عر

عَرٌّ ذ The mange, or scab; (S, A, Mgh, O, K;) as also ↓ عُرٌّ (K) and ↓ عُرَّةٌ (IF, Msb, K) and ↓ عَرَّةٌ: (IF, Msb, and so in a copy of the A:) see also عَرَرٌ: or عَرٌّ has this signification; but ↓ عُرٌّ, with damm, signifies purulent pustules in the necks of young, or unweaned, camels: and a certain disease, in consequence of which the fur of the camel falls off, (K, TA,) so that the skin appears and shines; as some say: (TA:) or purulent pustules, like the [ cutaneous eruption called ] قُوَبَاآء [q. v.], which comes forth in camels, dispersedly, in their lips (S, O) and their legs, (S,) discharging a fluid which resembles yellow water; in consequence of which the healthy camels are cauterized, in order that the diseased may not communicate to them the malady. (S, O.) En-Nábighah says, (addressing En-Noamán Ibn-El-Mundhir, O,) فَحَمَّلْتَنِى ذَنْبَ ا@مْرِئٍ وَتَرَكْتَهُ يُكْوَى غَيْرُهُ وَهْوَ رَاتِعُ ↓ كَذِى العُرِّ [ And thou hast charged me with the crime, or offence, of a man other than myself, and left him like that which has the disease called عُرّ, another than which is cauterized while he is pasturing at pleasure ]: he who says العَرّ, in relating this verse, errs; for cauterization is not practised as a preservative from the mange, or scab. (IDrd, S, O.) ― -b2- [Hence, app.,] (assumed tropical:) A vice, or fault, or the like. (Har p. 366.) [See also عُرَّة.] ― -b3- And (assumed tropical:) Evil, or mischief. (Har ibid.) One says, لَقِيتُ مِنْهُ شَرًّا وَعَرًّا (assumed tropical:) [ I experienced from him, or it, evil and mischief: the two nouns being synonymous: and the latter of them also an inf. n. of عَرَّهُ, q. v.]. (TA: but written without any syll. signs.) [See also an instance of the use of the phrase شَرٌّ وَعَرٌّ voce دَفِينٌ.] ― -b4- See also عَارٌّ.
