You say, مَرَّتْ بِنَا دَارُ بَنِى فُلَانٍ (tropical:) The tribe of the sons of such a one passed by us. (A.) And in the same sense دار is used in a trad. in which it is said that there remained no دار among which (فِيهَا) a mosque had not been built. (TA.) -A2- Mtr states that it is said to signify also A year; syn. حَوْلٌ; and if this be correct, which he does no hold to be the case, it is from الدَّوَرَانُ, like as حَوْلٌ is from الحَوَلَانُ: or, as some say, i. q. دَهْرٌ [as meaning a long time, or the like]. (Har p. 350.) -A3- And الدَّارُ is the name of A certain idol. (Msb, K.) -A4- [دار and دير explained by Freytag as meaning “ Medulla liquida in ossibus ” are mistakes for رَارٌ and رَيْرٌ.]
