1 خَشَفَ ذ , aor. خَشِفَ (S, Sgh, L, K) and خَشُفَ , (L, K,) inf. n. خَشْفٌ, (S,) He, or it, made a sound, (L, K,) or what is termed حِسّ [i. e. a low, faint, gentle, or soft, sound], (S,) and an audible motion: (S, L:) said of a man: and said also of snow, as meaning it caused one to hear a [sound such as is termed] خَشْفَة in walking [upon it]; as is the case in intense cold. (S.) And خَشَفَ, aor. خَشِفَ , inf. n. خُشُوفٌ, said of snow, It was rough, so that it caused one to hear a خَشْفَة in walking [upon it]: and in like manner said of ice; i. e. it was soft, or yielding [to the feet, crackling], or easily broken. (TA.) A poet says, (S,) namely, El-Katámee, (TA,) “ إِِذَا كَبَّدَ النَّجْمُ السَّمَآءَ بِشَتْوَةٍ
عَلَىحِينَ هَرَّ الكَلْبُ والثَّلْجُ خَاشِفُ
” [When the asterism of the Pleiades culminates in winter, at the time when the dog whines by reason of the cold, and the snow causes one to hear a slight sound in walking upon it]: (S:) or, accord. to IB, the right reading is, بِسُحْرَةٍ [a little before daybreak, or in the last third of the night]: (TA:) حين is here mansoob because على is made to be redundant, and because it is prefixed to a verbal proposition: (S:) this is the more approved way in a case of this kind, when the verb commencing the proposition is a pret.; but some say على حِينِ.
