Full Definition

اثارهُIV , and أَثَرَهُ, and هَثَرَهُ, [but in the M, I find أَثَرْتُهُ and هَثَرْتُهُ, (in the latter of which the ه is substituted for the أ of the former, as in هَرَاقَ for أَرَاقَ,) and it is evident that the author of the K erroneously supposed them to be from أَثَرَ and هَثَرَ, whereas they are from أَثَارَ and هَثَارَ, and are originally أَثْوَرُتُهُ and هَثْوَرْتُهُ, but, for أَثَرَهُ, SM appears to have read آثَرَهُ, for he says that it is formed by transposition,] Verbal.Noun إِثَارَةٌ and إِثَارٌ; and ثوّرهُ ; and ; He raised, roused, excited, stirred up, or provoked, him or it; [as, for instance,] an object of the chase or the like, a beast of prey, a lion, dust, smoke, and any other thing: or he drew it forth: is [often used in this last sense, or as meaning he disinterred it, exhumed it, or dug it up or out,] said of a thing buried. (K in art. سوع.) You say, اثار فُلَانًا He roused such a one for an affair. And اثار البَعِيرَ He roused the camel lying upon his breast, or put him in motion or action. And ثوّر البَرْكَ, and , He roused the camels lying upon their breasts, and made them to rise.
2 اثار التُّرَابَ بِقَوَائِمِهِ He [a beast] scraped up the earth, or dust, with his legs.
3 اثار الأَرْضَ, and أَثْوَرَهَا, He tilled the ground, or land; cultivated it by ploughing and sowing: he turned the ground over upon the grain after it had been once opened: he ploughed and sowed the land, and educed its increase, and the increase of its seed. And أَثَارَتِ الأَرْضَ [She tilled the ground].
4 اثار الفِتْنَةَ He excited discord, or dissension, or the like. And ثوّر عَلَيْهِمُ الشَّرَّ (Verbal.Noun تَثْوِيرٌ, Msb) He excited evil, or mischief, against them, and manifested it.
