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. (
IB, on the letter أَلِف.) Zeyd Ibn-
Thábit said, in relation to the expression in the
Kur [ii. 261] نُنْشِزُهَا, [
accord. to one reading, or reciting,] هِىَ زَاىٌ فَزَيِّهَا, meaning [It is زاى, therefore make thou it زاى in thy reading, or reciting; or] read thou it, or recite thou it, with the زاى. (

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. (

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.]

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]. (
