Full Definition

فَشَّI , Present.T فَشُشَ Verbal.Noun فَشٌّ, He made the wind, and the butter, to come forth from the milk-skin, or butterskin, by loosing the tie round its mouth. And فَشَّ السِّقَآءَ He loosed the tie of the skin, and opened its mouth, after blowing into it, so that the wind came forth from it. [Hence the prov.,] لأَفُشَّنَّكَ فَشَّ الوَطْبِ I will assuredly make thine anger to come forth from thy head, as one makes the wind to come forth from the milk-skin, or butter-skin: said to a man who is angry: or I will assuredly remove thy boastfulness, &c.: or I will assuredly take away thy pride, and thy vanity, or vain glory, or conceit, &c.: or the meaning is لَأَحْلُبَنَّكَ [I will assuredly mulet thee, &c.; lit., milk thee]. See also فَشَاشِ.
2 [Hence,] فَشَّ النَّاقَةَ, Present.T as above, and so the Verbal.Noun, He milked the she-camel quickly. And فَشَّ الضَّرْعَ He exhausted all the milk of the udder.

5 And accord to Lth, الفَشُّ signifies تَتَبُّعُ السَّرِقَةِ الدُّونِ [app. meaning The seeking repeatedly, or in a leisurely manner, after pilfering, or petty theft]: it is the Verbal.Noun of فَشَّهُ, Present.T فَشُشَ : and Lth, or Az, cites as an ex., نَحْنُ وَلِينَاهُ فَلَا نَفُشُّهُ [which seems to mean We have had charge of it, and we will not seek repeatedly, or in a leisurely manner, bit by bit, after pilfering from it].

9 And الفَشُّ also signifies The blowing gently, or softly.
10 And The breaking wind gently, or softly.
11 And The uttering calumny; thus accord. to IAar, with ف, بَيْنَ النَّاسِ [among the people].
12 And فَشَّ القَوْمُ, Verbal.Noun فُشُوشٌ, The people, or party, became in good condition, or fat, after leanness: mentioned here, and also in art. قش, in the L.
