def.2 غُزِّرَ He was marked with a غُرَّة [i. e. a star, or blaze, or white mark, on the forehead or face]: you say بِمَ غُرِّرَ فَرَسُكَ With what kind of غُرَّة is thy horse marked? and the owner answers, With a شاَدِخَة, or with a وَتِيرَة, &c.

def.3 غَرَّرَتْ ثَنِيَّتَا الغُلاَمٍ The central incisors of the boy showed their points for the first time: or غرّر الغُلاَمُ the first of the teeth of the boy showed its point; as though the غُرَّة, i. e. whiteness, of his teeth appeared: and غَرَّرَتْ أَسْنَانُ الصَّبِىِّ the teeth of the boy were disposed to grow, and came forth.
