Dictionary Arabic-English Lexicon by Edward William Lane (d. 1876)
Entry هزم
7 اِنْهَزَمَ It (an army) was routed, discomfited, defeated, or put to flight. (K, &c.) See حَاصَ, in art. حيص; and اِنْحَازَ, in art. حوز; from both of which it is distinguished.
هَزْمَةٌ The [purring, or] sound of the throat of a cat. (TA.)
The pit between the two collar-bones. (TA, art. ترب.)
[The pit above a horse's eye.] (K, voce وَقْبٌ.) See also خُنْعُبَةٌ, and قَلْتَةٌ: and see عُقْمٌ, where it seems to mean a stricture: it generally and properly signifies a depression, or dint: or a pit, or small hollow, resembling a dint: see also غَيْبٌ.
مَهْزُومُ الصَّدْرِ Depressed of breast, i. e., apparently, illiberal, niggardly: see حَوْضٌ.
E.W. Lane's Arabic-English Lexicon (8 parts, London, 1863-93) is a major Arabic-English dictionary based on 112 sources, mostly medieval ones, along with al-Zabidi's Taj al-Aroos (also included in Lisaan.net). Lane died before he could finish the work, his great-nephew Stanley Lane-Poole finished it, publishing Volumes VI, VII and VIII from 1877–1893 using Lane's incomplete notes. Lane-Pool's work is of lower quality than Lane's. The work of Reinhart Dozy (see below) was meant as a supplement to Lane's work that covers modern Arabic (Lane focused on classical Arabic only). The digital text for the Lexicon was sourced from Tufts University under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 United States License. We used a TXT version created by an internet user named Navid-ul-Islam. Lisaan.net's version of the Lane Lexicon corrects various errors from both the Persues project (such as erroneous transcriptions of the Persian letter ژ) and the TXT version. Lisaan.net's version also provides helpful automatic annotations on the various abbreviations used by Lane.
