[or quasi-pl. n.] of سَرِىٌّ: (IAth, TA:) the pl. of سَرِيَّةٌ is سَرِيَّاتٌ and سَرَايَا. (M, K.) Also Chosen, or choice, or select: (M:) what is good of anything; pl. [or quasi-pl. n.] سَرَاةٌ: (Ham p. 337:) the best, (Msb, TA, and Har p. 56,) and in like manner سَرَاةٌ [as a pl.]; (M, Msb, TA, and Ham p. 57, and Har ubi suprà;) the former, of men, (Har ubi suprà,) and of camels; (S;) and the latter, of men, (S, TA, and Ham ubi suprà, and Har,) and of cattle or camels and the like, (S, M, TA,) as also the former. (TA.) A2: See also art. سرى.

سُرِّيَّةٌ, said by some to be originally of the measure فُعُّولَةٌ, from سَرْوٌ: see art. سر.

أَسْرَى is of the measure أَفْعَلُ [denoting the comparative and superlative degrees] from السَّرْوُ signifying “ liberality, bountifulness, munificence, or generosity, combined with manliness, or manly virtue: ” [&c.:] whence the phrase أَسْرَاهُمْ سُودَدًا, meaning The best of them in respect of chiefdom or the like: or it may be from السُّرَى; meaning in this instance that the fame of the chiefdom, or the like, of him to whom it relates has pervaded the countries and spread among mankind; and this is more worthy of regard in respect of the method of grammatical analysis; from Mtr: (Har p. 363: [see art. سرى:]) [ISd, however, assigns the word to the present art.:] see 5, last sentence.

أَرْضٌ مَسْرُوَّةٌ A land containing the سِرْوَة, or locust in its first state, when it is a larva. (S.) [In a copy of the M, it is said to be from السَّرْوَةُ; and the context there indicates the meaning to be A land infested by a worm of the kind termed سَرْوٌ, of which سَرْوَةٌ is the n. un.: but probably السَّرْوَةُ, in this instance, is a mistranscription for السِّرْوَةُ, which is mentioned immediately after as meaning “ the locust in its first state of growth, when it comes forth from its egg. ”]

مَسْرَوَانٌ; and its fem., with ة: see سَرِىٌّ.

سَتَهِىٌّ Of, or relating to, the اِسْت; and in the same sense, if you will, you may say ↓ اِسْتِىٌّ; and ↓ سَتِهٌ also, with kesr to the ت, like as they said حَرِحٌ. (S.) سُتْهُمٌ: see أَسْتَهُ, in three places.

سُتَيْهَةٌ dim. of اِسْتٌ, from the original of the latter, i. e. سَتَهٌ. (TA.) سُتَاهِىٌّ: see أَسْتَهُ, in two places.

(IB, TA.) اِسْتٌ (S, Mgh, K, written with the conjunctive hemzeh, Msb in art. است) and ↓ سَتَهٌ (S Mgh, K) and ↓ سَتْهٌ (K) and ↓ سِتْهٌ (CK [but not in my MS. copy of the K nor in the TA, and of doubtful authority, as will be seen from what follows,]) signify the same, (S, * Mgh, * K,) i. e. The podex, buttock or buttocks, posteriors, rump, or croup; and sometimes the anus; (S;) ↓ سَتَهٌ being the original form, as is shown by the pl., (S, Mgh,) which is أَسْتَاهٌ; (S, Mgh, K;) like جَمَلٌ and أَجْمَالٌ: it may not be [↓ سِتْهٌ and ↓ سُتْهٌ] like جِذْعٌ and قُفْلٌ, of which the pls. are also of the measure أَفْعَالٌ, because, when you restore the ء which is the final radical, and reject the medial radical [which is ت], you say سَهٌ, with fet-h, (S, Mgh, *) which has both of the meanings expl. above, as also سُهٌ, (K,) but [SM says,] this last, mentioned by the author of the K, is strange, and I have not seen it on the authority of any one [else]: (TA:) and some say سَتٌ, (IKh, S, Mgh, TA,) suppressing the final radical [of سَتَهٌ], (S,) i. e., without ه at the end and without hemzeh [or ا] at the beginning. (TA.) [All are of the fem. gender.] It is said in a trad., العَيْنُ وِكَآءُ السَّهِ, or, as some relate it, السَّتِ, (S, Mgh, TA,) [The eye is the tie of the anus,] meaning that when one [closes the eye and] sleeps, the tie of the سَه becomes loosed, and the excrement and wind issue. (TA.) And أَبُو الأَسْتَاهِ means He who has large posteriors. (Az, TA.) بِاسْتِ فُلَانٍ is a phrase of the Arabs significant of reviling; (S;) said when holding one in contempt; meaning لَصِقَ العَارُ بِاسْتِ فُلَانٍ (assumed tropical:) [May disgrace cleave to the است of such a one]. (Mgh.) And يَا ابْنَ اسْتِهَا (tropical:) [O son of her است], (K, TA,) a prov. of the Arabs, (TA,) is an allusion to one's father's إِحْمَاض [see 2 in art. حمض] of the former's mother; (Z, TA;) and is said to mean أَنَّهُ وُلِدَ مِنِ اسْتِهَا: (TA:) and the Arabs called the sons of the female slave بَنُو اسْتِهَا. (Sh, TA.) And one says to a man who is deemed abject and weak, اِسْتُ أُمِّكَ أَضْيَقُ [lit. Thy mother's است is too contracted], and اِسْتُكَ أَضْيَقُ مِنْ أَنْ تَفْعَلَ كَذَا وَ كَذَا [Thine است is too contracted, meaning (assumed tropical:) thine ability is too small, for thy doing such and such things]: (TA: [see also Freytag's Arab.

مَكَانُ القُرَادِ مِنِ اسْتِ الجَمَلْ (tropical:) [And thou, thy place in the tribe of Wáïl is like the place of the tick in the rump of the camel,] is tropical; for they do not [properly] say اِسْتُ الجَمَلِ, but عَجُزُ الجَمَلِ. (S.) One says also to a man who is deemed low, or base, أَنْتَ الاِسْتُ السُّفْلَى, (TA,) and انت السبَّهُ السُّفْلَى, meaning (assumed tropical:) Thou art among others in the condition of the است of mankind: (S, TA:) and of low, or base, men, one says, هٰؤُلَآءِ الأَسْتَاهُ; and of such as are excellent, هٰؤُلَآءِ الأَعْيَانُ, and الوُجُوهُ. (TA.) And one says, لَقِيتُ مِنْهُ اسْتَ الكَلْبَةِ, (A, K,) a prov., (TA,) meaning (assumed tropical:) I experienced from him, or it, what I disliked, or hated. (A, K, TA. [See also Freytag's Arab.

(TA.) ↓ أَرْفَؤُوا

إِلَى جَزِيرَةٍ occurs in a trad. [as meaning They brought the ship near to an island]: and some say أَرْفَيْتُ for أَرْفَأْتُ; which latter is the original.

(K.) 4 ارفأ He, or it, drew near, or approached. (K.) You say, ارفأتِ السَّفِينَةُ The ship drew near, or approached, (T, TA,) to the land, (T,) or to the part of the land that was near, or to the bank of a river.

(ISk, T, S.) Such are said to be the meanings in the saying, بِالرِّفَآءِ وَالبَنِينَ; (ISk, T, S, M, Msb, K; [see 2;]) i. e.

(Msb.) It is said, in a trad., that the Prophet forbade the use of this phrase, disliking it because it was a customary form of congratulation in the Time of Ignorance: (T, * TA:) and some relate that he used to say, in its stead, بَارَكَ اللّٰهُ عَلَيْكَ and بَارَكَ فِيكَ [May God bless thee], and جَمَعَ بَيْنَكُمَا فِى خَيْرٍ [may He unite you two in prosperity].

(TA.) You say, عَنَا لَهُ He was, or became, lowly, humble, or submissive, to him; or obedient to him. (MA.) And hence the saying in the Kur [xx. 110], وَعَنَتِ الْوَجُوهُ لِلْحَىِّ القَيُّومِ (S, TA) And the countenances shall be lowly &c. [to the Deathless, or Ever-living, the Self-subsisting by Whom all things subsist: or shall be downcast; like the Hebr. phrases ending verses 5 and 6 in Gen. iv.]: or shall be submissive like captives: or the meaning is [shall be depressed by] the depressing of the forehead and the knee [or rather knees] and the hands in the lowering of the head and the prostrating oneself [in prayer]: or [عَنَت is here from عَنَى, belonging to art. عنى, and الوجوه is used by a synecdoche for the persons (as being the most noble of all the parts thereof), and the meaning is] shall suffer fatigue, or weariness, and shall toil.

(TA.) Hence the trad., الخَالُ وَارِثُ مَنْ لَا وَارِثَ لَهُ يَفُكُّ عُنِيَّهُ i. e. أَسْرَهُ [The maternal uncle is the heir of him who has no more nearlyallied heir: he shall loose his (the latter's) captivity]: meaning [he shall acquit him of] what is incumbent on him, and clings to him, because of the actions that require punishment or retaliation, the way [or custom] of which is that the عَاقِلَة [q. v., of whom he is a member,] bear the responsibility for them.

A2: And عَنَا, aor. ـْ inf. n. عَنْوَةٌ, He took a thing by force: b2: and also he took it peaceably, or by surrender: thus having two contr. significations. (Msb.)

A3: عَنَوْتُ الشَّىْءَ I put forth, or produced, the thing: and I made the thing apparent, or showed it: (S:) or it has the latter signification; (K;) as also عَنَيْتُ الشَّىْءَ: (IKtt, TA in art. عنى:) and عَنَوْتُ بِالشَّىْءِ has the former signification. (K.) And ↓ عَنْوَةٌ is the subst. of the verb thus used, (K, TA,) i. e. in these two senses, as well as in others mentioned above. (TA.) And one says, عَنَتِ الأَرْضُ بِالنَّبَاتِ, (ISk, S, and K in this art. and in art. عنى,) aor. ـْ inf. n. عُنُوٌّ; (ISk, S;) and aor. ـْ (Ks, S;) The land made apparent, or showed, [or put forth, or produced,] its plants, or herbage; (S, K;) as also ↓ أَعْنَتْهُ. (K.) And لَمْ تَعْنُ بِلَادُنَا بِشَىْءٍ and لَمْ تَعْنِ Our country did not give growth to anything. (S.) And الأَرْضُ شَيْئًا ↓ مَا أَعْنَتِ The land did not give growth, or has not given growth, to anything. (S.) b2: And [hence, app.,] سَأَلْتُهُ فَلَمْ يَعْنُ لِى بِشَىْءٍ I asked him, and he did not (لَمْ يَنْدَ and لَمْ يَبِضَّ) to me, or for me, anything. (TA.)

[See also 4.] b2: and تَعْنِيَةٌ is said to signify Any long confining or restraining: in a trad. of 'Alee, respecting the day of Siffeen, he is related to have said, اِسْتَشْعِرُوا الحَشْيَةَ وَعَنُّوا بِالأَصْوَاتِ i. e. [Make ye fear, or awe, (app. of God,) to be the thing next your hearts,] and restrain, and suppress, the voices; as though he forbade their raising a confused and unintelligible clamour. (TA.) A2: عَنَّيْتُ البَعِيرَ, (S,) inf. n. as above, (S, K,) I smeared the camel with عَنِيَّة [q. v.]. (S, K.) [Hence تَعْنِيَةٌ as a subst., expl. below.]

(S, * IKtt, TA.) b3: And اعنى الرَّجُلُ The man found, or lighted on, land that had produced herbage such as is termed عُشْب, [for قد اعشرت (to which I cannot assign any apposite meaning) in my original, I read قَدْ أَعْشَبَتْ], and of which the pasturage had become abundant. (TA.) A3: See also Q. Q. 1.5 تعنّى He [a camel] was, or became, smeared with عَنِيَّة [q. v.]: whence the saying of EshShaabee, لَأَنْ أَتَعَنَّى بِعَنِيَّةٍ أَحَبُّ إِلَىَّ مِنْ أَنْ أَقُولَ فِى مَسْأَلَةٍ بِرَأْيِى [Verily my being smeared with عَنِيَّة would be more approvable to me than my saying respecting a question according to my opinion].

(TA.) b2: Also Love, or affection: (ISd, K, TA:) or submission, and concession: or a consequence of submission and concession, on the part of him from whom a thing is taken: (TA:) or the taking peaceably, or by surrender; as inf. n. of عَنَا [q. v.]: (Msb:) thus it has two contr. significations. (Msb, K, TA.) A poet (cited by Fr, TA) says, فَمَا أَخَذُوهَا عَنْوَةً عَنْ مَوَدَّةٍ

وَلٰكِنَّ ضَرْبَ المَشْرَفِىِّ اسْتَقَالَهَا (Msb, TA;) which is said to mean, [And they did not take it, or her, or them,] by concession, and obedience, [arising from love, or affection,] without fighting: [but the smiting of the Mesh-rafee sword demanded the renouncing thereof:] 'Abd-El-Kádir Ibn-'Amr El-Baghdádee asserts the meaning of عَنْوَةٌ to be submission and concession; adducing as evidence thereof this verse; attributing the contr. meaning to the vulgar: both, however, are correct; and that first mentioned occurs repeatedly in traditions: but the most learned Yákoot Er-Roomee, in his Moajam, says that the verse above-cited may be rendered as meaning and they did not take it, or her, or them, by superior power attended by [or in consequence of] love, or affection: but they did so by fighting: and that this may be regarded as indicated by the poet's saying اخذوها; for otherwise he would have said, فَمَا سَلَّمُوهَا: and he says, it is a matter of common consent that عَنْوَةٌ signifies force, and superior power. (TA.) b3: It is also a subst. from عَنَا in the first of senses mentioned in this art.: [i. e. it signifies Lowliness, humility, or submissiveness:] (Mgh, TA:) [and] so is ↓ عَنَآءٌ: (Msb:) see 1, first sentence. b4: And it is also a subst. from عَنَا as meaning “ he became a captive: ” [i. e. it signifies also A state of captivity:] (TA:) see, again, 1.

A2: And it is also a subst. from عَنَا in two other senses, as stated above: [i. e. it app. signifies also The act of putting forth, or producing, a thing: and of making it apparent, or showing, it:] (TA:) see, again, 1.

عُنْوَانٌ (S, K, TA) and عِنْوَانٌ (TA) The سِمَة [meaning superscription, or title,] of a book, or writing; (K, TA;) i. q. عُلْوَانٌ; (S;) and عُنْيَانٌ signifies the same; (K in art. عنى;) as also ↓ مُعَنَّى: (K, TA: [in the CK, كَمَعْنَاهُ is put for كَمُعَنَّاهُ:]) the inscription on the back, or outside, of a book, or writing: (Har p. 163, in explanation of عُنْوَانٌ:) [and the address of a letter. and hence,] Anything that serves as an indication of another thing is called its عُنْوَان. (Msb and K in art. عن.) One says, فِى جَبْهَتِهِ عُنْوَانٌ مِنْ كَثْرَةِ السَّجُودِ i. e. [On his forehead is] a mark [from much prostration in prayer]. (TA.) [See more in art. عن.]

عَنَآءٌ: see 1, first sentence; and عَنْوَةٌ, near the end: b2: and see also art. عنى.

عَنِيَّةٌ, of the measure فَعِيلَةٌ, The urine of the camel, inspissated in the sun, with which such as is affected with mange, or scab, is smeared; on the authority of AA: (S:) or certain mixtures of urine and dung of camels, with which the camel affected with mange, or scab, is smeared; also termed ↓ تَعْنِيَةٌ: (K:) or the urine of camels that are caused to void their urine [in my original تُسْتَبَانُ is erroneously written for تُسْتَبَالُ] in the [season called] رَبِيع when they are satisfied with fresh pasture so as to be in no need of water, cooked [app. by boiling] until it becomes thick, when some flowers of some sorts of herbs, and حَبّ المَحْلَب [the prunus mahaleb of Linn.], are thrown upon it, and it becomes inspissated thereby, then put into small [earthen vessels of the kind called] بَسَاتِيق [pl. of بُسْتُوقَةٌ]: or urine [app. of camels] mixed with certain things, and kept close for some time: or any هِنَآء [generally meaning tar, or a kind thereof, with which camels are smeared, as a remedy for the mange, or scab]. (TA.) It is said in a prov., العَنِيَّةُ تَشْفِى الجَرَبَ; (S, TA;) or عَنِيَّتُهُ تَشْفِى الجَرَبَ [for مِنَ الجَرَبِ, i. e. His عنيّة cures the mange, or scab]: applied to the man of good judgment [whose advice is like a remedy]. (TA.) عَانٍ Lowly, humble, or submissive. (Msb, TA.) b2: And (Msb, TA) hence, app., (TA,) A captive; (S, Mgh, Msb, K, TA;) fem. عَانِيَةٌ: (Mgh, TA:) pl. masc. عُنَاةٌ; (S, Mgh, Msb, TA;) and pl. fem. عَوَانٍ. (S, Mgh, TA.) b3: And عَوَانٍ signifies (assumed tropical:) Women; (Msb, K;) sing. عَانِيَةٌ: (Msb:) because they are confined like captives in the abodes of their husbands; (Msb;) or because they are treated wrongfully and not defended against their wrongers. (K.) It occurs in a trad. as meaning Females in the condition of captives: (Mgh:) or women who are captives; or like captives. (IAth, TA.) b4: And it signifies also عَوَامِلُ [which, as pl. of عَامِلَةٌ, is used as meaning Workers, or labourers; and also, as a subst., as meaning the legs of a beast or horse or the like]: and it is said to be used by El-Jaadee as an epithet applied to the limbs of camels, or other beasts, used for riding. (TA.) b5: and hence, perhaps, it is applied to The مَكَّاسُون [or collectors of the impost termed مَكْس, q. v.]; because they are workers, or labourers, for the oppressors. (TA.) A2: Also (the sing.) Flowing, applied to blood, (S, K, TA,) or to water. (TA.) مَعْنَوِىٌّ: see art. عنى.

تَعْنِيَةٌ: [originally inf. n. of 2, q. v.: used as a subst.,] see عَنِيَّةٌ.

مُعَنًّى A stallion [camel] of mean origin, which, when excited by lust, is confined in the [enclosure called] عُنَّة, because his exercise of the faculty of a stallion is avoided: but it is said that it is originally مُعَنَّنٌ, from العُنَّةُ; one of the ن being changed into ى: (S, TA: *) or of mean origin, of which the legs are bound with a rope, when he is excited by lust, for that reason. (TA.) b2: And A camel of which the people of the Time of Ignorance used to displace the سَنَاسِن [pl. of سِنْسِنٌ, q. v.] of one of his vertebræ, and to wound his hump, in order that he might not be ridden, and that no use might be made of his back: this was done when his owner possessed a hundred camels, he being the camel by which they became a hundred: and this act was termed الأِغْلَاقُ: it may be from عَنَآءٌ meaning “ fatigue; ” or from the signification of “ confinement from freedom of action. ” (TA.) A2: See also عُنْوَانٌ.
