فره

فَارِهٌ ذ Skilful, or possessing skill; (S, Msb, K;) part. n. of فَرُهَ, irregularly formed, for by rule it should be فَرِيهٌ: (S:) accord. to Z, it is applied to a man; and also, without ة, to a قَيْنَة [i. e. female slave, or slave-songstress]. (Msb.) ― -b2- And it is applied as an epithet to a hackney, (Az, S, Msb,) and a mule, (S,) and an ass, (Az, S, Msb,) or to a horse, or similar beast, (Az,) meaning Brisk, lively, sprightly, active, agile, or light; (Az, * Msb;) sharp; strong; that goes, or journeys, much; a great goer: (Az, TA:) it is not applied to a فَرَس, (Az, S,) i. e. to an Arabian horse; (Az, Msb;) such being termed جَوَادٌ, (Az, S, Msb,) and رَائِعٌ: (S:) 'Adee Ibn-Zeyd has applied it to the latter; but As has charged him with error in so doing; saying that he possessed not knowledge of horses: (S:) the pl. is فُرْهٌ, (S, Msb,) like بُزْلٌ and حُولٌ pls. of بَازِلٌ and حَائِلٌ, (S,) or فُرُهٌ, like كُتُبٌ, (K,) and فَرَهَةٌ, with two fet-hahs, (Msb,) or فُرْهَةٌ, (S, K,) but this is held by Sb to be a quasi-pl. n., (ISd, TA,) and فُرَّهٌ, like رُكَّعٌ, and فُرَّهَةٌ, like سُكَّرَةٌ, (K,) as in the A, but MF says that no pl. of this measure is known. (TA.) ― -b3- Also, applied to a غُلَام [i. e. youth, young man, or male slave], Beautiful, or comely, of countenance. (IAar, TA.) And [the fem.] فَارِهَةٌ signifies A beautiful, or comely, girl, or young woman: (K:) [and] so ↓ فَرْهَاآءُ, [of which the masc. is أَفْرَهُ, and] of which the pl. is فُرْهٌ; but Az says, I do not think that they use this word in relation to girls, or young women, though they may apply it peculiarly to female slaves like as they apply فَارِهٌ and فَارِهَةٌ peculiarly to hackneys and mules and jades, exclusively of Arabian horses. (Msb.) ― -b4- And فَارِهَةٌ is also syn. with فَتِيَّةٌ [i. e. A youthful females, or one in the prime of life ]: (thus accord. to several copies of the K and accord. to the TA:) or قَيْنَةٌ [i. e. a female slave, or a slave-songstress: see the first sentence of this paragraph]. (Thus in the CK.) ― -b5- And it signifies also [A woman] who eats vehemently: (K:) and فَارِهٌ applied to man, A vehement eater. (IAar, TA.)
