From Edward William Lane, An Arabic-English Lexicon (1863–1893), under the root بور. Digitised by the Perseus Project (Tufts); Arabic decoded from Perseus's transliteration.

بَارَ بار بآر آر , (S, M, Msb,) aor. يَبُورُ , (Msb,) inf. n. بَوَارٌ (Lth, T, S, M, K) and بَوْرٌ , (M, K,) or بُورٌ , (Msb,) He, (S,) or it, (Msb,) perished. (Lth, T, S, M, Msb, K.) You say, بَادُوا وَ بَارُوا [They became extinct, and perished]. (A.) ― -b2- [Hence,] بَارَتِ الأَرْضُ (tropical:) The land was, or became, in a bad, or corrupt, state, and uncultivated; (K, * TA;) was unsown. (A.) ― -b3- And بَارَ عَمَلُهُ (assumed tropical:) His work was, or proved, vain, or ineffectual: such is the signification of the verb in the Kur xxxv. 11. (S, K.) ― -b4- And بَارَ , (T, S, &c.,) aor. as above, inf. n. بَوَارٌ , (Msb,) (tropical:) It (a thing, Msb, or commodity, T, S, A, Mgh) was, or became, unsaleable, or difficult of sale, or in little demand: (T, S, A, Mgh, Msb:) because a thing, when neglected, becomes of no use, and thus resembles that which perishes. (Msb.) ― -b5- And بَارَتِ السُّوقُ , (T, M,) inf. n. بَوْرٌ and بَوَارٌ , (K,) (tropical:) The market was, or became, stagnant, or dull, with respect to traffic. (T, M, K.) ― -b6- And بَارَتِ الأَيِّمُ , (A,) inf. n. بَوَارٌ , (T, S, K,) (tropical:) The woman without a husband was not desired, or sought for: (A:) or remained in her house long without being demanded in marriage. (T, K.) ― -b7- [ بَارَ is also used as an imitative sequent of حَارَ ; like as بَايءِرٌ is of حَايءِرٌ : see exs. in art. حور .] -A2- بَارَ النَّاقَةَ , (T, S, A, K,) aor. as above, (T, S, A,) inf. n. بَوْرٌ , (S,) He brought the she-camel to the stallion to see if she were pregnant or not: (T, S, A, K:) for if she is pregnant, she voids her urine in his face (S, K) when he smells her. (S.) ― -b2- Also He (the stallion) smelt the she-camel to know if she were pregnant or not; (T, S, M, K;) and so ↓ ابتارها . (S, M.) ― -b3- Hence the saying, بُرْ لِى مَا عَنْدَ فُلَانٍ (tropical:) Try thou, or examine, and learn, for me, what is in the mind ( نَفْس S) of such a one. (S, A. *) You say, بَارَهُ , (T, S, M, K,) aor. as above, (T, S,) inf. n. بَوْرٌ ; (T, M, K;) and ↓ ابتارهُ , (M,) inf. n. اِبْتِيَارٌ ; (S, K;) meaning (tropical:) He tried him; assayed him; proved him by experiment or experience; examined him. (T, S, M, K.) ElKumeyt says, ↓ ةِ اـِمَّا ا@بْتِهَارًا و اـِمَّا ا@بْتِيَارَا قَبِيحٌ بِمِثْلِىَ نَعْتُ الفَتَا (T, S) (tropical:) It were foul in the like of me to characterize the damsel either by false accusation or by trying, with speaking truth, to elicit what is in her mind ( مَا عِنْدَهَا [i. e. مَا فِى نَفْسِهَا , agreeably with an explanation given above]): (S, TA:) or ↓ ابتيارا , which is without ء , here signifies by asserting with truth my having had sexual intercourse with her: (TA:) [for] ابتارها signifies he asserted with truth that he had had sexual intercourse with her; and ابتهرها “ he asserted the same falsely: ” (A 'Obeyd, T:) and the former signifies also he had sexual intercourse with her (K, TA) by force; he ravished her: (TA:) or ابتار signifies he charged, or upbraided, a person with that which was not in him; and ابتهر “ he charged, or upbraided, with that which was in him. ” (TA in art. بهر .)
