You also say, الرِّيحَ ↓ إِسْتَمْخَرْتُ (assumed tropical:) I directed my nose towards the wind. (S, A.) And it is said in a trad., إِذَا أَرَادَ أَحَدُكُمُ البَوْلَ فَلْيَتَمَخَّرِ الرِّيحَ (S, K) (assumed tropical:) When any one of you desires to make water, let him see whence the wind blows, and not face it, that it may not drive back the urine against him, (S, TA,) and cause it to sprinkle him; but let him turn his back to the wind.

(TA.) You say also تمخّرت الإِبِلُ الكَلَأَ The camels turned themselves towards the pasture. (L.)
