تَيْهُورٌ

Root: تهر

Full Definition

تَيْهُورٌ , said by Az to be of the measure فَيْعُولٌ, from الوَهْرُ; originally وَيْهُورٌ, like as تَيْقُورٌ is [said to be] originally وَيْقُورٌ; but the ت is held by ISd [and J and F and others] to be a radical: Low, or depressed, sand: or sand that falls apart, and does not hold together: or elevated sand: or sand having a جُرُف [or part carried and eaten away by torrents]: pl. تَيَاهِيرُ and تَيَاهِرُ.
2 Low, or depressed, land, or ground.
3 The part between the top and bottom of the side of a valley, and of a mountain: of the dial. of Nejd, and of that of Hudheyl.
4 High waves of the sea or of a great river.
5 Applied to a man, [like تَيَّارٌ, q. v.,] Vain, or having a fond opinion of himself, and proud. [For ذَاهِيًا in one copy of the S, and ذَاهِبًا in another and in the L, in the phrase إِذَا كَانَ ذَاهِيًا بِنَفْسِهِ بِهِ تِيهٌ, or ذَاهِبًا, I read زَاهِيًا.]
