فَارِعَةٌ

The higher, or highest, part of a mountain [and of a valley]: one says, اِنْزِلْ بِفَارِعَةِ الوَادِى وَاحْذَرْ أَسْفَلَهُ [Alight thou in the higher, or highest, part of the valley, and beware of its lower, or lowest, part]. (S, O.) See also فَرْعَةٌ, in two places.

الفَارِعَةُ مِنَ الغَنَايءِمِ means The surplus that is deducted [so I render المُرْتَفِعَةُ الصَّاعِدَةُ, apparently such things as cannot be divided and are therefore removed,] from the main stock of the spoils before they are divided into fifths. (TA.)

And فَوَارِعٌ, (plural of فَارِعَةٌ, TA,) applied to تِلَاع, [a word variously explained, here, I think, used as signifying either high, or low, grounds, (see its singular تَلْعَةٌ,)] (S, O, * K, *) means Of which the channels wherein the torrents flow are in high, or elevated, parts. (S, O, K.)
