2 قرّط الجَارِيَةَ ذ , (S, K,) inf. n. تَقْرِيطٌ, (TA,) He adorned the girl, or young woman with the [ ornament called ] قُرْط. (S, * K.) A rájiz says, addressing his wife, (S, TA,) who had asked him to adorn her with a pair of ornaments of the kind so called, (TA,) قَرَّطَكِ ا@للّٰهُ عَلَى العَيْنَيْنِ عَقَارِبًا سُودًا وَأَرْقَمَيْنِ (assumed tropical:) [ May God suspend to thee, upon the two eyes, black scorpions, and two black and white serpents ]. (S, TA.) [See also another tropical usage of the verb voce شَنَّفَ.] ― -b2- Hence, (TA,) قرّط الفَرَسَ (tropical:) He put, or threw, the bridle (لِجَام) upon the horse's head; (S, TA;) this is what is meant by the explanation أَلْجَمَهَا in the K: (TA:) or he placed the horse's reins behind his ears, in putting the bridle on his head: (Sgh, K: *) or it has the former of the meanings explained above, and also signifies, he (the rider) stretched forth his hand so as to put it upon the back of the horse's head, upon the place where the عِذَار is tied, while the horse was running: (IDrd:) or he incited the horse to the most vehement running; (TA, and so in the CK, excepting that الخَيْلَ is there put in this instance in the place of الفرس;) because, when his running is vehement, the rein is extended upon the ear, and so becomes like the قُرْط: accord. to the A, قرّط الفَرَسَ عِنَانَهُ means (tropical:) he slackened the horse's rein so that it fell upon, or against, the part behind the ear, the place of the قُرْط, in urging him to run. (TA.) ― -b3- And hence, (A,) قَرَّطْتُ اـِلَيْهِ رَسُولًا (tropical:) I hastened to him a messenger: (Ibn- 'Abbád, TA:) or I dismissed (lit. flung ) in haste to him a messenger: a phrase doubly tropical. (A, TA.) And hence تَقْرِيطٌ is used by the vulgar to signify the act of (tropical:) notifying: and (tropical:) desiring to hasten: and (tropical:) straitening: and (tropical:) confirming, or corroborating, in an affair or a command: in all which senses it is trebly tropical. (TA.) -A2- قرّط عَلَيْهِ (tropical:) He gave him little; (K, TA;) or by little and little. (TA.) [This is said in the TA to be from القِرَاطُ; app. meaning from القِرَاطُ as a dial. var. of القِيرَاطُ: but IDrd says, that from this phrase is derived القيراط.] -A3- [ He cut, or clipped, money.]
