[They (referring to women) poured desirous love into the heart; then they gave him to drink the remains of the water of grief, by looking with the wide eyes: but perhaps فَرَغْنَ is here used for فَرَّغْنَ, by poetic license, for the sake of the metre]: (TA:) إِفْرَاغَةٌ signifies A single act of إِفْرَاغ; and hence the trad. كَانَ يُفْرِغُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ ثَلَاثَ إِفْرَاغَاتٍ [He used to pour upon his head three pourings]. (TA.)

And تفرّغ بِهِ signifies تَخَلَّى بِهِ [meaning He confined himself exclusively to it; or contented himself with it exclusively of other things]. (Ḳ and TA in art. خلو.)

اِفْتَرَغْتُ I poured forth upon myself (Ṣ, O) water: (Ṣ:) [and so افترغت عَلَى نَفْسِى; for one says,] رَأَيْتُهُ يَغْتَرِفُ المَآءَ ثُمَّ يَفْتَرِغُهُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ [I saw him taking, or lading out, the water; then pouring it forth upon himself]. (A, TA.) And اِفْتَرَغْتُ لِنَفْسِى مَآءً I poured out for myself water. (O, Ḳ.)

And The place whence the water pours forth, between the cross-pieces of wood (العَرَاقِى), of the leathern-bucket; (Ṣ, O, Ḳ;) as alsoفِرَاغٌ↓: (Ḳ: [expl. in the O as signifying the side of the leathern bucket from which the water pours forth:]) pl. of the former فُرُوغٌ (TA) and مَفَارِغُ, [which is anomalous, like مَشَابِهُ and مَحَاسِنُ, &c.,] (A, TA,) or this is pl. ofمَفْرَغٌ↓. (TA.)

Hence الفَرْغَانِ, (Ṣ, O,) فَرْغُ الدَّلْوِ المُقَدَّمُ and فَرْغُ الدَّلْوِ المُؤَخَّرُ, (Ṣ, O, Ḳ,) or الفَرْغُ الأَوَّلُ and الفَرْغُ الثَّانِى, (Ḳzw,) Two of the Mansions of the Moon, (Ṣ, O, Ḳ,) the Twenty-sixth Mansion and the Twentyseventh; four stars, wide apart, forming the corners of a square, or four-sided figure; (Ḳzw;) each consisting of two stars, (Ṣ, O, Ḳ, and Ḳzw,) of two bright stars, (Ṣ,) the apparent distance between each two stars being the measure of five cubits, (Ṣ, O, L,) or the measure of a spear; (Ḳ;) [see ذِرَاعٌ and رُمْحٌ; the former pair consists of the stars a and b of Pegasus; and the latter, of g in Pegasus together with the bright star in the head of Andromeda; as is shown by what here follows:] the Arabs name الدَّلْوُ the four bright stars in Pegasus which form a square, or four-sided figure; i. e., that at the extremity of the neck, which is called مَتْنُ الفَرَسِ, and that which is called مَنْكِبُ الفَرَسِ, and that which is called جَنَاحُ الفَرَسِ, and the star that belongs to both Pegasus and Andromeda: (Ḳzw, descr. of Pegasus:) [these two pairs of stars are what are commonly known as the فَرْغَانِ; and are plainly indicated by the periods assigned to the auroral settings thereof: but the periods assigned to their auroral risings would lead us to apply the appel-lation of the فرغان to some other stars, not easily determinable, in Aquarius: see نَوْءٌ: and see also مَنَازِلُ القَمَرِ, in art. نزل.] The pl. الفُرُوغُ is said to be applied to The فَرْغَانِ with the stars around them: (O, TA:) and (accord. to El-Jumahee, O, TA) الفُرُوغُ [in the CK erroneously written الفَرُوغُ] signifies [The constellation called] الجَوْزَآءُ.
