طَفَّ , (As, O, K,) [aor., app.,
طَفِ3َ ,] inf. n.
طَفٌّ, (TK, [or, accord. to Freytag طُفُوفٌ, which see
in what follows,]) It (a thing) was, or became, near.
(As, O, K.) You say, أَخَذْتُ مِنْ مَتَاعِى مَا خَفَّ
وَطَفَّ i. e. [I took, of my goods,] what [was light,
and] was near to me. (As, O.) And طَفَّ الشَّىْءُ مِنَ
الشَّىْءِ The thing was, or became, near to the
thing. (O, K. *) And خُذْ مَا طَفَّ لَكَ, and
ٱسْتَطَفَّ ↓ لَكَ, (S, Meyd, O, K,) and أَطَفَّ ↓ لَكَ,
(Meyd, O, TA,) Take thou what has risen to
thee, and become within thy power or reach, (S,
O, K, TA,) and become attainable [to thee], or
prepared [for thee], (AZ, Meyd, TA,) and become near to thee: (K, TA:) or what has risen
to view, and has appeared, [to thee,] to be taken:
(TA:) [for] طَفَّ, inf. n. طُفُوفٌ, signifies it rose
[app. so as to become visible]: and it was, or
became, little in quantity: the saying is a prov.,
relating to a man's being content with a part of
that which he wants: (Meyd:) and in like
manner one says, خُذْ مَا دَفَّ لَكَ, and ٱسْتَدَفَّ:
(AZ, Meyd, TA:) and Ks mentions, in relation
to a man's being content with a part of that
which he wants, the saying, خُذْ مَا طَفَّ لَكَ وَدَعْ
مَا ٱسْتَطَفَّ ↓ لَكَ [app. meaning, if the saying be
correctly thus related, Take what is within thy
power, or reach, and leave what has risen to thy
view so as to invite approach]; i. e. be content with what is within thy power. (TA.) ―
