5 فُلَانٌ يَنْتِحُ نَتِيحَ الحَمِيتِ
6 تَنَحَتْ ذِفْرَى البَعِيرِ عَرَقًا The camel's protuberance behind his ear dripped with sweat, by reason of his journeying during a vehemently hot summer-day.
7 نَتَحَتِ الدُمُوعُ, Verbal.Noun نَتْحٌ,
8 نَتَحَهُ It made him to sweat. [Its Present.T seems to be يَنْتَحُ; and MF thinks that, in an instance which follows, it may be written with ا after the ت by poetic licence.] F observes, that J has fallen into three errors with respect to اِنْتَاحَ; [saying that الاِنْتِيَاحُ (in the place of which is put, in some copies of the S, الاِنْتِتَاحُ, as is mentioned in the TA,) is like النَّتْحُ, and citing these words of Dhu-r-Rummeh, describing a camel making his voice to reciprocate in the شِقْشِقَة,
first, because the root of the present art. is sound, so that الانتياح has no place in it; secondly, because this word has no meaning ; and thirdly, because the [correct] reading is تَمْتَاحُ, meaning “ casts forth ” the froth of the mouth. Neither IB nor IM has animadverted on J in this case. MF, however, observes, that one relation of a verse &c., does not impugn the correctness of another relation that differs from it; and that perhaps the ن of تنتاح is a substitute for م; such substitution being frequent; [as in the case of إِنْتَتَحَ;] or that the ا is what is termed أَلِفُ إِشْبَاعٍ, and added for the sake of the metre.رَقْشَآءُ تَنْتَاحُ اللُّغَامَ المُزْبِدَا
