خَرَصَ النَّخْلَ خرص النخل , (S, A, Mgh, Msb,) aor. خَرُصَ (A, Msb) [and خَرِصَ , as appears from what follows,] inf. n. خَرْصٌ , (S, A Mgh, Msb,) [and خِرْصٌ is also allowable, (see what follows,)] He computed by conjecture the quantity of the fruit upon the palm-trees: (A, Mgh, Msb:) or he computed by conjecture the quantity that was upon the palmtrees of fresh ripe dates that would be dried dates. (S.) خَرْصٌ signifies The computing quantity by conjecture; (A, K, TA;) conjecturing; opining: or forming an opinion of a thing of which one is not certain: you say, خَرَصَ العَدَدَ , aor. خَرُصَ and خَرِصَ , inf. n. خَرْصٌ and خِرْصٌ , the latter said by ISh to be like عِلْمٌ as inf. n. of عَلِمَ , and said by Az to be allowable because a simple subst. is put in the place of an inf. n., He computed by conjecture the number: and hence خَرْصُ النَّخْلِ , and التَّمْرِ , [the computing by conjecture the quantity of fruit upon palm-trees, and of dates,] because خَرْصٌ is the computing quantity by opinion, not by knowledge. (TA.) ― -b2- خَرْصٌ also signifies Any speaking by opinion, or conjecture. (K, * TA.) You say, خَرَصَ فِيهِ He spoke of him, or it, by opinion, or conjecture. (TK.) ― -b3- And hence, (TA,) خَرَصَ , (S, Msb, K,) aor. خَرُصَ , (S,) inf. n. خَرْصٌ , (S, Msb, K,) (tropical:) He lied; spoke falsely; said what was untrue; (S, Msb, K; *) as also ↓ تخرّص . (S.) You say also, عَلَيْهِ ↓ (tropical:) تخرّص (tropical:) He forged a lie against him. (A, K, TA.) And ↓ قَالَ ذٰلِكَ تَخَرُّصًا (tropical:) [He said that forging a lie]. (A.) And ↓ اخترص القَوْلَ , (A, K, *) and ↓ تخرِّصهُ , (A,) (tropical:) He forged the saying. (A, K. *) -A2- خَرِصَ , (S, K,) aor. خَرَصَ , (K,) inf. n. خَرَصٌ , (S, A,) He (a man) was hungry and cold: (S, A: *) or hungry in cold. (K.) Being hungry without being cold is not termed خَرَصٌ : but being cold without being hungry is termed خَصَرٌ . (S.)
