ح • ر • ح

, aor. حَرَحَ , He hit, or hurt, her (a woman's) حِرْح or حِر [i. e. vulva, or pudendum]. (K.)

A man loving, (L, TA,) or fond of, (K,) the أَحْرَاح [or pudenda] of women: (L, K:) an epithet after the manner of a rel. n. (Sb, TA.) See also حِرِىٌّ.

, (S, Mgh, Msb, K,) similar in form to يَدٌ and دَمٌ, (Msb,) and حِرٌّ (AHeyth, Az, Msb) and حِرَةٌ; (K;) the first of which is the most common; and the last, strange; (TA;) or the first is sometimes used instead of the second; (Msb;) The vulva, or pudendum, of a woman: originally ↓ حِرْحٌ, (S, Mgh, Msb, K,) as is shown by the form of its broken pl., (S, Mgh, Msb,) and by that of its dim.; for in the formation of the broken pl. and of the dim., a word is restored to its original state: the final ح in the original is elided, and ر is put in its stead, and incorporated into the medial radical letter; and sometimes the word is used without any letter of compensation: thus are formed حِرٌّ and حِرٌ: (Msb:) the pl. is أَحْرَاحٌ, (S, Mgh, Msb, K,) its only broken pl., (TA,) and حِرُونَ, (S, K,) which latter is like لِدُونَ and مِيءُونَ, pls. of defective nouns [لِدَةٌ and مِيءَةٌ]: (S:) dim. ↓ حُرَيْحٌ. (Msb.)

, and (if you will, S) ↓ حِرَحِىٌّ, (S, K,) in which latter the medial radical letter is with fet-h, as in the rel. ns. formed from يَدُ and غَدٌ, namely, يَدَوِىٌّ and غَدَوِىٌّ; (S;) [Of, or belonging to, or relating to, the vulva, or pudendum, of a woman;] rel. ns. of حِرٌ [and حِرْحٌ]: and (if you will, S) you may say ↓ حَرِحٌ, like سَتِةٌ. (S, K.)

A woman hit, or hurt, in her حِرْح or حِر [i. e. vulva, or pudendum]. (K.)
