muḍāriʿـُيَفْعُلُmaṣdarنَقْرٌ إِنْقَارٌ

Core sense — he (a bird) pecked at a thing; he bored or engraved it; he made a snapping soundgenerated

1.1he (a bird) pecked, or picked up, a grain from this place and that with his beak—بِمِنْقَارِهِ

.

According to the TA, the addition "from this place and that", which is found in the K and A, and in one place in the S, seems unnecessary.

And انتقر has the same meaning: see form 8, in art. قب.

1.1.1figurative · مجاز

Because of the sure aim with which a bird pecks a thing, the same verb, with the same muḍāriʿ and maṣdar, means: it (an arrow) hit the butt.

And: he (an archer) hit the butt without making his arrow pass through it, partly or wholly.

1.1.2figurative · مجاز — inferred

He took, or picked, a thing, such as food, with the finger.

1.1.3he struck, or pecked, a mill-stone or a stone with a pick—مِنْقَار

That is, he wrought the stone into shape and roughened its surface with a pick.

With the same muḍāriʿ and maṣdar: he struck a thing with a thing; generally, he struck, knocked, or pecked a thing with a pointed instrument, as a bird strikes a thing with its beak.

1.1.4figurative · مجازhe wrote, or engraved writing, upon a stone—فِى حَجَرٍ
teaching in infancy is like engraving writing upon stone—التَّعْلِيمُ فِى الصِّغَرِ كَالنَّقْرِ عَلَى الحَجَرِ

Also given, in a verse of Niftaweyh, as فِى الحَجَرِ.

1.1.5he flicked his ear with his finger—أَنْقَرَ أُذُنَهُ

He struck, or flicked, a man's head with his finger, and in the same way a lute or a tambourine.

So AA, in art. نطب.

1.1.6figurative · مجازhe made a snapping with his thumb and middle finger—نَقَرَ

.

he struck his thumb against the end of the middle finger and made a sound with them—أَنْقَرَ
he put the end of his thumb against the inner side of his first finger, then made a snapping with it—وَضَعَ طَرَفَ إِبْهَامِهِ عَلَى بَاطِنِ سَبَّابَتِهِ ثُمَّ نَقَرَهَا

The first verb is used transitively in the same way.

See also نَقْرٌ below.

1.1.7figurative · مجازhe made a slight smacking sound to set the horse in motion—نَقَرَ بِالدَّابَّةِ
he made a slight smacking sound to set the beast in motion, by making his tongue stick to his palate and then suddenly drawing it away—بِالفَرَسِ

.

he made the same sound—أَنْقَرَ

.

Or: he struck with his tongue the place of utterance of the letter ن and made a smacking sound by suddenly withdrawing it.

نَقْرٌ is the making of the end of the tongue stick to the palate and then making a sound by suddenly withdrawing it; or one's putting his tongue above the central incisors, at the part next the palate, then making a smacking sound (so I render ثُمَّ يَنْقُر); or an agitation of the tongue in the mouth, upwards and downwards; or a sound, or slight sound, by which a horse is set in motion.

The Arabs of the present day commonly make these sounds, which are nearly the same, in urging on beasts of carriage.

IKtt says that نَقَرَ بِلِسَانِهِ means he struck his palate with his tongue to quiet the horse; but this disagrees with what Az, J and ISd say, and needs consideration.

A poet, Fedekee El-Minkaree, that is, 'Obeyd Ibn-Máweeyeh, of the tribe of Teiyi, uses النَّقُرْ for النَّقْرْ, meaning النَّقْرُ بِٱلْخَيْلِ, the smacking with the tongue to urge on the horses. Pausing after the word, at the end of a hemistich, he transfers the vowel of the ر to the ق, following the dialect of certain of the Arabs, so that the hearer may know it to be the vowel of the final letter when there is no pause; as one says هٰذَا بَكْرُ and مَرَرْتُ بِبَكِرْ. But this is not done when the word is in the accusative case, and if you choose you may make the final letter sākin in pausing, even though it is preceded by a sākin letter.

1.1.8figurative · مجازfor when the horn shall be blown—فَإِذَا نُقِرَ فِى النَّاقُورِ

Qur 74:8. From نَقْرٌ, meaning the making of a sound; originally striking, which is the cause of sound.

See also نَاقُورٌ below.

1.1.9he bored, or perforated, a thing; he made a hole in it—نَقَرَ

Or he did so with a مِنْقَار.

With the: he hollowed out, or excavated, a piece of wood.

it was bored, or had a hole made in it; it was hollowed out—نُقِرٌ

Also اِنْتَقَرَ, or أُنْتُقِرَ; both passive, said of stone, of wood and the like, with the same meaning.

he made a hole in the egg, so as to disclose the young bird—نَقَرَ البَيْضَةَ عَنِ الفَرْخِ

.

the horses made hollows in the ground with their hoofs—نَقَرَت الخَيْلُ

Also said as انتقرت بحوافرها نُقَرًا.

the torrents left hollows in the ground in which water was retained—انتقرت السُّيُولُ نُقَرًا
1.1.10figurative · مجازhe searched into the thing, examined it, and tried to know it—نَقَرَ عَنِ الأَمْرِ

Maṣdars تَنْقِيرٌ, نقّرهُ, تنقّرهُ and انتقرهُ.

he searched into the thing, examined it, and tried to know it—نقّر عَنْهُ
he investigated the news and tried to know it—نَقَرَ عَنِ لخَبَرِ
he tried the sonorific quality of the arrow by turning it round between his fingers, or upon his thumb—نقّر السَّهْمَ بَيْنَ إِصْبَعَيْهِ

Mentioned in art. حن.

Or عَلَى الإِبْهَامِ, with maṣdar تَنْقِيرٌ, mentioned in art. دوم.

See حَنَّانٌ and دَرَّ السَّهْمُ, and see also form 4 in art. دوم.

he made the arrow produce a sharp sound by turning it round upon his thumb—نقّر السَّهْمَ

, (S, A, Msb, K,) aor. نَقُرَ , inf. n. نَقْرٌ , (S, Msb,) He (a bird) pecked, or picked up, (S, A, Msb, K,) a grain, (S,) or grains, (A, Msb,) from this place and that, (A, K,) بِمِنْقَارِهِ with his beak. (A.) [Accord. to the TA, the addition “ from this place and that, ” which is found in the K and A, and in one place in the S, seems to be unnecessary. And انتقر signifies the same: see 8, in art. قب .] [Hence, because of the sure aim with which a bird pecks a thing,] the same verb, having the same [aor. and] inf. n. signifies, It (an arrow) hit the butt. (Msb.) And He (an archer) hit the butt, without making his arrow to pass through, partly or wholly. (TA.) [Hence also,] He took [or picked] a thing, as, for instance, food, with the finger. (TA.) Also, (M, K,) aor. and inf. n. as above, (M, TA,) He struck a thing (IKtt, K, * TA,) with a thing: (IKtt, TA:) [generally, he struck, knocked, or pecked, a thing with a pointed instrument, like as a bird strikes a thing with its beak:] he struck [or pecked] a mill-stone, or a stone, &c., with a مِنْقَار [which is a pick, or a kind of pickaxe; i. e., he wrought it into shape, and roughened it in its surface, with a pick]. (M, TA.) [Hence,] He wrote [or engraved writing] فِى حَجَرٍ upon a stone. (A, K.) Whence the saying, التَّعْلِيمُ فِى الصِّغَرِ كَالنَّقْرِ عَلَى الحَجَرِ [or, as in a verse of Niftaweyh, فِى الحَجَرِ , i. e., Teaching in infancy is like engraving writing upon stone]. (TA.) He struck [or fillipped] a man's head, and in like manner a lute, and a tambourine, with his finger. (TA.) You say also أَنْقَرَ أُذُنَهُ , meaning, He struck [or fillipped] his ear with his finger. (AA, in TA, art. نطب .) [Hence,] نَقَرَ , [aor. نَقُرَ , inf. n. نَقْرٌ , as appears from what follows;] and أَنْقَرَ ; [He made a snapping with his thumb and middle finger;] he struck his thumb against the end of the middle finger and made a sound with them. (A.) [And in like manner the former verb used transitively; as in the following instance:] وَضَعَ طَرَفَ إِبْهَامِهِ عَلَى بَاطِنِ سَبَّابَتِهِ ثُمَّ نَقَرَهَا [ He put the end of his thumb against the inner side of his first finger, then made a snapping with it].

(TA.) A poet, (S,) Fedekee El-Minkaree, (K,) i. e., 'Obeyd Ibn-Máweeyeh, of the tribe of Teiyi, (TA,) uses النَّقُرْ for النَّقْرْ , meaning النَّقْرُ بِٱلْخَيْلِ [The smacking with the tongue to urge the horses]: pausing after the word, at the end of a hemistich, he transfers the vowel of the ر to the ق , (S, K,) agreeably with the dial. of certain of the Arabs, (TA,) that the hearer may know it to be the vowel of the [final] letter when there is no pause; (S;) like as you say, هٰذَا بَكْرُ and مَرَرْتُ بِبَكِرْ : but this is not done when the word is in the accus. case (S, K:) and if you choose, you may make the final letter quiescent in pausing, though it is preceded by a quiescent letter. (S.) Hence also, فَإِذَا نُقِرَ فِى النَّاقُورِ [Kur, lxxiv. 8,] For when the horn shall be blown: (S, * A, * Bd, K:) from نَقْرٌ signifying the making a sound: originally, striking, which is the cause of sound. (Bd.) See also نَاقُورٌ , below. Also, نَقَرَ He bored, perforated, or made a hole through or in or into, a thing: (TA:) or he did so with a مِنْقَار : (S:) and, inf. n. نَقْرٌ , he hollowed out, or excavated, a piece of wood. (Mgh, Msb.) نُقِرٌ and اِنْتَقَرَ , (so in some copies of the K,) or أُنْتُقِرَ , (so in other copies of the K and in the TA,) both in the pass. form, (TA,) said of stone and of wood and the like, signify alike, (K,) It was bored, or perforated, or it had a hole made through or in or into it: (TA:) [and it was hollowed out.] You say, نَقَرَ البَيْضَةَ عَنِ الفَرْخِ , (K,) aor. نَقُرَ , inf. n. نَقْرٌ , (TA.) He made a hole in the egg [so as to disclose the young bird]. (K.) And نَقَرَت الخَيْلُ , (A,) and انتقرت بحوافرها نُقَرًا , (Lth, K,) The horses made hollows in the ground with their hoofs. (Lth, A, K.) And in like manner, انتقرت السُّيُولُ نُقَرًا The torrents left hollows in the ground, in which water was retained. (TA.) Hence, نَقَرَ عَنِ الأَمْرِ ; (Msb;) and نقّر عَنْهُ , (S, K,) inf. n. تَنْقِيرٌ ; (S;) and نقّرهُ ; and تنقّرهُ : and انتقرهُ ; (K;) He searched or inquired into the thing; investigated, scrutinized, or examined, it; (S, Msb, K, TA;) and endeavoured to know it: (TA;) and so نَقَرَ عَنِ لخَبَرِ he investigated the news, and endeavoured to know it.

Core sense — a snap of the fingers; a slight sound by which a horse is urged ongenerated

1figurative · مجازhe did not reward him with even a snap of the fingers—مَا أَثَابَهُ نَقْرَةٌ

A slight sound heard when the thumb is struck against the middle finger and they are then let fly apart in opposite directions; or the snapping with the fingers, or with the thumb and middle finger, or with the thumb and first finger; also نَقيرٌ, the ism waḥda of the first being formed with ة.

That is, with anything. In the S it is implied that نقرة so used comes from نَقْرٌ in the first of the meanings explained above. It is used in this way only in a negative phrase.

A poet says: [And they are not fit to reward you with anything, and you are fit for the fire of hell when you reward]

shāhid
وَهُنّ حَرَى أَلَّا يُثِبْنَكَ نقْرَةٌوَأَنْتَ حَرُى بِالنَّار حِينَ تُثِيبُ

Plural نُقَرٌ and نِقَارٌ.

نَقِيرٌ also means a hollow, or cavity, in the ground; its plural is أَنْقِرَةٌ.

1.1

Hence: the place where the قَمَحْدُوَة, or occiput, ends, at the back of the neck; that is, the hollow in the back of the neck, what is called نُقْرَةُ القَفَا, the hollow where the brain ends.

and they shall not be wronged even as to a little spot on the back of a date-stone—وَلَا يُظْلَمُونَ نَقِيرًا
they would not give men a thing as small as the little hollow in the back of a date-stone—لَا يُؤْتُونَ النَّاسَ نَقِيرًا

Or the stump, or lower part, of a palm-tree, which the people of El-Yemámeh used to hollow out; then they crushed in it ripe dates and unripe dates, which, with water poured on them, they left until fermentation had taken place in it and had subsided. So says A 'Obeyd.

Or the stump, or lower part, of a palm-tree, the middle of which was hollowed out; then dates were put in them, with water, which became intoxicating نبيذ.

The word is of the measure فَعِيلٌ in the sense of the measure مَفْعُولٌ.

It is said in a tradition that Mohammad forbade النَّقِير, meaning the نبيذ made in it.

2.2

A trunk of a palm-tree, hollowed out, with something like steps made in it, by which one goes up to غُرف, or upper chambers.

See also عَجَلَةٌ.

2.3

Core sense — the beak of a bird; a pick for cutting stonegenerated

1

The beak of a bird; what is to a bird what the mouth is to a man, because it pecks with it.

Or the beak of a bird that is not a bird of prey; that of a bird of prey is called مِنْسَرٌ. So in art. نسر, and MF.

The explanation in the K, that it is the مِنْسَر of a bird, is therefore incorrect.

The dual means the two mandibles of a bird, and is used in this sense in art. صغو.

Plural مَنَاقِيرُ.

1.1

Hence: the fore part of the خُفّ, apparently meaning the foot of a camel, not a boot.

1.2

A kind of pickaxe, or a pick, with which a mill-stone or the like is pecked, or wrought into shape and roughened on its surface; see form 1.

An iron instrument like the فَأْس, slender, round, and having a خَلْف, or pointed head, with which one pecks and cuts stones and hard earth; used also by a carpenter.

And مِنْقَرٌ means the same, or nearly the same, as مِعْوَلٌ; the latter is applied in the present day to a chisel.

Plural of the first, مَنَاقِيرُ; of the second, مَنَاقِرُ.

Dhu-r-Rummeh says: [Like mill-stones of Rakd, a mountain so called, which the minqārs have rounded]
