اصاخ لَهُ Form IV He listened to him, or it

(S, A, K, TA) and إِلَيْهِ, (A, TA,) inf. n. إِصَاخَةٌ, (TA,) He listened to him, or it. (S, K, TA.) [See a verse of Aboo-Du-ád (cited here as an ex. in the S and TA) voce نَاشِدٌ.] ― -b2- And اصاخ signifies also (tropical:) He was silent, or spake not, or ceased from speaking: so in the saying, أَصَاخَ فُلَانٌ عَلَى حَقِّ فُلَانٍ, meaning (tropical:) Such a one was silent respecting the right, or due, of such a one, that he might take it away. (A, TA.) [And it is said that] it signifies thus in the prov., أَصَاخَ إِصَاخَةَ المِنْدَهِ لِلنَّاشِدِ, i. e. He was silent with the silence of the frequent chider of camels [or of him who drives and chides many camels] to one making known, or giving information of, a thing lost: applied to him who strives, or labours, in seeking [a thing] and then lacks ability, and desists. (Meyd. [But the verse cited voce نَاشِدٌ suggests another rendering, which I think preferable. In Freytag's “ Arab. Prov. ” i. 718, للناشد is omitted.])
