وَرِثَ

, aorist يَرِثُ, (S, K,) an instance of deviation from a constant rule, there being only the following verbs of the measure فَعِلَ which have the aorists of the measure يَفْعِلُ only, namely, وَثِقَ, وَرِثَ, وَرِعَ, وَرِمَ, وَرِىَ, وَفِقَ, وَلِىَ, and وَمِقَ, (Ibn-Málik and others,) and وَصِبَ: (TA, article وَصب:) the و falls out in يَرِثُ [&c.] because it occurs between ى and kesreh; and in those persons of the aorist which begin with ا and ت and ن because these letters are changed from ى, which is the original: (S:) verbal noun وِرْثٌ and إِرْثٌ, (S, K,) in which the و is changed into أ, (S,) and رِثَةٌ, (S, K,) in which the ة is a substitute for the [elided] و, (S,) and وِرَاثَةٌ (S, K,) [the most common form] and إِرَاثَةٌ, (TA,) and according to some مِيرَاثٌ, but this is an error, for مِفْعَالٌ is not one of the measure of inf. ns., (ISd,) [but it is used by some of the professors of practical law as a verbal noun,] and تُراثٌ: (Msb [but see وِرْثٌ below]:) He inherited. (S, K, &c.) You say وَرِثَ أَبَاهُ He inherited [the property of] his father: (S, K:) but the original phrase is وَرِثَ مَالَ أَبِيهِ He inherited the property of his father. (Msb.) Also وَرِثَ مِنْ أَبِيهِ (and عَنْهُ, A,) He inherited of his father: (K:) or he inherited part of the property of his father. (Msb.) And وَرِثَ الشَّىْءَ مِنْ أَبِيهِ He inherited the thing of, or from, his father. (S.) When you say وَرِثَ زَيْدٌ أَبَاهُ مَالًا [Zeyd inherited of his father property], the word مالا is a second objective complement, if the verb be doubly transitive; or it is a substitute of implication (بَدَلُ اشْتِمَالٍ) for زيد. (MF.) You say وَرِثْتُهُ مَالَهُ, and مَجْدَهُ, I inherited his property, and, (tropical:) his glory: and وَرِثْتُهُ عَنْهُ I inherited it from him. (TA.)
