(TA.) A2: رَجَلٌ غِرَآءٌ means A man who has not a beast [to carry him] (لَا دَابَّةَ لَهُ). (K.) غَرِىٌّ Made to adhere; syn. مُلْصَقٌ. (TA voce عَرِيرٌ.) b2: [And hence, (assumed tropical:) An adherent. (See عَرِيرٌ.) b3: Hence also, Daubed, smeared, or rubbed over; as will be shown in the course of this paragraph. (See also مَغْرُوٌّ.) b4: ] And The goodly, or beautiful, (S, K, TA,) in respect of face, (TA,) of mankind, (S, K, TA,) and the goodly, or beautiful, of others than mankind: and [particularly] a goodly building: (K, TA:) and hence. b5: الغَرِيَّانِ Two well-known buildings, in El-Koofeh, (K, TA,) at Eth-Thaweeyeh, where is the tomb of 'Alee, the Prince of the Faithful, asserted to have been built by one of the Kings of El-Heereh: (TA:) or two tall buildings, said to be the tombs of Málik and Akeel, the two cup-companions of Jedheemeh ElAbrash; thus called because En-Noamán Ibn-El-Mundhir used to smear them (كَانَ يُغَرِّيهِمَا) with the blood of him whom he slew when he went forth in the day of his evil fortune [or ill omen, the story of which is well known], (S, TA.) b6: الغَرِىُّ is also the name of A certain idol [or object of idolatrous worship, app. from what here follows, a mass of stone, like as اللَّاتُّ is said to have been by some, and like as were several other objects of worship of the pagan Arabs], with which [probably meaning with the blood on which] one used to smear himself, and upon which one used to sacrifice [victims]. (TA.) b7: And غَرِىٌّ signifies also A certain red dye. (TA.) غُرَاوَى i. q. رَغْوَةٌ [i. e. Froth]: (K, TA: [الغُراءىٰ in the CK is a mistranscription:]) app. formed by transposition; for رُغَاوَى has been mentioned [in art. رغو] as syn. with رَغْوَةٌ: (TA:) pl. with fet-h [i. e. غَرَاوَى]. (K, TA.) هُوَ مُغْرًى بِهِ, from أَغْرَاهُ بِهِ [q. v.], He is made to become attached to it, or fond of it; &c. (TA.) مَغْرُوٌّ [pass. part. n. of غَرَا, q. v.; Glued, &c. b2: Hence, for سَهْمٌ مَغْرُوٌّ, lit. A glued arrow, meaning an arrow having the feathers glued upon it, i. e.] a feathered arrow. (Meyd in explanation of what here follows.) It is said in a prov., أَدْرِكْنِى وَلَوْ بِأَحَدِ المُغْرُوَّيْنِ, meaning [Reach thou me, though] with one of the two [feathered] arrows: or, as Th says, with an arrow or with a spear: (S:) El-Mufaddal says, there were two brothers, of the people of Hejer, a people to whom the Arabs ascribe stupidity, and one of those two rode an intractable she-camel, and the one that did not ride had with him a how, and his name was Huneyn; so the one that was riding called to him, and said, يَا هُنَيْنُ وَيْلَكَ انْزِلْنِى وَلَوْ بِأَحَدِ المَغْرُوَّيْنِ, [in which انزلنى seems to be a mistranscription for ادركنى,] meaning, with his arrow; whereupon his brother shot at him and laid him prostrate; and his saying became a prov., applied on an occasion of necessity, or difficulty, and of the after failing of stratagem. (Meyd.) One says also قَوْسٌ مَغْرُوَّةٌ [A glued bow] (S, Msb, K) and ↓ مَغْرِيَّةٌ. (S, K.) قَوْسٌ مَغْرِيَّةٌ: see what next precedes.
