1 طَعَنَهُ بِالرُّمْحِ ذ , aor. طَعُنَ and طَعَنَ , (S, Msb, K,) the latter allowed by Fr as aor. of the verb in all its senses, (S, Msb,) because of the faucial letter, (Msb,) and heard by him as aor. of the verb in this phrase, but not by Ks in this case nor in relation to the grounds of pretension to respect or honour, (TA,) inf. n. طَعْنٌ, (S, Msb, K,) and مَطْعَنٌ, (Msb,) and Lth authorizes طَعَنَانٌ also in this case as well as in the case of طَعَنَ بِالقَوْلِ, (TA,) He smote him and pierced him, or he smote him and he pierced him, [for it does not always signify the causing the weapon to enter,] with the spear; (K;) he pierced him, smote him, or wounded him, with the spear: (MA:) [sometimes طَعَنَهُ means he pierced, stabbed, stuck, or gored, him with a spear, &c.; and sometimes, he thrust, goaded, or poked, him:] you say, طَعَنَ الدَّابَّةَ بِعُودٍ أَوْ نَحْوِهِ [He goaded the beast with a stich or the like]. (Mgh and Msb in art. نخس.) ― -b2- [Hence,] طُعِنَ (tropical:) He was smitten by the طَاعُون i. e. plague, or pestilence; (Z, Msb, K, TA;) said of a man, (Msb, TA,) and of a camel. (TA.) ― -b3- And طَعَنَ فِيهِ بِالقَوْلِ, (S, Msb, K,) and عَلَيْهِ, (Msb, TA,) and طَعَنَهُ بِلِسَانِهِ, (TA,) [and طَعَنَ فِى عِرْضِهِ,] aor. طَعُنَ , (Lth, TA,) or, accord. to some, in this case طَعَنَ , (TA,) or both, (Msb,) inf. n. طَعْنٌ and طَعَنَانٌ, (S, Msb, K, TA, [the latter in the CK, erroneously, طَعْنَان, but expressly said in the TA to be بِالتَّحْرِيك,]) (tropical:) [He wounded him, or attacked him, with words, and with his tongue; and wounded, or attacked, his reputation;] he blamed, censured, or reproached, him; attributed or imputed to him, charged him with, or accused him of, a vice, fault, or the like; or spoke against him. (Msb, TA.) A poet says, (S,) namely, Aboo-Zubeyd, (TA,) “ وَأَبِى ظَاهِرُ الشَّنَآءَةِ إِِلَّا
طَعَنَانًا وَقَوْلَ مَا لَا يُقَالٌ
” [And my father is one in whom hatred is manifest, (or, as in the TA, المُظْهِرُ العَدَاوَةَ, he who manifests enmity,) except in censuring, and saying what should not be said]. (S.) طَعَنَانٌ is of a measure of inf. ns. of verbs denoting that in which is prolongation and perseverance; and aptly applies to deviation from the right course. (TA.) ― -b4- طَعَنَ إِِلَى أُمِّهِ is said of a child, meaning He raised his head [or thrust with it] towards the breast of his mother. (L.) ― -b5- And طَعَنَ فِى الدَّارِ, said of a branch of a tree, (L, Msb,) means It inclined into, or against, the house, rising: (L:) or it inclined towards the house, extending sideways. (Msb.) ― -b6- طَعَنَتْ فِى الخِدْرِ, said, in a trad., of any one of the Prophet's daughters, when demanded in marriage, as denoting her disapproval, means (assumed tropical:) She entered within the خِدْر [or curtain]: or, as some say, she struck the خدر with her hand. (TA in art. خدر.) ― -b7- And you say, طَعَنَ فِى المَفَازَةِ, (S, Msb, K,) aor. طَعُنَ and طَعَنَ , (S,) inf. n. طَعْنٌ, (Msb,) (tropical:) He went away in, or into, the desert, (S, Msb, K, TA,) penetrated into it, (TA,) and traversed it. (So in a copy of the S.) ― -b8- And طَعَنَ اللَّيْلَ (tropical:) He journeyed throughout the whole of the night. (K, TA.)

(TA.) ― -b10- And طَعَنَ فِيهِ means also (assumed tropical:) He began it, or entered upon it, namely, a thing, (Msb, TA,) or an affair, of any kind. (Msb.)
