And again, [vi. 67,] الَّذِينَ يَخُوضُونَ فِى آيَاتِنَا (tropical:) [Who enter into false, or vain, discourse or speech respecting our signs; meaning the Kur-án]. (TA.) خَاضَ فِيهِ is also explained as signifying (assumed tropical:) He said what was false respecting it. (TA.) And خَوْضٌ signifies (assumed tropical:) The confusing, or confounding, in an affair. (TA.) ― -b9- خَاضَ, (S, A, Mgh, K,) and ↓ خوّض , (A, TA,) also signify He mixed, (S, * K, TA,) and stirred about, (TA,) the beverage, or wine: (S, K, TA:) or he stirred about the سَوِيق with the مِخْوَض. (A, Mgh. *) ― -b10- خَاضَهُ بِالسَّيْفِ (tropical:) He moved about the sword in him, having smitten him: (S, K, * TA:) or he put [or thrust] the sword into the lower part of his belly, and then raised it upwards.

(S.) 3 خَاْوَضَ see 1, second sentence, in two places: and again in the last sentence. 4 أَخَضْتُ فِى المَآءِ دابَّتِى ذ [I made my beast to wade, or ford, through the water]. (S, A. *) اخاض القَوْمُ خَيْلَهُمُ المَآءَ [The people, or company of men, made their horses to wade, or ford, through the water] is said when they wade, or ford, with their horses through the water. (TA.) اخاض القَوْمُ: and اخاضوا المَآءَ: [which are evidently elliptical phrases:] and اخاض الفَرَسَ: see 1, second sentence. ― -b2- اخاض البَاطِلَ: see 1. -A2- اخاض المَآءُ The water admitted of being walked [or waded or forded] in or through: contr. to general rule; being intrans. while the unaugmented verb is trans. (Msb.) 5 تَخَوَّضَ see 1, first sentence. ― -b2- تخوّض also signifies He constrained himself to wade, or ford, in, or through, water. (K, * TA.) This is the primary signification: and hence, ― -b3- تخوّض فِى الأَمْرِ (tropical:) He employed, or occupied, himself in the affair: and he used art or artifice or cunning, or his own judgment or discretion, in the affair, or in the disposal or management thereof: and so in the phrase تخوّض فى المَالِ: or, accord. to some, this means he acted wrongly in acquiring the property in an improper manner, in whatsoever way it was possible. (TA.) 6 تَخَاْوَضَ see 1, near the middle of the paragraph. 8 إِِخْتَوَضَ see 1, first sentence. مَخَاضٌ مخاض : see مَخَاضَةٌ. مِخْوَضٌ مخوض [The instrument with which beverage, or wine, is mixed and stirred about]; it is, for beverage, or wine, like the مِجْدَح for سَوِيق: (S, K:) or the instrument with which سويق is stirred about. (A, Mgh.) مَخَاضَةٌ مخاض مخاضه مخاضة [A ford; i. e.] a place where people pass through water, walking or riding: (S, A, K:) or a place where one walks through water: (Msb:) pl. ↓ مَخَاضٌ , (S, K,) [or this is rather a coll. gen. n.,] or مَخَائِضُ, (as in one copy of the S,) and مَخَاوِضُ (AZ, S, K) and مَخَاضَاتٌ.
