دَرَى الشَّىْءَ He knew the thing; syn. عَلِمَهُ;
(M;) [and so دَرَى بِالشَّىْءِ; for] you say, دَرَيْتُهُ
(S, Msb, K) and دَرَيْتُ بِهِ, (S, K,) aor. أَدْرِى, (Msb,
K,) inf. n. دَرْىٌ (S, M, Msb, K) and دِرْىٌ (Lh,
M, K) and دِرْيَةٌ (S, M, Msb, K) and دَرْيَةٌ, (M, *
K,) which last is said by Sb to be not used as an
inf. n. of un., but as denoting a state, or condition, (M,) and, accord. to some copies of the
S, دُرْيَةٌ, (TA, [so in one of my copies of the S,])
and دِرَايَةٌ (S, M, Msb, K) and دَرَيَانٌ and دِرْيَانٌ
(M, K) and دُرِىٌّ, (TS, K,) I knew it; (S, Msb,
K;) syn. عَلِمْتُهُ (Msb, K) or عَلِمْتُ بِهِ: (S:) or
it has a more special meaning than عَلِمْتُهُ: it is
said to signify I knew it after doubting: so says
Aboo-'Alee: (TA:) or I knew it by a sort of
artifice, or cunning, or skill; (K, TA;) or with
painstaking, and artifice or cunning or skill;
(Har p. 24;) and therefore دَرَى is not said of
God: (TA:) a rájiz says, (S, * TA,) but this is
an instance of the rude speech of the Arabs of
the desert, (TA,)
↓ لَا هُمَّ لَا أَدْرِى وَأَنْتَ الدَّارِى
[O God, I know not, but Thou art the knowing]:
(S, TA: [in Har, p. 24, it is cited as commencing
with اَلّٰهُمَّ, and therefore as a prose-saying,
ascribed to Mohammad, and as adduced by some
to show that الدَّارِى is allowable as an epithet
applied to God:]) or, as some relate it, لَا أَدْرِ,
(S,) in which the ى is elided in consequence of
the frequent usage of the phrase; (S, M;) like
the phrases لَمْ أُبَلْ and لَمْ يَكُ; (S;) and like
لَا يَأْلُ in the saying أَقْبَلَ بِضَرْبَهٍ لَا يَأْلُ [q. v. in
art. الو]. (M.) [The saying لَا دَرَيْتُ وَلَا ٱئْتَليْتَ
or أَلَيْتَ &c. is explained in the latter part of
the first paragraph of art. الو.] One says,
مَا أَدْرِى أَىُّ النَّاسِ هُوَ [I know not who of mankind
he is]. (The Lexicons passim.) And IAar mentions the saying مَا تَدْرِى مَا دِرْيْتُهَا, (M,) or دُرَيْتُهَا,
(TA,) as meaning Thou knowest not (مَا تَعْلَمُ
[which may also be rendered she knows not])
what is her knowledge. (M, TA.) ＝

M, K,) aor. يَدْرِى, (T, S,) inf. n. دَرْىٌ, (T, M, K,)
He deceived, deluded, beguiled, circumvented, or
outwitted, (ISk, T, S, M, K,) a man, (ISk, T,)

↓ تدرّى: (T, S, M, K: [ادْراهُ in the CK is a
mistake for ادّراهُ:]) he hid, or concealed, himself,
and deceived, deluded, &c. (S.) A rájiz says,
↓ كَيْفَ تَرَانِىأَذَّرِى وَأَدَّرِى
غِرَّاتِ جُمْلٍ وَتَدَرَّى ↓ غِرَرِى
(T, S, M) i. e. How seest thou me winnowing the
dust of the mine and deceiving Juml by looking
at her while she is inadvertent, (T, S,) she also
deceiving me [by looking at me while I am inadvertent]: تَدَرَّى being for تَتَدَرَّى. (S.) See

also ذَرَّىَ:]) and ↓ تَدَرَّتْ she (a woman, S) loosed
and let down, or loosed and separated, or combed,
her hair (S, K, TA) with the مِدْرَاة. (TA.)
