(TA.) رِجْسٌ ذ Uncleanness, dirt, or filth: or an unclean, a dirty, or a filthy, thing: syn. قَذَرٌ: (S, A, Msb, K, TA: [in the CK, القَدَرُ is put by mistake for القَذَرٌ:]) or شَىْءٌ قَذِرٌ: (TA:) anything that is disliked, or hated, for its uncleanness, dirtiness, or filthiness: stink, or foul odour: accord. to Az, filth that comes forth from the body of a man: En-Nakkásh says that it is syn. with نِجْسٌ; and it is said in the Bári' that sometimes they say الرَّجَاسَةُ وَالنَّجَاسَةُ, meaning that they make these two words syn.: (Msb:) it is also written ↓ رَجِسٌ and ↓ رَجَسٌ : (A, K:) you say رِجْسٌ نِجْسٌ, and رَجِسٌ نَجِسٌ; and IDrd says, I think that they also said رَجَسٌ نَجَسٌ: Pr says that when رجس is followed by نجس, the ج is with kesr; but when نجس is mentioned without رجس, the ج and ن are with fet-h.

(Aboo-Jaafar.) ― -b3- (assumed tropical:) Punishment; (Fr, T, S, A, K;) a sense which Z makes tropical, as being the recompense of رِجْس [in the sense of “ sin ”], (TA;) and anger: (Fr, S, A, K:) so in the Kur x. 100: like رِجْزٌ, which is perhaps formed from it by the change of س into ز: (Fr, S:) and sometimes, malediction, or execration. (L.) -A2- A light, or slight, motion. (TA.) -A3- Suggestion of the devil. (TA.) رَجَسٌ ذ : see رِجْسٌ; the latter, in two places. رَجِسٌ ذ : see رِجْسٌ; the latter, in two places. رَجُوسٌ ذ : see رَاجِسٌ; the latter, in three places. رَجَّاسٌ ذ : see رَاجِسٌ; the latter, in three places. رَاجِسٌ ذ and ↓ مُرْتَجِسٌ (A, K) and ↓ رَجَّاسٌ (S, A, K) A cloud making a loud, or vehement, sound; (S, A, K, TA;) and so thunder.

(A.) ― -b2- [And in like manner,] ↓ رَجَّاسٌ (S, K) and ↓ رَجُوسٌ and ↓ مِرْجَسٌ (K) A camel that brays vehemently. (S, K, * TA.) You say also الحَنِينِ ↓ نَاقَةٌ رَجْسَآءُ , [fem. of ↓ أَرْجَسُ ,] A she-camel that utters the [yearning cry termed] حَنِين consecutively, or continuously. (IAar, TA.) ― -b3- [And hence,] ↓ الرَجَّاسُ The sea: (K:) because of the sound of its waves; or because of its commotion. (TA.) -A2- رَاجِسٌ also signifies The thrower of the مِرْجَاس; (K;) and so ↓ مُرْجِسٌ . (TA.) أَرْجَسُ ذ ; and its fem. رَجْسَآءُ: see رَاجِسٌ. مُرْجِسٌ ذ : see رَاجِسٌ, last sentence. مِرْجَسٌ ذ : see رَاجِسٌ. مِرْجَاسٌ ذ A stone which is tied to the end of a rope, and which is then let down into a well, and stirs up its black mud, after which the water is drawn forth, and thus the well is cleansed: (S, K: *) or a stone which is thrown into a well in order that one may know, by the sound thereof, its depth; or that one may know whether there be in it water or not: (IAar, K:) or, accord. to ISd, the name by which this is known is مِرْدَاسٌ. (TA.) إِِنَّهُ لَرِجْسٌ مَرْجُوسٌ ذ and رجل مَرْجُوسٌ [are phrases mentioned, but not explained, in the TA: but I think that رجل is a mistranscription for رِجْزٌ; and that مرجوس, in each case, is a corroborative]. هُمْ فِى مَرْجُوسَةٍ ذ , (S, A, K,) and ↓ فى مَرْجُوسَآءَ , (TA,) They are in a state of confusion (S, A, K) and perturbation, (A,) مِنْ أَمْرِهِمْ in respect of their affair, or case. (S, TA.) مَرْجُوسَآءُ ذ : see what next precedes. مُرْتَجِسٌ ذ : see رَاجِسٌ. نَرْجِسٌ ذ (S, Msb, K) and نِرْجِسٌ (AA, Sgh, Msb, K) [The narcissus;] a certain sweet-smelling flower, (Msb, * TA,) well known: (Msb, K:) the smell of which is beneficial for the cold rheum and the cold headache: (K:) the word is arabicized, (S, Msb, TA,) from [the Persian] نَرْگِسْ: (TA:) [this being the case, the ن should be regarded as radical it is said, however, that] the ن in نَرْجِسٌ is augmentative, because there is no word of the measure فَعْلِلٌ, but there is of the measure نَفْعِلٌ, (S,) though only what is changed, in application, from a verb: (Msb:) but نِرْجِسٌ is of the measure فِعْلِلُ; (TA;) or it is of the measure نِفْعِلٌ, the augmentative letter being made to accord in its vowel with the radical letter in إِِذْخِرٌ and that in إِِثْمِدٌ &c.: (Msb:) or, accord. to IDrd, نَرْجِسٌ is of the measure فَعْلِلٌ, and the only instance of that measure. (TA in art. نرجس.) If you name a man نَرْجِس, you make it imperfectly decl., because it is like نَضْرِبُ: (S:) but if you name him نِرْجِس, it is perfectly decl., because it is of the measure فِعْلِلٌ (TA) [or نِفْعِلٌ, neither of which is the measure of a verb]. ― -b2- نَرْجِسُ المَائِدَةِ: see زُمَاوَرْدٌ.
