حَرَحَهَا, aor. ـَ {يَحْرَحُ}, He hit, or hurt, her (a woman's) حِرْح or حِر [i. e. vulva, or pudendum]. (Ḳ.)

حِرٌ, (Ṣ, Mgh, Mṣb, Ḳ,) similar in form to يَدٌ and دَمٌ, (Mṣb,) and حِرٌّ (AHeyth, Az, Mṣb) and حِرَةٌ; (Ḳ;) the first of which is the most common; and the last, strange; (TA;) or the first is sometimes used instead of the second; (Mṣb;) The vulva, or pudendum, of a woman: originallyحِرْحٌ↓, (Ṣ, Mgh, Mṣb, Ḳ,) as is shown by the form of its broken pl., (Ṣ, Mgh, Mṣb,) 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: (Mṣb:) the pl. is أَحْرَاحٌ, (Ṣ, Mgh, Mṣb, Ḳ,) its only broken pl., (TA,) and حِرُونَ, (Ṣ, Ḳ,) which latter is like لِدُونَ and مِئُونَ, pls. of defective nouns [لِدَةٌ and مِئَةٌ]: (Ṣ:) dim. حُرَيْحٌ↓. (Mṣb.)

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