(A, Msb) [and , as appears from what follows,] inf. n. خَرْصٌ, (S, A Mgh, Msb,) [and خِرْصٌ is also allowable, (see what follows,)] He computed by conjecture the quantity of the fruit upon the palm-trees: (A, Mgh, Msb:) or he computed by conjecture the quantity that was upon the palmtrees of fresh ripe dates that would be dried dates. (S.) خَرْصٌ signifies The computing quantity by conjecture; (A, K, TA;) conjecturing; opining: or forming an opinion of a thing of which one is not certain: you say, خَرَصَ العَدَدَ, aor. and , inf. n. خَرْصٌ and خِرْصٌ, the latter said by ISh to be like عِلْمٌ as inf. n. of عَلِمَ, and said by Az to be allowable because a simple subst. is put in the place of an inf. n., He computed by conjecture the number: and hence خَرْصُ النَّخْلِ, and التَّمْرِ, [the computing by conjecture the quantity of fruit upon palm-trees, and of dates,] because خَرْصٌ is the computing quantity by opinion, not by knowledge. (TA.) ― -b2- خَرْصٌ also signifies Any speaking by opinion, or conjecture. (K, * TA.) You say, خَرَصَ فِيهِ He spoke of him, or it, by opinion, or conjecture.
