ر و غr-w-gh

(ن) رَاغَ يَرُوْغُ رَوْغًا وَرَوَغَانًاrāgha yarūghu rawghan wa-rawaghānan (original form: رَوَغَrawagha): to slip away and turn aside quietly, to dodge away slyly; the lexicographers say it carries the sense of turning stealthily and suddenly, whence «رَوَغَانُ الثَّعْلَبِrawaghānu ath-thaʿlab» (the fox's trick). Three times in the Quran, all three in the account of Ibrāhīm (peace be upon him): ﴿فَرَاغَ اِلٰٓى اٰلِهَتِهِمْ﴾ (Aṣ-Ṣāffāt 37:91); ﴿فَرَاغَ عَلَيْهِمْ ضَرْبًۢا بِالْيَمِيْنِ﴾ (Aṣ-Ṣāffāt 37:93); ﴿فَرَاغَ اِلٰٓى اَهْلِهِۦ﴾ (Adh-Dhāriyāt 51:26)
