[In two copies of the T, instead of الزِّقَاقَ وَغَيْرَهَا, the reading in the O and K and TA, I find الرُقاقَ وغيره.])

[He mangled it.] One says, الذِّيءْبُ يُفَرْفِرُ الشَّاةَ The wolf mangles the sheep, or goat. (O, * TA.)

And (assumed tropical:) He discommended it, [as though] mangling it with discommendation: the verb occurs in this sense in a tradition, having for its object الدُّنْيَا [meaning the enjoyments, or good, of the present world]. (TA.)
