[اضرب عَنِ الأَمْرِ is expl. in a copy of the A as meaning عَرَّفَ عَنْهُ, and in the TA, (probably from that copy of the A, as I have reason to believe that it was used by the author of the TA,) is expl. by عرف عنه; but the right reading is indubitably عَزَفَ عَنْهُ, with the dotted ز; meaning (tropical:) He turned away from the thing, or affair; a signification given in the first paragraph: it is said in the A to be tropical.

an inf. n. used in the sense of a pass. part. n.; (TA;) i. q. ↓ مَضْرُوبٌ [Beaten, struck, &c.]: (K, TA:) in some of the copies of the K, it is made the same as ضَرْبٌ signifying “ a species ” &c.: but this is a mistake.

(TA.) -A4- See also ضَرَبٌ. ― -b2- [Reiske, as mentioned by Freytag, explains it also as meaning Sour milk: but this is app. a mistake for صَرْبٌ, with the unpointed ص.]

(S, A, Msb, K) and ↓ ضَرْبٌ, but the former is the better known, (K,) Thick honey: (A:) or white honey: (Msb, K:) or thick white honey: (S:) or, as some say, wild honey: and ↓ ضَرَبَةٌ signifies the same: or a portion thereof: (TA:) ضَرَبٌ is masc. and fem.: (S:) [for] it is said to be pl. of ↓ ضَرَبَةٌ, or a coll. gen. n., which is in most cases masc. [but is also fem.]. (Msb.)
