8 اِفْتَأَتَ عَلَىّ ذ He said of me what was false: (AZ, S, O:) or افتأت عَلَىَّ البَاطِلَ he forged against me what was false: (K:) and افتأت عَلَىَّ مَا لَمْ أَقُلْ he forged against me what I did not say. (M.) -A2- And افتأت عَلَيْنَا He was alone in his opinion against us; none sharing it with him: (ISh, T, TA:) or افتأت بِرَأْيِهِ he was alone, or singular, in his opinion: (ISk, S, O, K:) and in like manner in his affair, or case. (ISk, TA.) This verb, thus used, (not known to Az with a radical hemz in this sense except as mentioned by ISh and ISk, TA,) is mentioned with hemz by AA and AZ and ISk and others: it is therefore not from الفَوْتُ, unless it be an instance of the application of hemz to that to which it does not properly belong, as in the cases of حَلَّأْتُ السَّوِيقَ, and لَبَّأْتُ بِالحَجِّ, and رَثَأْتُ المَيِّتَ. (S, O.) [See also art. فوت.] -A3- اُفْتُئِتَ, in the pass form, He (a man, O) died suddenly: (O, K:) but this, app., [if not a mistake for اُفْتُلِتَ,] should be اُفْتِيتَ, without hemz, from مَوْتُ الفَوَاتِ. (TA.)
