The wonder: the marvel and the cunning. It is used to describe a cunning and deceitful man. Some say: In the language, wonder is called wonder. So the cunning man is named after it as if time created him and brought him out to people so that they would marvel at him. And wonder is falsehood, so if it is said that so-and-so is wonder, it means that because of his cunning he presents falsehood in the guise of truth, so he is never free from falsehood, so they made him falsehood itself, as in the saying of Al-Khansa: For it is only coming and going. And he added it to his kinds, indicating that he was distinguished from them by a characteristic that made him superior to them, and similar to it is the sound of the sound, and its origin is the snake that is in the sound, which is the dry land.

الهتر: العجب والداهية. يضرب، للرجل الداهي المنكر. قال بعضهم: الهتر، في اللغة، العجب. فسمي الرجل الداهي به كأن الدهر أبدعه وأبرزه للناس ليعجبوا منه، والهتر الباطل فإذا قيل فلان هتر أي من دهائه يعرض الباطل في معرض الحق فهو لا يخلو أبداً من باطل فجعلوه نفس الباطل كقول الخنساء: فإنما هي إقبال وإدبار وأضافه إلى أجناسه إشارة إلى أنه تميز منهم بخاصية يفضلهم بها ومثله، صل أصلال وأصله الحية تكون في الصلة وهي الأرض اليابسة.
