قُحٌّ

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:) feminine قُحَّةٌ: and plural 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; feminine 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 dialect var. of قُحٌّ, because the former has no plural:] or أَكْحَاحٌ is used as a plural of كُحٌّ. (L in article 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:) plural 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.)
