(S, K.)

خَشْخَشَةٌ ذ The [ clashing, clattering, chinking, jingling, rattling, or rustling, ] sound of arms, or weapons, (S, A, * K,) and the like; (S;) as also شَخْشَخَةٌ, but this latter is a dial. var. of weak authority: (TA:) and of any dry or hard thing rubbing against another such thing: (K:) accord. to IDrd, such [sound or thing (for his words are ambiguous)] is termed ↓ خَشْخَاشٌ: (TA:) and the [ rustling ] sound of a new garment or piece of cloth, when it is put in motion; as also نَشْنَشَةٌ: (IAar:) and [ a confused sound ] such as is heard to proceed from the inside of an animal on its being hit by an arrow: (JK in art. خشف:) and a motion having a sound like the sound of arms, or weapons; (TA;) or an audible motion. (Mgh in art. خشف.)

خَشْخَاشٌ ذ A company: (ISd, TA:) or a numerous company of men: (Az, TA:) or a company (S, K) in, (K,) or having upon them, (S,) arms, or weapons, and coats of mail.

(TA.) [See also أَفْيُونٌ.]

خِشْخَاشٌ ذ : see خِشَاشٌ.

مَخْشُوشٌ ذ A camel having a خِشَاش put in his nose; as also ↓ خَشٌ. (Ibn-'Abbád, K.)

1 خَشَبَ ذ , (S, K,) aor. خَشِبَ , (K,) inf. n. خَشْبٌ, (TA,) He mixed a thing (S, K) with (بِ) another thing.

(K, TA.) -A2- Also, (S, K,) aor. and inf. n. as above, (S,) He polished a sword, (S, K,) by laying on it a broad and smooth spearhead and rubbing it therewith: so accord. to ElAhmar, who relates that an Arab of the desert said to him, I said to a sword-polisher, “ Hast thou finished my sword? ” and he answered, نَعَمْ اـِلَّا أَنِّى لَمْ أَخْشِبْهُ [ Yes, except that I have not polished it ]. (S.) And [or, as in the TA, “ or ”] He sharpened it. (K, TA.) ― -b2- And He forged a sword: (K:) or fashioned it with the file, without polishing it: (TA:) or he made it imperfectly, not thoroughly, or not well: (A:) thus, again, the verb has two contr. significations: (K:) also he thus made an arrow: (A:) or he shaped out a bow, (AHn, K,) and an arrow, (TA,) [ in a rough manner, or] by the first operation, (AHn, K, TA,) without perfecting it, or making it smooth, or even. (TA.) You say of a sword, before it has been filed, مَا أَحْسَنَ مَا خُشِبَ [ How well has it been forged! ]: and in like manner one says of an arrow, when it has been filed, before the سَفَن [with which it is smoothed] has been applied to it. (Skr, on a verse of Sakhr, cited below, voce خَشِيبَةٌ.) ― -b3- [Hence,] خَشَبَ الشِّعْرَ, (ISk, S, A, K,) aor. and inf. n. as above, (A,) (tropical:) He said, spoke, or uttered, the poetry (ISk, S, A, K) as it came, (ISk, S,) [ unpolished, and unstudied, ] without affecting nicety, or refinement, therein, (ISk, S, A, K,) and without study, or labour: (A, K:) Jereer did thus, and Farezdak trimmed his verses; but the verses of Jereer thus produced are better than the trimmed verses of Farezdak: (A, TA:) and ↓ اختشبهُ signifies the same. (A, K.) You say also, هُمْ يَخْشِبُونَ الكَلَامَ وَالعَمَلَ (tropical:) [ They say, speak, or utter, words, and do work, without affecting nicety, or refinement, and without study, or labour ]: (A:) or imperfectly, or not thoroughly; inelegantly, or not well.

12 اخشوشب ذ He [a man or a camel (see خَشِبٌ)] was, or became, tall, and gross, rude, or coarse, with bones uncovered by flesh, and hard, or hardy. (K.) He (an ostrich) was, or became, rough, or coarse. (S.) ― -b2- (assumed tropical:) He (a man) became hard, or hardy, and rough, or coarse, in his religion, clothing, food, and in all respects. (TA.) (assumed tropical:) He employed himself in work, and in walking barefoot, in order that his body might become thick, gross, or coarse. (S, TA.) And اخشوشب فِى عَيْشِهِ (assumed tropical:) He endured with patience a life of hardship, or difficulty: or he subjected himself to a life of hardship, or difficulty, in order to render himself the more able to bear it. (K, TA.) اِخْشَوْشِبُوا is thus used in a trad. of 'Omar: (S, TA:) or, as some relate it, the word is [اجشوشبوا,] with ج; or, accord. to some, اخشوشنوا, with خ and ن. (TA.)

رَجُلٌ قِشْبٌ خِشْبٌ ذ A man in whom is no good: (S, K:) or with whom is no good: (TA:) [in some copies of the K, خِشْبٌ وَ قِشْبٌ; but this, as is said in the TA, is incorrect:] خِشْبٌ being an imitative sequent to قِشْبٌ. (S, TA.)

خَشَبٌ ذ [ Wood, such as is used in carpentry and the like; timber; ] thick wood: (A, K:) [a coll. gen. n.:] n. un. خَشَبَةٌ [signifying a piece of wood or timber ]: (Msb:) the pl. of the latter, (S, Msb, *) or of the former, (K,) is خَشَبٌ, (S, K, [i. e., accord. to the K, the pl. is the same as the sing., but properly speaking, as said above, this is a coll. gen. n.,]) and خُشُبٌ and خُشْبٌ (S, Msb, K) and خُشْبَانٌ, (S, K,) [which last is agreeable with analogy as pl. of خَشَبٌ,] or خُشْبَانٌ is pl. of خُشْبٌ, and خُشْبٌ is pl. of خَشَبَةٌ. (JK.) The hypocrites are described in a trad. as خُشُبٌ بِاللَّيْلِ صُخُبٌ بِالنَّهَارِ Like timbers, or pieces of wood, in the night; [ clamorous in the day; ] meaning that they pass the night in sleep, without prayer. (TA.) ― -b2- مَالٌ خَشَبٌ (assumed tropical:) Cattle that are lean, or emaciated, syn. هَزْلَى, (K,) in consequence of their feeding upon dry herbage. (TA.) [And it seems that ↓ خَشَبٌ signifies the same: for I find in the TA, and in a copy of the A which I believe to have been used by the author of the TA, mentioned as tropical, مَالٌ خَشَبٌ وَحَطِبٌ جَزْلٌ, app. meaning that مَالٌ خَشِبٌ and حَطِبٌ signify جَزْلٌ; but جَزْلٌ, I think, is here evidently a mistranscription for هَزْلَى; as حَطِبٌ is explained in the S and K as signifying “ very lean or meagre. ”]

خَشِبٌ ذ Rough, or coarse; as also ↓ أَخْشَبُخَشِيبٌ: (K:) the former applied in this sense to a male ostrich: (S:) and both signify anything gross, or big, and rough, or coarse; (A 'Obeyd, S;) as also ↓ خَشِيبٌ: (TA:) and the first, (K,) applied to a man and to a camel, (TA,) tall, and gross, rude, or coarse, with bones uncovered by flesh, and hard, or hardy, and strong; (K, * TA;) as also ↓ خَشِيبٌ and ↓ خَشِيبِىٌّ: (K:) or these three signify, or signify also, dry, or rigid, or tough: (Kr, ISd:) and خَشِبٌ, a man hard, or hardy, strong, and vigorous, in body: (A, TA:) and the same, (JK,) or ↓ خَشِيبٌ, (TA,) a man whose bones are uncovered by flesh, and whose sinews are apparent; (JK, TA;) hard, or hardy, and strong: (JK:) and the last, a gross, big, or coarse, camel: (S, TA:) a camel gross, coarse, or rude, in make, and ugly: (TA:) and a horse thick, or big, in the bones. (Ham p. 207.) See also خَشَبٌ. And see أَخْشَبُ, in two places. ― -b2- Also (assumed tropical:) Life in which one is not dainty, nice, or scrupulous. (K.)

خَشْبَةٌ ذ The first filing of a sword, before the polishing. (TA.)

خَشَابٌ ذ : see أَخْشَبُ.

خُشَابٌ ذ , from the Persian خُوشْ اآبْ, [The beverage properly called in Arabic ] نَبِيذ. (TA.)

خَشِيبٌ ذ and ↓ مَخْشُوبٌ Mixed. (TA.) ― -b2- And the former, (K,) or both, (TA,) Picked out, chosen, or selected: (K, TA:) both words thus having two contr. significations. (TA.) -A2- Also the former (S, K) and latter, (K,) A sword polished: (S, K: *) this is [said to be] the prevailing signification: (TA:) or both signify a sharpened sword. (JK, TA.) ― -b2- And the former, (As, S, K,) or both, (JK, A,) A sword of which the forging is commenced; thus [again] having two contr. significations: (S:) or forged, (K, * TA,) or fashioned with the file, but not yet polished: (As, TA:) or newly made: (TA:) or imperfectly, not thoroughly, or not well, wrought; (JK, A;) and thus both words applied to an arrow: (A:) or the former, (S, K,) or both, (TA,) applied to an arrow, (S, K,) and to a bow, (K,) shaped out (S, K) [ in a rough manner, ] by the first operation, (S, TA,) not yet perfected, or made smooth, or even: (TA:) pl. of the former (accord. to the TA as applied to a bow [but I see no reason for this restriction]) خُشُبٌ and خَشَائِبُ. (K.) لَمْ يُنَقَّحْ ↓ مَخْشُوبٌ [ Rough hewn, not yet trimmed, ] is a prov., mentioned by Meyd and Z. (MF, TA.) ― -b3- [Hence,] شِعْرٌ خَشِيبٌ and ↓ مَخْشُوبٌ (tropical:) Poetry said, spoken, or uttered, as it has come to the speaker, [ unpolished, and unstudied, ] without his affecting nicety, or refinement, therein, and without study, or labour.
