مَخَرَتِ السَّفِينَةُ، كَمَنَعَ، وَنَصَرَ، تَمْخَرُ وَتَمْخُرُ مَخْرًا وَمَخُورًا، كَمَنَعَ وَقُعُودَ: جَرَتْ تَشُقُّ الْمَاءَ مَعَ صَوْتٍ

The ship sailed, like 'manaa' and 'nasara', it sails and sails, making a sound and a roaring, like 'manaa' and 'qu'ood': it ran, splitting the water with a sound.

وَتَرَى الْفُلْكَ فِيهِ مَوَاخِرَ يَعْنِي جَوَارِيَ

And you see the ships in it, cutting through (the water), meaning sailing.

وَقِيلَ: الْمَوَاخِرُ هِيَ الَّتِي يُسْمَعُ صَوْتُ جَرْيِهَا بِالرِّيَاحِ، قَالَهُ الْفَرَّاءُ

And it was said: The 'mawaakhir' are those whose running sound is heard with the winds, said Al-Faraa'.

وَالْمَخْرُ فِي الْأَصْلِ: الشَّقُّ، يُقَالُ: مَخَرَتِ السَّفِينَةُ الْمَاءَ، إِذَا شَقَّتْهُ بِصَدْرِهَا وَجَرَتْ، قَالَهُ أَبُو الْهَيْثَمِ

And 'makhra' in origin is: the splitting. It is said: The ship split the water, if it split it with its front and ran, said Abu Al-Haytham.

وَامْتَخَرَهُ، أَيْ: اخْتَارَهُ

And he selected it, meaning: he chose it.

وَامْتَخَرَ الْعِظَامَ، إِذَا اسْتَخْرَجَ مُخَّهُ

And he extracted the marrow from the bones, if he extracted its marrow.

وَامْتَخَرَ الْفَرَسُ الرِّيحَ: قَابَلَهَا بِأَنْفِهِ لِيَكُونَ أَرُوحَ لِنَفْسِهِ، كَاسْتَمْخَرَهَا، وَتَمَخَّرَهَا

And the horse faced the wind with its nose to be more airy for itself, like 'istamakhara' and 'tamakhara' it.

فَفِي النَّوَادِرِ: تَمَخَّرَتِ الْإِبِلُ الرِّيحَ، إِذَا اسْتَقْبَلَتْهَا وَاسْتَنَشَقَتْهَا

So in Al-Nawadir: The camels faced the wind, if they received it and smelled it.

فَقَالَ: خَرَجْتُ أَتَمَخَّرُ الرِّيحَ، كَأَنَّهُ أَرَادَ: أَسْتَنْشِقُهَا

So he said: I went out inhaling the wind, as if he meant: I am smelling it.

وَمَخَرَ الْأَرْضَ، كَمَنَعَ، مَخْرًا: أَرْسَلَ فِي الصَّيْفِ فِيهَا الْمَاءَ لِتَجُودَ

And he made the land fertile, like 'manaa', a 'makhra': he sent water into it in the summer so it would yield well.

فَمَخَرَتْ هِيَ أَيْ: الْأَرْضُ، كَمَنَعَ أَيْضًا كَمَا يَدُلُّ عَلَيْهِ صَرِيحُ ضَبْطِ الْمُصَنِّفِ، وَضَبَطَهُ ابْنُ الْقَطَّاعِ بِالْمَبْنِيِّ لِلْمَجْهُولِ، وَزَادَ: فَهِيَ مَمْخُورَةٌ: جَادَتْ وَطَابَتْ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْمَاءِ

So it, meaning the land, became fertile, like 'manaa' also, as is clearly indicated by the author's notation. And Ibn Al-Qatta' vocalized it as passive, and added: So it is 'mamkhoora': it yielded well and became pleasant from that water.

وَمَخَرَ الْبَيْتَ يَمْخُرُهُ مَخْرًا: أَخَذَ خِيَارَ مَتَاعِهِ فَذَهَبَ بِهِ

And he took from the house, he 'yamkhuruhu' a 'makhra': he took the best of his belongings and went with them.

وَمَخَرَ الْغَزْرَ، بِالضَّمِّ وَسُكُونِ الزَّايِ، النَّاقَةَ يَمْخُرُهَا مَخْرًا، إِذَا كَانَتْ غَزِيرَةً فَأَكْثَرَ حَلَبَهَا فَجَهَدَهُ ذَلِكَ وَأَهْزَلَهُ

And he 'makhara' the abundant, with damma and sukoon of the zaa', the she-camel, he 'yamkhuruha' a 'makhra', if she was abundant and he milked her excessively, so that exhausted her and made her thin.

وَالْمَاخُورُ: بَيْتُ الرِّيبَةِ وَمَجْمَعُ أَهْلِ الْفِسْقِ وَالْفَسَادِ

And 'al-maakhoor': the house of suspicion and the gathering place of the people of immorality and corruption.

مَا هَذِهِ الْمَوَاخِيرُ، الشَّرَابُ عَلَيْهِ حَرَامٌ حَتَّى تُسَوَّى بِالْأَرْضِ هَدْمًا وَإِحْرَاقًا

What are these 'mawaakhir'? Drinking is forbidden on them until they are leveled to the ground, demolished and burned.

وَبَنَاتُ مَخْرٍ، بِالْفَتْحِ: سَحَائِبُ بِيضٌ حِسَانٌ رِقَاقٌ مُنْتَصِبَاتٌ يَأْتِينَ قَبْلَ الصَّيْفِ، وَهُنَّ بَنَاتُ الْمَخْرِ

And 'banaatu makhra', with fatha: white, beautiful, thin, upright clouds that come before summer, and they are 'banaatu al-makhri'.

وَالْمَخْرَةُ: مَا خَرَجَ مِنَ الْجَوْفِ مِنْ رَائِحَةٍ خَبِيثَةٍ

And 'al-makhra': what comes out from the inside of a foul smell.

وَفِي كُلِّ طَائِرٍ ذَفِرُ الْمَخْرَةِ

And in every bird, there is a foul smell from its vent.

وَالْمَخْرَةُ مِثْلُثَةٌ: الشَّيْءُ الَّذِي تَخْتَارُهُ، وَالْكَسْرُ أَعْلَى، وَهَذَا مَخْرَةُ الْمَالِ، أَيْ خِيَارُهُ

And 'al-makhra', with three vowels: the thing that you choose, and the kasra is highest. And this is 'makhra'tu al-maal', meaning its best.

وَفِي الْحَدِيثِ: إِذَا أَرَادَ أَحَدُكُمْ الْبَوْلَ فَلْيَتَمَخَّرِ الرِّيحَ، أَيْ فَلْيَنْظُرْ مِنْ أَيْنَ مَجْرَاهَا فَلَا يَسْتَقْبِلْهَا كَيْ لَا تَرُدَّ عَلَيْهِ الْبَوْلَ وَيَتَرشش عَلَيْهِ بَوْلُهُ، وَلَكِنْ يَسْتَدْبِرُهَا

And in the hadith: If one of you wants to urinate, let him face the wind, meaning let him look from where its course is, and not face it so that it does not turn the urine back on him and his urine splashes on him, but rather let him turn his back to it.

وَفِي لَفْظٍ آخَرَ: اسْتَمْخِرُوا، رَوَاهُ النَّضْرُ بْنُ شُمَيْلٍ مِنْ حَدِيثِ سَرَاقَةَ، وَنَصُّهُ: إِذَا أَتَيْتُمُ الْغَائِطَ فَاسْتَمْخِرُوا الرِّيحَ، أَيْ اجْعَلُوا ظُهُورَكُمْ إِلَى الرِّيحِ عِنْدَ الْبَوْلِ كَأَنَّهُ، هَكَذَا فِي سَائِرِ النُّسَخِ، وَفِي النِّهَايَةِ لِابْنِ الْأَثِيرِ: لِأَنَّهُ إِذَا وَلَّاهَا فَكَأَنَّهُ قَدْ شَقَّهَا بِظَهْرِهِ فَأَخَذَتْ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَيَسَارِهِ

And in another wording: 'Istamkhiruu', narrated by Al-Nadr bin Shumayl from the hadith of Suraqa, and its text is: If you go to the latrine, then face the wind, meaning make your backs to the wind when urinating, as if it, thus in all copies. And in Al-Nihaya by Ibn Al-Athir: because if he turns his back to it, it is as if he has split it with his back, and it has taken to his right and left.

وَمَخْرَى، كَسَكْرَى: وَادٍ بِالْحِجَازِ ذُو حُصُونٍ وَقُرًى

And 'Makhra', like 'sakra': a valley in Hijaz with fortresses and villages.

وَمَخَرَ الْأَرْضَ مَخْرًا: شَقَّهَا لِلزِّرَاعَةِ

And he made the land fertile, a 'makhra': he split it for cultivation.

وَمَخَرَ الْمَرْأَةَ مَخْرًا: بَاضَعَهَا

And he penetrated the woman, a 'makhra': he had intercourse with her.

وَلَتَمْخُرَنَّ الرُّومُ الشَّامَ وَتَخُوضُهُ. وَتَجُوسُ خِلَالَهُ وَتَتَمَكَّنُ فِيهِ. فَشَبَّهَهُ بِمَخْرِ السَّفِينَةِ الْبَحْرَ

And the Romans will surely pierce the Levant and wade through it. And they will roam through its midst and establish themselves in it. So he likened it to the ship's piercing of the sea.

وَتَمَخَّرَتِ الْإِبِلُ الْكَلَأَ، إِذَا اسْتَقْبَلَتْهُ كَذَا فِي النَّوَادِرِ

And the camels faced the pasture, if they received it, thus in Al-Nawadir.

وَبَعْضُ الْعَرَبِ تَقُولُ: مَخَرَ الذِّئْبُ الشَّاةَ، إِذَا شَقَّ بَطْنَهَا. كَذَا فِي اللِّسَانِ

And some Arabs say: The wolf 'makhara' the sheep, if it split its belly. Thus in Al-Lisan.
