3 خاصمهُ خاصم خاصمه خاصمة , inf. n. مُخَاصَمَةٌ (S, Msb, K) and خِصَامٌ (S, Msb) and [quasi-inf. n.] خُصُومَةٌ, (K,) the last said in the S to be a simple subst., (TA,) He contended with him in an altercation, disputed with him, or litigated with him; (K, TA;) i. q. نَازَعَهُ: (Mgh and Msb and K in art. نزع:) accord. to El-Harállee, الخِصَامُ signifies the saying which the listener is made to hear, and which is made to enter his ear-hole, such as may cause him to refrain, or desist, from his assertion, and his plea, or claim. (TA.) You say, خَاصَمْتُهُ ↓ فَخَصَمْتُهُ, (S, Mgh, Msb, K, *) aor. of the latter أَخْصِمُهُ, with kesr, (S, K, *) or أَخْصُمُهُ, with damm, (Mgh, Msb,) or not with damm, (S,) or both these forms of the aor. are used, accord. to AHei; the latter agreeable with analogy; (MF;) the former anomalous; for the regular aor. of an unaugmented sound verb in a case of this kind is with damm, (S, K,) as in the instance of عَالَمْتُهُ فَعَلَمْتُهُ, aor. أَعْلُمُهُ; (S;) if it has not a faucial letter (S, K) for its medial radical, (K,) in which case it is with fet-h, as in the instance of فَاخَرْتُهُ فَفَخَرْتُهُ, aor. أَفْخَرُهُ, (S, K,) accord. to the opinion of Ks, but this is contr. to the opinion generally held: (MF:) the inf. n. of خَصَمْتُهُ is خَصْمٌ: (S, * TA:) and the meaning is, [ I contended with him in an altercation, or I disputed, or litigated, with him, and ] I overcame him in the altercation, &c. (Mgh, Msb.) -A2- خاصمهُ also signifies He put it in, or by, the خُصْم, i. e. edge, or side, of the bed. (TA.)

8 اختصموا اختصموا ٱختصم ٱختصموا They contended in altercation, disputed, or litigated, one with another; (Msb, TA;) i. q. ↓ تخاصموا; (S, K, TA;) both signifying as above. (TA.) He who reads يَخَصِّمُونَ [in the Kur xxxvi. 49] means يَخْتَصِمُونَ; changing the ت into ص, and incorporating [it into the other ص], and transferring its vowel to the خ: some read يَخِصِّمُونَ, without transferring that vowel; (S, K;) because a quiescent letter, when it is made movent, is [regularly] made so with kesr: (S:) AA slurred the vowel of the خ: the pronunciation [يَخْصِّمُونَ] with two quiescent letters together is incorrect: (S, K:) Hamzeh read ↓ يَخْصِمُونَ, (S,) i. e., with the خ quiescent and with kesr to the ص. (TA.) ― -b2- اِخْتَصَمَا اـِلَيْهِ They two applied to him for the decision of a cause, each of them claiming the right. (TA in art. قمط.) And اـِلَيْهِ ↓ تُخُوصِمَ [ An application was made to him by litigants for the decision of a cause ]. (Mgh in art. دلو.) -A2- السَّيْفُ يَخْتَصِمُ جَفْنَهُ, said by J to signify The sword cuts (lit. eats ) its scabbard, by reason of its sharpness, is a mistake; the verb being correctly with ض, (K, * TA,) dotted. (TA.)

خَصْمٌ خصم An adversary in contention or altercation, in dispute, or in litigation; an antagonist; a litigant: (JK, K, TA:) as also ↓ خَصِيمٌ: (JK, S, K, TA:) the former is used alike as masc. and fem. (S, Msb, K) and sing. (JK, S, Msb, K) and dual (Msb, K) and pl.; (JK, S, Msb, K;) because it is originally an inf. n.: (S, TA:) [see an ex. of its use in a pl. sense in a verse cited voce جَنَفٌ:] but it also has the dual form, خَصْمَانِ; (S, Msb;) and the pl. خُصُومٌ (JK, S, Msb, K) and خِصَامٌ (Msb) and perhaps أَخْصَامٌ, [which is a pl. of pauc.,] or this may be pl. of خَصِمٌ: (TA:) the pl. of ↓ خَصِيمٌ is خُصَمَاآءُ (JK, S, K) and خُصْمَانٌ.

[of pauc.] أَخْصَامٌ and [of mult.] خُصُومٌ: (K:) but some say that the أَخْصَام of the [water-bag termed] مَزَادَة, and its خُصُوم, are its corners: the خُصُوم of a cloud are its sides: (TA:) and أَخْصَامُ العَيْنِ signifies the part, or parts, of the eye upon which the edges of the lids close together. (S, K.) ― -b2- [Also A gap, or an intervening space: it is said in the TA that] الأَخْصَامُ [pl. of الخُصْمُ] signifies الفرج [i. e. الفُرَجُ, pl. of الفُرْجَةُ: and it is added,] one says, of an unsound, a corrupt, or a disordered, affair, لَا يُسَّدُ مِنْهُ خُصْمٌ اـِلَّا ا@نْفَتَحَ خُصْمٌ اآخَرُ (tropical:) [ A gap of it will not be stopped up but another gap will open ]; occurring in a trad., meaning, the state of affairs is disordered and distressing, and not to be rectified and repaired.

(JK, K.) ― -b4- And The lower parts, or stocks, syn. أُصُولٌ, (JK, K,) of [trees of the kind called] سَرَحَات [pl. of سَرْحَةٌ]; used in this sense by Et- Tirimmáh. (JK.)

(TA.)

خَصْمَةٌ خصم خصمه خصمة A certain bead, or gem, or the like, used by men [ as an amulet ], in the K, مِنْ حُرُوزِ الرِّجَالِ, but correctly, as in the M, مِنْ خَزَرِ الرِّجَالِ, (TA,) worn on the occasion of contending in an altercation, or disputing, or litigating, or on going into the presence of the Sultán; (K, TA;) and sometimes it is beneath the gem of the man's signetring, when it is small; and it may be in his button; and sometimes they put it in the ذُؤَابَة [or cord by which the hilt is occasionally attached to the guard ] of the sword: (TA:) also called خَضْمَةٌ. (K and TA in art. خضم.)

أُخْصُومٌ ذ The loop of the [ sack called ] جُوَالِق, (JK, TA,) and of the [ load called ] عِدْل; (TA;) i. q. أُخْسُومٌ; (K;) but the latter is a dial. var. of weak authority, and disapproved. (TA in art. خسم.)

خُصْوَةٌ خص خصى خصوه خصوة a dial. var. of خُصْيَةٌ, q. v. (Sh, TA.)

1 خَصَاهُ خص خصاه خصاة خصى خصية , (S, Mgh, Msb, K,) aor. يَخْصِيهِ, (JK, Mgh, Msb,) inf. n. خِصَاآءٌ (JK, S, Mgh, Msb, K) and خَصَاآءٌ, mentioned, by MF, from Expositions of the Fs, (TA,) and خَصْىٌ, agreeably with analogy, occurs in a trad. of Esh-Shaabee, though we have not heard it, (Mgh,) He drew forth, or extracted, his testicles; (S, Mgh, Msb, K;) [ he gelded, or castrated, him; ] namely, a stallion, (S,) a sheep or goat, or a horse or similar beast, (Lth, JK, TA,) and a man or boy, (TA,) or a slave. (Msb.) One says, بَرِئْتُ اـِلَيْكَ مِنَ الخِصَاآءِ [ I am irresponsible to thee for castration ]. (S.) ― -b2- [Hence,] كَانَ جَوَادًا فَخُصِىَ [lit. He was a fleet and excellent horse, and he was gelded ]; meaning (tropical:) he was rich, and he became poor. (TA.) ― -b3- The poets term satire, and the act of overcoming, خِصَاآء: one of them says, خَصَيْتُكَ يَا ا@بْنَ حَمْزَةَ بِالقَوَافِى كَمَا يُخْصَى مِنَ الحَلَقِ الحِمَارُ [(tropical:) I have emasculated thee, O son of Hamzeh, with rhymes, like as the he-ass is emasculated in consequence of the disease termed حَلَق; for which, it is asserted, (as is said in the TA, art. حلق,) there is no remedy but gelding].

(Sgh, K, TA.) ― -b2- The use of اـِخْصَاآءٌ [its inf. n.] in the sense of خِصَاآءٌ inf. n. of خَصَى is a mistake. (Mgh.)

8 اختصى اختصى اختصي He castrated himself; or made himself a eunuch. (KL.)

خُصْىٌ خص خصى خصي خصية خصيي ; and the dual خُصْيَانِ: see خُصْيَةٌ, in five places.

خِصْىٌ خص خصى خصي خصية خصيي : see what next follows.

خُصْيَةٌ خص خصي خصيه خصية A testicle; (El-Umawee, S;) sing. of خُصًى; (S, Mgh, Msb, K;) it is [ one ] of the organs of generation; (K;) well known; (Msb;) and ↓ خِصْيَةٌ signifies the same, (S, K,) and so does ↓ خُصْىٌ, (Msb, K,) and ↓ خِصْىٌ; (K;) and خُصْوَةٌ is a dial. var., occurring in a trad., but is extr.: (Sh, TA:) accord. to some, (Msb,) the sing. is خُصْيَةٌ [alone], (T, Msb,) of the fem. gender; (T, TA;) and the dual is ↓ خُصْيَانِ, (ElUmawee, T, S, Mgh, Msb, K,) of the masc. gender, (T, TA,) without ت, (El-Umawee, S, Mgh, Msb,) irreg., (El-Umawee, S, Msb,) like أَلْيَانِ dual of أَلْيَةٌ, (El-Umawee, S,) and خُصْيَتَانِ also, (T, Mgh, K,) this latter being sometimes used, (T, Mgh,) though rarely, (MF on the authority of the Expositions of the Fs,) both mentioned by ISh: (T, TA:) AO says, I have heard خُصْيَة, with damm, but I have not heard ↓ خِصْيَة, with kesr; and I have heard ↓ خُصْيَاهُ [as the dual], though they did not use ↓ خُصْىٌ as the sing.; (S;) IB, however, cites exs. of this last as a sing.: (TA:) AA says that الخُصْيَتَانِ signifies the two testicles; and ↓ اَخُصْيَانِ, the two skins [ which compose the scrotum, i. e.,] in which are the two testicles; citing an ex. in which the latter dual is used in this sense; (S;) and ISk says the like; whereas IKoot makes الخُصْيَةُ to signify [ the scrotum, i. e.] the skin containing the testicle. (Msb.) ― -b2- Also (tropical:) An earring (قُرْطٌ) in the ear: (JK, Sgh, K:) thus called by way of comparison: (TA:) pl. خُصًى. (JK.)

خِصْيَةٌ خص خصي خصيه خصية : see the next preceding paragraph, in two places.

خَصِىٌّ خص خصى خصي خصية خصيي Whose testicles have been drawn forth, or extracted; (S, Mgh, Msb, K;) [ gelded, or castrated; a eunuch; ] applied to a sheep or goat, and a horse or similar beast, (TA,) and a man (S, TA) or boy, (TA,) or a slave; (Msb;) as also ↓ مَخْصِىٌّ: (K:) pl. خِصْيَانٌ (S, Mgh, K) and خِصْيَةٌ: (S, K:) in giving it the former pl., they liken it to a subst., like ظَلِيمٌ, of which the pl. is ظِلْمَانٌ: so says Sb; meaning that فِعْلَانٌ is generally the pl. of فَعِيلٌ as a subst. (TA.) One says also خَصِىٌّ نَصِىٌّ; using the latter word as an imitative sequent. (Lh, TA.) ― -b2- Also (tropical:) Poetry in which is no amatory effusion. (K, TA.)

خَاصٍ خاص [act. part. n. of 1]. They say, جَاآءَ كَخَاصِى العَيْرِ [lit. He came like the gelder of the ass ], meaning he came ashamed: (JK, and TA in art. جوج:) and also, disappointed, or unsuccessful. (TA in that art.)

مَخْصًى مخصى مخصي The place of cutting [or gelding or castration ]. (S.)

R. Q. 1 خَضْخَضَةٌ خضخض خضخضه خضخضة , (S, O,) inf. n. خَضْخَضَةٌ, (S, O, K,) He agitated it; moved it about; stirred it; shook it; namely, water, (S, O, K,) and the like, (S, O,) and سَوِيق, and the like. (O, K.) You say also, خَضْخَضْتُ دَلْوِى فِى المَاآءِ [ I agitated, or dashed about, my bucket in the water ]. (O, TA.) Sakhr-el-Gheí El-Hudhalee says, describing a water to which he had come for drink, فَخَضْخَضْتُ ضُفْنِىَ فِى جَمِّهِ خِيَاضَ المُدَابِرِ قِدْحًا عَطُوفَا (O, TA,) i. e. [ And I dashed about my leathern bucket in the main body thereof, ] as he who is overcome in the game of el-meysir introduces among the other arrows a borrowed arrow [ that comes forth winning ], in the luck of which he has confidence. (TA in art. خوض.) This verb, though mentioned here, is [said to be] from خَاضَ, aor. يَخُوضُ; not from خَضَّ; therefore the poet here uses خَيِاض for its inf. n. (O, TA.) You also say, جَاآءَهُ بِالخَنْجَرِ فَخَضْخَضَ بِهِ بَطْنَهُ [ He came to him with the dagger, and stirred about with it his belly ]. (TA.) ― -b2- [Hence a meaning of the inf. n. explained in the first paragraph of art. جلد.]
