(TA.) [And hence, app.,] bika*aA nafosuka ↓ qaS~arato [ Thy mind, or wish, fell short of what was requisite with respect to such a thing ], said to him who has sought, or desired, little, and a mean share or lot. (TA.) And, bifulaAnK ↓ qaS~ara [ He fell short of what was required by such a one, or due to him; or] he acted meanly, and sparingly, with such a one, in a gift.

(TA.) -A2- qaSoruka A^ano tafoEala ka*aA and ↓ qaSaAruka , (S, M, K,) and ↓ quSaAruka , (M, K,) and ↓ quSaAraAka , (S, M, K,) and ↓ quSayoraAka , (M, K,) Thine utmost, or the utmost of thy power or of thine ability or of thy deed, ( juhoduka , M, K, [or app., jahoduka , (see art. jhd ,)] and gaAyatuka , S, M, K,) and the end of thy case, and that to which thou hast confined or restricted or limited thyself, (S, TA,) [or that to which thou art confined or restricted or limited, ] is, or will be, thy doing such a thing. (S, M, K.) It is from qaSorN signifying the “ act of confining, restricting, limiting, ” &c. (TA.) And ↓ quSoraY also signifies the end of an affair. (Sgh, TA.) A poet says A_in~amaA A^anofusunaA EaAriy~apN waA@loEawaAriY~u qaSaArN A^ano turado [ Our souls are only a loan: and the end of loans is their being given back; turado being for turad~a ]. (S, TA.)

(TA.) Sb says, that qaSorN has no dim.; the Arabs being content to use in its stead the dim. of masaA='N . (M.) You say A^atayotuhu qaSorFA I came to him in the afternoon, or evening; syn. Ea$iy~FA .

[or coll. gen. n.] qaSarN , and pl. pl. [or pl. of qaSarN ] A^aqoSaArN : (M:) or this latter is pl. of qaSarapN , (M, K,) accord. to Kr, but this is extr., unless the augmentative letter in the sing. be disregarded in its formation. (M.) I'Ab reads kaA@loqaSari , in the Kur, lxxvii. 32, (S, M, * TA,) and explains it as meaning Like the thick bases of necks, (M, * TA,) or as meaning kaqaSari Aln~axoli , i. e. AlA^aEonaAq . (S.)
