Full Definition

استرفعهُX He desired, required, demanded, or asked, that it should be raised, elevated, taken up, or removed. You say, استرفع الوَاعِظُ الأَيْدِىَ لِلدُّعَآءِ The preacher asked that the hands of the people should be raised for supplication.
2 [And hence, as though meaning استرفع نَفْسَهُ i. e. It required that itself should be re moved,] استرفع الخُوَانُ What was on the table became consumed, and it was time for it to be taken up, or removed.
