K,
TA, and disease and grief,
TA), made him to be such as is called مُهْتَرٌ; [i. e., made him to lose his reason, or intellect: or to be addicted to, or fond of, speaking of a thing: which latter signification seems to be particularly indicated in the lexicon from which this is taken; but the former seems the more appropriate.] (
K.) 3 هاترهُ, [
inf. n. مُهَاتَرَةٌ and هِتَارٌ,] He encountered him with mutual reviling, saying what was false: (
K, *
TA:) so says
IAmb, on the authority of
Az; but, says
Th,
accord. to others, المُهَاتَرَةُ signifies the saying [that] whereof one part contradicts, or annuls, another: and hence one says, دَعِ الهِتَارَ [leave the saying that whereof one part contradicts another]. (
TA.) 4 أُهْتِرَ He became disordered in his intellect: (
A,
TA:) or he became so by reason of old age: (

tropical:) He became addicted to, or fond of, such a thing, (
K,
TA,) not talking of any other thing, (

TA.)
b5: إِسْتَهْتَرَ بِفُلَانَةَ, [or أُسْتُهْتِرَ,] and بِهَا ↓ أَهْتَرَ, [or أُهْتِرَ,] (
