pret. verb [like رَوِىَ]; (
TA;) and ↓ ارتوى and ↓ تروّى; (

Akh,
M:) [when two or more letters are indispensable to the rhyme, only one of them is thus termed, according to rules fully explained in the
M and in the treatises on versification:]
IJ mentions رَوِيَّاتٌ as its
pl.; but [

T,
M,
K) of anything. (
T.) One says of a woman, إِنَّهَا لَطَيِّبَةُ الرَّيَّا, meaning Verily she is sweet in the odour of her body: and hence the saying of Imrael-Keys, إِذَا قَامَتَا تَضَوَّعَ المِسْكُ مِنْهُمَا نَسِيمَ الصَّبَا جَآءَتْ بِرَيَّا القَرَنْفُلِ [When they stand, the fragrance of musk is diffused from them, like the breath of the east wind that has brought the sweet odour of the clove].

contr. of عَطْشَانُ: (
S,
Mgh: *)
fem. رَيَّا, (
T,
S,
M,
Mgh,
Msb,
K,) in which the ى is not changed into و because the word is an
epithet; for it is changed into و only in a
subst., of the measure فَعْلَى, of which ى is the final radical, as in تَقْوَى; so that if it were a
subst., it would be رَوَّى; (
S,
M;) originally رَوْيَا: (
M:) as to رَيَّا that is thought to be used as the proper name of a woman, it is, thus used, an
epithet, like الحَارِثُ and العَبَّاسُ, though without the article ال: (
S, *
M:) the

tropical:) Full of fat and flesh. (
JM.) And you say وَجْهٌ رَيَّانُ (
tropical:) [A plump face]; an expression of dispraise [
app. when relating to a man, but not otherwise; for رَيَّانُ, or رَيَّا, applied to a youth, or to a woman, or a limb of a woman, meaning plump and juicy, is used by way of praise]: opposed to وَجْهٌ ظَمْآنُ. (A and

TA;) as in the phrase رَجُلٌ رَاوِيَةٌ لِلشِّعْرِ [a man who is a large, or copious, relater &c. of poetry]: (
S:) the
pl. of رَاوٍ is رُوَاةٌ. (
S,
TA.)
A2: Also One who has the superintendence, management, or care, of horses (مَنْ يَقُومُ عَلَى الخَيْلِ [strangely rendered by Freytag, who seems to have read عَلَى الجَمَلِ, “constrictus fune et stans super cameli dorso ”]). (

K,) or a mule, or an ass, (
S, and so in the
K with the exception of “ and ” for “ or,”) upon which water is drawn: (A 'Obeyd,
T,
S,
K: [see سَانِيَةٌ:]) or a camel that carries water; (
M, *
Mgh,
Msb;) and then applied to any beast upon which water is drawn: (
Msb:) [but it is disputed whether this be the primary or proper signification, or whether it be secondary or
tropical, as will be shown by what follows:] and also a man who draws water (A 'Obeyd,
T,
TA) for his family: (
TA:) the ة is affixed [لِلنَّقْلِ, i. e. for the purpose of transferring the word from the category of epithets to that of substantives; or] to give intensiveness to the signification: (
Msb:)
pl. رَوَايَا [by rule رَوَآءٍ, being originally of the measure فَوَاعِلُ, not فَعَائِلُ]. (
S,
M,
TA.) Also A مَزَادَة [or leathern water-bag] (A 'Obeyd,
T,
S,
M,
Mgh) composed of three skins, (
Mgh,) containing water; (
M,
K;) so called as being the receptacle in which is the water borne by the camel [thus called]; (A 'Obeyd,
T;) or the مزادة is thus termed by the vulgar, but this application of the word is allowable as
metaphorical: (
S:) or it signifies a pair of such water-bags (مَزَادَتَانِ [see مَزَادَةٌ in art. زيد]): (
T:) [
accord. to
ISd,] it is applied to the مزادة, and then to the camel, because of the nearness of the latter to the former: (
M:) or its primary application is to the camel: (
S,
Mgh:)
accord. to some, its application to the camel is proper; and to the مزادة,
tropical:
accord. to others, the reverse is the case: (
MF,
TA:) the
pl. is رَوَايَا, as above. (
Mgh,
TA.)
b2: One says of a weak person who is in easy circumstances, مَا يَرُدُّ الرَّاوِيَةَ, meaning He is unable to turn back the راوية [or camel bearing a water-bag or pair of water-bags,] notwithstanding its being heavily burdened by the water that is upon it. (
M.)
b3: And the Prophet applied the appellation رَوَايَا البِلَادِ [The camels bearing water for the irrigation of the countries, or the water-bags borne by camels for the irrigation of the countries,] to (assumed
tropical:) the clouds, by way of comparison. (
TA.)
b4: رَوَايَا is also applied as an appellation to (assumed
tropical:) The chiefs of a people; (
IAar,
Th,
T;) as
pl. of رَاوِيَةٌ; the chief who bears the burden of the bloodwits owed by the tribe being likened to the camel thus termed. (
T,
M. *) A Temeemee, mentioning a party that had attacked his tribe, said, لَقِينَاهُمْ فَقَتَلْنَا الرَّوَايَا وَ أَبَحْنَا الزَّوَايَا meaning [We encountered them, and] we slew the chiefs, and gave permission to occupy, or to plunder, the houses, or tents. (
T.)
b5: رَوَايَا also occurs in a
trad., in which it is said, شَرُّ الرَّوَايَا رَوَايَا الكَذِبِ, and
accord. to some, it is, in this instance,
pl. of رَاوِيَةٌ (
JM,
TA) in the first of the senses explained above; so that the meaning is, (assumed
tropical:) The worst of those who carry tidings are those who carry false tidings; such persons being likened to the beasts so called, in respect of the fatigue that they undergo: (
JM:) or it is
pl. of ↓ رَوِيَّةٌ; (
JM,
TA;) and the meaning is, the worst of thoughts are those that are untrue, not right, nor tending to good: or it is
pl. of ↓ رِوَايَةٌ; and the meaning is, the worst of relations, or recitals, are those that are untrue. (
JM.)
b6: See also رَاوٍ.
أَرْوَى: see the next paragraph, in two places.
أُرْوِيَّةٌ, (
T,
S,
M,
Msb,
K,) originally [أُرْوُويَةٌ,] of the measure أُفْعُوِلَةٌ, (
S,
M,
Msb,) and إِرْوِيَّةٌ, (
Lh,
M,
K,) The female of the وُعُول, (El-Ahmar, A 'Obeyd,
T,
S,
M,
Msb,
K,) which means mountain-goats: (
TA:) or the female and the male; the former of which is also called عَنْزٌ, and the latter وَعِلٌ; (
Az,
T,
Msb;) and which are of the [kind called] شَآءٌ; not of the [kind called] بَقَرٌ: (
Az,
T:)
pl. أَرَاوِىٌّ, (El-Ahmar, A 'Obeyd,
T,
S,
M,
Msb,
K,) of the measure أَفَاعِيلُ, (
S,) a
pl. of pauc.,
Msb,) applied to three (El-Ahmar, A 'Obeyd,
T,
S,
M,
K) and more, to ten [inclusive], (El-Ahmar, A 'Obeyd,
T,
M,
K,) and ↓ أَرْوَى, applied to many, (El-Ahmar, A 'Obeyd,
T,
S,
M,
Msb,
K,) of the measure أَفْعَلُ, (
S,
M,
Msb,) erroneously held by Abu-l-'Abbás to be of the measure فَعْلَى; (
M;) an irregular
pl.; (
Msb,
K;) or [rather] it is a
quasi-pl. n.; (
M,
K;) and أَرَوِىُّ is a
broken pl. (
M.) It is also a proper name of a woman: and so is ↓ أَرْوَى. (
S.) مُرْوٍ: see رِوًى
