(S.) It is said in a prov., تَلْدَغُ العَقْرَبُ وَتَصْئِى or وَتَصِىْءُ, (As, S, Meyd,) this latter verb being formed by transposition, (Meyd,) i. e. The scorpion stings while uttering a cry; (S, Meyd;) the و being a denotative of state: (As, S:) applied to him who does wrong in the guise of him who complains of wrongdoing. (Meyd.) And one says also, جَآءَ بِمَا صَأَى وَصَمَتَ, (S, K,) and بِمَا صَآءَ وَصَمَتَ (IAar, S, TA,) صَآءَ being formed by tranposition from صَأَى, (S,) He brought what was vocal and what was mute; (S, K;) such as slaves and beasts, and clothes and silver; (As, TA;) or sheep or goats, and camels, and gold and silver; (IAar, TA;) meaning he brought much property: and this is likewise a prov.
