(Hájjee Khaleefeh.) ― -b4- And (tropical:) The hair of a woman: pl. as above [app. used in a collective sense like the French “ cheveux ”]: (K, TA:) one says AimoraA^apN Tawiylapu AlfuruwEi [meaning (tropical:) A long-haired woman ].

And (assumed tropical:) A channel in which water runs to the $iEob (K, TA) i. e. the waAdiY [here meaning the water-course in a low tract or between the two acclivities of two mountains ]: (TA:) [but] in this sense its pl. is firaAEN . (K, TA.) -A2- Also [or qawosN faroEN ] A bow that is made from the extreme portion of a branch, (As, S, O, K, TA,) from the head thereof: (As, TA:) and (K) a bow that is not [ made from a branch ] divided lengthwise (S, O, K, TA) is called qawosN faroEN ; (S, O, TA;) such as is [made from a branch] divided lengthwise being called qawosN filoqN : (S, O:) or the faroE is [ one ] of the best of bows: (AHn, K, TA:) and [this word is used as an epithet, i. e.] one says qawosN faroEN and faroEapN . (K.) -A3- Also, i. e. faroEN , Property that is beneficial, or serviceable, and made ready, or prepared: (O, K, TA:) or, accord. to the S, it is ↓ faraEN which has this signification; but this is said by Sgh [app. in the TS], and after him by the author of the K, to be a mistake; and a verse in which it occurs with the r quiescent is cited in the O and K as an ex. of it in this sense: it may be, however, that the poet has made the r quiescent of necessity [by poetic license, for the sake of the metre]; or it may here [properly] signify “ a branch, ” and be metonymically used as meaning recent property. (TA.) -A4- See also the next paragraph, latter half.

faraEN * The firstling of the camel, (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K,) or of the sheep or goat, (L, K,) which they used to sacrifice to their gods, (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K,) looking for a blessing thereby; (S, O, Msb;) and ↓ faraEapN signifies the same: (Mgh, Msb:) hence, (Mgh, O, K,) it is said in a trad., [implying the prohibition of this custom,] laA faraEa walaA EatiyrapN , (S, O, K, *) or walaA Eatiyrapa ↓ laA faraEapa : (Mgh: [see EatiyrapN :]) or when the camels amounted to the number for which their owner wished, they sacrificed [ a firstling ]: (TA:) or when one's camels amounted to a complete hundred, (K, TA,) he sacrificed a he-camel thereof every year, and gave it to the people to eat, neither he nor his family tasting it, or rather, it is said, (TA,) he sacrificed a young, or youthful, he-camel to his idol: and the Muslims used to do it in the first part of ElIslám: then it was abrogated: (K, TA:) accord. to the Bári' and the Mj, the firstling of camels and also that of sheep or goats are thus called: (Msb:) the pl.
