(Ṣ, Ḳ.) El-ʼAjjáj uses the former verb in relation to the kind of flies called نُعَر, saying,

* ضَرْبًا إِذَا صَابَ اليَآفِيخَ ٱحْتَفَرْ *
* فِى الهَامِ دُحْلَانًا يُفَرِّسْنَ النُّعَرْ *

[A beating which, when it falls upon the tops of heads, digs, in the pates, hollows that afford prey to the blue stinging flies]; meaning, that these wounds are wide, and enable the نعر to obtain thence what they desire. (M.) And one of the poets uses it in relation to human beings, in the following verses, [which exhibit an instance of the license termed إِقْوَآء,] cited by IAạr:

* قَدْ أَرْسَلُونِى قِى الكَوَاعِبِ رَاعِيًا *
*فَقَدْ وَأَبِى رَاعِى الكَوَاعِبِ أُفْرَسُ↓ *
* أَتَتْهُ ذِئَابٌ لَا يُبَالِينَ رَاعِيًا *
* وَكُنُّ سَوَامًا تَشْتَهِى أَنْ تُفَرَّسَا *

[They had sent me among the girls with swelling breasts, as a guardian; and, by my father, while guardian of the girls with swelling breasts, or by the father of the guardian of the girls with swelling breasts, I was (lit. I am) made a prey: there came thither wolves not caring for a guardian, and those females were (as) pasturing camels eagerly desiring to be given as prey]: he likens these women to pasturing camels, although differing from them inasmuch as the latter do not eagerly desire to be given as prey, since this would be a cause of their death, whereas women do eagerly desire it, since فَرْسُ الرِّجَالِ لِلنِّسَآءِ [lit. men's making women their prey] is in this case † men's holding commerce of love with women: أُفْرَسُ is for فُرِسْتُ; for, as Sb says, they sometimes put أَفْعَلُ in the place of فَعَلْتُ: أَبِى is in the gen. case as governed by وَ denoting swearing; and راعى الكواعب may be a denotative of state relating to the ت [the pronoun of the first person] understood [in أُفْرَسُ for فُرِسْتُ]; or وأبى may be prefixed to راعى الكواعب, governing it in the gen. case, and by the latter expression he may mean himself: by wolves not caring for a guardian, he means wicked men not caring for him who guarded these women: and he uses the word تشتهى to denote intense desire; for if he did not mean intenseness, he would have said تُرِيدُ. (M.)


3. ⇒ فارس

فارسهُ, inf. n. مُفَارَسَةٌ and فِرَاسٌ, (M, TA,) [app., He vied, or contended, with him in horsemanship: this signification seems to be indicated by what immediately precedes in the M, which is, فَرَسَ and فَرُسَ “he became a horseman:” but perhaps it may signify he vied, or contended, with him in فِرَاسَة, meaning insight,, &c.: or it may have both these significations.]

هُمَا كَفَرَسَىْ رِهَانٍ [They two are like two horses running for a wager] is a saying applied to two persons running a race to a goal, and being equal: (A, O, Ḳ:) the comparison relating to the beginning [of a contest], for the termination necessarily shows which outstrips; (O, Ḳ:) and to two who are equal, and two who are nearly equal, in excellence, &c. (Ḥar p. 640.) It was said by a man who swore that he would abstain from his wife for four months, and then divorced her: for the period during which a woman may be taken back after a [first or second] divorce is that of three menstruations or three periods of purity from menstruation; and if it ended in this case before the end of the four months during which he swore to abstain from her, she became separated from him by that divorcement: so he likened the two periods to two horses running for a wager. (O,* TA.)

الفَرْسَةُ

الفَرْسَةُ, (IAạr, Ṣ, M, O, Ḳ, TA,) orالفِرْسَةُ↓, (M, TA,) the former accord. to AʼObeyd, (M, TA,) or, accord. to AʼObeyd, it is with ص, and the vulgar, he says, pronounce it with س, (O,) Gibbosity [of the back]; syn. الحَدَبُ: (IAạr, O, TA:) or, (M, O, Ḳ, TA,) as also الفَرْصَةُ, (M, O,) which latter is the more approved in this sense, (M,) the رِيح [or flatus] of gibbosity; (M, O, Ḳ, TA;) [i. e.] the ريح that renders gibbous; (M;) as though it were breaking, or crushing so as to break, the back (كَأَنَّهَا تَفْرِسُ الظَّهْرَ أَىْ تَدُقُّهُ), and cleaving it (تَفْرِصُهُ أَىْ تَشُقُّهُ): (O:) [or الفَرْسَةُ signifies the displacement of one of the vertebræ; for,] accord. to Aṣ, one says أَصَابَتْهُ فَرْسَةٌ when one of the vertebræ of one's back has become displaced; but the flatus (الرِّيحُ) from which gibbosity results is termed الفَرْصَةُ, with ص: (TA:) or الفَرْسَةُ signifies a flatus that attacks in the neck, and breaks it: (Ṣ:) or, as some say, an imposthume, or ulcer, (قَرْحَة,) that is in the neck, breaking it: (M:) or a breach (فُرْجَة) in the neck; thus says AZ: or a breach (فرجة) that is in [the case of] gibbosity: the pl. is فَرَسَاتٌ, not أَفْرِسَةٌ, which latter is said to be a pl. of فَرْسَةٌ, but is anomalous.
