see 1, in six places; from قَضَّ السَّوِيقَ to the end of the paragraph.

اقضّ ٱللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ المَضْجَعَ God rendered the bed, or the place where he lay upon his side, rough to him, and dusty: thus the verb is trans. as well as intrans. (Ṣ, Ḳ.*) And اقضّ الشَّىْءَ He left the thing [consisting of, or overspread with,] small pebbles. (Ḳ,* TA.)

انقضّ It (a thing) broke, or became broken. (Mṣb.)

(M, TA.)

It became cut in pieces. (TA.)

(TA.) You say, انقضّ البَازِى عَلَى الصَّيْدِ The hawk [made a stoop, or] flew down swiftly upon the prey, or quarry. (TA.)

اقتضّها ‡ He devirginated her; (Ṣ, M, A, Mgh, Mṣb, Ḳ;) namely a girl, (Ṣ, A, Mgh,) or a woman; (M;) or either, i. e. before and after puberty; whereas ابتكرها and ابتسرها and اختضرها are only used as meaning before puberty: (Mṣb:) and افتضّها, with ف, signifies the same as اقتضّها. (TA.)
