Sgh,
TA;) as also ↓ أَنْثَرَ,
accord. to some: (
TA:) or ↓ أَنْثَرَ signifies he ejected what was in his nose; or he emitted his breath from his nose; or he introduced the water into his nose; as also ↓ انتثر and ↓ استنثر: (
K:) but this last explanation is outweighed in authority; the form ↓ انثر is disallowed by the leading lexicologists; and the author of the
K, in respect of this form, follows
Sgh, without due consideration: (
TA:) [
accord. to the more approved opinion,) نَثَرَ signifies he scattered what was in his nose by the breath; as also ↓ انتثر and ↓ استنثر: (

IAth,
K) by the breath of the nose: (
T,
M,
K:)
accord. to some, نَثَرَ and ↓ استنثر signify he (a person performing وُضُوْء) snuffed up water: but others say that the latter signifies he ejected what was in his nose, of mucus &c.; agreeably with a
trad. to be cited below: (
Msb:)
IAar says, that ↓ استنثر signifies he snuffed up water, and put in motion the نَثْرَة, or end of the nose, in purification: (
T [in the
Mgh, this explanation is ascribed to
Fr:]) and
Fr, that نَثَرَ and ↓ انتثر and ↓ استنثر signify he put in motion the نَثْرَة, in purification. (
T.) It is said of Mohammad, كَانَ يَسْتَنْشِقُ ثَلَاثًا فِى كُلِّ مَرَّةٍ يَسْتَنْثِرُ [He used to snuff up water three times, every time ejecting it; &c.] and this indicates that ↓ استنثر differs from استنشق. (
T,
Mgh,
Msb.) And it is said in a
trad., إِذَا اسْتَنْشَقْتَ فَانْثُرْ, (
S,
Msb,) and فَانْثِرْ, with the conjunctive ا, and with damm and kesr to the ث, (
Msb,) When thou snuffest up water, scatter what is in thy nose by the breath; (
S;) or eject what is in thy nose, of mucus, &c.: (
Msb:) or, as

inf. n. إِنْثَارٌ: (
Msb:) or, as he relates it إِذَا تَوَضَّاتَ فَأَنْثِرْ, with the disjunctive ا; and he does not explain it; but the lexicologists do not allow ↓ أَنْثَرَ, from الإِنْثَارُ; one only says, نَثَرَ and ↓ انتثر and ↓ استنثر. (
T.) No instance of ↓ استنثر used transitively has been heard, except in a
trad. of El-Hasan Ibn-'Alee, أَنْفَهُ ↓ اِسْتَنْثَرَ [He ejected the contents of his nose; or he blew his nose]; as though the root [نَثَرَ] were regarded in it, or as though it were made to import the meaning of نَقَّى. (
Mgh.) 2 نَثَّرَ see 1, first signification.
3 نَاْثَرَ [ناثرهُ He contended with him in scattering, strewing, or dispersing, a thing or things. and hence,]
