(TA.) ― -b2- Hence the usage of the verb in the saying of Taäbbata-Sharrà “ يَظَلُّ بِمَوْمَاةٍ وَيُمْسِى بِغَيْرِهَا
جَحِيشًا وَيَعْرَوْرِى ظُهُورَ المَهَالِكِ
” (assumed tropical:) He passes the day in a waterless desert, and enters upon the evening in another than it, alone, and he ventures upon [the surfaces of] the places of perdition without anything to protect him from them. (Ham ubi suprà.) [See also an ex. of the act. part. n. in a verse cited in the second paragraph of art. دوم.] ― -b3- And اعرورى السَّرَابُ الآكَامَ means رَكِبَهَا [i. e. (assumed tropical:) The mirage surmounted the hills, or mounds]. (TA.) ― -b4- And اعرورى أَمْرًا قَبِيحًا (assumed tropical:) He ventured upon, or did, an evil, or a foul, thing; (S, K; *) syn. رَكِبَهُ, (S,) or أَتَاهُ, (K,) or both. (TA.) ― -b5- اعرورى signifies also (assumed tropical:) He journeyed by himself, alone, in the earth, or land. (K.)
