app., as such, meaning He was suspicious, agreeably with the rendering of Golius; or he suspected; as is indicated by its being said of طَنِفٌ meaning مُتَّهَمٌ, in the
TA, that it is
app. a possessive
epithet; for if it were a part.
n., طَنِفَ would signify he was suspected; as it is said to do in the
TK and by Freytag; in my opinion, erroneously, on the supposition that طَنِفٌ meaning مُتَّهَمٌ is its part.
