K,
TA.) You say also, بِلَادٌ حِشُونَ Countries, or regions, desolate, deserted, &c.; after the manner of سِنُونَ; and in the accus. and gen., حِشِينَ:
pl., as
Az says, of ↓ حِشَةٌ, originally وَحْشٌ, [So I read instead of وَحْشَة, which is evidently a mistranscription,] the و being wanting, as it is in زِنَةٌ and صِلَةٌ and عِدَةٌ. (
TA.) You also say, لَقِيتُهُ بِوَحْشِ إِصْمِتَ, (
S,
K,) and إِصْمِتَةَ, (

sing. and a
pl., but is here meant to be understood collectively, as appears from what follows,]) of the desert, (
S,
A,
K,
TA,) such as are not tame; (
TA;) [i. e. wild animals;] of the
fem. gender; (
TA;) as also وُحُوشٌ (
S) and ↓ وَحِيشٌ: (
K:) these three words are all used in a collective sense: (
ISh:) and ↓ وَحْشِىٌّ signifies a single one of such animals; (
S,
K;) like زَنْجِىٌّ in relation to زَنْجٌ, and رُومِىٌّ to رُومٌ: (
TA:) or وَحْشٌ signifies such as is not tame, of beasts of the desert; and everything that is afraid of human beings (كُلُّ شَىْءٍ يَسْتَوْحِشُ عَنِ النَّاسِ); as also ↓ وَحْشِىٌّ, as though the ى were a
corroborative, as in دوَّارِىٌّ: or,
accord. to El-
Fárábee, وَحْشٌ in the
pl. [lexicologically, but not in the language of the grammarians] of ↓ وَحْشِىٌّ, like as رُومٌ is of رُومِىٌّ: (
Msb:) or it is used as a
sing., as well as collectively; for you say, هٰذَا وَحْشٌ ضَخْمٌ [this is a bulky wild animal], and هٰذِهِ شَاةٌ وَحْشٌ [this is a wild sheep or goat, &c.]: (
ISh:) وُحُوشٌ is a
pl. of وَحْشٌ, (
Msb,
K,) and so is وُحْشَانٌ, (
Sgh,
K,) and so is وَحِيشٌ, [lexicologically, but grammarians term it a
quasi-pl. n.,] like as ضَئِينٌ is of ضَأْنٌ: (
Sgh,
TA:) or وُحُوشٌ is its only
broken pl. (
TA.)
b3: [Hence also, Wild, or shy; applied to girls or women: see an
ex. of the word in this sense
voce تَوٌّ, where it has a redundant ن affixed to it.]
b4: [Hence also] Lone; solitary; without company. You say. مَشَى فِى الأَرْضِ وَحْشًا He walked, or went, in the land alone, having no other with him. (
TA.)
b5: [Hence also] Hungry; (
S,
A,
K;) as also ↓ مُوحِشٌ, (
Az,
A,) and ↓ مُتَوَحِّشٌ, (
A,) and ↓ وَحِشٌ: (
TA:)
pl. of the first, أَوْحَاشٌ (
S,
A,
K) [and وَحْشُونَ]. You say, بَاتَ فُلَانٌ وَحْشًا, (
S,
A, *
K, *) and مُوحِشًا, and مُتَوَحِّشًا, (
A,) Such a one passed the night hungry, (
S,
A,
K,) not having eaten anything, so that his inside was empty. (
TA.) And بِتْنَا وَحْشِينَ We passed the night without food. (
TA.) [In another place in the
TA, we find لَقَدْ بِتْنَا لَيْلَتَنَا هٰذِهِ وَحْشِى, and so in the
L; the last word being evidently a mistranscription, for وَحْشِينَ: and it is added, as though the speaker meant, جَمَاعَةَ وَحْشَى; doubtless a mistake for جَمَاعَةَ وَحْشٍ so that the saying seems to mean, We have passed this our night like a company of wild animals.]
وَحِشٌ: see وَحْشٌ, last signification.
وَحْشَةٌ Loneliness; solitude; lonesomeness; solitariness; desolateness;

contr. of أُنْسٌ. (

q. v.] You say, تَرَكْتُهُ فِى وَحْشَةٍ I left him in loneliness, or solitude. (
