[IbrD thinks that it signifies also † He vied, or contended, with him for precedence, or priority.]

Also † The exacting a fine or the like [app. from another: or the suing, or prosecuting, another, for a debt, &c.]. (KL.)

As though he were, after they had outreached with their chests, from a row of [other] horses, [a wolf that had exposed himself to rain during a portion of the night, and had become wetted:] but accord. to one relation, it is صُدِّرْنَ↓, meaning their breasts were wetted [مِنْ عَرَقٍ] by reason of sweat: the former reading, however is the better. (Ṣ.)

Also † He sat, or became placed or seated, in the upper, or highest, part in the sitting-room, or sitting-place. (Ṣ,* Ḳ,* TA.) And He became advanced, or promoted.

[And thou becomest, or wilt become, red by reason of the saying that I have published, like as the fore part of the spear becomes red from blood], (Ṣ,* M,) he has made صدر fem. because the صدر of the قناة is a part of the قناة; for they [sometimes] make a noun fem. when it is prefixed to a fem. noun: (Ṣ:) or if you will, you may say that he has made صدر fem. because he meant [thereby] the قناة; and if you will, you may say that the صدر of a قناة is a قناة.

(Mgh.) [صَدْرُ الدَّجَاجَةِ, as said by Freytag, is the name of † The star γ of Cygnus.]

Also † The upper, or uppermost, part of the front of anything. (M, Ḳ.) [Hence,] صُدُورُ الوَادِى † The higher, or upper, parts, and fronts, or fore parts, of the valley; (M, Ḳ;) as also صَدَائِرُهُ, which is pl. ofصَدَارَةٌ↓, (Ḳ,) orصِدَارَةٌ↓, (as in a copy of the M,) orصَادِرَةٌ↓, (as in the L,) or of صَدِيرَةٌ↓. (M, L, Ḳ.) And صَدْرُ المَجْلِسِ † The upper, or highest, part [or end] of the sitting-room, or sitting-place: (TA:) the elevated part thereof. (Mṣb.)

(M.) يَوْمٌ كَصَدْرِ الرُّمْحِ [lit. † A day like the fore part of the spear] means † a day of straitness and distress: accord. to Th, it is a day by which war, or battle, is peculiarly distinguished. (M, L.)

† The first, first part, or commencement, of anything; (Ṣ, M, Ḳ;) even † of the day, (M, Mṣb,) and † of the night, and † of the winter, and † of the summer, and † the like, (M,) and ‡ of an affair.

الأَصْدَرَانِ Two veins (M, Ḳ) that beat, or pulse, (M,) beneath the temples: (M, Ḳ:) or the two sides of a man: or the two shoulder-joints: (TA:) the word has no singular. (M.) [Hence the saying,] جَآءَ يَضْرِبُ أَصْدَرَيْهِ; (M, Meyd, Ḳ, TA;) and some say أَسْدَرَيْهِ [q. v.], (Meyd, TA,) and this is the original; (Meyd;) and some, أَزْدَرَيْهِ; (Meyd, TA;) a prov.; (M, Meyd, TA;) meaning He came beating [with his hand] his two sides, (TA,) or his two shoulderjoints: (Meyd, TA:) i. e. he came empty [-handed]; (M, Meyd, Ḳ,* TA;) not having accomplished the object of his desire: (Meyd:) or he came exulting, or behaving insolently, (Meyd, and Ḥar p. 603,) not knowing where were his أَصْدَرَانِ: so accord. to Yoo: and some say, جَآءَ بَضْرِبُ بِأَصْدَرَيْهِ.

(M.)

مَصْدَرٌ A place of returning or going back, (Ṣ, TA,) or of going, or turning, away [from water, and from a country or place, and † from an affair or thing]. (TA. [See 1, first sentence.])

[Hence, مَصْدَرُ أَمْرٍ ‡ The way of return from, or of completing, a thing or an affair: opposed to مَوْرِدُهُ.] One says, هُوَ يَعْرِفُ مَوَارِدَ الأُمُورِ وَمَصَادِرَهَا ‡ [He knows the ways of betaking himself to things or affairs, and the ways of withdrawing himself from them; or of commencing them and of completing them]. (A.) [See also another ex. in art. رحب, conj. 6.]

And hence [also], the مَصَادِر [pl. of مَصْدَر] of verbs: (Ṣ, TA:) مَصْدَرٌ signifies † The root of a word, from which proceed the derivatives of verbs: (Lth, TA:) [in this sense it is a conventional term of grammar and lexicology, not belonging to the classical language; but on account of the importance of understanding its true application in lexicology, it is necessary to give here a full explanation of it: it is, agreeably with its etymology, the source (lit. place) of derivation, accord. to the grammarians of El-Basrah; and is what I term an infinitive noun: it is defined as] a noun signifying, by its original application, an accident as subsisting in, or proceeding from, an agent (as الفَرَحُ [“the being joyful”], الضَّرْبُ [“the act of beating”], and القُعُودُ [“the act of sitting”]), or affecting an object of action, (as الجُنُونُ [“the being possessed by a jinnee”]), conformable to its verb, so as to comprise all the letters in that verb, either literally (as in the instances above) or virtually (as in القِتَالُ [“the act of fighting”], which wants the ا that is before the ت in the verb, yet wants it as to the letter only, and not virtually, wherefore it is sometimes pronounced as if with the said letter, as in قَاتَلَ قِيتَالًا, but the ا is changed into ى on account of the kesr of the letter before it), or substituting another letter for any of those letters that it wants (as in العِدَةُ [“the act of promising”], which wants the و that is in its verb as to the letter and virtually, but has ة substituted for it [by way of compensation]): (from a comparison of definitions, &c. in the Expos. of the “Kitab Hodood en-Nahw” by the author of the work thus entitled, arts. مصدر and اسم مصدر; the Expos. of the “Shudhoor edh-Dhahab” by the author of the work thus entitled, section on the nouns that govern as verbs; I’Aḳ;, &c.:) but the grammarians of El-Koofeh hold that the verb is the root, and that the مصدر is derived from it: (I’Aḳ p. 148:) some مصادر, moreover, are derived from real (as opposed to ideal) substantives, as التَّحَجُّرُ [“the becoming stone”] from الحَجَرُ [“stone”]. (Kull p. 327.) The مصدر has the same government as its own verb: it is often, and may be at pleasure, used as an ideal subst. or abstract noun: and it is often employed in the place of an act. or a pass. part. n.: (Kull, &c.:) [when thus used as an epithet, it is employed alike as sing. and pl. and masc. and fem.:] accord. to Zj, every مصدر used as an epithet is for ذُو [or ذَات, &c.] followed by the مصدر, and therefore it has no dual nor pl. [nor fem.] form. (TA voce حَرَضٌ.) [It has also other uses, which are expl. in the grammars. Used as a مَصْدَر, it is sometimes made fem.; as it is also when used in the sense of a noun that is properly fem.: see صَرْفٌ, third sentence.]

إِسْمُ مَصْدَرٍ, called by some اِسْمٌ لِلْمَصْدَرِ, is a term applied to [† A quasi-infinitive noun; i. e.] a noun which is not a مصدر, but which is occasionally used in the place of a مصدر; like as a مصدر is used in the place of an act. part. n., and in that of a pass. part. n.: such as الوُضُوْءُ for التَّوَضُّؤُ [“the performing of the ablution preparatory to prayer”], and الغُسْلُ for الاِغْتِسَالُ [“the washing of oneself”]; each of which wants somewhat that is in its verb without substituting anything for that which is wanting. (Expos. of the “Kitáb el- Hodood,” cited above.) This kind of noun the grammarians of El-Koofeh and Baghdád allow to govern as a مصدر; but the grammarians of El-Basrah hold that the noun governed in the accus. case in each of the exs. adduced by the former as confirmatory of their opinion is so governed by a verb understood. (Expos. of the “Shudhoor,” ubi suprà.) It is also applied to A proper name signifying an accident [or attribute]; as فَجَارِ and حَمَادِ, proper names, by original application, for الفَجْرَةُ and المَحْمَدَةُ [“vice” and “praise”] and the like: and this kind does not govern as a مصدر. (Expos. of the “Kitáb Hodood en-Nahw,” ubi suprà; and Expos. of the “Shudhoor,” ubi suprà.) It is also applied to [what is more properly termed اِسْمٌ لِلْمَعْنَى الحَاصِلِ بِالمَصْدَرِ, by some termed simply حَاصِلٌ بِالمَصْدَرِ, i. e. An ideal substantive, or abstract noun;] a noun applied to signify an accident [or attribute] considered abstractedly [such as صَدَرٌ signifying “return;” and this kind is commonly termed in the lexicons simply an اِسْم as distinguished from a مصدر]. (Kull p. 327.) Some apply it also to what is [properly] termed مَصْدَرٌ مِيمِىٌّ [i. e. A مصدر commencing with an augmentative م], if not of the measure مُفَاعَلَةٌ: but such is really a مَصْدَر. (Expos. of the “Shudhoor,” ubi suprà.) And some of the grammarians [and of the lexicographers likewise] apply it to A noun that signifies the instrument [or means] with [or by] which the action signified by a مصدر is performed: as الأُكْلُ [“food,” as being “that by means of which the act of eating (الأَكْلُ) is performed”]. (Kull, ubi suprà.)
