ضَرَحَهُI , Present.T ـَ Verbal.Noun ضَرْحٌ, He removed it from its place; put it away or aside; pushed, or thrust, it away: he took it, and threw it away or aside: he pushed it, or thrust it, away with his foot: [and] ضَرَحَ بِالشَّىْءِ [if not a mistranscription for ضرح الشَّىْءَ] He threw [from him] the thing; and put it away or aside: and ضَرَحَ عَنْهُ الثَّوْبَ He cast off from him the garment. See also 4. [And see 8.] [Hence] ضَرَحْتُ عَنِّى شَهَادَةَ القَوْمِ I invalidated the testimony of the people or party, or annulled its claim to credibility, (جَرَحْتُهَا,) and cast it from me, or rejected it: said by one against whom false witness has been borne, and who has shown its falseness.
2 And ضَرَحَتِ الدَّابَّةُ بِرِجْلِهَا, Present.T ـَ Verbal.Noun ضَرْحٌ and ضِرَاحٌ, this latter from Sb, [but it seems to be implied in the K that the verb with ضِرَاحٌ for its Verbal.Noun has its Present.T, as well as this Verbal.Noun, like that of كَتَبَ, which I do not think to be the case,] The beast kicked with its hind leg: or الضَّرْحُ is with the fore legs; and الرَّمْحُ, with the hind legs. One says, فِيهَا ضِرَاحٌ [It has a habit of kicking with the hind leg: or, with the fore leg]; a phrase mentioned by I'Ab.
3 ضَرَحَ, or ضَرَحَ ضَرِيحًا, Present.T ـَ Verbal.Noun ضَرْحٌ, He dug a ضَرِيح [q. v.], لِلْمَيِّتِ [for the corpse].
4 ضَرَحَ, Verbal.Noun ضَرْحٌ, also signifies [He clave the ground; (see ضَرِيحٌ;) and] he split, slit, or rent asunder or open, anything; like ضَرَجَ, with ج: but the phrase ضَرَحْنَا البُرُودَ, in a verse of Dhur-r-Rummeh, as some relate it, is expl. by AA as meaning We threw off the [garments called] برود: others relate it with ج; and in this case he says that it means “ we rent asunder ” or “ open. ”

def.2 ضَرَحَ [as though quasipass. of ضَرَحَهُ] signifies also He, or it, was, or became, distant, or remote; or removed to a distance; went far away. [See also 7.]
2 And ضَرَحَتِ السُّوقُ, Verbal.Noun ضُرُوحٌ and ضَرْحٌ, The market was, or became, stagnant, or dull, with respect to traffic.
