طَرْفَةٌ ذ [ A wink, i. e.] a closing of one of the eyelids upon the other: (S, O, K:) or [ a twinkling of the eye, i. e.] a putting the eyelids in motion or in a state of commotion. (K.) One says أَسْرَعُ مِنْ طَرْفَةِ عَيْنٍ [ Quicker than a wink, or a twinkling of an eye ]. (S, O.) And مَا يُفَارِقُنِى طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ [ He does not separate himself from me during a wink, or a twinkling of an eye ]. (TA.) ― -b2- Also A red spot of blood, in the eye, occasioned by a blow or some other cause. (S, O, K.) ― -b3- And A brand, or mark made with a hot iron, having to it no أَطْرَاف [or sides, or lateral portions ], being only a line. (Ibn-'Abbád, O, K.) -A2- And الطَّرْفَةُ A certain star or asterism (نَجْمٌ). (K. [There thus mentioned as though different from the asterism commonly called الطَّرْفُ, which I do not believe to be the case: see the latter appellation.])
