Core sense — a messenger between lovers; a small vessel of brass or stone for drinkinggenerated

1a girl who is sent on messages between lovers—تَوْرَةٌ

A messenger between people, or one who goes about between lovers. According to IDrd, a genuine Arabic word. Plural أَتْوَارٌ.

2[Lend me your little تَوْر]—أَعِيرِينِى تُوَيْرَتَكِ

A well-known small vessel from which one drinks; of brass, or of stone, like the إِجَّانَة, and sometimes used for the ablution called وُضُوْء.

Named either from the word meaning the running, or flowing, of water, because it is lent and returned again, or from the word meaning a messenger.

Of the masculine gender; [or feminine, for Z says,] I passed, at the Gate of El-ʿOmrah, [of the Temple of Mekkeh,] by a woman who was saying to her female neighbour:

Had she treated تور as masculine, she would have said تُوَيْرَكِ.

Nounتَارَةٌ2 senses

Core sense — a time; one time; a time, whether long or short; blood-revengegenerated

1he did that time after time—فَعَلَ ذٰلِكَ تَارَةً بَعْدَ تَارَةً

Originally with ء, which is dropped because of frequent use, and sometimes pronounced with ء; or its ا is [originally] و, [and it is therefore mentioned in most of the lexicons in this article]; [or ى, for it is mentioned in the S under تير.]

A time; one time; synonym مَرَّةٌ. Also a time, whether long or short; synonym حِينٌ.

Sometimes pronounced تَارٌ, without ة. Plural تَارَاتٌ and تِيَرٌ, the latter a contraction of تِيَارٌ, just as they said قَامَاتٌ and قِيَمٌ, because of the unsound letter.

See also تأر.

this is the worst of your times—هٰذِهِ شَرٌّ تَارَاتِكَ
2apparently: O the blood-revenge of such a one!—يَا تَارَاتِ فُلَانٍ

Mentioned by Lh, or AA, but not explained by him.

He quotes the saying of Hassán: [which probably means You will certainly hear, soon, in their abodes, “God is most great! O the blood-revenge of ʿOthmán!”]

shāhid
لَتَسْمَعَنَّ وَشِيكًا فِى دِيَارِهِمُاَللّٰهُ أَكْبَرُ يَا تَارَاتِ عُثْمَانَ

ISd says: in my opinion تارات is formed by transposition from وِتْرٌ, which signifies blood, or rather blood-revenge, though it does not agree with it in measure.

IB says that وشيكا here means سَرِيعًا.

Mentioned under وشك. See also ثَأْرٌ.

Qur’ānic occurrences تَارَة

أَمْ أَمِنتُمْ أَن يُعِيدَكُمْ فِيهِ تَارَةً أُخْرَىٰ فَيُرْسِلَ عَلَيْكُمْ قَاصِفًا مِّنَ ٱلرِّيحِ فَيُغْرِقَكُم بِمَا كَفَرْتُمْ ۙ ثُمَّ لَا تَجِدُوا۟ لَكُمْ عَلَيْنَا بِهِۦ تَبِيعًا

Or do ye feel secure that He will not send you back a second time to sea and send against you a heavy gale to drown you because of your ingratitude, so that ye find no helper. Therein against Us?

20:55
مِنْهَا خَلَقْنَـٰكُمْ وَفِيهَا نُعِيدُكُمْ وَمِنْهَا نُخْرِجُكُمْ تَارَةً أُخْرَىٰ

From the (earth) did We create you, and into it shall We return you, and from it shall We bring you out once again.
