(TA.) b2: رَــفَوْــتُ الرَّجُلَ, (ISk, S, M,) third Pers\. رَفَا, (K,) [aor. and inf. n. as above,] (tropical:) I appeased, or quieted, or calmed, the man; (ISk, M, TA;) as also رَفَأْتُهُ; (M and K in art. رفأ;) [i. e.] I quieted the man's fear; (S, K, TA;) did away with his fear, like as one does away with a rent, or hole, by الرَّــفْو [i. e. darning]. (TA.) b3: And رَفَا, aor. ـْ (tropical:) He married, or took a wife; (TA;) and رَفَأَ is said to signify the same.

(T, S, M, K; all in art. رفأ.) 3 يُرَافِينِى means He agrees, or is of one mind or opinion, with me; [the inf. n.] مُرَافَاةٌ being syn. with اِتِّفَاقٌ, (S, TA,) or مُوَافَقَةٌ, (Az, M, TA,) as also رِفَآءٌ, (Az, TA,) this latter being thus made by Az an inf. n. [like the former]: (TA:) [or]

↓ رِفَآءٌ [is a simple subst., or is generally used as such, and] signifies close union, or coalescence; and concord, or agreement; (S, K, TA;) and good consociation: (TA:) and hence the saying, to one taking to himself a wife, (S, in the TA للملك [to the king],) بِالرِّفَآءِ وَالبَنِينَ [May it (the marriage) be with close union, &c., further expl. in art. رفأ]: (S, TA:) ISk says that it is originally with ء; (TA;) but if you will, he says, the meaning may be, with tranquillity, or freedom from disturbance or agitation; from رَــفَوْــتُ الرَّجُلَ

“ I appeased, or quieted, or calmed, the man. ” (S, TA.) b2: مُرَافَاةٌ is also syn. with مُدَارَاةٌ: and with مُحَابَاةٌ: as a dial. var. of مُرَافَأَةٌ: [i. e., رَافَاهُ signifies, like دَارَاهُ, He treated him with gentleness, or blandishment; soothed, coaxed, wheedled, or cajoled, him; &c.: and he treated him in an easy and a gentle manner in selling; or abated to him the price, or payment:] and accord. to IAar, ↓ ارفاهُ [also, like ارفأهُ,] is syn. with دَارَاهُ. (TA.) 4 أَرْفَيْتُ إِلَيْهِ I had recourse, or I betook myself, or repaired, to him, or it, for refuge, protection, preservation, concealment, covert, or lodging: (TA:) and I inclined to, or towards, him, or it: a dial. var. of أَرْفَأْتُ. (Fr, TA.) A2: أَرْفَيْتُ السَّفِينَةَ I brought the ship near to the land; a dial. var. of أَرْفَأْتُ.
