ز
أن زِئْنِىٌّ, applied to a dog, Short: (
S,
K:) one should not say صِينِىٌّ. (
S.) زُؤَانٌ (
S,
M,
Msb,
K) and زُوَانٌ (
M,
Msb) and زِئَانٌ (
M,
K) and زِوَانٌ (
M,
Msb) and زَآنٌ (
K) and زَوَانٌ, (
K in art. زون,
q. v.,) but the like of سَحَابٌ is said by
ISd to be a form not seen by him on the authority of anyone, (
TA,) [A noxious weed, that grows among wheat;
app. darnel-grass; the lolium temulentum of Linn.; so in the present day;] a certain grain, (
Msb,) the bitter grain, (
M,) that mingles with wheat, (
S,
M,
Msb,
K,) and gives a bad quality to it: (
Msb:) [the grain thus called is often, accidentally, or carelessly, mixed with wheat, and causes giddiness: the plant resembles that now called شَيْلَم, a decoction of which is used as an anæsthetic: it is said in the
K in art. شلم that the زؤان is the same as the شَيْلَم: but it is said in the
TA in that art., on the authority of
AHn, that the grain of the شَيْلَم does not intoxicate, (as that of darnel-grass is well known to do in a certain manner,) and that it is very bitter: and in the
K in art. دنق it is said that the دَنْقَة is the زُوَان, and the دَنَقَة is the شَيْلَم: the
TA states more fully in that art. that the دَنْقَة is said by
AHn to be the زُوَان that is in wheat, which is cleared therefrom; and that the دَنَقَة is said by
AA to be the شَيْلَم: Forskål mentions the زِوَان and the شَيْلَم, as different species, among undetermined plants, and describes the former thus: zizania Aleppensibus notissima: inter triticum viget: si semina restant farinæ [sic] mixta, hominem reddunt ex panis esu temulentum: messores plantam non separant; sed post triturationem vanni aut cribri ope semina rejiciunt: (Flora Aegypt. Arab. p. 199:)] the
n. un. is with ة. (
Msb.) أَزْأَنِىٌّ: see what next follows.
يَزْأَنِىٌّ and ↓ أَزْأَنِىٌّ, applied as epithets to a spear, are
dial. vars. of يَزَنِىٌّ (
K,
TA) and أَزَنِىٌّ: (
TA:) spears being thus called in relation to ذُو يَزَنٍ, one of the Kings of Himyer: (
S in art. يزن:) as also آزَنِىٌّ and أَيْزَنِىٌّ, both formed by
transposition. (
TA.)
