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

طَفِيءَتِ النَّارُ , aor. طَفَاَ , inf. n. طُفُوْءٌ (S, Msb, K) and طَفَأٌ ; (TA;) and ↓ انطفأت ; (S, K;) The fire became extinguished, or quenched: (Msb:) or ceased to flame: (K, TA:) [or rather, ceased to flame and its live coals became cool; for] when the flame of the fire has become allayed but its coals still burn, it is said to be خَامِدَة ; and when its flame is extinct and its coals have become cool, it is said to be هَامِدَة and ↓ طَافِيءَة . (TA.)

اطفأ النَّارَ He extinguished, or quenched, the fire. (S, * Msb, K, * TA.) Hence, اطفأ الحَرْبَ (tropical:) He extinguished the fire of the war. (TA.) And أَطْفَأْتُ الفِتْنَةَ (tropical:) I allayed the sedition, or conflict and faction, or the like. (Msb.)

اـِنْطَفَاَ see the first paragraph.

نَارٌ طَافِيءَةٌ [Fire becoming, or become, extinguished]: see 1.

مُطْفِيءُ الجَمْرِ [The extinguisher of the live coals;] one of the [seven] days called أَيَّامُ العَجُوزِ ; (S, O;) the fifth of those days; (K;) so in the M &c.: (TA:) or the fourth thereof: (O, K:) or the last thereof. (Har p. 295.) [Accord. to modern Egyptian almanacs, it is the fourth of those days on which the last of the three جَمَرَات becomes extinct: see جَمْرَةٌ : and see also عَجُوزٌ ] ― -b2- مُطْفِيءَةُ الرَّضْفِ (so in the M and O and L and in some copies of the K, in other copies of the K مُطْفِيءُ , TA) A piece of fat which, when it falls upon the رَضْف [or heated stones], melts, and quenches them. (Lth, O, K.) And in the M and L, it is said to signify A lean sheep or goat: the Arabs, as is related by Lh, used to say, حَدَسَ لَهُمْ بِمُطْفِيءَةِ الرَّضْفِ (TA) i. e. He slaughtered for them a lean sheep or goat, which extinguished the fire and did not become thoroughly cooked: (M and L and K in art. حدس :) or a fat sheep or goat, (AO and T, TA in that art.,) which quenched the رَضْف by its fat. (T, TA ibid. [See also دَمَغَ .]) ― -b3- Also A serpent, the poison of which, as it passes by the رَضْف , extinguishes their fire: (O, K:) in a verse of El-Kumeyt, [for the sake of the metre,] the former word is [altered to] ↓ مُطَفِّيءَة . (O.) ― -b4- And (tropical:) A calamity, or misfortune: (O, K, TA:) said by AO to mean originally such as has made one to forget that which was before it, and extinguished its heat. (O, TA.)

مُطَفِّيءَةُ الرَّضْفِ : see the next preceding paragraph.
