5 تقصّص ذ and تَقَصَّى : see 8. -A2- تقصّص أَثَرَهُ: see قَصَّ اثره. ― -b2- تقصّص الخَبَرَ: see قَصَّ عَلَيْهِ الخَبَرَ. ― -b3- تقصّص كَلَامَهُ He preserved in his memory his speech, or discourse. (AZ, M, K.)

6 تقاصّوا ذ They made themselves quits, or even, one with another, by retaliation, (M, TA,) slaying for slaying, or wounding for wounding. (M.) A poet says, فَرُمْنَا القِصَاصَ وَكَانَ التَّقَاص صُ حُكْمًا وَعَدْلًا عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَا [ And we sought retaliation so as to make a party quit, or even, with us; for people's making themselves quits, or even, one with another, by retaliation, is a statute, and an act of justice, appointed to the Muslims ]: in which التَّقَاصُّ is an instance of a deviation from a general rule, as it presents two quiescent letters together in poetry; wherefore some relate it differently, saying, القِصَاصُ: and there is no other instance of the kind excepting one verse cited by Akh: وَلَوْلَا خِدَاشٌ أَخَدْتُ دَوَاب بَ سَعْدٍ وَلَمْ أَعْطِهِ مَا عَلَيْهَا but Aboo-Is-hák thinks, that, if this verse be genuine, the right reading is دَوَابِبَ سَعْدٍ, as the making the duplication of a letter distinct is allowable in poetry; or رَوَاحِلَ سَعْدٍ. (M, TA.) This is the primary signification of the verb. (TA.) ― -b2- And hence, (A, * Mgh, * TA,) [or, accord. to Fei, the reverse is the case, (see 3,)] (tropical:) They made themselves quits, or even, one with another, in a reckoning, (S, A, Mgh, K,) or other thing (S, A, K) one withholding from another the like of what the latter owed him. (Mgh.)

8 اقتصّ ذ It (hair [or the like]) was, or became, cut, or clipped, or shorn, (M, TA,) with the مِقَصّ; (TA;) as also ↓ تقصّص and تَقَصَّى. (M, TA.) -A2- اقتصّ أَثَرَهُ: see قَصَّ اثره. ― -b2- اقتصّ الحَدِيثَ: see قَصَّ عَلَيْهِ الخَبَرَ. -A3- He retaliated, slaying for slaying, or wounding for wounding. (M.) You say, اقتصّ لِفُلَانٍ مِنْ فُلَانٍ (S, A, K) He retaliated for such a one upon such a one, by wounding the latter like as he had wounded the former, or by slaying the latter for the slaughter of the former, (S, K, TA,) and the like; (TA;) as also مِنْهُ ↓ أَقَصَّهُ. (S, K.) [See the latter verb, first signification.] And ↓ أَفَصَّهُ, inf. n. اـِقْصَاصٌ, signifies [also] He (the Sultán) slew him in retaliation. (Msb.) ― -b2- اِقْتِصَاصٌ, as a subst., [i. e., having no verb corresponding to the signification here following, though I do not see how this can be asserted, for one may certainly say اُقْتُصَّ مِنْهُ,] also signifies The being done to like as one has done, whether it be slaughter or mutilation or beating or wounding. (TA.) ― -b3- See also 10.

10 استقصّ ذ He sought, or demanded, retaliation, i. e., slaying for slaying, or wounding for wounding. (M.) ― -b2- استقصّهُ He asked of him to retaliate for him: (S, A, Msb, K:) and ↓ اقتصّهُ signifies the same accord. to the K; but the author has been misled into saying this by misunderstanding the following passage in the O; تقصّص اثره مثل قَصَّهُ واقتصّهُ واستقصّهُ سَأَلَهُ أَنْ يُقِصَّهُ, in which واقتصّه terminates a clause. (TA.)

قَصٌّ ذ (M, K) and ↓ قَصَصٌ (M, TA) What is cut, or clipped, or shorn, of the wool of a sheep. (M, K, TA.) See also قُصَاصَةٌ. -A2- Also, both words, (S, M, A, K,) and ↓ قَصْقَصٌ (M, TA) The breast (M, A, K) of anything: (M:) or the head thereof, (S, K,) called in Persian سر سينه [i. e. سَرْسِينَهْ, applied to the pit at the head of the breast ]; and such is the قَصَص of the sheep or goat, &c.: (S:) or the middle thereof: (M, K:) or the bone thereof, (M, K,) of a man or other animal; (TA;) [i. e. the sternum; ] the soft bone into which are set the cartilaginous ends of the [ seven upper pairs of the ] ribs, in the middle of the breast: (Lth, TA:) pl. قِصَاصٌ [a reg. pl. of the first]. (K.) Hence the saying, هُوَ أَلْزَمُ لَكَ مِنْ شُعَيْرَاتِ قَصِّكَ, (S,) or هُوَ أَلْزَمُ بِكَ مِنْ شَعَرَاتِ قَصِّكَ, and ↓ قَصَصِكَ, (M, TA,) [ He is more closely adherent to thee than the little hairs, or the hairs, of thy breast, &c.:] because as often as they are cut they grow [afresh]: (As, TA:) meaning, he will not separate himself from thee, nor canst thou cast him from thee: applied to him who denies his relation: and also to him who denies a due that is incumbent on him. (Sgh, TA.) ― -b2- Also, the same three words, (the first and ↓ second accord. to the TA, and the ↓ third accord. to the K) and ↓ قَصِيصٌ, (K,) The place of growth of the hair of the breast. (K, TA.) -A3- قَصٌّ, (JK, and so in one place in a copy of the M, and in the TA,) or ↓ قِصٌّ, (so in one place in a copy of the M) and ↓ قَصَّةٌ and ↓ قِصَّةٌ, (M,) i. q. جَصٌّ, (JK,) or جِصٌّ, (M,) [i. e. Gypsum; ] قَصَّةٌ is syn. with جصّ (S, Msb) in the dial. of El-Hijáz: (S:) or ↓ قَصَّةٌ and ↓ قِصَّةٌ, (K,) the latter on the authority of IDrd, (TA,) and said by Aboo-Bekr to be with kesr, but by others said to be with fet-h, (Seer, TA,) are syn. with جَصَّةٌ [and جِصَّةٌ, ns. un. of جَصٌّ and جِصٌّ]: (K:) or signify stones of جصّ [or gypsum ]: (TA:) pl. قِصَاصٌ [reg. as pl. of قَصَّةٌ]: (K:) and ↓ قَصَّاصٌ is a dial. form of قَصٌّ [app. as syn. with جَصٌّ and جِصٌّ], a subst., like جَيَّارٌ [which is nearly, if not exactly, syn. with جِيرٌ and جَِصٌّ]. (M, L.) In a trad. of Zeyneb, occurs this expression: عَلَى مَلْحُودَةٍ ↓ يَاقَصَّةً [ O gypsum upon buried corpses! ] by which she likens the bodies of the persons addressed to tombs made of جصّ, and their souls to the corpses contained in the tombs. (TA.)
