(Aboo-Ziyád, L.) [The incision above mentioned is termed ↓ فُقْرَةٌ. ― -b5- Hence, app., by a tropical usage, فَقَرَ signifies (assumed tropical:) He stigmatized a man: Freytag has mentioned it as occurring in the Deewán of the Hudhalees, and meaning “ satyra perstrinxit eius vitia commemorans aliquem. ”] -A2- [فَقَرَهُ, aor. فَقُرَ , inf. n. فَقْرٌ, He, or it, broke the فَقَار (or vertebræ ) of his back. ― -b2- Hence the phrase,] فَقَرَتْهُ الفَافقِرَةُ, (S, O,) or الدَّاهِيَةُ, aor. فَقُرَ , inf. n. فَقْرٌ, (Msb,) [lit.] The calamity broke the vertebræ of his back: (S, O:) [meaning] the calamity befell him. (Msb.) -A3- فَقُرَ, with damm, [aor. فَقُرَ ,] He had a complaint of his vertebræ: and فَقِرَ, aor. فَقَرَ , inf. n. فَقَرٌ, He had a complaint of his vertebræ arising from fracture or disease.

(L, Msb.) -A2- افقرهُ نَاقَتَهُ, (S, O,) or بَعِيرَهُ, (ISk, K,) or ظَهْرَ بَعِيرِهِ, (TA,) or بَعِيرًا, (Mgh,) or دَابَّتَهُ, (A 'Obeyd, TA,) or المُهْرَ, (Msb,) He lent him the vertebræ [meaning the back ] of his she-camel, that he might ride thereon: (S, O:) and he lent him the back of his camel (ISk, K, TA) during a journey, (ISk, TA) for carrying a burden, and for riding, (ISk, K, TA,) to be returned afterwards: (ISk, TA:) and he lent him a camel, that he might ride thereon; from فَقَار signifying the “ vertebræ ” of the back: (Mgh:) and he lent him his beast to ride as long as he pleased during a journey and then to return it to him: (A 'Obeyd, TA:) and he lent him the colt to ride upon its vertebræ [or back ]. (Msb.) ― -b2- Hence, افقرهُ أَرْضَهُ (tropical:) He lent him his land for sowing. (TA, from a trad.) ― -b3- أَفْقَرَكَ الصَّيْدُ means The object of the chase has enabled thee to have its vertebræ within thy power; therefore shoot it, or shoot at it: (O, TA:) or has enabled thee to have its side [which is sometimes termed فُقْر] within thy power: (K:) or has become near to thee.

(TA.) -A3- افقرهُ also signifies He (i. e. God, S, O, K, or a man, Msb) rendered him فَقِير [meaning poor, or needy, &c.]. (S, O, Msb, K.) -A4- مَا أَفْقَرَهُ [i. e. How poor, or needy, &c., is he! ] and مَا أَغْنَاهُ [which has the contr. meaning] are [said to be] anomalous; for their [respective primitive] verbs are اِفْتَقَرَ and اِسْتَغْنَى, from either of which the verb of wonder is not properly [or regularly] formed. (S, O. [But see 8.])

5 ظَهَرَ قَبْلَنَا نَاسٌ يَتَفَقَّرُونَ العِلْمَ ذ , occurring in a trad., as some relate it, means [ There appeared before us men ] eliciting what was recondite, or obscure, of knowledge, and opening what was closed thereof; from فَقَرْتُ البِئْرَ meaning “ I dug the well to draw forth the water: ” but the reading commonly known is [يَتَقَفَّرُونَ, q. v.,] with the ق before the ف.

8 افتقر ذ He clave, slit, or rent; and opened: [see also 1, fourth sentence:] hence its usage in a trad. of 'Omar, in which, after his saying that Imra-el-Keys was the foremost of the poets, and had made the source of poetry to well forth abundantly to them, [see خَسَفَ,] he is related to have added, وَا@فْتَقَرَ عَنْ مَعانٍ عُورٍأَصَحَّ بَصَرٍ: in saying this, he attributed a sound and an opened sight to the poetry, [which he thus personified,] and in like manner he described obscure and occult meanings by applying to them the epithet عُور [generally meaning “ blind of one eye ”]: he meant that Imra-el-Keys had made the meanings of poetry clear and perspicuous, and unveiled them, and shunned substitution and obscure diction: عَنْ with what is [to be understood as] antecedently connected with it occupies the place of a noun in the accus. case as a denotative of state: it is as though he said, فَتَحَ لِلشِّعْرِأَصَحَّ بَصَرٍ مُجَاوِزًا لِلْمَعَانِى العُورِمُتَخَطِيًا لَهَا [lit. He opened, to poetry, a most sound vision, passing over half-blind meanings ]. (O.) -A2- Also, (O,) He was, or became, فَقِير [meaning poor, or needy, &c.]; (S, O, Msb, K, &c.;) and so ↓ فَقِرَ, aor. فَقَرَ , inf. n. فَقَرٌ; (Msb;) and ↓ فَقُرَ, aor. فَقُرَ ; (K;) or they said افتقر, (Sb, Msb, TA,) like as they said اِشْتَدَّ, (Sb, TA,) but they did not say فَقُرَ, (Sb, Msb, TA,) like as they did not say شَدُدَ, (Sb, TA,) افتقر serving them instead of فَقُرَ; (Msb;) nor did they use any unaugmented form of this verb. (Sb, TA.) ― -b2- And one says, افتقر اـِلَيْهِ He, or it, wanted, needed, or required, him, or it; [a phrase of frequent occurrence; like فَقِيرٌ اـِلَيْهِ;] i. q. اِحْتَاجَ اليه. (TA in art. حوج.)

(S, K.) ― -b2- And فَقْرٌ signifies also Anxiety; or disquietude, or trouble, of mind: pl. فُقُورٌ: (O, K, TA:) one says, شَكَى اـِلَيْهِ فُقُورَهُ He complained to him of his anxieties; &c.: and it means also, his circumstances, and wants: (TA:) [for,] accord. to IAar, the phrase فُقُورُ النَّفْسِ is like شُقُورُهَا. (O.) -A2- See also فَقْرَةٌ.

فُقْرٌ ذ : see the next preceding paragraph. -A2- Also The side: pl. فُقَرٌ, (K, TA,) which is extr. [in respect of analogy]: mentioned by Kr. (TA.) [See أَفْقَرَكَ الصَّيْدُ.]

[or n. un.] is correctly ↓ فَقُرَةٌ, with fet-h and then damm, mentioned by Sb as a word of a rare form, of which the pl. [or coll. gen. n.] is ↓ فَقُرٌ, as it has no broken pl.; and expl. by Th. (TA.)

فُقْرَةٌ ذ A hollow dug in the ground: pl. فُقَرٌ. (O, K, TA.) ― -b2- And The [ incision termed ] قُرْمَة (IAar, O, TA) that is made in the nose [or muzzle ] (IAar, O) of the camel, (IAar, O, TA,) [ in order to render him tractable, (see 1, near the beginning,)] after which [ if necessary ] another is made, [ above it, ] and then another, until he becomes gentle: (IAar, O:) pl.

Hence the saying of 'Aacute;ïsheh, in relation to [the murder of] 'Othmán, [app. alluding to its involving three violations, namely, the violation of the sacredness of the city in which it was perpetrated and of the month in which it occurred and of the person of the Khaleefeh,] بَلَغْتُمْ مِنْهُ الفُقَرَ الثَّلَاثَ, meaning (tropical:) Ye have done to him the like of your deed to the camel above mentioned [ upon which ye have inflicted the three فُقَر]: thus expl. by AZ.

(S, O, K, KT.) ― -b4- And hence, as being likened to the best verse in an ode, فِقْرَهٌ means (tropical:) (tropical:) Any choice phrase or sentence: (KT:) one says, مَا أَحْسَنَ فِقَرَ كَلَامِهِ i. e.

(S. [This phrase in the S has been strangely misunderstood by Golius; who has consequently, after mentioning the meaning “ infortunium, ” added “ et Habena seu capistrum, de quo in Conj. 1. ”]) ― -b2- And [hence] الفَاقِرَةُ signifies (assumed tropical:) The resurrection.

(Lh, O.) ― -b2- فَقَصَ فُلَانٌ بَيْضَ الفِتْنَةِ [lit. Such a one broke asunder the eggs of sedition, or the like, ] is a tropical phrase [meaning (tropical:) such a one originated sedition, &c.]. (A, TA.) ― -b3- [Golius has assigned to فَقَصَ, constr. with an accus., another signification (“ assecutus fuit rem ”), as on the authority of the K; app. from a mistranscription in the explanation of المِفْقَاص, in a copy of that lexicon.]
