سفر

1 سَفَرَ ذ , (S, M, A, K,) aor. سَفِرَ , inf. n. سَفْرٌ, (M, K,) He swept a house, or chamber, (S, M, A, K,) &c. (M.) ― -b2- And He, or it, [ swept away; or took away, or carried off, in every direction: and] dispersed: (M, K:) and removed, took off, or stripped off, a thing from a thing which it covered. (M * A, * K.) You say, سَفَرَتِ الرِّيحُ التُّرَابَ, and الوَرَقَ, (assumed tropical:) The wind swept away the dust, and the leaves: or too them away, or carried them off, in every direction. (M.) And سَفَرَت ِ الرِّيحُ الغَيْمَ (assumed tropical:) The wind dispersed the clouds: (M, TA:) or (assumed tropical:) removed the clouds from the face of the sky. (A, * TA.) And you say of a woman, سَفَرَتْ, (S, M, A, Mgh, K,) aor. سَفِرَ , (M,) inf. n. سُفُورٌ, (M, Mgh,) meaning She removed her veil (M, A, Mgh) عَنْ وَجْهِهَا from her face: (A, M:) and [elliptically] (M) she uncovered her face: (S, M, K:) [for] سَفَرْتُ الشَّىْءَ, [being for سفرت عَنِ الشَّىْءِ,] aor. سَفِرَ , inf. n. سَفْرٌ [or سُفُورٌ?], signifies I uncovered the thing; made it apparent, or manifest: (Mgh:) [but accord. to Mtr,] the phrase تَسْفِرُ وَجْهَهَا [meaning she uncovers her face ] is of weak authority. (Mgh.) ― -b3- Hence, i. e. from سَفَرَتْ meaning “ she uncovered her face, ” (M,) سَفَرْتُ بَيْنَ القَوْمِ, (S, M, Mgh, * Msb, K,) aor. سَفِرَ (S, Msb, K) and سَفُرَ , (K,) inf. n. سِفَارَةٌ (S, Mgh, Msb, K) and سَفَارَةٌ and سَفْرٌ, (K,) (assumed tropical:) I made peace, effected a reconciliation, or adjusted a difference, between the people; (S, Mgh, Msb, K;) because he who does so exposes what is in the mind of each party: (TA:) or I exposed what was in the mind of this and the mind of this in order to make peace, &c., between the people. (M.) [See also سِفَارَةٌ, below.] ― -b4- [And likewise, perhaps, from سَفَرَتْ meaning “ she uncovered her face, ”] سَفَرَتِ الشَّمْسُ, aor. سَفِرَ , inf. n. سَفْرٌ, (assumed tropical:) The sun rose. (Msb.) ― -b5- See also 4, in two places. ― -b6- سَفَرَ, (S,) Msb,) aor. سَفِرَ , (S,) or سَفُرَ , (Msb,) inf. n. سُفُورٌ, (S,) or سَفَرٌ, (Msb,) [the former of which inf. ns. perhaps indicates a radical relation to سَفَرَتْ said of a woman, and of the sun, expl. above,] He went forth to journey: (S, Msb:) this verb, however, in this sense, [which appears to have been unknown, or not acknowledged, by the authors of the M and K, (see مُسَافِرٌ,)] is obsolete; but its inf. n. سَفَرٌ is used as a simple subst. (Msb. [See 3, the verb commonly used in this sense.]) ― -b7- [Hence, app,] سَفَرَ شَحْمُهُ (tropical:) His fat went away. (A, TA.) ― -b8- and سَفَرَتِ الحَرْبُ (tropical:) The war declined; syn. وَلَّت. (A, K.) -A2- سَفَرَ الكِتَابَ, (S, A,) aor. سَفِرَ , inf. n. سَفْرٌ, (S,) He wrote the book, or writing. (A.
