جَفَلَ, verbal noun جُفُولٌ, (tropical:) It (hair) became shaggy, or dishevelled, and frouzy, or altered in smell, in consequence of its being seldom dressed; or dusty and matted, by reason of its being seldom anointed; (K, TA;) and became raised and spread. (TA.)

-A2- جَفَلَ is also transitive, signifying He made a bird to take fright, and fly away; or he scared it away: its quasi-pass. is ↓ اجفل [explained above]; the reverse of the rule commonly obtaining: (Msb:) or the former verb, as in the O; not the latter, as in the K; he made a male ostrich to hasten, or speed, in his pace, and to go away in the land, or country; or made him to spread his wings, and run quickly, or go away at random and swiftly: (TA:) and ↓ جفّل he, or it, made an animal, or animals, to take fright, and flee, or run away at random; or scared away it, or them: (TA:) [and, apparently, he frightened; تَجْفِيلٌ being also said in the TA to be synonym with تَفْرِيعٌ, which, I think, is evidently a mistranscription for تَفْزِيعٌ.] You say, القَنَّاصُ الوَحْشَ ↓ جفّل [The sportsman scared away the wild animals]. (TA.) And عَنْ مَرَاكِزِهِمْ ↓ أَتَوْهُمْ فَجَفَّلُوهُمْ [They came to them, and scared them, or frightened them, or made them to flee, away from their stations]. (TA.) And جَفَلَتِ الرِّيحُ الظَّلِيمَ The wind put in motion the male ostrich, and drove him away, or along: (K:) and [in like manner] السَّفِينَةَ [(assumed tropical:) the ship]. (TA.) And جَفَلَتِ الرِّيحُ السَّحَابَ (tropical:) The wind smote the clouds, and put them into a state of commotion, (K, TA,) and made them to speed along. (TA.) And الرِّيحُ تَجْفِلُ الجَهَامَ (assumed tropical:) The wind carries away the rainless clouds. (Mgh. [See also 4.]) Whence, apparently, (Mgh,) جَفَلَ البَحْرُ سَمَكًا (assumed tropical:) The sea cast fish upon the shore; (Lth, Mgh, K;) a verb like ضَرَبَ; occurring in a tradition, in which it is erroneously said to be أَجْفَلَ. (Mgh.)

Also, (K,) aorist جَفِلَ , verbal noun جَفْلٌ, (TA,) He prostrated a man; threw him down upon the ground. (K.) You say, طَعَنَهُ فَجَفَلَهُ, meaning He thrust him, or pierced him, [with a spear or the like,] and displaced and prostrated him. (Mgh.)

He threw goods one upon another. (IDrd, Msb, TA.)

(TA.)

Also, (Msb, K,) aorist جَفُلَ , (Msb,) or جَفِلَ , (K,) He swept away mud (Msb, K, TA) from the ground; (TA;) and so ↓ جفّل. (K.) [It seems that Golius found, in a copy of the K, التِّبْنَ erroneously put for الطِّينَ; and حَرَقَهُ for جَرَفَهُ; for he has explained the former verb as meaning “ combussit stramen. ”]
