Full Definition
فُرَارٌ
and
The young one of the ewe, and of the she-goat, and of the cow, or of the wild cow, as also, in this last sense, and in the first and second senses, فُرْفُرٌ and
فُرْفُورٌ and
and
فُرَافِرٌ : or they [app. referring to all the foregoing words] signify lambs: the female is termed فُرَارَةٌ: and فُرَارٌ is pl. also; i. e. it is applied to a pl. number as well as to one; it is said to be pl. of
فَرِيرٌ ; and is of a rare form of pl.; and it signifies the small in body of the young ones of the goat-kind; or
فَرِيرٌ , as some say, signifies thus: this last word is said by IAar to signify the young one of the wild animal, of the gazelle and of the bovine kind and the like; and in one instance he says that it signifies lambs: and, as Aboo-l-'Abbás [i. e. Th] states on the authority of IAar, فُرَارٌ and فُرَارَةٌ and
فَرِيرٌ and
فُرُرٌ and
فُرْفُورٌ and
فُرَافِرٌ signify the lamb when it is weaned, and has become what is termed
جَفْرٌ [q. v.], and obtained plenty of herbage, and has become fat: accord. to Ibn-'Abbád, the last two signify a lamb (حَمَل, O, TA, in the K جَمَل, a mistranscription, TA) when it eats, and chews the cud: (O, K: [see also فُرْفُورٌ below:]) and [it is also said that] فُرَارٌ signifies great
بَهْم [app. as meaning lambs or kids], and one thereof is termed
فُرْفُورٌ . It is said in a prov.
[The leaping of the wild calf, or with equal propriety الفرار may be here rendered the kid, excited to lightness the other wild calf, or kid]: A 'Obeyd says, on the authority of El-Mu- ärrij, [and so says Meyd, and the same is implied in the S and O,] that الفرار here means the young one of the wild cow: i. e., when the فرار attains to youthful vigour it takes to leaping, and when another sees it [do so] it leaps in like manner: the prov. is used in relation to him of whose companionship one should be cautious; meaning, if thou become his companion thou wilt do as he does: some relate it otherwise, saying نَزْوَ, meaning نَزَا نَزْوَ الفُرَارِ. [See also a similar prov. in art. سفه, conj. 5.]نَزْوُ الفُرَارِ ٱسْتَجْهَلَ الفُرَارَا
