احصاهُIV
, (Verbal.Noun إِحْصَآءٌ, TA,) He numbered, counted, calculated, reckoned, or computed, it: or he reached the last number thereof: or he collected it into an aggregate by numbering: from حَصًى; because they used pebbles in numbering like as we use the fingers; or because they used to divide a thing upon the pebbles, and when nothing remained they said, أَحْصَيْنَا, i. e. We have come to the pebbles; or because they used to reckon the spoils, and to divide among themselves, and then to take the pebbles, and put marks upon them, and when they ended the reckoning, and came to the marks, they said, أَحْصَيْنَا: or he retained it in his memory: or he understood it.
2 He registered, or recorded, its number: and [simply] he registered it, or recorded it.
3 He was able to number it, and to register it or record it: and he was able to do it.
4 He comprehended it, or knew it altogether: or [simply] he knew it. You say of God, أَحْصَى كُلَّ شَىْءٍ بِعِلْمِهِ He hath comprehended everything by his knowledge, nothing escaping Him thereof, small or great. And you say [of a man], أَحْصَى عِلْمَهُ [He had, or attained, a comprehensive and complete knowledge of it]. (K in art. حوط. [In the CK, erroneously, عِلْمُهُ.])
