زن
1 زَنڤ3َ see 4, in five places.
A2: زَنَّ عَصَبُهُ, [
aor.,
accord. to rule, زَنِّ, or the sec.
Pers\. may be زَنِنْتَ, and the
aor. ـَ and the
inf. n., in this case, رَنَنٌ, which see below, but the
TK makes its
aor. to be زَنُّ, and the
inf. n. زَنٌّ,] His sinews dried up. (
K.)
b2: زَنَّ فَذَنَّ means حقن فقطر [which may be rendered He kept in, or retained, his urine, and then dribbled it, or his urine was kept in, or retained, and then dribbled]. (
TA. [See زِنِّينٌ.]) 4 أَزْنَنْتُهُ I thought him to possess good or evil; as also ↓ زَنَنْتُهُ,
aor. ـُ
inf. n. زَنٌّ: or both mean I imputed, or attributed, to him good or evil: (
Msb:) or فُلَانًا بِخَيْرٍ ↓ زَنَّ or بِشَرٍّ he thought such a one to possess good or evil; like أَزَنَّهُ;
syn. ظَنَّهُ بِهِ: (
K:) or,
accord. to
Lh, one says, أَزْنَنْتُهُ بِمَالٍ and بِخَيْرٍ I thought him to possess [property and (as appears from what is said below on his authority) wealth]: but ↓ زَنَنْتُهُ is what the vulgar say, and is wrong. (
TA.) And أَزْنَنْتُهُ بِشَىْءٍ, (
S,) or بِكَذَا, (
K,) and also بكذا ↓ زَنَنْتُهُ, (
Har p. 112,) [and
accord. to Golius ↓ اِزْتَنَنْتُهُ, mentioned by him as from the
S, but not found therein by Freytag, nor by me in either of my copies,] I suspected him of a thing, or of such a thing: (
S,
K, and
Har ubi suprà:) [but]
Lh says, لَا يَكُونُ الإِزْنَانُ فِى الخَيْرِ [
app. meaning that أَزَنَّ is not said in relation to that which is good: see what is cited on his authority above]. (
TA.) And ازنّهُ بِالأَمْرِ He suspected him of the thing, or affair; like
أَظَنَّهُ. (
S.) And هُوَ يُزَنُّ بِكَذَا [He is suspected of such a thing]. (
S.) Hassán says, حَصَانٌ رَزَانٌ مَا تُزَنُّ بِرِيبَةٍ
i. e. [Chaste, staid,] she is not suspected of evil: [in which تُزَنُّ may be from ↓ زُنَّتْ or from أُزِنَّتْ:] but some restrict themselves to the quadriliteral verb [ازنّ]. (
Msb.) 8 إِزْتَنَ3َ see 4.
زَنَّةٌ A suspicion: whence the saying, ↓ أَبُو زَنَّةٍ
شَرٌّ مِنْهُ أَخُو زَنَّةٍ The ape, or baboon, or monkey, (القِرْدُ,) worse than he is the person who has conceived a suspicion: (
A,
TA:) [for]
b2: أَبُو زَنَّةٍ, (so in three copies of the
S and in my
MS. copy of the
K,) or ↓ ابو زِنَّةٍ, (thus in the
CK and
TK and
JM, [in the second and third of which it is expressly said to be “ with kesr,” which, however, the author of the
K should have added,
accord. to his usual practice, if he meant it to be thus,]) signifies القِرْدُ. (
S,
K.) أَبُو زِنَّةٍ: see what next precedes, in two places.
مَآءٌ زَنَنٌ, and مِيَاهٌ زَنَنٌ, [which suggests that زَنَنٌ is an
inf. n. used as an
epithet,] A water, and waters, small in quantity, and narrow: (
K:) [for] زَنَنٌ signifies strait, or narrow; like زَنَآءٌ and زَنِىٌّ [which do not belong to this art.]: (
TA:) or مَآءٌ زَنَنٌ means [a place of water] of which one knows not whether there be in it water or not. (
K.) ظِلٌّ زَنَانٌ Short [or contracted] shade; like زَنَآءٌ [mentioned in art. زنأ]. (
K.) زُنَانَى A fluid like mucus, that falls from the noses of camels: (
K:) but the more approved word is ذُنَانَى. (
TA.) زَنَانِىٌّ A man who suffices for himself, without any other. (
K.) زَنَّانٌ One who opines, or conjectures, much;
i. q. ظَنَّانٌ. (
TA.) زِنِّينٌ One suppressing his urine and his ordure: occurring in a
trad.: or, as some say, it is زِبِّينٌ, [
q. v.,] with ب. (
TA. [But see 1, and see also what here follows.]) أَزَنُّ One suppressing his urine [or his ordure];
syn. حَاقِنٌ: such is one of the persons forbidden, in a
trad., to act as إِمَام to others. (
TA in art. نصر: mentioned also, but not
expl., in the present art. in the
TA.) [See also the next preceding paragraph.]
