Lh mentions حَرِرْتَ يَا رَجُلُ, aor. ـَ inf. n. حِرَّةٌ [perhaps a mistake for حَرَّةٌ] and حَرَارَةٌ: [app. in the same sense:] ISd says, I think he means [from] الحَرُّ, not الحُرِّيَّةُ. (TA.) And حَرَرٌ [an inf. n. of the same verb] signifies The liver's becoming dry from thirst or grief. (TA.) A2: حَرَّ, sec. Pers\. حَرِرْتَ, aor. ـَ (S, A, * Mgh, Msb, K,) inf. n. حَرَارٌ, (S, Mgh, Msb, K,) He (a slave, S) became free: (S, A, Mgh, Msb, K:) and ↓ تحرّر in the same sense is agreeable with analogy.

Hence, in a trad., ذُرِّى وَأَنَا أَحِرُّ لَكِ Sprinkle thou the flour, and I will make of it حريرة for thee. (TA.) 2 حرّر, inf. n. تَحْرِيرٌ, He freed, liberated, or emancipated, a slave. (A, Mgh, Msb.) and حرّر رَقَبَةً He freed a neck [i. e. a slave]. (S, K.) b2: Also He set apart a child for the worship of God and the service of the mosque or oratory: (S, TA:) or he devoted him to the service of the church as long as he should live, so that he could not relinquish it while he retained his religion. (TA.) b3: Also, inf. n. as above, (tropical:) He made a writing &c. accurate, or exact; (S, K;) he made a writing beautiful, or elegant, and free from defects, by forming its characters rightly, and rectifying its faults: (A:) he wrote a writing well, or elegantly, and accurately, or exactly; (TK;) he wrote well, or elegantly: (KL:) and he made an account, or a reckoning, accurate, without mistake, and without omission, and without erasure.

A2: Also He (God) made a man's liver to become dry by reason of thirst or grief. (TA.) And He made a man's bosom thirsty; as in the saying, used by the Arabs in cursing a man, مَا لَهُ أَحَرَّ اللّٰهُ صَدْرَهُ [What aileth him? May God make his bosom thirsty]: or the meaning is هَامَتَهُ [app. here used as signifying the bird called هَامَة, in the form of which the soul was believed to issue from a slain man, and to call incessantly for drink until the slaughter of the slayer]. (TA.) 5 تَحَرَّّ see 1.10 استحرّ (S, K) and ↓ حَرَّ (S, TA) (tropical:) It (slaughter) was, or became, vehement, (S, K,) and great in extent; (TA;) and the same is said of death. (TA.)

حِرٌ: see حِرٌّ, below; and see also art. حرح.

حِرِىٌّ: see art. حرح.

حَرٌّ Heat; contr. of بَرْدٌ; (S, A, Mgh, Msb, K;) as also ↓ حَرَارَةٌ, (S, * Msb, * K,) contr. of بُرُودَةٌ; (S;) and ↓ حُرُورٌ (S, * Msb, * K) and ↓ حِرَّةٌ: (TA:) [see 1, first sentence:] pl. [of the first]

حُرُورٌ and ↓ أَحَارِرُ; (K;) the latter anomalous, both as to its measure and in the non-incorporation of the first ر into the second: it is mentioned on the authority of Az and others; but IDrd doubts its correctness; and the author of the Wá'ee mentions أَحَارُّ as a pl. form, but apparently to avoid contrariety to rule: the pl. of ↓ حَرَارَةٌ as a simple subst., or as an inf. n., but more probably as the former, is حَرَارَاتٌ. (TA.) b2: (assumed tropical:) A burning of the heart, from pain and wrath and distress or affliction or trouble or fatigue. (TA.) [See also حَرَارَةٌ.] b3: (assumed tropical:) Difficulty, or severity, of work. (TA.) A2: See also حَارٌّ: A3: and حَرَّةٌ: A4: and سَاقُ حُرٍّ, voce حُرٌّ.

حُرٌّ Free, ingenuous, or free-born; contr. of عَبْدٌ: (S, A, Mgh, Msb, K:) fem. حُرَّةٌ: (S, Mgh, Msb, K:) pl. masc. أَحْرَارٌ (Msb, K) and حِرَارٌ; (IJ, K;) not حَرَارٌ, as some say; nor is حِرَارٌ an inf. n. as well as a pl., as others say: (MF:) pl. fem. حَرَائِرُ, (Msb, K,) contr. to analogy, and, as Suh says, the only instance of the kind except شَجَرٌ مَرَائِرُ as pl. of شَجَرَةٌ مُرَّةٌ; for the [regular] pl. of فُعْلَةٌ is فْعَلٌ; but حُرَّةٌ has this form of pl. because it is syn. with كَرِيمَةٌ and عَقِيلَةٌ [as will be seen in what follows]; and مُرَّةٌ, because it means خَبِيثَةُ الطَّعْمِ. (Msb.) Omar said to the women who used to go forth to the mosque, لَأَرُدَّنَّكْنَّ حَرَائِرَ [lit. I will assuredly make you to become free women]; meaning I will assuredly make you to keep to the houses: for the curtain is lowered before free women; not before slavewomen. (TA.) [See also حُرِّيَّةٌ.] b2: (tropical:) Generous, noble, or well-born; like as عَبْدٌ is used to signify “ ignoble,” or “ base-born: ” (Mgh:) and so the fem. حُرَّةٌ; (S, Mgh, K;) applied to a woman; (TA;) and to a she-camel: (S:) and so the masc. applied to a horse. (K, TA.) [Hence,] بَاتَتْ بِلَيْلَةِ حُرَّةٍ (tropical:) [She passed a virgin's night] is said of her whose husband has not been able to devirginate her (S, A, K) in the night when she has been first brought to him: (TA:) because the حُرَّة is modest and repugnant: (Har p. 418:) in the contr. case one says, بِلَيْلَةِ شَيْبَآءَ: (S, L:) and one says also بِلَيْلَةٍ حُرَّةٍ; and بِلَيْلَةٍ شَيْبَآءَ. (TA.) [And hence,] لَيْلَةُ حُرَّة and لَيْلَةٌ حُرَّةٌ signify also (assumed tropical:) The first night of the [lunar] month: (K:) its last night is called لَيْلَةُ شَيْبَآءَ and لَيْلَةٌ شَيْبَآءُ. (TA.) You say also وَجْهٌ حُرٌّ (tropical:) [app. meaning An ingenuous countenance]. (A.) b3: (tropical:) Generous, or ingenuous, in conduct: as in the saying of Imra-el-Keys, لَعَمْرُكَ مَا قَلْبِى إِلَى أَهْلِهِ بِحْرْ [By thy life, my heart is not generous in conduct to its, or his, companion]; meaning that it is averse therefrom, and inclines to another. (Az, TA.) [Hence,] سَحَابَةٌ حُرَّةٌ (tropical:) A cloud bountiful with rain; (A;) or abounding with rain. (S, K.) b4: (tropical:) A good deed or action. (K, TA.)

(A.) b6: (tropical:) Good earth, or clay, and sand: (K, TA:) or earth, or clay, in which is no sand: (S, A:) and sand in which is no earth or clay: (S:) or sand that has good herbage: (A:) you say رَمْلَةٌ حُرَّةٌ; (S, A;) and the pl. is حَرَائِرُ: (S:) or sand in which is no mixture of any other thing: (Msb: [accord. to which, this is the primary meaning of the word, whence the meaning of “ free,” i. e. the “ contr. of عَبْدٌ: ” but accord. to the A and TA, it is tropical:]) and أَرْضٌ حُرَّةٌ (tropical:) land in which is no salt earth: (A:) or in which is no sand: as applied to that upon which no tithe is levied, it is post-classical. (Mgh.) b7: (tropical:) The middle, (S, A, K,) and best part, (TA,) of sand, (S, K, TA,) and of a house. (S, A, TA.) b8: (assumed tropical:) The best of anything; (K, TA;) as, for instance, of fruit. (TA.) b9: Also sing. of أَحْرَار in the term أَحْرَارُ البُقُولِ, (TA,) which means (tropical:) Herbs, or leguminous plants, that are eaten without being cooked; (S, A;) as also البُقُولِ ↓ حُرِّيَّةُ: (A:) or such as are slender and succulent; and ذُكُورُ البُقُولِ means “ such as are thick and rough: ” (AHeyth:) or the former are such as are slender and soft; and the latter, “such as are hard and thick: ” (TA in art. عشب:) or the former are such as are slender and sweet; and the latter, “ such as are thick, and inclining to bitterness: ” (TA in art. ذكر:) or the former are such as are rough; and these are three, namely, النَّفَلُ and الحُرْبُثُ and القَفْعَآءُ: or الحُرُّ is applied to a plant of the kind called النَّجِيل, growing in salt grounds. (TA.) b10: حُرُّ الوَجْهِ (tropical:) What appears of the face: (K, TA:) or what appears of the elevated part of the cheek; (S;) [i. e.] the ball, or most prominent place, of the cheek; (W p. 28;) and ↓ الحُرَّةُ signifies [the same, or] the elevated part of the cheek: (TA:) or the former is what fronts one, of the face: or the four tracks of the tears, from each corner of each eye. (TA.) One says, لَطَمَهُ عَلَى حُرِّ وَجْهِهِ (tropical:) [He slapped him on the ball of his cheek]. (S, TA. *) A2: The young one of a gazelle. (S, K.) b2: The young one of a serpent: (S, K:) or of a slender serpent: or it is a slender serpent, like the جَانّ, of a white colour: or a white serpent: or a serpent, absolutely. (TA.) b3: The young one of a pigeon: (S, K:) or the male thereof. (TA.) b4: سَاقُ حُرٍّ [is said to signify] The male of the قَمَارِىّ [or kind of collared turtle-doves of which the female is called قُمْرِيَّة (see قُمْرِىٌّ)]: (S, Msb, K:) Homeyd Ibn-Thowr says, وَمَا هَاجَ هٰذَا الشَّوْقَ إِلَّا حَمَامَةٌ دَعَتْ سَاقَ حُرٍّ تَرْحَةً وَتَرَنُّمَا [And nothing excited this desire but a pigeon (see حَمَامٌ) that called ساق حرّ, sorrowing and warbling]: or, accord. to IJ, the right reading is دَعَتْ سَاقَ حُرٍّ فِى حَمَامٍ تَرَنُّمَا [that called ساق حرّ among other pigeons, warbling]: but some say that الساق is the pigeon; and حرّ, its young one: or ساق حرّ is the cry of the قمارىّ, and is an onomatopœia: accord. to Aboo-'Adnán, it is ↓ ساق حَرّ, and means the warbling of the pigeon: and Sakhr El-Gheí makes it a compound, and indecl.; using the phrase, تُنَادِى

سَاقَ حُرَّ [she calls ساق حرّ]: on which IJ observes, As says, ساق حرّ is thought to mean the young one of the bird; but it is her cry: and he (IJ) adds, the fact that the poet [Sakhr] does not make it decl. is an evidence of the correctness of the assertion of As; for, were it decl., he would have said سَاقَ حُرٍّ if it consisted of two nouns whereof the former was prefixed to the other so as to govern it in the gen. case, or ساق حُرًّا if it were a compound; as it is indeterminate: and its being made decl. by Homeyd does not show it to be not significant of a sound; for sometimes an expression significant of a sound consists of two nouns whereof the former is prefixed to the latter so as to govern it in the gen. case, like خَازُ بَازٍ. (M, MF, TA.) حِرٌّ (Msb, K) and ↓ حِرٌ (S, Mgh, Msb, and K, in art. حرح) The vulva, or pudendum, of a woman: (Msb, K:) the former a dial. var. of the latter; (K;) originally حِرْحٌ [q. v.].

(S, K.) One says, رَمَاهُ اللّٰهُ بِالحِرَّةِ تَحْتَ القِرَّةِ (A, K) May God afflict him by thirst with cold: and بِالحِرَّةِ وَالقِرَّةِ by thirst and cold. (TA.) And أَشَدُّ العَطَشِ حِرَّةٌ عَلَى قِرَّةٍ The most severe of thirst is thirst in a cold day. (S.)
