عيج

1 مَا أَعِيجُ بِهِ, (Lth, O, K, TA,) inf. n. عَيْجٌ (Lth, O, TA *) and عُيُوجٌ (Lth, O, TA) and عُوُوجٌ [app. عُؤُوجٌ], (TA,) I do not regard it; do not care for it. (Lth, O, TA.) One says, مَا عَاجَ بِقَوْلِهِ, inf. n. عَيْجٌ and عَيْجُوجَةٌ, He did not regard his saying: or he did not believe it. (ISd, TA.) and مَا أَعِيجُ مِنْ كَلَامِهِ بِشَىْءٍ I care not for anything of his speech, or of what he says: (Fr, ISk, S, O:) and the Benoo-Asad say, مَا أَعُوجُ بِكَلَامِهِ [expl. in art. عوج]; taking it from عُجْتُ النَّاقَةَ. (ISk, S.) b2: مَا عِجْتُ بِهِ I was not pleased, well pleased, content, or satisfied, with it; or did not approve it. (IAar, S, O, K.) b3: مَا عِجْتُ بِخَبَرِ فُلَانٍ I was not satisfied in my mind by the information of such a one, and did not deem it certain. (L.) b4: مَا عِجْتُ بِالمَآءِ I did not satisfy my thirst with the water: (S, O, K, TA:) said by one who has drunk salt water: (S, O, TA:) or I did not profit by it: and sometimes the verb is used in this sense in an affirmative phrase. (TA.) And مَا عِجْتُ بِالدَّوَآءِ I did not profit by the medicine. (S, O, K.) And عاج, aor. ـِ [thus used affirmatively,] He profited by speech, &c. (TA.) b5: مَا يَعِيجُ بِقَلْبِى شَئٌ مِنْ كَلَامِكَ [app. meaning Nothing of thy speech remains in my heart, or mind, (compare عُجْتُ بِالمَكَانِ, in art. عوج,)] is a saying mentioned by IAar. (TA.) b6: [and it seems that عاج عَلَى الشَّئِْ signifies He took to, set about, or commenced, the thing: for Sgh says that] العَيْجُ signifies الإِقْبَالُ عَلَى الشَّئِْ. (O.) عَيْجٌ an inf. n. of 1. (Lth, O, &c.) b2: Also Profit, advantage, or utility. (TA.) b3: And [its pl.] أَعْيَاجٌ signifies Any means of satisfying a man's thirst: [and ↓ عِيَاجٌ seems to have a similar signification, for it is immediately added,] and one says, اللَّبَنُ عِيَاجٌ [app. meaning Milk is a thing that satisfies thirst]. (O.) عِيَاجٌ: see what next precedes. Quasi عيد 2 عيّد: see 2 in art. عود.
