ريّأ فِى الأَمْرِ i. q. رَوَّأَ [q. v.]. (T,* Ḳ.)

ريّأهُ, inf. n. تَرْيِئَةٌ, i. q. فَسَحَ عَنْهُ مِنْ خِنَاقِهِ [app. meaning He relaxed the compression of his throat: or he relaxed the cord by which he was being throttled]: (M:) or فَسَحَ عَنْ خُنَاقِهِ [which app. has the former meaning: or perhaps means he, or it, relieved his quinsy, so that he had room, or freedom, to breathe]. (Ḳ.)

ريّأ رَآءًا He wrote a ر. (TA.)

رايأ فُلَانًا, (M, Ḳ,*) said to be formed by transposition, [i. e. from رَآءَى,] inf. n. مُرَايَأَةٌ, (TA,) He feared, or was on his guard against, such a one. (M, Ḳ.*)

See also 3 in art. رأى.

رِىْءٌ a subst. from رَآءَ mentioned above: (M, Ḳ:) [i. e., it signifies Sight;, &c.; like رُؤْيَةٌ:] and رَآءٌ is said by MF to be like it; but this is a mistake, occasioned by his finding الرَّآء, in a verse, miswritten for الدَّآء. (TA.)

[See also رِئْى.]
