Shaykh Muḥammad b. ʿAlī al-Ṣaduq
۞
The compiler of this book said: A belittled lordotic is a diminutive of a lordotic , and that is the one whose neck is curved. Swayback is a curvature that the neck, as if it breaks it until what is behind it. A lordotic is a noble who refrains (from action). It is also said: «A noble lordotic». Qaw’as is the one whose neck is thick, having a rigorous back with regards to everything. Qa’ous is an old man. Being lordotic is the opposite of having a hunch. The verb form is: «He was swaybacked , he is being swaybacked , in a manner of a swayback ». The plural is qa’saawaat and qu’s. A lordotic ant is that which raises its chest and tail. Iq’insaas and taqaa’us [1] stems from: «Such-a-person slacked» if he would not accomplish and not move forward in what he was assigned to. Muqa’is is a neighborhood from Tamim.
قال مصنف هذا الكتاب: الأقيعس تصغير الأقعس وهو الملتوي العنق والقعاس التواء يأخذ في العنق من ريح كأنما يكسره إلى ما وراءه، والأقعس العزيز الممتنع، ويقال: " عز أقعس " والقوعس الغليظ العنق، الشديد الظهر من كل شئ والقعوس الشيخ الكبير والقعس نقيض الحدب، والفعل: قعس يقعس قعسا والجمع قعساوات وقعس. والقعساء من النمل الرافعة صدرها وذنبها والاقعنساس شدة والتقاعس هو من " تقاعس فلان " إذا لم ينفذ ولم يمض لما كلف، ومقاعس حي من تميم.
