فر

He (a man) fled; or he turned away or aside, to elude, and fled, from something that he feared.; maṣdar فِرَارً, فَرٌ, مَفَرٌ, and مَفِرٌ, or the last is a noun of place [and of time].

In the Qur 75:10; or it may mean: when is its time?

Another reading (I'Ab); so too المِفَرُّ, an instrumental noun used as a noun of place. But the first is the common reading.

Also الدَّابَّةَ., with damm [in copies of the K فَرِرَ, but afterwards in those copies فَرُرَ, which is the regular and correct form]; maṣdar فَرٌّ, فُرَارٌ, فِرَارٌ, and فَرَارٌ; or فُرَارٌ is a simple substantive and فِرَارٌ is a maṣdar (Meyd, explaining the proverb that follows).

Also فِرَارُهُ, and فَرَارُهُ, sometimes pronounced with fet-h. For the word rendered aspect see عَيْنٌ.

A proverb applied to one whose outward state shows his inner qualities (Meyd): one knows his excellence from his عَيْن [i. e. aspect], as one knows the age of a beast by examining its teeth; his outward appearance makes it needless for you to test him and to examine his teeth.

In like manner الخَبِيثُ عَينُهُ فُرِاَرُهُ.

That is, you know his badness by his عَيْن when you see him.

.

Muḍāriʿ يَفِرُّ or يَفَرُّ.

I investigated his state, or condition, he investigating mine.

He, or it, made him flee; or made him turn away or aside, to elude, and flee: or he did something to him that made him flee; also افرّبِهِ.

Said by the Prophet to ʿAdee the son of Ḥātim, in a tradition. Many of the relaters say يَفُرُّكَ, but Az says the former is right.

Said of camels and of horses.

Mentioned by Sgh.

They fled, one from another.

He laughed in a beautiful manner, beyond what is termed اِنْكِلَال [maṣdar of اِنْكَلَّ].

Also افتر عَنْ ثَغْرِهِ.

Said of the Prophet.

Also: he snuffed a thing up into his nose.

He put it, or him, in a state of motion, commotion, or agitation; he shook it, or shook it about. Maṣdar فَرْفَارٌ or فِرْفَارٌ.

Said of a horse. [See also an explanation of the verb as intransitive, in what follows.]

Said of a camel; the verb here is intransitive.

See فَارٌّ, in two places.

Also فُرٌّ القَوْمِ and فُرَّتُهُمْ.

اَلَّذِينَ يَفْتَرُّونَ عَنْهُ: those who show him smiling — perhaps better rendered, those who withdraw from him so as to make him conspicuous.

Or مَالِهِ, of his property.

Az: this word and أَفُرَّةٌ are in my opinion from أَفَرَ, the أ being the first radical letter.

The headword itself and that word have the same meaning.

Ks states that some change the أ into ع, saying عُفُرَّة and عَفُرَّة.

Mentioned by Lth.

A smiling: [or rather a manner of smiling.]

See فُرَارٌ.

See فَارٌّ.

A ʿObeyd. Also, in this last sense, and in the first and second senses, فُرْفُرٌ and فُرْفُورٌ and فَرُورٌ and فُرَافِرٌ; or they signify lambs.

The female is termed فُرَارَةٌ. فُرَارٌ is a plural also, being applied to a plural number as well as to one; it is said to be the plural of فَرِيرٌ, and is of a rare plural form. It also signifies the small in body of the young ones of the goat kind; or, as some say, فَرِيرٌ signifies this.

IAar says that this last word signifies the young one of the wild animal, of the gazelle, of the bovine kind, and the like; and in one place he says that it signifies lambs.

Aboo-l-ʿAbbās, on the authority of IAar: فُرَارٌ and فُرَارَةٌ and فَرِيرٌ and فُرُرٌ and فُرْفُورٌ and فُرَافِرٌ signify the lamb when it is weaned, has become what is termed جَفْرٌ, has obtained plenty of herbage, and has grown fat.

Ibn-ʿAbbād: the last two signify a lamb (حَمَل; in the K جَمَل, a mistranscription) when it eats and chews the cud. [See also فُرْفُورٌ below.]

It is also said that فُرَارٌ signifies great بَهْم [apparently meaning lambs or kids], and that one of them is termed فُرْفُورٌ.

الفرار may with equal propriety be rendered the kid here.

A ʿObeyd, on the authority of El-Muārrij: الفرار here means the young one of the wild cow; that is, when the فرار attains to youthful vigour it takes to leaping, and when another sees it do so it leaps in the same way. The proverb is used of one whose companionship should be avoided: if you become his companion, you will do as he does. Some relate it otherwise, saying نَزْوَ, meaning نَزَا نَزْوَ الفُرَارِ. [See also a similar proverb in art. سفه, form 5.]

See فَارٌّ.

Applied to a woman: one who flees from what would cause doubt, suspicion, or ill opinion.

See فُرَارٌ, in four places.

Also: the place of the محَسَّة of the مَعْرَفَة [or the part, or flesh, upon which the mane grows] of the horse; or the base of the مَعْرَفَة of the horse.

So in a copy of the M (apparently مِحَسَّة, i. e. currycomb, as though meaning the part that is currycombed); in the K, of the مجَسَّة; and in the O, of the مجمّ, which last I think to be a mistranscription.

Mentioned by Sgh, and there said to be figurative.

See فَارٌ.

[A military force, or troop, &c.,] defeated; also فُلَّى.

Applied to a woman, the same as غَرَّآءُ, meaning beautiful in the front teeth.

See فَارٌّ.

In the diminutive form, with teshdeed: [a spinning-top;] a thing with which children play.

This, and فَرٌّ and فَرُورٌ and فَرُورَةٌ and فَرَّارٌ and فُرَرَةٌ, are adjectives from فَرَّ, with the meaning explained in the first sentence of this article: [the first and second meaning fleeing, or turning away or aside to elude, and fleeing; the third, fifth, and sixth, fleeing much; and the fourth, fleeing very much.]

But فَرٌّ is applied to one, to two, and to more, and to a female; it has no dual and no plural [and no feminine form]; the singular [and dual] and plural [and masculine and feminine] are alike, as it is a maṣdar used as an adjective; and it may be a plural [or rather an ism jamʿ] of فَارٌّ, as رَكْبٌ is of رَاكِبٌ, and صَحْبٌ of صَاحِبٌ, or شَرْبٌ of شَارِبٌ.

Said by Surākah Ibn-Mālik, in the tradition about the Flight, when he saw the Prophet and Aboo-Bekr fleeing to El-Medeeneh and they passed by him. (A ʿObeyd)

See فَرْفَارٌ.

See فُرْفُورٌ, in two places.

See the entry that follows.

A breaker [or mangler] of everything; also فُرَافِرٌ.

Also a species of tree, hard, enduring fire well, of which are made [bowls such as are termed] قِصَاع and عِسَاس.

AHn says it is a great kind of tree; it grows tall like the دُلْب; its leaves are like those of the almond tree; it has blossoms like the red rose; and it grows thick, so that great [bowls such as are termed] عِسَاس and أَقْدَاح are turned from it. When its tree grows old, its wood becomes black like ebony; it is a hard wood that blunts iron, and the bowls made of it are thin and light and of pleasant smell. Small saddles, called مَخَاصِر, plural of مِخْصَرَةٌ, for excellent she-camels, were also made of it, and the curved pieces of wood of these amounted in price to two hundred dirhems.

And a sort of vehicle, or saddle, for women and for pastors, resembling the حَوِيَّة and سَوِيَّة [described in arts. حوى and سوى].

See the entry just before this one.

See فُرَارٌ, in three places.

[It is said that] it signifies a fat جَمَل.

Thus in copies of the K [an evident mistranscription for حَمَل, i. e. lamb, as is indicated in the TA by the addition: such as has become what is termed جَفْرٌ].

Also, and فُرَافِرٌ: parched meal prepared from the يَنبُوت [a tree described in art. نبت; see also غَافٌ], i. e. from its fruit; or, as some say, from the ينبوت of ʿOmān.

[Purple;] a certain sort of colour.

[Of a purple colour]; applied in the TA as an adjective to the flower of the فَاوَانِيَا [or peony].

A horse that moves about, or agitates, the bit in his mouth; Z adds: in order to get it loose from his head.

A maṣdar of فَرَّ. [See the first and second sentences of this article.]

See the entry just before this one.

[Making to flee, &c. See its verb, form 4.]

[Originally an instrumental noun, and hence:] a horse fit for fleeing upon, or excellent in fleeing.

This, and مُفَرَّرٌ: examined, looked into, searched into, inquired about, or interrogated.
