الخِصْيُ والخَصِيَّةُ، بِضَمِّهِمَا وَكَسْرِهِمَا: مِنْ أَعْضَاءِ التَّنَاسُلِ

The khisyu and the khisyah, with both their vowels being dhamma or kasrah: are from the organs of reproduction.

وَهَاتَانِ خَصِيَتَانِ وَخِصْيَانِ، ج خُصَى

And these are two testicles and khisyān, the plural is khusā.

الخَصِيَّةُ وَاحِدَةُ الخُصَى، وَكَذَلِكَ الخَصِيَّةُ بِالكَسْرِ.

The khisyah is one of the khusā, and likewise the khisyah with kasrah.

وَالخُصْيَتَانِ البَيْضَتَانِ، وَالخِصْيَانِ: الجِلْدَتَانِ اللَّتَانِ فِيهِمَا البَيْضَتَانِ

And the two khusyatān are the two eggs (testicles), and the khisyān: are the two skins in which are the two eggs.

كَأَنَّ خُصْيَيْهِ مِنَ التَّدَلْدُلِ ظَرْفُ عَجُوزٍ فِيهِ ثِنْتَا حَنْظَلُو

As if his two testicles, from their dangling, were the pouch of an old woman containing two colocynths.

فَإِذَا ثَنَّيْتَ قُلْتَ خِصْيَانِ لَمْ تَلْحَقْهُ التَّاءُ، وَكَذَلِكَ الأَلْيَةُ إِذَا ثُنِّيَتْ قُلْتَ أَلْيَانِ، وَهُمَا نَادِرَانِ

And if you dualize, you say khisyān without attaching the ta', and likewise the rump if dualized, you say alyān, and these are rare.

قَدْ جَاءَ خِصْيٌ لِلْوَاحِدِ فِي قَوْلِ الرَّاجِزِ: صَغِيرَةٌ كَخِصْيِ تَيْسٍ وَارِمَهْ

Khisy (singular) has occurred in the saying of the rajaz poet: 'Small like the swollen testicle of a ram.'

يَا بَيَبَا أَنْتَ وَيَا فَوْقَ البَيَبِ يَا بَيَبَا خِصْيَاكَ مِنْ خَصَى وَزَبْ

O you who are a leader and above the leaders, O leader, your testicles are from castration and arousal.

كَأَنَّ خُصْيَيْهِ إِذَا تَدَلْدَلا أَثْفِيَتَانِ يَحْمِلَانِ مِرْجَلًا

As if his two testicles, when they dangled, were two tripods carrying a cauldron.

قَدْ حَلَفْتُ بِاللهِ لاَ أُحِبُّهُ أَنْ طَالَ خِصْيَاهُ وَقَصُرَ زِبُّهُ

I have sworn by God that I will not love him if his testicles are long and his penis is short.

وَقَوْلُهُمْ هَاتَانِ خَصِيَتَانِ هُوَ القِيَاسُ، وَلَكِنَّهُ قَلِيلٌ فِي السَّمَاعِ، وَالثَّانِي بِخِلاَفِهِ

And their saying 'these are two testicles' is the standard, but it is rare in hearing, and the second (form) is the opposite.

كُلُّ مَقْرُونَيْنِ لاَ يَفْتَرِقَانِ فَلَكَ أَنْ تَحْذِفَ مِنْهُمَا هَاءَ التَّأْنِيثِ؛ وَمِنْهُ قَوْلُهُ: يَرْتَجُّ أَلْيَاهُ ارْتِجَاجَ الوَطْبِ

For every pair that are not separated, you may omit the feminine ta' from them; and from this is his saying: 'His two rumps shake like the shaking of a milk skin.'

وَإِنَّ الفَحْلَ تُنْزَعُ خُصْيَتَاهُ فَيُضْحِي جَافِرًا قَرْحَ العِجَانِ

And the khisyah is feminized when singular, but when they dualize, they masculineize, and some Arabs say al-khusyatān.

وَقَالَ ابْنُ شِمَيْلٍ: يُقَالُ إِنَّهُ لَعَظِيمُ الخُصْيَتَيْنِ وَالخُصْيَيْنِ، فَإِذَا أَفْرَدُوا قَالُوا خَصِيَةٌ.

And Ibn Shumayl said: It is said that he has large testicles (khusyatayn and khusyayn), but when they use the singular, they say khisyah.

فَهُوَ خَصِيٌّ، عَلَى فَعِيلٍ: وَيَقُولُونَ: خَصِيٌّ نَصِيٌّ إِتْبَاعٌ؛ عَنِ اللِّحْيَانِيِّ.

And it is a place in the lands of Banu Yarbu' bin Hanzalah in Najd, between Afāq and Afīq; Nasr said this and noted it thus.

وَالخَصِيُّ: فُرْسَانٌ لَهُمْ، أَحَدُهُمَا لِبَنِي قَيْسِ بْنِ عَتَّابٍ، وَالثَّانِي لِلأَجْلَحِ بْنِ قَاسِطٍ الضَّبَابِيِّ.

And it is rare; we have not heard for the singular of khusā except khisyah with ya', because its origin is from ya'.
