he dug a well in the bed of the river, it being dry—بَسَرَ النَّهْرَ

[But here, for و هو صاف I read و هو جَافٌّ.]

Or in an improper place; or in an improper manner; or before its time.

This verb also means: he required a debt to be paid before it was due; and he required his debtor to pay a debt before it was due — from بَسَرَ النَّاقَةَ, explained above.

1.1.2figurative · مجاز — inferredhe began with it—بَسَرَ بِهِ

Core sense — full-grown unripe dates; anything fresh and juicy; fresh rain-watergenerated

1a fresh plant—نَبَاتٌ بُسْرٌ

Anything fresh, juicy, moist, not flaccid.

Or: a plant that has risen above the surface of the ground but has not grown tall, being then fresh and juicy; or such a plant is called بُسْرَةٌ [fem. of بُسْرٌ]; and so is what is fresh and juicy of the plant called بُهْمَى.

A plant, or herbage, is called بَارِضٌ when it first appears in the ground, then جَمِيمٌ, then بُسْرَةٌ, then صَمْعَآءُ, and then, when it is dry, بَسْرٌ.

1.1

Fresh water, recently produced by rain; and so بَسْرٌ; or that word means cold, or cool, water.

Plural of the first: بِسَارٌ, as رِمَاحٌ is the plural of رُمْحٌ.

1.2figurative · مجاز

A young, or youthful, man, and woman; or young, or youthful, and fresh.

The feminine is formed with ة, the two applied respectively to a man and a woman, or to a boy and a girl.

1.3figurative · مجاز

And, with ة: the sun when it has just risen, and is red, and not yet clear.

[According to the A, this meaning seems to be derived from the one that follows.]

1.4full-grown unripe dates—بُسْرٌ

Also بُسُرٌ, but this is rare; only the former is mentioned in the A and the Msb and elsewhere. Both are collective generic nouns.

Dates before they have become رُطَب; dates that have become coloured but have not become ripe; dates that have begun to colour, that is, to turn red or yellow; dates beginning to ripen. So called because they are fresh and juicy, and not flaccid.

Ism waḥda بُسْرَةٌ and بُسُرَةٌ; plural بُسْرَاتٌ [or بُسْرَةٌ] and بُسُرَاتٌ.

Sb says that بُسُرَةٌ [or بُسْرَةٌ, or each of these] has no broken plural; but he allows بُسْرَان and تَمْرَان as meaning two sorts of بُسْر and of تَكْر.

[J says] that بُسْرٍ in their first stage are called طَلْعٌ, then خَلَالٌ, then بَلَحٌ, then بُسْرٌ, then رُطَبٌ, then تَمْرٌ; but this saying of J is not good.

The original of them is called طلع; when they have become organized and compact, they are called سَيَابٌ or سَيَّابٌ [according to different copies of the K]; when they have become green and round, جَدَالٌ and سَرَادٌ and خَلَالٌ; when they have become somewhat large, بَغْوٌ; when they have become large, or full-grown, بُسْرٌ; then مُخَطَّمْ, then مُوَكِّتٌ, then تُذْنُوبٌ, then جُمْسَةٌ [in the CK جَمِيسَةٌ]; then ثَعْدَهٌ and خَالِعٌ and خَالِعَةٌ; and when completely ripe, رُطَبٌ and مَعْوٌ, then تَمْرٌ.
