خَمْسٌ خمس fem. of خَمْسَةٌ [q. v.].

خُمْسٌ خمس : see خُمُسٌ.

خِمْسٌ خمس The drinking of camels on the fifth day, counting the day of the next preceding drinking as the first; their drinking one day, then pasturing three days, then coming to the water on the fifth day, the first and last days, on which they drink, being thus reckoned : this is the correct explanation, accord. to Aboo-Sahl El-Khowlee; and Aboo-Zekereeyà says the like; (TA;) or their pasturing three days, and coming to the water on the fourth day [ not counting the day of the next preceding watering; for it is evident that this explanation is virtually the same as that preceding]: (S, K:) accord. to Lth, the drinking of camels on the fourth day, counting the day on which they returned from [ the next preceding ] watering; but Az says, that this is a mistake; the day of returning from watering not being counted [when it is explained as meaning the drinking on the fourth day]: (TA:) pl. أَخْمَاسٌ, the only pl. form. (Sb, TA.) [See ظِمْءٌ.] Hence, فَلَاةٌ خِمْسٌ [as in copies of the K, or it may be فَلَاةُ خِمْسٍ,] A desert in which the water is far distant, so that the camels come to the water on the fourth day, exclusive of the [ next preceding ] day on which they drank. (Az, K, TA.) Hence also the saying, فُلَانٌ يَضْرِبُ أَخْمَاسًا لِأَسْدَاسٍ (S, K *) (tropical:) Such a one makes a pretence of اخماس [or fifth-day waterings ] for the purpose of اسداس [or sixth-day waterings ]: i. e., he advances his camels from the خِمْس to the سِدْس: (K:) a prov.: (TA:) meaning, such a one strives to deceive, or circumvent : (S, K:) applied to him who acts towards another with artifice, pretending that he obeys him, or complies with his desire: (TA:) or to him who pretends one thing while he means another: (K:) and taken from the saying, related by AO and IAar, ضَرَبَ أَخْمَاسًا لِأَسْدَاسٍ [ He made a pretence of اخماس for the purpose of اسداس]; said of him who proposes a thing whereby he means another thing, which he commences and by slow degrees accomplishes: (TA:) for a man, when he desires to make a long journey, accustoms his camels to drink خِمْسًا سِدْسًا [i. e. on the fifth day and then on the sixth, in each case counting the day of the next preceding drinking as the first ]: (K, TA:) the origin of the saying, accord. to IAar, being this: an old man was among his camels, accompanied by his sons, men, who pastured them, and who had been long far distant from their families; and he told them one day to pasture their camels رِبْعًا [i. e. watering on the fourth day, counting the day of the next preceding watering as the first], which they did, proceeding in the way towards their families: then they proposed to do so خِمْسًا; and then, سِدْسًا: whereupon the old man, understanding what they meant, said, ye are doing nothing but making a pretence of اخماس for the purpose of اسداس: the object of your desire is not the pasturing of them, but it is only your families. (TA.) [See below, voce خُمُسٌ, a saying similar in words but different in meaning.] ― -b2- It is also used for سَيْرُ خِمْسٍ [ A journey in which the camels are watered only on the first and fifth days; a journey in which the second and third and fourth days are without water ]. (L in art. جلذ.) You say خِمسٌ بَصْبَاصٌ, [and صَبْصَابٌ,] and قَعْقَاعٌ, and حَثْحَاثٌ, [and حَصْحَاصٌ, &c.,] i. e. A journey [ in which the camels are watered only on the first and fifth days, ] in the course of which, to the water, there is no flagging, by reason of its remoteness. (TA.) El-'Ajjáj uses the expression خِمْسٌ كَحَبْلِ الشَّعَرِ المُنْحَتِّ meaning, A [ journey of the kind termed ] خمس without any deviation, like a rope made of hair that has fallen off and that is free from any unevenness. (L, TA.) ― -b3- خِمْسٌ also signifies The fifth young one, or offspring. (A in art. ثلث.) -A2- A [ garment of the kind called ] بُرْد, (S, K,) of the fabric of El-Yemen; (S;) so called because first made for a king of El-Yemen named خِمْسٌ, (AA, S,) or الخِمْسُ; (K, TA;) as also ↓ خَمِيسٌ. (TA.) For the latter word, we find in the work of Bkh, خَمِيص, with ص; which, if correct, is masc. of خَمِيصَةٌ, which is a small kind of كِسَاآء. (IAth, and L.) [The pl. of خِمْسٌ applied to a بُرْدَة is أَخْمَاسٌ.] See also مَخْمُوسٌ, in four places.

خُمُسٌ خمس and ↓ خُمْسٌ A fifth part; (Msb, K;) as also ↓ خَمِيسٌ, (S, in art. ثلث, and IAmb and Msb,) agreeably with a rule applicable in the case of every one of the units, except ثَلِيثٌ: (TA:) some allow this last; but AZ disallows it, and خميس also: (S in art. ثلث:) pl. أَخْمَاسٌ. (Msb, TA.) ― -b2- [Hence, app.,] ضَرَبَ أَخْمَاسَهُ فِى أَسْدَاسِهِ He turned his five senses towards his six relative points; [namely, above, below, before, behind, right, and left:] an allusion to the collecting all the thoughts to examine a thing, and turning the attention in all directions. (MF.)

خَمْسَةٌ خمس خمسه خمسة , (S, K,) masc.; and خَمْسٌ, fem.; (S;) [ Five; ] a certain number. (S, K.) You say خَمْسَةُ رِجَالٍ [ Five men ], and خَمْسُ نِسْوَةٍ [ Five women ]. (S.) You say also, عِنْدِى خَمْسَةُ دَرَاهِمْ [ I have five dirhems ], with refa: and if you please, you incorporate the ة into the د [and say, خَمْسَة دَّرَاهِمَ]: but when you prefix ال to دراهم, you say, عِنْدِى خَمْسَةُ الدَّرَاهِمِ [ I have the five dirhems ], with damm; and may not incorporate, because you have incorporated the ل into the د: and in the case of a fem. n. you say, عِنْدِى خَمْسُ القُدُورِ [ I have the five cooking-pots ]: also, هٰذِهِ الخَمْسَةُ الدَّرَاهِمِ [ These five dirhems ]; and, if you please, الدَّرَاهِمُ, using it in the manner of an epithet: and in like manner [you use the other nouns of number] to عَشَرَةٌ [inclusive]. (S.) You say also, صُمْنَا خَمْسًا مِنَ الشَّهْرِ [ We fasted during a period of five nights of the month with their days]; making لَيَالٍ to predominate over أَيَّام, when you do not mention the word ايّام, though the fasting is in the day; because the night of each day precedes the day: but when you mention the word ايّام, you say, صُمْنَا خَمْسَةَ أَيَّامٍ [ We fasted five days ]. (ISk, TA.) يَعَضُّ بِالخَمْسِ means He bites the fingers: these being [five in number and] of the fem gender: (Ham p. 790:) [i. e.] خَمْسٌ means the five fingers. (Har p. 76.) [Respecting a peculiar pronunciation of the people of El-Hijáz, and a case in which خَمْسَة is imperfectly decl., see ثَلَاثَةٌ.] ― -b2- [خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ, masc.; and خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ, fem.; Fifteen. For variations thereof, see art. عشر.]

خَمْسُونَ خمسون [ Fifty, and fiftieth, ] is also written and pronounced خَمِسُونَ, with kesr to the خَمَسُونَ, by poetic license, as related by Ks; or م, with fet-h, as related by others, after the manner of خَمْسَةٌ and خَمَسَاتٌ: (Fr, TA:) accord. to the T, the variation خَمِسُونَ, with kesr to the م, is [dialectic, being] similar to خَمْسَ عَشِرَةَ, with kesr to the ش [in the dial. of Nejd]. (TA.)

جَاؤُوا خُمَاسَ ذ , and ↓ مَخْمَسَ, They came five and five; [or five and five together; or five at a time and five at a time; ] (K, TA;) like as they say, ثُنَاآءَ and مَثْنَى, and رُبَاعَ and مَرْبَعَ: (TA:) or, accord. to A 'Obeyd, not more than أُحَادَ and ثُنَاآءَ and ثُلَاثَ and رُبَاعَ has been heard, except عُشَارَ occurring in a verse of El-Kumeyt. (TA in art. عشر.)

خَمِيسٌ خميس : see خُمُسٌ: ― -b2- and مَخْمُوسٌ, in two places. ― -b3- An army; because consisting of five parts, namely, the van, the body, the right wing, the left wing, and the rear; (S, A, K;) or because the spoils are divided into fifths among it; but this latter assertion requires consideration; (ISd, MF;) for this division of the spoils is an affair of the Muslim law, whereas خميس [thus applied] is an old term: (MF:) or an army having numerous weapons; syn. جَيْشٌ خَشِنٌ. (TA.) ― -b4- يَوْمُ الخَمِيسِ, (S, Msb, K,) and simply الخَمِيسُ, Thursday; the fifth day of the week; thus used for الخَامِسُ, in like manner as الدَّبَرَانُ is applied to the star [that follows the Pleiades, for الدَّابِرُ]: (TA:) pl.

AZ used to say, مَضَى الخَمِيسُ بِمَا فِيهِ [ Thursday passed with what happened in it ], making it sing. and masc.: but Abu-l-Jarráh used to say, مَضَىالخَمِيسُ بِمَ فِيهِنَّ, making it pl. and fem., and using it as a n. of number. (Lh, TA.) It has no dim. (Sb, S in art. امس.) -A2- See also خِمْسٌ, last signification. -A3- مَا أَدْرِى أَىُّ خَمِيسِ النَّاسِ هُوَ means I know not what company of men it is.

(Msb.) ― -b2- See also مَخْمُوسٌ. ― -b3- [Also A word composed of five letters, radical only, or radical and augmentative. ]

خَمِيسِىٌّ خميس خميسى خميسي One who fasts alone on Thursday. (IAar, Th.)

خَامِسٌ خامس [ Fifth ]: for this you also say خَامٍ; (ISk, S, K;) whence the phrase, جَاآئَ فُلَانٌ خَامِيًا [ Such a one came fifth ], for خَامِسًا: (ISk, S:) [fem. with ة.] ― -b2- [خَامِسَ عَشَرَ and خَامِسَة عَشْرَةَ, the former masc. and the latter fem., meaning Fifteenth, are subject to the same rules as ثَالِثَ عَشَرَ and its fem., explained in art. ثلث, q. v.] -A2- اـِبِلٌ خَامِسَةٌ (TA) and خَوَامِسُ (S, K) Camels that drink on the fifth day, counting the day of the next preceding drinking as the first: [see خِمْسٌ:] (TA:) or that pasture three days, coming to the water on the fourth day [not counting the day of the next preceding watering ].
