2 1َ2َّ3َ see 1, in five places. ― -b2- [Hence,] ذَرَّى رَأْسَهُ, (M, TA,) inf. n. تَذْرِيَةٌ, (TA,) He combed his head (M, TA) [ so as to remove the scurf &c. ], like as one winnows a thing: but دَرَّى [with the unpointed د] is of higher authority. (M.) -A2- ذَرَّيْتُهُ, namely, a sheep, inf. n. as above, I shore, or sheared, his wool, leaving somewhat thereof upon his back in order that he might be known thereby: and in like manner one says in relation to a camel. (S, M.) [See مُذَرًّى.] ― -b2- [Hence, app, or from ذِرَوْةٌ, as is indicated in what follows,] (assumed tropical:) I praised him. (IAar, M, K.) You say, فُلَانٌ يُذَرِّى فُلَانًا (assumed tropical:) Such a one exalts the state, or condition, of such a one; and praises him. (T.) A poet says, [namely, Ru-beh, (so in the margin of one of my copies of the S,)] عَيْدًا أُذَرِّى حَسَبِى أَنْ يُشْتَمَا (assumed tropical:) [ Purposely I praise and exalt what constitutes my grounds of pretension to respect or honour, lest it should be reviled ]: (T, S, M:) as though I put it upon the ذِرْوَةٌ [q. v.] (M.)
