وَرِثَ , aor. يَرِثُ, (S, K,) an instance of
deviation from a constant rule, there being only
the following verbs of the measure فَعِلَ which
have the aorists of the measure يَفْعِلُ only,
namely, وَثِقَ, وَرِثَ, وَرِعَ, وَرِمَ, وَرِىَ, وَفِقَ, وَلِىَ,
and وَمِقَ, (Ibn-Málik and others,) and وَصِبَ:
(TA, art. وَصب:) the و falls out in يَرِثُ [&c.]
because it occurs between ى and kesreh; and in
those persons of the aor. which begin with ا and
ت and ن because these letters are changed from
ى, which is the original: (S:) inf. n. وِرْثٌ and
إِرْثٌ, (S, K,) in which the و is changed into أ,
(S,) and رِثَةٌ, (S, K,) in which the ة is a substitute for the [elided] و, (S,) and وِرَاثَةٌ (S, K,)
[the most common form] and إِرَاثَةٌ, (TA,) and
accord. to some مِيرَاثٌ, but this is an error, for
مِفْعَالٌ is not one of the measure of inf. ns.,
(ISd,) [but it is used by some of the professors
of practical law as an inf. n.,] and تُراثٌ: (Msb
[but see وِرْثٌ below]:) He inherited. (S, K,
&c.) You say وَرِثَ أَبَاهُ He inherited [the property of] his father: (S, K:) but the original
phrase is وَرِثَ مَالَ أَبِيهِ He inherited the property of his father. (Msb.) Also وَرِثَ مِنْ أَبِيهِ
(and عَنْهُ, A,) He inherited of his father: (K:)
or he inherited part of the property of his father.
(Msb.) And وَرِثَ الشَّىْءَ مِنْ أَبِيهِ He inherited
the thing of, or from, his father. (S.) When
you say وَرِثَ زَيْدٌ أَبَاهُ مَالًا [Zeyd inherited of his
father property], the word مالا is a second
objective complement, if the verb be doubly
trans.; or it is a substitute of implication
(بَدَلُ ٱشْتِمَالٍ) for زيد. (MF.) You say وَرِثْتُهُ
مَالَهُ, and مَجْدَهُ, I inherited his property, and,
(tropical:) his glory: and وَرِثْتُهُ عَنْهُ I inherited it from
him. (TA.)
