او

أَوْ a conjunction, (M, Mughnee, K,) to which the later authors have ascribed meanings amounting to twelve: (Mughnee:) a particle which, when occurring in an enunciative phrase, [generally] denotes doubt, and vagueness of meaning; and when occurring in an imperative or a prohibitive phrase, [generally] denotes the giving of option, or choice, and the allowing a thing, or making it allowable. (S.) b2: First, (Mughnee,) it denotes doubt. (T, S, M, Msb, Mughnee, K.) So in the saying, رَأَيْتُ زَيْدًا أَوْ عَمْرًا [I saw Zeyd or 'Amr]. (T, * S, Msb.) And جَآنِى رَجُلٌ أَوِ امْرَأَةٌ [A man or a woman came to me]. (Mbr, T.) And لَبِئْنَا يَوْمًا أَوْ بَعْضَ يَوْمٍ [in the Kur xviii. 18 and xxiii. 115, We have remained a day or part of a day]. (Mughnee.) b3: Secondly, (Mughnee,) it denotes vagueness of meaning. (S, Msb, Mughnee, K.) S [it may be used] in the first of the .exs. given above. (Msb.) And so in the saying, وَأَنَّا أَوْ إِيَّاكُمْ لَعَلَى هُدًي أَوْ فِى ضَلَالٍ مُبِينٍ [and verily we or ye are following a right direction or in manifest error], (S, Mughnee,) in the Kur [xxxiv. 23]; (S;) the ex. being in the former او. (Mughnee.) b4: Thirdly, (Mughnee,) it denotes the giving of option, or choice. (T, S, M, Mughnee, K.) So in the saying, كُلِ السَّمَكَ أَوِ اشْرَبِ اللَّبَنَ [Eat thou the fish, or drink thou the milk]; i. e. do not thou both of these actions; (Mbr, T, S;) but choose which of them thou wilt. (Mbr, T.) And تَزَوَّجْ هِنْدًا أَوْ أُخْتَهَا [Take thou as wife Hind or her sister]. (Mughnee.) And [in like manner] it denotes the making choice. (T.) [So when you say, سَأَتَزَوَّجُ هِنْدًا أَوْ أُخْتَهَا, meaning I will take as wife Hind or her sister; whichever of them I choose.] b5: Fourthly, (Mughnee,) it denotes the allowing a thing, or making it allowable. (T, S, Msb, Mughnee, K.) So in the saying, جَالِسِ حَسَنَ أَوِ ابْنَ سِيرِينَ [Sit thou with El-Hasan or Ibn-Seereen]. (Mbr, T, S.) and قُمْ أَوِ اقْعُدْ [Stand thou or sit]: and the person to whom this is said may do [one or] both of the se actions. (Msb.) [And similar exs. are given in the Mughnee.]) But وَلَا تُطِعْ مِنْهُمْ آثِمًا

أَو كَفُورًا [in the Kur lxxvi. 24, And obey not thou, of them, a sinner or a person very ungrateful to God,] means that thou shalt not obey either of such persons: (Mbr, T, Mughnee:) in which case او is more forcible than وَ; for when you say to a person, لَا تُطِعْ زَيْدًا وَعَمْرًا [Obey not thou Zeyd and 'Amr], he may obey one of them, since the command is that he shall not obey the two. (Zj, T.) b6: Fifthly, (Mughnee,) it denotes unrestricted conjunction. (Mughnee, K.) So in the saying, in the Kur [iv. 46 and v. 9], أَوْ جَآءَ

أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ مِنَ الغَائِطِ [And if any one of you cometh from the privy]; (TA;) [where, however, it may also be rendered or, though] meaning وَجَآءَ; (T, TA;) the و in this explanation being what is termed a denotative of state. (T.) So, too, accord. to Az, in the expression أَوْ يَزِيدُونَ [And they exceeded that number], in the Kur [xxxvii. 147]: but see below. (TA.) And so in the words, أَوْ أَنْ نَفْعَلَ فِى أَمْوَالِنَا مَا نَشَآءُ [and our doing, in respect of our possessions, what we will], in the Kur [xi. 89]. (T, TA.) b7: Sixthly, it denotes transition, (Mughnee,) used in the sense of [the adversative particle] بَلْ, (T, S, M, Mughnee, K,) in a case of amplification of speech; (S;) accord. to Sb, on two conditions; that it shall be preceded by a negation or a prohibition, and that the agent shall be mentioned a second time; as in مَا قَامَ زَيْدٌ أَوْ مَا قَامَ عَمْرٌو [Zeyd did not stand: nay, rather 'Amr did not stand]; and لَا يَقْمٌ زَيدٌ أَوْ لَا يَقُمْ عَمْرُو [Let not Zeyd stand: nay, rather let not 'Amr stand]. (Mughnee.) Accord. to Fr, (Th, M, Mughnee,) it has this meaning in أَوْ يَزِيدُونَ [Nay, rather they exceeded that number], (Th, S, M, Mughnee,) in the Kur [xxxvii. 147, cited above]: (S:) or the meaning is, or they would exceed [that number] in your estimation: or these words with those preceding them in the same verse mean, we sent him to a multitude of whom, if ye saw them, ye would say, They are a hundred thousand, or they exceed [that number]; (M, Mughnee; *) so that it denotes doubt on the part of men, not of God, for He is not subject to doubt: (M:) or we sent him to a hundred thousand in the estimation of men, or they exceeded [that number] in the estimation of men; for God does not doubt: (S:) or او is here used to denote vagueness of meaning: (IB, Mughnee:) or, it is said, to denote that a person might choose between saying, “they are a hundred thousand,“ and saying, “they are more;“ but this may not be when one of the two things is the fact: or, accord. to some of the Koofees, it has the meaning of وَ: and each of these meanings, except the last, has been assigned to او as occurring in the Kur ii. 69 and xvi. 79. (Mughnee.) b8: Seventhly, it denotes division; (Mughnee, K; *) as in the saying, الكَلِمَةُ اسْمٌ أَوْ فِعْلٌ أَوْ حَرْفٌ [The word is a noun or a verb or a particle]: so said Ibn-Málik: or, as he afterwards said, in preference, it denotes separation (التَّفرِيق) divested of the attribute of denoting doubt and vagueness of meaning and the giving of option or choice; adducing as one of his exs. of this meaning the saying, وَقَالُوا كُونُوا هُودًا أَوْ نَصَارَى [in the Kur ii. 129, And they said, “Be ye Jews” or “Christians”]; because the use of و in division is better; as when you say, الكَلِمَةُ اسْمٌ وَفِعْلٌ وَحَرْفٌ: or it denotes, accord. to some, distinction (التَّفْصِيل); and the meaning of the ex. last cited, say they, is, and the Jews said, “Be ye Jews,” and the Christians said, “Be ye Christians.” (Mughnee.) It is [said to be] used in this last sense (that of التفضيل) in the saying, كُنْتُ آكُلُ اللَّحْمَ أَوِ العَسَلَ [I used to eat flesh-meat or honey]; i. e. I used to eat flesh-meat one time and honey another time: and so in the Kur vii. 3 and x. 13. b9: Eighthly, (Mughnee,) it is used in the sense of the exceptive إِلَّا, (Mughnee, K,) or إِلَّا أَنْ (M;) and in this case the aor. after it is mansoob, because of أَنْ suppressed. (Mughnee, K.) So in the saying, لَأَقْتُلَنَّهُ أَوْ يُسْلِمَ [I will assuredly slay him or he shall become a Muslim; i. e., unless he become a Muslim]. (Mughnee. [And a similar ex. is given in the M.]) So, too, in the saying, وَكُنْتُ إِذَا غَمَزْتُ قَنَاةَ قَوْمٍ

كَسَرْتُ كُعُوبَهَا أَوْ تَسْتَقِيمَا [And I used, when I pinched and pressed the spear of a people, to break its knots, or joints, or its internodal portions, (the shaft being a cane,) or, i. e. unless, it became straight]: (Mughnee, K: *) a prov., of which the author is Ziyád ElAajam; meaning, when a people behaved with hardness to me, I endeavoured to soften them: (TA in art. غمز:) thus related by Sb, the verb ending it being rendered mansoob by او; and thus he heard it from some one or more of the Arabs; but in the original verses, which are but three, it is تَسْتَقِيمُ, with refa. (IB and TA in art. غمز.) [And similar to these above are the sayings,] إنَّهُ لِفُلَانٍ أَوْمَا بِنَجْدٍ قَرظَهُ [Verily it belongs to such a one or there is not, i. e. unless there be not, in Nejd, a قَرَظَة (see art. قرظ)]: and لَآتِيَنَّكَ أَوْ مَا بِنَجْدٍ قَرَظَةٌ [I will assuredly come to thee or there is not, i. e. unless there be not, in Nejd, a قَرَظَة]; meaning I will assuredly come to thee, in truth. (T.) b10: Ninthly, (Mughnee,) it is used in the sense of إِلَى, (Mughnee, K,) or إِلَى أَنْ; (S;) in which case also the aor. after it is mansoob, because of أَنْ suppressed: (Mughnee:) and in the sense of حَتَّى [which is also syn. with إِتَى]. (Fr, T, M, K.) So in the saying, لَأَضْرِبَنَّهُ أَوْ يَتُوبَ [I will assuredly beat him until he repent]. (S. [And similar exs. of او as explained by حَتَّي are given in the T (from Fr) and in the M and in the Mughnee.]) And so in the saying of the poet, لَأَسْتَسْهِلَنَّ الصَّعْبَ أَوْ أُدْرِكَ المُنَى

فَمَا انْقَادَتِ الآمَالُ إِلَّا لِصَابِرِ [I will assuredly deem easy what is difficult until I attain the objects of wish; for hopes become not easy of accomplishment save to one who is patient]. (Mughnee.) b11: Tenthly, some say, (Mughnee,) it denotes nearness [of one event or thing to another]; as in the saying, مَا أَدْرِى

أَسَلَّمَ أَوْ وَدَّعَ [I know not whether he saluted or bade farewell]: (Mughnee, K: [but in the CK this ex. is misplaced:]) this, however, is manifestly wrong; او being here used to denote doubt, and the denoting of nearness being only inferred from the fact of the saluting being confounded in the mind with the bidding farewell, since this is impossible or improbable when the two times are far apart. (Mughnee.) b12: Eleventhly, (Mughnee,) it occurs as a conditional, (T, Mughnee, K,) accord. to Ks alone; (T;) or rather as a conjunctive and conditional; وَإِنْ being meant to be understood in its place; though in truth the verb that precedes it indicates that the conditional particle [إِنْ] is meant to be understood [before that verb], and او retains its proper character, but forms part of that which has a conditional meaning because conjoined with a preceding conditional phrase. (Mughnee.) So in the saying, لَأَضْرِبَنَّهُ عَاشَ أَوْ مَاتَ, (Mughnee, K,) i. e., إِنْ عَاِض بَعْدَ الضَّرْبِ وَ إِنْ مَاتَ [I will assuredly beat him if he live (after the beating) or if he die]: so says Ibn-Esh-Shejeree. (Mughnee.) b13: Twelfthly, accord. to Ibn-Esh-Shejeree, on the authority of some one or more of the Koofees, (Mughnee,) it denotes division into parts, or portions; as in the saying [in the Kur ii. 129, before cited,] وَقَالُوا كُونُوا هُودًا أَو نَصَارَى, (Mughnee, K,) i. e. And they said, “Be ye, some of you, Jews, and, some of you, Christians:” (TA:) but [IHsh says,] it appears to me that the meaning here is that of التَّفْصِيل mentioned before. (Mughnee.) b14: [In the K it is said to occur also in the sense of أَنْ: but this is evidently a mistake, app. originating in one of the two principal sources of the K, namely, the M, in which the same is said, but is exemplified by a phrase in which it is explained by إِلَّا أَنْ, the eighth of the meanings of أَوْ mentioned above.] b15: See also أَوٌّ below.

أَوَ in أَوَ لَمْ يَرَوْا &c. is [the conjunction] وَ with the interrogative ا prefixed to it. (Fr, T.) أَوِّ مِنْ كَذَا (T, M) and أَوَّ (M) [Alas, on account of, or for, such a thing!] an expression denoting complaint of distress, or of anxiety, or of grief or sorrow; (T;) or an expression of grief or sorrow; (M;) like ↓ آوِ and ↓ آوٍ and ↓ أَوَتَاه (K and TA in art. اوه,) or ↓ أَوَتَاهُ (CK in that art.,) or ↓ أَوَّتَاه, or ↓ آوَّتَاه, (S in that art., [the ه in one copy of which is marked as quiescent,]) and like آهِ and أَوْهِ &c. (S and Msb and K in art. اوه: see آهِ in that art.) Az says, one says, أَوْهِ عَلَى زَيْدٍ

[meaning Alas, for Zeyd!] with kesr to the ه, and عَلَيْكَ ↓ أَوَّتَا [thus without ه, meaning Alas, for thee!] with ت; an expression of regret for a thing, whether of great or mean account. (T.) أَوٌّ The word ↓ أَوْ when made a noun. (T, K.) So say the grammarians. (T.) You say, هٰذهِ أَوٌّحَسَنَةٌ [This is a good أَوْ]. (T.) And to one who uses the phrase أَفْعَلُ كَذَا أَوْ كَذَا, (T,) you say, دَعِ الأَوَّجَانِبًا [Let thou, or leave thou, the word أَوْ alone]. (T, K.) أَوَّةٌ [A moaning (see its syn. آهَةٌ in art. اوه)] is said by some to be of the measure فَعْلَةٌ, in which the ة is the sign of the fem. gender; for they say, سَمِعْتُ أَوَّتَكَ [I heard thy moaning], making it ت: and so says Lth; أَوَّةٌ is after the manner of فَعْلَةٌ: (T:) you say, أَوَّةً لَكَ [May God cause moaning to thee!], (Lth, T, and S in art. اوه,) and آهَةً لَكَ: [but accord. to J, the former of these is cognate with the latter; for he says that] the former is with the ه suppressed, and with teshdeed to the و. (S in art. اوه, where see آهَةٌ.) b2: أَوَّتَا عَلَيكَ; and أَوَّتَاه, or آوَّتَاه, or أَوَتَاه, or أَوَتَاهُ: see أَوِّ مِنْ كَذَا.

أُوَّةٌ i. q. دَاهِيَةٌ [A calamity, a misfortune, &c.: or, perhaps, very cunning, applied to a man]: pl. أُوَوْ; (AA, T, K, TA; [but in copies of the K, written أُوَوٌ;]) which is one of the strangest of the things transmitted from the Arabs; the regular form being أُوَّى, like قُوَّي, pl. of قُوَةٌ; but the word occurring as above in the saying of the Arabs, مَا هُوَ إِلَّا أُوَّةٌ مِنَ الأُوَوْ [It is no other thing than a calamity of the calamities: or, perhaps, he is no other than a very cunning man of the very cunning]. (AA, T, TA.) آوِ and آوٍ: see أَوِّ: and see آهِ in art. اوه.

أَوَوِىٌّ and آوِىٌّ: see آيَةٌ, in art. اى.

آوَّتَاه: see أَوِّ.

صَدّاء:
بالفتح ثم التشديد، والمدّ، ويروى صدآء، بهمزتين بينهما ألف، قال المبرّد: صيداء، قال أبو عبيد: من أمثالهم في الرجلين يكونان ذوي فضل غير أن لأحدهما فضلا على الآخر قولهم: ماء ولا
كصدّاء، والمثل لمقذّفة بنت قيس بن خالد الشيباني وكانت زوجة لقيط بن زرارة فتزوّجها بعده رجا من قومها فقال لها يوما: أنا أجمل أم لقيط؟ فقالت:
ماء ولا كصدّاء، أي أنت جميل ولكن لست مثله، قال أبو عبيد: وقال المفضّل: صدّاء ركية ليس عندهم ماء أعذب منها، وفيها يقول ضرار بن عمرو السعدي:
وإنّي وتهيامي بزينب كالذي ... يطالب من أحواض صدّاء مشربا
قال: ولا أدري صدّاء فعلاء أم فعّال، فإن كان فعّالا فهو من صدا يصدو أو من صدي يصدى، وقال الزّجاج: وفي أمثال العرب ماء ولا كصدّاء، وبعضهم يقول: لا كصدّا، وإنما هي بئر للعرب عذبة جدّا، وهذا الاسم اشتقّ لها من أنها تصدّ من شرب منها عن غيرها من المشارب، وليس ذلك من اللفظ، فأما الضمّ فإنه ليس فيها معروفا، ومن قال كصدّاء فجائز أن تكون سميت بذلك لأن لونها لون الصّدإ، قال شمر: صدا الهام يصدو إذا صاح، وإن كان صدّاء فعلاء فهو من المضاعف كقولهم: صمّاء من الصمم، وقال أبو نصر بن حمّاد: صدّاء اسم ركية عذبة الماء، وفي المثل: ماء ولا كصدّاء، وقلت لأبي علي النحوي: هو فعلاء من المضاعف، فقال:
نعم، وأنشدني لضرار بن عتبة العبشمي السعدي:
كأني من وجد بزينب هائم ... يخالس من أحواض صدّاء مشربا
رأى دون برد الماء هولا وذادة، ... إذا اشتدّ صاحوا قبل أن يتحبّبا
قالوا: تحبّب الحمار إذا امتلأ من الماء، وقال بعضهم:
صدآء مثل صدعاء، قال: وسألت عنه بالبادية رجلا من بني سليم فلم يهمزه، وقال نصر: صدّاء ماء معروف بالبياض وهو بلد بين سعد بن زيد مناة بن تميم وكعب بن ربيعة بن كلاب يصدر فيه فلج جعدة، وهو ماء قليل ليس في تلك الفلاة، وهي عريضة، غيره وغير ماء آخر مثله في القلّة، وبصدّاء منبر، وماؤه شديد المرارة، كذا قال نصر، وكيف يكون مرّا وفي المثل السائر فيه ما يدلّ على حلاوته؟
والله أعلم، قال آدم بن شدقم العنبري:
وحبّذا شربة من شنّة خلق ... من ماء صدّاء تشفي حرّ مكروب
قد ناط شنّتها الظامي وقد نهلت ... منها بحوض من الطرفاء منصوب
تطيب حين تمسّ الأرض شنّتها ... للشاربين وقد زادت على الطيب
قال ابن الفقيه: قدم ابن شدقم العنبري البصرة فملح عليه شرب الماء واشتدّ عليه الحرّ وآذاه تهاوش ريحها وكثرة بعوضها ثم مطرت السماء فصارت ردغا فقال:
أشكو إلى الله ممسانا ومصبحنا ... وبعد شقّتنا يا أمّ أيّوب
وانّ منزلنا أمسى بمعترك ... يزيده طبعا وقع الأهاضيب
ما كنت أدري، وقد عمّرت مذ زمن: ... ما قصر أوس وما بحّ الميازيب
تهيجني نفحات من يمانية ... من نحو نجد ونعبات الغرابيب
كأنهن على الأجذال، كلّ ضحى، ... مجالس من بني حام أو النوب
يا ليتنا قد حللنا واديا خصبا، ... أو حاجرا لفّنا غضّ التعاشيب
وحبّذا شربة من شنّة خلق
الأبيات الثلاثة المذكورة قبل.

إيوَابٌ, of the measure فِيعَالٌ, (M, TA,) or, accord. to Fr, إِيَّابٌ is incorrect, and the right word is إِيَابٌ: (TA:) [and if so, أَيَّبَ is perhaps changed from أَوَّبَ, like as أَيْبَةٌ is from أَوْبَةٌ; and تَأْيِيبٌ is perhaps its inf. n., changed from تَأْوِيبٌ:] or, as some say, إِيَابٌ signifies only the returning to one's family at night: (M, TA:) and أَهْلَهُ ↓ تأوّب and اهله ↓ ائتاب [as well as آبَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ] signify he returned to his family at, or in, the night: (T, TA:) or آبَ إِلَيْهِمْ, (S,) [or آبَهُمْ, accord. to a copy of the A, where we find أُبْتُ بَنِي فُلَانٍ,] aor. as above; (TA;) and ↓ تَأَوَّبَهُمْ (S, A, K) and ↓, تَأَيَّبَهُمْ, (K,) ى taking the place of و, (TA,) inf. n. مُتَأَوَّبٌ and مُتَأَيَّبٌ, (M, * [in which the two forms of the verb are also given, but with the sing. pronoun of the third Pers\. instead of the pl.,] and K,) each in the form of a pass. part. n.; (TA;) he came to them at night: (S, M, * A, K:) and آبَ المَآءَ, (M,) inf. n. أَوْبٌ, (K,) signifies he came to the water, to drink, at night; as also ↓ ائتابهُ; (M, K;) and ↓ تأوّبهُ: (M:) or, accord. to Az, تَأَوَّبتُ signifies I came in the beginning of the night. (S.) You say also, آبَتِ الشَّمْسُ, (T, S, &c.,) aor. ـُ (M,) inf. n. مَآبٌ, (T,) or إِيَابٌ [in the CK اَياب] and أُيُوبٌ, (M, K,) The sun returned from its place of rising, and set: (Msb:) or the sun set; (T, S, M, A, K;) as though it returned to the place whence it commenced its course; (M;) [or] it is a dial. var. of غَابَت. (S.) And آبَ إِلَيْهِ People came to him from every direction, or quarter. (TA, from a trad.) The poet Sáideh Ibn-El-'Ajlán uses the expression, لَآبَكَ مُرْهَفٌ, meaning A thin sword would have come to thee; in which the verb may be trans. by itself, or the prep. إِلَى may be understood. (M, TA.) b2: He returned from disobedience to obedience; he repented. (TA.) and آبَ إِلَى اللّٰهِ He returned unto God from his sin, or offence, and repented.

And آبَ يَدَهُ إِلَى سَيْفِهِ, (as in a copy of the T,) or بِيَدِهِ, (as in a copy of the A, [which is probably here the more correct],) He put back his hand to his sword to draw it: (Lth, T, A:) and الى قَوْسِهِ [to his bow] to draw it: and الى سَهْمِهِ [to his arrow] to shoot it. (A.) b4: See also 2.2 أوّب: see 1, first sentence: b2: and the same again, near the end. b3: He repeated, or echoed, the praises of God: thus in the saying [in the Kur xxxiv. 10], يَا جِبَالُ أَوِّبِى مَعَهُ 0 mountains, repeat ye, or echo ye, the praises of God with him; [i. e., with David;] (S, * M, TA;) but some read معه ↓ اُوبِى, meaning return ye with him in praising as often as he returneth therein: (M, TA:) or, accord. to the former reading, the meaning is, 0 mountains, labour ye with him in praising God all the day, until the night: (T:) for b4: أوّب, (T, A,) inf. n. تَأْوِيبٌ, (T, A, K) also signifies It (a company of men) journeyed by day: (Aboo-Málik, T:) or all the day, (T, A, K,) to the night, (T,) without alighting to rest: (TA:) تأويب being the same kind of day-journeying as إِسْــآدٌ is of night-journeying: (T, M:) or he journeyed all the day, and alighted at night: (T, S:) or he journeyed by night: (Msb:) or تأويب (M, L, K) and ↓ مُؤَاوَبَةٌ (Lth, T, L, K) signify the vying, one with another, of travellingcamels, in pace, or going. (Lth, T, M, L, K.) A poet says, ↓ تَجِدْهُ مِئْوَبَا ↓ وَإِنْ تُؤَاوِبْهُ [And if thou, or they, (meaning camels,) vie with him in pace, or going, thou wilt, or they will, find him to be one that overcomes therein]: so as related by Lth: but as related by others, تُؤَوِّبْهُ.

(S, M, Msb, K.) b2: Also The returning of the fore and hind legs of a beast in going along: (T, M, A, * K:) or quickness in the changing, or shifting, of the fore and hind legs in going along: (S:) and simply quickness, or swiftness. (M, K.) One says, مَا أَعْجَبَ أَوْبَ يَدَيْهَا How wonderful is the returning [or quick shifting] of her fore legs! (A.) And to one going at a quick pace, one says, الأَوْبَ الأَوْبَ [meaning Keep to the quick changing, or shifting, of the legs; a verb being understood: or Trot on! Trot on!]. (A.) b3: A right, or direct, way, course, or tendency; syn. قَصْدٌ and اِسْتِقَامَةٌ.
