فَرَاهُ, (M, Ḳ,) aor. يَفْرِيهِ, (Ḳ,) inf. n. فَرْىٌ, (Ḳ,) He slit it, or cut it lengthwise, ill, or improperly; or well, or properly; as alsoفرّاهُ↓ andافراهُ↓ [both relating to both of the foregoing explanations]: (Ḳ:) or he slit it, or cut it lengthwise, and made it bad, or improper; as alsoفرّاهُ↓: or, accord. to the sound lexicologists, the former has this meaning: butافرى↓ signifies he slit, or cut lengthwise, and made good, or proper: (M:) orافراهُ↓ (M, Ḳ) signifies, (M,) or signifies also, (Ḳ,) he made it good, or proper: or he ordered [another] to make it so: (M, Ḳ:) as though he removed from it unsoundness, or imperfection: but some say that this signifies he slit it, or cut it lengthwise, and made it bad, or improper: and when you mean he measured it, and cut it, to make it good, or proper, you say فَرَاهُ, inf. n. فَرْىٌ: (M:) [thus, accord. to J,] فَرَى, aor. and inf. n. as above, signifies he cut a thing in order to make it good, or proper: (Ṣ:) or he cut a skin, or hide, in a good, or proper, manner: (Ks, Ṣ, Mṣb:) andافرى↓ he cut it in a bad, or an improper, manner: (Ks, Ṣ:) or this signifies he slit much, in a bad, or an improper, manner: and افرى الجِلْدَ, accord. to Aṣ, he rent, tore, or slit, the skin, and made holes in it, and spoiled it: and افرى signifies also he slit a thing (Ṣ, M, Mṣb) of any kind; (M; [as alsoفرّاهُ↓:]) thus you say, افرى الأَودَاجَ he slit the اوداج [or external jugular veins], (T, M, Mgh, Mṣb,) and made what was in them, of the blood, to come forth; (T, Mgh, Mṣb;) and in like manner one says of a garment, or piece of cloth, and of a جُلَّة [or receptacle for dates, made of palm-leaves woven together]; (T;) or he cut the اوداج: (Ṣ:) IAạr alone mentions فَرَى أَوْدَاجَهُ andافراها↓: (M:) [but it is also said that] فَرَى signifies he cut a نِطَع [or the like]: (Ḳ in art. خلق: [see an ex. in a verse cited in the first paragraph of that art.; also cited in the T after the first of the explanations here following, and in the M after the second thereof:]) or فَرَى, aor. and inf. n. as above, signifies he measured, and worked, or manufactured, and made good, or proper, a thing, such as a sandal, or a نِطَع [q. v.], or a water-skin, and the like: (T:) or he measured it, and cut it, to make it good, or proper: (M:) and he measured and manufactured a مَزَادَة [or leathern water-bag]: (Ṣ, Ḳ:) or he sewed, and made well, or properly, a مزادة: (T:) [it is said that] the difference betweenالإِفْرَٱءُ↓ and الفَرْىُ is this, that the former signifies the cutting so as to render bad, or improper, and the slitting like as the slaughterer and the wild beast slit [their victims]; and the latter, the cutting so as to make good, or proper, like the act of cutting of the sewer of the hide, or of leather: but فَرَى sometimes occurs in the sense of افرى: (Mgh:) one says,أَفْرَيْتُ↓ رَأْسَهُ, meaning I split, or clave, his head with a sword; like أَفْرَرْتُهُ: (Yz, T, &c. in art. فر:) and افرى الجُرْحَ he slit the wound: (T:) and افرى الذِّئْبُ بَطْنَ الشَّاةِ [the wolf slit, or rent, the belly of the sheep, or goat]: (Ṣ:) and one says, قَدْ أَفْرَيْتَ وَمَا فَرَيْتَ i. e. thou hast done ill, or improperly, and hast not done well, or properly. (A, TA.)

هُوَ يَفْرِى الفَرِىَّ↓ means † He effects what is wonderful in his deed. (Ṣ, Ḳ.) مَا يَفْرِى فَرِيَّهُ↓ أَحَدٌ, thus, with teshdeed [to the ى in فريه] as related by AʼObeyd, is said of a courageous man [as meaning No one does his deed, or the like]: but it is said [by Kh] to be correctly فَرْيَهُ, [as an inf. n.,] without teshdeed. (M. [See, however, what follows.]) They say, تَرَكْتُهُ يَفْرِى الفَرِىَّ↓, meaning [I left him] doing well, or excellently, in a deed, or in watering: [an explanation relating to what here follows:] the Prophet said, respecting ʼOmar, whom he saw in a dream drawing water at a well with a great bucket, فَلَمْ أَرَ عَبْقَرِيًّا يَفْرِى فَرِيَّهُ↓ [And I have not seen a chief of a people do his deed,, &c.]: (T:) or, as some relate it, he said فَرْيَهُ: (TA:) [but] AʼObeyd says, this is like thy saying يَعْمَلُ عَمَلَهُ and يَقُولُ قَوْلَهُ; and Fr cited to us [as an ex.]

*قَدْ كُنْتِ تَفْرِينَ بِهِ الفَرِيَّا↓ *

meaning [Verily] thou didst multiply and magnify thy words respecting it: (T: and in like manner this hemistich [which shows, by the measure, that الفَرِيَّا cannot be here a mistake for الفَرْيَا,] is expl. in the Ṣ:) it is said that فَرِىّ↓ thus used is of the measure فَعيلٌ in the sense of the measure مَفْعُولٌ, from فَرَى signifying “he cut” [or “cut lengthwise” or “slit”] a hide, or leather; (Ḥar p. 257; [where see more;]) [and this assertion is corroborated by the fact that] one says of a man strenuous, or vigorous, in an affair, and strong, تَرَكْتُهُ يَفْرِى الفَرِىَّ↓ وَيَقُدُّ [lit. I left him slitting, or cutting, the slit, or cut, thing, and shaping]. (T.)
