language, a lion; but he said that is signification is that given above on the authority of Fr, and that the lion in the Abyssinian language is called عَنْبَسَة: and Ibn-'Arafeh says قسورة is of the measure فَعْوَلَةٌ from القَسْرُ; and that the meaning [in the Kur] is, as though they were asses made to take fright and run away by shooting or hunting &c. (TA.) Or, accord. to I'Ab, in the passage above cited, it has the signification here next following. (IKt, TA.) -A2- The sound of men, (IKt, K, TA,) and their voices, or cries. (IKt, TA.)

قَوْسَرَةٌ ذ and قَوْسَرَّةٌ dial. forms of قَوْصَرَةٌ and قَوْصَرَّةٌ, which see. (M, K.)

2 قسّطهُ ذ , (IAar, M, TA,) inf. n. تَقْسِيطٌ, (IAar, TA,) He distributed it; or dispersed it. (IAar, M, TA.) It is implied in the K that the verb in this sense is ↓ قَسَطَ, of three letters [only, without teshdeed]. (TA.) You say, قسّط المَالَ بِيْنَهُمْ He distributed the property among them. (TA.) And قسّط الخَرَاجَ عَلَيْهِمْ He assigned the several portions which each one of them should pay of the [ tax called ] خراج: (TA:) or قسّط الخَرَاجَ, inf. n. as above, signifies he assessed, or apportioned, the خراج (Mgh, Msb) with equity and equality, (Mgh,) to be paid at certain times. (Msb.) ― -b2- قسّط عَلَى عِيَالِهِ النَّفَقَةَ, (TA,) inf. n. as above, (K,) He was niggardly, or parsimonious, towards his household in expenditure. (K, * TA.)

(TA.) It is said in the Kur, [iv. 3,] وَاـِنْ خِفْتُمْ أَلَّا تُقْسِطُوا فِى اليَتَامَى [ And if ye fear lest ye should not act equitably with respect to the orphans ]: (Mgh:) or, accord. to one reading, ↓ تَقْسُطُوا, with damm to the س. (TA.) And you say also, أَقْسَطْتُ بَيْنَهُمْ [ I acted equitably between them ], and اـِلَيْهِمْ [ towards them ]. (TA.)

5 تَقَسَّطُوا الشَّىْءِ بَيْنَهُمْ ذ They divided the thing among themselves (Lth, S, * M [in which last بينهم is omitted] and O, L, K) equitably, (M, O,) or equitably and equally, (L,) or with equality. (Lth, K.) You say also, المَالَ بَيْنَهُمْ ↓ اـِقْتَسَطُوا They divided the property among themselves; (TK;) اـِقْتِسَاطٌ being syn. with اـِقْتِسَامٌ. (K.)

8 اـِقْتَسَطَ see 5.

قُسْطٌ ذ a dial. var. of كُسْطٌ, or, accord. to Yaakoob, the ق is a substitute [for ك]; (M;) said by IF to be Arabic; (Msb;) [ Costus; so in the present day;] a certain substance, (AA, Msb,) or perfume, (Mgh,) or wood, (M,) or a certain Indian wood, and also Arabian, (K,) with which one fumigates; (AA, M, Mgh, Msb;) well known; (Msb;) also called كُسْطٌ and كُشْطٌ (AA) and قُشْطٌ: (TA in art. قشط:) or a wood which is brought from India, and which is put into the substances used for fumigating, and into medicine: (Lth:) or a certain drug of the sea: (S:) [it is said in the S and TA, voce حِنْزَابٌ, that the carrot of the (جَزَرُ البَحْرِ) is called قُسْطٌ:] in a trad., القُسْطُ البَحْرِىُّ [or قُسْط of the sea ] is mentioned as one of the best of remedies: and in another trad., قُسْط is coupled by the conjunction و with أَظْفَار, or, accord. to one relation thereof, is prefixed to the latter word, governing it in the gen. case: and IAth says, that it is a sort of perfume: but some say that it is aloes-wood (عُود, q. v.): [see also ظَفَارِىٌّ:] and others, a well-known drug, of sweet odour, with which women and infants are fumigated: (TA:) it is diuretic, beneficial to the liver in a high degree, and for the colic, and for worms, and the quartan fever, as a beverage; and for rheum, and defluxions, and pestilence, when the patient is fumigated therewith; and for the [ leprous-like disorder called ] بَهَق, and the [ discolouration of the face termed ] كَلَف, when applied as a liniment; (K;) and it confines the bowels, expels wind, strengthens the stomach and heart, occasions pleasurable sensation, is an ingredient in many sorts of perfume, and is the best of perfumes in odour when one fumigates therewith. (TA.)

قِسْطٌ ذ Equity; justice: (S, * M, Mgh, Msb, K: *) [an inf. n. having no proper verb, or] a subst. from أَقْسَطَ. (Mgh, Msb.) -A2- Equitable; just: (S, * M, K:) an inf. n. used as an epithet, like its syn. عَدْلٌ; (M, K;) and [therefore] applied alike to a sing. n.

(M.) -A3- A portion, share, or lot; (S, M, Msb, K;) of a thing; (K;) and pertaining to a person: (TA:) pl. أَقْسَاطٌ. (Msb.) You say, وَفَّاهُ قِسْطَهُ He gave him in full his portion, share, or lot.

(So accord. to an explanation of the pl., أَقْسَاطٌ, in the TA.) ― -b3- The means of subsistence: (K:) or the portion thereof which is the share of every created being. (TA.) يَخْفِضُ القِسْطَ وَيَرْفَعُهُ, said of God, in a trad., has been explained as meaning He maketh the portion of the means of subsistence which is the share of any created being little, and maketh it much.

(TA.) Sometimes it is used for performing the ablution termed وُضُوْء: and hence it is said in a trad., اـِنَّ النِّسَاآءَ مِنْ أَسْفَهِ السُّفَهَاآءِ اـِلَّا صَاحِبَةَ القِسْطِ وَالسِّرَاجِ; (K;) the قِسْط being here the vessel in which the وضوء is performed; (TA;) the meaning app. being, [ Women are of the most lightwitted of the lightwitted, ] except she who serves her husband, and assists him to perform the وضوء, [so I render تُوَضِّئُهُ,] and takes care of the vessel which he uses for that purpose, and stands at his head with the lamp: (K:) or who performs his affairs with respect to his وضوء and his lamp.

Some say that this is its meaning in the phrase mentioned above, يَخْفِضُ القِسْطَ وَيَرْفَعُهُ He depresseth the balance, and raiseth it: alluding to the means of subsistence which He decrees. (TA.)

قَاسِطٌ ذ Declining, or deviating, from the right course; acting unjustly, wrongfully, injuriously, or tyrannically: pl. قَاسِطُونَ (S, M, Mgh, TA) and قُسَّاطٌ. (TA.) You say, هُوَ قَاسِطٌ غَيْرُ مُقْسِطٍ He is declining, or deviating, from the right course; &c.: not acting equitably, or justly. (TA.) And it is said in the Kur, [lxxii. 15,] أَمَّا ا@لْقَاسِطُونَ فَكَانُوا لِجَهَنَّمَ حَطَبًا [ As for the deviators from the right course, they shall be fuel for hell ]. (S, M, Mgh.) [See also عَادِلٌ.] ― -b2- القَاسِطُونَ is also specially applied to The party of Mo'áwiyeh; (Mgh;) the people of Siffeen. (TA.) ― -b3- [And it has the contr. meaning, i. e. Acting equitably, or justly. See, again, عَادِلٌ.]

أَقْسَطُ ذ More [and most ] equitable, just, or right: occurring in the Kur, ii. 282, and xxxiii. 5: (TA:) formed from the triliteral verb [قَسَطَ], not from the quadriliteral [أَقْسَطَ], as some assert it to be, holding it anomalous. (MF.)

قُسْطَاسٌ ذ and قِسْطَاسٌ A balance, or instrument for weighing: (S, Msb, K; and Bd in xvii. 37:) or the most even and most just kind thereof: or such as is just, of whatever kind it be: (K:) or i. q. قَبَّانٌ [ a steelyard ]: or, as Lth thinks, the iron of the قبّان: or i. q. شَاهِينٌ [the beam of a balance ]: (TA:) or i. q. فَرَسْطُونٌ [an arabicized Persian word, signifying a public standard of weights or measures ]: (Zj, TA:) also written قصطاس: (K:) said to be Arabic, from القِسْطُ, meaning “ justice: ” (Msb:) or a Greek word arabicized; (IDrd, Msb, K;) and its being so does not impugn the truth of the Kur-án's being [altogether] Arabic; for when a foreign word is used by the Arabs, and made by them conformable with their language in respect of desinential syntax and determinateness and indeterminateness and the like, it becomes Arabic: (Bd, ubi supra:) pl. قَسَاطِيسُ. (Msb.)

(S, M.) ― -b2- And [hence, app.,] A certain plant, (M, O, K,) resembling the مَقِر, (M, [which is generally said to mean the aloe, and by AHn to be a certain plant consisting of leaves without branches, agreeably with what follows, in the O and K resembling the مَفْد,]) from the middle whereof there rises a stalk, which, when it grows tall, bends down its top by reason of its succulence, or suppleness; having upon its head a fruit (ثَمَرَةٌ, M, O, [in the TA عقدة,]) with which birds of prey are killed, (M, O,) being poisoned therewith by its being put into flesh and thrown where they alight: he who prepares it stops up his nose; if he do not, it injures him; and people fear to pasture their cattle near to the places of its growth lest the animals should come in contact with it and should break it or bruise it and it should exhale its odour upon them and kill them: thus says AHn, on the authority of some one or more of the Arabs of the desert, of the Saráh (السَّرَاة). (O.) ― -b3- And Anything unclean, dirty, or filthy; as also ↓ قَشَبٌ: (M, TA:) or anything that is deemed unclean, dirty, or filthy. (Mgh.) ― -b4- Rust (K, TA) upon iron: (TA:) or dirt upon a sword. (A, TA.) ― -b5- The refuse, that is thrown away, as being of no good, of طَعَام [i. e. wheat, or other food]. (M, TA.) ― -b6- See also [the pl.] أَقْشَابٌ, voce قَاشِبٌ. ― -b7- Also, i. e. قِشْبٌ A man in whom is no good; (K, TA;) and (TA) so قِشْبٌ خِشْبٌ; (S, M, O, TA;) or this means with whom is no good: the latter word is an imitative sequent. (TA in art. خشب.) [See also قِشْبَةٌ.] ― -b8- And Dry, or tough, and hard. (M, TA. [Like قَسْبٌ.]) -A2- And القِشْبُ signifies The نَفْس [here meaning جَسَد, i. e. body, as is shown below, voce قَاشِبٌ]. (O, K.)

قَشَبٌ ذ : see قِشْبٌ, in two places.

قِشْبَةٌ ذ A low, vile, ignoble, or mean, man, (IDrd, M, O, K, TA,) possessing no good: (TA:) of the dial. of El-Yemen. (IDrd, M, O, TA.) [See also قِشْبٌ, last quarter.] ― -b2- And The young one of the ape, or of the monkey: (M, O, K:) so, IDrd says, some assert; (O;) but he doubted its correctness; (M, O, TA;) and the right word is قِشَّةٌ. (M, TA.)

قَشِيبٌ ذ Food mixed with poison: (M, TA:) and anything poisoned; as also ↓ مُقَشَّبٌ. (Nh, TA.) [Hence,] نَسْرٌ قَشِيبٌ A vulture for which poison is mixed in flesh-meat, which he eats, and which kills him; and then his feathers are taken: (S, O:) a vulture killed by means of غَلْثَى [q. v.].

(K.) ― -b2- And, (S, M, O, K,) as also ↓ قَشِبٌ, (M,) New: (S, M, O, K:) ― -b3- and Old, and worn-out: (M, O, K:) thus having two contr. meanings: (O, K:) the former used alike as masc. and fem.; applied to a garment; and its pl. is قُشُبٌ [and by contraction قُشْبٌ, mentioned by Golius on the authority of Meyd]. (M.) ― -b4- And the former, applied to a sword, (S, O, K,) Polished: (K:) or recently polished: (S, O:] ― -b5- and, (O, K,) so applied, (A, O, K,) Rusty: (O, K:) or dirty: (A:) thus, again, having two contr. meanings.
