دَاحِرٌ
and
دَحُورٌ
Driving away; expelling, or banishing: removing; putting or placing at a distance, or away, or far away: pushing, thrusting, or repelling, [with roughness, or violence, and ignominy: see the verb.] In the Kur [xxxvii. 8-9], some read وَيُقْذَفُونَ مِنْ كُلِّ جَانِبٍ
دَحُورًا, meaning [And they shall be darted at from every side] with that which driveth away, or expelleth, &c.; as though it were said بِدَاحِرٍ, or بِمَا يَدْحَرُ: so says Fr; but he does not approve of this reading.
