دحرج

Q. 1 دَحْرَجَ, inf. n. دَحْرَجَةٌ and دِحْرَاجٌ, (S, L, K,) [He rolled a thing along: and] he rolled a thing down. (L, K.) b2: [And He rounded a thing; made it round: see the pass. part. n., below.]Q. 2 تَدَحْرَجَ quasi-pass. of Q. 1; (S, L, K;) [It (a thing) rolled along: and] it rolled down. (L, K.) b2: [And It became round.]

دُحْرُوجَةٌ The little ball [of dung] that is rolled along by the جُعَل [or species of black beetle called cantharus, and in which it deposits its eggs]: (S, K:) pl. دَحَارِيجُ. (S.) b2: It also signifies ما تدحرج من القدر: [so in the L and TA: but the following verse, cited as an ex. of this signification, suggests that القدر is probably a mistranscription for القُرْدِ or القُرُدِ, i. e. “ ticks; ”

to which, in several different stages of growth, the Arabs apply different appellations: (see حَمْنَانٌ:) and this is rendered more probable by the fact that, in the L, د and ر are often written almost exactly alike: if so, the meaning is (assumed tropical:) A round tick; or a tick that has become round: likened, I suppose, to the little ball of dung above mentioned:] pl. as above: En-Nábighah says, أَضْحَتُ يُنَفِّرُهَا الوِلْدَانُ مِنْ سَبَأٍ

كَأَنَّهُمْ تَحْتَ دَفَّيْهَا دَحَارِيجُ [app. describing a she-camel, and meaning, She became so that the children of Seba scared her away, as though they were round ticks biting her beneath her two sides]. (L, TA. [This verse is also cited in the M and TA in art. سبأ; but not there explained.]) مُدَحْرَجٌ pass. part. n. of Q. 1 [as meaning Rolled along: and rolled down]. (TA.) b2: [And] Rounded; or round; syn. مُدَوَّرٌ. (S, K.) المُدَحْرِجُ [The roller; meaning] the جُعَل [or species of black beetle mentioned above, voce دُحْرُوجَةٌ]. (IAar, TA.) b2: هَالِبُ الشَّعْرِ and مُدَحْرِجُ البَعْرِ are [Two] days of winter. (K in art. هلب.)

غربل

(So in several copies of the K and in the TA.) b4: And غربل القَوْمَ He slew, and crushed [lit. ground], the people, or company of men. (K.)

يُغَرْبَلُ النَّاسُ فِيهِ (O, * TA) i. e. [How will it be with you when ye shall be in a time when men] shall be slain, and crushed? (TA:) or the meaning is, when the best of them shall be taken away and the worst of them shall remain; like as is done by the sifter of wheat? (O, TA:) or, in the opinion of Suh, as he says in the R, when they shall be searched to the utmost, and pursued one after another? agreeably with the saying of Mek-hool Ed-Dimashkee, دَخَلْتُ الشَّأْمَ فَغَرْبَلْتُهَا غَرْبَلَةً

حَتَّى لَمْ أَدَعْ عِلْمًا إِلَّا حَوَيْتُهُ [I entered Syria, and searched it to the utmost in such a manner that I left not a science but I acquired it]. (TA.) b5: And غُرْبِلَ القَتِيلُ The slain man became swollen, or inflated, and raised his legs. (TA.) غَرْبَالٌ [A sieve;] a certain thing well known; (S, O;) the thing with which one sifts: (K:) pl. غَرَابِيلُ. (O.) b2: And (O, K, TA) hence, as being likened thereto in respect of its circular shape, (TA,) A tambourine: (O, K, TA:) whence the trad., أَعْلِنُوا النِّكَاحَ وَاضْرِبُوا عَلَيْهِ بِالْغِرْبَالِ [Publish ye the marriage, and beat for it the tambourine]. (O, TA.) b3: And (tropical:) One who makes known what has been told him, in a malicious, or mischievous, manner, so as to occasion discord, or dissension. (K, TA.) غِرْبِيلٌ a word said to signify A sparrow: occurring in the saying, in a trad. of Ibn-EzZubeyr, أَتَيْتُمُونِى فَاتِحِى أَفْوَاهِكُمْ كَأَنَّكُمُ الغِرْبِيلُ [Ye came, or have come, to me opening your mouths as though ye were the sparrow]. (TA.) مُغَرْبَلٌ [Sifted. b2: And hence, app.,] Dispersed, or scattered. (TA.) b3: And The low, base, vile, or mean, (K, TA,) of men; as though he had come forth from the غِرْبَال [or sieve].
