أَصَابَهَ لفْحٌ مِنْ حَرُورٍ وَسَمُومٍ A burning gust of hot night-wind, and of hot day-wind, smote him. (L.) ― -b2- أَصَابَهُ مِنَ الحَرِّ لَفْحٌ وَمِنَ البَرْدِ نَفْحٌ [A blast of heat smote him, and a blast of cold]. (A.) ― -b3- You say also لَوَافِحُ السَّمُوِم [pl. of ↓ لَافِحَةٌ , and meaning Burning blasts of the سموم ]. (S, K in art. سفع .)

لَفْحَةٌ A light, or slight, blow with a sword. (S.)

لُقَّاحٌ A certain well known plant, (K,) of the kind termed يَقْطِينِىٌّ , (L,) which people smell, (S.) yellow, and of sweet odour, (A, L,) resembling the بَاذِنْجَان (S, A, K,) when it becomes yellow; (S, A;) [accord. to Golius, app. on the authority of Ibn-Beytár, the same which the Syrians and Egyptians call شَمَّامٌ , q. v.]. ― -b2- Also, The fruit, or produce, ( ثَمَرَة ,) of the يَبْرُوح [or mandrake, which is called by this name ( يبروح ) in the present day]; (K;) thus correctly written, with the ى before the ب [not ببروح , as in the CK and some MS. copies]. (TA.) [It seems that the application of the term لفّاح to both the mandrake and the شمّام has led to confusion, and occasioned Linnæus to call the latter “ cucumis dudaim. ” See also يَبْرُوحٌ , and مَغْدٌ .]
