(TA.)

اعرش : see 1. ― -b2- اعرش الكَرْمَ : see 2.

تَعَرَّشْنَا We pitched our tent, or tents. (A, TA.) ― -b2- تعرّش بِالبَلَدِ He became fixed, settled, or established, in the country, or town. (AZ, O, K.)

اعترش He made, or took, for himself an عَرِيش . (O, K.) ― -b2- اعترش العِنَبُ The grapes mounted (S, O, K) upon the عَرِيش , (O, K,) or, as in the Mufradát, upon their عريش , (TA,) or upon the عِرَاش [which may be a pl. of عَرِيشٌ , like عَرَايءِشُ , or perhaps it is a mistranscription for this last word]: (S: so in two copies:) and in like manner, اعترش العِنَبُ العَرِيشَ : (L, TA: [expl. by عَلَاهُ عَلَى العِرَاشِ , which seems to be a mistake for عَلَا عَلَى العِرِيشِ :]) and اعترشت القُضْبَانُ عَلَى العَرِيشِ The branches, or shoots, mounted upon the عريش . (A, TA.)

عَرْشٌ A booth, or shed, or thing constructed for shade, ( مِظَلَّةٌ ,) mostly made of canes, or reeds; (K;) and sometimes, (TA,) made of palm-sticks, over which is thrown ثُمَام [a species of panic grass]; (Mgh, TA:) as described by Az, on the authority of the Arabs; (TA;) and such is meant by the عَرْش of Moses: (Mgh:) a thing resembling a house, or tent, made of palm-sticks, over which is put ثُمَام ; as also ↓ عَرِيشٌ : (Msb:) a booth, or shed, syn. خَيْمَةٌ , (K, TA,) made of wood and ثمان ; (TA;) as also ↓ عَرِيشٌ ; (S, A, * O, K;) and such is meant by the ↓ عَرِيش of Moses; (A;) and sometimes the ↓ عَرِيش was made of palm-sticks, with ثُمَام thrown over them: (TA:) both signify a thing, (S, O,) or a house, or the like, (K,) used for shade: (S, O, K:) pl. of the former, عُرُوشٌ (ISd, Mgh, Msb, K) and عُرُشٌ and أَعْرَاشٌ [which is a pl. of pauc.] and عِرَشَةٌ : (K:) or عُرُشٌ is pl. of ↓ عَرِيشٌ , (S, ISd, O, Msb,) not of عَرْشٌ : (ISd:) or it is also pl. of ↓ عَرِيشٌ : (K:) and عُرُوشٌ is also a pl. of ↓ عُرْشٌ , which is a pl. of ↓ عَرِيشٌ . (L.) Hence The houses of Mekkeh, (S, A, Mgh, O, Msb,) in which the needy of its inhabitants dwelt, (Mgh,) or its ancient houses, (K,) were called العُرُوشُ , (S, A, Mgh, O, Msb, K,) and العُرُشُ , (S, Msb,) and ↓ العُرْشُ ; (O, K;) because they were of poles, or sticks, set up, and shaded over: (S, O, Msb:) or Mekkeh itself was called ↓ العُرْشُ : (Az, O, L, K:) or it was called العَرْشُ , with fet-h, and ↓ العَرِيشُ : (Az, L, K:) and its houses were called ↓ العُرْشُ , and العُرُوشُ . (K.) And hence, (S, O, Msb,) the saying in a trad., (S, O,) i. e., the saying of Saad, (K, TA,) when he heard that Mo'áwiyeh forbade the performing conjointly the greater and minor pilgrimages, (TA,) تَمَتَّعْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ ا@للّٰهِ صَلَّى ا@للّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَفُلَانٌ كَافِرٌ بِالْعُرُشِ , (S, O, K, *) or بِالْعُرُوشِ , (S, TA,) i. e., [We performed conjointly the greater and minor pilgrimages with the Apostle of God, (God bless and save him,)] when such a one, meaning Mo'áwiyeh, was abiding (O, L, K) in his state of unbelief, (L,) in Mekkeh; (L, K;) i. e. in the houses thereof: (O, L:) or, as some say, was hiding himself in the houses of Mekkeh. (L.) ― -b2- A house [in an absolute sense]; a dwelling, or place of abode: (Kr, TA:) pl. عُرُشٌ (TA) [and عُرُوشٌ ]. ― -b3- A [building of the kind called] قَصْر . (K.) ― -b4- The wood upon which stands the drawer of water: (K:) or a structure of wood built at the head of the well, forming a shade: [pl. عُرُوشٌ :] when the props are pulled away, the عُرُوش fall down. (TA.) [ عَرْشٌ in relation to a well has also another meaning; which see below.] ― -b5- The wooden thing [or trellis] which serves for the propping of a grape-vine. (TA.) [But this is more commonly called عَرِيشٌ , q. v.] ― -b6- The roof of a house or the like: (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K:) pl. عُرُوشٌ . (A.) So in a trad., where a lamp is mentioned as suspended to the عرش : (O, TA:) and in another, in which a man relates that he used, when upon his عرش , to hear the Prophet's reciting [of the Kur-án]. (TA.) And so it has been expl. as occurring in the phrase of the Kur [ii. 261 and xxii. 44], خَاوِيَةٌ عَلَى عُرُوشِهَا Having fallen down upon its roofs: meaning that its walls were standing when their roofs had become demolished and had fallen to the foundations, and the walls fell down upon the roofs demolished before them: (O, TA:) but some consider على as here meaning عَنْ [from]. (TA.) ― -b7- [Hence, app.,] العَرْشُ is applied to The عَرْش of God, which is not definable: (A, K:) I'Ab is related to have said that the كُرْسِىّ is the place of the feet and the عَرْش is immeasurable: and it is said in the Mufradát of Er-Rághib that the عَرْش of God is one of the things which mankind know not in reality, but only by name; and it is not as the imaginations of the vulgar hold it to be; [namely, the throne of God;] for were it so, it would be a support to Him; not supported; whereas God saith [in the Kur., xxxv. 39], “ Verily God holdeth the heavens and the earth, lest they should move from their place; and if they should move from their place, no one would hold them after Him: ” or, as some say, it is the highest sphere; [or the empyrean;] and the كرسىّ is the sphere of the stars: and they adduce as an indication thereof the saying of Mohammad, that the seven heavens and earths, by the side of the كرسىّ , are nought but as a ring thrown down in a desert land; and such is the كرسىّ with respect to the عَرْش : and this assertion is mentioned in the B, but without approval: (TA:) [it appears, however, to be most commonly accepted:] or a red sapphire, which glistens with the light of the Supreme. (A, K.) [Hence the saying,] مِنَ العَرْشِ اـِلَى الفَرْشِ meaning, [From the highest sphere, or the empyrean, to] the earth. (A.) ― -b8- Also The سَرِير [or throne] (S, A, O, Msb, K) of a king; (S, A, O, K;) the seat of a sultán; [perhaps as being likened to the عرش of God; or, more probably, from its being generally surmounted by a canopy; or] because of its height. (Er-Rághib.) [Hence,] the phrase اِسْتَوَى عَلَى عَرْشِهِ means He reigned as king. (A, TA.) ― -b9- And [hence, also,] Certain stars in advance of السِّمَاك الأَعْزَل [which is Spica Virginis]; (TA;) [app. those meant by what here follows;] عَرْشُ السِّمَاكِ signifies four small stars [app. γ, δ, ε, and η, of Virgo, regarded as the seat of Bootes, the principal star of which is called السِّمَاكُ الرَّامِحُ , being described as] beneath العَوَّا=ء [which is a name of Bootes and also of the four stars mentioned above], and also called عَجُزُ الأَسَدِ [the rump of Leo, the figure of which was extended by the Arabs far beyond the limits which we assign to it]. (S, O, K.) ― -b10- And عَرْشُ الجَوْزَا=ءِ [The seat of Orion; applied by our astronomers to α of Lepus; but described as] four stars, of which two are on the fore legs and two on the hind legs, of Lepus. (Kzw.) ― -b11- And عَمْشُ الثَّرَيَّا Certain stars near الثُّرَيَّا [or the Pleiades]. (T, TA.) ― -b12- عَرْشٌ also signifies The جَمَازَة ; (O, K, TA;) i. e., the bier of a corpse. (O, TA.) And hence, as some say, the expression in a trad., اِهْتَزَّ العَرْشُ لِمَوْتِ سَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ , meaning The bier rejoiced [lit. shook] at the death of Saad Ibn-Mo'ádh; i. e., at carrying him upon it to his place of burial: (O, K, * TA:) but there are other explanations, for which see art. هز . (TA.) ― -b13- The wood with which a well is cased after it has been cased with stones (S, O, K) in its lowest part (S, O) to the height of the stature of a man: (S, O, K:) pl. عُرُوشٌ . (S, O.) [Another meaning of the same word in relation to a well has been mentioned before.] ― -b14- (assumed tropical:) The nest of a bird, such as is built in a tree, (K,) [app. as being likened to a booth.] ― -b15- The angle, or corner, or strongest side, syn. رُكْن , (Ks, Zj, K,) of a house, (Ks, Zj,) or [other] thing: (K:) pl. عُرُوشٌ . (Ks, Zj.) Accord. to some, the phrase in the Kur [ii. 261, mentioned above], خَاوِيَةٌ عَلَى عُرُوشِهَا , means Empty, and fallen to ruin upon its أَرْكَان [or angles, &c.]. (Ks, Zj, O.) ― -b16- [Hence,] (tropical:) The head, or chief, who is the manager or regulator of the affairs, of a people, or company of men: (K:) likened to the عَرْش of a house. (TA.) ― -b17- [Hence also,] (assumed tropical:) The means of support of a thing, or an affair. (A, O, K.) Hence the saying, ثُلَّ عَرْشُهُ , (O, K,) meaning (tropical:) His means of support became taken away: (TA:) or he perished: (A:) or he was slain; as also ↓ ثُلَّ عُرْشُهُ : (IDrd, in M, art. ثل :) or his might, or power, departed: (TA:) or his affairs, or state, became weak, and his might, or power, departed. (S, O. [See also art. ثل .] [For عَرْشٌ also signifies] ― -b18- (tropical:) Might, or power: (Er-Rághib, K:) regal power; sovereignty; dominion: (IAar, Er-Rághib, K:) from the same word as signifying the throne, or seat, of a king. (Er-Rághib.) ― -b19- And The protuberant part (S, O, K) in, (S, O,) or of, (K,) the upper surface of the foot, (S, O, K,) in which are the toes; (S, O, TA;) as also ↓ عُرْشٌ : pl. [of pauc.] أَعْرَاشٌ and [of mult.] عِرَشَةٌ : (O, TA:) and the part between the عَيْر [or prominent bone] and the toes, of the upper surface of the foot; as also ↓ عُرْشٌ : (Ibn- 'Abbád, O, K:) pls. the same as last mentioned above: (K:) or ↓ عُرْشٌ signifies the upper surface of the foot; and its lower surface is called the أَخْمَص . (IAar.)

عُرْشٌ , both as a sing. and as a pl.: see عَرْشٌ , last sentence, in three places: ― -b2- and the same paragraph, first and second sentences, in four places: and see ثُلَّ عُرْشُهُ in the latter part of the same paragraph. ― -b3- العُرْشَانِ signifies Two oblong portions of flesh in the two sides of the neck, [app. the two sterno-mastoid muscles,] (S, A, O, K, TA,) between which are the vertebræ [of the neck]: (TA:) or in the base of the neck: (K:) or the base [itself] of the neck: so in the phrase ثَلَّ عُرْشَيْهِ : (IDrd and M in art ثل , q. v.:) or the أَخْدَعَانِ [or two branches of the occipital artery], (TA, as from the K, [in which I do not find it,]) which are (TA) [in] the two places of the cuppingvessels: (K, TA:) or the أَخْدَعَانِ are in the عُرْشَانِ : (Ibn-'Abbád, O:) or the عُرْش is a vein in the base of the neck: (Th, O:) or the عُرْشَانِ are [app. the two greater cornua of the os hyoides, which forms a support to the tongue; two bones in the لَهَاة [meaning furthest part of the mouth], which erect the tongue. (Ibn-'Abbád, O, K.) It is related in a trad., respecting the slaying of Aboo-Jahl, that he said to Ibn-Mes'ood, خُذْ سَيْفِى فَا@جْتَزَّ بِهِ رَأْسِي مِنْ عُرْشَيَّ [Take thou my sword, and cut with it my head from my عُرْشَانِ ]. (O, TA.) ― -b4- And (assumed tropical:) The ear: (K:) or (assumed tropical:) the two ears: because near to the عُرْشَانِ [properly so called]: hence the saying, نَفَثَ فِى عُرْشَيْهِ (assumed tropical:) He spoke secretly to him, or with him. (As, A, O.) ― -b5- And The extremity of the hair of the mane of a horse: (IDrd, O, K:) or so العُرْشُ . (TA.) ― -b6- Also, (K,) or العُرْشُ , (TA [and thus accord. to a verse there cited],) The bulky she-camel; as though her chest were cased like a well. (K, TA. [See 1.])

عَرِيشٌ : see عَرْشٌ , first and second sentences, in several places. ― -b2- Also, (K,) or عَرِيشُ كَرْمٍ , (S, Mgh, Msb,) [The trellis of a grape-vine;] the structure made for a grape-vine, of sticks, or pieces of wood, in the form of a roof, upon which are put the branches, or shoots, of the vine; (K, * TA;) [also, but less commonly, called عَرْشٌ ;] the structure made for a grape-vine to rise upon it; (Mgh;) the elevated structure upon which a grape-vine spreads itself: (Msb:) pl. عَرَايءِشُ , (Mgh, Msb,) [and perhaps عِرَاشٌ also: see 8.] ― -b3- Also, عَرِيشٌ , A thing resembling a هَوْدَج , (S, O, K,) but not [exactly the same as] it, made for a woman, who sits in it upon her camel: (S, O:) so called as being likened in form to the عريش of a vine: (Er-Rághib:) or ↓ عَرِيشَةٌ , with ة , is the same as هودج ; and its pl. is عَرَايءِشُ , (Msb,) which signifies the same as هَوَادِجُ . (ISh, A.) ― -b4- And An enclosure of the kind called حَظِيرَة , made for beasts, to protect them from the cold. (TA.)
