Q. 1 بَحْثَرَ بحثر , [inf. n. بَحْثَرَةٌ,] He took, drew, or pulled, a thing out, or forth; and uncovered it, laid it open, or exposed it; (Abu-l-Jarráh, S, K;) as also بَعْثَرَ. (Abu-l-Jarráh, S.) It is said in the Kur [c. 9], accord. to one reading, بُعْثِرَ بُحْثِرَ مَا فِى القُبُورِ, [instead of بُعْثِرَ,] meaning [When that which is in the graves is taken forth and uncovered; i. e.,] when the dead are raised to life; syn. بُعِثَ; and it is not improbable that بَحْثَرَ may be composed of بَحَثَ and أَثَرَ [app. a mistranscription for أَثَارَ], accord. to the opinion of those who hold that quadriliteral and quinqueliteral words are composed of two. (TA.) ― -b2- He searched, or sought, for, or after, a thing in the dust or earth, or the like; syn. بَحَثَ [which Ibr D thinks may be a mistake for بَعَثَ: but see بَعْثَرَ]. (L, K, and Bd in c. 9.) ― -b3- He separated, disunited, scattered, dispersed, or dissipated, (S, K,) a thing. (S.) He scattered, or dispersed, his household goods, or his commodities, and turned them over, one upon another; as also بَعْثَرَ. (Fr, S.) -A2- It (milk) curdled, or coagulated, and formed little clots of curd; syn. تَقَطَّعَ وَ تَحَبَّبَ. (S, K.)
