Core sense — it increased, or augmented; it returned, or went backgenerated

It increased, or augmented; said of wheat and of other things.; maṣdar رَيْعٌ, رُيُوعٌ, رِيَاعٌ, and رَيَعَانٌ.

Or, as some say, it denotes زِيَادَة, that is, it became redundant, or it exceeded, in relation to flour and to bread; but the truth is that it has both meanings.

. Also أَرَاعَت, which Az says is more commonly used than the first; and رَيَّعَ الطَّعَامُ, which is the same as رَيَّعَتِ الحِنْطَةُ. The same is said of other things.

such a thing was redundant, or remained over, in my hand—رَاعَ فِى يَدِى كَذَا

Also رَاقَ, synonymous with زَادَ; mentioned in art. روع.

1.2he, or it, returned, or went back—رَاعَ

it returned; or it returned to its place—رَاعَ

IDrd.; mentioned in art. روع and in art. روع. The first of the two verbs is the more common.

[I exhorted him, but he refused] to return—وَعَظْتُهُ فَأَبِى أَنْ يَرِيعَ

[see 1, of which it is an inf. n.] Increase; syn. زِيَادَةٌ [which may be meant to include the third of the significations here following]; as in the saying, هٰذَا طَعَامٌ كَثِيرُ الرَّيْعِ [This is wheat of much increase]. (Mgh.) Revenue arising from the increase of land: because it is an augmentation. (Mgh.) Milk; as in the phrase, نَاقَةٌ كَثِيرَةٌ رَيْعُهَا [A she-camel whose milk is abundant]. (A, TA.) Redundance; a part, or portion, redundant; a surplus; or a residue; syn. فَضْلٌ ; of anything; as of flour, or meal, (Msb, K,) over and above the measure of the wheat; (Msb;) and of dough [when it has risen]; and of seed for sowing [when it has been sown]; and the like. (K.) Hence it is said, in a trad. of I'Ab, respecting the expiation of an oath, لِكُلِّ مِسْكِينٍ مُدٌّ مِنْ حِنْطَةٍ رَيْعُهُ إِدَامُهُ [To every poor man, a mudd of wheat: the redundance, or redundant part or portion, thereof shall be for its seasoning]: i. e., it is not necessary for the person to give, with the mudd, seasoning; but the redundance that shall arise, of the flour, or meal, of the mudd [of wheat], when he shall have ground it, therewith shall the seasoning be bought. (TA.) Hence also, the trad. of 'Omar, اِمْلِكُوا العَجِينَ فَإِنَّهُ أَحَدُ الرَّيْعَيْنِ Knead ye well, or thoroughly, or soundly, the dough; for this action is one of the رَيْعَانِ [here meaning the two causes of redundance; the other cause being the grinding].

See also رِيعٌ . Also, (K,) and رَيْعَانٌ , [which latter is the more common in this sense,] (S, K,) The first (S, K) and most excel-lent (K) part of anything: (S, K:) said in the B to be a metaphorical application from رَيْعٌ as signifying a high, or an elevated, place. (TA.) Hence, (S, TA,) رَيْعُ الشَّبَابِ , by poetic license written رَيَع , (TA,) or رَيْعَانُ الشَّبَابِ , (S, A, L, TA,) The first, or prime, (S, A, TA,) and most excellent, (A, TA,) part, or period, of youth or youthfulness or youthful vigour: (S, A, TA:) or this is from رَيْعٌ in relation to wheat: (A, TA:) or from رَيْعَانُ المَطَرِ the first of rain. (L, TA.) Hence also, (S,) رَيْعَانُ السَّرَابِ (S, Sgh, L) The first of the mirage; (S, Sgh;) what comes and goes thereof; (Sgh;) or such as is in a state of commotion or agitation, quivering, vibrating, or moving to and fro.

Nounرِيعٌ1 sense

Core sense — high, or elevated, ground; a high place; a road, or a mountain-passgenerated

1what is the elevation of your land?—كَمْ رِيعُ أَرْضِكَ

Also رَيْعٌ: the first occurring, or the second according to one reading, in the Qur'ān 26:128. High, or elevated, land or ground; or a high, or an elevated, place, a meaning also assigned to رِيعَةٌ.

[Not to be mistaken for كَمْ رَيْعُ أَرْضِكَ, in which the meaning is “increase.”]

Or any road such as is termed فَجّ; or a road of any kind, to which some add, whether travelled or not. [See an example in the first paragraph of art. سمت.]

Or a road opening so as to form a gap in a mountain; or, as in some copies of the K, from a mountain; but the first of these is what is termed فَجٌّ, mentioned above.

Or a mountain, according to 'Omárah; or, as in some copies of the S, a small mountain; or also a high mountain.

Ism waḥda with ة [that is, رِيعَةٌ, as it is written in the S, and رَيْعَةٌ also, as implied in the K]. It seems from this that رِيعٌ and رَيْعٌ are sometimes used, at least in one sense, as collective generic nouns.

Plural رِيَاعٌ, which is irregular, and رُيُوعٌ; and of the smaller number أَرْيَاعٌ. But AO says, contrary to J, that رِيعَةٌ is the plural of رِيعٌ.

Or رِيعٌ and رَيْعٌ mean the channel of the torrent of a valley coming from any high, or elevated, place.

The former also means a high mound, or heap of sand, or hill; and a Christian's cloister or cell, synonymous with صَوْمَعَةٌ; and a pigeon-turret.
