اوز

إِوَزٌّ (S, Msb, K) and إِوَزَّةٌ, (S,) or the latter is the n. un. of the former, [which is a coll. gen. n.,] (Msb,) i. q. بَطٌّ [The goose, or geese; and the duck, or ducks; but اوزّ is generally applied to the former of these birds; and بطّ, to the latter; agreeably with a statement in the JM, that بَطٌّ is applied by the Arabs to the small, and إِوَزٌّ to the large]; (S, K;) as also وَزٌّ, of which the n. un. is وَزَّةٌ: (Msb:) إِوَزٌّ is of the measure فِعَلٌّ: (Msb:) [but see what follows:] the pl. is إِوَزُّونَ, (S, Msb, K,) a form which is sometimes used, (S, Msb,) and which is anomalous. (Msb.) [See also كُرْكِىٌّ.] b2: [Hence,] إِوَزٌّ also signifies (assumed tropical:) Short and thick: (K:) fleshy without being tall: (Lth, TA:) fem. with ة. (TA.) El-'Okberee asserts that the أ is augmentative, because it is followed by three radical letters: (MF, TA:) but ISd says that it is of the measure فِعَلٌّ, and may not be of the measure إِفْعَلٌ, [i. e., originally إِوْزَزٌ,] because this does not occur as the measure of an epithet. (TA.) [It seems, however, that اوزّ is in this case a subst. used tropically as an epithet, after the manner of many nicknames.] b3: Also, applied to a man, and to a horse, and to a camel, Firm in make: (AHei in the Expos. of the Tes-heel, and TA:) or, applied to a horse, compact and strong in make. (TA.) إِوَزَّي A manner of walking in which is a moving up and down: or leaning on one side; (K;) [the latter omitted in the CK;] at one time on the right and at another on the left [like a goose or duck]: (TA:) and the walk of a sprightly horse. (TA.) Az says that it may be of the measure إِفْعَلَى, [i. e., originally إِوْزَزَّى,] or فِعَلَّى; but Abu-l-Hasan holds the latter to be the more correct, because it is the measure of many words relating to walking; as جِيَضَّى, and دِفَقَّى. (TA.) أَضٌ مَأْوَزَةٌ A land abounding with the birds called إِوَزّ. (Sgh, K.)
