الخِشَاشُ, andالخَشَاشُ↓, (Ṣ, Ḳ,) the latter form being sometimes used, (Ṣ,) which indicates that the former is the more chaste, but, accord. to MF, several authorities say the contrary, (TA,) andالخُشَاشُ↓, (Ḳ,) orخَشَاشُ↓ الأَرْضِ, (AʼObeyd, Mṣb,) and خِشَاشُ الأَرْضِ, (Mṣb,) The creeping things of the earth: n. un. with ة {خِشَاشَةٌ}, which is syn. with الحَشَرَةُ and الهَامَّةُ: (Mṣb:) the حَشَرَات (A' Obeyd, Ṣ, Ḳ) of the earth, (A' Obeyd, Ḳ,) and its هَوَامّ, and [other] creeping things, (AʼObeyd,) such as sparrows and the like: (AʼObeyd, Ḳ:*) or خِشَاشُ الأَرْضِ, and الطَّيْرِ, signify the small ones of beasts or creeping things [of the earth], and of birds: (A:) IAạr is related to have said that it is خِشْخَاشٌ↓, contr. to what is said by the lexicologists in general: and these things are said to have their appellation from their entering into the earth and concealing themselves; but this assertion is not valid: (ISd:) in a trad., for من خشاش الارض, one relation substitutes مِنْ خَشِيشِهَا↓, which has the same meaning: and some say that it is خُشَيْش↓, a contracted dim. of خشاش; orخُشَيِّش↓, without contraction: (TA:) andالخَشَاشُ↓ signifies the bad [meaning ignoble] kinds of birds; this being with fet-ḥ only: (Aṣ:) or birds that do not prey: (IAạr, TA voce عُقَابٌ:) خِشَاشٌ, with kesr, also signifies the serpent of the mountain; which does not suffer one to survive; and the أَفْعَى is the serpent of the plain; (El-Fak'asee, Ḳ;) which like wise does not suffer one to survive: (Ḳ:) or a great and abominable ثُعْبَان: or a serpent like the أَرْقَم, but smaller: or a small, tawny serpent, smaller than the ارقم: (TA:) or a white serpent, which seldom hurts, between the حُفَّاث and the ارقم: (Aboo-Kheyreh:) or such as is light, or active, and small in the head, of serpents: explained also as signifying the serpent, without restriction: (TA:) and, (Ḳ,) or as some say, (TA,) such as has no power of defence, [مَا لَا دِفَاعَ لَهُ, as in the CK and a MṢ copy of the Ḳ, for which we find in some copies of the Ḳ, and in the TA, ما لا دِمَاغَ لَهُ such as has no brains, which is doubtless a mistake,] of beasts or creeping things of the earth, and of birds, (Ḳ,) such as the ostrich, and the [bustard called] حُبَارَى, and the كَرَوَان [or stonecurlew], and [the bird called] مُلَاعِبُ ظِلِّهِ, and the [harmless kinds of] serpent: (TA:) or what is small in the head, and slender, of beasts or creeping things: and the kite; and [the bird called] مُلَاعِبُ ظِلِّهِ: (Aboo-Muslim:) the pl. is خشّآء [app. خُشَّآءُ, originally خُشَشَآءُ, unless a mistake for أَخِشَّآءُ, originally أَخْشِشَآءُ].

خُشَّآءٌ

خُشَّآءٌ The bone which is protuberant behind the ear, (Ṣ, Mṣb, Ḳ,) and which is thin, and bare of hair: (TA:) originally خُشَشَآءُ, (Ṣ, Mṣb, Ḳ,) of the measure فُعَلَآءُ; (Ṣ;) [but masc., and perfectly decl., as being quasi-coordinate to قُرْطَاسٌ, whereas the original is fem., and imperfectly decl.; (see قُوَبَآءُ;)] like قُوْبَآءٌ, which is originally قُوَبَآءُ; (Ṣ, Mṣb;) and these two words are the only instances of their kind: (ISk, Mṣb:) dual خُشَشَاوَان. (Ṣ, Ḳ.)


خَشْخَشَةٌ

خَشْخَشَةٌ The [clashing, clattering, chinking, jingling, rattling, or rustling,] sound of arms, or weapons, (Ṣ, A,* Ḳ,) and the like; (Ṣ;) as also شَخْشَخَةٌ, but this latter is a dial. var. of weak authority: (TA:) and of any dry or hard thing rubbing against another such thing: (Ḳ:) accord. to IDrd, such [sound or thing (for his words are ambiguous)] is termed خَشْخَاشٌ↓: (TA:) and the [rustling] sound of a new garment or piece of cloth, when it is put in motion; as also نَشْنَشَةٌ: (IAạr:) and [a confused sound] such as is heard to proceed from the inside of an animal on its being hit by an arrow: (JK in art. خشف:) and a motion having a sound like the sound of arms, or weapons; (TA;) or an audible motion.

Also A certain plant, (Ṣ, Mṣb,) well known; (Ṣ, Mṣb, Ḳ;) [namely, the poppy;] which is of several species; (Ḳ;) i. e., four; (TA;) يُسْتَانِىٌّ [or garden-poppy,] (Ḳ,) which is the white, and this is the most fit for eating, and the best thereof is the fresh and heavy; (TA;) and مَنْثُورٌ, (Ḳ,) which is the wild Egyptian; (TA;) and مُقَرَّنٌ, [app. the horned poppy,] (Ḳ,) the produce of which has an elongated extremity like the horn of the bull; (TA;) and زُبْدِىٌّ, [app. the spattling poppy,] (Ḳ,) which is known by the name of بلبس [a word which I have not been able to find elsewhere]: (TA:) every one of these is soporiferous, and produces torpidness, and cools: (Ḳ:) used as a suppository, it produces sleep: and the integument [of the capsule] has a stronger power of producing sleep than the seeds: (TA:) [or rather the seeds have no narcotic power:] from half a drachm of the integument, with cold water, as a draught, taken early in the morning, and the like at sleep, has a wonderful effect in stopping a looseness characterized by a mixture of humours and by blood, when accompanied by heat and inflammation: (Ḳ:) it is wonderful also that its solid part confines, and its juice relaxes: and when the root, or lower part, is taken with water, [and boiled] so that the water is reduced to half its quantity, it is beneficial as a remedy for diseases of the liver arising from thick humour: so says the author of the Minháj: (TA:) the n. un. is with ة {خَشْخَاشَةٌ}: (Mṣb:) and the pl. is خَشَاخِشُ [app. a mistake for خَشَاخِيشُ].
