قل قلب قلت


1. ⇒ قلب

قَلَبَهُ, (Ṣ, A, Mgh, O, Mṣb, Ḳ,) aor. ـِ {يَقْلِبُ}. (Mṣb, Ḳ.) inf. n. قَلْبٌ, (Mṣb,) He altered, or changed, its, or his, mode, or manner, of being; (A, Mgh, Mṣb,* Ḳ;) andقلّبهُ↓ signifies the same, (Ḳ,) or is like قَلَبَهُ in the sense expl. above and in other senses but denotes intensiveness and muchness; (Mṣb;) andاقلبهُ↓ also signifies the same as قَلَبَهُ in the sense expl. above, (Ḳ,) on the authority of Lḥ, but is of weak authority. (TA.) Hence, (Mgh,) He inverted it; turned it upside-down; turned it so as to make its upper most part its undermost; (Ṣ,* A,* Mgh, Mṣb;) namely, a thing; (Ṣ;) for instance, a [garment of the kind called] رِدَآء: (A,* Mgh:) andقلّبهُ↓ has a similar meaning, but [properly] denotes intensiveness and muchness. (Mṣb. See two exs. of the latter verb voce قَلَبَةٌ.) And, (A, Ḳ,) likeقلّبهُ↓, [except that the latter properly denotes intensiveness and muchness,] (Ḳ,) it signifies حَوَّلَهُ ظَهْرًا لِبَطْنٍ (A, Ḳ) [He turned it over, or upsidedown as meaning so that the upper side became the under side; lit. back for belly; accord. to the TA, meaning back upon belly (ظَهْرًا عَلَى بَطْنٍ); but this is hardly conceivable; whereas the former explanation is obviously right in another case: (see 5:) and another meaning of قَلَبَهُ andقُلبهُ↓, i. e. he turned it inside-out, is indicated in the TA by its being added, so that he knew what was in it].

Root: قلب - Entry: 1. Signification: A2

See an ex. voce قَلَابِ. One says, قَلَبَ كَلَامًا [meaning He altered, or changed, the order of the words of a sentence or the like, by inversion, or by any transposition]. (TA.) [And in like manner, قَلَبَ كَلِمَةً He altered, or changed, the order of the letters of a word, by inversion, or by any transposition.] Es-Sakháwee says, in the Expos. of the Mufassal, that when they transpose [the letters of a word], they do not assign to the [transformed] derivative an inf. n., lest it should be confounded with the original, using only the inf. n. of the original that it may be an evidence of the originality [of the application of the latter to denote the signification common to both]: thus they say يَئِسَ, inf. n. يَأْسٌ; and أَيِسَ isمَقْلُوبٌ↓ مِنْهُ [i. e. formed by transposition, or metathesis, from it], and has no inf. n.: when the two inf. ns. exist, the grammarians decide that each of the two verbs is [to be regarded as] an original, and that neither is مقلوب from the other, as in the case of جَذَبَ and جَبَذَ: but the lexicologists [in general] assert that all such are [of the class termed] مقلوب. (Mz, close of the 33rd نوع.) [And قَلَبَ likewise signifies He changed, or converted, a letter into another letter; the verb in this sense being doubly trans.: for ex., one says, قَلَبَ الوَاوَ يَآءً He changed, or converted, the و into ى.]

Root: قلب - Entry: 1. Signification: A3

And [hence] one says, قَلَبَهُ عَنْ وَجْهِهِHe turned him [from his manner, way, or course, of acting, or proceeding, &c.]: and Lḥ has mentioned اقلبهُ↓ [in the same sense], but as being disapproved. (TA.) And قَلَبَ الصِّبْيَانَHe (the teacher) turned away [or dismissed] the boys to their dwellings: (Th, A, TA:) or sent them [away], and returned them, to their abodes: and Lḥ has mentioned اقلبهم↓ as a dial. var. of weak authority, saying that the former verb is that which is used by the Arabs in this and other [similar] cases. (TA.) And قَلَبْتُ القَوْمَI turned away [or dismissed] the people, or party; (Th, Ṣ, O;) like as you say صَرَفْتُ الصِّبْيَانَ. (Th, Ṣ.) And قَلَبَ ٱللّٰهُ فُلَانًا إِلَيْهِ[God translated such a one unto Himself, by death: meaning God took his soul]; as alsoاقلبه↓; (Ḳ, TA;) whence the saying of Anooshirwán,أَقْلَبَكُمُ↓ ٱللّٰهُ مُقْلَبَ أَوْلِيَائِهِ[May God translate you with the translating of his favourites (مقلب being here an inf. n.), meaning, as He translates his favourites]. (TA.)

قَلَبَ, aor. ـِ {يَقْلِبُ}, inf. n. قَلْبٌ; andاقلب↓ likewise, but this is of weak authority, mentioned by Lḥ; signify also He turned over bread, and the like, when the upper part thereof was thoroughly baked, in order that the under side might become so. (TA.) And you say, قَلَبْتُ الإِنَآءَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ [I turned over the vessel upon its head]. (Mṣb, in explanation of كَبَبْتُ الإِنَآءَ.) And قَلَبْتُ الأَرْضَ لِلزِّرَاعَةِ [I turned over the earth for sowing]: andقَلَّبْتُهَا↓, [also, I did so much.] (Mṣb.) And يُقْلَبُ التُّرَابُ بِالحَفْرِ [The earth is turned over in digging]: whence قَلَبْتُ قَلِيبًا means I dug a well. (A.)

(Mṣb.) And قَلَبَ السِّلْعَةَHe (a trafficker) examined the commodity, and scrutinized its condition: andقَلَّبَهَا↓, also, he did so [much]. (A.) And قَلَبَ الدَّابَّةَ and الغُلَامَ[He examined,, &c., the beast, or horse, or the like, and the youth, or young man, or male slave]: (A:) and قَلَبَ المَمْلُوكَ, aor. ـِ {يَقْلِبُ}, inf. n. قَلْبٌ, ‡ he uncovered and examined the male slave, to look at [or to see] his defects, on the occasion of purchasing. (O, TA.) And قَلَبْتُ الأَمْرَ ظَهْرًا لِبَطْنٍI considered [or turned over in my mind] what might be the issues, or results, of the affair, or case: andقَلَّبْتُهُ↓, also, I did so much. (Mṣb.)

قَلْبٌ The heart; syn. فُؤَادٌ: (Lḥ, T, Ṣ, M, O, Mṣb, Ḳ, &c.:) or [accord. to some] it has a more special signification than the latter word: (O, Ḳ:) [for] some say that فؤاد signifies the “appendages of the مَرِىْء [or œsophagus], consisting of the liver and lungs and قَلْب [or heart]:” (Ḳ in art. فأد:) [and, agreeably with this assertion,] it is said that the قلب is a lump of flesh, pertaining to the فؤاد, suspended to the نِيَاط [q. v.]: Az says, I have observed that some of the Arabs call the whole flesh of the قلب, its fat, and its حِجَاب [or septum?], قَلْب and فُؤَاد; and I have not observed them to distinguish between the two [words]; but I do not deny that the [word] قلب may be [applied by some to] the black clot of blood in its interior: MF mentions that فؤاد is said to signify the “receptacle,” or “covering,” of the heart, (وِعَآءُ القَلْبِ, or غِشَاؤُهُ, [i. e. the pericardium,]) or, accord. to some, its “interior:” the قَلْب is said to be so called from its تَقَلُّب: [see 5:] the word is of the masc. gender: and the pl. is قُلُوبٌ. (TA.) بَنَاتُ القَلْبِ means † The several parts, or portions, [or, perhaps, appertenances,] of the heart. (TA in art. بنى.) [And قَلْبٌ is also used as meaning The stomach, which is often thus termed in the present day: so, for ex., in an explanation of طَنِخ, q. v.]

قَلْبُ العَقْرَبِ (also called simply, القَلْبُ, Ḳzw) is † A certain bright star, [the star a in Scorpio,] between two other stars, which is one of the Mansions of the Moon, (Ṣ, O,) namely, the Eighteenth Mansion; so called because it is in the heart of Scorpio: (MF:) [it rose aurorally, about the commencement of the era of the Flight, in Central Arabia, together with النَّسْرُ الوَقِعُ (a of Libra) on the 25th of November, O. Ṣ.: (see مَنَازِلُ القَمَرِ, in art. نزل:)] the commencement of the period when the cattle breed in the desert is at the time of its [auroral] rising and the [auroral] rising of النسر الواقع; these two stars rising together, in the cold season: the Arabs say, إِدَا ???عَ القَلْبْ جَآءَ الشِّتَآءُ كَٱلْكَلْبْ [When the heart of the Scorpion rises, the winter comes like the dog]: and they regard its نَوْء [q. v.] as unlucky; and dislike journeying when the moon is in Scorpio: at its نَوْء [meaning auroral rising], the cold becomes vehement, cold winds blow, and the sap becomes stagnant in the trees: its رَقِيب is الدَّبَرَانُ [q. v.] (Ḳzw.) There are also three similar appellations of other stars: these are قَلْبُ الأَسَدِ[Cor Leonis, or Regulus, the star a of Leo]: قَلْبُ الثَّوْرِ, an [improper] appellation of الدَّبَرَانُ: and قَلْبُ الحُوتِ, a name of الرِّشَآءُ [q. v.]. (TA.)

And † The mind, meaning the intellect, or intelligence. (Fr, Ṣ, O, Mṣb, Ḳ.) So in the Ḳur l. 36: (Fr, Ṣ, O, TA:) or it means there endeavour to understand, and consideration. (TA.) Accord. to Fr, you may say, مَا لَكَ قَلْبٌThou hast no intellect, or intelligence: (TA:) and مَا قَلْبُكَ مَعَكَThine intellect is not present with thee: (O, TA:) and أَيْنَ ذَهَبَ قَلْبُكَWhither has thine intellect gone?
