4 اغضى, (K,) inf. n. إِغْضَآءٌ, (S,) He contracted his eyelids; drew them near together; (S, K;)

6 تغاضى He contracted, or put together, his eyelids, that he might not see an evil, or unseemly, thing. (Har p. 473. [See also 4.])

غَضًا, said by Th to be written [thus] with ا but ISd says, I know not why this is; (TA;)

[the latter, it seems, holding its last letter to be originally ى, not و;] A species of trees, (S, Msb, K,) well known, (K,) the wood of which is of the hardest of wood, and therefore there is hardness in its charcoal; (Msb;) it is of the plants of the sands, and has [sprigs, or foliage, of the kind termed] هَدَب [q. v.], like that called أَرْطًى; (TA;) and its fire is of long continuance: (Har p. 60:) [see also رِمْثٌ: Mr. Palgrave (in his Travels, i. 38,) describes it as a shrub believed by him to be peculiar to the Arabian Peninsula, “ of the genus Euphorbia, with a woody stem, often five or six feet in height, and innumerable round green twigs, very slender and flexible, forming a large feathery tuft, not ungraceful to the eye, while it affords some kind of shelter to the traveller, and food to his camels: ”] the sing. [or rather n. un.] is غَضَاةٌ: (K:) and AHn says that sometimes غَضَاتٌ is a pl. [of the n. un.]. (TA.)

b2: Hence, ذِئْبُ غَضًا [A wolf of trees, or shrubs, called غَضًا]; (S, K;) or, as in the handwriting of Aboo-Zekereeyà ذِئْبُ الغَضَا; and such is the most abominable, or malignant, or noxious, of wolves; for he comes not into close proximity to men save when he desires to attack: or this means the wolf of the covert of trees: for

b2: And غَاضِيَةٌ signifies also Bright, or shining brightly; (S, K;) applied to a night, (thus in one of my copies of the S,) or to fire (نَار): (so in other copies of the S and in the TA:) thus
