ارفتّ , as also ↓ رَفَتَ , (M, K,) the latter being intrans. as well as trans., (K, * TA,) It was, or became, broken, broken in pieces, crushed, bruised, brayed, or pounded: (M, K:) said of a bone; i. e., it became what is termed رُفَاتٌ . (M.) And It became cut or broken, cut off or broken off; it broke, or broke off: (K, TA:) the former is said, in this sense, of a rope. (A, TA.)

رُفَتٌ i. q. تِبْنٌ [i. e. Straw; or straw that has been trodden, or thrashed, and cut: also written رُفَّةٌ , and رُفَةٌ , and رُفَةٌ ]. (IAar, T, K.) It is said in a prov., أَنَا أَغْنَى عَنْكَ مِنَ التُّفَهِ عَنِ الرُّفَتِ , (TA,) or اـِلَى الرُّفَتِ (T,) [I am more free from the want of thee than the badger is from the want of straw, or cut straw]: the تفه is what is called عَنَاقُ الأَرْضِ , which has a canine tooth, and does not procure for itself straw nor herbage; and the word is written with ه ; but الرفت is with ت : (T:) or, accord. to ISk, the two words are correctly without teshdeed, and with the radical ه . (TA in art. تفه .) [See also رُفَهٌ .] -A2- Also One who breaks, breaks in pieces, crushes, bruises, brays, pounds, or crumbles, anything, or everything. (K, * TA.)

رُفَاتٌ A thing, (M,) an old and decayed bone, (A, TA,) or anything, (L, TA,) broken, broken in pieces, crushed, bruised, brayed, or pounded; (M, L, TA;) or crumbled, or broken into small pieces with the hand; (A, TA;) or a thing that has become old and worn out, and crumbled, or broken into small pieces: ('Ináyeh, TA: [see مَرْفُوتٌ :]) or broken, or crumbled, particles; fragments, or crumbs; of a thing that is dry, (T, S, A, K, TA,) of any kind; (T;) [as, for instance,] of musk. (A, TA.) Hence, in the Kur [xvii. 52 and 100], أَيءِذَا كُنَّا عِظَامًا وَرُفَاتًا When we shall have become bones and broken particles? (S, M, TA.) [Hence also the phrase] لَا بِرْفَاتِكَ , meaning No, by thy ancestors who have become broken and crumbled bones in the dust. (Har p. 634.) And [hence one says,] هُوَ الَّذِى أَعَادَ المَكَارِمَ وَأَحْيَا رُفَاتَهَا وَأَنْشَرَ أَمْوَاتَهَا (tropical:) [He is the person who has restored generous qualities or actions, and revived such of them as had decayed, and brought to life again such of them as had become dead]. (A, TA.)

مَرْفُوتٌ Broken, broken in pieces, &c. (Akh, S. [See رُفَاتٌ .])
