استخارهاX
[He endeavoured to make her to utter her cry; or] he uttered a cry in order that she should do the same. The sportsman, coming to a place in which he thinks the young one of a gazelle or [wild] cow to be, utters a cry like that of her young one; and the mother, hearing it, if she have a young one, thinks the cry to be that of her young one, and follows the cry.
2 Hence, استخارهُ
3 استخار الضَّبَّ, (K, TA, [in some copies of the K, erroneously, الضَّبُعَ,]) and اليَرْبُوعَ, He placed a piece of wood in the hole of the burrow of the [lizard called] ضبّ, and of the jerboa, i. e. in the قَاصِعَآء, in order that it should come forth from another place, i. e. the نَافِقَآء, so that he might catch it. Lth falsely assigns the act of الاِسْتِخَارَة to the ضبّ and the jerboa.
2 Hence, استخارهُ
[And he who is affected with youthful amorousness, wailing, will not ask the remains, or traces, of the dwellings to reply to his wailing: but for لِعَوْلَتِهِ I would rather read بِعَوْلَتِهِ; i. e., will not interrogate them with his wailing].وَلَنْ يَسْتَخِيرُ رُسُومَ الدِّيَارِ لِعَوْلَتِهِ ذُو الصِّبَى المُعوِلُ
