بَحْثَرَ

Q. 1 [Verbal.Noun بَحْثَرَةٌ,] He took, drew, or pulled, a thing out, or forth; and uncovered it, laid it open, or exposed it; as also بَعْثَرَ. It is said in the Kur [c. 9], accord. to one reading, بُعْثِرَ بُحْثِرَ مَا فِى القُبُورِ, [instead of بُعْثِرَ,] meaning [When that which is in the graves is taken forth and uncovered; i. e.,] when the dead are raised to life; syn. بُعِثَ; and it is not improbable that بَحْثَرَ may be composed of بَحَثَ and أَثَرَ [app. a mistranscription for أَثَارَ], accord. to the opinion of those who hold that quadriliteral and quinqueliteral words are composed of two.
2 He searched, or sought, for, or after, a thing in the dust or earth, or the like; syn. بَحَثَ [which Ibr D thinks may be a mistake for بَعَثَ: but see بَعْثَرَ].
3 He separated, disunited, scattered, dispersed, or dissipated, a thing. He scattered, or dispersed, his household goods, or his commodities, and turned them over, one upon another; as also بَعْثَرَ.

def.2 It curdled, or coagulated, and formed little clots of curd; syn. تَقَطَّعَ وَ تَحَبَّبَ.
