بره
1 بَرِهَ,
aor. ـَ
inf. n. بَرَهٌ, or, as in some copies of the
K, بَرَهَانٌ, (
TA, [and so I find in an excellent copy of the
K, but in the
CK بُرْهَان,]) His body returned to a healthy state, or his health of body returned to him, or his bodily condition became good, after having been altered by disease. (
IAar,
K. *) [The ه is perhaps a substitute for ء: see بَرِئَ.]
b2: And He was, or became, white in person, or body and members. (
K.)
b3: See also بَرَهٌ, below.
4 ابره He adduced the evidence or proof: (
Msb,
K:) but as to ↓ بَرْهَنَ, meaning he manifested the evidence or proof, it is said, on the authority of
IAar, to be
post-classical; the former being the correct word: (
AA,
T,
Z,
Msb,
TA:) or the former signifies he adduced, or uttered, or did, wonderful things, and overcame men. (
K.)
Q. Q., or, as some say,

K;) i. e. a space, or period, of time:
pl. of the former بُرَهٌ and بُرْهَاتٌ and بُرَهَاتٌ and بُرَهَاتٌ. (
Msb.) You say, أَتَتْ عَلَيْهِ بُرْهَةٌ مِنَ الدَّهْرِ and بَرْهَةٌ [A long space or period of time, or merely a space or period of time, passed over him]. (

TA.) Imra-el-Keys says, بَرَهْرَهَةٌ رُؤَدَةً رَخْصَةٌ كَخُرْعُويَةِ البَانَةِ المُنْفَطِرْ [White, or white and youthful, &c., soft, or beautiful, tender, like the shoot of the ben-tree breaking forth with leaves: the last word being made
masc. by poetic license, for the sake of the metre.]. (
S.)
