خِمْسٌ خمس The drinking of camels on the fifth day, counting the day of the next preceding drinking as the first; their drinking one day, then pasturing three days, then coming to the water on the fifth day, the first and last days, on which they drink, being thus reckoned: this is the correct explanation, accord. to Aboo-Sahl El-Khowlee; and Aboo-Zekereeyà says the like; (TA;) or their pasturing three days, and coming to the water on the fourth day [not counting the day of the next preceding watering; for it is evident that this explanation is virtually the same as that preceding]: (S, K:) accord. to Lth, the drinking of camels on the fourth day, counting the day on which they returned from [the next preceding] watering; but Az says, that this is a mistake; the day of returning from watering not being counted [when it is explained as meaning the drinking on the fourth day]: (TA:) pl. أَخْمَاسٌ , the only pl. form. (Sb, TA.) [See ظِمْءٌ .] Hence, فَلَاةٌ خِمْسٌ [as in copies of the K, or it may be فَلَاةُ خِمْسٍ ,] A desert in which the water is far distant, so that the camels come to the water on the fourth day, exclusive of the [next preceding] day on which they drank. (Az, K, TA.) Hence also the saying, فُلَانٌ يَضْرِبُ أَخْمَاسًا لِأَسْدَاسٍ (S, K *) (tropical:) Such a one makes a pretence of اخماس [or fifth-day waterings] for the purpose of اسداس [or sixth-day waterings]: i. e., he advances his camels from the خِمْس to the سِدْس : (K:) a prov.: (TA:) meaning, such a one strives to deceive, or circumvent: (S, K:) applied to him who acts towards another with artifice, pretending that he obeys him, or complies with his desire: (TA:) or to him who pretends one thing while he means another: (K:) and taken from the saying, related by AO and IAar, ضَرَبَ أَخْمَاسًا لِأَسْدَاسٍ [He made a pretence of اخماس for the purpose of اسداس ]; said of him who proposes a thing whereby he means another thing, which he commences and by slow degrees accomplishes: (TA:) for a man, when he desires to make a long journey, accustoms his camels to drink خِمْسًا سِدْسًا [i. e. on the fifth day and then on the sixth, in each case counting the day of the next preceding drinking as the first]: (K, TA:) the origin of the saying, accord. to IAar, being this: an old man was among his camels, accompanied by his sons, men, who pastured them, and who had been long far distant from their families; and he told them one day to pasture their camels رِبْعًا [i. e. watering on the fourth day, counting the day of the next preceding watering as the first], which they did, proceeding in the way towards their families: then they proposed to do so خِمْسًا ; and then, سِدْسًا : whereupon the old man, understanding what they meant, said, ye are doing nothing but making a pretence of اخماس for the purpose of اسداس : the object of your desire is not the pasturing of them, but it is only your families. (TA.) [See below, voce خُمُسٌ , a saying similar in words but different in meaning.] ― -b2- It is also used for سَيْرُ خِمْسٍ [A journey in which the camels are watered only on the first and fifth days; a journey in which the second and third and fourth days are without water]. (L in art. جلذ .) You say خِمسٌ بَصْبَاصٌ , [and صَبْصَابٌ ,] and قَعْقَاعٌ , and حَثْحَاثٌ , [and حَصْحَاصٌ , &c.,] i. e. A journey [in which the camels are watered only on the first and fifth days,] in the course of which, to the water, there is no flagging, by reason of its remoteness. (TA.) El-'Ajjáj uses the expression خِمْسٌ كَحَبْلِ الشَّعَرِ المُنْحَتِّ meaning, A [journey of the kind termed] خمس without any deviation, like a rope made of hair that has fallen off and that is free from any unevenness. (L, TA.) ― -b3- خِمْسٌ also signifies The fifth young one, or offspring. (A in art. ثلث .) -A2- A [garment of the kind called] بُرْد , (S, K,) of the fabric of El-Yemen; (S;) so called because first made for a king of El-Yemen named خِمْسٌ , (AA, S,) or الخِمْسُ ; (K, TA;) as also ↓ خَمِيسٌ . (TA.) For the latter word, we find in the work of Bkh, خَمِيص , with ص ; which, if correct, is masc. of خَمِيصَةٌ , which is a small kind of كِسَا=ء . (IAth, and L.) [The pl. of خِمْسٌ applied to a بُرْدَة is أَخْمَاسٌ .] See also مَخْمُوسٌ , in four places.

خُمُسٌ خمس and ↓ خُمْسٌ A fifth part; (Msb, K;) as also ↓ خَمِيسٌ , (S, in art. ثلث , and IAmb and Msb,) agreeably with a rule applicable in the case of every one of the units, except ثَلِيثٌ : (TA:) some allow this last; but AZ disallows it, and خميس also: (S in art. ثلث :) pl. أَخْمَاسٌ . (Msb, TA.) ― -b2- [Hence, app.,] ضَرَبَ أَخْمَاسَهُ فِى أَسْدَاسِهِ He turned his five senses towards his six relative points; [namely, above, below, before, behind, right, and left:] an allusion to the collecting all the thoughts to examine a thing, and turning the attention in all directions. (MF.)

خَمْسَةٌ خمس خمسه خمسة , (S, K,) masc.; and خَمْسٌ , fem.; (S;) [Five;] a certain number. (S, K.) You say خَمْسَةُ رِجَالٍ [Five men], and خَمْسُ نِسْوَةٍ [Five women]. (S.) You say also, عِنْدِى خَمْسَةُ دَرَاهِمْ [I have five dirhems], with refa: and if you please, you incorporate the ة into the د [and say, خَمْسَة دَّرَاهِمَ ]: but when you prefix ال to دراهم , you say, عِنْدِى خَمْسَةُ الدَّرَاهِمِ [I have the five dirhems], with damm; and may not incorporate, because you have incorporated the ل into the د : and in the case of a fem. n. you say, عِنْدِى خَمْسُ القُدُورِ [I have the five cooking-pots]: also, هٰذِهِ الخَمْسَةُ الدَّرَاهِمِ [These five dirhems]; and, if you please, الدَّرَاهِمُ , using it in the manner of an epithet: and in like manner [you use the other nouns of number] to عَشَرَةٌ [inclusive]. (S.) You say also, صُمْنَا خَمْسًا مِنَ الشَّهْرِ [We fasted during a period of five nights of the month with their days]; making لَيَالٍ to predominate over أَيَّام , when you do not mention the word ايّام , though the fasting is in the day; because the night of each day precedes the day: but when you mention the word ايّام , you say, صُمْنَا خَمْسَةَ أَيَّامٍ [We fasted five days]. (ISk, TA.) يَعَضُّ بِالخَمْسِ means He bites the fingers: these being [five in number and] of the fem gender: (Ham p. 790:) [i. e.] خَمْسٌ means the five fingers. (Har p. 76.) [Respecting a peculiar pronunciation of the people of El-Hijáz, and a case in which خَمْسَة is imperfectly decl., see ثَلَاثَةٌ .] ― -b2- [ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ , masc.; and خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ , fem.; Fifteen.

خَمْسُونَ خمسون [Fifty, and fiftieth,] is also written and pronounced خَمِسُونَ , with kesr to the خَمَسُونَ , by poetic license, as related by Ks; or م , with fet-h, as related by others, after the manner of خَمْسَةٌ and خَمَسَاتٌ : (Fr, TA:) accord. to the T, the variation خَمِسُونَ , with kesr to the م , is [dialectic, being] similar to خَمْسَ عَشِرَةَ , with kesr to the ش [in the dial. of Nejd]. (TA.)

جَاوءُوا خُمَاسَ , and ↓ مَخْمَسَ , They came five and five; [or five and five together; or five at a time and five at a time;] (K, TA;) like as they say, ثُنَا=ءَ and مَثْنَى , and رُبَاعَ and مَرْبَعَ : (TA:) or, accord. to A 'Obeyd, not more than أُحَادَ and ثُنَا=ءَ and ثُلَاثَ and رُبَاعَ has been heard, except عُشَارَ occurring in a verse of El-Kumeyt.

(TA.) ― -b4- يَوْمُ الخَمِيسِ , (S, Msb, K,) and simply الخَمِيسُ , Thursday; the fifth day of the week; thus used for الخَامِسُ , in like manner as الدَّبَرَانُ is applied to the star [that follows the Pleiades, for الدَّابِرُ ]: (TA:) pl.

AZ used to say, مَضَى الخَمِيسُ بِمَا فِيهِ [Thursday passed with what happened in it], making it sing. and masc.: but Abu-l-Jarráh used to say, مَضَىالخَمِيسُ بِمَ فِيهِنَّ , making it pl. and fem., and using it as a n. of number. (Lh, TA.) It has no dim. (Sb, S in art. امس .) -A2- See also خِمْسٌ , last signification. -A3- مَا أَدْرِى أَىُّ خَمِيسِ النَّاسِ هُوَ means I know not what company of men it is.

(Msb.) ― -b2- See also مَخْمُوسٌ . ― -b3- [Also A word composed of five letters, radical only, or radical and augmentative.]

خَمِيسِىٌّ خميس خميسى خميسي One who fasts alone on Thursday. (IAar, Th.)

خَامِسٌ خامس [Fifth]: for this you also say خَامٍ ; (ISk, S, K;) whence the phrase, جَا=يءَ فُلَانٌ خَامِيًا [Such a one came fifth], for خَامِسًا : (ISk, S:) [fem. with ة .] ― -b2- [ خَامِسَ عَشَرَ and خَامِسَة عَشْرَةَ , the former masc. and the latter fem., meaning Fifteenth, are subject to the same rules as ثَالِثَ عَشَرَ and its fem., explained in art. ثلث , q. v.] -A2- اـِبِلٌ خَامِسَةٌ (TA) and خَوَامِسُ (S, K) Camels that drink on the fifth day, counting the day of the next preceding drinking as the first: [see خِمْسٌ :] (TA:) or that pasture three days, coming to the water on the fourth day [not counting the day of the next preceding watering].
