(Bd.) For instance, you say, خَسِرَ عَقْلَهُ, and مَالَهُ, He lost his intellect, and his property. (IAar.) [In a phrase of this kind, the noun which immediately follows the verb may be considered as put in the accus. case on account of the rejection of a prep., namely فِى: for] it is said that خَسِرَ is never used otherwise than intransitively: though this has been contradicted, on the ground of the following phrase in the Kur [xxii. 11], خَسِرَ ا@لدُّنْيَا وَ ا@لْاآخِرَةَ [ He hath lost, or he loseth, the things of the present life and of the latter life ]; and the like; as ا@لَّذِينَ خَسِرُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ وَ أَهْلِيهِمْ [ Who shall have lost themselves, or their own souls, and their families, or their wives; Kur xxxix. 17 and xlii. 44]; (MF, TA;) i. e., themselves, or their own souls, by their having erred, and their families by their having caused them to err, or by being separated from them for ever; (Bd;) or by being themselves made to remain for ever in Hell, and by their not gaining access to the حُور prepared in Paradise [as wives] for the believers: (Jel:) or the meaning is, accord. to Fr, who shall be deceived of their own souls, &c.: or, accord. to others, who shall have destroyed their own souls, &c. (TA.) ― -b2- Also [ He experienced, or saw, that he was loser; or] his having lost became manifest to him: so in the Kur xl. [78 and] last verse. (TA.) ― -b3- Also (with all the forms of the inf. n. above mentioned, K,) He erred; went astray; deviated from, or lost, or missed, the right way: or he became lost; he perished; or he died: syn. ضَلَّ, (K,) and هَلَكَ.

(Msb.) ↓ The second of these forms is more common, in this sense, than the first (Zj, TA) [and than the third]. For ا@لْمِيزَانَ ↓ وَ لَا تُخْسِرُوا, in the Kur lv. 8, there are three other readings; namely تَخْسُرُوا and تَخْسُروا and تَخْسَرُوا; in the last of which, the prep. فِى is omitted after the verb. (Bd.) ― -b2- [And He, or it, made him to lose, or suffer loss; to err, or go astray; to become lost, or to perish. ]

Ibn-Mes'ood, TA,) بنا ↓ لَا@نْخُسِفَ, (S, K,) in the pass. form; (K;) [meaning the same;] like as one says, اُنْطُلِقَ بنا. (S.) You say also, خَسَفَتْ عَيْنُ المَاآءِ The spring of water sank, or went away, into the earth. (Msb, K. *) And العَيْنُ ↓ انخسفت The eye sank, or became depressed, in the head; syn. غَارَتْ; (Msb in art. غور;) [and so خَسَفَت, inf. n. خُسُوفٌ; for] خُسُوفُ العَيْنِ signifies The eye's going away into the head: (S:) or ↓ انخسفت signifies its black, or part surrounded by the white, disappeared in the head: (Mgh:) or this last, (K,) as quasi-pass. of the trans. v. خَسَفَ, (TA,) (tropical:) it (the eye) became blind; as also ↓ أَخْسَفَت; (K, TA;) and [in like manner] خَسَفَت (assumed tropical:) it (the eye) lost its light [or sight ].

Accord. to the KL, the inf. n. خَسْفٌ signifies The being vile, abject, or contemptible: and also the being lean, or emaciated: and hence Golius, on that authority, has rendered the verb as meaning vilis et macer fuit. ]) ― -b5- Also (assumed tropical:) It (the colour, or complexion, of a person) became altered, or altered for the worse.
