استفلى رَأْسَهُ

, and تفالى, (S, K,) i. e. تفالى هُوَ [not تفالى رأسه], (S,) He desired that his head might be searched for lice. (S, K.)

And استفلاهُ He exposed himself to have his head struck and cut with the sword: (M, TA:) a poet says,

أَمَاتَرَانِى رَابِطَ الجَنَانِ

أَفْلِيهِ بِالسَّيْفِ إِذَا اسْتَفْلَانِى

[Dost thou not see me to be strong of heart? I will strike and cut his head with the sword when he exposes himself to be so struck &c.]
