نَهِرٌ

Much, (TA;) as also ↓ نَهيرٌ; (K, TA;) both applied to water. (TA.)

A wide نَهْر [or river, or channel in which water runs]. (K.)

-A2- رَخُلٌ نَهِرٌ A man of day-time; synonym صَاحِبُ نَهَارٍ; (S, K;) who makes inroads or incursions into the territories of enemies therein: (S:) or who works therein: (A:) a kind of rel. n.; as is shown by the example

لَسْتُ بِلَيْلِىٍّ وَلٰكِنِّى نهِرٌ

لَا أُدْلِجُ اللَّيْلَ وَلٰكِنْ أَبْتَكِرْ

[I am not one of the night-time, but I am one of the day-time; I do not journey in the night, but I go forth early in the morning]: as though he said ↓ نَهَارِىّ. (Sb.) The verse is correctly related as above; not as it is given in the S. (IB.)
