شنع

1 شَنُعَ, aor. ـُ inf. n. شَنَاعَةٌ (S, O, Msb, K) and شَنَعٌ and شَنَاعٌ, but this last, occurring in a verse, may be used by poetic license for شَنَاعَةٌ, (TA,) It (a thing, S) was, or became, bad, evil, abominable, foul, or unseemly; (S, * O, * Msb, K;) syn. قَبُحَ. (Msb. [In the S and O and K, it is said that شَنَاعَةٌ signifies the same as فَظَاعَةٌ; but the latter seems to import more than the former.]) A2: شَنَعَ فُلَانًا He regarded such a one as bad, evil, abominable, foul, or unseemly, (اِسْتَقْبَحَهُ, S, O, K, TA, in the CK اسْتَخَفَّهُ,) and reviled, or vilified, him, (شَتَمَهُ, O, K, TA, and so accord. to one of my copies of the S,) or loathed him, (سَئِمَهُ,) thus in some of the lexicons, [and accord. to one of my copies of the S,] but [SM says that] شَتَمَهُ is shown to be the right reading by the saying of IAar that شَنَعَهُ, inf. n. شَنْعٌ, means سَبَّهُ. (TA.) [See also 10.] b2: Also, (O, K,) inf. n. شَنْعٌ, (TA,) He disgraced such a one; put him to shame; or exposed his vices, faults, or evil qualities or actions. (O, K, TA.) b3: And شَنَعَ الخِرْقَةَ He frayed the torn-off piece of cloth so that it became shaggy (شَعَّثَهَا حَتَّى تَنَفَّشَ): (O, K: [in the CK, in the place of the last word of the explanation, which is for تَتَنَفَّشَ, is put تَنْفَشَّ:]) and in like manner one says of a thing similar to a خِرْقَة. (O.) A3: شَنِعَ بِهِ: see 10.2 التَّشْنِيعُ signifies تَكْثِيرُ الشَّنَاعَةِ [app. meaning The uttering, or saying, much, or often, what is bad, evil, abominable, foul, or unseemly: and the doing what is bad &c. much or often]: (K:) or the uttering, or saying, what is bad, evil, abominable, foul, or unseemly, (KL, PS,) against any one: (PS:) and the representing, or regarding, as bad, &c.: (KL, PS: *) and the committing [an action that is bad, &c., or] a fault, or vitious action. (KL.) You say, شَنَّعْتُ عَلَيْهِ, inf. n. تَشْنِيعٌ, (S, O,) I uttered, or said, what was bad, evil, abominable, foul, or unseemly, against him: (PS:) from الشَّنَاعَةُ. (O.) And شنّع عَلَيْهِ الأَمْرَ, inf. n. as above, He showed, or declared, to him that the affair was bad, evil, &c.: (TA: [see also 5:]) or characterized the affair to him as bad, evil, &c. (Msb.) A2: And The striving, labouring, or exerting oneself, and being quick, and vigorous, or energetic, syn. التَّشْمِيرُ, (S, O, K, TA, [in the CK, erroneously, التَّشْهِيرُ,]) and الاِنْكِمَاشُ, and الجِدُّ, (O, K,) in pace, or going; (O, * K;) as also ↓ التَّشَنُّعُ (K) [and ↓ الإِشْنَاعُ]: thus شنّع is said of a man, meaning He strove, laboured, or exerted himself, and was quick: (TA:) and in like manner شَنَّعَتْ is said of a she-camel, (As, A'Obeyd, S, O,) and of camels, (O,) as also ↓ تشنّعت, (S, * O, expl. in the former by جَدَّتْ only,) and ↓ اشنعت; (O;) in pace, or going: (S, O:) or ↓ اشنعت said of a she-camel means she was quick, or swift. (K.) 4 أَشْنَعَ see the next preceding sentence, in three places.5 تشنّع القَوْمَ He showed, or declared, the case of the people, or party, to be bad, evil, abominable, foul, or unseemly, by reason of their disagreement, and the unsound, or unsettled, state of their opinion. (TA.) A2: And تشنّع He (a man) purposed to do a bad, an evil, an abominable, a foul, or an unseemly, thing or affair. (TA.) b2: See also 2, last sentence, in two places. b3: Hence, (IAar, TA,) He prepared himself for fight: (IAar, K, TA:) or, said of a party of men, they prepared themselves for fight: (O:) and accord. to AA, تشنّع لِلشَّرِّ He prepared himself for evil, or mischief. (O, TA.) b4: And It ( a garment, or piece of cloth,) became rent, or slit. (O, K.) A3: تشنّع الغَارَةَ He spread, or dispersed, the horsemen making a raid, or sudden attack, upon an enemy. (AA, S, O, K, TA.) b2: And تشنّع الفَرَسَ He mounted the horse. (S, O, K.) b3: And تشنّع السِّلَاحَ He put on the weapon, or weapons. (S, O, K.) 10 استشنعهُ He reckoned it bad, evil, abominable, foul, or unseemly. (O, TA.) And accord. to Lth, (O, TA,) one says, بِهِ ↓ رَأَى أَمْرًا شَنِعَ, meaning استشنعهُ, (O, K, TA,) i. e. [He saw a thing] which he regarded as bad, evil, &c. (TA.) b2: And accord. to him, one says also, قَدِ اسْتَشْنَعَ بِفُلَانٍ جَهْلُهُ, (O, TA,) meaning His ignorance has rendered such a one light, inconstant, or unsteady. (TA.) شَنِعٌ: see شَنِيعٌ.

شُنْعَةٌ the subst. from شَنُعَ; (S, O, K;) [i. e.] Badness, evilness, abominableness, foulness, or unseemliness; syn. قُبْحٌ; (Har p. 196;) as also ↓ شُنُوعٌ: (O, K:) thus in the saying, فِى فُلَانٍ

↓ شُنُوعٌ [In such a one is unseemliness, or ugliness]; as also نَظْرَةٌ and رَدٌّ [or rather رَدَّةٌ]: (TA:) and one says also, فِى وَجْهِهِ شُنْعَةٌ and رَدَّةٌ and نَظْرَةٌ [app. meaning In his face is unseemliness, or ugliness]. (IAar TA voce شُفْعَةٌ.) b2: Also Diabolical, or demoniacal possession; or madness, or insanity. (IAar, TA.) شُنُوعٌ: see the next preceding paragraph, in two places.

شَنِيعٌ Bad, evil, abominable, foul, or unseemly; (S, O, Msb, K;) as also ↓ شَنِعٌ (O, K) and ↓ أَشْنَعُ, (S, O, K,) the last like أَكْبَرُ in the phrase اَللّٰهُ

أَكْبَرُ, meaning كَبِيرٌ, accord. to one of the two interpretations of this phrase: (O, TA:) pl. of the first شُنُعٌ. (Msb, TA. *) It is applied to a day, in this sense: or as meaning disliked, or hated: (TA:) and so is ↓ أَشْنَعُ, (S, O, K, TA,) in the former sense, (TA,) or in the latter. (O, K, TA.) And you say مَنْظَرٌ شَنِيعٌ and ↓ مُشَنَّعُ [An aspect that is bad, evil, &c.] and ↓ اِمْرَأَةٌ مُشَنَّعَةٌ, meaning قَبِيحَةٌ [i. e. An unseemly, or ugly, woman]. (TA.) And اِسْمٌ شَنِيعٌ [An evil, or abominable, name]: and قَوْمٌ شُنُعُ الأَسَامِى [A people, or party, having evil, or abominable, names]. (A, TA.) and ↓ قِصَّةٌ شَنْعَآءُ [An evil, or abominable, or a foul, story]. (TA.) And ↓ غَيْرَةٌ شَنْعَآءُ Abominable, excessive jealousy: (O, K, TA:) in [some of] the copies of the K, erroneously, غبرة. (TA.) شَنَعْنَعٌ Incongruous, unsound, weak, or faulty, [and therefore unseemly,] in make; (IDrd, O, K, TA;) as also الخَلْقِ ↓ أَشْنَعُ; applied to a man: the former is from الشُّنُوعُ: and some say that it signifies tall. (TA.) أَشْنَعُ; and its fem. شَنْعَآءُ: see شَنِيعٌ, in four places: and see also شَنَعْنَعٌ.

مَشْنَعٌ: see مَشْنَأٌ, in art. شنأ.

مُشَنَّعٌ; and its fem., with ة: see شَنِيعٌ, in two places.

مَشْنُوعٌ i. q. مَشْهُورٌ [Well, or commonly, known; notorious; &c.]. (O, L, K.)

(L in art. انف.) b3: شَرَفَتِ النَّاقَةُ, and شَرُفَت, (O, K,) aor. of each ـُ inf. n. شُرُوفٌ, (K,) reg. as of the former verb, and irreg. as of the latter, (TA,) The she-camel was, or became, such as is termed شَارِفٌ [q. v.].

(TA.) A4: And شَرِفَ, [from شَرَفٌ signifying the “ hump ” of a camel,] (O, K,) said of a man, (O,) He kept constantly, or continually, to the eating of the [camel's] hump.

(MA, PS.) ISd thinks that the verb may also mean He regarded with more, or exceeding, honour. (TA.) [And Golius explains it as meaning He decked with a royal garment; on the authority of the KL; in my copy of which I find no other meaning assigned to it than the first mentioned above.] One says, شَرَّفَ اللّٰهُ الكَعْبَةَ, (O, K, TA,) inf. n. as above, (TA,) [God rendered, or may God render, the Kaabeh an object of honour, or glorious,] from الشَّرَفُ, (O, K, TA,) i. e. المَجْدُ.

(TA.) b5: [شرّف, app. for شرّف العُنُقَ, is also said by Reiske, as mentioned by Freytag in his Lexicon, to signify He (a camel going along) raised the neck: but his authority for this is not stated.]3 شارفهُ, (S, O, K,) inf. n. مُشَارَفَةٌ, (TA,) He vied with him, or contended with him for superiority, in شَرَف [i. e. highness, elevation, or eminence, of rank, condition, or estimation; or nobility]; (S, O, K, TA;) ↓ فَشَرَفَهُ and he overcame, or surpassed, him therein.

(Msb.) One says of a piece of ground, أَشْرَفَ عَلَى مَا حَوْلَهُ [It rose above, or overtopped, what was around it]. (Sh, TA.) And أَشْرَفَ لِى شَرَفٌ فَمَا زِلْتُ أَرْكُضُ حَتَّى

عَلَوْتُهُ [An eminence rose into view to me, and I ceased not to urge on my beast until I ascended, or mounted, upon it]. (TA.) b2: [Hence,] أَشْرَفْتُ عَلَيْهِ I looked upon it, or viewed it, (S, O, Msb, K, *) from above; (S, O, K;) [I overlooked it, or looked down upon it: and I came in sight of it: got a view of it: and got knowledge of it; became acquainted with it; or knew it: all of which meanings may be intended to be conveyed by the explanation in the Msb, which is اِطَّلَعْتُ عَلَيْهِ:] and الشَّىْءَ ↓ شَارَفْتُ signifies the same as أَشْرَفْتُ عَلَيْهِ [app. in the first of the senses expl. in this sentence, as well as in another sense expl. in what follows]: (S, O:) and ↓ شَارَفُوهُمْ signifies the same as أَشْرَفُوا عَلَيْهِمْ.

His soul was vehemently eager for a thing. (Mgh. [See also 10.]) إِشْرَافٌ signifies The being eager, and the being vehemently eager: and hence the saying, in a trad., مَنْ أَخَذَ الدُّنْيَا بِإِشْرَافِ نَفْسٍ

لَمْ يُبَارَكْ لَهُ فِيهَا [Whoso takes the enjoyments of the present world with eagerness, or vehement eagerness, of soul, he will not be blessed therein]. (TA.) b5: And اشرف عَلَيْهِ He regarded him with solicitous affection or pity or compassion. (O, * K.) b6: [And اشرف لِى He, or it, came within sight, or view, to me; or came within a commanding, or near, view of me: see an ex. voce أَجْهَدَ; and another voce رَبَأَ.] b7: And [hence,] اشرف لَكَ الشَّىْءُ The thing became, or has become, within thy power or reach; or possible, practicable, or easy, to thee.

(S, O, K.) And الشَّىْءَ ↓ اشرف and عَلَى الشَّىْءِ signify the same as [تشرّفهُ and] تشرّف عَلَيْهِ, i. e. He ascended, or mounted, upon the thing. (TA.) b2: It is said in a trad., with reference to certain future trials, or conflicts and factions, (فِتَن,) مَنْ

↓ تَشَرَّفَ لَهَا تَسْتَشْرِفْهُ i. e. Whoso finds a place of refuge [for escaping, or avoiding them, let them invite him, or cause him, to seek, or take, refuge, virtually meaning] let him seek, or take, refuge therein. (O, TA. *) A3: تُشُرِّفَ القَوْمُ The people, or party, had their أَشْرَاف [or eminent, or noble, men, pl. of شَرِيف,] slain. (O, K.) 8 اشترف He, or it, stood up, or upright, or erect; (S, O, TA;) and (TA) so ↓ استشرف [if this be not a mistranscription, which I incline to think it may be as the former verb (of which see the part. n. below) is not mentioned in the K]. (K, TA.) 10 استشرف الشَّىْءَ, (S, O, Msb, K,) and لِلشَّىْءِ, (Msb in art. طمح,) He raised his eyes (S, O, Msb, K) towards the thing, (O, K,) or to look at the thing, (Msb,) or looking at the thing, (S,) and expanded his hand over his eyebrow like as does he who shades [his eyes] from the sun. (S, O, K.) A poet says, تَطَالَلْتُ وَاسْتَشْرَفْتُهُ فَرَأَيْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ آأَنْتَ زَيْدُ الأَرَامِلِ [I stretched up myself, and raised my eyes towards him, expanding my hand over my eyebrow like him who is shading his eyes from the sun; and I said to him, Art thou Zeyd-el-Arámil?]. (O.) b2: Hence, (TA,) أُمِرْنَا أَنْ نَسْتَشْرِفَ العَيْنَ وَالأُذُنَ, (Mgh, * O, K, TA,) in a trad. (O, TA) relating to the sheep or goat to be slaughtered as a victim on the day of sacrifice, (TA,) means We have been commanded to pay much attention to the eye and the ear, and to examine them carefully, in order that there may not be any such defect as blindness of one eye or mutilation (Mgh, * O, K, TA) of an ear: (TA:) or, (Mgh, O,) as some say, (O,) [in the K “ that is,”] to seek that they be of high estimation, by being perfect (Mgh, * O, K) and sound: (Mgh, O:) or, accord. to some, it is from الشُّرْفَةُ signifying “ the choice ones,” or “ best,” of cattle; and the meaning is, we have been commanded to select them. (TA.) b3: And يَسْتَشْرِفُ مَعَالِىَ الأُمُورِ (tropical:) He desires, or seeks, [or raises his eye to,] the means of attaining eminence.

شُرُفَاتٌ] is pl. of ↓ شُرُفَةٌ, with two dammehs: EshShiháb says that شُرْفَات is expl. as meaning the highest portions of a قَصْر; but what are thus termed are only what are built on the top of a wall, distinct from one another, [side by side, like merlons of a parapet,] according to a well-known form: (TA:) the شُرْفَة is what is called by the [common] people ↓ شُرَّافَة: (Ham p. 824:) the شُرَّافَة of a mosque is a word used by the lawyers, and is one of their mistakes, as IB has notified: so says MF: its pl. is شَرَارِيفُ. (TA.) b4: The شُرُفَات (thus with two dammehs, K) of a horse are The neck and قَطَاة [i. e. croup, or rump, or part between the hips or haunches,] thereof. (O, K.) شُرُفَةٌ: see the next preceding paragraph.

شَرِيفٌ High, elevated, exalted, or eminent, (S, O, * Msb, K, TA,) [in rank, condition, or estimation,] in respect of religion or of worldly things: (TA:) [generally meaning high-born, or noble:] possessing glory, honour, dignity, or nobility: or such, and having also [such] ancestry: (TA:) [using it as not implying highness, or nobility, of ancestry,] you say, هُوَ شَرِيفٌ اليَوْمَ [He is high, or noble, to-day], and عَنْ قَلِيلٍ ↓ شَارِفٌ as meaning one who will be شَرِيف [after a little while]: (Fr, S, K:) the pl. [of pauc.] is أَشْرَافٌ and [of mult.]

شُرَفَآءُ (S, O, Msb, K) and ↓ شَرَفٌ, so in the K, app. denoting that this last is one of the pls. of شريف, and it is said in the O that شَرَفٌ is syn. with شُرَفَآءُ; but in the L it is said that it is syn. with شَرِيفٌ; and hence the saying هُوَ شَرَفُ قَوْمِهِ meaning He is the شَرِيف of his people, and كَرَمُهُمْ meaning the كَرِيم of them; and thus it has been expl. as used in a trad.: (TA:) [but both these assertions are probably correct; for it seems to be, agreeably with analogy, an inf. n. used as an epithet, and therefore applicable to a single person and to a pl. number, and also to two persons, and likewise to a female as well as to a male.] b2: [By the modern Arabs, and the Turks and Persians, it is also applied, as a title of honour, to Any descendant of the Prophet; like سَيِّد. And, with the article ال, particularly to the descendant of the Prophet who is The governor of Mekkeh; now always a vassal of the Turkish Sultán.]

شُرَافِىٌّ, applied to a [lizard of the kind called]

ضَبّ, and to a jerboa, Large in the ears, and in the body: (TA:) and so شُرَافِيَّةٌ applied to a she-camel; (O, K, TA;) as also ↓ شَرْفَآءُ. (TA.) and أُذُنٌ شُرَافِيَّةٌ i. q. شُفَارِيَّةٌ [q. v.], (K, TA,) or An ear that is high, long, and having hair upon it. (IDrd, O, TA.) See also أُذُنٌ شَرْفَآءُ, voce أَشْرَفُ. b2: Also A kind of white garments or cloths: (O, K: *) or a garment, or piece of cloth, that is purchased from a country of the foreigners adjacent to the land of the Arabs.

(TA.) Hence, as being likened to black decrepit she-camels, (Aboo-Bekr, TA,) الشُّرُفُ الجُونُ, with two dammehs, [which I think a mistake, unless it mean with a dammeh to each word,] (K,) or الشَّرْفُ الجُونُ, (O, IAth, TA,) occurring in a trad., meaning (assumed tropical:) [Trials, or conflicts and factions,] like portions of the dark night: (O, * K, * TA:) thus expl. by the Prophet: (O, TA:) but some relate it otherwise, with ق, (K,) saying الشُّرْقُ الجون, pl. of شَارِقٌ, (O, * TA,) meaning “ [trials, &c.,] rising (O, K, TA) from the direction of the east. ” (O, TA.) b3: Also applied to an arrow, as meaning Old: (S, O, K:) and applied to a garment or a piece of cloth [app. in the same sense]: (A and TA voce طَرِيدٌ:) or an arrow long since laid by [expl. by بَعِيدُ العَهْدِ بِالصِّيَابَةِ; but I think that the right reading is بعيد العهد لِالصِّيَانَةِ, and have assumed this to be the case in my rendering]: or of which the feathers and the sinews [wherewith they are bound] have become uncompact: or slender and long. (TA.) b4: دَنٌّ شَارِفٌ [A wine-jar] of which the wine is old. (TA.) b5: And شَارِفٌ [alone] A receptacle for wine, such as a خَابِيَة and the like thereof.

(S, O.) b2: And شَارُوفٌ also signifies A broom: (S, O, K:) a Pers\. word, (S,) arabicized, from جَارُوبٌ, (O, K,) originally جَاىْ رُوبْ, which means “ a place-sweeper. ” (O.) أَشْرَفُ [More, and most, high, elevated, exalted, or eminent, in rank, condition, or estimation; &c.; generally meaning more, and most, high-born or noble; (see شَرِيفٌ;)] surpassing in شَرَف. (S, O.) b2: مَنْكِبٌ أَشْرَفُ A high shoulder; (S, O, K;) such as has a goodly rising; which implies what is termed إِهْدَآء [inf. n. of أَهْدَأَهُ, and here app. meaning the “ being curved in the back ”]. (TA.) And أُذُنٌ شَرْفَآءُ A long ear; (S, O, K;) standing up; rising above what is next to it: and so اذن ↓ شُرَافِيَّةٌ. (TA.) b3: See also شُرَافِىٌّ [أَشْرَفُ also signifies Having a prominent, or an apparent, ear: opposed to أَسَكُّ, q. v. b4: Hence,] الأَشْرَفُ is an appellation of The bat; (O, K, TA;) because its ears are prominent and apparent: it is bare of downy and other feathers, and is viviparous, not oviparous: so in the saying of Bishr Ibn-ElMoatemir, وَطَائِرٌ لَيْسَ لَهُ وَكْرُ وَطَائِرٌ أَشْرَفُ ذُو جُرْدَةٍ

[And a flying thing that has prominent and apparent ears and a denuded body, and a flying thing that has no nest]: (O, TA:) in the K is added, and another bird, that has no nest, &c.: but this is taken from an explanation of the latter hemistich of the verse cited above; which explanation is as follows: (TA:) the bird that has no nest is one of which the Bahránees [so in the TA, but accord. to the O “ the sailors,”] tell that it does not alight save while it makes, of the dust, or earth, a place in which it lays its eggs, and which it covers over; then it flies into the air, and its eggs break open of themselves at the expiration of the term thereof; and when its young ones are able to fly, they do after the habit of their parents. (O, L, TA: and the same is said, less fully, in the K.) b5: مَدِينَةٌ شَرْفَآءُ A city having شُرَف, (Mgh, O, K, *) pl. of شُرْفَةٌ [q. v.]: (O:) the pl. of أَشْرَفُ and of شَرْفَآءُ, accord. to rule, is شُرْفٌ. (Mgh. [In the copies of the K, الشُّرُفُ is erroneously said to be pl. of الشَّرْفَآءُ.]) It is said in a trad. of Ibn-' Abbás, أُمِرْنَا أَنْ نَبْنِىَ المَدَائِنَ شُرْفًا وَالمَسَاجِدَ جُمًّا i. e. We have been commanded to build cities with شُرَف and mosques without شُرَف. (Mgh, O. *) أَشْرَافٌ The ears and nose of a man: (O, K, TA:) its sing. in this sense is not mentioned: it is app. ↓ شَرَفٌ; like سَبَبٌ, sing. of أَسْبَابٌ. (TA.) تَشْرِيفٌ inf. n. of 2 [q. v.]. (S &c.) b2: [and also a post-classical term applied to An honorary present, such as a garment &c.: and a letter, i. e. an epistle, considered as conferring honour: pl. تَشْرِيفَاتٌ.]

(S, O, K.) b2: Hence the saying in a trad., مَا جَآءَكَ مِنْ هٰذَا المَالِ وَأَنْتَ غَيْرُ مُشْرَفٍ وَلَا سَائِلٍ فَخْذْهُ (O, TA) i. e.

Ar., sec. ed., iii. 53:)] and it is said that مَشْرَف was the name of a blacksmith who made swords: (TA:) one says سَيْفٌ مَشْرَفِىٌّ, (S, O, Msb,) not مَشَارِفِىٌّ, because a rel. n. is not formed from a pl. of the measure of مَشَارِفُ. (S, O.) مُشَرَّفٌ [Elevated, or exalted, in rank, condition, or estimation; or ennobled]; (K, TA;) an epithet applied to a man; from الشَّرَفُ. (TA.)

(S, Mgh, Msb, K, TA.) You say, اثخنهُ ضَرْبًا (assumed tropical:) He rendered him heavy by beating: (JK:) or he beat him much, or vehemently, or excessively. (TA.) And أَثْخَنْتُهُ بِالجِراحَةِ (assumed tropical:) I weakened him, rendered him languid, or enervated him, by the wound, or wounds. (Msb.) b3: إِذَا أَثْخَنْتُمُوهُمْ, in the Kur xlvii. 4, means (assumed tropical:) When ye have made much slaughter among them: (Jel:) or when ye have made a great and vehement slaughter of them: (Bd:) or when ye have overcome them, and wounded them much, or inflicted many wounds upon them, (Abu-l-'Abbás, K, TA,) so that they give with their hands. (Abu-l-'Abbás, TA.) b4: اثخن فِى العَدُوِّ (tropical:) He made a great, or vehement, slaughter, (A,) or a great, or vehement, wounding, (K,) among the enemy.

(TA in that art.) [Golius explains ثَخَنٌ as meaning “ crassities, spissitudo; ” on the anthority of Ibn-Maaroof and Ibn-Beytár; but I suspect that he found ثَخَنٌ in their works written for ثُخْنٌ or ثِخَنٌ, both inf. ns. of ثَخُنَ.]

ور

أ1 وَرَأَ, aor. ـَ He repelled, pushed, or thrust. (K.) A2: وَرَأَ مِنَ الطَّعَامِ He was, or became, filled with food. (K.) A3: مَا وُرِئْتُ, and ↓ ما وُرِّئْتُ, I knew not. (K.) بِالشَّىْءِ

A4: ما أُورِئْتُ I knew not the thing, or of the thing. (L.) 2 وَرَّاَand 4: see 1.5 تورّأت عَلَيْهِ الأَرْضُ i. q. تودّأت, The earth became even, or plain, over him: or enclosed him: &c. (IJ, K.) 10 استورأتِ الإِبِلُ The camels took fright and ran away, in a body, one after another: (As:) accord. to Az, this is said when they have taken fright and ascended a mountain; but if they have taken fright and run away in a plain, one says استأورت: so in the dial. of the tribe of 'Okeyl. [Thus in the TA in this art.: but see إِسْتَؤَرتْ.]

وَرَآءَ and وَرَآءُ and وَرَآءِ, indecl., (K,) an adverbial noun of place or time: (Bd, &c.:) J mentions it in art. ورى, regarding the وَرُاَ as substituted for ى; and this is the opinion of the Koofees, and of all writers on inflexion, though disapproved by F, who, however, mentions it again in art. ورى as though belonging to that art.: (TA:) Behind: and, contr., before. (K.) In like manner, الوَرَآءُ [The location that is behind, or beyond; and the time past: and, contr. that is before, or preceding]. (K.) Or it does not bear contr. meanings; but one meaning; namely, what is concealed from one. (K, art. ورى.) Or it is a homonym; [but not a word of contr. meanings; as it signifies what is behind, or beyond, in respect of place, and what is before in respect of time]. Fr. says, It is not allowable to say, of a man behind thee, that he is بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ; nor of a man before thee, that he is وَرَآءَك; these expressions being only allowable [as synonymous] in cases relating to particular times of events or actions: thus one may say, وَرَآءَكَ بَرْدٌ شَدِيدٌ and بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ برد شديد [meaning Before thee is intense cold]: each of these expressions is allowable because the intense cold is a thing that is coming; so, as it will overtake thee, it is, as it were, behind thee; and as thou wilt attain to the period thereof, it is, as it were, before thee. It is said in the Kur, [xviii. 78,] كَانَ وَرَآءَهُمْ مَلِكٌ There was before them a king: [because it has reference to a certain period, which might be said to be before them as they would attain to it, and behind them as it would overtake them: this passage Jelál-ed-Deen explains by saying, “there was behind them when they returned, and before them now, a king. ”] Of the same kind also is the phrase مِن وَرَائِهِ جَهَنَّمُ [Kur, xiv. 19,] Before him is hell: [for the same reason]. (TA.) b2: وَيَكْفُرُونَ بِما وَرَآءَهُ, [Kur, ii. 85,] signifies And they disbelieve in what [hath been revealed] beside that: syn. سِوَاهُ: (IAar:) or it may mean after that. (Jel.) b3: وراء is masc. and fem. (TA.) Its dim. is وُرَيِّئَةٌ, (K,) accord. to those who hold the وَرُاَ to be a radical letter, not substituted for ى; namely, the Basrees: accord. to others, وُرَيَّةٌ and وُرَىٌّ. (TA.) b4: [See also art. ورى.] b5: رَجُلٌ مَانِعٌ مَا وَرَآءَ ظهْرِهِ: see زَبُّونَةٌ. b6: وَرَآءٌ A son's son, or son's offspring. (K.) b7: وَرَآءٌ Bulky, and thick in the أَلْوَاح, or shoulder-blades. (AAF.)
