1 دَفِىَ, [aor. ـْ inf. n. دَفًا, He, or it, was, or became, such as is termed أَدْفَى, in any of the senses of this epithet. (M.) [See also 4.]

A2: دَفَوْتُ الجَرِيحَ, (S, K, TA, [in the CK, erroneously, دَفَيْتُ,]) aor. ـْ inf. n. دَفْوٌ; (S, TA;) and ↓ دَافَيْتُهُ and ↓ أَدْفَيْتُهُ; (A'Obeyd, S, K;) I despatched the wounded man; i. e. hastened and completed his slaughter; or made his slaughter sure, or certain: (A'Obeyd, S, K:) and so دَافَأْتُهُ and أَدْفَأْتُهُ (TA) [and دَافَقْتُهُ &c.: see 3 in art. دف]. Accord. to Ibn-Abi-l-Hadeed, دَفَى, [or rather دَفَا,] sometimes pronounced with ء, [دَفَأَ,] signifies He slew, in the dial. of Kináneh. (TA.) 3 دَاْفَوَ see 1.4 أَدْفَوَ see 1.

A2: It is related in a trad. that a captive was brought to the Prophet, (S, TA,) shivering by reason of cold, (TA,) and he said to some persons, اِذْهَبُوا بِهِ فَأَدْفُوهُ, meaning [Take ye him away and] clothe him so as to protect him from the cold; (S, TA;) for أَدْفِئُوهُ; because the pronunciation of ء was not of the dial. of Kureysh; but they thought that he meant slaughter; (TA;) and they took him away and slew him: therefore he paid the fine for his blood. (S, TA.) As is said in the K, أَدْفَيْتُ is a dial. var. of أَدْفَأْتُ. (TA.) A3: ادفى said of a gazelle, His horns were, or became, so long as almost to reach his hinder part. (T, K.)
