(K.) One says, تَخَطَّيْتُ رِقَابَ النَّاسِ [ I stepped over, walked over, passed over and beyond, or went over and passed beyond, the necks of the people ]. (S, TA.) It is said in a trad. respecting Friday, [of one who came too late to the Friday-prayers, as is shown in the TA in art. انى,] رَأَى رَجُلًا يَتَخَطَّى رِقَابَ النَّاسِ He saw a man passing step by step [ over the necks of the people who were already in their ranks in the mosque]. (TA. [See also Har p. 83.]) One says also, فُلَانٌ لَا يَتَخَطَّى عَنِ الطُّنُبِ [ Such a one will not step over, or beyond, or from, the tent-rope ], meaning, will not go far from the tent for the purpose of voiding his excrement, by reason of his foulness and vileness and uncleanness. (TA.) And تَخَطَّيْتُ كَذَا (S, TA) I passed over [ to such a thing or place or person ]: (TA:) one should not say تَخَطَّأْتُ [in this sense], with ء. (S, TA.) [Hence the following tropical phrases.] تخطّاهُ المَكْرُوهُ (tropical:) [ What was disliked or hated, or evil, passed over him; not alighting upon him]. (TA.) And تَخَطَّيْتُ اـِلَيْهِ بِالمَكْرُوهِ (tropical:) [ I passed over others to him with that which was disliked or hated, or evil; i. q. تَجَاوَزْتُ]. (TA.) And تخطّى عَنِّى بَصَرُكَ (assumed tropical:) [ Thine eye, or thy sight, passed me over ]. (Aboo-Turáb, TA in art. تيه.) ― -b2- [Also (assumed tropical:) I overstepped it, or transgressed it; namely, a limit prescribed to me, &c.]

خَطْوَةٌ خط خطا خطى خطو خطوه خطوة A step, or pace, as meaning a single act of stepping or pacing or walking: (JK, S, K, Msb:) pl. [of pauc.] خَطَوَاتٌ (S, Msb, K) and [of mult.] خِطَاآءٌ. (S.) Imra-el-Keys says, لَهَا وَثَبَاتٌ كَوَثْبِ الشِّبَاآءِ فَوَادٍ خِطَاآءٌ وَوَادٍ مَطِرْ [ She has bounds like the bounding of gazelles; and a valley is stepped over by her with leisurely steps, and a valley is trampled over by her rapidly as though it were rained upon ]: (S:) i. e., one time she steps, and refrains from running; and one time she runs with a running resembling rain: but AO relates it otherwise, saying, فَوَادٍ خَطِيطٌ [lit. and a valley is not rained upon ]: and some substitute كَصَوْبِ الخَرِيفِ [ like the pouring rain of the autumn ]. (IB, TA.) [See also what next follows.]

And بَيْنَ القَوْلَيْنِ خُطٍى يَسِيرَةٌ (assumed tropical:) Between the two sayings is little difference.

(TA.)

خَطِيَّةٌ خط خطي خطيه خطية خطيئة for خَطِيْئَةٌ: see the latter, in art. خطأ. [Freytag, evidently from his having found it incorrectly written for حَظِيَّةٌ, has assigned to it the meaning of “ amica, ” and “ amata. ”]

نَاقَتُكَ هٰذِهِ مِنَ المُتَخَطِّيَاتِ الجيف ذ [the last word being app. الجِيَفَ] is a saying mentioned by AZ: (TA in the present art.:) or من المُتَخَطِّئَاتِ الجيف. (TA in art. خطأ, where see the explanation.)

1 خَظَا لَحْمُهُ خظا لحمه خظا لحمة , (S, K,) aor. يَخْظُو, (S,) inf. n. خُظُوٌّ, (K,) His flesh was, or became, compact; (S, K;) as also خَظِى, (K in art. خظى,) mentioned, as well as the former, by IF, and also by Kz, who does not mention the former, (TA,) aor. يَخْظَى, inf. n. خَظًى; (K;) or خَظِىَ should not be said; (S;) or خَظَا is more common. (IF.) See also خَظَا and خَظَتَا voce خَاظٍ, below. -A2- خَظَاهُ ا@للّٰهُ God made him, or it, (namely, flesh,) big, or large; (K accord. to the TA;) or big and thick; (CK;) as also ↓ اخظاهُ. (K.)

4 اخظاهُ اخظاه اخظاة : see what immediately precedes. [Freytag also mentions اخظى, on the authority of the “ Deewán el-Hudhaleeyeen, ” as signifying He, or it, caused the flesh in the arm to become prominent, so that the muscles appeared. ] And اخظى also signifies He, or it, fattened, or rendered fat, (K and TA in art. خظى,) the body. (TA.) -A2- اخظى [as an intrans. v.] (said of a man, IAar) He became fat. (IAar, K in art. خظى.)

خَظَا خظا , followed by بَظَا; and the fem. خَظَاةٌ; and خَظَاتَا: see خَاظٍ.

خَظٍ خظ , followed by بَظٍ; and the fem. خَظِيَةٌ, followed by بَظِيَةٌ: see خَاظٍ.

خَظَوَانٌ خظوان One whose flesh is such [ in thickness, or abundance, or brawniness, ] that one part overlies another. (S, K.)

خَاظٍ خاظ Compact, applied to flesh; (TA;) and so بَظَا ↓ خَظَا, (S, TA,) likewise applied to flesh, (TA,) and to a horse, (AHeyth, TA,) [each] originally a verb, (S, TA,) and the latter an imitative sequent; and the fem. ↓ خَظَاةٌ, applied to anything; (TA;) and خَظَاةٌ بَظَاةٌ, applied to a woman, the [radical] ى being changed into ا accord. to the dial. of Teiyi; (AHeyth, TA;) and بَظٍ ↓ خَظٍ, applied to a horse; and بَظِيَةٌ ↓ خَظِيَةٌ, applied to a woman. (AHeyth, K in art. خظى.) The Saadee says, (accord. to the TA, 'Ámir Ibn-Et-Tufeyl,) رِقَابٌ كَالمَوَاجِنِ خَاظِيَاتٌ وَأَسْتَاهٌ عَلَى الأَكْوَارِ كُومُ [ Compact necks like the bleachers' beating implements, and rumps elevated upon the camels' saddles ]. (S.) In the saying of Imra-el-Keys, كَمَا ↓ لَهَا مَتْنَتَانِ خَظَاتَا أَكَبَّ عَلَى سَاعِدَيْهِ النَّمِرْ [ She has two compact portions of flesh and sinew confining her back-bone, like as appear when the leopard falls prostrate upon his fore shanks ], he means خَظَاتَانِ, suppressing the ن for the purpose of alleviation of the utterance: (Fr, S:) or, as some say, he means ↓ خَظَتَا, restoring the ا that fell out on account of the concurrence of two quiescent letters in the sing. [i. e. خَظَاتْ, for خَظَتْ is formed from خَظَاتْ, which is from خَظَوَتْ,] when the ت has become movent. (S.) ― -b2- خَاظٍ also signifies Thick, and hard, firm, or rigid: (TA:) and [so, or simply] thick, applied to an arrow. (AHn, TA.) And one says سَاعِدٌ خَاظِى البَضِيعِ [ A fore arm, or an upper arm, ] full of flesh. (IB, TA in art. بضع.) And رَجُلٌ خَاظِى البَضِيعِ (As, S in art. بضع) A fat man. (TA in that art.)
