هَائِرٌ

Root: هور

Full Definition

هَائِرٌ and هَارٍ, the latter formed by transposition from the former, [first into هَارِىٌ, and then into هَارٍ,] like as شَائِكُ السِّلاحِ is changed into شَاكِى السِّلاحِ, applied to a building, and to a جُرْف, [explained above, (see هَارَهُ,)] Becoming thrown down, pulled down, pulled to pieces, or demolished: or falling; falling, or tumbling, down: or cracking, without falling: or cracking in its hinder part, remaining yet in its place. See an ex. of the latter voce جَفْرٌ: and another in the Kur, ix. 110.]
