[Golius omits this; but mentions, as on the authority of Ibn-Maaroof, خَرِتَ, signifying He was skilful, or expert, in showing the way. What Ibn-Maaroof says, however, is that the inf. n. خَرَتٌ signifies the being acquainted with a road; and, with a place. See خِرِّيتُ.]

خَرْتٌ: see what next follows, in two places.

خُرْتٌ The perforation, bore, or hole, (S, A, K,) of a needle; [i. e. its eye;] (S, A; [see also خُرْتَةٌ;] and of the ear, (S,) or in the ear, [but see خُرْتَةٌ,] &c.; (A, K;) and of the فَأْس, [i. e. hoe, or adz, or axe,] (S, A, TA,) meaning, of the handle thereof; (A, TA;) as also خُرَةٌ; (Fr, TA in art. خرو;) [see again خُرْتَةٌ;] and ↓ خَرْتٌ signifies the same: (A, K:) pl.

(TA.) [Hence the phrase,] قَلِقَ خُرْتُ فُلَانٍ [lit. The rings of the fore-girths of the camels of such a one became unsteady; meaning] (tropical:) the state of such a one became disordered, or perverted. (A, TA.) And similar to this are the phrases, رَادَ خُرْتُ القَوْمِ and رَادَتْ

أَخْرَاتُهُمْ, [in the TA زاد and زادت, but the comparison evidently shows that the verbs should be راد and رادت,] said of a people when they do not receive or entertain hospitably him who alights at their place of abode: so says IAar on the authority of Es-Saloolee. (TA.) b3: See also خُرْتَةٌ. b4: Also A small rib, at, or near, the breast; and so ↓ خَرْتٌ: (K:) pl. أَخْرَاتٌ, which Lth explains as meaning the ribs at, or near, the breast, collectively. (TA.) b5: And [the pl.] أَخْرَاتٌ signifies The obscure roads or ways, and the narrow passes, of a desert. (TA.) خُرْتَةٌ: see خُرْتٌ. b2: Its pl. أَخْرَاتٌ, [also pl. of ↓ خُرْتٌ, (see خُبْنٌ,)] in the formation of which the ة of the sing. seems to have been considered as elided, also signifies The loops of a [leathern water-bag such as is called] مَزَادَة: it is said in the T that in the مزادة are its اخرات, the loops between which is the قَصَبَة [commonly signifying cane, or reed, but here app. meaning the mouth, which has the form of a short cylinder, and is in the middle of the upper part of the مزادة, between the two loops, these being at the two upper corners], whereby [app. referring to the اخرات] it is carried [and suspended on the side of a camel, counterpoised by another مزادة on the other side of the camel]: and AM adds that one says [also] أَخْرَابُ المَزَادَةِ, sing. خُرْبَةٌ [q. v.]; and in like manner, خُرْبَةُ الأُذُنِ [“ the bore of the ear ” ]; with ب: and غُلَامٌ أَخْرَبُ الأُذُنَيْنِ [“ a boy having his ears pierced, or bored ”]: he says, also, that the خُرْتَة, with ت, is [the hole] in the iron of the فَأْس, and [the eye] of the needle; and the خُرْبَة, with ب, is in the skin: and AA says that خُرْتَةٌ signifies the eye of the [kind of needle called] شَغِيزَة, i. e. the مِسَلَّة: (TA:) and Lth says that it signifies a round hole. (TA in art. حرت.) الخَرَاتَانِ Two stars, (K,) of the stars of the Lion, two whips' lengths apart, [(see سَوْطٌ,) in] the two shoulder-blades of the Lion, (TA,) also called زُبْرَةُ الأَسَدِ, (K,) [composing the Eleventh Mansion of the Moon: (see زُبْرَةٌ: and see also مَنَازِلُ القَمَرِ, in art. نزل:)] the word is mentioned here in the K, as though it were of the measure فَعَالَانِ; but accord. to Kr and others, it is dual of خَرَاةٌ, belonging to art. خرو, in which it is again mentioned in the K: (TA:) accord. to ISd, however, only the dual form is known, and the radical ت and the augmentative ت [by which latter is meant ة] are in the dual alike: (TA in art. خرو:) Zj asked Th respecting the خراتان, and he answered, IAar says that they are two stars, of those of the Lion; and Aboo-Nasr, the companion of As, says that they are two stars in the زبرة of the Lion, i. e. in the middle thereof; but in my opinion they are two stars after [i. e. to the eastward of] the جَبْهَة and the قَلْب: Zj disapproved of this, and replied, I say that they are two stars in that part of the breast which is the stabbing-place, derived from خُرْتُ الإِبْرَةِ, “the eye of the needle: ” but Th rejoined, that this was an error, because the word is the dual of خَرَاةٌ; and he cited some verses in which a poet speaks of certain stars in the Lion, and, among them, of الخَرَاةُ. (MF, TA.) خِرِّيتُ (S, A, K) and خِرِّيتٌ مِرِّيتٌ (Sh) A skilful, or an expert, guide of the way; (Sh, S, K;) one who pursues the right course to the أَخْرَات, i. e. the obscure roads or ways, and the narrow passes, of the deserts; or who pursues the right course in a way that may be likened to the خُرْت [or eye] of the needle: (TA:) or skilful; applied to a man, and [particularly] to a guide: (A:) pl. خَرَارِتُ, occurring in a verse [perhaps used by poetic licence for the regular pl. خَرَارِيتُ]. (S.) مَخْرَتٌ A strait, direct, or right, road or way. (K.) مَخْرُوتٌ originally Perforated, bored, or pierced. (TA.) b2: Then, (TA,) Having the nose slit; (K;) [and] so مَخْرُوتُ الأَنْفِ, applied to a camel: (A, TA:) or مخروت signifies having a slit lip. (S, K.)
