(TA.) As an ex. of the last of the inf. ns. mentioned above on the authority of the K, the following saying, of a certain Arab, is cited: أَسْأَلُكَ الغَفِيرَهْ وَالنَّاقَةَ الغَزيِرَهْ وَالعِزَّ فِى العَشِيرَهْ فَإِنَّهَا عَلَيْكَ يَسِيرَهْ [I beg of Thee (O God) forgiveness, and a she-camel abounding in milk, and might among the kinsfolk, or in the tribe, for they are to Thee things easy]. (TA.) [See also the paragraph commencing with غَفِيرَةٌ.] ― 2-b5- In the following saying of Zuheyr, the verb is used tropically: أَضَاعَتْ فَلَمْ تُغْفَرْ لَهَا غَفَلَاتُهَا meaning [She lost her young one, and] her acts of negligence with respect to her young one were not forgiven her, by the wild beasts, so they ate it. (TA.) ― 2-b6- ↓ غَفَرَ الأَمْرَ بِغُفْرَتِهِ, (S, * K,) and ↓ بِغَفِيرَتِهِ, (K,) aor. غَفِرَ , (S,) [lit.

(TA.) And [hence, app.,] it is also said of an excessive lover, meaning He experienced a return of his desire, (K, TA,) after consolation. (TA.) ― 2-b2- غَفِرَ said of a wound signifies also It healed: thus having two contr. meanings.
