Parallel reading

وقح الحافر، ككرم وفرح ووعد

The hoof became hard, like the verb forms of karuma, fariha, and wa'ada.

وقاحة، بالفتح، ووقوحة، بالضم، كلاهما مصدر وقح ككرم

Waqaha, with fatha, and wuqūḥa, with damma, are both masdars of waqiḥa like karuma.

الأصل وقحة، حذفوا الواو على القياس كما حذفت من عدة وزنة

The origin is waqḥa; they omitted the waw according to analogy, as it was omitted from 'idda and wazna.

ثم إنهم عدلوا بها عن فعلة إلى فعلة، فأقروا الحرف بحاله وإن زالت الكسرة التي كانت موجبة له فقالوا القحة

Then they changed it from fa'la to fa'ala, keeping the letter as it was, even though the kasra that necessitated it was removed, so they said al-qiḥḥa.

فتدرجوا بالقحة إلى القحة وهي وقحة كجفنة، لأن الفاء فتحت لأجل الحرف الحلقي كما ذهب إليه محمد بن يزيد

They progressed from al-qiḥḥa to al-quḥḥa, which is waqḥa like jafna, because the fa was opened due to the guttural letter, as Muhammad ibn Yazid opined.

وأبى الأصمعي في القحة إلا الفتح، كذا في (اللسان)

Al-Aṣma'ī insisted on fatha for al-qiḥḥa, as stated in (al-Lisān).

وقحا، محركة مصدر! وقح، كفرح، هاكذا على الصواب كما في في سائر النسخ

Waqāḥa, with haraka, is a masdar! Waqiḥa, like fariḥa, is correct as in other manuscripts.

واستبه على شيخنا فجعله تارة كالوعد، وتارة بالضم، وتارة، بضمتين، واستدرك بهاذا الأخير على المصنف

And our shaykh was mistaken about it, making it sometimes like al-wa'd, sometimes with damma, and sometimes with two dammas, and he corrected the author with this last one.

وهو واقح، إذا صلب واشتد، وكذالك الخف والظهر

And he is wāqiḥ, when he becomes hard and strong, and likewise the sandal and the back.

وقح الرجل: قل حياؤه

The man became impudent: his shame lessened.

وهو بين الوقح والوقوح، زادهما اللحياني في الوجه

And he is between al-waqiḥ and al-wuqūḥ, al-Laḥyānī added these two forms.

ويقال رجل وقيح الوجه ووقاحه: صلبه قليل الحياء

And it is said of a man with a wuqīḥ al-wajh and waqāḥuhu: his face is hard and he has little shame.

والأنثى وقاح، بغير هاء، والفعل كالفعل، والمصدر كالمصدر

And the feminine is waqāḥ, without ha, and the verb is like the verb, and the masdar is like the masdar.

الوقاحة: الجراءة على القبائح وعدم المبالاة بها، كما نقله البيضاوي والزمخشري

Al-Waqāḥa: boldness in committing shameful acts and indifference to them, as narrated by al-Bayḍāwī and al-Zamakhsharī.

الموقح، كمعظم: المحرب الذي قد أصابته البلايا، عن اللحياني، وهو الموقع أيضا

Al-Mawqiḥ, like mu'aẓẓam: the afflicted one who has been struck by calamities, from al-Laḥyānī, and it also means the place.
