مَرَّ, (Ṣ, M, A, Mgh, Mṣb, Ḳ,) aor. ـُ {يَمْرُرُ}, (Ṣ, M,) inf. n. مَرٌّ [and مَمَرٌّ] and مُرُورٌ, (Ṣ, M, Mṣb, Ḳ,) He, or it, passed; passed by, or beyond; went; went on; proceeded; passed, or went, along, or through, or over; went away; passed away; syn. جَازَ; (M, Ḳ;) and ذَهَبَ; (Ṣ, M, Mṣb, Ḳ;) and مَضَى; (A, Mgh;) as alsoاستمرّ↓. (Ṣ, A, Mgh, Ḳ.) You say, مَرَّ الرَّجُلُ, (TḲ,) and الدَّهْرُ, (Mṣb,) and الأَمْرُ; andاستمرّ↓; (A, Mgh;) The man, (TḲ,) and time, (Mṣb,) and the affair, (A, Mgh,) passed;, &c. (A, Mgh, Mṣb, TḲ.) The saying in the Ḳur, [vii. 189,] حَمَلَتْ حَمْلًا خَفِيفًا فَمَرَّتْ بِهِ signifies i. q.استمرّت↓ به, (A, Ḳ,) which is another reading, (Bḍ,) i. e., [She bore a light burden in her womb, and] went with it, and moved from place to place, and rose and sat, not being oppressed by its weight: (A:) [or went on with it in the same course or manner:] or went and came with it, by reason of its lightness: (Jel:) or rose and sat with it, (Zj, Bḍ,) not being oppressed by its weight: (Zj:) so accord. to both the readings mentioned above: (Bḍ:) by the burden being meant the impregnating fluid. (Bḍ, Jel, TA.)

[It is also said of water, meaning It ran, or flowed. And one says, مَرَّتِ الرِّيحُ The wind passed along, or blew.]

مَرَّ بِهِ, (Ṣ, M, A, Mṣb, Ḳ,) and مَرَّ عَلَيْهِ, (Ṣ, A, Mṣb,) but the former is more common than the latter, (Mughnee, voce بِ,) for which the BenooYarbooa say, مِرَّ عليه, with kesr, (TA,) and مَرَّهُ, [respecting which see what follows the explanation,] (M, Ḳ,)) aor. ـُ {يَمْرُرُ}, (Ṣ,) inf. n. مَرٌّ and مَمَرٌّ (Ṣ, A, Mṣb) and مُرُورٌ; (A, Mṣb;) andاِمْتَرَّ↓ بِهِ, and اِمْتَرَّ عَلَيْهِ; (M, Ḳ;) He passed, or went, by him, or it; syn. اِجْتَازَ, (Ṣ, Mṣb,) or جَازَ عَلَيْهِ, (M, Ḳ,) or جَاوَزَهُ وَذَهَبَ. (A.) مَرَّ may be a verb trans. by means of a particle and without a particle: or in مَرَّهُ the particle may be suppressed: Jereer says,

* تَمُرُّونَ الدِّيَارَ وَلَمْ تَعُوجُوا *

* كَلَامُكُمُ عَلَىَّ إِذًا حَرَامُ *

[Ye pass by the dwellings without turning aside and alighting: the speaking to you is therefore forbidden to me]: but it is said that the true reading is مَرَرْتُمْ بِالدِّيَارِ [Ye have passed by the dwellings]: which shows that he feared to make the verb trans. without a particle: IAạr says, that مَرَّ زَيْدًا signifies the same as مَرَّ بِهِ [He passed by Zeyd], without being elliptical, but as being properly trans.; but IJ, allowing this, says that it is not a phrase commonly obtaining. (M, TA.)

[مَرَّ عَلَيْهِ also signifies He, or it, passed, or went, along, or over, or across, it. You say, مَرَّ عَلَى الجِسْرِ He passed, or went, along, or over the bridge, or dyke.] And مَرَّ السِّكِّينُ عَلَى حَلْقِ الشَّاةِ The knife passed across the throat of the sheep, or goat. (Mṣb.)

(Ḳ.)

مرّرهُ, (inf. n. تَمْرِيرٌ, TA,) He, or it, made it bitter; (Ṣ, Ḳ;) as alsoامرّهُ↓: (IAạr, Ṣ:) orمَرَّهُ↓, aor. ـُ {يَمْرُرُ}, has this signification, and the first verb has an intensive signification [he, or it, made it very bitter]. (Mṣb.)

امرّهُ بِهِ (in some copies of the Ḳ, امترّ به, but the former is the right reading, TA) [and عَلَيْهِ] He made him, or it, to pass, or go, by him, or it, (Ḳ.)

امرّهُ عَلَى الجِسْرِ He made him to pass, or go, along, or over, the bridge, or dyke. (Lḥ, Ḳ.) امرّ عَلَيْهِ يَدَهُ [He passed his hand over him, or it]. And امرّ عليه القَلَمَ [He passed the pen over it, or across it]. (A.) أَمْرَرْتُ السِّكِّينَ عَلَى حَلْقِ الشَّاةِ I passed the knife across the throat of the sheep, or goat. (Mṣb.) It is said in a trad., respecting the sound that is heard by the angels when a revelation is sent down, كَإِمْرَارِ الحَدِيدِ عَلَى الطَّشْتِ, meaning, Like the dragging, or drawing, (in a trans. sense,) of the iron over the copper basin: and in another trad., صَوْتَ إِمْرَارِ السِّلْسِلَةِ [the sound of the dragging, or drawing, of the chain]: or, accord. to the more common relation, صَوْتَ مِرَارِ السِّلْسِلَةِ عَلَى الصَّفَا, meaning, the sound of the dragging, (in an intrans. sense) and continuous running, of the chain upon the [smooth] rocks: (IAth, TA:) forمَارَّ↓, inf. n. مِرَارٌ, signifies it (a thing) dragged, or became drawn along. (Ḳ, TA.)

[Hence,] الدَّهْرُ ذُو نَقْضٍ وَإِمْرَارٍ ‡ [Time, or fortune, as it were, untwists and twists tightly]. (A. TA.) [See art. نقض.]

Hence also, امرّهُ ‡ He struggled, or strove, with him, (Ṣ, A,) and twisted about him, (Ṣ,) or twisted his neck, (A,) to throw him down; (Ṣ, A;) as alsoمارّهُ↓: (Ṣ:) or this latter signifies he twisted himself about him, and turned him round, to throw him down; (Ḳ,) [for يُدِيرُهُ, in the Ḳ, we find in the L يُرِيدُهُ, which latter is preferred by SM; but I prefer the former; for it also signifies] he turned him round, (namely, a camel,) in order to throw him down: (M:) orمارّهٌ↓ signifies he struggled, or strove, with him, and twisted his neck, (A,) to throw him down, (AHeyth, T, A,) (AHeyth, T, A,) the latter desiring to do the same; and the inf. n. is مُمَارَّةٌ and مِرَارٌ: (AHeyth, T:) andإِمْرَأَتُهُ تُمَارُّهُ↓ his wife opposes him, and twists herself about him: (A, TA:) andمِرَارُ↓ الحرْبِ is explained by Aṣ as signifying the striving to obtain the victory in war.

You say, قَدْ أَمَرَّ هَذَا الطَّعَامُ فِى فَمِى This food has become bitter in my mouth: and in like manner you say of anything that becomes bitter. (TA.) You say also, أَمَرَّ عَلَيْهِ العَيْشُ, andمَرَّ↓ عَلَيْهِ, ‡ [Life became bitter to him]. (A.) And Th cites,

* تُمِرُّ عَلَيْنَا الأَرْضُ مِنْ أَنْ نَرَى بِهَا *

* أَنِيسًا وَيَحْلَوْلِى لَنَا البَلَدُ القَفْرُ *

[‡ The land is displeasing to us from our seeing in it man, and the desolate country is pleasing to us]: the poet makes تُمِرُّ trans. by means of على, because it implies the meaning of تَضِيقُ [which is made trans. by means of the same particle]. (M, TA) You say also, أَمَرُّ وَأَحْلُو, and أَمُرُّ وَأَحْلُو, meaning ‡ I am bitter at one time, and I am sweet at one time. (IAạr, M.) [See also 1 in art. حلو.]

(TA.)

[And hence, app.,] استمرّ also signifies † His case, or state of affairs, became right, after having been bad or corrupt: (ISh, T, TA) he repented, and became good, righteous, or virtuous. (A [but not given as tropical].)

As syn. with أَمَرَّ and مَرَّ, said of food, &c.: see 4.

مَرْمَرَ, [inf. n. مَرْمَرَةٌ, He murmured; grumbled; as alsoتَمَرْمَرَ↓: so in the present day; and probably the primary signification:] he was angry. (IAạr, Ḳ.)

(Mṣb, voce حُرٌّ.) You say بَقْلَةٌ مُرَّةٌ [A bitter leguminous plant]: and هَذِهِ البَقْلَةُ مِنْ أَمْرَارِ البُقْولِ [This leguminous plant is one of the bitter leguminous plants]. (T.)

* مِنْ الدَّهْرِ أَمْ مَرَّتْ عَلَيْكَ مُرُورُ *

[Hast thou become altered since I saw thee, or hath an accident of fortune befallen thee, or have vicissitudes come upon thee?] but Es-Sukkaree holds that مرور is an inf. n.; and IJ says, I do not think this improbable, and that the verb is made fem. because the inf. n. implies muchness and genus. (M.) You say فَعَلْتُهُ مَرَّةً [I did it once], (A, Mṣb,) and مَرَّاتٍ and مِرَارًا [several times]. (A.) [And بِٱلْمَرَّةِ At once.] And لَقِيَهُ ذَاتَ مَرَّةٍ [He met him once]: only used adverbially: (M, Ḳ:) so says Sb. (M.)

* أَلَا قُلْ لِتَيَّا قَبْلَ مِرَّتِهَا ٱسْلَمِى *

[Now say to this damsel, or this little female, (see تَا,) before her passing, Be thou safe]. (M.)
