رعف
1 رَعَفَ,
aor. ـَ and رَعُفَ, (
S,
K,)
inf. n. رَعْفٌ, (
TK,) He (a horse) preceded; went, or got, before; outwent, outran, or outstripped; as also ↓ استرعف, (
S,
K,) and ↓ ارتعف. (
K.) [This is held by some, and is said in the
O, to be the primary signification: see رُعَافٌ.]
b2: رَعِفَ الدَّمُ,
aor. ـَ The blood flowed. (
K.) And رَعَفَ أَنْفُهُ His nose bled; blood flowed from his nose: this is the chaste form of the verb: رُعِفَ, from which is formed the part.
n. مَرْعُوفٌ, is incorrect; (
Mgh;) unknown to
As: (
O:) [or] رَعَفَ alone,
aor. ـُ and رَعَفَ, has this last signification; as also رَعُفَ, (
S,
O, *
Msb,
K,) but this is a
dial. var. of weak authority, (
S,
O,) or is rare; (
Msb;) and رَعِفَ,
aor. ـَ and رُعِفَ [mentioned above as incorrect]; (
K;) and the
inf. n. is رَعْفٌ (
Msb,
K) and رُعَافٌ, (
K,) or the latter is a simple
subst. (
Msb.) [And hence رَعَفَ signifies also (assumed
tropical:) It (a vessel, such as a skin,) overflowed:] see 4, in two places.
b3: رَعَفَ بِهِ البَابَ He entered with him the door. (
O,
K.) 2 رَعَّفَ see the next paragraph, in two places.

b2: [and He, or it, made his nose to bleed, or flow with blood: often used in this sense; as in the
S and A and
K voce أَنْثَرَ, and in the
L and
K voce لَبْخَةٌ: and so ↓ رعّفه:
accord. to Ibn-Maaroof,] the
inf. ns. إِرْعَافٌ and ↓ تَرْعِيفٌ signify the bringing blood from the nose. (
KL.)
b3: And ارعف القِرْبَةَ He filled the skin (
S,
O,
K) so that it overflowed (↓ حَتَّى تَرْعُفَ): (
S, O:) whence the saying of a rájiz, ['Amr Ibn-Leja, so in a copy of the
S,] أَعْلَاهَا مِنِ امْتِلَائِهَا ↓ يَرْعُفُ [Its upper part overflows, or overflowing, by reason of its fulness]. (

b2: اِسْتِرْعَافٌ also signifies The drawing forth blood from the nose. (

inf. n. is explained in the
KL by the words خون برآوردن از بينى; which I have rendered above.])

b2: and hence, The issuing of blood from the nose: (
O, *
Msb:) or,
accord. to some, (
Msb,) blood itself, issuing, or that issues, from the nose: (
S,
O, *
Msb,
K:) because it issues before one knows it. (
Msb.) رُعُوفٌ [a

L and
TA to which I have had access.]
