Full Definition

انهرIV : see 1. in three places.

def.2 He made blood to flow: or to appear and flow: or to flow amply and copiously: or to flow with force: or he poured it forth copiously. It is said in a trad., أَنْهِرِ الدَّمَ بِمَا شِئْتَ إِلَّا مَا كَانَ مِنْ سِنِّ أَوْ ظُفُرٍ [Make thou the blood to flow, &c., with what thou pleasest, except with what is made of a tooth or a talon.] The issuing forth of the blood from the place of slaughter is likened to the flowing of water in a river.
2 He made it wide; namely, a spear-wound or the like, or a نَهْر [or channel of a river], as is implied in the K, but in other lexicons as in the S.

def.3 He was, or became, in day-time: he entered upon day-time: from النَّهَارُ.
