عيّرهُ

Root: عير

Form: 2

Full Definition

عيّرهُII , and عيّره بِهِ, though the former is the more approved, or the latter is peculiar to the vulgar, and should not be used, Verbal.Noun تَعْيِيرٌ, He upbraided him with such a thing; reproached him for it; declared it to be bad, evil, abominable, or foal, and charged him with it. [You also say عيّرهُ عَلَي فِعْلِهِ He upbraided him, or reproached him, for his deed.] And عيّر عَلَيْهِ [is an elliptical phrase, signifying the same; فِعْلَهُ or the like being understood: or He upbraided him; charged him with acting disgracefully]. (TA, voce تعريب.) [See also 1, last signification.]

def.2 عيّر الدَّنَانِيرَ, Verbal.Noun as above, He weighed the pieces of gold one after another: and he put, or threw down, the pieces of gold, one by one, and compared them, one by one. The verb is [said to be] used in relation to measuring and weighing; but, says Az, Lth makes a distinction between عَايَرْتُ and عَيَّرْتُ, making the former to relate to a measure of capacity, and the latter to an instrument for weighing: and [SM adds,] F mentions the former in art. عور, and the latter in the present art. See also 3, in five places.

def.3 And عيّر المَآءُ The water became overspread with [the green substance termed] طُحْلُب: but [SM adds,] it is more probably أَغْثَرَ, with ا and غ and ث.
