📖 Lane's Lexicon (Root: قتر)

[1] قَتَرَ , aor. قَتِرَ (S, Msb, K) and قَتُرَ , (Msb, K,) inf. n. قَتْرٌ and قُتُورٌ; (TK;) and قَتِرَ, aor. قَتَرَ ; (S, K;) It (roast meat, S, Msb, K, and a cookingpot, and burnt bone, and a perfume with which one fumigates, K, or aloes-wood, TA) exhaled its scent, smell, or odour; (S, Msb, K;) as also ↓ قتّر, inf. n. تَقْتِيرٌ. (K.) ― 2-b2- قَتَرَتِ النَّارُ The fire smoked. (TA.) ＝ 1-A2- قَتَرَ, aor. قَتُرَ and قَتِرَ , inf. n. قَتْرٌ and قُتُورٌ, It (sustenance) was barely sufficient; (K;) as also ↓ أَقْتَرَ. (CK: but this latter is omitted in the TA; and in a MS. copy of the K I find in its place أقْتَرُ, as a syn. of قَاتِرٌ and قَتُورٌ.) [This signification is implied in the K, but not expressed, and I think it doubtful.] ― 2-b2- قَتَرَ عَلَى عِيَالِهِ, aor. قَتُرَ and قَتِرَ inf. n. قَتْرٌ and قُتُورٌ; (S, Msb;) and ↓ قتّر عَلَيْهِمْ, (S, Msb, K,) inf. n. تَقْتِيرٌ; (S, Msb;) and ↓ اقتر, (S, Msb, K,) inf. n. إِقْتَارٌ; (S, Msb;) He scanted his household, stinted them, or was niggardly or parsimonious towards them, in expenditure; (S, Msb, K;) like قَدَرَ: (S, art. قدر:) as though he took only the قُتَار [or scent] of a thing. (El-Basáïr.) وَلَمْ يَقْتُرُوا in the Kur, xxv. 67, signifies وَلَمْ يَقْتُرُوا عَمَّا يَجِبُ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنَ النَّفَقَةِ [Nor are sparing of what is incumbent on them, of expenditure]. (Fr.) You say also أَقْتَرَ ↓ ٱللّٰهُ رِزْقَهُ God made his means of subsistence strait, and scanty. (IAth.) And قُتِرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقُهُ His means of subsistence were scanted, or straitened, to him, like فُدِرَ; (S, art. قدر;) and تَقَتَّرَ ↓ رِزْقُهُ [signifies the same]. (TA in art. حرف, &c.)
