(TA.) ― -b3- رَكَعَ اـِلَى ا@للّٰهِ He lowered his head, or he humbled himself, to God; syn. اِطْمَأَنَّ. (Z, TA.) ― -b4- رَكَعَ, also signifies He prayed; (Mgh;) and so ↓ تركّع. (TA.)

(S, K, TA.)

2 ركّن ذ is said by Golius, as on the authority of the KL, to signify He made like, “ similem fecit: ” and hence Freytag also thus explains it: but it is زكّن that has this signification. In my copy of the KL, تَزْكِينٌ (not تَرْكِينٌ) is expl. by مانند كردن.]

4 اركنهُ ذ He made him to incline [اـِلَى غَيْرِهِ to another ]; syn. أَمَالَهُ: [and to trust to, or rely upon, another, so as to be, or become, easy, or quiet, in mind: or to lean, rest, or rely, upon another: see 1:] whence a reading in the Kur xi. 115. (Ksh, Bd. *) See 1.

(Ham p. 478.) ― -b2- [Hence, (assumed tropical:) A stay, or support, of any kind: see an ex. voce مِرْجَمٌ: whence, perhaps,] one says, تَمَسَّحْتُ بِأَرْكَانِهِ, meaning تَبَرَّكْتُ بِهِ (tropical:) [i. e. I looked for a blessing by means of him, or it ]. (TA.) (assumed tropical:) A thing whereby one is strengthened (مَا يُقَوَّى بِهِ [in the CK ما تَقَوَّىبه]), such as dominion (مُلْك [in the CK مَلِك]), and an army, or a military force, &c.: (K:) and thus it has been explained as occurring in the Kur [li. 39], where it is said, فَتَوَلَّى بِرُكْنِهِ, (TA,) i. e. (assumed tropical:) And he turned away from belief with his forces; because they were to him like the رُكْن [properly so termed]. (Jel.) (assumed tropical:) A man's kinsfolk; or nearer, or nearest, relations; or clan; or tribe; syn. عَشِيرَةٌ: (AHeyth, TA:) (assumed tropical:) a man's people, or party; and the higher among them; and the persons by whom he is aided and strengthened: thought by ISd to be thus called by way of comparison [to a رُكْن properly so termed]: and thus it has been explained as used in the Kur [xi. 82], where it is said, أَوْ اآوِىَ رُكْنٍ شَدِيدٍ (assumed tropical:) [ Or that I might have recourse to a strong people, or party, &c.]: (TA:) or it here means عَشِيرَة [explained above]. (Jel.) And (assumed tropical:) A noble, or high, person; as in the saying, هُوَ رُكْنٌ مِنْ أَرْكَانِ قَوْمِهِ (assumed tropical:) [ He is a noble, of the nobles of his people ]. (TA.) And أَرْكَانُ الاـِنْسَانِ means (assumed tropical:) The members, or limbs, of the man, with which things are gained or earned, or with which he works; as the hands or arms, and the feet or legs. (TA.) ― -b3- Also (assumed tropical:) Might, and resistance: (S, K:) so in the saying, هُوَ يَأْوِى اـِلَى رُكْنٍ شَدِيدٍ (assumed tropical:) [ He has recourse to strong, or vehement, might and resistance ]: (S:) and so it has been explained as used in the words of the Kur last cited above. (TA.) ― -b4- And (assumed tropical:) A thing, an affair, a case, an event, or an action, of great magnitude or moment, momentous, formidable, or terrible. (AHeyth, K.) Thus AHeyth explains it as used in the saying of En-Nábighah [Edh-Dhubyánee], لَا تَقْذِفَنِّى بِرُكْنٍ لَا كِفَاآءَ لَهُ [ By no means reproach thou me with a momentous, or a formidable, thing or action, or an enormity, that has not its equal; though (he proceeds to say) the enemies incite thee, with companies of men aiding one another]. (TA.) ― -b5- In the conventional language [of the schools], رُكْنُ الشَّىْءِ means (assumed tropical:) [ The essence of the thing; or] that whereby the thing subsists: from التَّقَوُّمُ; because the قِوَام [or subsistence] of the thing is by its رُكْن: not from القِيَام: else it would necessarily be the case that the agent would be a رُكْن to the action; and the substance, to the accident; and the thing to which a quality is attributed, to the quality: (KT:) it is (assumed tropical:) that without which the thing has no subsistence: (Kull:) and is [also] applied to (assumed tropical:) [ an essential, or essential part, of the thing; i. e.,] a part of the مَاهِيَّة [or essence ] of the thing, (Kull, [and in like manner أَرْكَانُ الشَّىْءِ is explained in the Msb as meaning the parts of the ماهيّة of the thing, ]) as when we say that القِيَام is a رُكْن of الصَّلَاْة; as well as to (assumed tropical:) the whole مَاهيّة [ of the thing ]: (Kull:) [thus] أَرْكَانُ العِبَادَاتِ means (assumed tropical:) the fundamentals [or essentials ] of the services of religion, by the neglect, or non-observance, of which they are ineffectual, or null, or void: (TA:) or, as some say, رُكْنُ الشَّىْءِ means that whereby the thing is complete; and this is intrinsic therein; differing from the شَرْط [or condition] thereof, which is extrinsic thereto. (KT.)

رَكِينٌ ذ A mountain having high أَرْكَان [i. e. sides, or angles ]: (S, K:) or having strong اركان: (TA:) or inaccessible, or difficult of access, having اركان. (Har p. 561.) ― -b2- And hence, (Har ibid.,) (tropical:) A man (S, K, &c.) firm, (Har,) still, or motionless, (TA,) grave, staid, steady, sedate, or calm. (S, K, Har, TA.)

رُكَيْنٌ ذ : see رَكْنٌ.

أَرْكُونٌ ذ A great دِهْقَان, (K, TA,) i. e. headman, or chief, of a village or town: [app. from the Greek ἄρχω ν ; though it is said that] he is thus called because the people of the village or town trust to him and incline to him. (TA.)

مِرْكَنٌ ذ A kind of vessel, well known, (K, TA,) like a تَوْر [q. v.], of leather, used for water: (TA:) or i. q. اـِجَّانَةٌ [q.v.], (S, Mgh, Msb, TA,) in which clothes and the like are washed; (TA;) called in Pers. تَغَارْ: (Mgh:) pl. مَرَاكِنُ and مَرَاكِينُ. (TA.) One says, زَرَعُوا الرَّيَا حِينَ فِى المَرَاكِينِ [ They sowed the sweet-smelling plants in the مراكين]. (TA.)

مُرَكَّنٌ ذ A thing having أَرْكَان [here meaning corners, or angles ]. (TA.) ― -b2- [Hence,] ضَرْعٌ مُرَكَّنٌ A great udder; as though having اركان: (S, TA:) and an udder that has opened [or expanded ] in its place so as to fill the أَرْفَاغ [or groins ], and is not very long. (TA.) Tarafeh says, وَضَرَّتُهَا مُرَكَّنَةٌ دَرُورُ [ And her udder is great, having much milk: or,] accord. to AA, مركّنة [here] signifies مجمّعة [app. meaning collecting much ]. (TA.) And you say also نَاقَةٌ مُرَكَّنَةُ الضَّرْعِ (S, TA) [ A she-camel great in the udder; or] whose udder has أَرْكَان by reason of its greatness. (TA.)

1 رَكَا ذ (ISd, K,) [aor. يَرْكُو,] inf. n. رَكْوٌ, (ISd, TA,) He dug, or excavated, (ISd, K, TA,) the ground, forming an oblong hollow.

رَكْوَةٌ ذ (S, Mgh, Msb, K, &c.) and رِكْوَةٌ and رُكْوَةٌ, (K,) all well known, but the first is the most chaste, (MF,) A certain thing for water: (S:) it is [ a small drinking-vessel ] like a تَوْر, of leather; (ISd, TA;) a small drinking-vessel of skin: (Nh, TA:) or a small دَلْو [or bucket, generally of leather ], (Mgh, Msb,) well known: (Msb:) all of these explanations have been strangely neglected by the author of the K: (TA:) pl. رِكَاآءٌ (S, Mgh, Msb) and رَكَوَاتٌ; (S,) Msb;) the latter allowable. (Msb.) The prov. (S) صَارَتِ القَوْسُ رَكْوَةً [lit. The bow became a ركوة, app. meaning the bow became exchanged for a vessel such as is called ركوة, but see what follows,] is applied in relation to the retiring of good fortune, and reverse in the state of affairs. (S, K.) ― -b2- A small زَوْرَق [or skiff ].

[Hence, accord. to the TK, the prov. above mentioned: but I see not why.] ― -b4- (assumed tropical:) The فَلْهَم of a woman; i. e. her فَرْج [or vulva ]: so in the copies of the K: but in the T, her قُلْفَة [i. e. the prepuce of the clitoris ], on the authority of IAar; as being likened to the ركوة of water: (TA:) the pl. [app. in all its senses] is رِكَاآءٌ and رَكَوَاتٌ [as above], (K,) or in the last sense رُكًى. (TA.)

رَكِىٌّ ذ : see what next follows, in two places.

رَكِيَّةٌ ذ A well: (S, Msb, K:) or a well containing water; (MA;) otherwise a well is not thus called: (Durrat el-Ghowwás, in De Sacy's Chrest. Ar. ii. 332:) or a well not made neat; or not constructed [or cased ] with bricks [&c.]: (MA:) pl. رَكَايَا (S, Msb, K) and ↓ رَكِىٌّ, (S, and so in some copies of the K,) or the former is the pl. and ↓ the latter is [properly speaking] a gen. n., [i. e. a coll. gen. n.,] and often occurs as a sing. and as a pl., (Nh, TA,) or the pl. is also رُكِىٌّ: (so in some copies of the K and in the TA:) accord. to ISd, it is from رَكَا in the first of the senses assigned to this verb above. (TA.)

مَرْكُوٌّ ذ [pass. part. n. of 1: ― -b2- and hence, as a subst.,] A large watering-trough or tank: (AA, T, S, K:) [in the S and K is added, وَالجُرْمُوزُ الصَّغِيرُ, which may mean either that the small watering- trough is called جرموز, and such is the case, or that مَرْكُوٌّ also signifies a small جرموز, agreeably with what here follows, and with an explanation of this word in the TA voce حَوِىٌّ:] Az, after mentioning AA's explanation given above, says, but what I have heard from the Arabs is, that the مركوّ is a small watering-trough or tank, which a man makes, or forms, or fashions, in a suitable manner, with his hands, at the head of the well, when he has not, and cannot procure, a vessel in which to give water to a camel or to two camels: and that which is large is not thus called. (TA.) [But see an ex. voce سَلْسٌ.]

(TA.) The saying, كُنَّا أَهْلَ ثَمِّهِ وَرَمِّهِ, (T, S,) occurring in a trad., (S,) accord. to the relaters thereof ↓ ثُمِّهِ وَرُمِّهِ, but A'Obeyd holds the former reading to be the right, (T, S,) means, accord. to AA, We were the fit persons to put it into a good, sound, right, or proper, state: (T:) or, accord. to A'Obeyd, to put it into such a state, and to eat it.

And it is said in a trad., عَلَيْكُمْ بِأَلْبَانِ البَقَرِ فَاـِنَّهَا تَرُمُّ مِنْ كُلِّ الشَّجَرِ [ Keep ye to the milk of cows, for they eat of all the tress ]; (T, S, * TA;) i. e. تَأْكُلُ: or, accord. to one reading, it is ↓ تَرْتَمُّ. (TA.) رَمَّتِ الشَّاةُ الحَشِيشَ aor. تَرُمُّ, inf. n. رَمٌّ, means The sheep, or goat, took the dry herbage, or fodder, with its lips. (M.) And رَمَّتِ الشَّاةُ مِنَ الأَرْضِ, and ↓ ارتمّت, The sheep, or goat, ate from the land. (S.) And رَمَّتِ البَهْمَةُ, (M,) or البَهِيمَةُ, (K,) inf. n. as above; (TA;) and ↓ ارتمّت; i. e.

And العَظْمَ ↓ ترمّم He ate off the flesh from the bone; syn. تَعَرَّقَهُ: or he left the bone like the رِمَّة [q. v.]: in [some of] the copies of the K, تَرَمَّمَ is erroneously explained by تَعَزَّقَ; [in my MS. copy, by تَعَرَّفَ; and in the CK, by تَفَرَّقَ;] the right reading being تَعَرَّقَ, as in the A. (TA.) And it is said in a trad., respecting the she-cat, وَلَا مِنْ خَشَاشِ الأَرْضِ ↓ أَرْسَلْتُهَا تُرَمْرِمُ, meaning [ And I did not send her ] for her to eat [ of the creeping things of the earth ].

In the saying, mentioned in a trad., يَا ↓ رَسُولَ ا@للّٰهِ كَيْفَ تُعْرْضُ صَلَاتُنَا عَلَيْكَ وَقَدْ أَرَمْتَ, meaning بَلِيتَ [i. e. O Apostle of God, how shall our blessing be offered, or addressed, to thee when thou shalt have become decayed in the grave?], the last word is originally أَرْمَمْتَ; one of the two م s being rejected; like as is done in أَحَسْتَ, for أَحْسَسْتَ: (IAth, K, * TA: [in the CK, تَعْرَضُ is put in the place of تُعْرَضُ:]) accord. to one relation, it is أَرَمَّتَ; accord. to another, رَمَمْتَ; and accord. to another, أُرِمْتَ: but the first is the proper manner of relation. (TA.) And رَمَّ الحَبْلُ The rope became [ old and worn out or rotten, (see رُمَّةٌ,) or] ragged, or dissundered. (M.)
