8 اِطَّفَرَ فَرَسَهُ ذ , inf. n. اِطِّفَارٌ; (O, TA;) accord. to the K, أَطْفَرَ, inf. n. اـِطْفَارٌ, but the former is the right; (TA;) He thrust his feet into the groins of his horse: the doing of which is a fault in the rider. (O, K, TA.) And in like manner one says of a man when he makes his camel to run: (O, TA:) i. e. اِطَّفَرَ بَعِيرَهُ, inf. n. اِطِّفَارٌ, He thrust his feet into the groins of his camel. (L.) [It seems to be tropical, from what here follows.] ― -b2- اِطَّفَرَ الرَّجُلُ, meaning He stuck his nails [into a thing] is originally اِظَّفَرَ; (TA; [in which it is said to be tropical; but for this I see no reason;]) as also اِطَّفَرَهُ he stuck his nail into it. (TA in art. ظفر.)
