غ • ض • ن

, (S, K,) aor. غَضِنَ and غَضُنَ , (K,) inf. n. غَضْنٌ, (S,) He, or it, (a man, and a thing, S,) withheld, restrained, hindered, or diverted, him. (S, K.) One says, مَا غَضَنَكَ عَنَّا What withheld, hindered, or diverted, or has withheld, &c., thee from us? (S.) In the “ Nawádir ” of IAar, this verb, which is correctly thus, with ض, is erroneously with ص. (TA.) -A2- غَضَنَتْ بِوَلَدِهَا, and ↓ غَضّنت, She (a camel) cast her young one, or fœtus, in an imperfect state, (K, TA.) before the hair had grown upon it and its make had become [perfectly apparent. (TA. [See also خَدَجَتْ.]) [This is what is meant in the S where, after the mention of a signification of ↓ التَّغْضِين which will be found below, it is said that this word signifies also الرِّجَاعُ (an inf. n. of رَجَعَتْ, q. v.): hence, app., (though referring to the K as his authority,) Freytag has given to غضّنت, as said of a she-camel, besides the signification mentioned above, another, which is also assigned to رَجَعَتْ; i.e., she falsely indicated her being pregnant, by raising her tail, &c.] -A3- See also 5, in form places: -A4- and see 4

, inf. n. تَغْضِينٌ, I wrinkled, shrivelled, or puckered, it syn. of the inf. n. تَشْنِيجٌ. (S.) One says. دَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَغَضَّنَ لِى مِنْ جَبْهَتِه [I went in to him and be wrinkled to me a portion of his forehead.] (TA) See also 5 -A2- and see 1 in two places -A3- and 4

signifies مُكَاسَرَةُ العَيْنيْنِ [The contracting of the eyes so as to wrinkle the lids], (S, K, TA,) by reason of doubt, or suspicion. (TA.)

He talked, or act, with the woman, in an amatory and enticing manner, with the contracting of the eyes so as to wrinkle the lids] (A. TA.)

The sky rained continually; (S, TA;) as also غضنت [perhaps ↓ غَضَنَت, but more probably, I think, ↓ غَضَّنَت] (TA.) And غضنت السَّحَابَةُ [The cloud rained continually]. (S and TA in explanation of رَيَّمَت.) And اغضن عَلَيْهِ الحُمَّى The fever continued upon him persistently. (IAar, TA.) اغضن عَلَيْهِ اللَّيْلُ The night became dark upon him. (TA.)

Contracting his eye so as to wrinkle the lids, naturally, or by reason of enmity, or from pride. (K.)

an inf. n. of غَضِنُ. (MA [See 5, in two places.]) See also غَضْنٌ, in three places, غَضَنُ العَيْنِ signifies The exterior, or apparent جِلْدَة [app. meaning tunic i. e. the sclerotic tunic,] of the eye. (S, TA.)

That was within the folds, meaning in the midst, of such a thing, or such an affair or event]; like فِى أَثْنَاءِ كذا (TA in art. ثنى غُضُونُ الأُذُنِ means The places of fold the case; syn. مَثَانِيهَا. K, TA. in the CK [erroneously] مَنابِتُها.) -A2- Also (i.e. غَضْنٌ and ↓ غَضَنٌ. TA) Difficulty, distress, or trouble, and fatigue or weariness. (K, TA.) The Arabs say to a man, in threatening him, لَأُطِيلَنَّ غَضْنَكَ or ↓ غَضَنَكَ i. e. [I will assuredly make] thy difficulty &c., [to be long (AZ, A, TA)]
