يرم يرنأ يزن


Q. 1. ⇒ يرنأ

يَرْنَأَ لِحْيَتَهُ (Ḳ, TA; in the CK, [erroneously,] تَرَنَّأَ;) He dyed his beard with يرنّأ. (Ḳ.) A strange verb as to its form, (Ḳ,) which [except in its final vowel] is that of an aorist, though it is a preterite. (TA.) Mentioned in the L in art. رنأ (q. v.), on the authority of IJ; and there also by ISd; and AḤei and others assert the ى to be augmentative. [If so, the verb is a quasi-quadriliteral-radical word.] F follows Ṣgh, in mentioning it here. (TA.)


يُرَنَّأٌ

يُرَنَّأٌ (Ṣ, Ḳ) and يَرَنَّأٌ and يُرَنَّآءٌ (Ḳ) and يُرَنَّا (without ء) and (accord. to [the Bári', as mentioned in] the TA, art. رنأ,) يَرْنَأٌ and يُرْنَأٌ and (accord. to MF, who omits the two forms here immediately preceding,) يَرَنَّاءٌ and يَرَنَّا, without ء, (TA,) i. q. حِنَّاءٌ (Ṣ, Ḳ) [The plant Lawsonia inermis]. See also art. رنأ, where the word is written [erroneously in my opinion] يَرُنَّأٌ. Accord. to IB (not IJ [as in the CK]), the may only be omitted when the word is pronounced with ḍammeh to the ى. (TA.)
