Har p. 139:)
accord. to El-
Harállee, زِينَةٌ denotes the [means of] beautifying, or embellishing, a thing by another thing; consisting of apparel, or an ornament of gold or silver or of jewels or gems, or aspect: or, as some say, it is the beauty [seen] of the eye that does not reach to the interior of that which is adorned [thereby]:
accord. to
Er-Rághib, its proper mean-ing is a thing that does not disgrace, or render unseemly, a man, in any of his states or conditions, either in the present world or in that which is to come: but that which adorns him in one state or condition, exclusively of another, is in one point of view شَيْنٌ: summarily speaking, it is of three kinds; namely, mental, such as knowledge or science, and good tenets; and bodily, such as strength, and tallness of stature, and beauty of aspect; and extrinsic, such as wealth, and rank or station or dignity; and all these are mentioned in the
Kur: (
TA:) the
pl. is زِيَنٌ. (

Káhireh, which we call “ Cairo ”], (
K,
TA,) i. e. the canal which runs through the midst of Misr, and [the dam of] which is broken when the Nile has attained the height of sixteen cubits or more: this day is said to be meant in the
Kur xx. 61: it is one of the days observed in Egypt with the greatest gladness and rejoicing from ancient times; and its observance in the days of the
Fátimees was such as is inconceivable, as it is described in the “ Khitat ” of El-Makreezee. (
TA. [The modern observances of this day, and of other days in relation to the rise of the Nile, are described in my work on the Modern Egyptians.]) قَمَرٌ زَيَانٌ A beautiful moon. (

TA:) the second and third are part. ns. of اِزْدَانَ; the third being formed from the second by incorporation [of the د into the ز]: and the
dim. of مُزْدَانٌ is ↓ مُزَيِّنٌ, like مُخَيِّرٌ the
dim. of مُخْتَارٌ; and if you substitute [for the د], ↓ مُزَيِّينٌ: and in like manner in forming the
pl. you say مَزَايِنُ and مَزَايِينُ. (
S.) You say, أَنَا بِإِعْلَامِكَ ↓ مُزَّانٌ and ↓ مُزْدَانٌ, meaning مُتَزَيِّنٌ بِإِعْلَامِ أَمْرِكَ [i. e. I am graced by the making known of thy command, or affair]. (
