(TA.) b2: حَظَرَ الشَّىْءَ عَلَيْهِ It (anything intervening) debarred the thing from him. (L.) And حُظِرَ عَلَيْهِ كَذَا Such a thing was debarred from him, by something intervening.

(Mgh, TA.) 2 حَظَّرَ [حظّر, inf. n. تَحْظِيرٌ, app. signifies He made a limit of separation, or the like. For] زَمَنُ التَّحْظِيرِ (used as an era, Mgh) points to what 'Omar did, in dividing Wádi-l-Kurà among the Muslims and Benoo-'Odhrah, after the expulsion of the Jews: (Mgh, K, TA:) as though he assigned to every one a limit of separation.

(A.) And أَوْقَدَ فِى الحَظِرِ الرَّطْبِ (tropical:) He uttered calumny, or slander: (K:) or he went about with calumny, or slander, and foul conduct.

(K.) b8: And حَفَرَ, (S, A, K,) aor. as above, (S,) and so the inf. n., (S, A,) (assumed tropical:) He, or it, emaciated, or rendered lean: (S, K:) it (a copious flow of milk, TA) emaciated a she-goat: (K, TA:) (tropical:) he (a young camel) rendered his mother flabby in flesh by much sucking. (A.) There is no pregnant animal that pregnancy does not emaciate, except the camel: (S, A:) she fattens in pregnancy. (S.) A2: حَفَرَ He (a child) shed his رَوَاضِع [or milk-teeth]. (K, TA.)

(A.) IDrst says, in the Expos. of the Fs, that حَفَرَ, aor. ـِ inf. n. حَفْرَ فُوهُ, is trans.; and that the cause of حَفْر of the teeth, [or the agent of the verb حَفَرَ,] is old age, or the continuance of a yellow incrustation, [or tartar,] or some kind of canker that effects them: but that the verb in the phrase حَفِرَتْ سِنُّهُ, aor. ـَ inf. n. حَفَرٌ, is intrans. (MF.) [The truth probably is, that the former verb is both trans. and intrans., and hence حُفِرَتِ الأَسْنَانُ; and that the latter is intrans. only.] b4: And حَفِرَ, aor. ـَ (assumed tropical:) It was, or became, in a bad, corrupt, or unsound, state.

(TA.

يُحْفِرُ لِلْقٌرُوحِ [in the TA, تُحْفِر القُرُوح, which is an evident mistake,] meaning, he has his two corner nippers [in each jaw] in a wabbling, or loose, state: this is when he has completed five years: then the term إِبْدَآءٌ is applied to him as before described: then he is [also said to be]

(Msb.) b2: See also حَفِيرٌ.

حَفِيرٌ is of the measure فَعِيلٌ in the sense of the measure مَفْعُولٌ [meaning Dug, excavated, hollowed out, or cleared out, in the ground]. (TA.)

[such a thing]. (T.) The origin of the saying was this: horses were the most excellent (K) and precious (TA) of the things that they possessed; and they used not to sell them on credit: a man used to say the words above to another; meaning that its hoof should not remove until he received its price: (K:) and he who says عند الحافرة (since he makes الحافر to mean the beast, الدَّابَّة, itself, and since its use in this sense is frequent without the mention of ذَات [prefixed to it],) subjoins to it the sign [ة] of the fem. gender to show that ذَاتِ الحَافِرِ is meant by this name. (TA.) Or they used to say this on the occasion of racing and betting: and the meaning is, when the horse's hoof first falls upon the dug ground [at the goal]: (Abu-l-'Abbás, Az, K:) ↓ حَافِرَةٌ, (Abu-l-'Abbás,) or حَافِرٌ, (K,) signifying dug ground; (Abu-l- 'Abbás, K; *) ground that is dug by a horse's feet; (Har p. 653;) like as one says مَآءٌ دَافِقٌ, meaning مَدْفُوقٌ. (TA.) Lth says that the saying means, when thou buyest it, thou dost not quit thy place until thou payest ready money. (TA.) This was its origin: then it came to be so often said as to be used with reference to any priority. (K.) b6: [Thus,] ↓ حَافِرَةٌ signifies (tropical:) The original state or constitution of a thing; that wherein it was created: and the returning in a thing, so that the end thereof is brought back to its beginning. (K.) It is said in the Kur [lxxix. 10], أَئِنَّا

↓ لَمَرْدُودُونَ فِى الحَافِرَةِ, i. e., (tropical:) Shall we indeed be restored to our first state? (S:) i. e., to life? (Fr:) or to the present world, as we were: (IAar:) or to our first creation, after our death. (TA.) IAar cites the following verse: عَلَى صَلَعٍ وَشَيْبٍ أَحَافِرَةً

(El-Wá'ee.) فُلَانٌ أَرْوَغُ مِنْ يَرْبُوعٍ مُحَافِرٍ Such a one is more elusive than a jerboa that goes so deep into his hole that he cannot be dug out. (A, TA.)

حَيْسٌ, originally an inf. n., (Msb,) Dates mixed with clarified butter and [the preparation of dried curd called] أَقِط, (S, A, Mgh, K,) and kneaded (A, K) vehemently, (A,) or rubbed and pressed with the hand until they mingle together, (Mgh,) whereupon their stones come forth; (K;) and sometimes سَوِيق [or meal of parched barley or wheat] is put into it; (A, K;) and a little crumbled bread instead of the اقط: (TA:) or dates, of the kind called بَرْنِىّ, and اقط, bruised together, and kneaded vehemently with clarified butter until the stones come forth from it one by one, and then made like ثَرِيد: it is the same as وَطْبَةٌ, except that حيس sometimes has سويق put in it, but وطبة has not: (L:) or dates of which the stones have been taken out, bruised with اقط, and then kneaded, and rubbed and pressed with the hand until the whole becomes like ثريد; and sometimes سويق is put with it: (Msb:) accord. to Ibn-Waddáh El-Andalusee, dates of which the stones have been taken out, mixed with سويق; but this is not known, (MF, TA,) because of the deficiency of the ingredients: (TA:) Hr is related to have described it as a ثَرِيدَة composed of أَخْلَاط [or various mixtures]. (TA.) A rájiz says, اَلتَّمْرُ وَالسَّمْنُ مَعًاثّمَّ الأَقِطْ اَلْحَيْسُ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَخْتَلِطْ [Dates and clarified butter together, then اقط, are حيس, except that it is not yet mixed]: (S, MF, TA:) from which it might be understood, that these components, when mixed, are not حيس: but this is the contrary of what is meant: (MF:) the meaning seems to be, that these three things, when brought, are virtually حيس, as being the materials thereof, though not mixed.

(TA.) And hence, He hunted, or sought to capture, or captured, the ضبّ in any manner. (Ham p. 61.) Hence also the saying, لَهُوَ أَخْبَثُ مِنْ ضَبٍّ حَرَشْتَهُ [Verily he is worse than a ضبّ which thou hast hunted]: for sometimes the ضبّ scents [its pursuer], and circumvents [him], and cannot be caught.

أَنَا حَرَشْتُهُ [Dost thou acquaint me with a ضبّ which I have captured?]. (A 'Obeyd, Az.) Hence also the prov., هٰذَاأَجَلُّ مِنَ الحَرْشِ [This is a greater matter than the hunting, or capturing, of the ضبّ]: (M, A, K:) originating in one of their fables, to the effect that a ضبّ said to its young one, “O my little son, beware thou of الحَرْش: ” and the young one heard, one day, the fall of a digging-implement upon the mouth of the hole; so he said, “O my father, is this الحَرْش? ” to which his father answered, “O my little son, this is a greater matter than الحَرْش: ” (M, K: *) and it became a prov., which is applied to him who fears a thing and falls into that which is more severe.
