lxxv. 10] means Whither is the [fleeing or] turning
away &c.? (M, TA:) or it may mean when is the
time thereof? (TA:) and اين المَفِرُّ, another reading,
where is the place of fleeing &c.? (I'Ab, Zj, S, M,
TA,) as also المِفَرُّ, (Zj, K, TA,) which is an instrumental noun used as a noun of place: (K, TA:) but

2-b2- فَرَّ
مِنْ عَدُوِهِ, aor. as above, inf. n. فَرٌّ, He wheeled

(Msb.) ―
2-b3- And فَرَّ إِلَى الشَّىْءِ He went, or betook

1-A2- فَرَّ الفَرَسَ, (S, O,) or الدَّابَّةَ,
(M, K,) aor.
فَرُ3َ , (S, M, O,) i. e. with damm, (O,)
[in copies of the K
فَرِ3َ , but afterwards in those
copies
فَرُ3َ , which is the regular and correct form,]
inf. n. فَرٌّ (S, M, O, K) and فُرَارٌ and فِرَارٌ and فَرَارٌ,
(K,) or فُرَارٌ is a simple subst., and فِرَارٌ is an inf. n.,
(Meyd, in explanation of the prov. which here
follows,) He looked at, or examined, the teeth of
the horse, (S, O,) or he exposed to view the teeth
of the beast that he might see what was its age.
(M, K.) Hence, (TA,)
إِنَّ الجَوَادَ عَيْنُهُ فُرَارُهُ
(S, M, * Meyd, K, *) and فِرَارُهُ, (M, Meyd, K,)
and فَرَارُهُ, (S, K,) sometimes thus pronounced
with fet-h, (S,) (tropical:) [Verily the fleet and excellent
horse, his aspect (see عَيْنٌ) is (equivalent to) the
examination of his teeth, i. e. he is known by his
aspect], is a prov., applied to him whose external
state indicates his internal qualities; (Meyd, O,
K;) meaning that one knows his excellence from
his عَيْن [i. e. aspect] like as one knows the age
of a beast by examining his teeth; (TA;) his
external appearance rendering it needless for thee
to test him, (S, Meyd, O, K,) and to examine
(أَنْ تَفُرَّ) his teeth: (S, O, K:) and [with the
same meaning] one says, فَرُّ الجَوَادِ عَيْنُهُ: (A, TA:)
and [in like manner] الخَبِيثُ عَينُهُ فُرِاَرُهُ [The bad,
his aspect &c.]; (Meyd, O, TA;) i. e. thou knowest his badness by his عَيْن when thou seest him.
(TA.) And one says also, فَرَرْتُ فَمَ الفَرَسِ I
opened the mouth of the horse that I might know
his age. (Har p. 28.) And فَرَّ عَنْ أَسْنَانِ الدَّابَّةِ,
aor.
فَرِ3َ , He examined the teeth of the beast. (Har
p. 233.) ―
2-b2- [Hence the saying of El-Hajjáj, فُرِرْتُ
عَنْ ذَكَآءٍ, expl. in art. ذكو.] And [hence also]
one says, فَرَّهُ عَنْ أَشْيَآءِ (tropical:) He examined him respecting things (O, * TA.) And فَرَّ الأَمْرَ, (M, TA,)
and فَرَّ عَنِ الأَمْرِ, (S, M, O, K, TA,) (tropical:) He examined, looked into, scrutinized, or investigated, the
affair; searched into it; inquired, or sought information, respecting it. (S, M, O, K, TA.) And
فَرَّ فُلَانٌ عَمَّا فِى نَفْسِى (tropical:) Such a one interrogated me
in order that he might know, from what I should
say, what was in my mind. (TA.) ―
2-b3- And فُرَّ الأَمْرُ
جَذَعًا (assumed tropical:) The thing returned to its first state; it
recommenced. (M, O, K.) And فُرَّ الأَمْرَ جَذَعًا
(assumed tropical:) Commence thou the affair from the first thereof.
(M, in the TT. [But the MS. has in this case,
as in that here immediately preceding, الامرُ: the
right reading is evidently الامرَ; as in a similar
phrase voce جَذَعٌ, q. v.]) ＝
1-A3- فَرَّ, aor. يَفِرُّ or يَفَرُّ,
(accord. to different copies of the T,) He became
intelligent after being weak [in mind]. (IAar, T,
TA.)
