[either as an inf. n. or as a simple subst.]; (JK;) He grumbled, or uttered a grumbling cry; syn. ضَجَّ; (S;) or uttered a cry, (Mgh, K,) and grumbled; syn. صَوَّتَ فَضَجَّ: (K:) or she uttered a cry [&c.]: (Msb:) so camels are wont to do when the loads are lifted upon them; and youthful camels do so much: (TA:) رُغَآءٌ signifies the cry or crying [or grumbling, which is a kind of gurgling growl,] (S, Msb) of the camel [when he is being laden, and on some other occasions of discontent], (Msb,) or of animals having the kind of foot called خُفّ: (S:) also of the bird called رَغَّآءٌ [&c.]. (TA.) It is said in a prov., كَفَى بِرُغَائِهَا مُنَادِيًا [Her grumbling cry suffices as a caller] i. e., the رُغَآء of his camel serves instead of his calling in presenting himself for entertainment as a guest: (S:) A'Obeyd says that it is well known to the Arabs as relating to the accomplishment of an object of want before the asking for it: and it is applied also to the case of a man whose aid is wanted and who does not come to thee; excusing himself by saying that he did not know: and to the case of one who stands at a man's door, and to whom it is said, “ Send him who shall ask permission for thee [to go in]; ” whereupon he replies, “ His knowledge of my standing at his door suffices for asking permission for me: if he pleased, he would grant me permission. ” (Meyd. [See also Freytag's Arab. Prov. ii. 328—9.]) And in another prov., البَكْرِكَانَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ كَرَاغِيَةِ , (JK, Meyd,) or السَّقْبِ, [i. e. There befell them the like of the grumbling cry of the young camel,] meaning, the رُغَآء of the young camel of Thamood [which preceded the destruction of those who heard it]: the prov. relates to the auguring evil from a thing. (Meyd. [See also Freytag's Arab. Prov. ii. 327.]) ― -b2- رَغَا said of a boy, or child, means (tropical:) He wept most violently. (K, TA.) ― -b3- [It is also, app., said of a man, as meaning (assumed tropical:) He shouted: and (assumed tropical:) he spoke with a loud voice.

(Msb.) ― -b2- [Hence,] أَمْسَتْ إِِبِلُهُمْ تُرَغِّى وَتُنَشِّفُ, i. e. [Their camels became, or became in the evening, so as that they yielded frothy milk; or so as that] they had رَغْوَة and نُشَافَة.

[See a prov. cited in the first paragraph.]) Sebrah Ibn-'Amr El-Fak'asee says, “ وَمَا يُرْغَى لِشَدَّادٍ فَصِيلُ
” [And a young camel belonging to the family of Sheddád is not made to utter its grumbling cry for the want of its mother]; meaning that they are niggardly; that they will not separate the young camel from its mother by slaughter nor by gift. (S.) And it is said in a prov., “ أَرْغُوا لَهَا حُوَارَهَا تَقِرُّ
” [Make ye her (the camel's) young one to utter its grumbling cry, then she will be quiet]: for the she-camel when she hears the رُغَآء of her young one becomes still: (Meyd:) the prov. means, give him that which he wants, [then] he will be quiet. (JK, Meyd. [See also Freytag's Arab. Prov. i. 532.]) أَرْغَوْا لِلرَّحِيلِ means They made their saddle-camels to utter the grumbling cry [for removal, or departure, or journeying]; camels being wont to do so when the loads are lifted upon them. (TA.) ― -b2- Hence, ارغاهُ (assumed tropical:) He subdued, subjected, or oppressed, him; and abased him: because the camel [generally] does not utter the cry termed رُغَآء except in consequence of abasement, or humiliation.

(IAth, TA.) 8 ارتغى ذ He drank رَغْوَة, i. e. froth: (S, Msb:) or ارتغى رَغْوَةً he took, and sipped, or supped, froth. (K.) It is said in a prov., يُسِرُّ حَسْوًا فِى ا@رْتِغَآءٍ [He conceals a sipping, or supping, in drinking froth]: applied to him who pretends one thing when he means, or desires, another: (S:) accord. to AZ and As, it originated from a man's having some milk brought to him, and his pretending that he desired the froth, and, while drinking this, taking of the milk; and is applied to a man who pretends to aid thee, and benefits himself: (Meyd:) Esh-Shaabee, to one who asked him respecting a man who kissed his wife's mother, replied in these words; and added, “ His wife has become unlawful to him. ” (S.) رَغْوَةٌ ذ A single uttering of the grumbling cry termed رُغَآء.
