اخر

The maṣdar is تَأْخِيرٌ. The verb is both transitive and intransitive.

As a transitive verb: he made to go back, he drove back, he put behind or after, he made to be last, he made to remain behind or hold back, he kept back, he postponed, put off, deferred, or delayed, he made late. Opposite of قَدَّمَ.

For its meanings as an intransitive verb, see Form 5, in two places.

Quasi-passive of the transitive verb أخّر: he, or it, went back, drew back, receded, or retreated; he became put behind, or last; he remained behind, held back, or lagged; he was, or became, backward or late; it was kept back, postponed, put off, deferred, or delayed. Opposite of تَقَدَّمَ.

استأخَر has the same meaning; and أخّر, means the same, being intransitive as well as transitive.

Said by Mohammad to 'Omar; or the meaning is أَخِّرْعَنِّى رَأْيَكَ, [hold back your opinion from me; or reserve your opinion until after mine has been given].

Also الأَمْرِ in the same sense; and استأخر عَنْهُ means the same.

فَإِذَا جَآءَ أَجَلُهُمْ لَا يَسْتَأْخِرُونَ سَاعَةً in the Kur 7:32 and other places means: and when their time is come, for punishment, they will not remain behind, or be respited, [any while, or] the shortest time; or they will not seek to remain behind, by reason of intense terror.

See Form 5, in three places.

An adjective explained in various ways. Said in reviling, but not when the object is a female.

Also الآخِرَ, though some say this latter is wrong (Meshārik of 'Iyād), and so is الآخَرَ.

Other explanations: the outcast, the one alienated; or one who is put back and cast away; or, according to ISh, one who is put back and remote from good — and he adds that he thinks الأَخِير is meant; or the base fellow; or the most ignoble; or the miserable wretch (Et-Tedmuree and others); or the last speaker (Nawādir of Th); or الاخر here stands metonymically for the devil (Lb).

It is a word used [for the reason explained under أَبْعَدُ] in reporting to one of two people cursing each other what the other has said (Expositions of the Fs); and the phrase given above is meant to imply a prayer for those who are present, by contrasting them with the person to whom it directly applies.

Alluding to a particular person.

In a tradition of Māzin; the speaker meant himself, as though he were an outcast.

In another tradition. El-Khattābee relates it with medd, [that is, آخِرُ], explaining it as: begging is the last thing by which a man seeks sustenance when he is unable to gain in any other way.

The back, hinder, or latter, part; the hindmost, or last, part; opposite of قُدُمٌ.

[See also مُؤَخَّرٌ, from which it seems to differ in being used only adverbially, or with a preposition; and see آخِرٌ.]

مِنْ أُخُرٍ is used in the same way.

For جَآءِ أُخُرًا, see آخِرٌ, in two places.

This word and بِأُخْرَةٍ: see آخِرً.

This word and بِأَخَرَةٍ: see آخِرٌ, in five places.

I sold it (that is, the article of merchandise) with the payment postponed; on credit; for payment to be made at a future date. The same as بِنَظِرةٍ, that is, بِنَسِئَةٍ.

This word and بِأُخَرَةٍ: see آخِرٌ.

See آخَرُ, of which it is the feminine; and see also آخِرٌ.

Another feminine of آخَرُ.

This word and إِخْرِيَّا and إِخِرِيَّا: see آخِرٌ.

[This and أُخْرَاوِىُّ: relating to the other state of existence, or to the world to come.]

This and أَخِيرًا: see آخِرٌ, in five places. See also أَخِرٌ.

Diminutive of أُخْرَى, the feminine of آخَرُ, which see.

A noun of the measure أَفْعَلُ, but carrying the meaning of an adjective, from أَخَّرَ in the sense of تَأَخَّرَ: another; the other; a thing [or person] other than the former or first. It is the same in meaning as غَيْرٌ.

Or: one of two things, or persons.

It originally meant more backward.

Feminine أُخْرَى, and أُخْرَاةٌ, which last is not well known; masculine plural آخَرُونَ and أُخَرُ [this last irregular as a plural]; and, applied to irrational things, أَوَاخِرُ, as أَفَاضِلُ is the plural of أَفْضَلُ; feminine plural إُخْرَيَاتٌ and إُخَرُ, the last of which is imperfectly declinable.

An adjective of the measure أَفْعَلُ that is accompanied by مِنْ has no [dual nor] plural nor feminine so long as it is indeterminate; but when the article ال is prefixed to it, or it is itself prefixed to another noun which it governs in the genitive, it has a dual, a plural, and a feminine. It is not so with آخَرُ, for this has a feminine [and a dual] and a plural without مِنْ, without the article ال, and without being prefixed to another noun.

You say مَرَرْتُ بِرَخُلٍ آخَرَ and بِرِجَالٍ أُخَرَ and آخَرِينَ and بِاٌمْرَأَةٍ and بِنِسْوَةٍ: I passed by another man, and by other men, and by another woman, and by other women.

So, since it [that is, إُخَرُ] is made in this way to deviate from its original form, [namely آخَرُ, which belongs to a class of words used, when indeterminate, alike as singular, dual, and plural,] and is essentially and originally an adjective, it is imperfectly declinable, though a plural. But when you name a man by it, it is perfectly declinable while indeterminate, according to Akh, or imperfectly declinable according to Sb.

The diminutive of آخَرُ is أُوَيْخِرُ, the ا with the ء dropped following the same rule as the ا in ضَارِبٌ; and the diminutive of إُخْرَى is أُخَيْرَى.

See also الأُخْرَى, under آخِرٌ.

An adjective, of the measure فَاعِلٌ and أَخِيرٌ: the last, aftermost, hindmost; and the latter, after, hinder; and [as a noun] the end. Opposite of أَوَّلُ [or of أَوَّلٌ when used as a noun], or of مُتَقَدِّمٌ; or what comes after the first or former.

Feminine of the first آخِرَةٌ; plural [masculine] آخِرُونَ (Kur 26:84, and elsewhere), and (masculine and feminine) أَوَاخِرُ, and feminine آخِرَاتٌ also.

مَآخِيرُ is the same as أَوَاخِرُ, as in مَآخِيرُاللَّيْلِ [occurring in the article جهم, meaning the last, or latter, parts of the night].

أَخِيرًا and أُخُرًا and بِأَخَرَةٍ all mean the same.

Also الّا بِأَخَرَةٍ, in the same way.

Or جَآءِ أَخِيرًا and أُخُرًا and أَخْرَةٌ and بِأُخْرَةٍ and أُخَرَةٍ and بِأُخَرَةٍ, or أُخْرَةٌ, and بِأُخْرَةٍ and بِآخِرَةٍ and إِخْرِيَّا and أُخْرِيَّا and إِخِرِيَّا and آخِرِيَّا mean: he came lastly of everything.

Said in a tradition about Mohammad; or, according to IAth, it may mean in the last, or latter, part of his life.

One also says أَتَيْتُكَ آخِرَ مَرَّتَيْنِ and آخِرَ مَرَّتَيْنِ.

[See a similar phrase above, under آخَرُ.]

[عن is here the same as بِ, meaning they came all, without exception.]

[And كَانَ ذلِكَ فِى آخِرِ الشَّهْرِ and السَّنَةِ and فى أَوَاخِرِ هِمَا: that was at the end of the month, and of the year, and in its last days.]
