جفل

1 جَفَلَ جفل , (S, Msb, K,) aor. جَفِلَ and جَفُلَ , inf. n. جَفْلٌ (Msb) and جُفُولٌ, (Msb, K,) He (a camel) took fright, or shied, and fled, or ran away at random; or became refractory, and went away at random; or ran away, or broke loose, and went hither and thither by reason of his sprightliness: and ↓ اجفل he (a bird) took fright, and flew away; or became scared away: (Msb:) or the former, he (an ostrich, K) hastened, or sped, (S, K,) in his pace, (TA,) and went away in the land, or country; as also ↓ اجفل; (IDrd, K;) both, said of an ostrich, mean he spread his wings, running; (Ham p. 555;) or spread his wings, and ran quickly, or went away at random and swiftly: (TA:) or جَفَلَتِ النَّعَامَةُ means the ostrich fled: (Msb:) and عَنْهُ ↓ اجفل, said of anything, he fled from it: (TA, Ham p. 555:) and جَفَلُوا, aor. جَفُلَ , inf. n. جَفْلٌ; (Msb;) and ↓ اجفلوا (S, Msb) and ↓ انجفلوا and ↓ تجفّلوا; (Msb;) they (a company of men) fled quickly; (S, Msb;) or the second (K) and third (S, K) signify they became displaced, (S, K, TA,) and quickly defeated, (TA,) and went away; (S, K, TA;) or these two and the fourth, (TA,) or all the four, (Har p. 373,) they hastened in defeat and flight: (TA, and Har ubi suprà:) and جَفَلَتِ الرِّيحُ, (K,) and ↓ اجفلت, (S, K,) the wind was swift (S, K, TA) in blowing. (TA.) ― -b2- جَفَلَ, inf. n. جُفُولٌ, (tropical:) It (hair) became shaggy, or dishevelled, and frouzy, or altered in smell, in consequence of its being seldom dressed; or dusty and matted, by reason of its being seldom anointed; (K, TA;) and became raised and spread. (TA.) -A2- جَفَلَ is also trans., signifying He made a bird to take fright, and fly away; or he scared it away: its quasi-pass. is ↓ اجفل [explained above]; the reverse of the rule commonly obtaining: (Msb:) or the former verb, as in the O; not the latter, as in the K; he made a male ostrich to hasten, or speed, in his pace, and to go away in the land, or country; or made him to spread his wings, and run quickly, or go away at random and swiftly: (TA:) and ↓ جفّل he, or it, made an animal, or animals, to take fright, and flee, or run away at random; or scared away it, or them: (TA:) [and, app., he frightened; تَجْفِيلٌ being also said in the TA to be syn. with تَفْرِيعٌ, which, I think, is evidently a mistranscription for تَفْزِيعٌ.] You say, القَنَّاصُ الوَحْشَ ↓ جفّل [ The sportsman scared away the wild animals ]. (TA.) And عَنْ مَرَاكِزِهِمْ ↓ أَتَوْهُمْ فَجَفَّلُوهُمْ [ They came to them, and scared them, or frightened them, or made them to flee, away from their stations ]. (TA.) And جَفَلَتِ الرِّيحُ الظَّلِيمَ The wind put in motion the male ostrich, and drove him away, or along: (K:) and [in like manner] السَّفِينَةَ [(assumed tropical:) the ship ]. (TA.) And جَفَلَتِ الرِّيحُ السَّحَابَ (tropical:) The wind smote the clouds, and put them into a state of commotion, (K, TA,) and made them to speed along. (TA.) And الرِّيحُ تَجْفِلُ الجَهَامَ (assumed tropical:) The wind carries away the rainless clouds. (Mgh. [See also 4.]) Whence, app., (Mgh,) جَفَلَ البَحْرُ سَمَكًا (assumed tropical:) The sea cast fish upon the shore; (Lth, Mgh, K;) a verb like ضَرَبَ; occurring in a trad., in which it is erroneously said to be أَجْفَلَ. (Mgh.) ― -b2- Also, (K,) aor. جَفِلَ , inf. n. جَفْلٌ, (TA,) He prostrated a man; threw him down upon the ground. (K.) You say, طَعَنَهُ فَجَفَلَهُ, meaning He thrust him, or pierced him, [with a spear or the like,] and displaced and prostrated him. (Mgh.) ― -b3- He threw goods one upon another. (IDrd, Msb, TA.) ― -b4- He, or it, overturned, or turned upside-down. (TA.) ― -b5- Also, aor. جَفِلَ , (K,) inf. n. جَفْلٌ, (TA,) He peeled, pared, stripped, or scraped off, a thing; (AZ, K, TA;) as, for instance, flesh from the bone, and fat from the skin; (AZ, TA;) and so ↓ جفّل, (K,) inf. n. تَجْفِيلٌ: (TA:) he removed flesh from the bone: (K:) app. formed by transposition from جَلَفَ. (TA.) ― -b6- Also, (Msb, K,) aor. جَفُلَ , (Msb,) or جَفِلَ , (K,) He swept away mud (Msb, K, TA) from the ground; (TA;) and so ↓ جفّل. (K.) [It seems that Golius found, in a copy of the K, التِّبْنَ erroneously put for الطِّينَ; and حَرَقَهُ for جَرَفَهُ; for he has explained the former verb as meaning “ combussit stramen. ”]
