أَرْجَسَ see 1.

ارتجس : see 1, in two places. ― -b2- Also It (a building) became in a state of commotion, (K, TA,) so as to make a sound, or noise. (TA.)

رِجْسٌ Uncleanness, dirt, or filth: or an unclean, a dirty, or a filthy, thing: syn. قَذَرٌ : (S, A, Msb, K, TA: [in the CK, القَدَرُ is put by mistake for القَذَرٌ :]) or شَىْءٌ قَذِرٌ : (TA:) anything that is disliked, or hated, for its uncleanness, dirtiness, or filthiness: stink, or foul odour: accord. to Az, filth that comes forth from the body of a man: En-Nakkásh says that it is syn. with نِجْسٌ ; and it is said in the Bári' that sometimes they say الرَّجَاسَةُ وَالنَّجَاسَةُ , meaning that they make these two words syn.: (Msb:) it is also written ↓ رَجِسٌ and ↓ رَجَسٌ : (A, K:) you say رِجْسٌ نِجْسٌ , and رَجِسٌ نَجِسٌ ; and IDrd says, I think that they also said رَجَسٌ نَجَسٌ : Pr says that when رجس is followed by نجس , the ج is with kesr; but when نجس is mentioned without رجس , the ج and ن are with fet-h. (TA.) You say also شَىْءٌ رِجْسٌ [An unclean, a dirty, or a filthy, thing]. (A.) And ↓ مَرَّبِنَا جَمَاعَةٌ رَجِسُونَ نَجِسُونَ , meaning, A company of unbelievers passed by us. (IAar and TA.) As used in the Kur vi. 125, Mujáhid explains الرِّجْس as meaning That in which is no good. (TA.) ― -b2- Any action that is disliked, or hated, for its uncleanness, dirtiness, or filthiness: (Zj, A, K:) a sin, or crime: (Ibn-El-Kelbee, A, K:) so in the Kur v. 92, and vi. 146: (Ibn-El-Kelbee:) an action that leads to punishment: (T, A, K:) as رَجْسٌ signifies “ vehemence of sound, ” [see 1,] رِجْسٌ seems to mean an action the mention whereof is evil, and highly evil: (TA:) sometimes it signifies a thing that is unlawful, or forbidden: and unbelief: infidelity: (L:) and doubt: (Aboo-Jaafar, A, K:) so in the Kur xxxiii. 33. (Aboo-Jaafar.) ― -b3- (assumed tropical:) Punishment; (Fr, T, S, A, K;) a sense which Z makes tropical, as being the recompense of رِجْس [in the sense of “ sin ”], (TA;) and anger: (Fr, S, A, K:) so in the Kur x. 100: like رِجْزٌ , which is perhaps formed from it by the change of س into ز : (Fr, S:) and sometimes, malediction, or execration. (L.) -A2- A light, or slight, motion. (TA.) -A3- Suggestion of the devil. (TA.)

You say, [of a cloud,] هٰذَا رَاجِسٌ حَسَنٌ This is a goodly thunderer. (S.) And عَفَتِ الدِّيَارَ الغَمَايءِمُ الرَّوَاجِسُ وَالرِّيَاحُ الرَّوَامِسُ [The loudthundering clouds and the dust-spreading winds effaced the traces of the dwellings]. (A.) ― -b2- [And in like manner,] ↓ رَجَّاسٌ (S, K) and ↓ رَجُوسٌ and ↓ مِرْجَسٌ (K) A camel that brays vehemently. (S, K, * TA.) You say also الحَنِينِ ↓ نَاقَةٌ رَجْسَا=ءُ , [fem. of ↓ أَرْجَسُ ,] A she-camel that utters the [yearning cry termed] حَنِين consecutively, or continuously. (IAar, TA.) ― -b3- [And hence,] ↓ الرَجَّاسُ The sea: (K:) because of the sound of its waves; or because of its commotion. (TA.) -A2- رَاجِسٌ also signifies The thrower of the مِرْجَاس ; (K;) and so ↓ مُرْجِسٌ . (TA.)

مِرْجَاسٌ A stone which is tied to the end of a rope, and which is then let down into a well, and stirs up its black mud, after which the water is drawn forth, and thus the well is cleansed: (S, K: *) or a stone which is thrown into a well in order that one may know, by the sound thereof, its depth; or that one may know whether there be in it water or not: (IAar, K:) or, accord. to ISd, the name by which this is known is مِرْدَاسٌ . (TA.)

اـِنَّهُ لَرِجْسٌ مَرْجُوسٌ and رجل مَرْجُوسٌ [are phrases mentioned, but not explained, in the TA: but I think that رجل is a mistranscription for رِجْزٌ ; and that مرجوس , in each case, is a corroborative].

هُمْ فِى مَرْجُوسَةٍ , (S, A, K,) and ↓ فى مَرْجُوسَا=ءَ , (TA,) They are in a state of confusion (S, A, K) and perturbation, (A,) مِنْ أَمْرِهِمْ in respect of their affair, or case. (S, TA.)

مَرْجُوسَا=ءُ : see what next precedes.

(TA in art. نرجس .) If you name a man نَرْجِس , you make it imperfectly decl., because it is like نَضْرِبُ : (S:) but if you name him نِرْجِس , it is perfectly decl., because it is of the measure فِعْلِلٌ (TA) [or نِفْعِلٌ , neither of which is the measure of a verb]. ― -b2- نَرْجِسُ المَايءِدَةِ : see زُمَاوَرْدٌ .
