1 فَغَا ذ , (K, TA,) inf. n. فَغْوٌ, (TA,) It (a thing) became revealed, disclosed, or divulged; syn. فَشَا. (K, TA.) ― -b2- And Its odour became perceptible, or perceived: occurring in a trad. in this sense, said of saffron: or, as some relate it, the verb in that instance is ↓ افغى, which means it flowered, or blossomed. (TA.) ― -b3- And, said of seed-produce (زَرْع), It dried, became dry, or dried up. (K.) -A2- فَغِىَ, aor. يَفْغَى, inf. n. فَغًا, said of dates (تَمْر), i. q. حشف, [app. a mistranscription, unless there be such as حَشِفَ, which seems to be not improbable, as one says تَمْرٌ حَشِفَ, and حَشَفٌ also; but it can hardly be doubted that the meaning is, They became bad, such as are termed حَشِفٌ or حَشَفٌ, or, which is nearly the same, such as are termed فَغًا]: so says Aboo-'Alee El-Kálee. (TA.)
