Table of Contents:
خَاضِعٌ خاضع Lowly, humble, or submissive; (Msb;) and ↓ خَضُوعٌ signifies the same: (S, K:) [or rather the latter is an intensive epithet, signifying very lowly, &c.:] the pl. of the former is خَاضِعُونَ and خُضَّعٌ and خُضْعَانٌ, or خِضْعَانٌ: (TA:) [respecting the last two of which, see 1, second sentence:] and the pl. of ↓ خَضُوعٌ is خُضُعٌ; (S, K;) as in the phrase قَوْمٌ خُضُعُ الرِّقَابِ [A people, or company of men, very submissive in the necks]. (S.) It is said in the Kur [xxvi. 3], فَظَلَّتْ أَعْنَاقُهُمْ لَهَا خَاضِعِينَ And their necks shall continue, the pret. being used in the sense of the aor., meaning تَدُومُ, (Jel,) submissive to it: (Jel, * TA:) the original of the phrase is فَظَلُّوا لَهَا خَاضِعِينَ; and اعناق is redundantly inserted to show the place of خُضُوع, and the predicate is left in its original state: (Bd:) or as the خضوع is only that of the اعناق, it is allowable to make the predicate relate to [the pronoun هم, which is] the complement of the latter word: (Sb, Kh:) or since the خضوع is ascribed to the necks but really belongs to the persons, the epithet has that form of pl. which is proper to rational beings: (Jel: [and the like is said by Bd:]) or اعناقهم means their chiefs: or their companies: but there is another reading [which is literally grammatical], namely خَاضِعَةً. (Bd.) ― -b2- The pl. خُضَّعٌ is also applied to Women who have been [ or who are] soft in speech, and still. (IAar.) [See 1.] ― -b3- نَعَامٌ خَوَاضِعُ [pl. of خَاضِعَةٌ] Ostriches inclining their heads towards the ground in their places of pasture; and in like manner, ظِبَآءٌ [gazelles]. (TA.) ― -b4- إِِبِلٌ خَوَاضِعُ (tropical:) Camels striving, or exerting themselves, or hastening, in their pace, or going; because, when they do so, they lower their necks. (TA.) ― -b5- مَنْكِبٌ خَاضِعٌ and ↓ أَخْضَعُ A low, or depressed, shoulder-joint. (TA.) ― -b6- نُجُومٌ خَوَاضِعُ (tropical:) Stars inclining to setting, or to their places of setting. (A, TA.) -A2- Inviting to that which is foul, abominable, or evil. (TA.)
