  • هاوأهُ Form III He contended with him for superior glory
    He contended with him for superior glory: like هَاوَاهُ. (IAar.) [See also art. هوى.]
  • هَآءِ Give
    , هَآءَ, هَأْ, &c. ― -b2- هَاءِ, with kesr, is syn. with هَاتِ, Give; [or changed from this verb;] and is thus inflected: sing. masc. هَآءِ, fem. هايأِى; dual. masc. and fem. هَايأِيَا; pl. masc. هَاوأُوا, fem. هَايأِينَ: (S, K: like هَاتُوا; هَاتِيَا; هَاتِى, هَاتِ, هَاتِينَ: ء holding the place of ت: S.) ― -b3- But هَآءَ, with fet-h, is syn. with هَاكَ, Take; [or changed from this word;] and is thus inflected: sing. masc. هَآءَ, fem. هَآءِ, without ى; dual masc. and fem. هَاوأُمَا; pl. masc. هَاوأُمُ, [so in the K, and so I find it in one copy of the S: in another copy of the latter, هَاوأُمُ, as it is pronounced before a conjunctive ا; for instance, in the Kur, lxix, 19:] fem. هَاوأُنَّ, (S, K:) or هَاوأُمْنَ: (L:) [which last does not exactly correspond with the model هَاكُنَّ: but I think it most probable that هَاكُنَّ is changed by idghám from هَاكُمْنَ; and in like manner, that هَاوأُنَّ is changed from هَاوأُمْنَ:] (like هَاكَ, هَاكِ; هَاكُمَا; هَاكُمْ, هَاكُنَّ: holding the place of ك: S:) also, sing. masc. هَأْ (originally هَآءُ, S), fem. هَايأِى; dual masc. (S) and fem. (S, K) هَاآ; (S, K;) pl. masc. هَاوأُوا, (S,) fem. هَأْنَ: (S, K:) also, sing. masc. and fem. هَأْ; dual. masc. هَاآ, fem. هَايأِيَا; pl. masc. هَاوأُوا, fem. هَاوأُنَّ. (TA.) ― -b4- [See a saying of 'Omar cited voce رَمَآءٌ, in art. رمى.] ― -b5- When it is said to thee هَآءَ Take, thou sayest مَا أَهَآءُ What shall I take? syn. مَا آخُذُ; and مَا أُهَآءُ, in the pass. form, What shall I receive, or be given? syn. مَا أُعْطَى. (S.) [Also, in the TA, it seems to be said that أَهَآءَ signifies أَعْطَى He gave, or made to take: but this is uncertain; as the former verb is there written اهاءَ, and the latter is without the syll. points]. ― -b6- هَآءَ is also syn. with لبَّيْكَ At thy service! &c.. (K, TA.) -A2- لَا هَآءَ ٱللّٰهِ ذَا, or, more chastely, لَا هَا ٱللّٰهِ ذَا, or the former is a barbarism; originally لَا وَٱللّٰهِ هٰذَا: ها and ذا are separated, and the name of God is introduced between them; (K;) and the meaning is No, by God, (I did not) this! (S, art. ها, q. v.) or No, by God, this (is what I swear by)! (K.)
  • هَوْءٌ Mind; purpose; aspiration; desire; ambition
    Mind; purpose; aspiration; desire; ambition. (S, K, TA.) Ex. بَعِيذُ الهَوْءِ A person of far-reaching aspiration, or ambition. (S, TA.) ― -b2- هَوْءٌ Penetrating judgment. (K.) ― -b3- وَقَعَ فى هَوْيأِى, and ↓ هُويأِى, It occurred to my mind, or imagination. (K.)

    (S, K) and ↓ مَهْوَيأِنٌّ (K) A wide desert, or wide tract of the kind called صَحْرَآء. (S. K.) ― -b2- Custom: syn. عَادَةٌ. (K.) ― -b3- A part of the night. (K.) ― -b4- The mention of مهوأنّ in this art., by J, says IB, and F after him, is wrong; for its measure is مفوعّل; the و being an augmentative letter. [But if so, F has himself done wrong, in mentioning it, not only here, but also in art. هون, (where, if the و be augmentative, it is equally inappropriate,) as though it were a quasi-quadriliteral-radical word, of the measure مفعاُلّ.] ISd gives it as formed by transposition from the root هنأ, and explains it as signifying a wide place. (TA.)
  • مُهْوَيأِنٌّ Open entry
