(TA.) ― -b2- It (a thing, Msb, a flow of milk, TA, and (assumed tropical:) the price of a commodity, S, Msb, K) decreased, or diminished, or became deficient. (S, Msb, K.) ― -b3- وَمَا تَغِيضُ ا@لْأَرْحَامُ وَمَا تَزْدَادُ, (S, * K, * TA,) in the Kur [xiii. 9], (S,) means And the wombs' falling short [of completion or of what is usual], (Akh, S, Bd,) and their exceeding [therein], in respect of the body [of the fœtus], and the period of gestation, and the number borne: (Bd:) or, as some say, in respect of the menstrual blood: (Bd:) or the wombs' falling short of the nine months (Zj, O, L, and so in copies of the K, but in others seven months,) of gestation, and their exceeding the nine [or seven] months: (Zj, O, L:) or the wombs' falling short of completion, so that the fœtus dies, and their exceeding so that the gestation becomes complete: and accord. to this explanation, the reading of seven months in the K may be correct: see also Katádeh's explanation of غَيْضٌ, below, which favours this reading. (TA.) ― -b4- You say also, غَاضَ الكِرَامُ وَفَاضَ اللِّئَامُ (S, A) (tropical:) The generous became few, (S, TA,) and failed, or perished, (TA,) and the mean became many. (S.) -A2- غَاضَهُ, (S, Msb, K,) aor. as above, inf. n. غَيْضٌ, (TA,) He (God, S, Msb) made it (i. e. water) to become scanty, or little in quantity, and to sink into the earth, or disappear in the earth: (S:) or made it to decrease, or diminish, or become deficient: (K:) or made it to go away into the earth: (Msb:) and ↓ اغاضهُ signifies the same; (S, A, K;) and so does ↓ غيّضهُ , inf. n. تَغْيِيضٌ: (TA:) thus the first of these verbs is trans. as well as intrans. (S.) [It is said in the Kur xi. 46,] وَغِيضَ ا@لْمَآءُ (S, A) And the water was made to become scanty, &c.: (S:) or was made to decrease, or diminish. (A, * Bd.) And hence the saying of 'Áïsheh, describing her father, وَغَاضَ نَبْعَ الرِّدَّةِ (assumed tropical:) And he did away with what appeared of apostacy. (TA.) You say also, دَمْعَهُ ↓ غيّض , (S, * K,) inf. n. as above, (K,) He made his tears to diminish, (S, K,) and restrained them: (S:) or he took the tears from his eye and dashed them away. (Th.) A poet says, (TA,) namely, Jereer, (O and TA in art. غبض,) “ مِنْ عَبَرَاتِهِنَّ وَقُلْنَ لِى ↓ غَيَّضْنَ
مَا ذَا لَقِيتَ مِنَ الهَوَى وَلَقِينَا
” meaning They made their tears to flow until they exhausted them [and they said to me, What is it that thou hast experienced, of love, and we have experienced?]: ISd says that من here denotes some; or it may be redundant, accord. to the opinion of Abu-l-Hasan; for he holds that it may be so in affirmative [as well as negative] phrases, mentioning, as an instance, قَدْ كَانَ مِنْ مَطَرٍ, meaning قَدْ كَانَ مَطَرٌ. (TA.) One relation of this verse gives غَبَّضْنَ; but the former is the right. (O and TA in art. غبض.) ― -b2- Also He opened a way, passage, or channel, for it (namely water) to flow forth to a مَغِيض [q. v.]. (Msb.) ― -b3- (assumed tropical:) He diminished it, namely the price of a commodity; (Ks, S, Msb, K;) as also ↓ اغاضهُ . (K.) ― -b4- And He caused him to suffer loss, or detriment; and wronged, or injured, him. (ISd, TA.)
