زوج
2 زوّج شَيْئًا بِشَىْءٍ, and
زوّجــهُ إِلَيْهِ, [
inf. n. تَزْوِيجٌ,] He coupled, or paired, a thing with a thing; united it to it as its fellow, or like. (
TA.) So in the
Kur [xliv. 54 and lii. 20],
زَوَّجْــنَاهُمْ بِحُورٍ عِينٍ
We will couple them, or pair them, [with females having eyes like those of gazelles:] (
S,
Mgh,
K,
TA:) the meaning is not the تَزْوِيج commonly known, [i. e. marriage,] for there will be no [such] تزويج in Paradise. (
MF,
TA.) And so in the
Kur [lxxxi. 7], وَإِذَا النُّفُوسُ
زُوِّجَــتْ and when the souls shall be coupled, or paired, or united with their fellows: (
TA:) i. e., with their bodies: (
Bd,
Jel:) or, each with its register: (
Bd:) or with its works: (
Bd,
TA:) or the souls of the believers with the حُور, and those of the unbelievers with the devils: (
Bd:) or when each sect, or party, shall be united with those whom it has followed. (
TA.) And so in the phrase,
زَوَّجْــتُ إِبِلِى I coupled, or paired, my camels, one with another: (
A:) or
زَوَّجْــتُ بَيْنَ الإِبِلِ I coupled, or paired, every one of the camels with another. (
TA.) So too in the
Kur [xlii. 49], أَوْ يُـ
ـزَوِّجُــهُمْ ذُكْرَانًا وَإِنَاثًا Or He maketh them couples, or pairs, males and females: or,
accord. to
AM, maketh them of different sorts [or sexes], males and females: for
b2: تَزْوِيجٌ signifies [also] The making to be of different sorts or species [&c.]. (
TA.)
b3: زَوَّجْــتُهُ امْرَأَةً, (
T,
S,
A, *
Mgh,
Msb,
K,) thus the Arabs say
accord. to
Yoo (
S,
Mgh) and ISK, (
Mgh,) making the verb doubly
trans. by itself, [without a
particle,] meaning I married him, or gave him in marriage, to a woman; (
Msb,
TA;) as also بِامْرَأَةٍ; (
A,
K;)
Akh says that this is allowable [
app. as being of the
dial. of Azd-Shanooäh (see 5)]: (
Msb,
TA:) [when the verb is
trans. by means of بِ, it generally has the meaning
expl. in the first sentence of this art.:]
زَوَّجْــتُ مِنْهُ امْرَأَةً is not of the language of the Arabs: (
T,
Mgh,
TA:) [but see a similar phrase in a verse cited in art. حصن,
conj. 4:] the lawyers say,
زَوَّجْــتُهُ مِنْهَا [meaning I married him to her]; but this is a phrase for which there is no reasonable way of accounting, unless that it is
accord. to the opinion of those who hold that مِنْ may be redundant in an affirmative proposition, or that of those who hold that it may be substituted for بِ. (
Msb.) 3 زاوجهُ, [
inf. n. مُزَاوَجَةٌ and زِوَاجٌ] It, or he, was, or became, a couple, or pair, with it, or him: or made a coupling, or pairing, with it, or him. (
MA.) [And زَاوَجَا They two formed together a couple, or pair.]
b2: [And زاوجا,
inf. n. as above, They married each other.] You say, هُذَيْلٌ يُزَاوِجُ عِكْرِمَةَ [The tribe of Hudheyl intermarry with that of 'Ikrimeh]. (A. [See also 6.])
b3: زاوج بَيْنَهُمَا and ↓ ا
زوج (
tropical:) [He made them two (referring to sentences or phrases) to have a mutual resemblance in their prose-rhymes, or in measure: or to be connected, each with the other; or dependent, each on the other]. (
A,
TA.) See also 8, in three places.

5 تَـ
ـزَوَّجْــتُ امْرَأَةً, (
T,
S,
A, *
Mgh,
Msb,
K,) thus the Arabs say
accord. to
Yoo (
S,
Mgh) and ISK, (
Mgh,) meaning I married a woman; i. e., took a woman in marriage; took her as my wife; (
Msb,
TA;) as also بِامْرَأَةٍ; (
A, *
K;) or this is rare; (
K;)
Akh says that it is allowable; (
Msb,
TA;) and it is said to be of the
dial. of AzdShanooäh, (
S,
Mgh,
Msb,
TA,) by
Fr; (
S,
TA;) but
accord. to
Yoo (
S,
Mgh) and ISK, (
Mgh,) it is not of the language of the Arabs. (
T,
S,
Mgh.) And تـ
ـزوّج فِى بَنِى فُلَانٍ (
A,
Msb,
TA) He married, or took a wife, among the sons of such a one. (
Msb,
TA.) And تـ
ـزوّج إِلَيْهِ
i. q. خَاتَنَهُ [He allied himself to him by marriage]. (
K in art. ختن.)
b2: [Hence,] تـ
ـزوّجــهُ النَّوْمُ (assumed
tropical:) Sleep pervaded him;
syn. خَالَطَهُ. (
K.) 6 تزاوج القَوْمُ and ↓ اِزْدَوَجُوا The people, or party, married one another; intermarried. (
TA. [See also 3.])
b2: See also the next paragraph, in three places.
8 اِزْدَوَجَتِ الطَّيْرُ [The birds coupled, or paired, one with another]. (
TA.)
b2: See also 6.
b3: اِزْدَوَجَا and ↓ تَزَاوَجَا [and ↓ زَاوَجَا], said of two phrases, or sentences, (
A,
TA,) (
tropical:) They bore a mutual resemblance in their prose-rhymes, or in measure: or were connected, each with the other; or dependent, each on the other: and in like manner, ازدوج and ↓ تزاوج, said of a phrase, or sentence, (
tropical:) It was such that one part of it resembled another in the prose-rhyme, or in the measure: or consisted of two propositions connected, each with the other; or dependent, each on the other: (
TA:) اِزْدِوَاجٌ and ↓ مُزَاوَجَةٌ (
S,
A,
K) and ↓ تَزَاوُجٌ (
S) are
syn.: (
S,
A, *
K:) ازدواج signifies A conformity, or mutual resemblance, [with respect to sound, or measure,] of two words occurring near together; as in the phrase مِنْ سَبَأٍ بِنَبَأٍ
[in the
Kur xxvii. 22]: (
Kull p. 31:) and this is also termed ↓ مُزَاوَجَةٌ and مُحَاذَاةٌ and مُوَازَنَةٌ and مُقَابَلَةٌ and مُؤَازَاةٌ. (Marginal note in a copy of the Muzhir, 22nd نوع.) زَاجٌ [Vitriol;] a well-known kind of salt; (
K,
TA;) called شَبٌّ يَمَانِىٌّ; [but see شَبٌّ;] which is a medicinal substance, and one of the ingredients of ink: (
Lth,
TA:) [
pl. زَاجَاتٌ, meaning species, or sorts, of vitriol; namely, green, or sulphate of iron, which is an ingredient in ink, and is generally meant by the term زاج when unrestricted by an
epithet; blue, or sulphate of copper; and white, or sulphate of zinc:] it is a
Pers\. word, (
S,) arabicized, (
S,
K,) originally زاگ. (
TA.)
زَوْجٌ primarily signifies A sort of thing of any kind [that is one of a pair or couple]: and
زَوْجَــانِ signifies a pair, or couple, i. e. any two things paired or coupled together, whether they be likes or contraries:
زَوْجٌ signifying either one of such two things: (
Az,
TA:) or,
accord. to 'Alee Ibn-'Eesà, a sort of thing [absolutely]: (
Mgh:) or a sort of thing having its like, (El-Ghooree,
Mgh,
Msb,) as in the case of species; (
Msb;) or having its contrary, (El-Ghooree,
Mgh,
Msb,) as the moist and the dry, and the male and the female, and the night and the day, and the bitter and the sweet; (
Msb;) though sometimes applied to any sort of thing; and to a single thing: (El-Ghooree,
Mgh:) or it is applied to a single thing only when having with it a thing of the same kind; (
Mgh,
Msb;)
زَوْجَــانِ signifying a pair, or couple, of such things: (
Mgh:) the
pl. is أَزْوَاجِ: (
TA:) you say
زَوْجَــانِ مِنْ حَمَامٍ and
زَوْجَــا حَمَامٍ [A pair of pigeons]: (
A:) and اِشْتَرَيْتُ
زَوْجَــى حَمَامٍ [I bought a pair of pigeons], meaning a male and a female: (
S:) and
زَوْجَــا نِعَالٍ [A pair of sandals]: (
S, A:) and in like manner
زَوْجَــيْنِ is used in the
Kur xi. 42 and xxiii. 28; (
S;) meaning a male and a female: (
Bd,
Jel:) or,
accord. to the
M,
زَوْجٌ signifies one of a pair or couple: and also a pair or couple together: (
TA:) and in like manner says
AO, (
Mgh,
Msb,) and
IKt, and
IF: (
Msb:) and
ISh says that it signifies two; (
Mgh;) and so says
IDrd: (
Msb:) so that you say, هُمَا
زَوْجٌ as well as هُمَا
زَوْجَــانِ [meaning They two are a pair, or couple]; (
S,
K,
TA;) like as you say, هُمَا سَوَآءٌ and هُمَا سِيَّانِ: (
S,
TA:) and عِنْدِى
زَوْجُ نِعَالٍ, meaning [I have] two [sandals]; and
زَوْجَــانِ, meaning four: (
Msb:) or
زَوْجُ حَمَامٍ as meaning a male and a female [of pigeons] is a phrase which should not be used; one to which the vulgar are addicted: (
TA:)
IAmb says, the vulgar are wrong in thinking that
زَوْجٌ signifies two; for the Arabs used not to employ such a phrase as
زَوْجُ حَمَامٍ, but used to say
زَوْجَــانِ مِنَ الحَمَامِ, (
Mgh,
Msb,
TA,) meaning a male and a female; (
TA;) and
زَوْجَــانِ مِنَ الخِفَافِ, (
Mgh,
Msb,
TA,) meaning the right and the left [of boots]: (
TA:) nor did they apply the term
زَوْجٌ to one of birds, like as they applied the dual,
زَوْجَــانِ, to two; but they applied the term فَرْدٌ to the male, and فَرْدَةٌ to the female: (
Mgh,
Msb:) Es-Sijistánee, also, says that the term
زَوْجٌ should not be applied to two, neither of birds nor of other things, for this is a usage of the ignorant; but to every two,
زَوْجَــانِ: (
Msb:)
Az says that the grammarians disapprove the saying of
ISh that
زَوْجٌ signifies two of any things, (
Mgh, *
TA,) and that
زَوْجَــانِ مِنْ خِفَافٍ signifies [Two pairs of boots, or] four [boots]; for
زَوْجٌ with them signifies one [of a pair or couple]: a man and his wife [together] are termed
زَوْجَــانِ: and ثَمَانِيَةَ أَزْوَاجٍ in the
Kur [vi. 144 and xxxix. 8] means Eight ones [of pairs or couples]: the primary meaning of
زَوْجٌ being that first mentioned in this paragraph; (
TA:) in the
Kur xxii. 5 and 1. 7 [it seems to be implied that it means pair or couple; but more probably in these instances] it means sort, or species: (
Bd,
Jel:) it is also
expl. by the word لَوْنٌ [used in this last sense]: (
T,
TA;) in the
Kur xxxviii. 58, its
pl. أَزْوَاجٌ means أَلْوَانٌ and أَنْوَاعٌ [i. e. sorts, or species] of punishment:
F explains the
sing. as meaning لَوْنٌ مِنَ الدِّيبَاجِ وَنَحْوِهِ [a sort, or species, of silk brocade and the like]; but his restricting the signification by the words من الديباج ونحوه is not right, as is shown by a citation, in the
T, of a verse of El-Aashà, in which he uses the phrase كُلُّ
زَوْجٍ مِنَ الدِّيبَاجِ [every sort, or species, of silk brocade], as an
ex. of
زوج in the sense of لون. (
TA.)
b2: [Hence,] A woman's husband: and a man's wife: in which latter sense ↓
زَوْجَــةٌ is also used; (
S,
M,
A,
Mgh, *
Msb,
K; *) as in a verse of El-Farezdak cited in art بول,
conj. 10; (
S,
Mgh;) but it is disallowed by
As; (
TA;) and the former word is the one of high authority, (
Mgh,
Msb,) and is that which occurs in the
Kur, in ii. 33 and vii. 18, (
S,
Mgh,
Msb,
TA,) and in iv. 24, (
Mgh,
TA,) and in xxxiii. 37: (
Mgh:)
AHát says that the people of Nejd call a wife ↓
زَوْجَــةٌ, and that the people of the Haram use this word: but
ISk says that the people of El-Hijáz call a wife
زَوْجٌ; and the rest of the Arabs, ↓
زَوْجَــةٌ: the lawyers use this latter word only, as applied to a wife, for the sake of perspicuity, fearing to confound the male with the female: (
Msb:) the
pl. of
زَوْجٌ is أَزْوَاجٌ (
Msb,
K *) and
زِوَجَــةٌ; (
K;) and the
pl. of ↓
زَوْجَــةٌ is
زَوْجَــاتٌ (
A,
Mgh,
Msb) and أَزْوَاجٌ also; (
A,
Msb;) and أَزَاوِيجُ occurs [as a
pl. pl., i. e.
pl. of أَزْوَاجُ,] in a verse cited by
ISk. (
TA in art. نأج.)
b3: [Hence also,] A consociate, an associate, or a comrade: (
A:) its
pl. in this sense is أَزْوَاجٌ, (
S,
A,
K,) occurring in the
Kur xxxvii. 22. (
S, A.)
b4: And A fellow, or like:
pl. أَزْوَاجٌ: in this sense, each one of a pair of boots is the
زوج of the other; and the husband is the
زوج of the wife; and the wife, the
زوج of the husband. (
TA.) You say, عِنْدِى مِنْ هٰذَا أَزْوَاجٌ I have, of this, fellows, or likes. (
TA.)
b5: As used by arithmeticians, (
Mgh,
Msb,)
contr. of فَرْدٌ; (
S,
Mgh,
Msb,
K;) i. e. it signifies An even number; a number that may be divided into two equal numbers; (
Msb;) as, for instance, four, and eight, as opposed to three, and seven: (
Mgh:)
pl. أَزْوَاجٌ. (
S,
Mgh.) One says
زَوْجٌ أَوْ فَرْدٌ [Even or odd?], like as one says خَسًا أَوْ زَكًا [or rather زَكًا أَوْ خَسًا] and شَفْعٌ أَوْ وِتْرٌ. (
S,
Mgh.)
b6: Also A [kind of cloth such as is termed] نَمَط [
q. v.]: or silk brocade;
syn. دِيبَاجٌ: (
TA:) or a نَمَط that is thrown over the [kind of vehicle called]
هَوْدَج. (
S,
K,
TA.) زِيجٌ: see art. زيج.
زَوْجَــةٌ: see
زَوْجٌ, in four places, in the latter half of the paragraph.
زَوْجِــيَّةٌ and ↓ زَوَاجٌ [The marriage-state, or simply marriage]: the latter is a
subst. from
زَوَّجَ, [i. e. a quasi-
inf. n.,] like سَلَامٌ from سَلَّمَ, and كَلَامٌ from كَلَّمَ. (
Msb.) You say, بَيْنَهُمَا حَقُّ الـ
ـزَّوْجِــيَّةِ and ↓ الزَّوَاجِ [Between them two is the right of the marriage-state, or of marriage]: (
A,
Msb:) and الزِّوَاجِ is also allowable as [an
inf. n. of 3,] coordinate to المُزَاوَجَة. (
Msb.) زَوَاجٌ: see the next preceding paragraph, in two places.
زَائِجَةٌ: see art زيج.
مِزْوَاجٌ A woman who marries often: (
S,
K:) one who has had many husbands. (
K.)
