2 غَرَّزَ see 1, in four places. -A2- غرّز النَّاقَةَ He abstained from milking the she-camel: (A:) and غرّز الغَنَمَ he ceased to milk the ewes or she-goats, desiring that they should become fat: (TA:) and غُرِّزَتِ النَّاقَةُ, inf. n. تَغْرِيزٌ, the she-camel was left unmilked: or her udder was dashed with cold water in order that her milk might cease: or she was left unmilked once between two milkings: (K:) this is when her milk has withdrawn: (TA: [see also 2 in art. غزر:]) or تَغْرِيزٌ signifies the sprinkling a she-camel's udder with water, then daubing the hand with earth or dust and slapping the udder, so that the milk is driven upwards, then taking her tail and pulling it vehemently, and slapping her with it, and leaving her; whereupon she goes away for a while at random. (AHn, TA.) It is said in a trad. of 'Atà, that he was asked respecting the تغريز of camels; and answered, “ If it be for emulation, [to make them more fat than those of other men,] no; but if from a desire of putting them in a good state for sale, yes: ” and IAth says that the تغريز thereof may mean them increase, or offspring, (نِتَاج,) and fatness; from غَرْزُ الشَّجَرِ [the planting of trees]; but that the more proper explanation is that before given [which appears to be one of the explanations here preceding].
