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

قَتَرَ , aor. قَتِرَ (S, Msb, K) and قَتُرَ , (Msb, K,) inf. n. قَتْرٌ and قُتُورٌ ; (TK;) and قَتِرَ , aor. قَتَرَ ; (S, K;) It (roast meat, S, Msb, K, and a cookingpot, and burnt bone, and a perfume with which one fumigates, K, or aloes-wood, TA) exhaled its scent, smell, or odour; (S, Msb, K;) as also ↓ قتّر , inf. n. تَقْتِيرٌ . (K.) ― -b2- قَتَرَتِ النَّارُ The fire smoked. (TA.) -A2- قَتَرَ , aor. قَتُرَ and قَتِرَ , inf. n. قَتْرٌ and قُتُورٌ , It (sustenance) was barely sufficient; (K;) as also ↓ أَقْتَرَ . (CK: but this latter is omitted in the TA; and in a MS. copy of the K I find in its place أقْتَرُ , as a syn. of قَاتِرٌ and قَتُورٌ .) [This signification is implied in the K, but not expressed, and I think it doubtful.] ― -b2- قَتَرَ عَلَى عِيَالِهِ , aor. قَتُرَ and قَتِرَ inf. n. قَتْرٌ and قُتُورٌ ; (S, Msb;) and ↓ قتّر عَلَيْهِمْ , (S, Msb, K,) inf. n. تَقْتِيرٌ ; (S, Msb;) and ↓ اقتر , (S, Msb, K,) inf. n. اـِقْتَارٌ ; (S, Msb;) He scanted his household, stinted them, or was niggardly or parsimonious towards them, in expenditure; (S, Msb, K;) like قَدَرَ : (S, art. قدر :) as though he took only the قُتَار [or scent] of a thing. (El-Basáïr.) وَلَمْ يَقْتُرُوا in the Kur, xxv. 67, signifies وَلَمْ يَقْتُرُوا عَمَّا يَجِبُ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنَ النَّفَقَةِ [Nor are sparing of what is incumbent on them, of expenditure]. (Fr.) You say also ا@للّٰهُ رِزْقَهُ ↓ أَقْتَرَ God made his means of subsistence strait, and scanty. (IAth.) And قُتِرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقُهُ His means of subsistence were scanted, or straitened, to him, like فُدِرَ ; (S, art. قدر ;) and رِزْقُهُ ↓ تَقَتَّرَ [signifies the same]. (TA in art. حرف , &c.)
