Nounرِخْوٌ3 senses · 1 main

Core sense — soft, yielding, lax, slack, easily brokengenerated

1a stone that is soft, yielding, and the like—حَجَرٌ رِخْوٌ

Also رَخْوٌ and رُخْوٌ.

According to As and Fr, the first is the approved form; according to Az, it is the one used by the Arabs. The second, according to As, Fr and Az, is post-classical; and the third belongs to the dialect of the Kilábees.

Applied to a thing of any kind: soft, yielding, flaccid, flabby, lax, slack, uncompact, crumbly, fragile, brittle, friable, easily or quickly broken; the same as هَشُّ, or لَيَّنٌ سَهْلٌ [and مُسْتَرْخٍ means the same, as the explanation of its verb in the first sentence of this article shows].

The feminine is with ة: رِخْوَةٌ, رَخْوَةٌ, and رُخْوَةٌ [and مُسْتَرْخِيَةٌ].

Also رَخْوٌ or رُخْوٌ.

1.1a mare that is easy, gentle, and deliberate in pace—فَرَسٌ رِخْوَةٌ

a horse that is easy to lead, or tractable—فَرَسٌ رِخْوُ العِنَانِ

The phrase فَهِىَ رِخْوٌ is used in a verse of Aboo-Dhu-eyb instead of فهى رِخْوَةٌ, because it means فَهِىَ شَىْءٌ رِخْوٌ.

1.2the lax letters—الحُرُوفُ الرِّخْوَةُ

It is said in the K, by a slip of the pen, that these are the letters other than those in the phrase لَمْ يُرْعُونَا [for which some say لَمْ يَرْوِ عَنَّا].

Sgh says, correctly, that they are the letters other than those termed الشَّدِيدَةُ and those in the phrase لم يرعونا. As is said in the M, they are thirteen: ث, ح, خ, ذ, ز, س, ش, ص, ض, ظ, غ, ف, and ه.

[De Sacy adds, in his Grammar (2nd ed. i. 29), ا without ء, and و and ى, which are generally put in an intermediate class between the شديدة and the رخوة, namely the class made up of the letters in the phrase لم يرعونا or لم يرو عنّا.]

The letter termed رِخْوٌ is the one in which the sound runs on, as it does, for instance, in the س and ش when you say المَسّ and الرَّشّ.

It has the first of these meanings in the Kur 38:35; or there it means a wind that does not go against the will of God.

Qur’ān 38:36 approximate — somewhere between 38:32 and 38:46 Lane cites “Kur xxxviii. 35”

Qur’ān 38:36 the verse Lane’s citation points to, and it uses this root
