[originally an Verbal.Noun ] Much of rain; or much rain: in [some of] the copies of the K, البطر is erroneously put for المطر: [and in some, البَغِىُّ for البَغْىُ: in a MS. copy, I find البَغِىُّ الكَثِيرُ مِنَ المَطَرِ: and in the CK, البَغِىُّ الكَثِيْرُ من النَّظَرِ:] or بَغْىُ السَّمَآءِ signifies the main portion, or the vehemence, and the main portion, of the rain of the sky. Hence the saying, دَفَعْنَا بَغْىَ السَّمَآءِ خَلْفَنَا or عَنَّا [lit. We drove away the main portion, or the vehemence, and the main portion, of the rain of the sky behind us or from us; meaning it was driven away behind us or from us, or it departed; as is shown in art. دفع].
