(A, K.) b2: Also, (IAar, S, Msb, K,) aor. as above, (Msb, K,) He broke his ثَغْر [or front teeth], (S, Msb, K,) or his teeth. (IAar, and TA as from the K.) And ثُغِرَ, in the pass. form, inf. n. ثُغُورٌ, He (a boy) had his ثَغْر [or front teeth] broken. (Msb.) b3: ثَغَرْتُ سِنَّهُ I pulled out his tooth.

(Msb.) b5: ثُغِرَ also signifies He had his mouth bruised; and so ↓ أُثْغِرَ. (K.) A2: ثَغَرَ الثُّلْمَةَ, aor. ـَ He stopped up, or obstructed, the gap, or breach: thus the verb bears two contr. significations. (K.) And ثَغَرْنَاهُمْ We stopped up, or obstructed, against them the gaps, or passes of the mountain; (S, TA;) we stopped up, or obstructed, against them the place of exit, so that they knew not what way to take.
