سَرَجَ, (O, Ḳ,) aor. ـُ {يَسْرُجُ}, (Ḳ,) inf. n. سَرْجٌ, (TḲ,) † He lied; as also سَرِجَ, (O, Ḳ,) aor. ـَ {يَسْرَجُ}; (Ḳ;) but the latter is outweighed [in authority]; (TA;) like سَدَجَ: (O:) and soسرّج↓: (TA:) and شَرَجَ. (O and Ḳ * in art. شرج.) You say,تَكَلَّمَ فُلَانٌ بِكَلِمَةٍ فَسَرَجَ عَلَيْهَا بِأُسْرُوجَةٍ↓ † [Such a one spoke a word, or sentence, and followed it with a lie]. (O.)

And سَرَجَ الكَذِبَ, aor. ـُ {يَسْرُجُ}, inf. n. سَرْجٌ, † He forged the lie. (TA.) [See also 2.]

سَرَجٌ, as an inf. n., signifies The being bright, or shining. (KL.)

[And hence,] سَرِجَ, (O, Ḳ,) aor. ـَ {يَسْرَجُ}, (Ḳ,) inf. n. سَرَجٌ, (TḲ,) said of one's face, † It was, or became, beautiful: (O:) or, said of a man, (TA,) ‡ he was or became, beautiful in his face: (Ḳ, TA:) but said by some, to be post-classical; and by some, to be strange. (TA.)

سَرَجَتْ شَعْرَهَا, (O, Ḳ, TA, but not in the CK,) andسرّجت↓, (Ḳ, TA, but not in the O,) [thought by SM to be a mistranscription for سرّحت, with the unpointed ح,] She (a woman, O) plaited her hair; (O, Ḳ;) like سَجَرَتْهُ. (O.)

[سَرَجَ, aor. ـُ {يَسْرُجُ}, expl. as signifying “Ephippio instruxit instravitve equum” by Golius and Freytag, by the latter as on the authority of the Ṣ and Ḳ, I do not find in either of those lexicons, nor in any other. The verb having this meaning is اسرج only.]

سرّجهُ, (A, Ḳ,) inf. n. تَسْرِيجٌ, (Ḳ,) ‡ He rendered it beautiful; (A, Ḳ;) namely, a person's face; said of God: (A:) † he adorned, ornamented, decorated, or embellished, it; namely, a thing. (L.) The meaning given in the Ḳ [and A] has the authority of El-Beyhakee and IḲṭṭ and Es-Sarakustee and IḲooṭ; but Aboo-ʼAbdAllah Moḥammad Ibn-Esh-Shádhilee thought it to be not of established authority as belonging to the ancient language. (TA.) [Hence,] one says, سَرِّجْ إِلَيْهِ أَمْرَكَ † Embellish and elucidate thou to him thy affair, or case. (Ḥam p. 326.)

And i. q. وَفَّقَهُ † [He accommodated, adapted, or disposed, him, or it, to a right course, or issue]. (TA.)
