اغترق الخَيْلَ

(tropical:) He (a horse) mixed among the [other] horses, and then outstripped them, or outwent them. (S, O, K, TA.) And اغترق حَلْبَةَ الخَيْلِ (tropical:) He (a horse) outstripped, or outwent, the collection of horses started together for a wager that were preceding. (AO, TA.) And [hence] one says, خَاصَمَنِى فَاغْتَرَقْتُ حَلْبَتَهُ, meaning (assumed tropical:) [He contended with me in an altercation, or he disputed, or litigated, with me, and] I overcame him in the altercation, &c. (TA.)

اغترق التَّصْدِيرَ, (O, K, TA,) or البَطَانَ, (O, TA,) (tropical:) He (a camel), his belly being large, (O, K, TA,) and his sides being swollen, (O, TA,) took up the whole of the breast-girth, (O, K, TA,) or the belly-girth, (O, TA,) so that it was too strait for him; as also ↓ استغرقهُ. (O, K, TA.)

And اغترق النَّفَسَ (assumed tropical:) He took in the whole of the breath in drawing it in, or back, with vehemence. (S, O, TA.) Accord. to the copies of the K, اغترقت الَّفْسُ, meaning اِسْتَوْعَبَت: but this is a mistake: the correct phrase is اغترق النَّفَسَ, the latter word مُحَرَّكَة [and in the accusative case]; and the explanation, اِسْتَوْعَبَهُ فِى الزَّفِيرِ. (TA.)

And تَغْتَرِقُ نَظَرَهُمْ, said of a woman, (tropical:) [She engrosses their look; i. e.] she occupies them in looking at her so as to divert them from looking at other than her, by reason of her beauty: (O, K, TA:) and in like manner one says, تغترق الطَّرْفَ (tropical:) [she engrosses the look]. (O, TA.) [See also what next follows.]
