(A.) ― -b2- He drew back, and became refractory, and made himself like him who has a hollow, or receding, back, and a protruding, or protuberant, breast, or chest. (Har, p. 17.) ― -b3- (assumed tropical:) He drew back; held back; or hung back. (S, K.) You say, تقاعس عَنِ الأَمْرِ (tropical:) He drew back, held back, or hung back, from the thing, or affair, and would not go forward in it; (S, TA;) as also ↓ قَعِسَ , inf. n. قَعَسٌ; and ↓ تقعّس : (TA:) in some copies of the S, instead of تقاعس, in this phrase, we find ↓ تَقَعْوَسَ .

When a man draws water without a pulley, pulling the rope at the head of the well, his back pains him, and it is said to him, وَا@جْذِبِ الدَّلْوَ ↓ اِقْعَنْسِسْ (assumed tropical:) [Go thou backwards, and pull the bucket]. This verb is without idghám because it is quasi-coördinate to اِحْرَنْجَمَ.

(TA.) ― -b6- (tropical:) It (the night) was, or became, long, or protracted; as though it did not quit its place; like بَرَكَ. (A, TA.) See أَقْعَسُ.
