From Edward William Lane, An Arabic-English Lexicon (1863–1893), under the root وقف. Digitised by the Perseus Project (Tufts); Arabic decoded from Perseus's transliteration.

وَقَفَ He was, or became, still, or stationary; (Msb;) [he stood still;] he continued standing: (K:) and [simply] he stood; contr. of جَلَسَ . (TA.) ― -b2- وَقَفَ الدَّابَّةَ , inf. n. وَقْفٌ , He made the beast to be, or become, still, or motionless. (Msb.) ― -b3- وَقَفَ عَلَيْهِ He stopped, or paused, upon coming to him, or it; he stopped, or paused, at it; or where he, or it, was. ― -b4- وَقَفَ عَلَى شَىْءٍ He paused at, and paid attention to, a thing. ― -b5- وَقَفَ عَلَيْهِ He comprehended it, namely, a meaning: he understood it. (TA. [Or, correctly, وُقِفَ , for it is there altered.]) ― -b6- He met with it; namely, a word or the like, in reading: often occurring in this sense. ― -b7- وُقِفَ عَلَيْهِ He saw it: and he was introduced into it, and knew what was in it. (TA.) He was made to know it surely. See Bd, vi. 27 and 30. ― -b8- وَقَفْتُهُ على ذَنْبِهِ I made him acquainted with, or made him to know, his crime, sin, fault, or the like; (S, K:) and so عَلَيْهِ ↓ أَوْقَفَهُ , q. v. (Mgh.) ― -b9- وَقَفَ , aor. وَقِفَ , inf. n. وُقُوفٌ , He withstood, resisted: governing by عَنْ . ― -b10- وَقَفَهُ and ↓ أَوْقَفَهُ and ↓ وَقَّفَهُ [He bequeathed it, or gave it, unalienably:] the first of these is the most chaste: the last is disapproved and rare. (TA, art. حبس .) See مُوءَبَّدٌ .

وَقَّفَهُ عَلَى الأَمْرِ [He made him to pause, or wait, at the thing, or affair]. (K, TA, in art. ثبط .) See the quasi-pass. تَوَقَّفَ : and see ثَبَّطَهُ . ― -b2- وَقَّفَهُ , inf. n. تَوْقِيفٌ He taught him the places of pausing, in reading. (Mgh.) And hence, He made him to know a thing. (Mgh.) ― -b3- وَقَّفَهُ عَلَى الشَّىْءِ , meaning عَرَّفَهُ اـِيَّاهُ , He made him acquainted with the thing; informed him of it; gave him notice of it; though often occurring, for وَقَفَهُ عَلَيْهِ , seems to be post-classical. It is used in this sense, or as meaning He (God) revealed to him the thing, in many places in the Mz, 1st نوع : as, for ex, in the following instance, cited from IF, وَقَّفَ ا@للّٰهُ ا=دَمَ عَلَى مَا شَا=ءَ أَنْ يُعَلِّمَهُ اـِيَّاهُ [God taught, or revealed to, Adam what He pleased to teach him]. ― -b4- وَقَّفَ الحَدِيثَ , (JK,) inf. n. تَوْقِيفٌ , (K,) He explained the tradition; syn. بَيَّنَهُ .

أَوْقَفَ see 1. ― -b2- أَوْقَفَهُ عَلَى شَىْءٍ He acquainted him with a thing. ― -b3- اوقفته عَلَى ذَنْبِهِ : see وَقَفْتُهُ , which is the expression commonly known.

تَوَقَّفَ عَلَى الشَّىْءِ (tropical:) He paused, or waited, at the thing; syn. تَلَبَّثَ . (IDrd, K, TA.) (Accord. to some copies of the K, تَثَبَّتَ .] You say, تَوَقَّفْتُ عَلَى هٰذَا الأَمْرِ (tropical:) I paused, or waited, at this thing, or affair. (TA.) And تَوَقَّفَ عَلَى جَوَابِ كَلَامِهِ (tropical:) [He paused, or waited, at the reply to his speech]. (TA.) And hence, تَوَقَّفَ عَلَى السَّمَاعِ He limited, or restricted, himself to what had been heard [from the Arabs, with respect to a construction, &c.]; did not transgress it, or overstep it. See مُتَوَقَّفٌ . ― -b2- تَوَقَّفَ فِيهِ (assumed tropical:) He paused upon it; he hesitated, or deliberated, respecting it. Of very frequent occurrence. ― -b3- تَوَقَّفَ عَنِ الأَمْرِ (assumed tropical:) He held, refrained, or abstained, from the thing, or affair. (Msb.) ― -b4- تَوَقَّفَ عَلَى كَذَا It (for instance, an opinion or a judgment, and the truth of an evidence or a demonstration, and the result of an inquiry or investigation) rested, was founded or grounded, depended, or was dependent, upon such a thing. You say, of knowledge, يَتَوَقَّفُ حُصُولُهُ عَلَى كَذَا Its origination rests upon such a thing; as, for instance, speculation.

وَقْفٌ An entailed, or unalienable, legacy or gift; a mortmain. See أَرْقَبَ . ― -b2- الوُقُوفُ بِعَرَفَات The halting of the pilgrims at Mount 'Arafát.

أَنَا مُتَوَقّفٌ فى هٰذَا [I am pausing, or hesitating, respecting this;] I do not form, or give, a decided opinion ( لَا أُمْضِى رَأْيًا ) respecting this. (TA.)
