Full Definition
إِفْرِيزٌ
, of a wall, an arabicized word, [of unknown origin, like our word “ frieze, ” and the French “ frise, ” &c., said in the TA to be from the Pers. پَرْوَاز, mentioned above, voce فَرْوَازٌ,] A projecting appertenance or roof or covering (جَنَاحٌ) thereof; the طُنُف [q. v., app. meaning a projecting coping, or ledge, or cornice,] thereof; (O and K in the present art., and the same and S in art. طنف;) surrounding the upper part: (Kr, TA voce زَيْفٌ:) [it is also expl. as meaning] a hole, or an aperture, in a wall. (KL. [But this is app. a mistake, caused by a misunderstanding of the word طَاقٌ, which is expl. as having this meaning and also as syn. with إِفْرِيزٌ; and the author of the KL evidently doubted its correctness, for he adds, “ so we have heard. ”])
