You say, أَفْلَتَ فُلَانٌ جَرِيضًا, or أُفْلِتَ, Such a one escaped, or was made to escape, being near to death; or being at the point of death, his soul having reached his fauces, so that he was choked by it. And مَاتَ فُلَانٌ جَرِيضًا Such a one died oppressed by grief or sorrow.
def.2 In the following prov., حَالَ الجَرِيضُ دُونَ القَرِيضِ [The جريض interposed as an obstacle in the way of the قريض], الجريض signifies the thing choking the throat or fauces; and القريض signifies the cud: the meaning being, the thing choking the throat or fauces hindered from chewing the cud: or the former signifies the choking, or having the throat, or fauces, obstructed; and the latter, the poetry: or the former, the swallowing of spittle in dying; and the latter, the sound, or voice, of a man in dying: or the former, spittle swallowed: and also, the chokings (غُصَص) of death: [see also جَرَضٌ:] and the moving to and fro of the two jaws at death: the prov. relates to an affair which is hindered by some obstacle: or it is said on the occasion of any affair which was possible and which has been hindered by the intervention of some obstacle: and the first who said it was 'Obeyd Ibn-El-Abras, when El-Mundhir [on one of the days when it was his custom to slay whomsoever he met] desired him to recite some of his verses: or the first who said it was Jowshan [in some copies of the K, Showshan, which, as is said in the TA, is a mistake,] El-Kilábee, when his father, having forbidden him to poetize, and seeing him sick of grief thereat, and at the point of death, gave him permission to do so: whereupon, after saying these words, he recited some verses, and died.
