فَغِىَ, aor. يَفْغَى, inf. n. فَغًا, said of dates (تَمْر), i. q. حشف, [app. a mistranscription, unless there be such as حَشِفَ, which seems to be not improbable, as one says تَمْرٌ حَشِفَ, and حَشَفٌ also; but it can hardly be doubted that the meaning is, They became bad, such as are termed حَشِفٌ or حَشَفٌ, or, which is nearly the same, such as are termed فَغًا]: so says Aboo-ʼAlee El-Ḳálee. (TA.)

And, said of a man, He kept constantly to the eating of فَغًا, (Ḳ, TA.) i. e. unripe dates in an altered state. (TA.)

And افغى فُلَانًا He angered such a one. (Ḳ, TA.) One says, مَاالَّذِى أَفْغَاكَ [What is it that angered thee? or, hath angered thee?]. (TA.)

فَغًا [or فَغًى] i. q. غَفًا [or غَفًى] in its several meanings (Ḳ, TA) that have been mentioned [in art. غفو and غفى]: and among these it has that of The bad of anything. (TA.) And The [refuse termed] حُثَالَة [q. v.] of wheat. (TA.) And A dust that comes upon unripe dates, spoiling them, and rendering them [in the skin] like the wings of the [locusts, or the like, called] جَنَادِب [pl. of جُنْدَب]. (TA.)

And accord. to the Ḳ, الفَغَا signifies العلبة والجفنةوَمَيَلٌ فِى الفَمِ; but this is a mistake; correctly it signifies مَيَلٌ فِى الفَمِ وَالعُلْبَةِ وَالجَفْنَةِ, meaning فِى العُلْبَةِ وَالجَفْنَةِ [i. e. A distortion in the mouth, and in the kinds of bowl called عُلْبَة and جَفْنَة], as expl. by ISd: Kr says that it signifies a certain malady, which ISd thinks to be a distortion in the mouth, an explanation given by IAạr.

(Ḳ.)
