(K.) [Az says,] I heard an Arab of the desert, of Benoo-Mudarris, say to a servant of his, اِرْثَأْ لِى لُبَيْنَةً أَشْرَبُهَا [Mix thou for me a little milk so as to make رَثِيْئَة, which I will drink]. (T.) And you say, رَثَأَ القَوْمَ (M, K) and رَثَأَ لَهُمْ (M) He made for the party رَثِيْئَة. (M, K.) b2: [Hence,] هُمْ يَرْثَؤُونَ رَأْيَهُمْ, (S,) and رَثَؤُوا رَأْيَهُمْ, (M,) inf. n. as above, (assumed tropical:) They confuse, or confound, and they confused, or confounded, their judgment, or opinion. (S, M. [See also 8.]) b3: And [hence also, perhaps, as رثيئة is said to be beaten with a مِجْدَح in the mixing of it,] He beat (K) with a staff, or stick. (TA.) A2: It (anger) became stilled, or appeased. (K.) A3: He (a camel) became affected with the disease termed رَثْأَة. (K.) A4: Also, (M, K,) inf. n. as above, (M,) a dial. var. of رَثَى, meaning He eulogized a man after his death [in verse or otherwise; or he wept for him, or over him, enumerating his good qualities or actions]: (M, K: *) and in like manner one says of a woman eulogizing her husband after his death; inf. n. مَرْثِئَةٌ: (M:) ISk mentions an Arab woman's saying رَثَأْتُ زَوْجِى بِأَبْيَاتٍ [I eulogized my husband after his death with verses]; pronouncing the verb with ء; but it is originally without ء: (S, Sgh:) Fr says that her doing this arose from her finding them to say رَثَأْتُ اللَّبَنَ and her therefore supposing المَرْثِيَة to be from the same source: (TA in the present art.:) or, accord. to Fr, their chasteness of speech sometimes induced them to pronounce with ء that which is [properly] without ء; and thus they said رَثَأْتُ المَيِّتَ and لَبَّأْتُ بِالحَجِّ and حَلَّأْتُ السَّوِيقَ. (TA in art. رثو.) 4 أَرْثَاَ see the next paragraph.8 ارتثأ It (milk) thickened, or became thick: (S, K:) and so ↓ ارثأ, (M, K,) in some one or more of the dialects. (M.) b2: [Hence,] ارتثأعَلَيْهِمْ أَمْرُهُمْ (assumed tropical:) Their case, or affair, became confused to them. (S, M.) And ارتثأ فِى رَأْيِهِ (assumed tropical:) He made a confusion in his judgment, or opinion. (S, K.) And هُمْ يَرْتَثِئُونَ أَمْرَهُمْ (assumed tropical:) [app. for فِى
أَمْرِهِمْ, and thus meaning They are confused, or they make a confusion, in their case, or affair: or, otherwise, they confuse their case, or affair]: from الرَّثِيْئَة; (T, TA;) and if so, tropical. (TA.) A2: Also He drank what is termed رَثِيْئَة. (T, K.) رَثْءٌ: see رَثْأَةٌ.
رُثْءٌ: see رُثْأَةٌ.
رَثْأَةٌ, (M, TA,) or ↓ رَثْءٌ, (K, [probably a mistranscription,]) (assumed tropical:) Littleness of intelligence or sagacity: (M, K:) and (assumed tropical:) weakness of heart: (M, TA:) and (assumed tropical:) foolishness, or stupidity; (K;) and so ↓ رَثِيْئَةٌ (Th, M, K) and ↓ مَرْثَأٌ. (TA in art. وأب.) b2: Hence, perhaps, (TA,) the first of these words (رَثْأَةٌ) signifies [also] (assumed tropical:) A certain disease in a camel's shoulder-joint, (K,) in consequence of which he limps. (TA.) رُثْأَةٌ, (M, TA,) or ↓ رُثْءٌ, (K, [probably a mistranscription,]) Blackness mixed with speckles of white; or the reverse: syn. رُقْطَةٌ.

(Har p. 451.) One says, الرَّثِيْئَةُ تَفْثَأُ الغَضَبَ (S, TA) What is termed رثيئة stills, or appeases, anger: (TA:) alluding to [the effect produced by] a small kindness: a saying which originated from a man's being incensed against some persons. and being hungry, and their giving him to drink some رثيئة, whereupon his anger became appeased: (S in art. فثأ:) hence it became a proverb. (TA.) A2: See also رَثْأَةٌ.
