غربل

Q. 1 غَرْبَلَهُ, (S, MA, O, K,) inf. n. غَرْبَلَةٌ, (TA,) He sifted it; (MA;) i. q. نَخَلَهُ; (K;) namely, flour, &c., (S, O,) or earth, or mould. (MA.) b2: And [hence, app.,] He dispersed it, or scattered it. (Sh, TA.) b3: And He cut it, or severed it; syn. قَطَعَهُ: (S, O, and so in the CK:) or he cut it in pieces; syn. قَطَّعَهُ. (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.) Hence the saying, in a trad., كَيْفَ بِكُمْ إِذَا كُنْتُمْ فِى زَمَانٍ

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.

(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].

خط

1 خَطَّ, aor. ـُ inf. n. خَطٌّ, He made [a line, or lines, or] a mark, عَلَى الأَرْضِ, upon the ground. (Msb.) You say, خَطَّ الزَّاجِرُ فِى الأَرْضِ, aor. and inf. n. as above, The diviner made a line, or a mark, or lines, or marks, upon the ground, and then divined. (TA.) And الزَّاجِرُ يَخُطُّ بِإِصْبَعِهِ فِى

الرَّمْلِ وَيَزْجُرُ [The diviner makes lines, or marks, with his finger upon the sand, and divines]. (S.) Th says, on the authority of IAar, that عِلْمُ الخَطِّ is عِلْمُ الرَّمْلِ [or geomancy]: I 'Ab says that it is an ancient science, which men have relinquished: but Lth says that it is practised to the present time; [to which I may add, that it has not even now ceased; being still practised on sand and the like, and also on paper;] and they have conventional terms which they employ in it, and they elicit thereby the secret thoughts &c., and often hit upon the right therein: the diviner comes to a piece of soft ground, and he has a boy, with whom is a style; and the master makes many lines, or marks, in haste, that they may not be counted; then he returns, and obliterates leisurely lines, or marks, two by two; and if there remain two lines, or marks, they are a sign of success, and of the attainment of the thing wanted: while he obliterates, his boy says, for the sake of auguring well, اِبْنَىْ عِيَانْ أَسْرِعَا البَيَانْ [O two sons of 'Iyán (meaning two lines or marks), hasten ye the manifestation]: I 'Ab says that when he has obliterated the lines, or marks, and one remains, it is the sign of disappointment: and Az and Lth relate the like of this. (TA.) It is said in a trad. of Mo'áwiyeh Ibn-El-Hakam Es-Sulamee, traced up by him to its author, كَانَ نَبِىٌّ مِنَ الأَنْبِيَآءِ يَخُطُّ فَمَنْ خَطَّهُ عَلِمَ مِثْلَ عِلْمِهِ [A prophet of the prophets used to practise geomancy; and he who matches his geomancy knows the like of his knowledge]. (TA.) You say also, when a man is meditating upon his affair, and considering what may be its issue, or result, فُلَانٌ يَخُطُّ فِى الأَرْضِ (tropical:) [Such a one makes lines, or marks, upon the ground]. (TA.) [See also نَكَتَ: and see St. John's Gospel, ch. viii. verses 6 and 8.] And خَطَّ بِرِجْلِهِ الأَرْضَ means (tropical:) He walked, or went along. (TA.) b2: Also, (S, Msb,) aor. as above, (Msb,) and so the inf. n., (Msb, K,) He wrote (S, Msb, K) a writing, or book, (Msb,) or a thing, (TA,) with the reed prepared for that purpose, (S, K,) or with some other thing; (K, TA;) [and so ↓ خطّط, for] تَخْطِيطٌ is syn. with تَسْطِيرٌ, or, as in the T, like تسطير; whence the saying, خُطِّطَتْ عَلَيْهِ ذُنُوبُهُ His sins were written [or registered] against him. (TA.) b3: خَطَّ الخِطَّةَ, and خَطَّهَا لِنَفْسِهِ: see 8; for the latter, in two places. b4: [Hence,] خَطَّ عَلَيْهِ (assumed tropical:) He prohibited it; or took it for himself; relating to anything. (K, TA.) b5: خُطُّ وَحْهُهُ: or خَطَّ: see 8. b6: خَطَّ الغُلَامُ: see 8. b7: خَطَطْتُ بِالسَّيْفِ وَجْهَهُ وَوَسَطَهُ (tropical:) [I cut, or clave, with the sword his face and his waist]. (TA.) And خَطَّهُ بِالسَّيْفِ نِصْفَيْنِ (tropical:) [He clave him, or it, in halves with the sword]. (TA.) And جَارَاهُ فَمَا خَطَّ غُبَارَهُ (tropical:) He contended with him in running, and did not cleave his dust. (JK, S, * A, L.) b8: خَطَّ اللّٰهُ نَوْءَهَا [God made its (a land's) rain-giving star or asterism (see نَوْءٌ) to pass it over: or may God make &c.]: from خَطِيطَةٌ signifying “ a land not rained upon between two lands that have been rained upon: ” (S, TA: *) it was said by I' Ab [in a tropical sense, by way of imprecation, with reference to a woman], when he was asked respecting a man who had put the affair of his wife in her own hand and she had in consequence divorced him by a triple sentence: (S:) accord. to one relation, it is خَطَّأَ; the meaning being “ may he make its rain to miss it: ” (S, TA:) and accord. to another, ↓ خَطَّى, originally خَطَّطَ, like تَقَضَّى البَازِى: the former, or first, is the weaker, or weakest, in authority, of these relations.

(K.) [And hence, اختطّ signifies also He founded a town or the like.] b2: اختطّ وَجْهُهُ (tropical:) His face became marked with lines [app. by the growth of his beard]; (K, TA;) as also ↓ خَطَّ; (K, L, TA;) or ↓ خُطَّ; (JK;) or ↓ اخطّ: (CK:) or (tropical:) the hair of his beard extended [so as to form lines] upon the two sides of his face. (A, TA.) b3: اختطّ الغُلَامُ (tropical:) The two sides of the boy's, or young man's, beard grew forth; (S, L, K, TA;) as also ↓ خَطَّ; or ↓ اخطّ. (K, accord. to different copies.) خَطٌّ A line, streak, or stripe; in, or upon, a thing: (K:) pl. خُطُوطٌ (S, K) and أَخْطَاطٌ; (K;) the latter, [a pl. of pauc.,] used by El-'Ajjáj: (TA:) and ↓ خُطَّةٌ is [syn. with خَطٌّ as explained above, being] a subst. form [the inf. n.] الخَطُّ, like as نُقْطَةٌ is from النَّقْطُ: (S, K: *) you say, ↓ عَلَى ظَهْرِ الحِمَارِ خُطَّتَانِ Upon the back of the ass are two lines, or streaks, differing in colour from the rest of the body. (TA.) b2: [In mathematics, A line. And hence, خَطُّ الاِسْتِوَآءِ The equinoctial line.] b3: A slight track, or path, or road, in plain, or smooth, or soft, ground: pl. as above. (K.) And A road, or path: (Th, K:) as in the saying, اِلْزَمْ ذٰلِكَ الخَطَّ وَلَا تَظْلِمْ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا [Keep thou to that road, or path, and do not deviate from it at all]: or in this sense the word is ↓ خُطٌّ. (TA.) Also A road, or way, or street, that is a common thoroughfare; and so ↓ خُطٌّ. (IDrd, K.) b4: (tropical:) [A streak, or stripe, of herbage.] Yousay, الكَلَأُ خُطُوطٌ فِى الأَرْضِ (tropical:) The herbage consists of streaks, or stripes, upon the ground; the rain not having watered the country in common.

(Msb.) You say, سُمْتُهُ خُطَّةَ خَسْفٍ

[I required, or constrained, him to do an affair of difficulty; or to become in a state of abasement, or ignominy]: and خُطَّةَ سُوْءٍ [an evil affair]. (L.) And هُوَيُكَلِّفُنِى خُطَّةً مِنَ الخَسْفِ [He requires, or constrains, me to do an affair of difficulty; &c.]. (JK. [See also خَسْفٌ.]) And it is said in a trad., of Keyleh, أَيُلَامُ ابْنُ هٰذِهِ أَنْ يَفْصِلَ الخُطَّةَ وَيَنْتَصِرَ مِنْ وَرَآءِ الحَجَزَةِ [Is the son of this woman to be blamed for deciding the affair, or matter, or case, &c., and defending himself in the absence of the wrongdoers who would prevent his obtaining his right; or, of those who defend men, one from another, and decide between them justly?]: i. e., when a dubious event, to the encountering of which he does not find the right way, befalls him, that he should not care for it, but decide it so as to settle it and extricate himself from it. (S, TA.) [See also حَاجِزٌ.] Also, in a trad. respecting El-Hodeybiyeh, لَايَسْألُــونِى خُطَّةً

(TA.) And in the same, قَدْ عَرَضَ عَلَيْكُمْ خُطَّةَ رُشْدٍ فَاقْبَلُوهَا He hath proposed to you a case of evident rectitude; therefore do ye accept it. (TA.) And Taäbbatasharrà says, هُمَا خَطَّتَا إِمَّا إِسَارٌ وَمِنَّةٌ وَإِمَّا دَمٌ وَالقَتْلُ بِالحُرِّ أَجْدَرُ [They are two case; either bondage and reproach, or else blood; and slaughter is more befitting to the free, or ingenuous]: he means خُطَّتَانِ. (S. [See Ham p. 34.]) b3: Also A course: as in the phrase خُطَّةٌ نَائِيَةٌ A distant, or far-extending, course. (S, TA.) You say also, خُذْ خُطَّةً, i. e. خُذْ خُطَّةَ الاِنْتِصَافِ [Take thou the course of exacting thy right, or due, with equity]; meaning اِنْتَصِفْ [exact thou thy right, or due, with equity]. (S.) b4: A proof; an evidence; a testimony; an argument; a plea; or an allegation; syn. حُجَّةٌ. (O, TA.) So in the phrase, أَقِمْ عَلَى هٰذَا الأَمْرِ بِخُطَّةٍ [app. Establish thou a proof, &c., against this thing, or case]; as is said in the “ Nawádir. ” (TA.) b5: An object of want which one has determined to accomplish: as in the saying, جَآءَ وَفِى رَأْسِهِ خُطَّةٌ He came having in his mind [lit. his head] an object of want &c. : [but see the last sentence in this paragraph:] the vulgar say خُطْبَةٌ: (S, L:) the former is the word used by the Arabs: (L:) the latter, however, occurs in the “ Nawádir ” of Az; therefore the attribution of it to the vulgar demands consideration. (TA.) b6: Boldness to undertake affairs. (K.) b7: Ignorance. (K.) You say, فِى رَأْسِهِ خُطَّةٌ In his head is ignorance: or, as some say, some affair: and it has another meaning explained above. (TA.) خِطَّةٌ A piece of ground, or land, which a man takes to himself, and upon which he makes a mark, in order to its being known that he has chosen it to build there a house; whence the خِطَط of El-Koofeh and of El-Basrah: (S:) or a piece of ground, and a house, which a man takes to himself, and upon which he makes a mark, in land not possessed, that he may have it for himself exclusively, and build there; this being done when the Sultán gives permission to a number of the Muslims to found houses in a particular place, and to make their abodes there, as they did in El-Koofeh and El-Basrah: (L:) or a place which is taken and marked for building houses, or for habitation, or the like: (Mgh, Msb:) or, as is said in the Bári', a piece of ground, or land, which a man takes to himself, and upon which he makes a mark, it not having belonged to any one before him; as also ↓ خِطٌّ; (Msb;) which latter is explained by IDrd as signifying a place which one takes to himself, and marks, from other places: (IB, L:) or both signify a piece of land in which one alights and takes up his abode, none having done so before him: (K:) the pl. of the former is حِطَزٌ. (S, Msb.) b2: [Hence,] فُلَانٌ بَيِّنٌ خِطَطِ المَكَارِمِ (tropical:) [Such a one exhibits in himself the marks of generous, or honourable, qualities]. (TA.) خَطُوطٌ A wild bull, (S, L,) and any beast, (L,) that marks the ground with the extremities of his hoofs. (S, L.) وَادٌ خَطِيطٌ [A valley not rained upon]. (AO, TA voce خَطْوَةٌ, q. v.)

(TA.) خِطِّيَّةٌ: see the next preceding paragraph.

أَخَطُّ (assumed tropical:) Delicate in beauties. (IAar.) [See also مُخَطَّطٌ.]

(El-Basáïr.) And اِنْهَزَمَ ثُمَّ كَرَّ عَلَيْهِ [He was put to flight: then he returned, or turned back, against him]. (A.) And كَرَّ الفَارِسُ, aor. ـُ inf. n. كَرٌّ, The horseman [wheeled round, or about, or] fled, to wheel round, or about, and then returned to the fight: (Msb:) [or returned to the fight after wheeling round, or about, or retiring, or being put to flight; as is implied in the phrase next preceding, from the A, and in many other examples: and simply, he charged, or assaulted: opposed to فَرَّ: see كَرَّةٌ, below.] You say also الجَوَادُ يَصْلُحُ لِلْكَرِّ وَالْفَرِّ [The courser is suitable, or fit, for returning to the fight, or for charging, or assaulting, and fleeing]. (Msb.) [And كَرَّ signifies He, or it, returned time after time.] You say أَفْنَاهُ كَرُّ اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ The returning of night and day time after time caused him to come to an end. (Msb.) Also كَرَّ عَنْهُ He returned from him, or it. (A, K.) and عَنْ ذٰلِكَ ↓ تَكَرْكَرَ He returned from that. (TA.) A2: كَرَّ is also trans., as well as intrans.; (S,) TA;) كَرَّهُ, (aor.

كَرُ3َ, TA,) inf. n. كَرٌّ, signifying He made, or caused, him, or it, to return: (S, Mgh, TA:) and [in like manner,] عَنْ ↓ كَرْكَرَهُ كَذَا, inf. n. كَرْكَرَةٌ, he made him to return, or revert, from such a thing. (TA.) You say كَرَّ عَلَيْهِ رُمْحَهُ, and فَرَسَهُ, inf. n. كَرٌّ, [He turned back his spear, and his horse, against him]. (A.) A3: كَرَّ, aor. ـِ (S, K,) and [see. Pers\.

كَرِرْتَ,] aor. ـَ (K,) inf. n. كَرِيرٌ, (S, A, * K, * TA,) He uttered a sound like that of one throttled, or strangled: (S, K:) or like that of one harassed, or fatigued, or overburdened: (TA:) or he rattled in his throat (حَشُرَجَ) in dying: (Az, S:) or he made a sound in his breast like حَشْرَجَةٌ [or rattling in the throat in dying], (A, TA) but not the same as this latter: and thus do horses, in their breasts. (TA.) [See شَخَرَ.]

b2: Also, He (a sick man) gave up his spirit, at death. (TA.) b3: See also كَرِيرٌ, below.2 كرّرهُ, inf. n. تَكْرِيرٌ (S, Msb, K) and تَكْرَارٌ, (S, K,) or the latter is a simple subst., (Msb,) or, as AA said to Aboo-Sa'eed Ed-Dareer, in reply to a question respecting the difference between the measures تَفْعَالٌ and تِفْعَالٌ, the latter is a simple subst., and the former, with fet-h, is an inf. n., (S, TA,) [but there are two inf. ns. of the measure تِفْعَالٌ, both of unaugmented verbs, namely تِبْيَانٌ and تِلْقَآءٌ,] and تَكِرَّةٌ, (Ibn-Buzurj, K,) [He repeated it, or reiterated it, either once or more than once:] he repeated it several times; reiterated it: (Msb:) or he repeated it one time after another; (K;) which may mean he tripled it, unless the “ other ” time be not reckoned as a repetition; (TA;) as also ↓ كَرْكَرَهُ; (K; [in the CK, كَرْكَرَةً is put by mistake for كَرْكَرَهُ;]) either by act or by speech: (MF:) it differs from أَعَادَهُ, which signifies only “ he repeated it once; ” for none but the vulgar say أَعَادَهُ مَرَّاتٍ; whereas كَرَّرَهُ may signify [not only the same as أَعَادَهُ, as it does in many instances, but also] he repeated it time after time: (Aboo-Hilál El-'Askeree:) some explain كَرَّرَهُ as signifying he mentioned it twice, and he mentioned it one time after another: (Sadr-ed-Deen Zádeh:) when it is used in the former of these two senses, the term تَكْرَارٌ applies to the second, and to the first [with respect to the second]: ('Ináyeh, in the early part of chap. ii.; and TA:) but its explanation as signifying the mentioning a thing one time after another is a conventional rendering of the rhetoricians: (MF:) Es-Suyootee says, that تَكْرَارٌ signifies the renewing the first word or phrase; and it denotes a sort of تَأْكِيد [or corroboration]: but it is said to be a condition of تأكيد that the words or phrases [which are repeated] be without interruption, and occur not more than three times; and that تكرار differs from it in both these particulars; so that the phrase in the Kur, [chap. lv.,] فَبِأَىِّ آلَآءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ is an instance of تكرار, not of تأكيد, because it occurs [with interruptions and] more than three times; and so another phrase in the Kur, [chap. lxxvii.,] وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِلْمُكَذِّبِينَ. (TA.) You say كَرَّر عَلَى سَمْعِهِ كَذَا [He repeated, or reiterated, such a thing, or saying, to his ear, or ears, or hearing]. (A.) 5 تكرّر [It became repeated, or reiterated: and it recurred]. You say تكرّر عَلَيْهِ [It (a saying) became repeated, or reiterated, to him]. (A.) R. Q. 1 كَرْكَرَهُ: see 1: and 2.

كَرٌّ A rope [made in the form of a hoop] by means of which one ascends a palm-tree; (S, K;) accord. to A'Obeyd, a name not applied to any other rope; and so, says Az, I have heard from the Arabs; it is made of the best of [the fibres of the palm-tree called] لِيف: (TA:) or a thick rope; (K;) accord. to AO, made of لِيف, and of the outer covering (قِشْر) of the [portions of the racemes of the palm-tree called] عَرَجِين and of the [portion of the branch called] عَسِيب: (TA:) or a rope, in general: (Th, K:) and the rope [or sheet] of a sail: (S:) or the rope of a ship: or the rope by which a ship is drawn: (TA:) and a قَيْد [or pair of shackles, or hobbles,] made of لِيف or of palm-leaves: (K:) pl. كُرُورٌ. (S, TA.) A2: The thing that connects the [two pieces of wood called] ظَلِفَتَانِ of the [kind of camel's saddle called] رَحْل, (S, K,) and that enters [or is inserted] into them: (S:) [See شَجْرٌ and شَخْرٌ:] or the skin, or leather, into which the ظَلِفَات of the رَحْل enter; occupying the same place in the رَحْل as the بِدَادَانِ have in the قَتَب, excepting that the بدادان do not appear before the ظَلِفَة: (TA:) pl. أَكْرَارٌ. (S, TA.) كُرٌّ A certain measure of capacity, (Mgh, Msb, K,) of the people of El-'Irák, (Mgh, K,) for wheat; (S;) well known; (Msb;) consisting of six ass-loads, (K,) that is, sixty times the quantity called قَفِيز, (Az, Mgh, Msb, K,) accord. to the people of El-'Irák, (TA,) the قفيز being eight مَكَاكِيك, [in the TA, six, but this is a mistake,] and the مَكُّوك being a صَاع and a half, which is three كِيلَجَات; so that the كُرّ, accord. to this reckoning, is twelve times the quantity called وَسْق, (Az, Mgh, Msb,) each وسق being sixty times the quantity called صاع: (Az, Mgh:) in the Kitáb Kudámeh, it is said that the كُرّ called المُعَدَّلُ is sixty times the quantity called قفيز, and the قفيز is ten أَعْشِرَآء: and the كُرّ called القَنْقَلُ is twice the quantity of the كُرّ مُعَدَّل, that is, by the قفيز of the معدّل, a hundred and twenty times the quantity of the قفيز; with this كرّ are measured unripe dates and dried dates and also olives, in the districts of El-Basrah; and the قفيز used for measuring dates is twenty-five times the رِطْل of Baghdád; so that the كُرُّ القَنْقَلِ is three thousand times as much as the رطل: and the كُرّ called الهَاشِمِىُّ is the third part of the معدّل, that is, twenty times as much as the قفيز, by the measure of the معدّل; with this كُرّ, rice is measured: and the كُرّ called الهَارُــونِىُّ is equal to them two [but what these two are is not shown]: and the أَهْوَازِىّ is equal to them two: and the مَخْتُوم is sixth part of the قفيز: and the قفيز is the tenth part of the جَرِيب: (Mgh:) or the كُرّ is forty times as much as the quantity called إِرْدَبّ; (K;) by the reckoning of the people of Egypt, as ISd says: (TA:) the pl. is إِكرَار. (S, Msb.) [It is app. connected with the Hebrew כֹּר, whence the Greek ko/ros (a measure containing, accord. to Josephus, six Attic medimni,) occurring in Luke xvi. 7.]

كَرَّةٌ A return. (Msb.) So in the Kur, [ii. 162,] لَوْ أَنَّ لَنَا كَرَّةً [Would that there were for us] a return to the world, or former state. And so in xxvi. 102, and xxxix. 59. (Jel.) And so in the saying of Mohammad, اللّٰهَ اللّٰهَ وَالْكَرَّةَ عَلَى نَبِيِّكُمْ Fear ye God, [fear ye God,] and return to your prophet. (Mgh.) b2: [Hence, The return to life;] the resurrection; the renewal of mankind, or of the creation, after perishing. (TA.) b3: [Hence also, A return to the fight, after wheeling away, or retiring: and simply,] a charge, or an assault, (Mgh, K,) in war; (TA;) as also ↓ كُرَّى: (Sgh, K:) pl. كَرَّاتٌ. (K.) b4: [Hence also,] A time; one time; [in the sense of the French “ fois ”; generally repeated, or used in the pl. form, so as to denote a returning to an action, once, or more; i. e., repetition, or reiteration, thereof, agreeably with the primary signification;] syn. مَرَّةٌ: (S, K:) pl. as above. (S.) You say فَعَلَهُ كَرَّةً بَعْدَ كَرَّةٍ

[He did it time after time]. And فَعَلَهُ كَرَّاتٍ

[He did it several times]. (A.) b5: [Hence also,] A turn to prevail against an opposing party; victory. So in the Kur, [xvii. 6,] ثُمَّ رَدَدْنَا لَكُمُ الكَرَّةَ عَلَيْهِمْ [Then we gave to you the turn to prevail against them; the victory over them]. (Bd, Jel.) كُرَّى: see كَرَّةٌ.

كَرِيرٌ, an inf. n.: see 1. b2: Also, A hoarseness or roughness of the voice, occasioned by dust. (K.) كَرَّارٌ: see مِكَرٌّ.

كِرْكِرَةٌ The callosity, or callous protuberance, upon the breast of the camel, (رَحَى زَوْرِ البَعِيرِ, S, K,) which, when the animal lies down, touches [and rests] upon the ground, projecting from his body, like a cake of bread; (TA;) it is one of the five ثَفِنَات [of which there is one at each knee and one at each stifle-joint]: (S, TA:) or the breast of any animal of which the foot is of the kind called خُفّ: (K:) pl. كَرَاكِرُ. (TA.) حَزُّ الكَرَاكِرِ [lit. The incision of the كراكر] is when a camel has a disease, so that he is not even when he lies down upon his breast; in consequence of which, a vein is gently drawn forth from the كركرة, and then he [or it] is cauterized. Hence the following, in a trad. of Ibn-Ez-Zubeyr: عَطَاؤُكُمُ لِلضَّارِبِينَ رِقَابَكُمْ وَنُدْعَى إِذَا مَا كَانَ حَزُّ الْكَرَاكِرِ [Your bounty is for those who smite your necks, and we are invited when there is a difficult undertaking to be accomplished, like the incision of the كراكر:] meaning, ye invite us only when ye are distressed, because of our skill in war; and on occasions of bounty, and ampleness of the means or circumstances of life, others. (IAth.) مَكَرٌّ A place of war or fighting [where the combatants return time after time to the conflict, wheeling away and then turning back]. (S) مِكَرٌّ One who returns often [to the fight, after wheeling away, or retiring, or being put to flight]; as also ↓ كَرَّارٌ. (K) b2: فَرَسٌ مِكَرٌّ A horse that is suitable, or fit, for returning to the fight, and for charging, or assaulting. (S.) And فَرَسٌ مِكَرٌّ مِفَرٌّ A horse well trained, willing, and active, ready to return to the fight and to flee. (TA.) b3: نَاقَةٌ مِكَرَّةٌ A she-camel that is milked twice every day. (A, Sgh, K.) مُكَرَّرٌ [Repeated; reiterated]. b2: المُكَرَّرُ The letter ر: (K:) because of the faltering of the tip of the tongue which is observable when one pauses after uttering it, occasioned by the reiteration with which that is done; wherefore, with respect to إِمَالَة, [as an obstacle thereto,] it is reckoned as two letters. (TA.) b3: [مُكَرَّرٌ, in the present day, also signifies Refined, as an epithet applied to sugar, &c.]
