(S, L, K.)

. [It is said in the K, القَحِيحُ فَوْقَ العَبِّ وَالجَرْعِ: but it appears from a statement in the TK that these words are a mistake copied from the Moheet of Ibn-'Abbad, founded upon a mistranscription of القُحْقُحُ فَوْقَ القِبِّ. See what next follows.]

[an inf. n. of which the verb is قَحْقَحَ] signifies The laughing of the ape or monkey. (L, K.) [Compare with this قَهْقَهَةٌ.] And The voice's being, or becoming, reiterated in the throat, or fauces. (L, K.) And it is similar to بُحَّةٌ [which means A hoarseness, roughness, harshness, or gruffness, of the voice]. (L.) [But both of these significations are also assigned in the L to فَحْفَحَةٌ, with ف; to which alone, of these two words, they may perhaps belong.]

and ↓ مُقَحْقِحٌ [A night's journey to water] that is hard, or difficult. (K.)

The root, foundation, origin, or source, of a thing or an affair; its essence, or very essence; or what is, or constitutes, its most essential, or elementary, part; the ultimate element to which it can be reduced or resolved; its utmost point or particular; or its principal, or best, part; syn. أَصْلُهُ (Kr, L, K, TA) and فَصُّهُ (K, TA) and خَالِصُهُ. (L, K, TA.) One says, صَارَ إِلَى قُحَاحِ الأَمْرِ He reached, or arrived at, the root, &c., of the affair. (L.) And لَقَد وَقَعْتُ بِقُحَاحِ قُرِّكَ, as also وَقَعْتُ بِقُرِّكَ, I have become acquainted with (عَلِمْتُ) all that thou knowest, nothing thereof being hidden from me. (Ibn-Buzurj, TA.) And لَأَضْطَرَّنَّكَ إِلى قُحَاحِكَ I will assuredly make thee to have recourse to thine utmost effort, or endeavour, i. e. إِلَى جَهْدِكَ: or, as IAar says, لا ضطرّنّك الى تُرِّكَ وَقُحَاحِكَ, i. e. إِلَى أَصْلِكَ. (L. [See أَصْلٌ.]) See also قُحٌّ, latter half.

[The ischium; i. e.] the bone that surrounds the posterior pudendum, (S, K,) somewhat above the قِبّ [or end of the rump-bone]: (S:) or the part where the two hip-bones meet, internally: or [rather] what intervenes between the two hipbones, and surrounds the خَوْرَان [or anus, or part in which is the anus]; the خوران being between the قُحْقُح and the عُصْعُص: or the lower part of the عَجْب [or rump-bone, or root of the tail], in the integuments (طِبَاق) of the two hip-bones; somewhat above the قِبّ: or the bone upon which is the place wherein the penis is inserted, next, or near, to the lower part of the رَكَب [or pubes]: it is said in the T that it is no part of the extremity of the backbone, and that its place of junction, or meeting, is outside the عُصْعُص: also, that the upper part of the عُصْعُص is the عَجْب, and its lower part is the ذَنَب: or the عصعص is the internal extremity of the backbone, and the عجب is its external extremity, and the خَوْرَان is the دُبُر: (L, TA:) or, accord. to IAar, i. q. عُصْعُصٌ. (O voce عُكْدَةٌ.)

Pure, sheer, mere, unmixed, unmingled, unadulterated, or genuine; (As, S, A, K;) in, or in respect of, (As, S, A,) or applied to, (K,) meanness, sordidness, or ignobleness, and generosity, liberality, or nobleness, (As, S, A, K,) and anything: (K:) fem. قُحَّةٌ: and pl. أَقْحَاحٌ. (S, A.) One says لَيءِيمٌ قُحٌّ [One that is mean, sordid, or ignoble,] in whom is nought of generosity, liberality, or nobleness. (A.) And عَبْدٌ قُحٌّ A pure, or mere, slave; one that is of purely servile condition; (S;) or such as is termed قِنٌّ [which means the same; or one born of slave-parents; &c.]. (A.) And عَرَبِىٌّ قُحٌّ A pure, or genuine, Arabian; one of pure Arabian race; fem. عَرَبِيَّةٌ قُحَّةٌ: (S, A, TA:) as also كُحٌّ and كُحَّةٌ; in which the ك is a substitute for the ق; for they said أَقْحَاحٌ, but not أَكْحَاحٌ: [i. e. كُحُّ is not a dial. var. of قُحٌّ, because the former has no pl.:] or أَكْحَاحٌ is used as a pl. of كُحٌّ. (L in art. كح.) And أَعْرَابِىٌّ قُحٌّ and ↓ قُحَاحٌ (K, TA) A pure, or genuine, Arab of the desert: or one who has not entered the towns, nor mixed with their inhabitants: (TA:) pl. أَعْرَابٌ أَفْحَاحٌ. (S, TA.) And فُلَانٌ مِنْ قُحِّ العَرَبِ (ISk, A, * TA) and كُحِّهِمْ, (ISk, TA) Such a one is of the pure, or genuine, of the Arabs. (ISk, A, * TA.) Also Coarse, rough, or rude, in make, or in nature or disposition; applied to a man; (Lth, S, K;) as though he were purely so; (S;) and to other than man. (Lth, K.) And (hence, TA) Unripe, applied in this sense to a melon, or water-melon, (Lth, A, K, TA,) because of its dryness: (A:) or one in its last state: but Az says that Lth has erred in explaining the word in the former of these senses, and that the correct word is فِجٌّ. (TA.)
