R. Q. 1 فَرْفَرَهُ ذ , (S, M, K, &c.,) inf. n. فَرْفَارٌ, (M,) or فِرْفَارٌ, (TA,) He put in a state of motion, commotion, or agitation; shook; or shook about; (S, M, K;) it, (S, K,) or him. (M.) One says of a horse, يُفَرْفِرُ اللِّجَامَ فِى فِيهِ He puts in a state of motion, &c., the bit in his mouth. (M. [See also an explanation of the verb as intrans., in what follows.]) ― -b2- He broke it, i. e. a thing. (M, K.) ― -b3- He cut it. (K.) ― -b4- He clave, split, slit, rent, or tore, it. (TA.) [Thus] فَرْفَرَ signifies He rent, or tore, [skins such as are termed] زِقَاق [pl. of زِقٌّ], and other things; (O, K, TA;) and slit, or rent, them much. (TA. [In two copies of the T, instead of الزِّقَاقَ وَغَيْرَهَا, the reading in the O and K and TA, I find الرُقاقَ وغيره.]) ― -b5- [ He mangled it. ] One says, الذِّئْبُ يُفَرْفِرُ الشَّاةَ The wolf mangles the sheep, or goat. (O, * TA.) ― -b6- And, (O, K, TA,) hence, (O,) inf. n. فَرْفَرَةٌ, (TA,) (assumed tropical:) He defamed him, and mangled his reputation. (O, K, TA.) ― -b7- And (assumed tropical:) He discommended it, [ as though ] mangling it with discommendation: the verb occurs in this sense in a trad., having for its object الدُّنْيَا [meaning the enjoyments, or good, of the present world ].

(IAar, T, TA.) ― -b6- And He confounded, or confused, and was profuse, فِى كَلَامِهِ [ in his speaking, or talking, or his speech, or talk ]. (M, K.) ― -b7- And [app. He talked; for] الفَرْفَرَةٌ signifies الكَلَامُ [which is often used as a quasi-inf. n. of كلّم].
