أَرْنَبٌ

أَرْنَبٌ [The hare; and now applied to the rabbit also;] a certain animal, (TA,) well known, (M, A, Ḳ, TA,) like the عناق [?], having short fore legs and long hind legs, that treads the ground with the hinder parts of its [hind] legs: (TA:) a certain very prolific animal, called in Pers. خركوش [or خَرْگُوشْ]: it is said that it is one year a male and another year a female, and menstruates like women; and its fore legs are shorter than its hind legs: when it sleeps, it keeps its eyes open; and when it is sick, it eats green canes (قَصَب), and its sickness ceases: (Ḳzw:) the word is a gen. n., (TA,) of the fem. gender, (Mṣb, TA,) accord. to El-Jáhidh; (TA;) but (Mṣb) applied to the male and the female; (M, A, Ḳ, TA;) as is also أَرْنَبَةٌ↓, (Mṣb,) which is a dial. var.: (Mgh, Mṣb:) or to the female [only]; the male being called خُزَزٌ; (T, M, Ḳ, TA;) accord. to Lth; but others allow its application to the male: (T:) the female is also called عِكْرِشَةٌ: and the young, خِرْنِقٌ: (TA:) the pl. is أَرَانِبُ (T, Ṣ, M, Mṣb, Ḳ) and أَرَانٍ, (Lḥ, Ṣ, M, Ḳ,) the latter, like ثَعَالٍ for ثَعَالِبُ, occurring in poetry, (Ṣ, M,*) and not allowed by Sb except in poetry. (M.) The ا in أَرْنَبٌ is augmentative, accord. to Lth: accord. to most of the grammarians it is disjunctive, (so in a copy of the T and in the TA,) or radical: (so in another copy of the T:) Lth says that no word commences with a radical ا but such as is triliteral; as أَرْضٌ and أَرْشٌ. (T, TA.) [Hence,] one says of the low, abject, or ignominious, and weak, إِنَّمَا هُوَ أَرْنَبٌ [He is only a hare]; because that animal cannot defend itself, and even the lark will endeavour to make it its prey. (A, TA.) See another ex. below, voce أَرْنَبَةٌ. [Hence, also,] الأَرْنَبُ is the name of † A certain constellation, [Lepus,] comprising twelve stars in its figure, having no observed stars around it, situate beneath the feet of الجَبَّار [i. e. Orion], and facing the west. (Ḳzw.)

الأَرْنَبُ البَحْرِىُّ, accord. to Ḳzw, A certain marine animal, the head of which is like that of the أَرْنَب [or hare], and the body like that of a fish: or, accord. to Ibn-Seenà, a small testaceous animal, which is of a poisonous quality when drunk [app. meaning in water]: so that, accord. to this explanation, the resemblance [to the ارنب commonly so called] is in the name, not the form. (TA.)

(T, A, TA.) You say, جَدَعَ أَرْنَبَتَهُ [lit. He cut off the end of his nose;] meaning † he held him in mean estimation, or in contempt. (A, TA.) Andوَجَدْتُهُمْ مُجَدَّعِى الأَرَانِبِ أَشَدَّ فَزَعًا مِنَ الأَرَانِبِ↓[I found them to be held in contempt, (lit. having the ends of their noses cut off,) more fearful than hares]. (A, TA.)
