desert, Saharan

, aor. , (S, K,) inf. n. صَحْرٌ, (S, TA,) namely, milk, He made it to become what is termed صَحِيرَة: (S, TA:) or he cooked it, (K, TA,) and then gave it to a sick person to drink. (TA.) ― -b2- صَحَرَتْهُ الشَّمْسُ The sun pained his brain: (K:) it is like صَهَرَتْهُ; (A;) or, as some say, melted him. (TA.) -A2- صَحَرَ, aor. , inf. n. صَحِيرٌ and صُحَارٌ, He (an ass) uttered a sound [or braying] more vehement than the neighing of horses. (TA.) -A3- [Golius explains صَحَرَ as meaning It spread out wide, said of a place, on the authority of J: but the verb is اصحر, q. v.; and the authority is not J.]

[صِحَارٌ is an inf. n. of صَاحَرَ, a verb not mentioned: hence,] أَبْرَزَ لَهُ مَا فِى نَفْسِهِ مِنَ الأَمْرِ صِحَارَا (assumed tropical:) [He showed to him what was in his mind, of the thing, or affair, openly]: a saying like جَاهَرَهُ بِهِ جِهَارًا. (K, * TA. [See also 4.])

, (S, A, Mgh, K,) or اصحر الصَّحْرَآءَ, (Msb, [but I think that this is a mistake for اصحر إِلَى الصَّحْرَآءِ,]) inf. n. إِصْحَارٌ, (Msb,) He went forth to the صحرآء [or desert, &c.], (S, A, Mgh,) or into the صحرآء: (Msb, K:) تصحّر [in this sense] has not been heard. (Mgh.) ― -b2- Hence, in a trad., the saying of Umm-Selemeh to 'Áïsheh, سَكَّنَ ٱللّٰهُ عُقَيْرَاكِ فَلَا تُصْحِرِيهَا [app. meaning, accord. to explanations of it in the TA in art. عقر, God hath made thy dwelling and estate, or, as Z explains it, thy person (نَفْسَكِ), to be quietly settled, therefore do not thou remove it forth to the desert]; i. e. لَا تُبْرِزِيهَا إِلَى الصَّحْرَآءِ; the verb, accord. to IAth, being made trans. by the suppression of the prep.; [i. e. تُصْحِرِيهَا being for تُصْحِرِى بِهَا;] for it is [properly] intrans. (TA. [See also the next sentence but one, in which the verb is tropically made trans.]) ― -b3- أَصْحِرْ لِعَدُوِّكَ means (assumed tropical:) Be thou in a state of clearness [or certainty] with respect to the case of thy enemy: (JM, TA:) occurring in a trad. of 'Alee. (TA.) ― -b4- One says also, أَصْحَرَ بِالأَمْرِ and أَصْحَرَهُ (tropical:) He revealed, or made manifest, the affair, or case: and لَا تُصْحِرْ أَمْرَكَ (tropical:) [Reveal not thy affair, or case]: and أَصْحِرْهُ بِمَا فِى قَلْبِكَ (tropical:) [Reveal to him what is in thy mind]. (A, TA.) ― -b5- اصحر said of a place, It was, or became, wide, or spacious; (O, K, TA;) i. e. it became like the صَحْرَآء. (TA.) -A2- Said of a man, He was, or became, blind of one eye. (K.)

It (a plant) dried up; or became yellow; or dried up and became yellow: (S:) or became of a dingy red colour, and then dried up and became yellow: (TA:) and (TA) it (a plant, K, or an ear of corn, TA) became red: or its first parts became white. (K, TA.)

, in which the two nouns are imperfectly decl., (S, L,) being regarded as one, (L,) and صَحْرَةً بَحْرَةً, (K in art. بحر,) and بُحْرَةَ ↓ صُحْرَةَ, with damm, (O,) and صُحْرَةً بُحْرَةً, (MF in art. بحر,) and صَحْرَةً بَحْرَةً نَحْرَةً, (O, K,) and صَحْرَةَ بَحْرَةَ نَحْرَةَ, (K, [but this last is implicitly disallowed in the O, and expressly by MF in art. بحر,]) and with damm also in all these words, [i. e. صُحْرَة &c.,] (K,) I met him openly, or in open view, nothing intervening to conceal him. (S, L, K. [See also بَحْرَةٌ; and see صَرْحَةٌ.]) And one says likewise, أَخْبَرَهُ بِالأَمْرِ صحرة بحرة [He acquainted him with the affair, or case, openly]. (TA.)

(S, K, in the CK, صُحَرَةٌ [which is a mistake,]) and ↓ صَحَرٌ (K [in some copies of the K صَحْرٌ, which, as observed in the TA, is wrong,]) A colour in which is [the kind of red termed] شُقْرَةٌ: (S:) or a colour nearly the same as [the kind of red termed] صُبْهَةٌ: (K:) or the latter, (TA, [and app. the former also,]) a dust-colour with a slight redness, (in the K, in حُمْرَة خَفِيَّة, the latter of these two words is a mistake for خَفِيفَة, TA,) inclining to a little whiteness: (K, TA:) or the former, redness inclining to dustcolour: (TA:) or dust-colour with redness: (A:) and [redness of the kind termed] شُقْرَة in the head: (As, TA:) and both words, a colour in which is whiteness and redness: (TA:) and whiteness overspreading blackness; like سُحْرَةٌ and سَحَرٌ: (TA in art. سحر:) and the latter, accord. to Sgh, whiteness. (TA.) -A2- Also, both words, The quality of a صَحْرَآء [q. v.]. (ISh.) ― -b2- And the former, A clear space in a [stony tract such as is called] حَرَّة, (S, K,) consisting of soft and clean soil with stones in it: (TA:) pl. صُحَرٌ; (S, K;) the only pl. (TA.) ― -b3- See also صَحْرَة.

, imperfectly decl., (S, K,) though not an epithet; (S;) or it is an epithet in which the quality of a subst. predominates; (TA;) and is imperfectly decl. because it is of the fem. gender, (S,) and because the letter characteristic of the fem. gender [namely the long ا] is inseparable from it, (S, K,) A desert; a waste; syn. بَرِّيَّةٌ: (S, Msb:) or a tract of land like the back of a beast, bare, or destitute of herbage, without trees and without hills and without mountains; smooth [throughout]: (ISh:) or a plain, or level tract of land, with smoothness and ruggedness, (A, K,) less [rugged] than what is termed قُفّ: (K:) or a spacious tract of ground in which is no herbage: (M, A, K:) or the most plain and even of land, whether it have produced herbage or not, not having any mountain or hill near it; as also جَهَادٌ: (ISh, TA in art. جهد:) you say صَحْرَآءُ وَاسِعَةٌ [a wide desert &c.]; (S;) but you do not say صَحْرَآءَةٌ, adding one fem. sign after another: (S, Msb:) the pls. are صَحَارِىُّ (S, Msb, K) and صَحَارٍ (S, M, Msb) [in the K, صَحَارِى, which, without the art. ال, and except when it is prefixed to another noun, and in a case of pausing, is a manifest mistake, as is shown in every complete treatise on inflection,] and صَحَارَى (S, Msb, K) and صَحْرَاوَاتٌ: (S, K:) the first of which four pls. occurs in poetry, and is the original form of the second: for when you form the pl. of صَحْرَآءُ, [which is originally صَحْرَاا,] you introduce an ا between the ح and the ر, and give kesr to the ر as in all similar cases: then the first ا which is after the ر [in صحراا] is changed into ى, because of the kesreh preceding it; and the second ا, which is the characteristic of the fem. gender, is also changed into ى, and incorporated into the former: then they reject the first ى, and change the second into ا, [though still writing it ى,] and say صَحَارَى, with fet-h to the ر, that the ا may not be elided in the case of tenween, [which the word would have if the ر were with kesr]; and this they do to distinguish between the ى that is changed from the ا which is a characteristic of the fem. gender and the ى that is changed from the ا which is not a characteristic of the fem. gender as the ا of مَرْمًى when they say مَرَامٍ: some of the Arabs, however, do not reject the first ى [in صَحَارِىُّ], but reject the second ى, and say الصَّحَارِى, with kesr to the ر, and هٰذِهِ صَحَارٍ, like as you say جَوَارٍ (S. [In the Ham, p. 54, صُحَرٌ is mentioned as a pl. of صَحْرَآءُ; but I think it doubtful.])

The sweat of horses: (O, K:) or the fever of horses. (K.) [― -b2- See also 1.]

: see أَصْحَرُ.

A certain uttering of the voice of the ass, (A, K,) of a vehement kind, (A,) more vehement than the neighing of horses: an inf. n. (TA. [See 1.])
