📖 Lane's Lexicon (Root: فري)

[1] فَرَاهُ , (M, K,) aor. يَفْرِيهِ, (K,) inf. n. فَرْىٌ, (K,) He slit it, or cut it lengthwise, ill, or improperly; or well, or properly; as also ↓ فرّاهُ and ↓ افراهُ [both relating to both of the foregoing explanations]: (K:) or he slit it, or cut it lengthwise, and made it bad, or improper; as also ↓ فرّاهُ: or, accord. to the sound lexicologists, the former has this meaning: but ↓ افرى signifies he slit, or cut lengthwise, and made good, or proper: (M:) or ↓ افراهُ (M, K) signifies, (M,) or signifies also, (K,) he made it good, or proper: or he ordered [another] to make it so: (M, K:) as though he removed from it unsoundness, or imperfection: but some say that this signifies he slit it, or cut it lengthwise, and made it bad, or improper: and when you mean he measured it, and cut it, to make it good, or proper, you say فَرَاهُ, inf. n. فَرْىٌ: (M:) [thus, accord. to J,] فَرَى, aor. and inf. n. as above, signifies he cut a thing in order to make it good, or proper: (S:) or he cut a skin, or hide, in a good, or proper, manner: (Ks, S, Msb:) and ↓ افرى he cut it in a bad, or an improper, manner: (Ks, S:) or this signifies he slit much, in a bad, or an improper, manner: and افرى الجِلْدَ, accord. to As, he rent, tore, or slit, the skin, and made holes in it, and spoiled it: and افرى signifies also he slit a thing (S, M, Msb) of any kind; (as also ↓ فرّاهُ:]) thus you say, افرى الأَودَاجَ he slit the اوداج [or external jugular veins], (T, M, Mgh, Msb,) and made what was in them, of the blood, to come forth; (T, Mgh, Msb;) and in like manner one says of a garment, or piece of cloth, and of a جُلَّة [or receptacle for dates, made of palm-leaves woven together]; (T;) or he cut the اوداج: (S:) IAar alone mentions فَرَى أَوْدَاجَهُ and ↓ افراها: (M:) [but it is also said that فَرَى signifies he cut a نِطَع [or the like]: (K in art. خلق: [see an ex. in a verse cited in the first paragraph of that art.; also cited in the T after the first of the explanations here following, and in the M after the second thereof:]) or فَرَى, aor. and inf. n. as above, signifies he measured, and worked, or manufactured, and made good, or proper, a thing, such as a sandal, or a نِطَع [q. v.], or a water-skin, and the like: (T:) or he measured it, and cut it, to make it good, or proper: (M:) and he measured and manufactured a مَزَادَة [or leathern water-bag]: (S, K:) or he sewed, and made well, or properly, a مزادة: (T:) [it is said that] the difference between ↓ الإِفْرَٱءُ an الفَرْىُ is this, that the former signifies the cutting so as to render bad, or improper, and the slitting like as the slaughterer and the wild beast slit [their victims]; and the latter, the cutting so as to make good, or proper, like the act of cutting of the sewer of the hide, or of leather: but فَرَى sometimes occurs in the sense of افرى: (Mgh:) one says, أَفْرَيْتُ ↓ رَأْسَهُ, meaning I split, or clave, his head with a sword; like أَفْرَرْتُهُ: (Yz, T &c. in art. فر:) and افرى الجُرْحَ he slit the wound: (T:) and افرى الذِّئْبُ بَطْنَ الشَّاةِ [the wolf slit, or rent, the belly of the sheep, or goat]: (S:) and one says, قَدْ أَفْرَيْتَ وَمَا فَرَيْتَ i. e. thou hast done ill, or improperly, and hast not done well, or properly. (A, TA.) ― 2-b2- فَرَاهُ, aor. as above, [and so the inf. n.,] is sometimes metonymically used [as meaning (tropical:) He slaughtered him, or butchered him; i. e.] as denoting vehemence, or excess, in slaying. (TA.) ― 2-b3- And it means also (assumed tropical:) He cut him with censure, or satire: (TA:) and ↓ افرى means he blamed, or censured, a man. (M, K.) ― 2-b4- And you say, فَرَيْتُ الأَرْضَ (tropical:) I traversed, or crossed, (lit. travelled and cut,) the land, or country; (T, S, K, TA;) inf. n. as above. (TA.) ― 2-b5- هُوَ يَفْرِى ↓ الفَرِىَّ means (assumed tropical:) He effects what is wonderful in his deed. (S, K.) مَا يَفْرِى فَرِيَّهُ ↓ أَحَدٌ, thus, with teshdeed [to the ى in فريه] as related by A'Obeyd, is said of a courageous man [as meaning No one does his deed, or the like]: but it is said [by Kh] to be correctly فَرْيَهُ, [as an inf. n.,] without tesh-deed. (M. [See, however, what follows.]) They say, ↓ تَرَكْتُهُ يَفْرِى الفَرِىَّ, meaning [I left him] doing well, or excellently, in a deed, or in watering: [an explanation relating to what here follows:] the Prophet said, respecting 'Omar, whom he saw in a dream drawing water at a well with a great bucket, ↓ فَلَمْ أَرَ عَبْقَرِيًّا يَفْرِى فَرِيَّهُ [And I have not seen a chief of a people do his deed, &c.]: (T:) or, as some relate it, he said فَرْيَهُ: (TA:) [but] A'Obeyd says, this is like thy saying يَعْمَلُ عَمَلَهُ and يَقُولُ قَوْلَهُ; and Fr cited to us [as an ex.] ↓ قَدْ كُنْتِ تَفْرِينَ بِهِ الفَرِيَّا meaning [Verily] thou didst multiply and magnify thy words respecting it: (T: and in like manner this hemistich [which shows, by the measure, that الفَرِيَّا cannot be here a mistake for الفَرْيَا,] is expl. in the S:) it is said that ↓ فَرِىّ thus used is of the measure فَعيلٌ in the sense of the measure مَفْعُولٌ, from فَرَى signifying “ he cut ” [or “ cut lengthwise ” or “ slit ”] a hide, or leather; (Har p. 257; [where see more;]) [and this assertion is corroborated by the fact that] one says of a man strenuous, or vigorous, in an affair, and strong, تَرَكْتُهُ يَفْرِى الفَرِىَّ ↓ وَيَقُدُّ [lit. I left him slitting, or cutting, the slit, or cut, thing, and shaping]. (T.) ― 2-b6- فَرَى is also synonymous with افترى: see the latter, in two places. ― 2-b7- فَرَى البَرْقُ, aor. and inf. n. as above, signifies The lightning shone, or glistened, or shone with flickering light, and continued, in the sky. (T, TA.) ＝ 1-A2- فَرِىَ, (T, S, M, K,) aor. يَفْرَى, (T, S,) inf. n. فَرًى, (T, S, K, but omitted in the CK,) He was, or became, confounded, or perplexed, and unable to see his right course; syn. بَهِتَ, (T,) and دَهِشَ, (T, S, M, K,) and تَحَيَّرَ, (S, K,) and بَطِرَ: (Skr, on the verse here following:) El-Aalam El-Hudhalee says, وَفَرِيتُ مِنْ فَزَعٍ فَلَا أَرْمِى وَلَا وَدَّعْتُ صَاحِبْ [And I became confounded, &c., by reason of fright, so that I did not shoot an arrow, nor bade I farewell to a friend]: (T, M:) or, accord. to As, فَرِىَ, aor. يَفْرَى, signifies he looked, and knew not what he should do: (T:) and فَرِيتُ signifies also I wondered; from ↓ الفَرِىُّ meaning “ that which is wonderful. ” (Skr, on the verse above-cited.)
