دُخْنَانٌ دخنان : see دُخْنَا=ءٌ .

دُخَانٌ دخان (S, Msb, K) and ↓ دُخَّانٌ , (K,) which latter is the form [now] commonly used, (TA,) and ↓ دَخَنٌ , (S, K,) i. q. عُثَانٌ [a less usual term, meaning Smoke]: (K: [in the S it is said merely that the دُخَان of fire is well known:]) pl. (of the first, S, Msb) دَوَاخِنُ , (S, Msb, K,) like as عَوَاثِنُ is pl. of عُثَانٌ , (S, Msb,) the only other instance of the kind, (Msb,) deviating from rule, (S,) and دَوَاخِينُ , [also irreg., and both pls. of mult.,] and أَدْخِنَةٌ [a pl. of pauc.]. (K.) [Hence, the tribes of] Ghanee and Báhileh ( غَنِىّ and بَاهِلَة ) were called اِبْنَا دُخَانٍ [The two sons of smoke] (S, K, TA) because they smoked a party of men ( دَخَّنُوا عَلَى قَوْمٍ ) in a cave and so killed them.

(TA.) ― -b2- دُخَانٌ is also used by the Arabs for (assumed tropical:) Evil, or mischief, when it arises; as in the saying, كَانَ بَيْنَنَا أَمْرٌ ا@رْتَفَعَ لَهُ دُخَانٌ [There was between us an affair that had evil, or mischief, arising in consequence of it]. (TA.) ― -b3- It also means (assumed tropical:) Dearth, drought, sterility, or unfruitfulness; and hunger: and so it has been said to mean in the Kur xliv. 9: for it is said that the hungry [once] saw smoke ( دُخَان ) between him and the sky: or hunger is thus called because of the dryness of the earth in drought, and the rising of the dust, which is likened to دُخَان [properly so termed]. (TA.) ― -b4- [In the present day, it is also applied, but generally pronounced ↓ دُخَّان , to Tobacco; nicotiana tabacum of Linn.]

دُخَّانٌ دخان : see the next preceding paragraph, first and last sentences.

(TA.)

أَدْخَنُ , applied to a ram [&c.], (JK, S,) Of a dusky, or dingy, colour, inclining to blackness: (JK, S, K:) fem. دَخْنَا=ءُ . (S, K.)

[ مَدْخَنٌ مدخن A place of smoke.]

مَدْخَنَةٌ مدخن مدخنه مدخنة : see دَاخِنَةٌ .

مِدْخَنَةٌ مدخن مدخنه مدخنة A vessel for fumigation; i. q. مِجْمَرَةٌ : (K:) or differing from the مِجْمَرَة , [app. in being made only of baked clay,] and not disapproved; whereas the مجمرة is disapproved, because generally of silver: (Mgh in art جمر :) pl. مَدَاخِنُ . (TA.)
