(L.) b3: And حُذْتُ الإِبِلَ and حِذْتُهَا, I mastered, or gained the mastery over, the camels: two forms of the verb mentioned by Zj and IKtt and others, as coordinate to قَالَ and خَافَ. (MF, TA.) and حاذ الحِمَارُ أُتُنَهُ The he-ass gained the mastery over his she-asses, and collected them together; like حازها: (L:) [and so جَانِبَيْهَا ↓ أَحْوَذَ:] Lebeed says, (??) (??)

(S, L:) or did we not gain the mastery over you by befriending and aiding you? (Aboo-Ishák, L:) or did we not overcome you, and have it in our power to slay you? (Bd.) Az says that in all verbs coordinate to استحوذ, the original letters of the root may be preserved: that the Arabs say اِسْتَصَابَ and اِسْتَصْوَبَ, and اِسْتَجَابَ and اِسْتَجْوَبَ: and that their doing so is agreeable with a rule constantly obtaining with them. (S.) The grammarians say that he who says حَاذَ, aor. ـُ says only استحاذ; and he who says أَحْوَذَ, says in like manner استحوذ. (L.) b5: Also حاذ, aor. ـُ (L,) inf. n. حَوْذٌ, (L, K,) He guarded, kept, kept safely, protected, took care of, or minded, [a person, or thing;] syn. حَاطَ, (L,) inf. n. حَوْطٌ. (L, K.)

They say, أَنْقَعُ اللَّبَنِ مَاوَلِىَ حَاذَىِ النَّاقَةِ [The most thirstquenching of milk is that which is next to the hinder parts of the two thighs of the she-camel]: i. e., when it is fresh-drawn, without her having been previously sucked by a young one. (TA. [But the first word, there, is انفع, which I regard as a mistranscription.]) حَاذَةٌ: see الحَاذُ, in two places.

طَرَدٌ أَحْوَذُ A quick hunting. (L.) أَحْوَذِىٌّ Quick in journeying, or in pace; one who goes a journey of ten nights in three. (L.) And hence, (tropical:) Quick in everything that he undertakes: quick, sharp, and active in affairs: (L:) active and skilful: (K:) active in a thing by reason of his skilfulness: (AA, S, L:) applied [as meaning active by reason of expertness] to the wing of a bird of the kind called قَطًا, by a poet.
