Form: 12

Full Definition

اعرورى , or الدَّابَّةَ, He rode the horse, or the beast, without a saddle, and having nothing beneath him; the verb being of the measure اِفْعَوْعَلَ, a measure of which there is no other trans. v. except اِحْلَوْلَى.
2 Hence the usage of the verb in the saying of Taäbbata-Sharrà يَظَلُّ بِمَوْمَاةٍ وَيُمْسِى بِغَيْرِهَا جَحِيشًا وَيَعْرَوْرِى ظُهُورَ المَهَالِكِ He passes the day in a waterless desert, and enters upon the evening in another than it, alone, and he ventures upon [the surfaces of] the places of perdition without anything to protect him from them. [See also an ex. of the act. part. n. in a verse cited in the second paragraph of art. دوم.]
3 And اعرورى السَّرَابُ الآكَامَ means رَكِبَهَا [i. e. The mirage surmounted the hills, or mounds].
4 And اعرورى أَمْرًا قَبِيحًا He ventured upon, or did, an evil, or a foul, thing; syn. رَكِبَهُ, or أَتَاهُ, or both.
5 اعرورى signifies also He journeyed by himself, alone, in the earth, or land.
