Verb

فَاصَ • (fāṣa) I, non-past يَفِيصُ‎ (yafīṣu)

1. (obsolete) to go away, to part, to cede
   • a. 540, Imruʾ al-Qays, أمِنْ ذِكرِ سلمَى أنْ نأتْكَ تَنوصُ ^[2]:

     وَذِي أُشُرٍ تَشُوقُهُ وَتَشُوصُ
     مَنَابِتُهُ مِثْلُ السُدُوسِ وَلَوْنُهُ
     كَشَوْكِ السِيَالِ فَهْوَ عَذْبٌ يَفِيصُ

     wa-ḏī ʔušurin tašūqu-hū wa-tašūṣu
     manābitu-hū miṯlu s-sudūsi wa-lawnu-hū
     ka-šawki s-siyāli fa-hwa ʕaḏbun yafīṣu

     And these between-times thrutch him to and fro and rapture,
     its plantings equalling woad and the colour it passes,
     like milk-vetch, it’s a thing with but a sweetness that lapses.
