1 قَنَحَهُ ذ , (S, K, TA,) aor. قَنَحَ , (K, TA,) inf. n. قَنْحٌ, (S, TA,) He bent it, or curved it, (S, K, TA,) i. e. a thing, (S,) or a stick, or branch, (TA,) [at the end,] like a مِحْجَن, (S, K, TA,) or صَوْلَجَان. (TA.) ― -b2- And قَنَحَ البَابَ He hewed, or cut out, a wooden implement, (called a قُنَّاحَة [q. v.], L,) and with it raised [and opened] the door; as also ↓ اقنحهُ : (T, L, K, TA:) or [simply] he raised [and opened] the door with the wooden implement called a قُنَّاحَة; and so ↓ قنّحهُ : (A:) [or] البالبَ ↓ قنّح , (S, K,) inf. n. تَقْنِيحٌ, (K,) He adjusted (أَصْلَحَ) a قُنَّاحَة to the door. (S, K.) -A2- And قَنَحَ, (K, TA,) aor. and inf. n. as above, (TA,) said of one drinking, He satisfied his thirst, and, by reason thereof, raised his head; and showed, or expressed, dislike of drinking (تَكَارَهَ عَلَى الشُّرْبِ); like ↓ تقنّح ; (K, TA;) which is the more approved [and to which, as well as to the former verb, both of the clauses of the explanation above relate, as will be shown by what follows]: in some of the copies [of the K] like ↓ قنّح : accord. to AHn, one says, قَنَحَ مِنَ الشَّرَابِ, aor. and inf. n. as above, meaning he sipped [of the wine or beverage]; and accord. to Az, ↓ تَقَنَّحْتُ مِنَ الشَّرَابِ, which, he says, is the prevailing expression: hence the saying of Umm-Zara, أَشْرَبُ ↓ فَأَتَقَنَّحُ , i. e. I [drink, and] stop, or interrupt, drinking, and proceed leisurely therein: or, I drink after the satisfying of thirst: which latter explanation, mentioned on the authority of AZ, is that which is approved by Sh and Az, in opposition to Aboo-'Abd-Allah Et-Tuwál, who thought it to mean I drink by little and little. (TA. [See also this saying of Umm-Zara, with another reading of it, in the last sentence but one of art. قمح.])
