(A.) IDrst says, in the Expos. of the Fs, that حَفَرَ, aor. ـِ inf. n. حَفْرَ فُوهُ, is trans.; and that the cause of حَفْر of the teeth, [or the agent of the verb حَفَرَ,] is old age, or the continuance of a yellow incrustation, [or tartar,] or some kind of canker that effects them: but that the verb in the phrase حَفِرَتْ سِنُّهُ, aor. ـَ inf. n. حَفَرٌ, is intrans. (MF.) [The truth probably is, that the former verb is both trans. and intrans., and hence حُفِرَتِ الأَسْنَانُ; and that the latter is intrans. only.] b4: And حَفِرَ, aor. ـَ (assumed tropical:) It was, or became, in a bad, corrupt, or unsound, state.

(TA.

يُحْفِرُ لِلْقٌرُوحِ [in the TA, تُحْفِر القُرُوح, which is an evident mistake,] meaning, he has his two corner nippers [in each jaw] in a wabbling, or loose, state: this is when he has completed five years: then the term إِبْدَآءٌ is applied to him as before described: then he is [also said to be]

(Msb.) b2: See also حَفِيرٌ.

حَفِيرٌ is of the measure فَعِيلٌ in the sense of the measure مَفْعُولٌ [meaning Dug, excavated, hollowed out, or cleared out, in the ground]. (TA.)

[such a thing]. (T.) The origin of the saying was this: horses were the most excellent (K) and precious (TA) of the things that they possessed; and they used not to sell them on credit: a man used to say the words above to another; meaning that its hoof should not remove until he received its price: (K:) and he who says عند الحافرة (since he makes الحافر to mean the beast, الدَّابَّة, itself, and since its use in this sense is frequent without the mention of ذَات [prefixed to it],) subjoins to it the sign [ة] of the fem. gender to show that ذَاتِ الحَافِرِ is meant by this name. (TA.) Or they used to say this on the occasion of racing and betting: and the meaning is, when the horse's hoof first falls upon the dug ground [at the goal]: (Abu-l-'Abbás, Az, K:) ↓ حَافِرَةٌ, (Abu-l-'Abbás,) or حَافِرٌ, (K,) signifying dug ground; (Abu-l- 'Abbás, K; *) ground that is dug by a horse's feet; (Har p. 653;) like as one says مَآءٌ دَافِقٌ, meaning مَدْفُوقٌ. (TA.) Lth says that the saying means, when thou buyest it, thou dost not quit thy place until thou payest ready money. (TA.) This was its origin: then it came to be so often said as to be used with reference to any priority. (K.) b6: [Thus,] ↓ حَافِرَةٌ signifies (tropical:) The original state or constitution of a thing; that wherein it was created: and the returning in a thing, so that the end thereof is brought back to its beginning. (K.) It is said in the Kur [lxxix. 10], أَئِنَّا

↓ لَمَرْدُودُونَ فِى الحَافِرَةِ, i. e., (tropical:) Shall we indeed be restored to our first state? (S:) i. e., to life? (Fr:) or to the present world, as we were: (IAar:) or to our first creation, after our death. (TA.) IAar cites the following verse: عَلَى صَلَعٍ وَشَيْبٍ أَحَافِرَةً

[I beg God to preserve me from lightwittedness and shameful conduct.] (S.) One says also, ↓ رَجَعَ إِلَى حَافِرَتِهِ, (A,) and حَافِرِهِ, (TA,) (tropical:) He became old and decrepit: (A, TA:) [as though he returned to his first state; or became in a state of second childishness.] And اِلْتَقَوْا فَاقْتَتَلُوا عِنْدَ

And ↓ فَعَلَ كَذَا عِنْدَ الحَافِرَةِ and الحَافِرِ (tropical:) He did so at the first, without delay. (TA.) And ↓ رَجَعَ عَلَى حَافِرَتِهِ (tropical:) He returned by the way by which he had come: (T, S:) or by which he had come forth. (K.) حَافِرَةٌ: see حَافِرٌ, in nine places.

طُرُقٌ مُحَفَّرَةٌ [app. Roads much furrowed by the feet of beasts or men: see حَجِيجٌ]. (L and K in art. حج.) مِحْفَارٌ: see مِحْفَرٌ.

مَحْفُورٌ [i. q. حَفِيرٌ as meaning Dug: see the latter.] b2: فَمُ فُلَانٍ مَحْفُورٌ [and أَسْنَانُهُ مَحْفُورَةٌ] (tropical:) The teeth of such a one are affected with what is termed حَفْرٌ or حَفَرٌ. (S, TA.) And صَبِىٌّ مَحْفُورٌ (assumed tropical:) A child having a pimple, or small pustule, in the gum. (El-Wá'ee.) فُلَانٌ أَرْوَغُ مِنْ يَرْبُوعٍ مُحَافِرٍ Such a one is more elusive than a jerboa that goes so deep into his hole that he cannot be dug out. (A, TA.)

(K.) You say, زَوَىَ عَنْهُ كَذَا, inf. n. زُوِىٌّ, He averted, diverted, or removed, from him such a thing; turned, put, or sent, it away, or back, from him.

(K.) b3: Also (K) زَوَاهُ, (S, Msb, K,) aor. as above, inf. n. زَىٌّ, (Msb, TA,) He drew it, collected it, or gathered it, together; contracted it, or grasped it. (S, Msb, K.) It is said in a trad., زُوِيَتْ لِىَ الأَرْضُ فَأْرِيتُ مَشَارِقَهَا وَمَغَارِبَهَا [The earth was collected together to me, and I was shown its eastern parts and its western parts]. (S, TA.)

And تَزْوِى الوُجُوهَ said of a cold north wind, It contracts [or wrinkles] the faces: a phrase used by Tarafeh Ibn-El-'Abd. (Ham p. 632.) 2 زوّى, inf. n. تَزْوِيَةٌ: see 5.

A2: زَيَّيْتُهُ, (S, Msb, K,) which by rule should be زَوَّيْتُهُ, (S, Msb,) but is made to accord with زِىٌّ in order to facilitate the pronunciation, (Msb,) inf. n. accord. to the K تَزْيِيَةٌ, but correctly, as Lth says, تَزِيَّةٌ, in measure like تَحِيَّةٌ, (TA,) I invested him with, or made him to have, a زِىّ [i. e. garb, guise, &c.]; (S, * Msb, K, * TA;) by means of, or with, such a thing: you say, زَيَّيْتُهُ بِكَذَا [which may be rendered I invested, decked, or adorned, him with such a thing; agreeably with what follows]. (Msb.) Accord. to Fr, they say, زَيَّيْتُ الجَارِيَةَ, meaning I invested the girl, or young woman, with a garb, or guise, &c.; and decked, or adorned, her. (TA.) b2: You say also, زوّى الكَلَامَ, meaning He prepared the speech in his mind; like زَوَّرَهُ. (TA.) A3: زَيَّيْتُ زَايًا and زَوَّيْتُ زَايًا [mean I wrote, or uttered, a ز]: some [hold the ا in زاى to be originally ى, and therefore] say زَيَّيْتُ: others [hold it to be originally و, and therefore] say زَوَّيْتُ.

Hence the saying of El-Mutanebbee, وَقَدْ يَتَزَيَّا بِالهَوَى غَيْرُ أَهْلِهِ وَيَسْتَصْحِبُ الإِنْسَانُ مَنْ لَا يُلَائِمُهْ (TA:) i. e. [And verily, or sometimes, or often, one who is not entitled to it] assumes the guise of love; and the man asks to be his companion him who is not suited to him: (W p. 374:) his disciple Ibn-Jinnee, however, objected to him his saying يتزيّا, and expressed his opinion that the correct word is يَتَزَوَّى; and El-Mutanebbee admitted that he did not know the former word in any [classical] poetry, nor in any lexicological book, but asserted the verb in use to be only تَزَيَّا: (MF, TA:) in the M it is said that IJ held تَزَيَّا to be originally تَزَوْيَا, and the و to be changed into ى because quiescent, and incorporated into the ى preceded by it.

زَا and زًا and زَآءٌ and see زَاىٌ, below.

زَىْ and زَىٌّ: see زَاىٌ, below.

زِىٌّ, (S, Msb, K, &c.,) originally زِوْىٌ, (S, Msb,) Garb, guise, dress, habit, fashion of dress, and aspect, or outward appearance; syn. لِبَاسٌ, (S, TA,) and هَيْئَةٌ, (Fr, Msb, K, TA,) and مَنْظَرٌ: (Fr, TA:) pl. أَزْيَآءٌ. (K.) [In the Kur xix. 75,] some read أَحْسَنُ أَثَاثًا وَزِيًّا [Better in respect of household-goods and in respect of garb, &c.]: others read رِيًّا, with ر: (TA:) and رِئْيًا: and رِيْئًا: and رِيًا. (Bd.) زَاىٌ, (Kr, S, K, &c.,) in which the ا, accord. to Lth, is originally ى, but accord. to Sb and IJ it is و, (TA,) A certain letter (i. e. ز); (S, TA;) [in spelling, pronounced زَاىْ; and] also called ↓ زَآءٌ, (Kr, S, K,) and ↓ زًا, and [in spelling (see the first sentence of art. ب)] ↓ زَا, (Kr, K, but omitted in some copies of the K,) this last being indecl., (Kr, TA,) and ↓ زَىٌّ (K) and [in spelling]

↓ زَىْ: (Kr, K:) of all which, the first is that which is held in [most] repute: (TA:) and this and زَآءٌ may be meant by J's saying, الزَّاىُ حَرْفٌ يُمَدُّ وَيُقْصَرُ وَلَا يُكْتَبُ إِلَّا بِيَآءٍ بَعْدَ الأَلِفِ; though the author of the K asserts J to have erred in saying this: (MF, TA:) the pl. is أَزْوَآءٌ and أَزْيَآءٌ, (Kudot;,) the former or the latter accord. to different opinions, (TA,) and أَزْوٍ and أَزْىٍ, (K,) each [originally] of the measure أَفْعُلٌ. (TA.) One says, هٰذِهِ زَاىٌ حَسَنَةٌ [This is a beautiful; ز]: and كَتَبْتُ زَايًا صَغِيرَةً [I wrote a small; ز]: and the like. (IJ, TA.) A2: زَاىْ is also said by the vulgar on an occasion of wonder, and of disapproval: but [SM says,] I know not what is its origin. (TA.) [It may be from the Pers\. زَىْ, or زِهِى; which are likewise said on an occasion of wonder. إِزَّاىْ and إِزَّىّ and إِزَّىْ, and with أَ in the place of إِ, are also said by the vulgar in Egypt on an occasion of wonder, and of denial, meaning How? And زَىْ is used by them for the prefix كَ, meaning Like.]

زُوَيَّةٌ: see what next follows.

زُيَيَّةٌ dim. of زَاىٌّ [accord. to those who hold the ا in the latter to be originally ى, or ↓ زُوَيَّةٌ accord. to those who hold that letter to be originally و; like أُيَيَّةٌ and أُوَيَّةٌ as dims. of آءٌ accord. to different opinions: see art. ا, in the middle of the first column]. (TA.) زَاوِيَةٌ A corner, or an angle, (رُكْن,) of a house or room or the like: (K:) of the measure فَاعِلَةٌ from زَوَى signifying جَمَعَ; because of its em-bracing (لِأَنَّهَا جَمَعَتْ) a part, or portion, (قُطْرًا,) thereof: (Msb, TA:) pl. زَوَايَا [which is irreg.; for by rule it should be زَوَآءٍ, being originally of the measure فَوَاعِلُ, not فَعَائِلُ]. (S, K.) They say, كَمْ فِى الزَّوَايَا مِنَ الخَبَايَا [How many hidden things are there in the corners!]. (TA.) b2: [In geometry, An angle. b3: And hence, زَاوِيَةُ العَوَّآءِ The star γ of Virgo; العَوَّآءُ being composed of four stars, γ,δ,ε and η of Virgo, disposed nearly in the form of a capital L, with ε, δ, γ from top to bottom and η to the right. ] b4: In a saying cited voce رَاوِيَةٌ, the pl. زَوَايَا is used as meaning Houses, or tents. (T in art. روى.) b5: [And in the present day, the term زَاوِيَةٌ is also applied to A small mosque, or chapel: and in some instances, a building of this kind, thus called, serves as a hospice, or an asylum for poor Muslims, students and others; like رِبَاطٌ.]
