From Edward William Lane, An Arabic-English Lexicon (1863–1893), under the root قفو. Digitised by the Perseus Project (Tufts); Arabic decoded from Perseus's transliteration.
قَفَا أَثَرَهُ and اـِتْرَهُ He followed his track, or footsteps; tracked him. (S, Msb.) ― -b2- قَفَا فُلَانًا He followed the footsteps of such a one. (TA.) See قَصَّ أَثَرَهُ , which signifies the same, for a better explanation. See also قَفَوَتُ أَثَرَهُ .
قَفًا The back of the neck. (S, Msb, K.) ― -b2- عَيْنَاهُ فِى قَفَاهُ is said of him who is put to flight. because he looks behind him, fearing pursuit. (TA in art. انف .) And جَعَلَ أَنْفَهُ فِى قَفَاهُ : see أَنْفٌ . ― -b3- [Also the back of the hand: and the flat back of a knife and the like.]
قَفِيَّةٌ : see دَوَا=ءُ .
قَافِيَةٌ , by synecdoche, for ذُو قَافِيَةٍ , (IJ,) (tropical:) A verse; a single verse of a poem. (Akh, Az, TA.) ― -b2- Also, [by a further extension of the proper signification,] A قَصِيدَة [or an ode, or a poem]. (Az, IJ, TA.)
